Abstract: We investigated the effect of the NaCl concentration (0.3–2M) on the structure and dynamics of hen egg yolk at room temperature and during thermal gelation at temperatures in the range of 66–90 °C utilizing low-dose x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy in ultra-small angle x-ray scattering geometry. With an increase in the salt concentration, we observe progressive structural and dynamic changes at room temperature, indicating the disruption of yolk components such as yolk-granules and yolk-plasma proteins. Temperature- and salt-dependent structural and dynamic investigations suggest a delay in the gel formation and aggregation of yolk low-density lipoproteins with increasing ionic strength. However, the time–temperature superposition relationship observed in all samples suggests an identical mechanism underlying protein aggregation–gelation with a temperature-dependent reaction rate. The sol–gel transition time extracted from kinetic and dynamic information follows Arrhenius's behavior, and the activation energy (460 kJ/mol) is found to be independent of the salt concentration.
