The conjugation reaction between phosvitin (Pv) and dextran (Dex) in an aqueous solution at the initial stage of Maillard reaction was investigated in this study. The formation of Pv–Dex conjugates was indirectly traced by measuring the absorbance at 200nm in the UV-vis spectrophotometer. The content of free amino groups in the glycosylated Pv decreased to 77.4% after reaction for 6h. The new band near the loading end of SDS-PAGE gel also suggested the high molecular weight products developed after conjugation. The shift of the main peak of Pv in size exclusion-high performance liquid chromatography from 9.16min to 8.87min and the minor peak from 6.56min to 6.13min confirmed the formation of covalent conjugates. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra demonstrated that significant changes of the secondary structure occurred to the grafted Pv. The optimum conjugation condition chosen was per Pv (5mg/ml) glycosylated with 4-fold dextran (Mw, 40kDa) at 100°C for 6h.
