RESUMEN
Objective: To evaluate the heating effects on SDS PAGE patterns of soymilk protein, trypsin inhibitor activity and sulfhydryl bond content in soymilkMethods: Soymilk samples were heated at 95 ℃,120 ℃ and 140 ℃.SDS PAGE was adopted to detect the pattern changes of soymilk proteins after heating and ? mercaptoethanol pretreatment. Trypsin activities were analyzed to detect the changes of trypsin inhibitor activities. Ellman method was used to detect sulfhydryl bond.Results: The protein bands of 7,8,11,12,13,14,15,16 disappeared and one new band(band 17)with Mr of 104 620 appeared in the SDS PAGE pattern of soymilk proteins after heated at 95 ℃,120 ℃ and 140 ℃. The sulfhydryl bond content decreased after heating and this change contributed to the pattern change of soymilk protein by ? mercaptoethanol pretreatment and by determining the sulfhydryl bond content. The holding time to inactivate 90% of soy bean inhibitor activity at 95 ℃ ,120 ℃ and 140 ℃ were 35 min, 7 min and 60 s respectively.Conclusion: Heating treatment may change the sulfhydryl bond and SDS PAGE pattern of soymilk proteins. The TDT curve indicates that the holding time required to inactivate 90% of soybean trypsin inhibitor could be reduced ten folds by raising 30 ℃ within the temperature range of 95 140 ℃.
