Abstract

ABSTRACTThis article provides a systematic study of the impact of different thermal treatments (62 ± 2°C, without and with relative humidity control, 79%) on soy protein in defatted soy flour and their aqueous dispersions. The effect of dispersing treatments (magnetic stirring, high-speed, and high-pressure homogenization) on dispersions also was assessed. Changes in protein solubility (water and 0.2 g/100 g potassium hydroxide solution), apparent-reactive lysine content, urease and trypsin inhibitor activities, protein denaturation, and Fourier transform infrared spectra were studied. Glycosylation, aggregation, and denaturation of storage and biologically active soy proteins were observed in different degrees, being mainly promoted by the control of relative humidity and the dispersibility of the sample.
