Abstract

Oyster protein isolate (OPI) suspensions (6.19 % ± 0.82 %, w/v) were treated by high-pressure homogenization (HPH) at 0 (control), 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 MPa for three cycles. Protein profiles, secondary structure, free sulfhydryl, surface hydrophobicity, particle size distribution, zeta-potential, solubility, water and oil holding capacity (OHC), emulsifying and foaming properties of the obtained suspensions were analyzed. The results showed that HPH treatment did not cause changes in protein profiles of OPI, but caused changes in secondary structure, content of α-helix decreased but content of β-turn and random coil increased significantly (P < 0.05). Free sulfhydryl and surface hydrophobicity all increased significantly (P < 0.05) after HPH treatment, indicating that tertiary and quaternary structures changed. Functional properties of OPI significantly (P < 0.05) improved after HPH treatment, such as zeta-potential (from −12.67 to −33.57 mV), solubility (from 20.24 % to 57.99 %), OHC (from 981.77 % to 1229.40 %), foaming ability (from 17.50 % to 35.00 %), foaming stability (from 44.49 % to 66.60 %), emulsifying activity index (from 8.87 to 17.06 m2/g) and emulsion stability index (from 14.65 to 41.68 min). At 60 MPa and 80 MPa, the improvements were more remarkable. However, HPH treatment significantly (P < 0.05) decreased particle size (from 200–500 nm to 0–200 nm) and water holding capacity (from 341.15 % to 216.96 %). These improvements were closely related to structural changes and reduction of particle size. Application of different pressures affected functional properties of OPI. These results could provide information for determining HPH applying condition in OPI modification.
