Electron beam-induced structural modification enhances pea protein emulsion gels formed by transglutaminase‑calcium dual crosslinking.
Pea protein isolate (PPI) has limited use in the food industry due to its poor solubility and gelation. This study used electron beam irradiation (EBI, 5-30 kGy) to treat PPI, followed by dual crosslinking with transglutaminase (TG) and/or CaCl2 to prepare oil-in-water emulsion gels, aiming to optimize processing condi...
