Abstract
SANS is uniquely qualified to study the structure of proteins in liquid and solid phases that are relevant to food scienc3 and biotechnological applications. We have studied a model protein, lysozyme, in both the liquid and water ice phases to determine its gross-structure, interparticle interactions and other properties. These properties have been studied under a variety of solution conditions before, during, and after freezing. Results for lysozyme at concentration of 50 mg/mL and 100 mg/mL, with NaCl concentrations of 0.4M and 0M, respectively, both in the liquid and frozen states, are presented and implications for food science will be discussed.Citation
