Abstract During the egg storage, the change in structure of ovalbumin (OVA) was determined by spectroscopy of Fluorescence, Circular Dichroism and Fourier-Transform Raman. The relationships between the OVA properties and structure were also investigated in this study. Comparing with the consequence of Circular Dichroism and Fourier-Transform Raman spectra, it was obvious that the percentage of α-helix and β-sheet showed downward trends after storage. In contrast, the percentage of β-turn and random coil clearly presented raising trend. Furthermore, tryptophan residues were buried in a more hydrophobic environment. The emulsifying and foaming properties of OVA all decreased during the storage. Moreover, the correlation analysis indicated that β-sheet related to the emulsifying stability of OVA (p
