Abstract:Rapeseed protein is a kind of complete protein with excellent amino acid composition. And its high nutritional values make the rapeseed protein a potential edible food ingredient. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different extraction methods, namely conventional alkali-solution and acid-isolation extraction and weak electric field extraction on the functional properties of rapeseed protein isolate, e.g., amino acid composition, sulfhydryl/disulfide content, secondary structure, surface hydrophobicity and so on. The results show that the surface hydrophobicity of ERP was 5.776 ± 0.222, which was greater than that of CRP (4.803 ± 0.060). So the emulsifying property, emulsifying stability and oil absorption capacity of ERP were better, the datas were 49.95%, 90.85% and 166.18% respectively. The disulfide bonds content of ERP and CRP were 47.51 and 36.67 μmol/g, respectively. According to the circular dichroism, the proportion of α-spiral and β-turn in ERP is higher than CRP. Overall, the rapeseed protein isolate with different extraction methods demonstrated distinct functional properties.
