Muscle protein based functional foods have been attracted great interests in novel food designing. Herein, myofibrillar protein (MP)-chitosan (CH) electrostatic complexes were employed to fabricate mixed-layer emulsions to protect and deliver astaxanthin. The MP/CH complex fabricated mixed-layer emulsions displayed higher stability against pH and temperature changes, exhibiting smaller droplet and homogenous distributions. After UV-light irradiation for 8 h, the mixed-layer emulsions had higher astaxanthin retention (69.11 %, 1:1 group). During storage, a lower degree of lipid oxidation, protein oxidation and higher astaxanthin retention were obtained, indicating desirable protections of mixed-layer emulsions. The vitro digestion reveled the mixed-layer emulsions could decrease the release of free fatty acids. Meanwhile, the bioaccessibility of astaxanthin was higher (30.43 %, 2:1 group) than monolayer emulsion. In all, the MP/CH prepared mixed-layer emulsions could protect and deliver fat-soluble bioactive compounds, and contributed to develop muscle protein based functional foods to meet the needs of slow and controlled release.
基于肌肉蛋白的功能性食品在新型食品设计中引起了极大的兴趣。本文采用肌原纤维蛋白(MP)-壳聚糖(CH)静电复合物制备混合层乳液,以保护和传递虾青素。制备的 MP/CH 复合混合层乳液在 pH 和温度变化下表现出更高的稳定性,具有更小的粒径和更均匀的分布。经 UV 光照 8 h 后,混合层乳液对虾青素的保留率更高(69.11%,1:1 组)。在储存过程中,混合层乳液的脂质氧化程度较低、蛋白质氧化程度较低、虾青素保留率较高,表明混合层乳液具有良好的保护作用。体外消化实验表明,混合层乳液可以减少游离脂肪酸的释放。同时,虾青素的生物利用度更高(30.43%,2:1 组)。总之,MP/CH 制备的混合层乳液可以保护和传递脂溶性生物活性化合物,有助于开发基于肌肉蛋白的功能性食品,以满足缓慢和控制释放的需求。
