Fibril Nuclei Induced Gels Of Whey Protein Concentration

The nano-fibril of Whey Protein Concentration was a unique protein aggregation structure with self-assembly at specified conditions. Its formation can be divided into three stages, which are defined as the nucleation stage(0h-2h), growth(2h-7h) and stable(7h-10h). Rsearch was mainly focusing on the formed mechanism and the polymerization conditions,Functional properties about nano-fibril were wanted.Gels and gelling processes of milk protein shuold have been studied extensively because of its importance to create newproducts in the food, pharmaceutical and biomedical industries.It may be as a main based component of milk protein.the nanofibrils and nuclei induced gels of WPC were investigated. The textural properties, microstructures(TEM、SEM、Th T) and the main forces of WPC gels with mixing nanofibrils nuclei or nature WPC were different at p H 2.0 and 6.5,further we focused on the effect of nucleation ratio and p H about nuclei- induced gels of WPC,nuclei- induced and nanofibril-induced gels of WPC could expand the applications of milk protein.The main findings were as follows:Nanofibril-induced gels of Whey Protein Concentration. The results showed that compared to the control samples, the gel time was shorter from 10 h to 3h when WPC mixed nano-fibril aggregates,,the gel hardness decreased 31.16%(p H2.0) and 17.05%(p H6.5) and the viscosity increased 0.8(p H2.0)and 1.5(p H6.5) times respectively. The WPC was accelerated aggregation on the nano-fibril surface and increased the β-sheet structure level,The driving force of nanofibril-induced gels of WPC were mainly from non-covalent bond such as the hydrophobic interaction s and the covalent bond were very weak.Nuclei- induced gels of Whey Protein Concentration. Nuclei-induced gels could continue to shorten the gel time compared to nanofibril-induced gels,only 1h was needed.It had a certain advantage compared with nanofibri l-induced gels of WPC.Nuclei- induced gels which improved the gel texture,the gel hardness and chewiness increased 3.74 and 1.37 times. The hardness viscosity and gel chewiness of the nuclei-induced gels compared with the control(p H 2.0) improved 157.67%, 75.83%, 79.27%.The TEM resulted WPC was also accelerated aggregation on the nuclei surface.And it had more amount of WPC than the surface of nano-fibril.The rate of the Th T fluorescence intensity increased 59.8%,it only increased 34.72%mixed with nanofibril.The driving force of nuclei-induced gels of WPC were from non-covalent bond such as the hydrophobic interactions and the covalent bond.The comparison of nuclei- induced gels with nanofibril-induced gels. We observated the microstructure used TEM as nuclei/nanofibril: WPC at 1%wt of the total protein concentration, WPC densely adhered to the surface of nuclei before treatment,while heating 1h nuclear filaments that had more particles increased elongation.The nano-fibril only enriched a littile of the protein particles in the branch.Mixed nuclei measuring the surface hydrophobicity was improving about 22.55% higher than the rate of increase of 7.42% mixed nano-fibril. The degree of free thiol declining mixed nuclei was bigger than nanofibril.The experimental of Th T results showed when adding nanofibril Th T increased by only 14% far lower than adding nuclei improved 80.95%.we comed to the nuclei- induced gels of WPC as comparison with nanofibril had some advantages,the more amount of nucleis, the bette r obvious advantages.The mixing ratio of WPC gels. Analysis the gel time and textural properties of various proportions with adding nuclei, When the nuclei: WPC 1: 5,1: 3,1: 1,3: 1,5: 1,7: 1,1: 0 the time of induced WPC gels were needed from less to more We found that the more the addition ratio of nuclei not the better nuclei- induced gels.nuclei :WPC was 3:1 to form a gel only needed 50 min,the values of hardness was up to 366.769 ± 10.373, chewiness was 48.624 ± 2.812. In this proportion the nuclei mixed with WPC at the same heat–treatment time induced the formation of the most β- sheet structures., the root cause was the rapid formation of a gel. This polymerization driving force not only relied on non-covalent hydrophobic bonding but also covalent disulfide bond as well as a key role. Gel the formation of strong covalent bond had high hardness and good viscosity.The p H effect on the stability of nuclei- induced gels. By researching the ability of different p H nuclei- induced gels,It had the most advantages to form a gel at p H 2.0. Analysis of the driving force of its polymeric surface hydrophobicity reached to 1071.58 ± 102.4 After heating 1h Th T results showed that nuclei induced WPC gels, fluorescence intensity was the highest rate of increase than other p H. After changing the p H as 1.5,2.5,3.0,3.5,6.5 when p H 2.0 nuclei was formed,it could still maintain gelling ability,and high stability.The optimum nuclei proportion. 90 ℃, nuclei: WPC was 3: 1, under conditions of p H 2.0 had the shortest time to form the gels and optimal gel texture. its needed only 50 min. The gelation time of optimum nuclei proportion compared to the control gel(p H 2.0), shortened 91.67%. The optimum nuclei proportion gel hardness viscosity and gel chewiness compared with the control(p H 2.0) respectively improved 289.05%, 120.47%, 107.06%. The optimum nuclei proportion gel shortened the gel time while improved the texture properties of the gel. Its hardness were pure nuclei- induced gels and nanofibril-induced gels 3.66 times and 5.65 times, compared with pure nuclei- induced gels and nanofibril-induced gels were increased by 112.35% and 173.69%. Nuclei- induced gels of WPC when heated 1h formed the most β-sheet structure.we observed that many number of stubby filaments by TEM cou ld interact with WPC through hydrophobic. The per g of WPC caused the hydrophobic surface at the optimum nuclei proportion up to 1383.33.
