Protein and its functional properties in food products

Learning objectives To understand the composition of protein. To know the difference between dipeptides and polypeptides. To recognise the functional properties of protein in foods.

Protein and its functional properties in food products Most foods contain protein, such as collagen in meat, gluten in wheat flour and albumin in egg white. Some types of protein help with reactions – these are called enzymes, whilst others form part of the structure of the cells.

Amino acids Protein is made up of small units called amino acids. Amino acids are compounds which contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. A few also contain sulphur and phosphorous There are around 20 different amino acids commonly found in plant and animal proteins. All amino acids have an acid group (X) and an amino group (Y). The rest of the amino acid is represented by ‘R’ and is different for every amino acid. In the simplest amino acid, glycine, ‘R’ is a hydrogen atom, but in other amino acids ‘R’ is much more complex and may contain a benzene ring (Z).

Dipeptides and polypepetides When two amino acids are joined together in this way, a dipeptide is formed. A polypeptide is created when many amino acids are joined together. A typical protein may contain 500 or more amino acids, joined together by peptide bonds.

Dipeptides and polypepetides Each protein has its own specific number and sequence of amino acids. The chains of amino acids making up the structure are also held together by bonds, sometimes containing sulphur. The shape of the molecule is important as it is often determines the function of the protein.

Denaturation Denaturation is the change in structure of protein molecules. The process results in the unfolding of molecules. Factors which contribute to denaturation are heat, salts, pH and mechanical action. Denaturation is a partially reversible change. For example, when an egg white is whisked it incorporates air to form a foam. If the foam is left to stand, it will collapse back to form liquid egg white.

Coagulation Coagulation follows denaturation. For example, when egg white is cooked it changes colour and becomes firmer or sets. The heat causes egg proteins to unfold from their coiled state and form a solid stable network. This change is irreversible.

Coagulation Another form of coagulation occurs in the production of cheese. Rennin (an enzyme from a calf’s stomach) is added to milk causing the protein casein to clot, producing curds (solid) and whey (liquid). Other applications of coagulation are: • yogurt production; • thickening of sauces with beaten egg; • binding ingredients together, e.g. fish, cakes, reformed meats; • providing a coating for products, e.g. scotch eggs.

Gluten formation Two proteins, gliadin and glutenin, found in wheat flour, form gluten when mixed with water. Gluten is strong, elastic and forms a 3D network in dough. In the production of bread, kneading helps untangle the gluten strands and align them. Gluten helps give structure to the bread and keeps in the gases that expand during cooking. The amount and type of protein present depends on the flour type and quality. Strong flour contains a maximum of 17% protein, plain flour 10%.

Gluten development A cross section is shown below of under developed dough and weak or soft flour 8% respectively. Products that require short or non-elastic textures, such as biscuits and cakes, use flours with lower protein contents.

Gelation Gelatine is a protein which is extracted from collagen, present in connective tissue in meat. When it is mixed with warm water the gelatine protein molecules start to unwind. Although on cooling a stable network is formed, trapping the liquid. Gelation is reversible.

Review of the learning objectives To understand the composition of protein. To know the difference between dipeptides and polypeptides. To recognise the functional properties of protein in foods.
