Selected amino acids were employed as model systems for soy protein hydration, activity, and water sorption.

At neutral pH, the transverse relaxation of soy globulin fractions in solution containing 0.4 M NaCl showed that the protein activity coefficients are negative ($\\cong{-}1.2),$ indicating the presence of soy globulin self-association. The relative hydration of 7S soy globulin was 1.3 times higher than that of 11S soy globulin. A new approach to water vapor isotherms of selected amino acids, as well as the 7S and 11S soy globulins, using nonlinear regression analysis, shows that the relative vapor pressure is thermodynamically linked to the amino acid clustering or protein aggregation. Results of nonlinear regression analysis with a six-parameter model showed that a one-step protein aggregation process dominated in both hydrated 7S and 11S soy globulins. These findings are potentially important for controlling the stability and shelf-life of soy protein-based food products.","Nuclear spin retaxation and rheological results at pH 7.3 for soy protein solutions are consistent with an ion binding/isoelectric precipitation model.
