Abstract

In recent years, new food processing technologies (such as ultrasound, high-pressure homogenization, and pulsed electric fields) have gradually appeared in the public 's field of vision. These technologies have made outstanding contributions to changing the structure and function of protein complexes. As a relatively mature physical field, ultrasound has been widely used in food-related fields. However, with the gradual deepening of related research, it is found that the combination of different fields often makes some characteristics of the product better than the product under the action of a single field, which will not only lead to a broader application prospect of the product, but also make the product a better solution in some special fields. There are usually synergistic and antagonistic effects when multiple fields are combined, and these effects will also gradually enlarge the interaction between different components of the protein complex system. In this paper, while explaining the mechanism of ultrasonic combined with other fields affecting the steric hindrance and shielding site of protein complex system, we will further explain the effect of this effect on the function and application of protein complex system.
