Abstract:The influence of sucrose palmitate, Tween 20, and lecithin on the properties of heat-induced aggregates and cold-set gels of β-lactoglobulin was studied based on an experimental mixture design with a fixed total emulsifier concentration. Emulsifiers were added to the protein solution before heating. Aggregate size and absolute values of ζ potential increased with the addition of emulsifiers, among which lecithin had the most pronounced effect. The water retention of the aggregates correlated positively with th… Show more
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.
