Millet bran dietary fibres treated by heating, dual enzymolysis united with acrylic-grafting or hydroxypropylation: effects on the properties of heat-induced egg white protein gel by Chenlong He, Ling Dang, Chen Feng, Yan Li, Liangliang Zhang, Yajun Zheng, Nan Wang, Danhong Liu, Zimo Ye

“…IntroductionMillet bran is an abundant dietary fibre resource, but it is rarely used in Foods.MethodsTo enhance the functional properties and applications of foxtail millet bran dietary fibre (MBDF), MBDF modified by heating, cellulase and xylanase hydrolysis combined with acrylic-grafting (MBDF-HDEAG) or hydroxypropylation (MBDF-HDEH) were prepared, and the effects of these modified MBDFs on heat-induced egg white protein gel (H-EWPG) were studies.Results and discussionThe results showed that heating and enzymolysis united with acrylic-grafting or hydroxypropylation both enhanced the surface area, soluble fibre content, water-retention and expansion abilities of MBDF. The addition of unmodified MBDF, MBDF-HDEAG and MBDF-HDEH increased the β-sheet content of H-EWPG and made its microstructure denser and granular. …”
