Can the changed physicochemical properties and loose conformation of modified BLG increase the emulsifying capacity of WPI at acidic pH values?
Proof of a covalent interaction of BLG in WPI:
Figure 1: RP-HPLC: Retention time [min] of modified whey proteins (WPI + AITC) shifts to the right in dependence of the added AITC concentration [%]. This also indicates an increased hydrophobicity of the proteins.
AITC modification increases WPI hydrophobicity:
AITC modification results in a lower interfacial tension than unmodified
WPI at o/w interface :
Figure 3: Drop tensiometry: modified WPI resulted in a lower equilibrium interfacial tension at oil/water interfaces at pH 2 and 4. Additionally, the viscoelastic modulus was increased for modified WPI – revealing a more dense interfacial layer.
AITC modification reduces the emulsion creaming rate:
Binding to 3 amine groups
AITC modification reduces emulsion oil droplet size at pH 2:
Covalent modification of WPI with AITC can increase its hydrophobicity and surface activity.
Further results (FTIR, not shown) also confirmed are more loose conformation.
Emulsifying capacity of modified WPI was increased at acidic pH.
Underlying mechanisms are higher structural flexibility and hydrophobicity, A different alignment at o/w interfaces seems possible.
Covalent modification with secondary plant compounds is a promising approach to change protein functionality!

Figure 4: Static light scattering: The volume mean oil droplet diameter D [4,3] (µm) was significantly reduced at pH 2, but increased at pH 4. No effect of WPI modification on oil droplet diameter was visible at pH 6 and 7.
Figure 6: Analytical centrifugation LUMifuge: The accelerated creaming rate [um/s] at 328 * g was significantly lower for modified WPI at all pH-values tested.
Molar ratio of 1:500 (WPI:AITC): n = 5 binding sites.
