Whey-protein-isolate-based composite hydrogels with encapsulated black carrot (Daucus carota) extract were prepared by heat-induced gelation. The hydrogels were blended with gum tragacanth, pectin and xanthan gum polysaccharides for modulating their properties. ¹H spin-lattice relaxation experiments were performed in a broad frequency range, from 4 kHz to 30 MHz, to obtain insight into the influence of the different polysaccharides and of the presence of black carrot on dynamical properties of...

Unveiling protein dynamics in solution with field-cycling NMR relaxometry
Field-cycling NMR relaxometry is a well-established technique that can give information on molecular structure and dynamics of biological systems. It provides the nuclear relaxation rates as a function of the applied magnetic field, starting from fields as low as ~ 10^(-4) T up to about 1-3 T. The profiles so collected, called nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) profiles, can be extended to include the relaxation rates at the largest fields achievable with high resolution NMR...

Water-binding capacity (WBC) is commonly measured with a centrifugation method in which a sample is hydrated in excess water and the pellet weight after centrifugation defines the WBC. When a dispersion is being analyzed, here containing whey...

Abstract
Various experimental studies of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) in water and TFE/water clearly indicate structural differences between the native state and TFE state of HEWL, e.g. the helical content of the...

The changes in water proton transverse relaxation behavior induced by aggregation of whey proteins are explained in terms of the simple molecular processes of diffusion and chemical exchange. The water self-diffusion coefficient was measured in whey protein solutions and...
