a b s t r a c tThe aim of this work was to encapsulate casein hydrolysate by complex coacervation with soybean protein isolate (SPI)/pectin. Three treatments were studied with wall material to core ratio of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3. The samples were evaluated for morphological characteristics, moisture, hygroscopicity, solubility, hydrophobicity, surface tension, encapsulation efficiency and bitter taste with a trained sensory panel using a paired comparison test. The samples were very stable in cold water. The hydrophobicity decreased inversely with the hydrolysate content in the microcapsule. Encapsulated samples had lower hygroscopicity values than free hydrolysate. The encapsulation efficiency varied from 91.62% to 78.8%. Encapsulated samples had similar surface tension, higher values than free hydrolysate. The results of the sensory panel test considering the encapsulated samples less bitter (P < 0.05) than the free hydrolysate, showed that complex coacervation with SPI/pectin as wall material was an efficient method for microencapsulation and attenuation of the bitter taste of the hydrolysate.
The aim of this research was to study spray drying as potential action to protect chlorophyllide from environmental conditions for shelf-life extension and characterisation of the powders. Six formulations were prepared with 7.5 and 10 g of carrier agents [gum Arabic (GA), maltodextrin (MA) and soybean protein isolate (SPI)] ⁄ 100 mL of chlorophyllide solutions. The powders were evaluated for morphological characteristics (SEM), particle size, water activity, moisture, density, hygroscopicity, cold water solubility, sorption isotherms, colour and stability, during 90 days. All the powders were highly soluble, with solubility values around 97%. A significant lower hygroscopicity was observed for GA powders, whilst the lower X m values obtained by GAB equation fitting of the sorption isotherms was observed for the 7.5 g MA ⁄ 100 mL samples. All formulations, but the 1 (7.5 g SPI ⁄ 100 mL of chlorophyllide), provided excellent stability to the chlorophyllide during 90 days of storage even at room temperature.
EDNELÍ SORAYA MONTERREY-QUINTERO2 e PAULO JOSÉ DO AMARAL SOBRAL 3 RESUMO -A elaboração de filmes comestíveis à base de biopolímeros implica conhecimento das propriedades físico-químicas da macromolécula. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram a descrição de um método de preparo de proteínas miofibrilares de tilápia-do-nilo (Oreochromis niloticus), o estudo das propriedades relacionadas com a formação de filmes, e a caracterização dos biofilmes elaborados com a proteína. Músculo moído de tilápia-do-nilo, recém-abatida, foi lavado e processado até formação de uma pasta homogênea. A evolução das frações protéicas, durante o processamento, foi acompanhada por calorimetria diferencial de varredura. Estudou-se a solubilidade das proteínas miofibrilares liofilizadas (PML) em função do pH (2-7). A identificação das frações protéicas e dos aminoácidos foi realizada por SDS-PAGE e cromatografia de troca iônica, respectivamente. Os biofilmes formados foram submetidos a testes de perfuração, de solubilidade e microscopia eletrônica. A amostra de PML, constituída apenas de proteínas miofibrilares, apresentou uma região de máxima solubilidade (96,9%) em torno do pH 3,0 e elevado potencial de interações iônicas (74,4 kJ/100 kJ). Os biofilmes à base das PML de tilápia-do-nilo são pouco solúveis (abaixo de 20 g/100 g matéria seca). O glicerol influencia fortemente as propriedades mecânicas e a solubilidade dos biofilmes.Termos para indexação: filmes comestíveis, propriedades funcionais, propriedades mecânicas, solubilidade.
EXTRACTION AND PROPERTIES OF NILE TILAPIA MYOFIBRILLAR PROTEINS FOR EDIBLE FILMSABSTRACT -The elaboration of edible films based on biopolymers, implies the knowledge of physicochemical properties of macromolecules. The objectives of this work were to describe a methodology of preparing Nile Tilapia myofibrillar proteins and study the properties related to formation and characterization of edible film elaborated with these proteins. Freshly slaughtered ground Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) muscle was washed and processed until the formation of a homogeneous paste. Evolution of protein fractions during processing was followed by scanning differential calorimetry. Solubility of freeze-dried myofibrillar proteins was studied as a function of pH (2-7). Identification of protein fractions and that of the composition of amino acids were accomplished by SDS-PAGE and ion-exchange chromatography, respectively. Biofilms, thus formed, were submitted to puncture, solubility and scanning electron microscopy tests. The sample of freeze-fried proteins, constituted only of myofibrillar proteins, presented maximum solubility (96.9%), at pH around 3 and a high ionic interaction potential (74.4 kJ/100 kJ). Nile Tilapia myofibrillar protein based biofilms were not very soluble (lower than 20 g/100 g dry matter). Glycerol strongly influenced mechanical as well as solubility properties of biofilms.
