Abstract
The surface and emulsifying properties of a commercial pea protein isolate in oil-in-water model emulsions and the role of insoluble residues in emulsion stability were investigated. Droplet size distribution, flocculation index, microstructure, and protein coverage of the emulsions were evaluated. The insoluble fraction positively contributed to the pea proteins’ emulsifying properties, allowing the formation of emulsions with higher dispersion degree, especially at low isolate concentration, with an enhancement of the physical stability.
期刊介绍:
"Italian Journal of Food Science" is an international journal publishing original, basic and applied papers, reviews, short communications, surveys and opinions on food science and technology with specific reference to the Mediterranean Region. Its expanded scope includes food production, food engineering, food management, food quality, shelf-life, consumer acceptance of foodstuffs, food safety and nutrition, energy and environmental aspects of food processing on the whole life cycle.
Reviews and surveys on specific topics relevant to the advance of the Mediterranean food industry are particularly welcome.
