Encapsulation of pea protein in an alginate matrix by cold set gelation method and use of the capsules in fruit juices

2020-09-01
Plant-based proteins gained importance in recent years due to the increase in the awareness of healthy diet and in the consumption of plant-based foods. However, some features of plant-based proteins like the undesirable odor and flavor affect the sensorial properties of protein containing foods. Therefore, encapsulation of these proteins could be a good strategy to tackle with this problem. The objective of this study was to design microcapsules (beads) consisting of pea protein by using sodium alginate and to investigate the effect of different alginate concentrations (1.0, 1.5, and 2.0%) on the protein content, encapsulation efficiency, particle size, bead stability, and the morphology of the capsules and then add them to different fruit juices (pomegranate and melon) and examine the release behavior from the capsules. Rheological behavior of the juices including pectin were also investigated. TD- nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry analysis through T(2)relaxation times was conducted on the capsules to observe the changes in the beads. In conclusion, alginate was found to be a suitable encapsulation coating for pea protein. Beads containing 1% alginate concentration was found to be the most effective with respect to protein content and bead stability. Practical Application This study aims to design and characterize pea protein containing microcapsules capsules and their utilization in fruit juices. The study itself focused on a specific application on the fruit juices.

Narin, Ceren; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
Plant based proteins gained importance in recent years due to the increase in the awareness of healthy diet and the increase in the consumption of plant-based foods. However, some features of plant-based proteins like the undesirable odor and flavor affect the sensorial properties of food they are added in. Therefore, encapsulation of these proteins could be a good strategy to tackle with this problem. It is also important to design stable microcapsules which would remain intact in the food they are used. I...
Using multi-slice-multi-echo images with NMR relaxometry to assess water and fat distribution in coated chicken nuggets
Öztop, Halil Mecit; TAKHAR, Pawan; MCCARTHY, Kathryn L.; MCCARTHY, Michael J. (Elsevier BV, 2014-03-01)
Characterizing water and fat distributions in fried foods is of major importance in terms of taste and nutrition. The objective of this study was to introduce a new technique to quantify water and fat distributions of chicken nuggets coated with methylcellulose (MC) through the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and NMR relaxometry. Multi-slice-multi-echo (MSME-Spin Echo based) images were performed on a 1.03 T spectrometer for the whole chicken nuggets to obtain relaxation time distribution of differe...
Different sized wheat bran fibers as fat mimetic in biscuits: its effects on dough rheology and biscuit quality
ERINC, Hakan; Mert, Behiç; Tekin, Aziz (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-10-01)
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of various particle sized and different amount of plant fibers as fat mimetic for biscuit formulations instead of biscuit fat. The fibers with different particle sizes were obtained from wheat bran and used instead of fat in biscuit formulations. The texture, rheology and quality analyses of low-fat biscuit (30, 20 and 10% fat) were performed and compared with those of the full-fat control sample (40% fat). Results showed that wheat bran fiber with bigger ...
EFFECTS OF MICROFLUIDIZED DIETARY FIBERS ON STABILITY PROPERTIES OF EMULSIONS
Ketenoglu, Onur; Mert, Behiç; Tekin, Aziz (Wiley, 2014-08-01)
This study aims to determine the stability improving effects of size-reduced dietary fibers in food emulsions. Orange zest fiber and corn fiber were microfluidized under high pressure (up to 15,000 psi). Model emulsions were prepared by adding 1, 2 and 3% of the fibers into the mixture of 3% whey protein isolate and 20 and 50% oil. These mixtures were homogenized through both colloid mill and microfluidizer to form model emulsions. Rheological properties such as flow and oscillation were measured with frequ...
Investigation of lipid-derived formation of decadien-1-amine, 2-pentylpyridine, and acrylamide in potato chips fried in repeatedly used sunflower oil
Karademir, Yesim; GÖKMEN, VURAL; Öztop, Halil Mecit (Elsevier BV, 2019-07-01)
This study aimed to investigate lipid derived formations of decadien-1-amine, 2-pentylpyridine, and acrylamide in potato chips during frying. 2,4-Decadienal, a lipid derived carbonyl, was monitored in repeatedly used sunflower oil at different thermoxidation levels (0, 6, 12, 18, 24 h at 180 degrees C), and in potato chips prepared in. Formations of decadien-1-amine and 2-pentylpyridine were shown for the first time in potato chips. Frying oil had the highest concentration of 2,4-decadienal after thermal ox...
