ABSTRACT
Total starch granule-associated proteins (tGAP), including granule-channel (GCP) and granule-surface proteins (GSP), alter the physicochemical properties of starches. Quinoa starch (QS) acts as an effective emulsifier in Pickering emulsion. However, the correlation between the tGAP and the emulsifying capacity of QS at different scales remains unclear. Herein, GCP and tGAP were selectively removed from QS, namely QS-C and QS-A. Results indicated that the loss of tGAP increased the water permeability and hydrophilicity of the starch particles. Mesoscopically, removing tGAP decreased the diffusion rate and interfacial viscous modulus. Particularly, GSP had a more profound impact on the interfacial modulus than GCP. Microscopically and macroscopically, the loss of tGAP endowed QS with weakened emulsifying ability in terms of emulsions with larger droplet size and diminished rheological properties. Collectively, this work demonstrated that tGAP played an important role in the structural and interfacial properties of QS molecules and the stability of QS-stabilized emulsions.
