Effects of ultrasonic and steam-cooking treatments on the physicochemical properties of bamboo shoots protein and the stability of O/W emulsion.

In this study, the effects of ultrasonic and steam-cooking treatments on the physicochemical and emulsifying properties of bamboo shoots protein (BSP) were investigated. The particle size and the polydispersity index (PDI) of U-BSP (ultrasonic-BSP) both decreased. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that the secondary structure of U-BSP was more loose.
