PG - 105202 LID - S1350-4177(20)30942-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2020.105202 [doi] AB - The effect of ultrasound on the conformational and physicochemical properties of soy protein isolate hydrolysates (SPHs) was investigated. SPHs were prepared at hydrolysis times of 20 min, 60 min, and 180 min, then treated with ultrasound for 10 min, 20 min, and 30 min at a frequency of 20 kHz and output powers of 150 W and 450 W. The structural properties and antioxidant capacities of the aqueous layer of SPHs (ASPHs) after sonication were evaluated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), intrinsic fluorescence, DPPH radical scavenging activity assays, and microscopy observations. Results obtained showed that ultrasound treatment significantly disrupted the peptide aggregates formed during protein hydrolysis. The protein solubility was significantly increased after sonication (by up to 18.33%), as did the percentage of proteins with MW < 1 kDa in ASPHs. The antioxidant capacity of ASPHs also increased, as measured by DPPH assay. FTIR analysis of ASPHs indicated that the protein secondary structures were different, with an increase in beta-sheet and a decrease in alpha-helix and beta-turn. Furthermore, the changes in fluorescence spectra of ASPHs showed the transition of protein tertiary structure with a greater exposure of Trp residues in the side chains. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) observations of the morphological structure of ASPHs further confirmed the significant effect of sonication on disrupting peptide aggregates. In conclusion, ultrasound can be used as an efficient treatment to promote the solubility of protein hydrolysates. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
