Oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by different concentrations of two fractions (7S and 11S) of soy protein, with or without heat treatment at 70 or 90°C, were investigated. Emulsions stabilized by 7S showed smaller droplets than those containing 11S. Moreover, emulsions stabilized by heat treated mixtures enriched in 11S produced gel after high pressure homogenization. Emulsions produced from 75% of 7S and 25% of 11S without or with heat treatment at 70°C showed the smallest droplets, indicating a synergistic effect between them. Thus, the combination between 7S and 11S has a great potential to be used as natural emulsifier in food-grade emulsions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
