Abstract
The droplet size, zeta potential, interface protein adsorption rate, physical stability and microrheological properties of high-pressure-homogenization (HPH)-modified, dual-protein-based whey–soy (whey protein isolate—soy protein isolate) emulsions containing different oil phase concentrations (5%, 10% and 15%; w/w) were compared in this paper. The in vitro digestion characteristics and storage stability of the dual-protein emulsions before and after HPH treatment were also explored. The results show that with an increase in the oil phase concentration, the droplet size and interface protein adsorption rate of the untreated dual-protein emulsions increased, while the absolute value of the zeta potential decreased. When the oil phase concentration was 10% (w/w), HPH treatment could significantly reduce the droplet size of the dual-protein emulsion, increase the interface protein adsorption rate, and improve the elasticity of the emulsion. Compared with other oil phase concentrations, the physical stability of the dual-protein emulsion containing a 10% (w/w) oil phase concentration was the best, so the in vitro digestion characteristics and storage stability of the emulsions were studied. Compared with the control group, the droplet size of the HPH-modified dual-protein emulsion was significantly reduced after gastrointestinal digestion, and the in vitro digestibility and release of free amino groups both significantly increased. The storage stability results show that the HPH-modified dual-protein emulsion showed good stability under different storage methods, and the storage stability of the steam-sterilized dual-protein emulsion stored at room temperature was the best. These results provide a theoretical basis for the development of new nutritional and healthy dual-protein liquid products.
