ABSTRACT

Pea protein hydrolysate (PPH) is successfully conjugated with gum arabic (GA) through Maillard-driven chemistry. The effect of cross-linking conjugation on the structure, solubility, volatile substances, emulsification, and antioxidative activity of glyco-PPH is investigated, and found to improve all properties. The formation of glyco-PPH is confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Size exclusion chromatography-multi angle light scattering (SEC-MALS) unveils that the maximum molecular mass of glyco-PPH occurs after 1 day of conjugation and approximately 1.2 mole of gum arabic conjugates on one mole of PPH. Headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) reveals the odor changes of glycoprotein before and after cross-linking. We have also prepared oil-in-water emulsions using glyco-PPH which have enhanced physical stability against pH changes and chemical stability against lipid oxidation. The mechanism proposed involves Maillard-driven synthesis of the cross-linked PPH-GA conjugates which increase the surface hydrophilicity and steric hindrance of glyco-PPH. These findings could provide a rational foundation for tailoring the physicochemical properties and functionalities of plant-based protein, which are attractive for food and functional materials applications.
