Water imbibing capacity of soy protein isolates: influence of protein denaturation

In the present work the influence of the degree of protein denaturation and aggregation on water imbibing capacity (WIC) was studied. The results obtained show that the insoluble fraction of all isolates contributed the most to the WIC of the total isolate. This insoluble fraction is constituted by...

Description
Summary:In the present work the influence of the degree of protein denaturation and aggregation on water imbibing capacity (WIC) was studied. The results obtained show that the insoluble fraction of all isolates contributed the most to the WIC of the total isolate. This insoluble fraction is constituted by denaturated 11S and 7S proteins and some native 7S protein. WIC values of insoluble and soluble fractions are also influenced by the state of aggregation of their component proteins
