Abstract

We describe the quantitative interrelation between the thermodynamic parameters of caseinate submicelles in the presence of calcium ions (0-14 mM) in aqueous medium and the capacity of the protein to induce depletion flocculation in oil-in-water emulsions at pH 7.0 and ionic strength 0.05 mol dm(-3). Measurements have been made by static and dynamic multiangle laser light scattering of the weight-average molecular weight, the radius of gyration, the hydrodynamic radius, and the second virial coefficient of caseinate submicelles in aqueous solution. Successive thermodynamic approximations with and without consideration of correlations between caseinate submicelles have been used to calculate the osmotic pressure in caseinate aqueous solutions and the free energy of the depletion interaction between droplets in oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by caseinate. Numerical results from both thermodynamic approximations are in reasonably good agreement with experiment, predicting a pronounced decrease in the strength of the depletion attraction at concentrations of Ca(2+) in the range 4-8 mM (with a minimum value at 8 mM). This correlates well with the great enhancement of stability of these emulsions with respect to flocculation in comparison with systems having no added ionic calcium and emulsions with lower (2 mM) or higher (10 mM) Ca(2+) contents. Nevertheless, the allowance for interactive correlations between caseinate submicelles seems to lead to a better prediction of emulsion flocculation on a qualitative level over the whole range of Ca(2+) concentrations studied (2-14 mM). The calculated pronounced decrease in depletion interaction strength is attributable to marked changes in weight-average molecular weight and mean size of aggregates, and to more positive values of the second virial coefficient of caseinate submicelles with increasing Ca(2+) content. Finally, we discuss the part played by the electrical charge on the protein in determining the overall strength of the flocculation-inducing attractive interactions between droplets.
