The invention belongs to the technical field of
food processing, and discloses a salted
egg white gel block and a preparation method thereof. The surface of the salted
egg white gel block is in a compact
net shape; the gel block salted
egg white comprises salted egg white and a
protein network formed by cross-linking glycosylated salted egg white
peptide through
glutamine transaminase; the glycosylated salted egg white
peptide is a glycosylated compound formed by carrying out
Maillard reaction on salted egg white
peptide and
lactose; the salted egg white gel block has the following texture characteristics: the
hardness of the salted egg white gel block is 6.68 N to 11.37 N, the
chewiness of the salted egg white gel block is 4.84 N to 8.00 N, and the elasticity of the salted egg white gel block is 89.68% to 100.76%. According to the method, macromolecular
protein is
cut into peptide fragments with proper molecular weight through
trypsin enzymolysis, and a triple modification technology of
lactose glycosylation modification and
glutamine transaminase cross-linking is combined, so that the content of alpha-
helix and beta-corner of the salted egg white peptide is reduced, the content of beta-fold is increased, amido bonds are promoted to be formed between proteins, and the salted egg white peptide is prepared. And a compact cross-linked
network structure is constructed. The
hardness, the elasticity and the
chewiness of the salted egg white gel block are obviously improved.
