A comparison of the impacts of different polysaccharides on the sono-physico-chemical consequences of ultrasonic-assisted modifications

Unexpected variations in the effects of ultrasound-assisted myofibrillar protein processing under varying viscosity conditions

“…With a correlation coefficient of 0.64, the high-speed shear viscosity of the MRN/GAD system had the highest positive connection with the crystal violet degradation rate. This was analogous to the conclusion reported by Chen et al (2023) [18] that increasing the viscosity of the system with locust bean gum accelerated the significant degradation of crystal violet. Qin et al (2023) [26] found a negative relationship of viscosity with the sono-physico-chemical effects, and they attributed these findings to the diminishing influence of bubble-breaking strength.…”

“…The study conducted by Chen et al (2022) [9] further showed that free radical oxidation improved the covalent coupling effect by lowering the system's viscosity. However, according to the outcomes of Chen et al (2023) [18] , the system's viscosity containing MRN was increased after the addition of locust bean gum, corresponding to the higher cavitation effect and covalent efficiency. Various factors, such as raw materials and processing settings, may be responsible for the variations in the outcomes.…”

“…A comparable finding was observed by Li et al (2021) [29] , stating that the structural transformation induced by UID promoted the formation of covalent interactions. A previous investigation also hypothesized that the composition of proteins and polyphenols in UID systems may influence the generation of free radicals, which in turn affected alterations in protein bands [18] . In this study, the MRN/GAD7 group, which possessed the highest low-speed shear viscosity, exhibited the most pronounced band shift.…”

“…Furthermore, systems with a lower viscosity display stronger cavitation than those with a higher viscosity [17] . In another investigation, which studied the influence of locust bean gum on UID processing, the authors discovered that the higher viscosity also greatly boosted processing efficiency [18] . The influence of viscosity on the effectiveness of UID-assisted manufacturing is thus debatable.…”
