Abstract The effect of L-cysteine on the solubility, protein structure, rheological and textural characteristics of corn masa was investigated. Corn masa was prepared by adding L-cysteine at two levels (0.25, 0.50 %). Size exclusion chromatography and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were utilized for protein characterization. Dynamic rheology and textural profile analysis were carried out on corn masa. There was a significant difference in relative solubility between the control and masa containing L-cysteine. Treatments with L-cysteine increased the relative solubility of proteins. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed that addition of L-cysteine did not affect the secondary structure of protein. Results also showed significant differences in textural properties. Masas with L-cysteine improved masa springiness, adhesiveness and cohesiveness. This investigation revealed that L-cysteine, improves the elasticity or storage modulus, important characteristics of corn masa.
