Abstract:

: 

The 2 main storage proteins of soy—glycinin (11S) and β-conglycinin (7S)—exhibit unique behaviors during processing, such as gelling, emulsifying, or foaming. The objective of this work was to observe the interactions between soy protein isolates enriched in 7S or 11S and whey protein isolate (WPI) in oil-water emulsion systems. Soy oil emulsion droplets were stabilized by either soy proteins (7S or 11S rich fractions) or whey proteins, and then whey proteins or soy proteins were added to the aqueous phase. Although the emulsifying behavior of these proteins has been studied separately, the effect of the presence of mixed protein systems at interfaces on the bulk properties of the emulsions has yet to be characterized. The particle size distribution and viscosity of the emulsions were measured before and after heating at 80 and 90 °C for 10 min. In addition, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis was carried out to determine if protein adsorption or exchanges at the interface occurred after heating. When WPI was added to soy protein emulsions, gelling occurred with heat treatment at WPI concentrations >2.5%. In addition, whey proteins were found adsorbed at the oil-water interface together with 7S or 11S proteins. When 7S or 11S fractions were added to WPI-stabilized emulsions, no gelation occurred at concentrations up to 2.5% soy protein. In this case also, 7S or 11S formed complexes at the interface with whey proteins during heating.
