... In our previous study, we demonstrated that pressure level and number of passes (up to 300 MPa to 4 passes) induced structural modification of the EYG resulting in decreased particle size and generation of EYG protein-protein interactions. Moreover, after UHPH treatment (300 MPa, single pass), a reorganization of EYG structure via the formation of a protein network consisting of apovitellenin, apolipoprotein and phosvitin was noticed without changing the protein profile and proximate composition (Gaillard et al., 2022). However, the detailed structural modifications of EYG proteins and their impact on granule techno-functional properties after UHPH treatment were not investigated. ...
