Abstract

We studied to improve the functional properties of soybean protein isolate by dimethylglutarylation and acetylation. Soybean protein isolate was acylated rapidly up to 80% modification and more of 80% modification was proceed slowly. Electrophoretic analysis showed that more changes in modified protein. Also, modification of soybean protein produced more ionizable tyrosines and exposed more hydrophobic groups, while modified protein exhibited a loss of reactive sulfhydryl groups. Spectrophoretic studies demonstrated that the shift was occurred at the UV 278nm and fluorescence 333nm, respectively, and the intensity decreased as the degree of modification was increased.
