Abstract

The interactions between water and protein are one of the most important determinants impacting the functional role of proteins in foods. This chapter provides an in-depth discussion on the physicochemical properties of protein–water interactions as they relate to their functional properties and their relevance in food product preparations and applications. Specifically, the definitions and methods of determination of solubility, protein dispersibility, water adsorption, and wettability will be discussed.
