Abstract
The emulsifying and foaming properties of the 2S albumins of four cultivars of sunflower were studied. Kinetics of flocculation creaming, resistance to coalescence, foam formation, and stability were determined. Results obtained indicated a cultivar dependence on emulsion stability. The proteins associated with emulsion stability were the most hydrophobic, as determined by RP-HPLC, and correspond to a group of methionine-rich 2S albumins previously characterized. Conversely to 2S albumins from other species, those from sunflower produced foams with little or no stability.
