“…In fact, different saccharides have the similar characteristic, which could cross-link protein through Maillard reaction to reduce the allergenicity of protein, and could also improve the functional properties such as the solubility, the emulsifying abilities, and the foaming abilities [12,15], while, in the same conditions, the reactivity between different saccharides and protein may be different, such as reaction time, the degree of browning, and the free amino group contents [35,36]. In addition, Li et al [36] investigated the glycation of rice proteins with different reducing sugars (glucose, lactose, maltdextrin, and dextrin) in order to improve their functional properties, and found that glucose could provide the most improvement of the solubility and the emulsifying capacity.…”
