Abstract

ABSTRACTSolubility, electrophoresis, viscosity and emulsifying properties of heated solutions of yolk, plasma and granules were determined. Plasma and yolk were not affected when heated under 69°C. Above 69°C, protein solubility dropped sharply and apparent viscosity rose sharply because of aggregation of proteins. For granules, protein solubility and apparent viscosity were not modified up to 76°C. The constituents of granules were not denatured. Emulsifying activity of yolk and plasma decreased after heating at 72°C but remained steady for granules. Emulsion stabilization properties of yolk, plasma and granules were not influenced up to 76°C. Results suggested that intact granules withstood more severe heat treatments than egg yolk without lessening their emulsifying properties.
