This study investigated the impact of ultrasound pretreatment and phenolic binding on the structure characteristic and foaming properties of egg white (EW). EW treated without ultrasound (NEW) and with ultrasound (UEW) (power for 28% and time for 25 min: on-time 3 s and off-time 2 s) were incubated separately at 25 degrees C for 2 h with gallic acid (GA) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) at pH 7.0. Phenolic treatment caused a significant loss of sulfhydryl content, with a more remarkable effect observed in UEW, especially at 120 mu mol/g concentration. Both phenolics significantly decreased the surface hydrophobicity and slightly increased the disordered secondary structure of protein. Additionally, the microenvironment polarity of protein molecules was increased by phenolic treatment corroborated by UV absorption blue shift, especially for 240 mu mol/g GA-UEW. After ultrasound pretreatment, low EGCG concentration (20 mu mol/g) significantly increased the foaming ability. The 240 mu mol/g EGCG treatment notably increased the reduced foaming stability by ultrasound from 81.00 to 95.10% (p < 0.05), which was due to high absolute xi-potential value. This study has shed light on the mechanisms underlying the influence of unfolding structure by ultrasound treatment on phenolic binding.
