The invention discloses a high-emulsification-activity
gluten protein based on
irradiation modification and a preparation method thereof in the field of wheat
protein processing, and the method comprises the following steps: dispersing
wheat gluten protein in deionized water, stirring to form a uniform suspension, adjusting the pH value, carrying out enzymolysis treatment on the suspension by using
alkaline protease, and
drying to obtain the high-emulsification-activity
gluten protein. Centrifugally
drying to obtain primary protein
powder; dissolving the protein primary
powder in an
irradiation solvent to obtain a protein dispersion liquid, and irradiating the protein dispersion liquid by using
cobalt-60 gamma rays as an
irradiation source in an intermittent manner; and taking the irradiated protein dispersion liquid, and performing centrifugal
drying to obtain the high-emulsification active
gluten protein. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out limited
hydrolysis on gluten protein by using
protease to generate a smaller
peptide fragment, so that the irradiation efficiency and the
emulsion stability are improved; by adopting an intermittent irradiation treatment mode,
protein aggregation caused by
heat effect can be reduced, the emulsifying effect is improved, and the stability and
adhesive force of an
adhesive can be improved when the
emulsion is applied to the
adhesive.
