Example 2
[0052] A 10% mung bean protein isolate solution was prepared, the pH of the solution was adjusted to 12, and treatment was conducted for 40 minutes; ultrasonic treatment was conducted under 20 kHz for 30 minutes after pH shift was conducted, and the pH of the solution was adjusted back to 7; and then a 0.3% PG enzyme was added, heat preservation was conducted at 45° C. for 30 minutes, and finally enzyme deactivation and freeze-drying were conducted to obtain a modified mung bean protein isolate.
Example 3
[0053] An 8% mung bean protein isolate solution was prepared, the pH of the solution was adjusted to 10, and treatment was conducted for 60 minutes; ultrasonic treatment was conducted under 20 kHz for 40 minutes after pH shift was conducted, and the pH of the solution was adjusted back to 7; and then a 1% PG enzyme was added, heat preservation was conducted at 45° C. for 15 minutes, and finally enzyme deactivation and freeze-drying were conducted to obtain a modified mung bean protein isolate.
Example 4
[0054] A 6% mung bean protein isolate solution was prepared, the pH of the solution was adjusted to 12, and treatment was conducted for 20 minutes; ultrasonic treatment was conducted under 40 kHz for 10 minutes after pH shift was conducted, and the pH of the solution was adjusted back to 6; and then a 0.1% PG enzyme was added, heat preservation was conducted at 45° C. for 40 minutes, and finally enzyme deactivation and freeze-drying were conducted to obtain a modified mung bean protein isolate.
[0055] The viscosity of the modified mung bean protein isolate prepared in Example 1 and an unmodified mung bean protein isolate was determined, and results were shown in Table 1. It can be seen that the viscosity of the mung bean protein isolate could be greatly reduced to 12 mPa.Math.s by combined modification treatment in the present disclosure.
TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Numerical table of viscosity of modified and unmodified mung bean protein solutions Group Viscosity of protein solution (mPa .Math. s) No modification treatment 468.60 ± 4.18 Combined modification treatment 12.06 ± 1.31

The product was shown in
[0085] It can be seen from the figure that mung bean protein-based scrambled eggs prepared from the modified proteins obtained in Examples 5 and 6 had good moldability, color and appearance which was very similar to that of a traditional scrambled egg. In addition, the mung bean protein-based scrambled egg prepared from the modified protein obtained in Example 6 had better gelling properties than a product prepared from the modified protein obtained in Example 5.
