Article Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the potential usage of exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Leuconostoc lactis GW-6 species as an emulsifier in a low-fat mayonnaise by the formation of a complex with whey protein isolate (WPI) to improve rheological properties, emulsion, and oxidative stability. For the determination of rheological properties, the flow behavior, frequency sweep, and 3-ITT rheological properties of low-fat mayonnaise samples were studied. All samples showed shear thinning, viscoelastic solid-like, and recoverable character. The K and n values for the mayonnaise samples were determined as 24.529-174.403 Pa.s and 0.166-0.304, respectively, indicating that shear-thinning characters could be improved with WPI-EPS interaction. The higher K' and K″ values of all low-fat samples prepared with EPS-WPI than the low-fat control sample explained the synergistic effect of EPS and WPI. Importantly, no effect was observed when WPI was used as alone as an emulsifier. Oxidative stability was tested by OXITEST and IP values of samples prepared by WPI and EPS were compared to control samples. In conclusion, the results of this study showed that the EPS and WPI interaction can significantly affect the rheological properties and emulsion and oxidative stability of mayonnaise samples.

This study investigates how hydrophobic and hydrophilic modifications at the C-terminus of the base peptide, KFEFEFKFK (KbpK), affect the hydrogel macroscopic properties. By the incorporation of phenylalanine (F, hydrophobic) and lysine (K, hydrophilic) residues, four variants, KbpK-K, KbpK-F, KbpK-KF, and KbpK-FK, were designed and evaluated. pH-concentration phase diagrams and Fourier transform infrared confirmed clear links showing how peptide hydrophobicity and charge influence β-sheet formation and macroscopic phase behavior.

Emulsion formation presents a significant operational challenge in oil production, necessitating the continuous development of novel and effective demulsification methods. However, the lack of a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the formation of these emulsions significantly complicates this process. In this study, we systematically investigated the influence of Ca ions on crude oil emulsions.

The growing consumer interest in functional and health-oriented foods prompted the incorporation of tartary buckwheat sprout flour (TBSF) into food production. The addition of TBSF enhanced the nutritional value of noodles. Research has shown that as the proportion of TBSF increased, both the water absorption rate and thermal stability of the dough improved, while formation time decreased and dough aging was inhibited.

The melting characteristics of cheese play a pivotal role in determining functional performance in various applications. Measuring the meltability and melting point of cheese is a challenge and requires sophisticated equipment, a laboratory setup, and personnel training, and the cost can be prohibitive. Over the years, many tests have been developed to determine the meltability or melting point of cheese.

This study compared the effects of phosphorylated modified long-chain inulin (PF) with low (PF1), medium (PF3), and high (PF6) degrees of substitution on the rheological, thermal, gluten network depolymerization characteristics, and microstructure of unfrozen and frozen dough. The results showed that PF increased G', G", Tp, and ΔH of unfrozen and frozen dough. Gluten protein analysis revealed that PF significantly increased the SS and α-helix content in gluten, with 3 %FPF3 showing an 11.
