β-Conglycinin was conjugated with carboxymethyl dextran (CMD) by the Maillard reaction to improve its function. The β-conglycinin-CMD conjugate was purified by dialysis. Conjugation was confirmed by SDS-PAGE with CBB and PAS staining. Composition of the β-conglycinin-CMD was β-conglycinin:CMD = 1:2.7 (molar ratio) which was confirmed by BCA method and phenol sulfuric acid method. Solubility of β-conglycinin in the range of pH 2.0–7.0 was much improved by conjugation with CMD. Emulsifying
