Functional properties of proteins in foods: A survey

“…Protein concentrations of 10% have been used for samples from sunflower seeds and soybean; centrifugation at 2500 rpm for 15 min was used by Fleming et al, 144 and 1610 X G (3200 rpm for 15 min) was used by Lin et al 272 Fleming et al 144 reported that the method used in mixing the protein dispersion and presence of NaCl affected the water absorption values obtained. In general, a "short mix" resulted in higher water absorption than a "long mix," and the presence of NaCl reduced water absorption of 228 Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition both soy and sunflower seed proteins. These authors also reported that water absorption tended to increase with concentration of protein.…”

“…Gelatin derived from animal and fish collagen 194 is by far the most studied gel-forming protein, because of its wide use in food desserts, marshmallows, jellied meats, candies, and bakery products. The physicochemical aspects of gelatin and gelation, and the effects of protein concentration, temperature, pH, salts, and ions on gelation, as well as the properties of gels, have been reviewed in detail by Idson and Braswell, 228 Harrington and Von Hippel, 194 Veis, 4 " and Tiemstra. 440 Gelability and curd-forming ability constitute the technical basis for a variety of products and large-scale technologies using soybean and milk proteins.…”

Controlled Release of Doxorubicin from Electrospun Gelatin Nanofibers

“…Gelatin is a natural biopolymer derived from animal collagen, having a long history of safe use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics as well as food products [8]. Because of its great biocompatibility and biodegradability properties, gelatin has a broad applications in biomedical fields, especially as a drug delivery carrier [9].…”

“…At present, researches on biodegradable nanofibers focus on development for delivering drugs and releasing them continuously over a period of time. Drug delivery with polymeric nanofibers with higher drug encapsulation efficiency and better stability than other drug formulations possess high surface-to-volume ratio which would accelerate the solubility of drug in the aqueous solution and enhance the efficiency of the drug [6,7].Gelatin is a natural biopolymer derived from animal collagen, having a long history of safe use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics as well as food products [8].

Innovative Water-Insoluble Edible Film Based on Biocatalytic Crosslink of Gelatin Rich in Glutamine

“…To the best of our knowledge, little information regarding the main influence factors in modification has been reported, and producing water-insoluble gelatin film with MTGase modification was still an area not elucidated. In a previous study, we have developed a one-step biocatalysis method to extract type E gelatin and found that the three existing gelatin production methods (the acid process, the liming process, and the enzymatic process) [17][18][19] could produce gelatin with different water solubility under MTGase modification. Furthermore, an innovative water-insoluble gelatin film can be produced while using type E gelatin.…”
