The invention discloses functional recombinant
soybean protein isolate
emulsion gel as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
soybean protein processing. The preparation method comprises the following steps: recombining three main components, namely soybean lipophilic
protein, glycinin and beta-conglycinin, in
soybean protein isolate (SPI) according to a certain compounding ratio, and carrying out combined modification on the recombined SPI by virtue of modification means such as ultrasonic treatment, heat treatment,
magnetic field and
enzyme crosslinking; the recombined SPI
emulsion is subjected to
micronization treatment by adopting high-pressure microjet homogenization treatment, and then the
emulsion is jointly induced to be gelatinized by utilizing acid and salt ions and transglutaminase, so that the preparation efficiency, the structural strength and the stability of the emulsion gel are improved; two polyphenols, namely
epigallocatechin gallate and
quercetin, are co-embedded in an interface and an
oil phase of the emulsion gel, so that the bioaccessibility and
antioxidant activity of the polyphenols are improved, and the emulsion gel is endowed with functionality. The prepared emulsion gel can be widely applied to
processing of
functional food.
