Protein Functionality FDSC400
Goals • Hydrodynamic-Aggregation • Viscosity, Elasticity, Viscoelasticity • Solubility, Water holding capacity • Hydrophobic- Surface Active • Emulsion and foam stabilization • Flavor binding
Hydrodynamic Functionality Dilute Semi-dilute rg Viscosity Concentrated Concentration
Viscosity • A property of LIQUIDS • Viscosity is the resistance to flow. The amount of energy you need to expend to get a given flow rate. • Stress (force per unit area) is proportional to rate of strain (i.e., flow rate) • Particles of any type in a fluid will increase its viscosity • Large, well hydrated polymers contribute most to viscosity
Elasticity • A property of SOLIDS • Elasticity is the force to achieve a given percentage change in length • Stress (force per unit area) is proportional to strain (fractional deformation) • An elastic material must have some solid-like network throughout the structure • The more load bearing structures the more elastic • The more inter-structure links the more elastic
Viscoelasticity • Many materials simultaneously show solid and liquid like properties • If they are stretched they will partly and slowly return to their original shape • Elastic solids would completely recover • Viscous liquids would retain their shape
Creep Dough stretched Dough released +SO32- Length Time
Mechanisms of Link formation • Hydrophobic (following denaturation or hydrolysis) • Thiol-disulfide interchange • Enzymic crosslinking • Also consider repulsive effects (charge)
Gel contains pores Water can flow out of the pores If the gel contracts it may expel liquid SYNERESIS Due to closer association of protein with protein Water Binding
Hydrophobic/Surface Functionality • Emulsion stabilization • Foam destabilization • Flavor binding
Dense, ordered globular proteins 2D Gel Loose, disordered, flexible chains Loop-train-tail model Whey vs. Casein
Proteins adsorbed to surfaces can stabilize emulsions and foams by various mechanisms Proteins are often denatured on binding Emulsion Stabilization electrostatic steric - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (a magnification of the lamella between two touching bubbles or two emulsion droplets)
Food Enzymes • Biological catalysts • Proteins (can be denatured) • Specific (can be inhibited) intermediate Enzyme stabilized intermediate DG Substrate Product reaction
Polyphenol oxidase • Founds in plans, animals and some microorganisms, requires Cu2+, O2 diphenol phenol MELANINS diphenol catechol
Lipoxygenase • Catalyzes peroxidation of fatty acids • Abstracts an H., allows reaction with O2, free radicals produced • Leads to rancidity and flavor • Co-oxidations • Bleaching flour • Thiols • Vitamins
