Abstract

Nonenzymatic deamidation of glutamine and asparagine residues of soy protein in aqueous solutions of varying pH (3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 9.0 and 11.0) at different temperatures (100C, 115C and 130C) was monitored over a period of time. the deamidation of soy protein followed first‐order kinetics. the activation energies (Ea) of soy protein deamidation at different pHs ranged from 14 to 27 Kcal/mol. the activation energies were highly pH‐dependent and decreased very sharply as the pH went up from pH 5 to pH 11.
