Effect of Hydrothermal Treatment on the Structure and Functional Properties of Quinoa Protein Isolate

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hydrothermal treatment at different temperatures and times on the structure and functional properties of quinoa protein isolate (QPI). The structure of QPI was investigated by analyzing changes in the intrinsic fluorescence spectrum, ultra-violet (UV) spectrum, and Fourier transform infrared spectrum. The solubility, water/oil-holding capacity, emulsifying activity, and emulsion stability of QPI were studied, as were the particle size and the thermogravimetric properties of QPI. The results showed that the average particle size of QPI gradually increased with the increase in hydrothermal treatment time and temperature, and reached a maximum value of 121 °C for 30 min. The surface morphology also became rough and its thermal stability
