This study evaluated the gel and microstructure properties of scallop ( Patinopecten yessoensis ) male gonads hydrolysates (SMGHs) combined with xanthan gum (XG). SMGHs/XG hydrogel matrix properties and structures were elucidated via different analysis tools such as rheometry, LF‐NMR, FTIR, AFM, and Cryo‐SEM. The addition of XG significantly improved the rheological properties of SMGHs, as indicated by 3.1‐fold G′ and 1.3‐fold melting temperature with increasing the XG dose to 5.6 mg/ml. The corresponding decrease in the T 23 relaxation time from 450.3 to 365.6 ms also signified the strong binding between SMGHs and XG. SMGHs/XG also had a higher proton density ( T 1 and T 2 weighted images) due to the higher bound and free water content of the hybrid gel systems, respectively. Additionally, the blueshift in the amide I and II bands in SMGHs/XG further indicated stronger electrostatic interactions between SMGHs and XG. Such scenarios resulted in a well‐distributed and compact network with a rougher surface of SMGHs/XG in comparison to pure SMGHs and XG, as assessed by AFM and SEM. These results suggest that SMGHs/XG gel could be a potential hybrid gel applied in the food industry. Practical Application Scallop ( Patinopecten yessoensis ) male gonads are edible, but are usually discarded during processing of scallop adductor. Because of its rich nutrition and gelation properties, scallop male gonads have a potential role in developing marine source‐protein as a functional food base. The SMGHs/XG binary gel would be potentially applied in delivery system in food and biological fields. Further study is undergoing to apply SMGHs/XG binary gel to embed bioactive compounds, such as curcumin and β‐carotene.
