Ultrasound pretreatment has significant effects on the structure and functional properties of soy protein isolate (SPI) nanofibrils. Low amplitude ultrasound improves solubility and emulsifying activity, while high amplitude ultrasound enhances foaming capacity. Ultrasound pretreatment also improves antioxidant activity of nanofibrils. This study expands the application of food-grade protein nanofibrils in the food industry.
Nanofibrils, an effective method to modulate the functional properties of proteins, can be promoted by ultrasound pretreatment. This study investigated the effect of ultrasound pretreatment on the structure, functional property, antioxidant activity and digestibility of soy protein isolate (SPI) nanofibrils. The results showed that high amplitude ultrasound had a significant effect on structure of SPI nanofibrils. SPI nanofibrils pretreated by 80% amplitude ultrasound showed a blueshift of the amide II band in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), resulted in more tryptophan residues being buried and increased the crystallinity. Low amplitude ultrasound (20%) pretreatment significantly improved the solubility, emulsifying activity index (EAI) and water absorption capacity (WAC) of SPI nanofibrils, but 80% amplitude ultrasound pretreatment of SPI nanofibrils reduced emulsifying stability index (ESI). High amplitude ultrasound (60% and 80%) pretreatment of SPI nanofibrils improved the foaming capacity and foaming stability and decreased denaturation temperature. DPPH radical scavenging activity of SPI nanofibrils were significantly improved by ultrasound pretreatment. 20% amplitude ultrasound pretreatment improved DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power of SPI nanofibrils. The digestion rate of 80% amplitude ultrasound-pretreated nanofibrils were consistently higher, and SPI nanofibrils pretreated by ultrasound were more fragmented and shorter after simulating gastrointestinal digestion. This study would expand the application of food-grade protein nanofibrils in the food industry.
