Research Abstract

Sodium caprate-induced gelation was investigated for water-soluble protein concentrate(WSPC) from fish with or without ovalbumin(OVA). Prior to the gel formation, effects of sodium oleate on the viscoelasticity of water-soluble protein(WSP) suspension were investigated. It was indicated that hydrogen bondings facilitated increase in dynamic modulus. Rheological measurements using WSPC indicated that although WSPC alone could not form a gel by the addition of sodium caprate, it formed a gel by the mixing with OVA even at room temperature. The WSPC-OVA mixed gel containing sodium caprate had fine microstructure which was comparable to that of fatty acid-induced OVA gel. Aggregation bands due to intermolecular β-sheet with concomitant formation of sodium caprate-induced OVA gel appeared on FT-IR analysis. However, secondary structural changes of the mixed gel from WSPC and OVA was not clear, since remarkable aggregation band in the mixed protein was not found. Further study is necessary to clarify the mechanism for formation of the mixed gel.
