RESUMEN
To clarify the mechanism of lower temperatures promoted the solidification of preserved egg yolk, the effects of temperature (4 °C, 10 °C and 25 °C) on the physicochemical properties, microstructure and protein structure of preserved egg yolk were studied. Results showed that the exterior egg yolk (EEY) exhibited higher pH, hardness and free sulfhydryl content at low-temperature pickling. The microstructure showed that the EEY gradually formed a denser gel network structure at lower temperatures. Electrophoresis results and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that there were different degrees of protein degradation and cross-linking of proteins in the IEY (the interior egg yolk) and EEY and the decrease of ß-sheets in the secondary structure was accompanied by an increase of ß-turns during the formation of egg yolk gels. These results indicated that egg yolk solidification was faster and denser gel structure at 4 °C and 10 °C.
RESUMEN
The influence of ultrasonic processing on the physicochemical characteristics, microstructure, and intermolecular forces of the hybrid gels obtained by heating the mixtures of different ratios of salted ovalbumin (SOVA)-cooked soybean protein isolate (CSPI) was investigated. With the growth of SOVA addition, ζ-potential in absolute value, cohesiveness, water-holding capacity (WHC), surface hydrophobicity, and the content of soluble protein of the hybrid gels decreased (P < 0.05), while the hardness, T2 relaxation time of the hybrid gels increased (P < 0.05). And the compactness of the network structure of the hybrid gel increased with the increase of SOVA addition. After being treated with ultrasound, significant increases (P < 0.05) of ζ-potential in absolute value, cohesiveness, WHC, and surface hydrophobicity of the hybrid gels were observed. In general, ultrasonic processing is one of the effective means to improve the gel properties of SOVA-CSPI hybrid gels.
RESUMEN
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different copper salts on the physicochemical properties, microstructure and intermolecular interactions of preserved egg white (PEW) during pickling. With increased pickling time, the alkalinity of the pickling solution and the moisture of PEW pickled by three copper salts (CuSO4, CuCl2 and Cu(CH3COO)2) gradually decreased, while the pH showed dynamic trends. During the early stage of pickling, the viscosity of PEW changed dynamically. With the progress of pickling, the hardness and springiness of PEW increased gradually and the α-helix structure gradually transformed into a more stable ß-structure. The main forces that maintained PEW gel were ionic and disulfide bonds. In the early stage of pickling, the alkali penetration rate of CuCl2 pickled preserved eggs was faster, and better gel strength and network structure were observed, followed by CuSO4 and Cu(CH3COO)2, while there were no significant differences in the later stage of pickling.

This study was conducted to investigate the dynamic regulation of alkali infiltration by different metal compounds during the pickling of preserved eggs. With the increased pickling time, the alkalinity of the pickling solution decreased, while the pH of preserved egg white increased firstly, then decreased, and finally increased again. The metal ions corresponding to the added metal compounds (CuSO4, CuSO4/ZnSO4 and PbO) underwent a complex migration with pickling time, and their content gradually increased in eggshell and yolk, but showed complex changes in egg white. The addition of metal compounds could produce a plugging effect. The main components of the black spots on eggshells of preserved eggs pickled by CuSO4, CuSO4/ZnSO4, and PbO were Cu2S, Cu2S/ZnS and PbS, respectively. In short, different metal compounds were combined with H2S to form insoluble compounds to block eggshell stomata, mesh pores and corrosion pores, thereby dynamically regulating the penetration of alkali.
