Protein from immature soybeans showed more pseudoplasticity than from mature ones. The pH-solubility profile was similar irrespective of maturation. The 11S protein was more soluble in the acidic pH range than the 7S protein. Oil-in-water emulsion stability of isolated soy protein from mature soybeans was higher than that from the immature due to more 7S fraction in mature soybeans since 7S protein was found to form a more stable emulsion than that formed from 11S protein. This suggests that isolated soy protein from mature soybeans would serve as a better emulsifying agent. Heat-induced soy protein gels became weaker as the soybeans became more mature. This can be attributed to the higher content in the immature soybeans of 11S fraction which gives a stronger gel than 7S fraction in the protein from immature soybeans.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-15T21:09:57Z (GMT).
