Abstract:

Cross-linking of food proteins can modify their functional properties. Casein was cross-linked by polyphenol oxidase from Agaricus bisporus. The emulsifying capacity and emulsion stability of cross-linked casein were analyzed and SDS-PAGE was used to detect the amount of polymer formation. The emulsifying capacity and emulsion stability of cross-linked casein obtained after polyphenol oxidase treatment at 25 ℃ and an enzyme concentration of 400 U/mL for 4 h were 18.3 m2/g and 19.8 min, 17.3% and 37.5% higher than those of non-cross-linked casein, respectively. Such significant increments in both emulsifying properties might be tightly related to the amount of formed cross-linked casein.

Key words: Agaricus bisporus polyphenol oxidase, casein, cross-linking, emulsifying capacity, emulsion stability
