Abstract

Objective:The effect of chemical modification on the structure of soybean protein isolate(SPI) was studied.Methods:SDS-PAGE and DSC were used to observe the dissociation of subunit proteins and the heat stability of acylated SPI respectively.Results:DSC profile showed that succinylation significantly improved the heat stability of SPI,while the acetylation had no significant change.SDS-PAGE profile showed that 7S globulin and most of the acid subunits of 11S globulin disappeared due to acylation.It was also indicated a cooperative process leading to a sudden unfolding of the dissociated subunits at a certain critical level of succinylation.Conclusion:The experiment results showing the changes in the structure properties of acylated SPI could help to elucidate the changes in its functional properties due to acylation.
