Effects of Konjac Glucomannan on the Structure and Gel Properties of Peanut Protein
Abstract
This work investigated how the content of konjac glucomannan (KGM) (0.5%~5.0%) affected the structure and gel properties of peanut protein, with the aim of elucidating the underlying mechanisms. Results from texture analysis, microscopic analysis, surface hydrophobicity analysis, and thiol content measurement showed that as KGM content increased, peanut protein gel hardness increased significantly (P
