Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of protein modification, specifically relating to a method and product for modifying soy protein isolate and its application in ice cream. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional ice cream is a frozen beverage made primarily from drinking water, milk, milk powder, cream, and sugar, with the addition of appropriate food additives through various processes. As a frozen dairy product, ice cream is characterized by its rich nutrition, smooth texture, intense flavor, and easy digestibility. However, as a high-sugar, high-fat, and high-energy food, excessive consumption can lead to excessive intake of fats and sugars, increasing the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and other related illnesses, posing a serious threat to consumers' health. Currently, modern diets are increasingly trending towards low-sugar, low-fat, and healthier options. To meet consumer demands, there is an urgent need to develop health-oriented and multi-functional ice creams.

[0003] Plant-based ice cream has a lower calorie content than dairy-based ice cream, making it suitable for consumers with lactose intolerance. Its nutritional and health benefits meet people's needs. Soy protein is a rich and high-quality plant protein with good nutritional value and functional properties. Its protein content is about 40%, and its essential amino acid composition is close to that of animal protein. Its digestibility is close to or exceeds that of animal protein, and its quality is significantly superior to other plant proteins.

[0004] However, many functional properties of soy protein, such as solubility, hydration, emulsification, foaming, gelling, and aggregation, still differ significantly from those of milk protein. When applied to ice cream systems, it suffers from drawbacks such as excessive viscosity and hardness, low overrun, and a beany taste. Summary of the Invention

[0065] The determination results of Examples 1-5 are shown in Table 1.

[0066] Table 1

[0067]

[0068] As can be seen from Table 1, in the process of modifying the soybean protein isolate into ice cream with high addition of plant protein, when only the field strength of the pulse electric field is changed, the melting rate and the overrun of the ice cream are little affected in the further preferred range of 25-35 KV / cm, the overrun is greatly reduced when the field strength of the pulse electric field is lower than the further preferred 10 KV / cm, and the melting rate is greatly improved when the field strength of the pulse electric field is higher than the further preferred 50 KV / cm.

[0069] Wherein, below the further preferred 10KV / cm field strength, the pulse electric field energy is weakened, the structural modification degree of soybean protein isolate is small, the protein subunit dissociation is not sufficient, leading to lower subsequent enzymolysis degree, thus leading to lower ice cream expansion rate; and for the 50KV / cm field strength higher than the preferred range, the pulse electric field energy is larger, the structural damage to the soybean protein isolate is obvious, the modification degree is too large, leading to the inability to maintain the interface strength of the fat ball in the ice cream, leading to weaker ice cream stability and higher melting rate.

[0070] That is, for the process of modifying soybean protein isolate into high-adding plant protein in ice cream by combining pulse electric field and complex enzyme enzymolysis, there is a further preferred pulse electric field strength range.

The enzyme was inactivated by water bath at 90℃ for 30 seconds, and freeze-drying was performed in a system at-40 to-10℃ and a vacuum degree of 13 to 40 Pa.

[0074] (2) The coconut oil was melted in an oven at 60℃, then mixed with modified soybean protein isolate 4%, coconut oil 12%, mono and di fatty acid glyceride 0.15%, diacetyl tartaric acid mono and diglyceride 0.07%, sucrose ester 0.18%, sucrose 8%, glucose syrup 4%, fructose syrup 2%, xanthan gum 0.5%, carrageenan 0.1%, carboxymethyl cellulose 0.1%, and essence 0.2% in proportion, heated at 80℃, stirred and sterilized for 20 min.

[0092] The determination results of Examples 6-10 are shown in Table 2.

[0093] Table 2

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] As can be seen from Table 2, in the process of modifying soybean protein isolate into high-amount plant protein for ice cream, when only the pulse electric field time is changed, the melting rate and overrun of the ice cream are little affected in the further preferred range of 1000-2000 μs, while in the range of the pulse electric field strength protection of the present application, the overrun is greatly reduced when the pulse time is lower than the further preferred 1000 μs, and the melting rate is greatly increased when the pulse time is higher than the further preferred 2000 μs.

[0097] When the pulse time is lower than the further preferred 1000 μs, the pulse electric field energy is weakened, the modification degree of the structure of the soybean protein isolate is small, and the overrun is low. When the pulse time is higher than the preferred range of 2000 μs, the pulse electric field energy is large, the structure of the soybean protein isolate is obviously destroyed, the modification degree is too large, the interface strength of the fat globules in the ice cream cannot be maintained, the fat network structure of the ice cream is weak, and the melting rate is increased.

[0098] That is, in the process of modifying soybean protein isolate into high-amount plant protein for ice cream by using pulse electric field and complex enzyme hydrolysis, there is a further preferred range of pulse electric field time.

[0099] Comparative Example 1

[0110]

[0111]

[0112] As can be seen from Table 3, in Example 1, the overrun of the ice cream was 60.67 and the melt rate was 52.52% under the combined action of pulsed electric field and complex enzyme hydrolysis, which was higher than the overrun of 70.47% produced by the pulsed electric field treatment alone in Comparative Example 1, because the pulsed electric field did not change the molecular weight of the protein. In Comparative Example 2, without the action of pulsed electric field, the overrun was still low, because the pulsed electric field and complex enzyme hydrolysis had a synergistic effect.

[0113] In Comparative Example 3, the protein was first subjected to complex enzyme hydrolysis and then treated with pulsed electric field, which had a poorer effect than Comparative Example 1, because the pulsed electric field changed the protein structure so that the complex enzyme hydrolysis reached the best effect, and the enzyme hydrolysis was insufficient when the protein treated with pulsed electric field was directly subjected to enzyme hydrolysis, so the effect was smaller.

[0132]

[0133]

[0134] As can be seen from Table 4, in Example 1, the overrun of the ice cream was 85.67 and the melt rate was 52.52% under the combined action of pulsed electric field and complex enzyme. In Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 6, the soybean protein isolate was modified under too low field strength and too low pulse time, and the overruns were low because the pulsed electric field energy was low and the modification was insufficient. In Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 7, the field strength and pulse time of the pulsed electric field were too high, and the pulsed electric field energy was also high, resulting in over-modification of the soybean protein isolate and severe damage to the structure, which could not maintain the interfacial strength, and thus the melt rate was poor.

[0195] As can be seen from Table 7, in the process of modifying soybean protein isolate into high- added plant protein in ice cream, when only the enzyme hydrolysis time is changed, the melting rate and overrun of the ice cream are little affected in the further preferred range of 25-35℃, while in the enzyme hydrolysis time protection range of the present application, the enzyme hydrolysis is not complete when the temperature is lower than the further preferred 15℃, the overrun is greatly reduced, and the enzyme hydrolysis is excessive when the temperature is higher than the further preferred 55℃, leading to a significant increase in the melting rate.

[0212] The results of Examples 20 and Comparative Examples 8 to 11 are shown in Table 8.

[0213] Table 8

[0214]

[0215]

[0216] As can be seen from Table 8, in Example 20, the expansion rate of the ice cream was 84.99% and the melting rate was 51.07% when the pulse electric field and the compound enzyme enzymolysis were combined. In Comparative Example 8 and Comparative Example 9, the soybean protein isolate was modified at too high a temperature and too low a temperature, respectively, and the expansion rates were low because the enzyme was inactivated at too high a temperature and the enzyme activity was too low at too low a temperature, so that the enzymolysis reaction could not occur. In Comparative Example 10, the enzymolysis time was too short, the enzymolysis was not complete, and the expansion rate was low. In Comparative Example 11, the enzymolysis time was too long, and the melting rate was greatly increased due to excessive enzymolysis.

[0217] From Tables 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7, it can be seen that in the process of modifying SPI into plant protein for high addition in ice cream by combining pulsed electric field and complex enzyme hydrolysis, there are further preferred ranges of the field strength and pulse time of pulsed electric field, the proportion of papain in complex protease and the hydrolysis temperature and time of complex protease. When the field strength or pulse time of pulsed electric field is within the protection range of the present patent but exceeds the further preferred range, the protein structure is greatly damaged, resulting in that part of the protein cannot be modified into plant protein suitable for addition in ice cream, and thus the melting rate of ice cream is poor. When the field strength or pulse time of pulsed electric field is within the protection range of the present patent but is lower than the further preferred range, the generated capacity is weak, and the protein cannot be sufficiently modified, thus the overrun rate is poor. When the proportion of papain in complex protease exceeds the preferred range, the protein is excessively hydrolyzed, resulting in poor overrun rate of ice cream. When the proportion of papain in complex protease is lower than the preferred range, the protein is not sufficiently hydrolyzed, and thus the properties of ice cream are not sufficiently improved. When the hydrolysis temperature is within the protection range of the present patent but is lower than the further preferred range, the enzyme activity of complex protease is reduced, resulting in insufficient protein hydrolysis. Meanwhile, when the hydrolysis temperature is within the protection range of the present patent but exceeds the further preferred range, part of the complex protease is inactivated at high temperature, resulting in less improvement in the properties of ice cream. When the hydrolysis time is within the protection range of the present patent but exceeds the further preferred range, the hydrolysis is excessive, and the protein structure cannot maintain the stability of interfacial film, resulting in increased melting rate of ice cream. When the hydrolysis time is within the protection range of the present patent but is lower than the further preferred range, the hydrolysis is insufficient, the modification degree is reduced, and the properties of ice cream are less improved.

[0218] Compared with dairy ice cream, plant ice cream has less heat content, is suitable for consumers with lactose intolerance, and meets the needs of people for nutrition and health. Soy protein is a plant protein with rich resources and excellent quality, has good nutritional value and functional properties, and has a protein content of about 40%, an essential amino acid composition close to that of animal protein, a digestion rate close to or exceeding that of animal protein, and a quality significantly better than that of other plant proteins. However, the functional properties of soy protein such as solubility, hydration, emulsification, foaming, gelation and aggregation are still quite different from those of milk protein. In application in an ice cream system, there are defects such as too large viscosity and hardness, low overrun rate, and presence of beany odor. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a method for modifying soy protein and applying it in an ice cream system.

[0219] The application first proposes to use the pulse electric field and the combined enzyme hydrolysis to modify the soybean protein isolate into a modified protein which can completely replace the milk protein in ice cream, avoiding the defects of the traditional method and overcoming the limitations of single field; the pulse electric field has an influence on the insoluble protein structure in the soybean protein isolate, modifying it into soluble protein, and changing the structure of the protein so that the subunit is dissociated, and then the combined enzyme hydrolysis has an influence on the protein function and structural properties, reducing the molecular weight of the protein and improving the physical and chemical properties of the protein, so as to improve its addition in ice cream.

[0220] Outside the field strength and pulse time protection range of the pulse electric field in the application, too high field strength and pulse time will cause the structure of the soybean protein isolate to be excessively damaged, so that the protein is excessively denatured, and too low field strength and pulse time will cause the modification degree of the soybean protein isolate to be small, thereby reducing the subsequent modification degree and the properties of the addition in ice cream; outside the enzyme hydrolysis temperature and enzyme hydrolysis time protection range of the application, too high enzyme hydrolysis temperature and enzyme hydrolysis time will cause excessive enzyme hydrolysis, the molecular weight of the protein is too small, and the interface film strength cannot be maintained, so that the stability of the ice cream is reduced and the melting rate is improved. Too low enzyme hydrolysis temperature and enzyme hydrolysis time will cause insufficient enzyme hydrolysis, the molecular weight of the protein is still large, the interface film strength is too large, a sufficient fat network strength cannot be formed, and the overrun of the ice cream is low.

[0221] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the application and not to limit it, although the application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the application, and they should be covered in the scope of the application.
