This study investigates the effects of varying heat stress temperatures (56 °C to 76 °C) on the gel characteristics of egg white protein. The results indicate that when the heat stress temperature exceeds 60 °C, the textural properties, water-holding capacity, and freeze-thaw stability of egg white gel (EWG) decrease to varying extents compared to untreated EWG. At 76 °C, the proportion of free water in EWG increases from 0.

In recent years, freeze-thaw stability of high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) has gained increasing attention. High-temperature glycosylation-modified proteins have shown to produce stable HIPEs. This study examines the effects of high-temperature glycosylation on egg white protein (EWP) and fructo-oligosaccharides (FO), focusing on how pH and EWP/FO ratios affect the structure of glycosylated EWPs (GEWPs) and HIPEs stability.

In this paper, egg yolk-amino acid (betaine or proline) complex was prepared at different pasteurization temperatures (68, 72 and 76 °C). Then complexes were applied to stabilized mayonnaise emulsion system. The results demonstrated that liquid egg yolk (LEY) protein structure gradually aggregated, molecular flexibility increased by 5 %, interfacial tension and intermolecular force enhanced remarkably with growth of pasteurization temperature.

Article Synopsis
  • * The treatment leads to a change in the protein structure, enhancing binding water capacity and shifting to more stable gel forms, which decreases surface hydrophobicity.
  • * The study uncovers specific protein band disappearances and surface texture changes through electrophoresis and microscopy, contributing to the understanding of why foaming properties deteriorate under heat stress.

In order to mitigate the risk of cardiovascular diseases associated with excessive saturated fatty acid intake, utilizing high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) as a substitute for animal fat in producing high-quality fat-substituted meat products is an ideal approach. This study involves the preparation of glycosylation products of egg white protein (EWP) through saccharification at high temperatures in the presence of fructooligosaccharides (FO). The resulting glycation products of EWP were employed to create colloidal particles, forming HIPEs, which were further utilized to induce the formation of HIPEs gels (HIPEs-Gs).

Pipeline blockage caused by liquid egg yolk (LEY) in the pasteurization process has become an urgent problem for egg industry. This study investigated the effects of amino acids (betaine/proline) on rheology of LEY and gel property of egg yolk gel (EYG) at various pasteurization temperatures (68, 72, and 76 °C). Rheological results revealed that 72 °C was the key transition point for increase in LEY thermal aggregation rate.

Whole egg powder (WEP), predominantly utilized as an ingredient in ready-to-eat foods such as bakery items, puffed snacks and other products, necessitates the consideration of appropriate packaging materials to preserve its quality properties during processing and transportation. The quality changes of WEP were evaluated in PA, C-PA and PE-PP-Al packaging for 35 days at 60 °C in accelerated storage. The results indicate that among the three packaging materials, PE-PP-Al exhibits the highest barrier properties, effectively inhibiting moisture loss, caking, reduced solubility, oxidative deterioration, and decreased thermal stability in WEP.

  • - The study investigates how heating egg whites (EW) at different intensities and adding rhamnolipid and soybean lecithin affect the gelling properties, using various scientific techniques to analyze their physical and molecular characteristics.
  • - Results indicate that increasing rhamnolipid content reduces free water and enhances gelling properties, such as cohesiveness and chewiness, particularly at specific heat and time combinations.
  • - The mixed effects model reveals interactions between heating intensity and composition on key properties like zeta potential and water content, while visual network analysis identifies factors that significantly affect EW's gelling properties after different treatments.

The potential of potassium chloride (KCl) to be used as a substitute for sodium chloride (NaCl) was studied by monitoring the effects of salt treatment on thermal behavior, aggregation kinetics, rheological properties, and protein conformational changes. The results show that the addition of KCl can improve solubility, reduce turbidity and particle size, and positively influence rheological parameters such as apparent viscosity, consistency coefficient ( value), and fluidity index (). These changes indicate delayed thermal denaturation.

Monitoring and controlling the freezing process and thermal properties of foods is an important means to understand and maintain product quality. Saccharides were used in this study to regulate the gelation of liquid egg yolks induced by freeze‒thawing; the selected saccharides included sucrose, L-arabinose, xylitol, trehalose, D-cellobiose, and xylooligosaccharides. The regulatory effects of saccharides on frozen egg yolks were investigated by characterizing their thermal and rheological properties and structural changes.

In this study, the influence of compound sugar (glucose, sucrose, trehalose, and arabinose) and compound sugar and salt (glucose, sucrose, trehalose, arabinose, and NaCl) on the thermal stability of heat-treated liquid egg yolk was explored. The results showed that the addition of 4% compound sugar or 4% compound sugar salt could significantly enhance the heat resistance of liquid egg yolk and increase the denaturation temperature of liquid egg yolk to above 77°C. Moreover, the addition of sugar and salt could improve the functional properties of liquid egg yolk to varying degrees, allowing it to maintain excellent emulsification and soluble protein content after heat treatment.

Liquid whole egg (LWE) products have many advantages such as convenient transportation, easy production and are safe. However, LWE has a short shelf life and high thermal sensitivity, so suitable heating treatment is the key to the production of LWE products. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of heating treatments conditions (at 55-67 °C for 0-10 min) on the emulsification, foaming activity and rheological properties of LWE.
