ABSTRACT
Amaranth 11S globulins (Ah11Sn) are an excellent source of essential amino acids; however, there have been no investigations on the characterization of their techno-functional properties at different pH conditions and NaCl concentrations, which are necessary for food formulations. In this work, we report a new two-step purification method for native Ah11Sn with purity levels of ~95%. LC-MS/MS analysis revealed the presence of three different Ah11Sn paralogs named Ah11SB, A11SC, and Ah11SHMW, and their structures were predicted with Alphafold2. We carried out an experimental evaluation of Ah11Sn surface hydrophobicity, solubility, emulsifying properties, and assembly capacity to provide an alternative application of these proteins in food formulations. Ah11Sn showed good surface hydrophobicity, solubility, and emulsifying properties at pH values of 2 and 3. However, the emulsions became unstable at 60 min. The assembly capacity of Ah11Sn evaluated by DLS analysis showed mainly the trimeric assembly (~150-170 kDa). This information is beneficial to exploit and utilize Ah11Sn rationally in food systems.
