摘要:
Antifreeze polypeptides, antifreeze compositions including the polypeptides, nucleotides encoding the antifreeze polypeptides, methods of making antifreeze compositions, and methods of inhibiting ice crystal growth are provided herein. The peptides are based on the primary sequence of collagen and include those having a molecular weight between about 500-7000 Da. The peptides preferably include cationic polypeptides. The methods of making antifreeze compositions include digesting collagen or gelatin into hydrolysates with peptides having molecular weights between about 500-7000 Da. The digestions are performed with proteases and/or non-enzymatic hydrolysis. The methods of inhibiting ice crystal growth include adding the antifreeze polypeptides or compositions described herein to a composition to be frozen. The methods may be used to inhibit ice crystal growth in frozen food products.

Described are methods of removing phospholipids and other off-flavor-causing compounds from edible proteins using a cyclodextrin treatment. The methods include treating soy protein with cyclodextrins such as β-cyclodextrin to form cyclodextrin-compound complexes and then separating the resulting complexes from the protein. Optionally, prior to treating the protein with cyclodextrin, the protein is sonicated and then treated with a phospholipase, such as phospholipase A2. Versions of the methods described herein are capable of removing more than 99% of phospholipids from soy protein.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method of selectively separating milk fat globule membrane fragments and milk fat globules from whey. The method includes the steps of adding to whey an amount of a whey-soluble zinc salt and adjusting the pH of the whey to be less than 6.0. The amount of zinc salt added to the whey is sufficient to cause milk fat globule membrane fragments and milk fat globules contained in the whey to precipitate selectively from the whey.
摘要:
The present invention is a biodegradable, reversibly-swellable, polyvalent cation-binding, protein-based hydrogel which comprises an acyl-modified protein matrix in which the acyl-modified protein matrix is crosslinked with a bifunctional crosslinking reagent, and a method of making the same.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel compositions and methods for producing protein-polysaccharide conjugates in aqueous solutions. Also provided are methods for limiting the Maillard reaction to the very initial stage, the formation of the Schiff base. Provided are methods to obtain a simple product of Schiff base with white color, and compositions obtained using the methods of the present invention.
摘要:
Novel methods for producing whey protein concentrates with favorable properties are provided. The methods include using chitosan selective precipitation whey pre-treatment, and microfiltration using polymeric membranes. The products obtained using these methods include WPC80 with low fat content, high clarity, low browning potential during storage, and having low levels of volatiles. Compositions and foaming agents obtained using the methods of the present invention are also provided.
