Abstract

The conjugates of plant protein and functional oligosaccharide by glycosylation are typically better emulsifiers than protein itself. Pea protein isolate (PPI) and xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) glycosylated conjugates (PPI-MRPS) was prepared by hydrothermal Maillard reaction under 75 ℃ for 90 min. The functional, structural properties and application of PPI-MRPS were researched in this study. Results showed that PPI-MRPS exhibited better solubility (64.58%) and emulsifying properties (emulsifying activity and stability were 12.32 g/m2 and 59.64%) compared with physical mixture (PPI-XOS) and PPI. The results of sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and fluorescence spectrum indicated that new aromatic ring formed in higher molecular conjugates and the space structure changed after glycosylation. Finally, during application, the O/W emulsion stabilized by PPI-MRPS, showed smaller particle size and was more uniform and stable, which indicated PPI-MRPS could be used as a potential new food stabilizer in emulsion products.
