Abstract

Effect of ${\gamma}-irradiation$ on the SDS-PAGE pattern, secondary structure content, the solubility of commercial soy protein isolate (SPI) and whey protein concentrate (WPC) was investigated. The change in the subunit molecular weight of SPI and WPC irradiated in aqueous solution or dried state was studied using SDS-PAGE. The SDS-PAGE pattern of SPI irradiated in aqueous solution revealed the fragmentation and aggregation of the subunit protein. For WPC irradiated in aqueous solution. fragmentation of the subunit protein up to 10 kGy was observed. In contrast, ${\gamma}-irradiation$ of SPI and WPC in dried state did not cause any significant changes in the SDS-PAGE pattern. The change In the secondary structure of irradiated SPI and WPC solution was studied using circular dichroism. The aperiodic structure content of SPI and WPC solution increased at higher irradiation doses, which suggests that ${\gamma}-irradiation$ caused the disruption of the ordered structure of SPI and WPC solution. Gamma-irradiation also caused the change in solubility of SPI and WPC in dried state.

감마선 조사가 상업적 등급의 SPI와 WPC의 SDS-PAGE 헝태와 이차구조 함량, 용해도 등 이화학적 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 감마선이 조사된 SPI와 WPC의 SDS-PAGE 형태은 SPI 용액의 경우 5 kGy 이상 조사에서 단백질의 degraded pattern과 아울러 중합이 나타난 반면에 WPC 용액에서는 단백질이 절단된 형태로 나타났다. 반면에 감마선이 조사된 SPI와 WPC 분말의 경우 분자량 분포에는 큰 변화가 없었다. Circular dichroism 연구에서 감마선이 조사된 SPI와 WPC용액의 이차구조의 변화는 감마선 조사에 의하여 단백질의 구조 변화를 나타내는 random coil함량이 증가하였다. 또한, SPI와 WPC 분말의 경우에는 감마선 조사에 의한 용해도의 차이가 있었다.
