ABSTRACT
The regulation mechanism of curcumin (CUR) in the oil phase on the emulsification and gelation properties of myofibrillar protein (MP) was investigated. CUR enhanced the emulsifying activity index (EAI) of MP but decreased its turbiscan stability index (TSI) and surface hydrophobicity, which exacerbated oil droplet aggregation. Medium amounts (200 mg/L) of CUR changed the 3D network architectures of emulsion gels from lamellar to reticular, improving the gels' water-holding capacity (WHC), storage modulus, springiness, and cohesiveness. Besides, the LF-NMR revealed that CUR had limited effects on the mobility of immobilized and free water. The α-helix of MP in gels with medium amounts of CUR decreased from 51% to 45%, but the ß-sheet increased from 23% to 27% compared to those without CUR. Overall, CUR has the potential to become a novel structural modifier in emulsified meat products due to its dose-response.
