Résumé
The influence of ultrasonic treatment (100-500 W, 30 min) on the molecular structures and emulsifying properties of Zanthoxylum seed protein (ZSP) was explored for the first time in this work. Research results indicated that the all ultrasonic treatments at different power levels decreased the particle size but increased the surface charge of ZSP. In addition, the ultrasonic treatments induced the structural unfolding of the ZAP, as indicated by the increase in α-helix, ultraviolet-visible absorbance, surface hydrophobicity and the amount of surface free sulfhydryl groups, as well as the decrease in β-sheet and intrinsic fluorescence intensity. As a result, the significantly (p < 0.05) increased emulsifying activity index (EAI) and emulsion stability index (ESI) of ZSP were observed after ultrasonic treatment. In addition, the emulsion prepared by ultrasonically treated ZSP exhibited the smaller and more uniform droplets with significantly improved stability against environmental stress (temperature, salt concentration, pH), creaming and oxidation due to the increased ratio of interfacially adsorbed ZSP. Furthermore, ultrasonic treatment at 400 W was found to be the optimum condition for modification. These findings will provide a theoretical foundation for the utilization of ultrasound in enhancing the emulsifying properties of ZSP and promoting its application in the field of food processing.
