The changes in dynamic elastic moduli of whey proteins [whey protein isolates, β-lactoglobulin (B-Lg), α-lactalbumin (A-La) and bovine serum albumin (BSA)] at various concentrations in the presence of 8 molldm 3 urea with time were measured at 25°C, because whey protein-urea systems set to gels automatically at room temperature without heating. From the time dependence behavior of elastic moduli for the proteins, the individual proteins were characterized as BSA having good, B-Lg intermediate and A-La poor urea-induced gelation. The disulfide bonds and hydrogen bonds played important roles in the formation the urea-induced gels. |
