“…Due to different protein compositions, female and male gonads indicate different properties. The scallop male gonads possess unique gelatin‐like behavior under enzyme treatment, we have studied the synergistic gelation of scallop male gonad hydrolysates and different kinds of polysaccharides, such as κ‐carrageenan (Yan et al., 2022; Yan et al., 2021), ι‐carrageenan (Jiang et al., 2022), xanthan gum (Xue et al., 2021), and low‐acyl gellan gum (Nie et al., 2022). However, scallop P. yessoensis female gonad protein isolates (SFGPIs) are primarily composed of vitellogenin and actin with good solubility stability when the pH of the aqueous solution is above 6.0, which could be used as functional sources regarding its foaming, oil absorption, and emulsifying properties (Han, Du, et al., 2019).…”
