Enzymolysis and glycosylation synergistic modified ovalbumin: functional and structural characteristics

The functional and structural properties of enzymatic hydrolysis and glycosylation synergistic modified ovalbumin (OVA) were investigated. The results showed that hydrolysis and glycosylation had synergetic effects on emulsifying and foaming properties, water and oil-binding capacity of OVA. And hydrolysis and glycosylation also could improve gel strength and thermal properties of OVA. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis implied that the formation of 20.1 kDa ~ 29 kDa Maillard reaction products (MRPs). UV absorption and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy analyses confirmed that enzymatic hydrolysis and glycosylation could change the secondary structure of OVA. Moreover, hydrolysis and glycosylation could produce OVA with compact and orderly network structure.
