Abstract

The gel, rheological and structural properties of fish gelatin (FG) were investigated through phosphorylation with different ratios of sodium pyrophosphate (TSPP) (FG:TSPP = 40:0, 40:1, 40:2, 40:4, and 40:6). It showed that phosphorylation modification significantly increased gel strength, textural properties, emulsification, and emulsification stability of FG. The surface hydrophobicity and intrinsic fluorescence of phosphorylated FG were also significantly increased. Rheological results revealed that the apparent viscosity, melt/gel points, and gel strength of FG were increased by phosphorylation with TSPP, but shortened the gelation time. Low field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) showed that phosphorylation reduced mobility of water in FG. FTIR results indicated that phosphorylation increased the β-sheet/β-turn contents but reduced the random coil contents. This study might provide a new guideline for the exploration of TSPP phosphorylation increased the functional properties of FG.
