Abstract

Ball-milled soy protein isolate (BMSPI) and chlorogenic acid (CA) covalent complexes were prepared via alkaline conjugation to investigate how mechanical pretreatment modulates protein-polyphenol structure-function relationships. At 0.5 mM CA, binding was optimized, yielding reduced particle size/turbidity, increased zeta potential (32.85 ± 2.32 mV), smoother surfaces, decreased free sulfhydryl content, and enhanced α-helix (16.85%) with reduced random coil (35%). Unlike direct SPI-CA conjugation, BMSPI tolerated higher CA (0.8 mM) via mechanically induced unfolding and disulfide cross-linking, which redirected cysteine reactivity. BMSPI-CA conjugates exhibited superior emulsifying properties, and their nanoemulsions demonstrated excellent thermal, pH, and salt-ion stability over 14 days, offering a mechanistic basis for engineering interfacial performance via physical-chemical synergy

Construction and characterization of a ternary composite emulsion based on hydrolyzed soy protein isolate.

Achieving long-term stability of oil-in-water emulsions through robust interfacial films remains challenging. This study aimed to address this challenge by using hydrolyzed soy protein isolate-tannic acid-citrus pectin (HSPI-TA-CP) ternary complexes as stabilizers and investigating the effects of complex concentration...

Fabrication, characterization, and bioactivity assessment of chitosan microemulsion containing lauric acid-vitamin E against foodborne pathogens.

Lauric acid (LA) is an antimicrobial medium-chain fatty acid, but its poor aqueous solubility limits its application in food matrices. To address this, ultrasound-assisted emulsion was developed using LA in vitamin E (VE) oil and chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol (CS-PVA) aqueous matrix. The emulsion exhibited uniformly dispe...

Pickering emulsions for intelligent curcumin delivery: Synergistic stabilization by starch nanocrystals and soy β-conglycinin or glycinin.

Starch nanocrystals (SNCs) derived from rice starch were complexed with soybean β-conglycinin (7S) or glycinin (11S) to develop food-grade Pickering emulsifiers for curcumin delivery. The effects of the SNC-to-protein mass ratio on particle structure, interfacial properties, emulsion stability, and gastrointestinal dig...
