Abstract: Rice dregs glutelin (RDG) was glycosylated with carrageenan (Car) by dry-heated Maillard reaction. The effects of mass ratio of RDG to Car and reaction time on degree of graft reaction and functional properties of RDG-Car conjugates were investigated. The results showed that the degree of graft reaction was 28.84% under the optimal conditions: RDG-to-Car mass ratio 1:2, temperature 60 ℃, relative humidity 79% and reaction time 24 h. The solubility, emulsifying property and emulsion stability of the resulting RDG-Car conjugate were improved obviously, which were increased by 2.04, 4.84 and 0.63 times, respectively when compared with those of RDG. Meanwhile, we found that the surface hydrophobicity of glutelin was reduced dramatically after glycosylation with Car. Compared with RDG, its conjugate with Car exhibited much higher solubility, emulsifying capacity and emulsion stability in a wide pH range.

Key words: rice dregs glutelin, carrageenan, solubility, emulsifying properties
