Structure, rheology and functionality of whey protein emulsion gels: Effects of double cross-linking with transglutaminase and calcium ions
Abstract
Abstract This article focused on the formation, physicochemical properties, and functionality of whey protein isolate (WPI) emulsion gels induced by crosslinking with transglutaminase and/or Ca2+ ions. The emulsion gels were fabricated using the combination of high-energy homogenization and cold-gelation. The microstructure, rheology and processing characteristics of the emulsion gels were then evaluated. Cross-linking with transglutaminase led to the formation of emulsion gels containing small particle aggregates, whereas cross-linking with Ca2+ led to the formation of larger particle aggregates. As expected, the apparent viscosity, strength, water holding capacity and hardness of the emulsion gels increased after crosslinking, especially when transglutaminase and Ca2+ ions were added together. Moreover, WPI hydrogels had higher gel strength in the presence of oil droplets than in their absence, suggesting that the droplets reinforced the gel structure. FTIR confirmed that the crosslinking agents promoted the aggregation of the proteins, thus forming an emulsion gel network. The results of this study may facilitate the design of new food materials with novel or improved textural and sensory characteristics.

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.
