Gallic acid-functionalized soy protein-based multiple cross-linked hydrogel: Mechanism analysis, physicochemical properties, and digestive characteristics
Abstract
Herein, carbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide was used to mediate the grafting of gallic acid (GA) (0.005, 0.0015, and 0.025 wt%) with soybean protein isolate (SPI) in the preparation of SPI-GA conjugates and hydrogels. The modified materials were primarily joined via the CN bonds and exhibited excellent antioxidant properties. In addition, spectral analysis revealed that the grafting of GA increased the flexibility of the SPI structure. The SPI-GA hydrogel is fabricated through covalent/non-covalent cross-linking mechanisms, including Schiff base, Michael addition, and hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, the microstructure, rheological properties, thermal stability, and textural properties of the hydrogel were affected by the amount of GA grafted. The SPI-GA hydrogel exhibited the best performance when the amount of GA graft was 0.015 wt%. Furthermore, the tightly cross-linked structure of SPI-GA prevented premature degradation of the protein by pepsin. In conclusion, these capabilities provide numerous possibilities for the development of multifunctional and active substance delivery carriers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
