Improvement of gel properties of dried egg white by modification with galactomannan through the Maillard reaction.

The effects of Maillard reaction on gel properties of dried egg white (DEW) with galactomannan (GM) were investigated. Maillard-reacted DEW (MDEW) was prepared by dry-heating a mixture with a weight ratio of 1:4 of GM to DEW at 60 degrees C and 65% relative humidity. The modification of amino groups and polymerization of DEW proteins dry-heated with GM proceeded with increasing the dry-heating time. The covalent attachment of GM to DEW was confirmed from SDS-PAGE analysis. Gel strength and water-holding capacity of MDEW gels were higher than those of DEW dry-heated without GM (control DEW) and reached maximum after 3 days of dry-heating. The appearance of MDEW gels became transparent with increasing the dry-heating time, but control DEW gels were still turbid. MDEW dry-heated for 3 days was almost soluble even after heating of its solution at 90 degrees C, whereas control DEW proteins precipitated. The modification of DEW with GM through the Maillard reaction was an effective method to make a firm and transparent gel from DEW at broader range of pH and NaCl concentration of the medium.

Correlation of the protein structure and gelling properties in dried egg white products.

The relationship between protein structure and aggregation, as well as heat-induced gelling properties, of seven dried egg white (DEW) products was investigated. Strong correlations were found between average molecular weight and hydrophobicity plus surface SH groups of DEW-soluble protein aggregate (SPA). This suggests that hydrophobic interactions and disulfide bond formation between protein molecules were involved in the aggregation. The average molecular weight of DEW products with alkaline pHs was relatively higher than those with neutral pHs and the same degree of protein unfolding, probably because of more disulfide bond formation between protein molecules. In addition, strong correlations were found between hydrophobicity, surface SH groups plus average molecular weight of DEW-SPA, and physical properties of the gels from DEW products. These data indicated that controlling the aggregation of DEW proteins in the dry state is crucial to controlling the gelling properties of DEW.
