Summary
Protein modification by vibration millingThe influence of physical modification (vibration milling or mechanolysis) on some of the molecular and physico-chemical properties of faba bean-and soy proteins as well as of dried egg white proteins was investigated. The results of a short treatment (till 5 min) show a possible molecule unfolding with slightly improved foaming properties for egg-and soy proteins. An increase in the duration of milling to 30 h leads to two parallel processes of dissociation and association. Depending on the kind and degree of association of the plant proteins it is possible to define conditions necessary to produce samples with different water binding capacity and swelling properties. The foaming of plant proteins can also be improved within 30 h treatment. Such cffects were not observed for egg white proteins under the used conditions due to strong denaturation. It is assumed that the present chemically changed lipid components may also contribute to the protein association.
