Effect of glycation with three polysaccharides on the structural and emulsifying properties of ovalbumin.

Herein, three types of ovalbumin (OA)-polysaccharide conjugates were prepared with three polysaccharides (XG: xanthan gum; GG: guar gum; KGM: konjac glucomannan) for the fish oil emulsion stabilization. The glycation did not change the spectra bands and secondary structure percentages of OA, whereas it decreased the molecular surface hydrophobicity of OA. The initial emulsion droplet sizes were dependent on the polysaccharide types, OA preparation concentrations, polysaccharide: OA mass ratios, and glycation pH.

Complex coacervation of low methoxy pectin with three types of gelatins for the encapsulation of fish oil.

Herein, the complex coacervation of low methoxy pectin (LMP) with three types of gelatins was explored to encapsulate fish oil. The fish oil@gelatin-LMP complex coacervates with good precipitation separation could be obtained at low gelatin concentrations (Fish gelatin, FG: 10-80 mg/mL; porcine skin gelatin, PSG: 10-40 mg/mL; bovine skin gelatin, BSG: 10-80 mg/mL), high gelatin: fish oil mass ratios (4:1-1:1), appropriate gelatin: LMP mass ratios (3:1-12:1 for FG and PSG, 6:1 for BSG), and appropriate pH (FG: 4.90-5.

Molecular modification of low-dissolution soy protein isolates by anionic xanthan gum, neutral guar gum, or neutral konjac glucomannan to improve the protein dissolution and stabilize fish oil emulsion.

Herein, the effects of anionic xanthan gum (XG), neutral guar gum (GG), and neutral konjac glucomannan (KGM) on the dissolution, physicochemical properties, and emulsion stabilization ability of soy protein isolate (SPI)-polysaccharide conjugates were studied. The SPI-polysaccharide conjugates had better water dissolution than the insoluble SPI. Compared with SPI, SPI-polysaccharide conjugates had lower β-sheet (39.
