4.13 Emulsion Capacity (EC)<br />

The effect <strong>of</strong> <strong>chitosan</strong> on the emulsifying capacity <strong>of</strong> soy protein w<strong>as</strong> evaluated with five<br />

<strong>crawfish</strong> <strong>chitosan</strong> samples, two commercial <strong>chitosan</strong>s (Vanson75 <strong>and</strong> Sigma91), <strong>and</strong> three<br />

controls (Figure 8). Results indicate that the capacity <strong>of</strong> soy protein to form emulsion w<strong>as</strong><br />

enhanced in the presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>chitosan</strong>.<br />

Control 2 = 1% acetic acid <strong>and</strong> 1% protein solution with no <strong>chitosan</strong>; <strong>and</strong> Control 3 = 0.5%<br />

<strong>chitosan</strong> solution only.<br />

The three controls used in evaluating this property include; Control 1 - 1% protein<br />

solution only; Control 2 - 1% acetic acid <strong>and</strong> 1% protein solution with no <strong>chitosan</strong>; <strong>and</strong> Control 3
