Applications of millet bran dietary fiber (MBDF) in the food industry are limited by its poor hydration properties. Herein, MBDF was modified by heating, xylanase and cellulase treatment separately combined with carboxymethylation, acetylation, and phosphate crosslinking, and the effects of the modified MBDFs on heat-induced egg white protein gel (H-EWG) were studied. The results showed that three composite modifications, especially heating and dual enzymolysis combined with carboxymethylation, increased the surface area, soluble fiber content, and hydration properties of MBDF (p <: 0.05). MBDF and the modified MBDFs all made the microstructure of H-EWG denser and decreased its &alpha:-helix content. Three composite modifications, especially heating and dual enzymolysis combined with carboxymethylation, enhanced the improving effect of MBDF on the WRA (from 24.89 to 35.53 g/g), pH, hardness (from 139.93 to 323.20 g), chewiness, and gumminess of H-EWPG, and enhanced the gastric stability at 3&ndash:5 g/100 g. MBDFs modified with heating and dual enzymolysis combined with acetylation or crosslinking were more effective in increasing the antioxidant activity of the gastrointestinal hydrolysates of H-EWG than MBDF (p <: 0.05). Overall, heating, xylanase and cellulase treatment separately combined with carboxymethylation, acetylation and crosslinking can enhance the hydration properties and the improving effect of millet bran fibers on H-EWG properties.
