高压均质对油脂预乳化大豆拉丝蛋白素食香肠质构特性的影响

    Effects of pre-emulsification of oil treated by high pressure homogenization on the texture properties of textured fibril soy protein vegetarian sausages

    • 摘要: 为了将预乳化工艺更好应用于大豆拉丝蛋白(Textured Fibril Soy Protein,TFSP)素食香肠的加工,该研究通过采用不同的蛋白乳化剂和调控均质条件,探究预乳化油脂对TFSP素食香肠流变特性、质构和微观结构的影响。结果发现随着均质压力从0增大到30 MPa,大豆分离蛋白(Soybean Protein Isolate,SPI)乳液和酪蛋白酸钠(Sodium Caseinate,SC)乳液的表观黏度都逐渐增大,SPI乳液粒径为24.80~0.39 μm,SC乳液粒径为12.37~0.12 μm。对TFSP素肉糜进行温度扫描和频率扫描结果发现,所有的素肉糜在蒸煮后都形成了具有黏弹性的乳液凝胶,并且预乳液的均质压力越大,素肉糜的弹性模量越大。沃-布剪切测试和质构特性(Texture Profile Analysis,TPA)测试发现,TFSP素食香肠的剪切力和TPA质构特性都随着预乳液均质压力的增大而增大。采用激光共聚焦显微镜观察分析了不同预乳液和TFSP素食香肠的微观结构,当预乳化的均质压力为0~20 MPa时,SC乳液制备的TFSP素食香肠在蒸煮后发生了明显的乳液滴聚结;然而SPI乳液制备的TFSP素食香肠在蒸煮后表现出对抗乳液滴聚结的能力强。因此,采用SPI对植物油脂进行预乳化过程中,均质压力为20 MPa时,可以有效提升TFSP素食香肠的切片性和质构特性,研究结果为油脂预乳化工艺在素食产品中的开发和应用提供参考。

       

      Abstract: Plant-based meat products have been the popular food at present, in order to prevent processed meat from cardiovascular disease and cancer today. The pre-emulsification technique can often be used to prepare an oil-in-water emulsion, before introducing the fat/oil into a meat product. Compared with the direct oil addition, the ability to bind water and oil can allow for the better dispersion of oil into the meat batter. Recently, several studies have also reported that the particle size of the pre-emulsified oil can influence the textural properties and gel formation of the sausage. However, few studies have reported the effects of droplet size and emulsifier in the pre-emulsion on the rheological and textural properties of vegetarian sausage. Therefore, the aim of this work was to apply the pre-emulsification for the processing of vegetarian sausages with Textured Fibril Soy Protein (TFSP). An investigation was made to clarify the effects of oils pre-emulsified on the rheological properties, texture, and microstructure of TFSP vegetarian sausages using different protein emulsifiers and homogenization conditions. The results show that the apparent viscosity of both Soybean Protein Isolate (SPI) and Sodium Caseinate (SC) emulsions increased gradually, as the pressure homogenization increased from 0 to 30 MPa. The particle size d3,2 of SPI emulsions ranged from 24.80 to 0.39 μm, and the particle size d3,2 of SC emulsions ranged from 12.37 to 0.12 μm. The temperature and frequency sweep of the TFSP vegetarian meat batter demonstrated all the vegetarian meat batters formed an emulsion gel with viscoelasticity after cooking. The higher the homogenization pressure of the pre-emulsion was, the higher the storage modulus (G′) of the vegetarian meat batter was. In the Warner-Bratzler (WB) shear test and texture properties (Texture Profile Analysis, TPA), it was found that the breaking force and TPA (Hardness, Springiness, Cohesiveness, Chewiness) of TFSP vegetarian sausages increased with the decrease of the particle size d3,2 of the pre-emulsion. The microstructures of different emulsions and TFSP vegetarian sausages were characterized by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM). It was found that the coalescence of emulsion droplets occurred in the TFSP vegetarian sausages after cooking, when the SC emulsions were prepared at the pressure of 0-20 MPa. However, the TFSP vegetarian sausages prepared by the SPI emulsions showed a strong ability to resist the coalescence of emulsion droplets after cooking. Therefore, the shear force and textural properties of TFSP vegetarian sausage can be effectively improved, when the pressure was more than 20 MPa during the pre-emulsification of plant oils using the SPI. The finding can provide a strong reference for the development and application of the oil pre-emulsification process in vegetarian products.
