Coconut endosperm residue is a rich dietary fiber resource; however, its hydration properties are poor. To enhance the functionality and applications of coconut endosperm residue dietary fiber (CERDF) in the food industry, ultrasound, cellulase, and hemicellulase hydrolysis combined with carboxymethylation or phosphate crosslinking have been used. The impact of the modified CERDFs on egg white protein gel (EWPG) was also studied. Compared to unmodified CERDF, CERDF modified by ultrasound and dual enzymatic hydrolysis combined with carboxymethylation (CERDF-UDEC) or phosphate-crosslinking (CERDF-UDEPC) exhibited a larger surface area and improved water retention and expansion abilities ( < 0.05). Addition of CERDF, CERDF-UDEC, and CERDF-UDEPC increased the random coil content of EWPG and rendered its microstructure more granular. CERDF-UDEC and CERDF-UDEPC improved EWPG properties more effectively than unmodified CERDF. These enhancements included increased water retention, pH, hardness (from 109.87 to 222.38 g), chewiness (from 78.07 to 172.13 g), and gumminess (from 85.12 to 181.82), and a reduction in its freeze-thaw dehydration rate (from 33.66% to 16.26%) and transparency ( < 0.05). Adding CERDF and CERDF-UDEC (3-5 g/100 g) enhanced the gastric stability and intestinal digestibility of EWPG. Thus, CERDF modified through ultrasound and dual enzymolysis combined with carboxymethylation or crosslinking improved the gel properties of EWPG. However, further research is needed to clarify the mechanisms behind these modifications and evaluate their economic feasibility.
椰子胚乳残渣是一种丰富的膳食纤维资源;然而,其水化特性较差。为提高椰子胚乳残渣膳食纤维(CERDF)在食品工业中的功能和应用,已采用超声、纤维素酶和半纤维素酶水解结合羧甲基化或磷酸交联的方法。还研究了改性CERDFs对蛋清蛋白凝胶(EWPG)的影响。与未改性的CERDF相比,经超声和双酶水解结合羧甲基化(CERDF-UDEC)或磷酸交联(CERDF-UDEPC)改性的CERDF表现出更大的表面积以及改善的保水和膨胀能力(P<0.05)。添加CERDF、CERDF-UDEC和CERDF-UDEPC增加了EWPG的无规卷曲含量,并使其微观结构更呈颗粒状。CERDF-UDEC和CERDF-UDEPC比未改性的CERDF更有效地改善了EWPG的特性。这些改善包括保水性增加、pH值升高、硬度增加(从109.87克增加到222.38克)、咀嚼性增加(从78.07克增加到172.13克)和胶粘性增加(从85.12增加到181.82),以及其冻融脱水率降低(从33.66%降低到16.26%)和透明度降低(P<0.05)。添加CERDF和CERDF-UDEC(3-5克/100克)提高了EWPG的胃稳定性和肠道消化率。因此,通过超声和双酶解结合羧甲基化或交联改性的CERDF改善了EWPG的凝胶特性。然而,需要进一步研究以阐明这些改性背后的机制并评估其经济可行性。
