Zusammenfassung: | The properties of faba bean (
L.) protein isolate (FPI) gels depend on their starting protein material and can be modulated by the addition of polysaccharides. In order to investigate the interplay between these two factors, commercial FPI (FPI
) and FPI prepared in-house (FPI
) were used to fabricate glucono-delta-lactone-induced gels, with or without dextran (DX) addition. FPI
exhibited lower solubility in water and a larger mean particle size, likely because it experienced extensive degradation due to the intense conditions involved in its preparation. The FPI
gel showed a similar water-holding capacity as the FPI
gel; however, its hardness was lower and viscoelasticity was higher. After DX addition, the hardness of both FPI gels decreased, while their water-holding capacity increased. Interestingly, DX addition decreased the viscoelasticity of the FPI
gel but enhanced the viscoelasticity of the FPI
gel. The microstructural analysis demonstrated that the density of the aggregation network decreased in the FPI
gel after DX addition but increased in the FPI
gel. This was consistent with the changes observed in the dominant protein interaction forces in these gels after DX addition. Overall, these findings have the potential to guide ingredient selection for the tailored preparation of FPI gels. |
