摘要
Structural changes of alpha-lactalbumin (alpha-lac) in response to pH, ionic strength, sugars, and heat treatment were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. From DSC, two reversible transitions at 39.6 degrees C (A) and 64.8 degrees C (B) were observed when alpha-lac was heated. At pH 3, transition A was partially reversible (14%) while transition B was completely reversible. At pH 9, both transitions were completely irreversible. Heating alpha-lac at pH 3 resulted in aggregation with no observed gelation; at pH 9 a translucent gel was formed. FTIR showed that at pH 3, denaturation of alpha-lac resulted in the appearance of two bands at 1616 and 1685 cm(-1) attributed to intermolecular aggregation. These bands were absent at alkaline pH. The major effects of heat treatment of alpha-lac were loss in the bands attributed to alpha-helix, 3(10)-helix, and beta-sheet and increase in the bands attributed to turns.
