Sodedji KAF, Assogbadjo AE, Lee B, Kim HY. An Integrated Approach for Biofortification of Carotenoids in Cowpea for Human Nutrition and Health. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:412. [PMID: 38337945 PMCID: PMC10856932 DOI: 10.3390/plants13030412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Stress-resilient and highly nutritious legume crops can alleviate the burden of malnutrition and food security globally. Here, we focused on cowpea, a legume grain widely grown and consumed in regions at a high risk of micronutrient deficiencies, and we discussed the past and present research on carotenoid biosynthesis, highlighting different knowledge gaps and prospects for increasing this micronutrient in various edible parts of the crop. The literature survey revealed that, although carotenoids are important micronutrients for human health and nutrition, like in many other pulses, the potential of carotenoid biofortification in cowpea is still underexploited. We found that there is, to some extent, progress in the quantification of this micronutrient in cowpea; however, the diversity in content in the edible parts of the crop, namely, grains, pods, sprouts, and leaves, among the existing cowpea genetic resources was uncovered. Based on the description of the different factors that can influence carotenoid biosynthesis and accumulation in cowpea, we anticipated that an integrated use of omics in breeding coupled with mutagenesis and genetic engineering in a plant factory system would help to achieve a timely and efficient increase in carotenoid content in cowpea for use in the food systems in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

The physicochemical properties and the release of sodium caseinate/ polysaccharide gum chlorophyll multiple-layer particles by rotary side-spray fluid bed technology. Food Chem 2022; 394:133442. [PMID: 35717923 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.133442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
Multiple-layer coating technology has widely applied to the quality modification of bioactive ingredients nowadays. This research used a rotary side-spray fluid bed to manufacture chlorophyll multiple-layer particles to adjust control release characteristics. The chlorophyll extracts were coated with sodium alginate (A1) and sodium caseinate (CA1) as the primary layer on sugar spheres and the product yield was 96.98 and 96.71%, respectively. The content of chlorophyll a and b (μg/g) were 41.04 and 13.20 in A1, 47.40 and 13.68 in CA1. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the bonding change and increase stability. The CA1 was coated with sodium alginate (CA-A), sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CA-C) and xanthan gum (CA-X) as the secondary layer, which can increase coated integrity, shell strength and thermal stability. The simulated gastrointestinal fluid showed 30.11% release in the stomach and 94.27% in the intestine, which improved release control characteristics. Increased retention rate and color stability in the storage test.

Origin, Maturity Group and Seed Coat Color Influence Carotenoid and Chlorophyll Concentrations in Soybean Seeds. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11070848. [PMID: 35406828 PMCID: PMC9003432 DOI: 10.3390/plants11070848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) seeds are abundant in physiologically active metabolites, including carotenoids and chlorophylls, and are used as an affordable source of functional foods that promote and maintain human health. The distribution and variation of soybean seed metabolites are influenced by plant genetic characteristics and environmental factors. Here, we investigated the effects of germplasm origin, genotype, seed coat color and maturity group (MG) on the concentration variation of carotenoid and chlorophyll components in 408 soybean germplasm accessions collected from China, Japan, the USA and Russia. The results showed that genotype, germplasm origin, seed color, and MG were significant variation sources of carotenoid and chlorophyll contents in soybean seeds. The total carotenoids showed about a 25-fold variation among the soybean germplasms, with an overall mean of 12.04 µg g−1. Russian soybeans yielded 1.3-fold higher total carotenoids compared with Chinese and Japanese soybeans. Similarly, the total chlorophylls were substantially increased in Russian soybeans compared to the others. Soybeans with black seed coat color contained abundant concentrations of carotenoids, with mainly lutein (19.98 µg g−1), β-carotene (0.64 µg g−1) and total carotenoids (21.04 µg g−1). Concentrations of lutein, total carotenoids and chlorophylls generally decreased in late MG soybeans. Overall, our results demonstrate that soybean is an excellent dietary source of carotenoids, which strongly depend on genetic factors, germplasm origin, MG and seed coat color. Thus, this study suggests that soybean breeders should consider these factors along with environmental factors in developing carotenoid-rich cultivars and related functional food resources.

Abstract
Sprouting is one of the processing methods to enhance bioavailability of some nutrients of agricultural products. Soybeans were germinated for 6 days and soybean (SB), soybean sprout (SBS), cotyledon of soybean sprout (CSS), and hypocotyl and root of soybean sprout (HRSS) were collected. Isoflavone profiles and in vitro antioxidant activities of 80% ethanol extracts of samples were analyzed. In addition, oxidative stability of the extract was evaluated in corn oils heated at 100 °C. The hypocotyl and root part of soybean sprout contained significantly (P < 0.05) higher content of isoflavone aglycones than the cotyledon part of soybean sprout. Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radial and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sul-fonic acid cation radical scavenging activities of SBS were 1.6 and 1.3 times higher than those of SB, respectively (P < 0.05), whereas those of CSS were 1.1 and 1.8 times higher than those of HRSS, respectively (P < 0.05). CSS had higher ORAC and FRAP values than others. High correlations between contents of total flavonoids and antioxidant activities were observed in all in vitro antioxidant assays. SBS, CSS, and HRSS had significantly higher oxidative stability than SB in 100 °C heated corn oil after 9 hr treatment (P < 0.05). Generally, 80% ethanol extract of CSS had high in vitro antioxidant properties whereas HRSS had high aglycone forms of isoflavones. Isoflavone aglycones may not be major ingredients providing antioxidant activities of soybean sprout. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Soybeans are important crops for the preparation of tofu, soymilk, and protein sources. Soybean sprout prepared by germinating soybean and growing for several days is one of important food materials used as daily diet in some countries. In this study, antioxidant activities of different parts of soybean sprouts were evaluated using in vitro methods and bulk oil model systems. In addition, isoflavone profiles of soybean sprouts were determined. Enhanced antioxidant activities of soybean sprouts may help consumers choose healthier foods and extend business areas of the soybean food industry.

Abstract
The role of energy status in germination and sprouting of broccoli seeds was investigated by exogenous ATP and DNP treatments. With the synthesis of adenylates from 38.82 to 142.69 mg·100 g-1 DW, the nutritive components (soluble sugar, proteins, pigments, and phenolics) and AAs were increased during germination and early sprouting (day 5). Elements of the BoSnRK2 pathway were down-regulated by more than 2 fold under the energy charge feedback inhibition. At the end of sprouting (day 7), energy depletion resulted in slowdown or reduced nutritional accumulation and antioxidant capacities. Exogenous ATP depressed the BoSnRK2 pathway by maintaining the energy status at high levels and further promoted the nutrition and antioxidant levels. It also prevented the energy depletion at day 7. On the contrary, DNP reduced the ATP contents (16.10-26.86%) and activated the BoSnRK2 pathway. It also notably suppressed the energy-consuming activities including germination, sprouts growth, and secondary metabolic synthesis.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of combined germination and Alcalase hydrolysis on the quality of soybean protein. Protein profiles, water solubility, foaming and emulsifying properties, thixotropic properties, and in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) were tested, the chemical score (CS), essential amino acid index (EAAI), and protein efficiency ratio (PER) of soybean protein were also defined. The combined treatment of germination and Alcalase hydrolysis remarkably improved the solubility, emulsification activity index, emulsion stability index, and foaming capacity of soybean protein. Notably, a decrease in foaming stability was detected. The electrophoretic profile showed a weak breakdown of soybean protein during germination. However, a strong breakdown of protein was observed after the hydrolysis with Alcalase. The combined treatment also decreased the CS and EAAI of soybean protein, but only by 18%. Meanwhile, the IVPD and PER of soybean protein were significantly improved. Moreover, the protein of the germinated and hydrolyzed soybean flour demonstrated better swallowing properties. These findings indicated that the combined treatment of germination and enzymatic hydrolysis can improve the quality of soybean protein.

Abstract
This study examined the macronutrients, phytochemicals, and antioxidant activities of yellow soybean sprout (YSS) and green soybean sprout (GSS) with different germination days. YSS and GSS were obtained by sprouting soybean in darkness or with light exposure at 21 °C. Lipid, protein, carbohydrate, and ash contents were analyzed before and after soybean germination. Phytochemicals (total phenolic compounds, saponin, and isoflavone) were also determined. DPPH, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) were determined to examine the antioxidant activities of soybean sprout. Results showed YSS had a higher yield than GSS. Based on dry mass composition, 7-d germination of GSS decreased 14% protein, 37% lipid, 22% carbohydrate, and 16% ash, whereas 7-d germination of YSS decreased 6% protein and 47% lipid. Carbohydrate did not change and ash significantly increased for the 7-d germinated YSS. Lipid was greatly metabolized in germination, which explained why the protein relative percentage in dried soybean sprout was higher than that in the corresponding soybean. Total phenolic compounds and saponin (mg/g soybean sprout, dry basis) had the same accumulation trend in soybean sprout with the increases in germination days. Aglycone isoflavones (genistein, glycitein, and daidzein) and daidzin showed an increased trend, whereas malonylgenistin and malonylglycitin showed a decreased trend with germination days for both GSS and YSS. The change in other isoflavones did not show definite trends. GSS had 20% more antioxidant activities than YSS (7-d germinated soybean sprout). The increases in ORAC antioxidant activity suggest eating GSS may be more beneficial than GSS for promoting human health.
