The formation and characterization of conjugates of soybean protein isolate (SPI) and dextran with varying molecular weights (4, 10, and 70 kDa) and their effects on quality of glucono-delta-lactone (GDL)-induced tofu were investigated. The extent of glycosylation was negatively related to the molecular weight of dextran. Thus, the SPI-dextran4 conjugate exhibited a darker color and a biggest decrease in whiteness from 70.49 to 45.51. SPI-dextran70 conjugate exhibited an increased surface hydrophobicity and free sulfhydryl content. Volume-average diameter of SPI-dextran70 conjugate-added soymilk and gel strength of the corresponding tofu ranged from 10.34 to 11.24 mu m and 0.068 to 0.083 N, respectively, which were lesser than those of the control (11.12 um and 0.133 N). However, SPI-dextran10 conjugate incubated for 6 days and SPI-dextran4 conjugate incubated for 2 days increased the gel strength of tofu to 0.146 and 0.143 N, respectively. Conjugates-added tofu exhibited an increased water holding capacity and a discontinuous and loose microstructure, but a lowered whiteness and a color change to yellow. Results demonstrated that the selection of dextran with an appropriate molecular weight and controlling the glycosylation degree were capable of improving the quality of SPI-dextran conjugate-added GDL-induced tofu.
