Effect of β-sitosterol+γ-oryzanol-based oleogels on protein conformation and gel properties of Nemiperus virgatus surimi.
Background: The impact of β-sitosterol+γ-oryzanol-based oleogels or peanut oil on the protein conformation and gel quality of Nemiperus virgatus surimi was evaluated.
Results: A significant reduction in gel strength, texture parameters and water holding capacity (WHC) of surimi was found as oil concentration increased (P < 0.05). However, compared with peanut oil, the gel strength, hydrophobic interaction and disulfide bond content of surimi gel containing oleogels increased by 6.919%, 32.635% and 12.409%, respectively, when the oil concentration was 10 g kg-1. Both oleogels and peanut oil could enhance the whiteness of surimi gel. Oleogels induced the unfolding of surimi proteins, and promoted the conformational shift from α-helix to β-sheet structure. Furthermore, oleogels filled the gaps of protein networks to make the microstructure of surimi gel more compact and uniform, improving the WHC and reducing the cooking loss.
