Abstract
Phase separation is the typical phenomenon in protein-polysaccharide mixtures because of thermodynamic incompatibility between two macromolecules. Phase separations of casein-alginate-water systems were investigated by using phase diagram under varying pH (6, 8 and 10) and NaCl concentrations (0, 0.25 and 0.5 M). Incompatibility decreased with increasing pH and decreasing NaCl concentration. Molecular weight of alginates did not significantly affect the phase diagram of casein-alginate-water systems. The results strongly suggested that compatibility of casein and alginate involved electrostatic interactions.
수용액상에서 단백질과 다당류 사이의 비혼합성은 일반적인 현상이므로 다양한 조성과 형태의 수용성 거대분자를 포함하는 식품에서 상분리는 매우 전형적인 현상이다. 본 연구에서는 식품원료로 자주 쓰이는 카제인과 알긴산을 이용하여, pH (6, 8, 10), NaCl 농도(0, 0.25, 0.5 M), 알긴산의 분자량
