摘要

Whipped foams (10%, w/v protein, pH 7.0) were prepared from commercially available samples of whey protein isolate (WPI) and egg white protein (EWP), and subsequently compared based on yield stress (τ₀), overrun and drainage stability. Adsorption rates and interfacial rheological measurements at a model air/water interface were quantified via pendant drop tensiometry to better understand foaming differences among the ingredients. The highest τ₀ and resistance to drainage were observed for standard EWP, followed by EWP with added 0.1%(w/w) sodium lauryl sulfate, and then WPI. Addition of 25%(w/w) sucrose increased τ₀ and drainage resistance of the EWP-based ingredients, whereas it decreased τ₀ of WPI foams and minimally affected their drainage rates. These differing sugar effects were reflected in the interfacial rheological measurements, as sucrose addition increased the dilatational elasticity for both EWP-based ingredients, while decreasing this parameter for WPI. Previously observed relationships between τ₀ and interfacial rheology did not hold across the protein types; however, these measurements did effectively differentiate foaming behaviors within EWP-based ingredients and within WPI. Interfacial data was also collected for purified β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) and ovalbumin, the primary proteins of WPI and EWP, respectively. The addition of 25%(w/w) sucrose increased the dilatational elasticity for adsorbed layers of β-lg, while minimally affecting the interfacial rheology of adsorbed ovalbumin, in contrast to the response of WPI and EWP ingredients. These experiments underscore the importance of utilizing the same materials for interfacial measurements as used for foaming experiments, if one is to properly infer interfacial information/mechanisms and relate this information to bulk foaming measurements. The effects of protein concentration and measurement time on interfacial rheology were also considered as they relate to bulk foam properties. This data should be of practical assistance to those designing aerated food products, as it has not been previously reported that sucrose addition improves the foaming characteristics of EWP-based ingredients while negatively affecting the foaming behavior of WPI, as these types of protein isolates are common to the food industry.
