Proteins contribute to the flavor release and texture of foods besides their nutritional attributes. However, processing affects the protein structural conformation and, thus, their functional properties. White shrimp proteins (WSP) are well known for their nutritional and functional properties and limited attention has been paid to the flavor adsorption properties of WSP. This study investigated the effects of processing methods such as microwave drying, hot air drying, roasting, and boiling on the structural (secondary and tertiary) changes and physicochemical, functional, and flavor adsorption properties of white shrimp proteins (WSP). Structural changes of WSPs were evaluated by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and sulfhydryl bond content. Results revealed that the processing triggered structural changes that affected the functional properties of WSP. The highest surface hydrophobicity (H |
