Structure formation mechanism of pectin-soy protein isolate gels: Unraveling the role of peach pectin fractions.

This study investigated the macro & micro properties of the composite gels formed by soy protein isolate (SPI) and peach pectin fractions: water-soluble pectin (WSP), chelator-soluble pectin (CSP), and sodium carbonate soluble pectin (NSP). Specially, the interaction between pectin fractions and SPI was studied to explain the formation mechanism of the composite gels. WSP, as a high methoxyl pectin, exhibited rich branching (sugar ratio B = 3.

Valorization of Grain and Oil By-Products with Special Focus on Hemicellulose Modification.

Hemicellulose is one of the most important natural polysaccharides in nature. Hemicellulose from different sources varies in chemical composition and structure, which in turn affects the modification effects and industrial applications. Grain and oil by-products (GOBPs) are important raw materials for hemicellulose.

Impact of deodorisation time and temperature on the removal of different MOAH structures: a lab-scale study on spiked coconut oil.

Vegetable fats and oils are prone to contamination by mineral oil hydrocarbons due to the lipophilic and ubiquitous character of the latter. As the aromatic fraction of these hydrocarbons, MOAH, is associated with carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and detrimental effects on foetal development, finding strategies to limit or reduce their contamination is highly relevant. Deodorisation (i.

Impact of pilot-scale microfluidization on soybean protein structure in powder and solution.

The effect of microfluidization treatment on the primary, secondary, and tertiary structure of soybean protein isolate (SPI) was investigated. The samples were treated with and without controlling the temperature and circulated in the system 1, 3, and 5 times at high pressure (137 MPa). Then, the treated samples were freeze-dried and reconstituted in water to check the impact of the microfluidization on two different states: powder and solution.
