    Abstract： The formation process of protein cold-set gels involves protein denaturation，aggregation and crosslinking，and isafectedbyproteinconcentration，pHvalue，ionic strengthandother factors.Proteincold-setgels has a variety of characterization methods，and also has the functions of embedding and acid resistance protection， which can protect bioactive molecules and probiotics from external damage，improve stability and bioavailability. In the food industry，cold gelscan improve the texture，mouthfeelandshelflifeoffoods，andcanalsobeusedasthickeners， stabilizersand flavorcarriers tomeet the needs of healthy diets and drive food innovation.Therefore，it is of great value to develop new functional protein cold-set gels for the production of health foods，functional foods and food processing.
