Abstract
Pea protein is a popular source of plant-based protein, though its application in meat and dairy analog products is still lacking. This is particularly true in the development of products with fatty and creamy textures. Cold denaturation may be a way to induce these types of textures in food since this is a universal phenomenon in protein that occurs due to a weakening of hydrophobic interactions at cold temperatures. This work utilizes a single screw extruder to systematically study the impacts of moisture content (50-65 %) and pH (2,4.5,8) on the outlet temperatures, specific mechanical energy, specific thermal energy, and texture of cold-extruded pea protein. It was found that at pH 2 and moistures of 60 % and greater, the temperature of the product exiting the extruder is <5.5 °C, and also produced 13.7 %-36.5 % more specific thermal energy, indicating the occurrence of cold denaturation in these products. Based on these findings, a comparison of hot and cold extrusion was conducted as a function of pH and oil content. It was found that cold extrusion imparts 43.0 %-56.2 % more mechanical energy into the protein than hot extrusion, and the cold extruded protein had higher values of Young's modulus and breaking stress. The protein extruded at low temperatures was also able to bind 32.93 % more oil than hot extruded proteins when extruded with 10 % added oil, which may aid in the formation of protein-based fat memetics for the food industry.

Abstract
Pea protein is a popular plant-based protein for mimicking textures in meat and dairy analogues which are more sustainable than their animal-based counterparts. However, precise mechanisms for generating specific textures through different processing methods are still being evaluated. This work utilizes a novel low-temperature extrusion process to selectively alter the chemical structure of pea protein. Changes in secondary structure, surface hydrophobicity, electrostatic interactions, and disulfide bonding are characterized through FTIR, ANS- probes, zeta potential, and SDS-PAGE. Extrudates are further characterized using texture parameter analysis. It was found that a linear combination of physicochemical data, generated with multiple linear regression modelling, led to reasonable estimates of the specific mechanical energy and textural properties. This work offers a new method of reactive extrusion to selectively modify interactions in pea protein using low temperature extrusion, and applications may include fatty textures, since the extrudates are found to be largely stabilized through hydrophobic interactions evaluated with surface hydrophobicity measurements.

Abstract
Isolated anthocyanins have limited colonic bioavailability due to their instability as free forms. Thus, many methods have been fabricated to increase the stability of anthocyanins. Complexation, encapsulation, and co-pigmentation with other pigments, proteins, metal ions, and carbohydrates have been reported to improve the stability and bioavailability of anthocyanins. In this study, anthocyanins extracted from purple potatoes were complexed with four different polysaccharides and their mixture. The anthocyanin-polysaccharide complexes were characterized using a zeta potential analyzer, particle size analyzer, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Complexes were subjected to simulated digestion for assessing the stability of anthocyanins. Furthermore, complexes were subjected to different pH conditions and incubated at high temperatures to monitor color changes. A Caco-2 cell monolayer was used to evaluate the colonic concentrations of anthocyanins. In addition, the bioactivity of complexes was assessed using LPS-treated Caco-2 cell monolayer. Results show that pectin had the best complexation capacity with anthocyanins. The surface morphology of the anthocyanin-pectin complex (APC) was changed after complexation. APC was more resistant to the simulated upper gastrointestinal digestion, and high pH and temperature conditions for a longer duration. Furthermore, APC restored the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced high cell permeability compared to isolated anthocyanins. In conclusion, complexation with pectin increased the stability and colonic bioavailability and the activity of anthocyanins.
