Whey protein isolate-dextran (WPI-dextran) conjugates were acquired via Maillard reaction for different durations (1-7 days) and their potential to govern the size and stability of colloidal nanoparticles formed from heating electrostatic complexes of WPI-dextran conjugates and chondroitin sulfates was assessed. The grafting degree and browning index gradually increased with the reaction time. The intensity of amide bands increased in the first 2 days and then declined. As the duration increased, the content of alpha-helix increased from 23.9% to 29.6%, while I3-sheet and random coil decreased from 23.8% and 38.1% to 19.6% and 32.7%, respectively. Moreover, the surface hydrophobicity was reduced as the conjugation progressed, while surface and total sulfhydryl content gradually increased from 5.3 and 15.4 mu mol/g to 11.0 and 17.9 mu mol/g, respectively. Meanwhile, fluorescence intensity of conjugates decreased with prolonged durations. These changes with increasing grafting degree prompted greater steric hindrance, weakened hydrophobic interaction, and improved stability of protein during heating, thus facilitating the decreasing diameter of the corresponding heat-induced nanoparticles. In comparison with the nanoparticles derived from non-conjugated mixture of WPI and dextran, those from WPIdextran conjugates showed an excellent stability to aggregation and dissociation upon synergistic influence of pH variation (1-10) and enhancing ionic strength (0-4 mol/L).
