Abstract
The interaction of polysaccharides–protein with varied origins and structures provides opportunities for tailoring the physicochemical qualities of food protein-based materials. This work examined the feasibility of ultrasound-modified interaction between kidney bean dietary fiber (KSDF) and duck myofibrillar proteins (MP) to improve the physicochemical properties of the gel matrices. Accordingly, gel strength, water holding capacity, solubility, chemical interaction, secondary structure, and network structure of MP were determined. The addition of KSDF combined with the ultrasound treatment contributed to the improved water retention capability, G’ values, and the reduced particle size of protein molecules, corresponding with the formation of dense pore-like structures. The results demonstrated that 1% KSDF and ultrasonication at 400 W significantly enhanced gel strength by up to 109.58% and the solubility increased by 213.42%. The proportion of α-helices of MP gels treated with 1% KSDF and ultrasonication at 400 W was significantly increased. The sonication-mediated KSDF–MP interaction significantly improved hydrophobic interactions of the proteins, thus explaining the denser network structure of the MP gels incorporated KSDF with ultrasound treatments. These results demonstrated the role of ultrasonication treatments in modifying KSDF–protein interaction to improve the gel and structural properties of the MP gels.
