The heat-treated water-soluble molecules of a food-related protein, bovine serum albumin, were characterized by using size-exclusion chromatography combined with small-angle X-ray scattering measurement. Fractal analysis of the scattering data revealed that the heat-treated water-soluble species have a rod-like structural character (fractal dimension is 1). The scattering data also showed that the radius of gyration and the molecular weight of the heat-treated water-soluble aggregates are 14-15 nm and 0.98-2.3 million, respectively. Characterization of food-related biopolymers using the scattering method will be useful for the development of food processing technologies.
