Abstract
Hydrogels fabricated by non-covalent interaction garnered significant attention for their eco-friendly and robust mechanical attributes, and are often used in food, medicine and other fields. Although starch-alginate hydrogels exhibit high adhesion and are environmentally sustainable, their applications are limited due to their low elasticity and hardness. Addressing this challenge, we introduce a solvent-induced strategy using glucolactone (GDL) to fabricate hydrogels with enhanced strength and thermal resilience. Utilizing corn starch with varying amylose contents, sodium alginate and calcium carbonate to prepare a double network structure. This GDL-induced hydrogel outperforms most previous starch-based hydrogels in mechanical robustness and thermal stability. Typical starch-alginate hydrogel had a homogeneous network structure and exhibited a high tensile stress of 407.57 KPa, and a high enthalpy value of 1857.67 J/g. This investigation furnishes a facile yet effective method for the synthesis of hydrogels with superior mechanical and thermal properties, thereby broadening the design landscape for starch-based hydrogels.

Implementation of plant extracts for cheddar-type cheese production in conjunction with FTIR and Raman spectroscopy comparison. Food Chem X 2024; 22:101256. [PMID: 38495457 PMCID: PMC10943033 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Plant extracts have demonstrated the ability to act as coagulants for milk coagulation at an adequate concentration, wide temperatures and pH ranges. This research is focused on the use of different vegetative extracts such as Citrus aurnatium flower extract (CAFE), bromelain, fig latex, and melon extract as economical and beneficial coagulants in the development of plant-based cheddar-type cheese. The cheddar-type cheese samples were subjected to physicochemical analysis in comparison to controlled cheese samples made from acetic acid and rennet. The fat, moisture, protein, and salt contents remained the same over the storage period, but a slight decline was observed in pH. The Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) increased with the passage of the ripening period. The FTIR and Raman spectra showed exponential changes and qualitative estimates in the binding and vibrational structure of lipids and protein in plant-based cheeses. The higher FTIR and Raman spectra bands were observed in acid, rennet, bromelain, and CAFE due to their firm and strong texture of cheese while lower spectra were observed in cheese made from melon extract due to weak curdling and textural properties. These plant extracts are economical and easily available alternative sources for cheese production with higher protein and nutritional contents.

Abstract
Although various conductive hydrogels have been developed for sensing, ideal materials for meeting the safety and toughness requirements of food detection are still lacking. This study introduces Ion-SSPB, a conductive hydrogel fabricated from eco-friendly, food-grade materials such as corn starch (CS), sodium alginate (SA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and bentonite (BT). It leverages a green manufacturing approach designed for application in electronic food sensors. The hydrogel is achieved through a double network strategy and salt immersion method, which endows it with tunable mechanical and rheological properties. A key innovation of Ion-SSPB is the incorporation of bentonite, which enhances its performance, including low swelling, freezing resistance, and minimal residual adhesion. The hydrogel with 4% (w/v) BT concentration (Ion-SSPB4%) is an effective medium for detecting impedance changes in mangoes, correlating with their ripening stages. The Ion-SSPB hydrogel represents a significant advancement in the field of electronic food labels, combining environmental sustainability with technical efficacy.

Abstract
Citric acid (CA) is a green and safe food-grade crosslinking agent for starch, but its high crosslinking temperature limits its application. In this study, a "one-step" extrusion modification method based on Ca2+-esterification synergistic crosslinking was proposed for the preparation of high gel performance crosslinked starch at low temperatures (90 °C). The linear and nonlinear rheological properties of crosslinked starch were comprehensively characterized, and the enhancement effect of synergistic crosslinking reactions on starch gel properties was quantitatively studied. The results show that the elastic modulus of the synergistically crosslinked starch (SC-0.5Ca2+, G' = 3116 ± 36) was significantly increased by 879 % compared to the elastic modulus of starch without synergistically crosslinked modification (SC, G' = 318 ± 9). The elastic modulus of starch gels can be adjusted by changing the ion concentration. Nonlinear rheological Lissajous curve analysis results show that the synergistic crosslinked gel system has a stronger anti-deformation ability. In addition, the honeycomb porous structure and smaller pore size distribution of the synergistic crosslinked gels were characterized using scanning SEM. The XPS, FTIR and XRD results suggest that the synergistic crosslinking enhancement effect may involve various molecular forces such as electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding and ester bonding.

Formulations and assessments of structure, physical properties, and sensory attributes of soy yogurts: Effect of carboxymethyl cellulose content and degree of substitution. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128661.

Abstract
Soy yogurts present challenges, including absence of tender and slipperiness mouthfeel, and poor stability. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with degrees of substitution of 0.7 (CMC0.7) and 1.2 (CMC1.2) at concentrations ranging from 0 % to 1.1 % on the stability, microstructure, rheology, tribology, and mouthfeel of soy yogurts. As the CMC concentration increased from 0 % to 0.3 %, soy yogurts displayed a coarser microstructure, decreased stability, and increased gel strength. As the concentration of CMC further increased from 0.5 % to 1.1 %, soy yogurts exhibited trends of a smoother microstructure, increased stability, and softer gel strength. Notably, soy yogurts with CMC0.7 demonstrated a superior water holding capacity (WHC) than soy yogurts with CMC1.2. Tribological measurements indicated that soy yogurts with CMC0.7 at a 0.7 % concentration had the lowest coefficient of friction (COF) value among most sliding speeds, showing a 23 % reduction compared to soy yogurts without CMC at a sliding speed of 10 mm/s. Moreover, sensory evaluation showed that soy yogurts with CMC0.7 at a 0.7 % concentration had the highest total score in mouthfeel evaluation. Therefore, the addition of CMC0.7 within the concentration range of 0.5 % to 1.1 % may produce stable and delicate yogurts.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS High internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) have great potentials in the food industry to control fat consumption. Textural perception of HIPEs during oral processing is strongly influenced by saliva, which has not been systematically investigated. Therefore, we investigated the roles of saliva in the rheological and tribological properties of HIPEs during oral processing. EXPERIMENTS HIPEs (O/W) stabilized by oleogel and a protein were fabricated. Small (SAOS) and large (LAOS) amplitude oscillatory shearing measurements and tribological tests were performed, in combination with structural characterization of the emulsions. FINDINGS Particle size and CLSM observation indicated that saliva induced coalescence of droplets by weakening the interface and more EC resulted in faster clustering. SAOS tests revealed that emulsions mixed with saliva had weaker structural strength and lower resistance to deformation. Particularly in large deformation, the HIPEs mixed with saliva presented an acceleration in the droplet-droplet structure breakdown, which led to the pronounced strain-thinning behavior and energy dissipation. Tribological curves further revealed that the corporation of saliva contributed to the release of oil to reduce friction coefficient.

Abstract
The discharge of dye wastewater resulting from rapid industrial development has become a serious environmental concern. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop efficient methods and technologies for the removal of dye pollutants. This study introduced a double network hydrogel, with varying carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) contents and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), employing a combination of freeze- thawing and calcium chloride cross-linking. The investigation focused on the rheological properties of the hydrogels and their removal ability of acidic blue 93 (AB). The results showed that the strength and viscoelastic modulus of composite hydrogels were positively correlated with the CMCS content, and all composite hydrogels exhibited the typical weak strain overshoot behavior. The pore size of the gel initially decreased and then increased, with the densest pores observed at 4 wt% CMCS, showing the optimal removal ability for AB. The adsorption process followed pseudo second-order kinetic model, dominated by external diffusion, and exhibited inhomogeneous multilayer adsorption. This study unveils the potential of CMCS/PVA gels as adsorbents, offering inspirations for the design and development of polyvinyl alcohol-based gels for applications in the food industry.

Abstract
Crosslinking is a promising method to modulate the gel properties of food-grade starch gels. Still, the poor crosslinking effect of a single type of crosslinker limits the application of this method in starch gel modification. In this study, an Ca2+ synergistic multiple crosslinking modification method was proposed to prepare crosslinked starches with good gel properties and setting. The rheological properties of the samples were tested. The modified sample (SC-Ca-N3, G' = 1347 ± 27) showed a 79% improvement compared to the starch without synergistic crosslinking modification (SC-N, G' = 752 ± 6). The elastic modulus of starch gels can be adjusted by changing the degree of the crosslinking reaction. The results of nonlinear rheological Lissajous curve analysis showed that the synergistically crosslinked gel system strongly resisted deformation. In addition, the microstructure of the modified samples was characterized using scanning electron microscopy. The XPS, FTIR, and XRD results indicated that multiple molecular forces participate in the synergistic crosslinking reaction.

Abstract
A closed cavity rheometer was used to study the rheology of dry-fractionated mung bean protein -DFMB- (55% protein d.m.). Then, the high-moisture extrusion cooking at 40% and 50% moisture contents and different temperatures (115, 125, 135 and 145 °C) was performed, investigating the impact on structural, textural, and rheological properties of extrudates. When subjected to a temperature ramp (40-170 °C), DFMB showed an increase of G* from 70 °C, as a consequence of starch gelatinization and protein gelation. The peak, indicating the end of aggregation reactions, was at 105 °C and 110 °C for DFMB at 50% and 40% moisture content, respectively. The time sweep analysis described the protein behavior in no-shear/shear conditions, highlighting a more pronounced effect of the temperatures compared to moisture content. During the extrusion cooking, the temperature increase led to a decrease of pressure, indicating a reduction of the melt viscosity. The microstructure of the extrudates showed a more pronounced anisotropic profile when higher temperatures were applied. Hardness, chewiness, and cohesion were directly correlated with the temperature, which also affected the rheological properties of extrudates. A combination of textural and rheological analyses can offer a clear overview of the structural characteristics of meat analogues.

Abstract
High-moisture extrusion (HME) is an effective process to make fibrous products that can be used as meat analogues. In this study, the effect of extrusion of already extruded products (i.e., re-extrusion) was tested with the aim to explore the potential of rework in HME. The rework of material is important because it is a route to reduce waste, which is always produced, for example during the start or at the end of a production run. Pea and soy protein isolates (PPI and SPI) were first extruded, then freeze-dried and ground, and extruded again. The visual and textural properties of the fibrous products were evaluated. Also, the rheological properties, solubility, and water-holding capacity (WHC) of the ingredients and the products after the first and second extrusion were quantified. The obtained freeze-dried powders after the first HME cycle had a reduction in solubility of 15% for PPI and 74% for SPI. Furthermore, WHC was reduced by 65% and 17% for PPI and SPI, respectively. After the second HME cycle, the reduction in solubility and WHC was augmented to 22% and 90% for PPI, and 79% and 63% for SPI. No effect on stock and loss moduli after heating and cooling were found, even after two HME cycles. SPI fibrous products did not differ in cutting strength, anisotropy index, or visual appearance after re-extrusion. Only, a decrease in hardness was detected, from 62.0 N to 51.1 N. For PPI, re-extrusion did reduce the cutting force and hardness but not the anisotropy index. It was concluded that even though HME induces a loss of solubility and WHC, this did not affect the fibrous texture formation of the protein. This means that the texture formed during HME does not depend on the process history and that rework is thus possible for fibrous products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The poor gelling and emulsification properties of pea protein (PeaP) limit its application in gel-based products. In this study, a strong hydrogel and a high internal phase emulsion (HPLE) gel of PeaP were constructed by covalent cross-linking of transglutaminase (TGase) assisted by high-intensity ultrasound. RESULTS Ultrasound promoted the catalytic efficiency of TGase, with the gel-point temperature dropping from 44 °C to 28 °C after 10 min of ultrasound. As the ultrasound time increased from 1 min to 10 min, the microstructure of the hydrogel also changed from an irregular macropore structure to a relatively homogeneous honeycomb structure. This was accompanied by an improvement in gel strength, water holding capacity, and ultimate stress. Ultrasound enhanced the binding of water to PeaP, but had little effect on the water-locking ability of the network structure. Ultrasonication improved the self-supporting ability of the HPIE gels. The oil droplets within the HPIE gels were closely aligned to form a hexagonal structure. The PeaP layer was further cross-linked by TGase, strengthening the network structure. High internal phase emulsion gel displayed a higher gel strength, viscosity, and good self-healing ability under 1 min ultrasound. Meanwhile, HPIE gel at 1 min of ultrasound could be printed with the highest clarity. CONCLUSION This work provided some insights into improving the functional properties of PeaP, which is helpful for the design and development of PeaP-based gel products. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Nowadays, a growing offering of plant-based meat alternatives is available in the food market. Technologically, these products are produced through high-moisture shear technology. Process settings and material composition have a significant impact on the physicochemical characteristics of the final products. Throughout the process, the unfolded protein chains may be reduced, or associate in larger structures, creating rearrangement and cross-linking during the cooling stage. Generally, soy and pea proteins are the most used ingredients in plant-based meat analogues. Nevertheless, these proteins have shown poorer results with respect to the typical fibrousness and juiciness found in real meat. To address this limitation, wheat gluten is often incorporated into the formulations. This literature review highlights the key role of wheat gluten in creating products with higher anisotropy. The generation of new disulfide bonds after the addition of wheat gluten is critical to achieve the sought-after fibrous texture, whereas its incompatibility with the other protein phase present in the system is critical for the structuring process. However, allergenicity problems related to wheat gluten require alternatives, hence an evaluation of underutilized plant-based proteins has been carried out to identify those that potentially can imitate wheat gluten behavior during high-moisture shear processing.

Abstract
At present, the structural changes of extruded materials under thermal-mechanical stress during high-moisture extrusion are still unclear. In this study, the transglutaminase (TG) treatments on the structure of pea protein isolate (PPI) under conditions relevant to high-moisture extrusion processing (50 wt% PPI at 30°C, 120°C and heated to 120°C and subsequently cooled to 30°C) was studied by using a closed cavity rheometer. Strain and frequency sweeping were carried out under various temperature conditions, and the information obtained was drawn into a texture map. Lissajous curves combined with energy dissipation ratio were introduced to characterize the nonlinear response of the samples. The results showed that the storage modulus of PPI increased with the increase of TG concentration during heat treatment. After cooling to 30°C, PPI with 0.25-1%TG could enhance the elasticity, but treating by 2% TG could inhibit the formation of disulfide bonds, the uniform development of the protein network, thus showing the "tough" character. These findings can help to better understand the relationships of material-structure during the extrusion process, and also provide help for further optimization of the quality of meat substitutes.

Twin-Screw Extrusion of Oat: Evolutions of Rheological Behavior, Thermal Properties and Structures of Extruded Oat in Different Extrusion Zones. Foods 2022; 11:foods11152206.

Abstract
Further investigation of material properties during the extrusion process is essential to achieve precise control of the quality of the extrudate. Whole oat flour was used to produce low moisture puffed samples by a twin-screw extruder. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis, and rheological experiments were used to deeply characterize changes in the structure and cross-linking of oats in different extrusion zones. Results indicated that the melting region was the main region that changed oat starch, including the major transformation of oat starch crystal morphology and the significant decrease of enthalpy representing the starch pasting peak in the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) pattern (p < 0.05). Moreover, the unstable structure of the protein increased in the barrel and then decreased significantly (p < 0.05) after being extruded through the die head. The viscosity of oats increased in the cooking zone but decreased after the melting zone. A transformation occurred from elastic-dominant behavior to viscoelastic-dominant behavior for oats in the melting zone and after being extruded. This study provides further theoretical support for the research of the change of materials during extrusion and the development of oat-based food.

Abstract
The effects of two polysaccharides on the performance and microstructure of phycocyanin gels were studied by choosing anionic polysaccharides (κ-carrageenan) and neutral polysaccharides (guar gum). The linear and nonlinear rheological properties and microstructure of the phycocyanin-polysaccharide composite gel were evaluated. The results show that both κ-carrageenan and guar gum can enhance the network structure of phycocyanin gel and weaken the frequency dependence. The sample with 0.4% κ-carrageenan has the highest gel strength. All samples exhibited Type I behavior (inter-cycling strain-thinning) and mainly elastic behavior. As the concentration of κ-carrageenan increases, hydrophobic interactions and disulfide bonds play an essential role in maintaining the three-dimensional structure of the gel. Too high a concentration of guar gum hinders the formation of protein disulfide bonds. This research can provide a theoretical basis for designing and developing new food products based on phycocyanin and different polysaccharides with ideal texture in the food industry.

Abstract
The interest in plant-based meat analogues as an alternative to meat is currently growing. Rheological benchmarking is used to reveal how closely meat analogues resemble the original meat products. Texture maps and dissipation colour schemes were used to reveal similarities in and differences between rheological responses of meat and meat analogues (especially chicken analogues). Under heating, meat analogues differ in terms of their lower elasticity compared with heated meat. The changes caused by heating meat and meat analogues were different as well. Heating of meat resulted in a tougher and more elastic material, while heating has a minor effect on meat analogues. Future developments should therefore focus on routes to create more elasticity and possibly allow heating effects on texture to mimic meat characteristics even better.

Abstract
In this work, the effects of calcium chloride (CaCl2) concentration on the creep-recovery, linear and nonlinear rheological behavior of nanocellulose gels had been investigated to quantify gel properties. The absolute zeta potential of nanocellulose gels were decreased as the CaCl2 concentration increased, which was related to the electrostatic repulsion that origin from carboxyl group could be effectively screened with increasing CaCl2 concentration. Rheological measurements further confirmed this result for nanocellulose gels, which revealed that the increased modulus and viscoelastic properties were obtained in the presence of CaCl2. The rheological properties of nanocellulose gels were showed to depend on CaCl2 concentration. The enhanced gel network structure was related to the Ca2+ ions that promoted crosslink between nanocellulose by salt bridge. This work highlighted the potential of using electrostatic complexation between nanocellulose and Ca2+ ions to form gels, and demonstrated the tunability of the rheological behavior by adjusting the concentration of CaCl2.

Abstract
Plant proteins in foods are becoming increasingly popular with consumers. However, their application in extruded products remains a major challenge, as the various protein-rich raw materials (e.g., from different plant origins) exhibit very different material properties. In particular, the rheological properties of these raw materials have a distinct influence on the extrusion process and must be known in order to be able to control the process and adjust the product properties. In this study, process-relevant rheological properties of 11 plant-based protein-rich raw materials (differing in plant origin, protein content, and manufacturer) are determined and compared. The results demonstrate distinct differences in the rheological properties, even when plant origin and protein content are identical. Time sweeps reveal not only large differences in development of viscosity over time, but also in magnitude of viscosity (up to 15-fold difference). All materials exhibit gel behaviour and strain thinning behaviour in the strain sweeps, whereas their behaviour in the non-linear viscoelastic range differs greatly. Typical relaxation behaviour of viscoelastic materials could be observed in the stress relaxation tests for all materials. Comparison of the maximum achieved shear stress, which correlates with the elastic properties, reveals an up to 53-fold difference. The results of this study could serve as a starting point for adapting raw material selection and composition to process and product design requirements and help to meet the challenge of applying plant-based proteins in food extrusion.

Abstract
Grain protein fractions have great potential as ingredients that contain high amounts of valuable nutritional components. The aim of this study was to study the rheological behavior of destarched oat and pea proteins and their blends in extrusion-like conditions with a closed cavity rheometer. Additionally, the possibility of producing fibrous structures with high-moisture extrusion from a blend of destarched oat and pea protein was investigated. In the temperature sweep measurement (60-160 °C) of the destarched oat protein concentrate and pea protein isolate blend, three denaturation and polymerization sections were observed. In addition, polymerization as a function of time was recorded in the time sweep measurements. The melting temperature of grain proteins was an important factor when producing texturized structures with a high-moisture extrusion. The formation of fibrillar structures was investigated with high-moisture extrusion from the destarched oat and pea protein blend at temperatures ranging from 140 to 170 °C. The protein-protein interactions were significantly influenced in the extruded samples. This was due to a decrease in the amount of extractable protein in selective buffers. In particular, there was a decrease in non-covalent and covalent bonds due to the formation of insoluble protein complexes.

Abstract
High moisture extrusion (HME) of meat analogues is often performed with raw materials containing multiple components, e.g., blends of different protein-rich raw materials. For instance, blends of soy protein isolate (SPI) and another component, such as wheat gluten, are used particularly frequently. The positive effect of blending on product texture is well known but not yet well understood. Therefore, this work targets investigating the influence of blending in HME at a mechanistic level. For this, SPI and a model protein, whey protein concentrate (WPC), were blended at three different ratios (100:0, 85:15, 70:30) and extruded at typical HME conditions (55% water content, 115/125/133 °C material temperature). Process conditions, rheological properties, morphology development, product structure and product texture were analysed. With increasing WPC percentage, the anisotropic structures became more pronounced and the anisotropy index (AI) higher. The achieved AI from the extrudates with a ratio of 70:30 (SPI:WPC) were considerably higher than comparable extrudates reported in other studies. In all extrudates, a multiphase system was visible whose morphology had changed due to the WPC addition. The WPC led to the formation of a much smaller dispersed phase compared to the overlying multiphase structure, the size of which depends on the thermomechanical stresses. These findings demonstrate that targeted mixing of protein-rich raw materials could be a promising method to tailor the texture of extruded meat analogues.

Abstract
The modern food system is seeing a change in consumption patterns provoked by several drivers—including ethical, health, and environmental concerns—that are increasing the sales of meat analog foods. This change is accompanied by increased research and development activities in the area of plant-based meats. The aim of the present review is to describe methods that are being employed by scientists to analyze and characterize the properties of meat alternatives and to propose standardized methods that could be utilized in the future. In particular, methods to determine the proximate composition, microstructure, appearance, textural properties, water-holding properties, cooking resilience, and sensory attributes, of plant-based meat are given. The principles behind these methods are presented, their utility is critically assessed, and practical examples will be discussed. This article will help to guide further studies and to choose appropriate methods to assess raw materials, processes, products, and consumption behavior of meat analogs.

Abstract
Consumption of plant-based meat analogues offers a way to reduce the environmental footprint of the human diet. High-moisture extrusion cooking (HMEC) and shear cell processing both rely on thermo-mechanical treatment of proteins to product fibrous meat-like products. However, the mechanisms underlying these processes are not well understood. In this review we discuss the effect of thermo-mechanical processing on the physicochemical properties and phase behavior of proteins and protein mixtures. The HMEC and shear cell processes are comparable in their basic unit operations, which are (1) mixing and hydration, (2) thermo-mechanical treatment, and (3) cooling. An often overlooked part of the extruder that could be crucial to fibrillation is the so-called breaker plate, which is situated between the barrel and die sections. We found a lack of consensus on the effect of heat on protein-protein interactions, and that the experimental tools to study protein-protein interactions are limited. The different mechanisms for structure formation proposed in literature all consider the deformation and alignment of the melt. However, the mechanisms differ in their underlying assumptions. Further investigation using novel and dedicated tools is required to fully understand these thermo-mechanical processes.
