ABSTRACT

2

Aiming to achieve the modification to soy protein isolate (SPI) by soy soluble polysaccharides

3

(SSPS), electrically driven complex systems were first established in the environment of pH 3.0,

4

and then reconstituted SPI particles with different SPI-SSPS ratios were obtained under freeze-

5

drying process. Through these treatment, the structures of SPI particles were partly unfolded and

6

adsorbed SSPS mainly via hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding with larger particle sizes.

7

The adherent of SSPS decreased the surface hydrophobicity of reconstituted SPI particles, but

8

exerted no much influence on the emulsifying and foaming activities and increased the

9

corresponding stabilities due to enhancing the unfolded extent of structure and improving the

10

conformation flexibility. Reconstituted SPI-SSPS particles might rearrange and link each other due

11

to presence of SSPS on the air-water interface to better stabilize these systems. At SPI-SSPS ratio

12

of 10:1, lower temperature was required to form gels with lower gel intensity and porous structure.

13

The findings provide a further comprehension to the relationship between structures and functional

14

properties of SPI modified by SSPS and the feasibility of applying these reconstituted particles to

15

needed areas.

INTRODUCTION

18

Soy proteins are a kind of common but significant proteins in food industry, which are extracted

19

from soybean with favorable functional properties, high nutritional value and some beneficial

20

healthy influence (e.g. cholesterol-reducing ability).1, 2 Soy protein isolates (SPI) are the major soy

21

protein product, generally prepared from defatted soybean meal applying the conventional method

22

of alkali-solution and acid-isolation.3-5 Owing to the amphipathic (hydrophilic and hydrophobic)

23

nature of soy proteins, SPI possess a favorable capacity to being adsorbed onto the oil-water or air-

24

water interface and maintaining the structure of corresponding system as stabilizers, i.e., SPI have

25

good foaming and emulsifying abilities. In regard to forming SPI-based gels, common gelation

26

methods such as thermal treatment, acid inducement, divalent salt inducement and enzyme

27

treatment can be used to achieve the formation of gels.2 Polysaccharides play vital roles as

28

thickening, stabilizing, and gelling agents in many foods. Soy soluble polysaccharides (SSPS) are a

29

family of pectin-like acidic biopolymers extracted from the residual carbohydrate byproduct of SPI

30

production (okara).6 These polysaccharides are composed of a main rhamnogalacturonan backbone

31

branched with β-1,4-galactan and α-1,3 or α-1,5-arabinan chains, and homogalacturonan covalently

32

bound to a hydrophobic protein part that is essential for the surficial activity of SSPS.7,8 SSPS is a

33

flexible random coil in solution, and due to special structure (short main chain and long branch

34

chains, the shape in solution is similar to spherical structure.9, 10 Many previous researches indicated

35

that SSPS have high water solubility, low pH and high temperature stability, low bulk viscosity, and

36

are able to form strong interfacial films with thick of 17 ~ 30 nm capable of stabilizing emulsions

37

via steric repulsion.7-12

38

Protein-polysaccharide complex systems have received increasing interest in recent years. And

39

there has been abundant scientific literature focusing on the electrostatic attractions between

40

oppositely charged proteins and polysaccharides owing to the convenience and simplicity for

41

complex formation.6, 13-16 The complexation process is basically governed by pH, ionic strength,

42

polymer ratio, polymer concentration, and charge quantity. Given the molecular characteristics of

43

applied protein or polysaccharide and processing parameters, electrically driven complex systems

44

with various compositions and structures can be established, e.g., soluble and insoluble complexes,

45

coacervates, and gels. These systems can be used to encapsulate and protect sensitive materials, to

46

purify macromolecules and to delivery bioactive substance or as colloidal entities as, thus exhibiting

47

a wide-range application in food industry, cosmetic and medicine fields.16-21

48

However, there are scarcely any reports about the formation and properties of proteins modified

49

by polysaccharide through freeze-drying treatment based on electrically driven complex systems.

50

Therefore, this study first formed the SPI-SSPS complex systems under condition of pH 3.0, then

51

freeze-drying/reconstituted SPI-SSPS particles were obtained. With the aim to further

52

understanding of the relationship between the structures and functional properties of this SPI

53

modified by SSPS and provide helpful scientific references to apply these reconstituted SPI-SSPS

54

particles at neutral conditions as materials in the areas of food, cosmetic and medicine, these related

55

determinations was conducted at pH 7.0 from zeta-potential, particle size, intrinsic fluorescence,

56

surface hydrophobicity, atomic force microscopy, emulsifying properties, foaming properties,

57

interfacial tension and thermal induced gelation.
