Abstract:

Thermal characteristics of egg white proteins (EWP) may differ in the presence of saccharides. Therefore, the influence of saccharides including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), pectin, sucrose and maltodextrin and heating time on physicochemical characteristics of EWP as a whole were studied. Investigation of Heat Coagulation Time (HCT), solubility, turbidity and protein secondary structure of heat-treated EWP solutions, indicated the reasonable characteristics of heat-treated protein as affected by saccharides (especially maltodextrin). Heat stability of EWP was increased in the presence of either CMC, pectin, sucrose or maltodextrin, as shown by a decrement in turbidity and an increase in solubility and HCT. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis was also utilized to observe the EWP’s secondary structure in the presence of saccharides before and after heat treatment. Analyses manifested the enhanced heat stability of proteins in the presence of saccharides by indicating fewer changes in egg white’s physicochemical properties.

thermal aggregation of hen egg white lysozyme: effect of polyamines

protein aggregation is a serious problem for both biotechnology and cell biology. diseases such as prion misfolding, alzheimer’s, and other amyloidosis are phenomena for which protein aggregation in our living cells is of considerable relevance. human lysozyme has been shown to form amyloid fibrils in individuals suffering from nonneuropathic systemic amyloidosis, all of which have point mutati...

Thermal Aggregation of Hen Egg White Proteins in the Presence of Salts

Hen egg white contains more than 40 kinds of proteins with concentrations reaching 100 mg/mL. Highly concentrated protein mixtures are common in the food industry, but the effects of a crowded environment containing salts on protein stability and aggregation have only been investigated using pure protein solutions. Here, we investigated the thermal aggregation of hen egg white protein (EWP) at ...

Egg White Proteins

Egg white as a protein system possesses much interest, both biochemical and technological. Study of the egg white proteins has been handicapped by the difficulty of preparation. The five variant system developed by Cohn and coworkers for the fractionation of plasma offers many advantages over the salting-out techniques (1). Low temperatures are employed to improve protein stability. Since low s...

Directional movement of cells as affected by aggregation and dispersal.

of cancer cells appears to depend primarily upon their reduced adhesiveness, which permits them to become detached individual units (3). The eventual penetration of surrounding tissue by the neoplastic cells, however, must depend in large measure upon their ability to move independently (4), as empha sized by Abercrombie and Ambrose (1). Questions arise as to whether the outward dissemination o...

Radiation-produced aggregation and inactivation in egg white lysozyme.

Chromatographically homogeneous egg white lysozyme has been subjected under reduced pressure to 0.67-m.e.v. y-rays. At 37% destruction of enzymic activity, three inactive aggregates and one partially active fraction have been isolated by salt precipitation and chromatographic procedures. The aggregates, upon reduction with 2-mercaptoethanol and reaction with iodoacetic acid, give derivatives wi...
