Abstract
Bivalent or trivalent metal salts can enhance the oil output and sandiness of salted eggs. We added CaCl2 to the salting solution to improve the quality of rapidly salted separated egg yolk and investigated its effect on rheological, microstructure, and protein structure. According to the findings, adding CaCl2 to the salting solution can promote the precipitation of egg yolk water, increase its viscosity, induce protein aggregation, and increase the denaturation temperature of the protein. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) revealed that the inner boundary of egg yolk salted with CaCl2 was clearer and that the number and size of salted egg yolk lipoprotein aggregates were larger than those of egg yolk salted without CaCl2. Analysis using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) demonstrated that CaCl2 caused the interconversion of the secondary-level structure. CaCl2 can have an impact on the microenvironment of amino acid residues, according to the results of 3D fluorescence and UV absorption spectra. Therefore, adding CaCl2 can accelerate the loss of water and change the structure of lipoprotein in egg yolk, which improves the sandiness and oil yield of salted separated egg yolk.
