Vitamin C (VC) can greatly enhance the quality properties of dough and steamed bread in the food field. However, there are few studies on the interaction between VC and gluten, and the mechanism of VC influencing the foaming capacity, emulsifiablity, and dynamic viscosity of gluten is not clear. In this study, different content of VC (0, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%) was added to gluten to obtain VC-gluten dough samples (CK, GV1, GV2, GV3, GV4 and GV5), and the properties of the VC-gluten dough were determined. Results showed that the increasing VC content lead to increase in the content of high-, medium- and low-molecular weight gluten, suggesting that VC improved the protein solubility of gluten. The G' and G" values of dough containing VC were higher than those of the control with the increase of scanning frequency. The foaming ability of gluten increased with the increase of VC content. Emulsibility of the dough of GV1 to GV 5 were significantly lower than that of the CK. Furthermore, VC could reduce the number of bubbles in gluten protein, when the VC content was less than 3%. In conclusion, VC might reduce the emulsifying characteristic and emulsifying stability of gluten, increase the solubility of gluten, and improve the dynamic viscosity of gluten dough by changing the content of disulfide bond in gluten. This study hopes to not only improve the functional characteristics of gluten protein, but also provide the basis for future development and improvement of VC-enriched health foods.
