The invention belongs to the technical field of
processing and production of emulsified meat products, and particularly relates to
pea protein isolate composite
emulsion, a preparation method thereof and application of the
pea protein isolate composite
emulsion in emulsified meat balls. The
pea protein isolate is modified by adopting
arginine modification and
quercetin grafting technologies to prepare a high-performance
plant protein-based emulsifier, and the high-performance
plant protein-based emulsifier is mixed with myofibrillar
protein to prepare the composite
emulsion. The emulsion partially replaces
animal fat in traditional emulsified meat balls, the content of
saturated fatty acid in the product is remarkably reduced, meanwhile, generation of
grease oxidation products is effectively inhibited, and the
oxidation stability of the product in the storage period is prolonged. Besides, the emulsified meat balls added with the composite emulsion are excellent in taste, juiciness,
flavor and the like, have better texture characteristics and
oxidation resistance, meet the requirements of modern consumers for low-fat
healthy diet and have high market application value.
