High-pressure treatment represents a potential method to stabilize microbiologically agricultural raw materials that are sensitive to heat treatments. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL), the main contributors to the exceptional emulsifying properties of yolk, are particularly sensitive to heat treatment. In this study, high-pressure treatments have been performed on LDL, and their impact on LDL physicochemical and emulsifying properties has been assessed. LDL dispersions at two pH levels (pH 3 and 8) were treated at different pressure levels: 200, 400, and 600 MPa at 20 degrees C. LDL dispersion characteristics (solubility, aggregation, and protein denaturation) and LDL emulsifying properties (o/w 30:70 emulsions: droplet size, flocculation, and protein adsorption) of nontreated and high-pressure treated dispersions were compared. Solubility is not altered by high-pressure treatment whatever the pH, whereas aggregation and protein denaturation are drastically enhanced, in particular at pH 8. The effects of these modifications on LDL emulsifying properties are mainly a diminution of the flocculation (depletion and bridging) at this same pH. Finally, it seems that high-pressure treatment combined with an alkaline pH decreases droplet flocculation of LDL dispersions.

Glycosylation can be used to improve the emulsifying properties of protein by covalently binding with sugar. In this study, we prepared coconut protein (CP) -polygalacturonic acid (PA) conjugates by dry-heat method, studied the effect of PA with different molecular weight on the structure and functionality of CP, and characterized the interfacical behavior of CP at the oil-water interface to establish the relationship between interfacial behavior and emulsion stability. The results showed that different molecular weights of PA (28.

Microwave-assisted extraction conditions were optimized using response surface methodology to evaluate the effects of extraction parameters on the yield and carbohydrate content of Luffa aegyptiaca mucilage. Extraction at 540 W for 2 min with a 1:20 (g/mL) was determined as the optimal parameter, resulting in a maximum yield of 5.90 % (w/w) with 63 % carbohydrate content consisting of glucose, galactose, maltose, mannose, and galacturonic acid, with structural linkages of β (1 → 4) and β (1 → 6) glycosidic bonds.

Background: Soy protein isolate (SPI) has poor emulsifying ability because of its low molecular flexibility and compact structure, limiting its application in extruded protein-based foods. Extrusion technology has emerged as a promising way to alter the structural properties of proteins. Therefore, the impacts of grape seed proanthocyanidin (GSP) on structural and emulsifying characteristics of SPI in extrusion field were explored in this study.

This study investigated the physicochemical and emulsifying properties of chickpea protein isolate (CPI)-citrus pectin (CP) conjugates formed via the Maillard reaction across varying reaction durations. CPI and CP were conjugated under controlled dry-heating conditions, and the resulting conjugates were characterized by measuring their particle size, zeta potential, solubility, thermal stability, surface hydrophobicity, and emulsifying properties. The results showed that as reaction duration increased, the particle size and zeta potential of the CPI-CP conjugates increased significantly, reaching a maximum particle size of 1311.

As the quality of life continues to improve globally, there is an increasing demand for nutritious and high-quality food products. Peanut butter, a widely consumed and nutritionally valuable product, must meet stringent quality standards and exhibit excellent stability to satisfy consumer expectations and maintain its competitive position in the market. However, its high fat content, particularly unsaturated fatty acids, makes it highly susceptible to quality deterioration during storage.
