Abstract

To improve the physicochemical properties and the digestive characteristics of barley protein, the changes of physicochemical properties, in vitro digestive characteristics and internal microstructure of barley protein under the action of the ultrasonic wave were studied, using 600 W ultrasound to modify barley protein at different times.Results showed that the solubility, foaming, and emulsification of barley protein increased by 23.82%, 21.54%, and 6.95 m2/g, respectively when the ultrasonic time was 20 min.Then, short time (10, 20 min) ultrasonic treatment was conducive to the development of protein molecular structure and dissociation into small particles, reducing the average particle size and apparent viscosity.However, further extension of ultrasonic time induced protein reaggregation, increasing the average particle size and apparent viscosity of barley protein.It could be seen from the observation experiment of the microstructure of barley protein and the results of ultraviolet or fluorescence analysis that after 20 minutes of ultrasound, the structure of barley protein was more porous and smaller, promoting the tertiary structure of the protein molecule to extend and the polar regions within it to unfold, significantly improving the physical and chemical properties of barley protein.In addition, ultrasonic cavitation promoted the barley protein to expose more contact sites, which dramatically improved the in vitro digestibility of barley protein from the original 68.47% to 79.3%.In summary, the 600 W ultrasonic treatment for 20 min can obviously improve the physicochemical properties, and promote the digestion and absorption of barley protein in vitro, which is of great significance to enhance the quality characteristics of barley protein products.
