Food Chem 2024; 460:140559. [PMID: 39047469 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, physical technologies have been widely employed to reduce food protein allergenicity due to their simplicity and stability. This paper summarizes recent research advances in these technologies, focusing on differences in their effects on allergenicity between animal and alternative proteins. The mechanisms of allergenicity reduction and the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies were compared. It was found that heating, although affording better allergenicity reduction than non-thermal treatment technologies, affects other properties of the food. Because of their higher molecular weights and more complex structures, animal proteins are less affected by physical technologies than alternative proteins. It is worth noting that there is a scarcity of existing technology to reduce the allergenicity of food proteins, and more technologies should be explored for this purpose. In addition, better allergenicity-reducing processing technologies should be designed from the perspectives of processing conditions, technological innovations, and combined processing technologies in the future.

Food Chem 2024; 457:140399. [PMID: 39029314 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
The typically low solubility and gelation capacity of plant proteins can impose challenges in the design of high-quality plant-based foods. The acid used during the precipitation step of plant protein isolate extraction can influence protein functionality. Here, acetic acid and citric acid were used to extract quinoa protein isolate (QPI) from quinoa flour, as these acids are more kosmotropic than the commonly used HCl, promoting the stabilisation of the native protein structure. While proximate analysis showed that total protein was similar for the three isolates, precipitation with kosmotropic acids increased soluble protein, which correlated positively with gel strength. Microstructure analysis revealed that these gels contained a less porous protein network with lipid droplet inclusions. This study shows that the choice of precipitation acid offers an opportunity to tailor the properties of quinoa protein isolate for application, a strategy that is likely applicable to other plant protein isolates.

Othmeni I, Karoui R, Blecker C. Impact of pH on the structure, interfacial and foaming properties of pea protein isolate: Investigation of the structure - Function relationship. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 278:134818. [PMID: 39154679 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2024] [Revised: 08/03/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
This study explored the relationship between pea protein foaming properties and their structure and physicochemical properties under neutral and acidic pH. Results showed that pH modified the zeta potential, particle size and surface tension due to electrostatic changes. FT-MIR and fluorescence spectra revealed pH-induced conformational changes, exposing hydrophobic groups and increasing sulfhydryl content, promoting protein aggregation. At pH 3, the highest foaming capacity (1.273) and lowest foam expansion (6.967) were observed, associated with increased surface hydrophobicity and net charges, ideal for creating light foams with high liquid incorporation for acidic beverages or fruit-based mousses. Pea protein isolate generated stable foams with foam volume stability between 86.662 % and 94.255 %. Although neutral pH conditions showed the highest foam volume stability, their air bubbles increased in size and transitioned from spherical to polyhedral shape, suitable for visual-centric applications, like cappuccino foam and beer-head retention. Foams at pH 5 exhibited the smallest bubbles and maintained their spherical shape, enhancing drainage resistance, beneficial for whipped toppings. Strong correlations (Pearson correlation coefficient higher than 0.600) were noted between the structure, surface and foaming properties, providing crucial insights into optimizing pea protein functionality across various pH conditions, enabling the development of plant-based foamed products with tailored properties.

Abstract
Textured vegetable proteins (TVP) are an alternative to meet the increasing demand for non-animal food. This study aimed to develop a TVP from mixtures with 45 % pea protein isolate (PPI) enriched with amaranth (AF) and oat (OF) flours using high-moisture extrusion technology (HME) varying the moisture (50-70 %) and the temperature in the second heating zone of the extruder (110-140 °C). After extrusion, all samples demonstrated higher values of water absorption capacity (WAC) than non-extruded mixtures. Mixture of AF:OF:PPI (40:15:45 %) extruded at 60 % moisture and 135 °C showed promising functional properties with WAC and WSI values of 3.2 ± 0.2 g H2O/g and 24.89 ± 2.31 %, respectively, and oil absorption capacity (OAC) of 1.3 g oil/g. The extrusion process altered the thermal and structural properties of proteins promoting a desirable fibrous structure. This confirms the feasibility of using HME to develop TVP based on PPI, AF, and OF.

[PMID: 39197192 PMCID: PMC11396366 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.107039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2024] [Revised: 08/16/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024]
Abstract
Melon seeds have received considerable attention in recent years because of their high protein content, but they have not yet been fully used. The modification of melon seed protein (MSP) using ultrasound-assisted pH-shifting treatment was investigated in this study by analyzing structural characteristics and functional properties. The particle size, free sulfhydryl content, surface hydrophobicity, solubility, secondary structure, water-holding capacity, oil-holding capacity, emulsification activity index, and emulsification stability index of MSP were determined. MSP treated with ultrasound-assisted, pH-shifting had a smaller particle size, lower free sulfhydryl content, higher surface hydrophobicity, and solubility increased from 43.67 % to 89.12 %. The secondary structure of MSP was affected by ultrasonic treatment, manifesting as an α-helix increase and β-helix, β-turn, and random coil content decrease, which may be the reason why the protein structure became more compact after treatment. The water and oil holding capacities of MSP increased from 2.74 g/g and 3.14 g/g in untreated samples to 3.19 g/g and 3.97 g/g for ultrasound-treated samples, and further increased to 3.97 g/g and 5.02 g/g for ultrasound-assisted, pH-shifting treatment at pH 9.0, respectively. The emulsification activity index of MSP was 21.11 m2/g before treatment and reached a maximum of 32.34 m2/g after ultrasound-assisted, pH-shifting treatment at pH 9.0. The emulsification stability of MSP was maximized by ultrasonic treatment at pH 7.0. Ultrasound-assisted, pH-shifting treatment can effectively improve the functional properties of MSP by modifying the protein structure, which improves the potential application of melon seed protein in the food industry.

Investigating the impact of ultrasound-assisted treatment on the crafting of mulberry leaf protein and whey isolate complex: A comprehensive analysis of structure and functionality. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 108:106983.

Abstract
Mulberry leaf protein (MLP) is a nutrient-rich protein, but its applicability is limited because of its poor solubility. To address this issue, this study combines MLP with whey protein isolates (WPI), known for the high nutritional value, and subsequently forms composite protein nanoparticles using the ultrasound-assisted pH shifting method. Microscopic observation and SDS-PAGE confirmed the binding between these two proteins. Fluorescence spectra and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis supported the involvement of electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic attractions, and hydrogen bonding in the formation of stable complex nanoparticles. The interactions between the proteins became stronger after ultrasound-assisted pH-shifting treatment. Solubility, emulsification capacity, foaming, and antioxidant activity, among other indicators, demonstrate that the prepared composite nanoparticles exhibit favorable functional properties. The study successfully illustrates the creation of protein-based complex nanoparticles through the ultrasound-assisted pH shifting method, with potential applications in the delivery of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Plant-based proteins offer sustainable and nutritious alternatives to animal proteins with their techno-functional attributes influencing product quality and designer food development. Due to the inherent complexities of plant proteins, proper extraction and modifications are vital for their effective utilization. This review highlights the emerging sources of plant-based proteins, and the recent statistics of the techniques employed for pretreatment, extraction, and modifications. The pretreatment, extraction and modification approach to modify plant proteins have been classified, addressed, and the recent applications of such methodologies are duly indicated. Furthermore, this study furnishes novel perspectives regarding the potential impacts of emerging technologies on the intricate dynamics of plant proteins. A thorough review of 100 articles (2018-2024) shows the researchers' keen interest in investigating novel plant proteins and how they can be used; seeds being the main source for protein extraction, followed by legumes. Use of by-products as a protein source is increasing rapidly, which is noteworthy. Protein studies still lack knowledge on protein fraction, antinutrients, and pretreatments. The use of physical methods and their combination with other techniques are increasing for effective and environmentally friendly extraction and modification of plant proteins. Several studies explore the effect of protein changes on their function and nutrition, especially with a goal of replacing ingredients with plant proteins that have improved or enhanced qualities. However, the next step is to investigate the sophisticated modification methods for deeper insights into food safety and toxicity.

Abstract
This study investigated the possibility of using amaranth protein isolate (API) as a plant-based substitute for egg yolk (EY) in the preparation of low-fat mayonnaise (LFM). The alkali extraction/acidic precipitation method was used to isolate amaranth protein; its functional properties were then studied. The results showed that besides its great water and oil absorption capacities, API had better emulsifying capacity and significantly higher (p < .05) emulsion stability at pH 2.0 than alkali pH values. Five mayonnaise samples with different API/EY combination ratios (%) (i.e., 0/0.75, 0.25/0.5, 0.375/0.375, 0.5/0.25, and 0.75/0) were prepared. The color, emulsion stability (ES), freeze-thaw stability (FTS), droplet size, structure, rheology, and sensory properties of samples were examined. API replacement showed no adverse effects on the L* value, ES, and sensory attributes (p > .05). Low API concentrations (0.25% and 0.375%) significantly (p < .05) increased the droplet size and decreased the FTS of LFM emulsion. High API concentrations (0.5% and 0.75%) had no significant effect (p > .05) on droplet size and formed emulsions with more tightly packed oil droplets. The Cross model was chosen best to describe the flow behavior of LFM samples (R 2 = 0.99). The sample with 0.75% API had significantly (p < .05) the highest values of η o (zero-shear viscosity) and λ (relaxation time), indicating greater interaction between the emulsion particles. All samples showed a weak gel structure (G' > G"). In conclusion, API can be considered an appropriate substitute for EY in LFM production, which can benefit human health and offer a new strategy for preparing vegan products.

Abstract
The chemical compositions, intermolecular interactions, and functional properties of guar germ proteins (GGP) were investigated at different extraction pH (7 to 11). The protein efficiency ratio, essential amino acid index (46.53), predicted biological value (39.02), nutritional index (42.67), and protein purity (91.69 %) were found to be highest at pH 9. The in-vitro protein digestibility of GGP sample was highest at pH 11. From SDS-PAGE, the band intensity (<10 kDa) became thinner with an increase in extraction pH from 7 to 9 and then thicker. Meanwhile, smallest particle size and weaker ionic and hydrogen bonds were found at pH 11. The β-sheet content was more dominating in GGP samples. Moreover, higher denaturation temperatures of GGP samples indicated that protein molecules had a compact tertiary structure. Furthermore, the GGP extracted at pH 7 showed better functional properties. The principal component analysis suggested that pH 9 was more suitable for isolating GGP.

Abstract
A pH shift treatment aided by high pressure homogenization (HPH) with various pressures (0-120 MPa) was employed to structurally modify hempseed protein isolate (HPI). Compared with individual pH shift or HPH treatment, HPH-assisted pH shift improved the structural flexibility of HPI, as revealed by the increased random coil in protein secondary structure. With the incorporation of HPH into pH shift, the intrinsic fluorescence intensity was remarkably attenuated and redshifted, whereas the surface hydrophobicity was pronouncedly boosted, indicating the extensive unfolding of protein structure. Moreover, the cotreated HPI exhibited a smaller and more homogenous particle size, notably at a higher pressure. Consequently, the solubility was drastically raised by the cooperated treatments, to the maximum value (62.8 %) at 120 MPa. These physicochemical changes in the cotreated HPI facilitated a consolidated interfacial activity. Moreover, the cooperated treatment, especially highly pressured (120 MPa), facilitated the penetration and rearrangement of proteins at the oil-water interface.

Abstract
The molecular structure and morphologies of complex colloidal particles with modified glycine (S-11S) and d-galactose were studied by multispectral, microscopic imaging and chromatographic techniques at different temperatures, and the self-assembly and aggregation mechanisms were determined. Overall, high-temperature-treated S-11S and d-galactose associate at cysteine and phenylalanine sites and self-assemble into colloidal particles of greater stability than glycinin and S-11S via ionic and disulfide bonds. The structure and subunit content of composite colloidal particles were changed. Assessing the sub-microstructure reveals that temperature can regulate the directional aggregation of complex colloidal particles. The elasticity of the complex colloidal particles is maximum enhanced at 95 ℃ as confirmed by the rheological. Thus, the heat-treated aggregation of the soy protein and its complex was evaluated to provide a new theoretical basis for the application of soy protein in gels and other areas and contribute to the design of new soy protein products.

[PMID: 38790810 PMCID: PMC11121546 DOI: 10.3390/foods13101511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Unsaturated fat replacement should be used to reduce the use of saturated fat and trans fatty acids in the diet. In this study, pea protein micro-gels (PPMs) with different structures were prepared by microparticulation at pH 4.0-7.0 and named as PPM (pH 4.0), PPM (pH 4.5), PPM (pH 5.0), PPM (pH 5.5), PPM (pH 6.0), PPM (pH 6.5), and PPM (pH 7.0). Pea protein was used as a control to evaluate the structure and interfacial properties of PPMs by particle size distribution, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), free sulfhydryl group content, and emulsifying property. PPM (pH 7.0) was suitable for application in O/W emulsion stabilization because of its proper particle size, more flexible structure, high emulsifying activity index (EAI) and emulsifying stability index (ESI). The Pickering emulsion stabilized by PPM (pH 7.0) had a uniform oil droplet distribution and similar rheological properties to cream, so it can be used as a saturated fat replacement in the manufacture of ice cream. Saturated fat was partially replaced at different levels of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%, which were respectively named as PR0, PR20, PR40, PR60, PR80, and PR100. The rheological properties, physicochemical indexes, and sensory properties of low-saturated fat ice cream show that PPM (pH 7.0)-stabilized emulsion can be used to substitute 60% cream to manufacture low-saturated fat ice cream that has high structural stability and similar melting properties, overrun, and sensory properties to PR0. The article shows that it is feasible to prepare low-saturated fat ice cream with PPM (pH 7.0)-stabilized Pickering emulsion, which can not only maintain the fatty acid profile of the corn oil used, but also possess a solid-like structure. Its application is of positive significance for the development of nutritious and healthy foods and the reduction of chronic disease incidence.

Abstract
Amaranth proteins can be produced more sustainably than animal proteins, and they have amino acid compositions that are nutritionally balanced, which makes them attractive candidates for various applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. This article provides an overview of the composition and techno-functional properties of amaranth protein, including its solubility, emulsification, gelation, foaming, and binding properties. These properties play an important role in the use of amaranth proteins for formulating nanoparticle-based delivery systems with good functional attributes. Amaranth proteins have structural and physicochemical properties suitable for fabricating protein-based nanoparticles. These nanoparticles can be used to encapsulate and control the release of bioactive compounds. However, challenges associated with the presence of anti-nutritional factors in amaranth proteins need to be addressed. These antinutrients negatively affect the bioavailability and digestibility of proteins and bioactive compounds. Hence, strategies to mitigate these challenges are discussed, including processing technologies and genetic engineering methods.

Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction of Dictyophora rubrovolvata Volva Proteins: Process Optimization, Structural Characterization, Intermolecular Forces, and Functional Properties. Foods 2024; 13:1265. [PMID: 38672937 PMCID: PMC11049406 DOI: 10.3390/foods13081265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Dictyophora rubrovolvata volva, an agricultural by-product, is often directly discarded resulting in environmental pollution and waste of the proteins' resources. In this study, D. rubrovolvata volva proteins (DRVPs) were recovered using the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method. Based on one-way tests, orthogonal tests were conducted to identify the effects of the material-liquid ratio, pH, extraction time, and ultrasonic power on the extraction rate of DRVPs. Moreover, the impact of UAE on the physicochemical properties, structure characteristics, intermolecular forces, and functional attributes of DRVPs were also examined. The maximum protein extraction rate was achieved at 43.34% under the best extraction conditions of UAE (1:20 g/mL, pH 11, 25 min, and 550 W). UAE significantly altered proteins' morphology and molecular size compared to the conventional alkaline method. Furthermore, while UAE did not affect the primary structure, it dramatically changed the secondary and tertiary structure of DRVPs. Approximately 13.42% of the compact secondary structures (α-helices and β-sheets) underwent a transition to looser structures (β-turns and random coils), resulting in the exposure of hydrophobic groups previously concealed within the molecule's core. In addition, the driving forces maintaining and stabilizing the sonicated protein aggregates mainly involved hydrophobic forces, disulfide bonding, and hydrogen bonding interactions. Under specific pH and temperature conditions, the water holding capacity, oil holding capacity, foaming capacity and stability, emulsion activity, and stability of UAE increased significantly from 2.01 g/g to 2.52 g/g, 3.90 g/g to 5.53 g/g, 92.56% to 111.90%, 58.97% to 89.36%, 13.85% to 15.37%, and 100.22% to 136.53%, respectively, compared to conventional alkali extraction. The findings contributed to a new approach for the high-value utilization of agricultural waste from D. rubrovolvata.

The structural characteristics and physicochemical properties of mung bean protein hydrolysate of protamex induced by ultrasound. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:3665-3675.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The limited physicochemical properties (such as low foaming and emulsifying capacity) of mung bean protein hydrolysate restrict its application in the food industry. Ultrasound treatment could change the structures of protein hydrolysate to accordingly affect its physicochemical properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ultrasound treatment on the structural and physicochemical properties of mung bean protein hydrolysate of protamex (MBHP). The structural characteristics of MBHP were evaluated using tricine sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, laser scattering, fluorescence spectrometry, etc. Solubility, fat absorption capacity and foaming, emulsifying and thermal properties were determined to characterize the physicochemical properties of MBHP. RESULTS MBHP and ultrasonicated-MBHPs (UT-MBHPs) all contained five main bands of 25.8, 12.1, 5.6, 4.8 and 3.9 kDa, illustrating that ultrasound did not change the subunits of MBHP. Ultrasound treatment increased the contents of α-helix, β-sheet and random coil and enhanced the intrinsic fluorescence intensity of MBHP, but decreased the content of β-turn, which demonstrated that ultrasound modified the secondary and tertiary structures of MBHP. UT-MBHPs exhibited higher solubility, foaming capacity and emulsifying properties than MBHP, among which MBHP-330 W had the highest solubility (97.32%), foaming capacity (200%), emulsification activity index (306.96 m2 g-1 ) and emulsion stability index (94.80%) at pH 9.0. CONCLUSION Ultrasound treatment enhanced the physicochemical properties of MBHP, which could broaden its application as a vital ingredient in the food industry. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In this study, alkaline pH-shifting modified the globular structure of mung bean protein isolate (MBPI) to form flexible and stretched structures. In contrast, acidic pH-shifting increased the rigidity of MBPI. The increased flexibility (at the level of the secondary structure) and newly exposed intermolecular amino acid groups induced by alkaline pH-shifting improved the water holding capacity and gelation properties of proteins. Specifically, MBPI treated at pH 12 (MP12) showed the most flexible structure and highest water holding capacity and gel formation properties (least gelation concentration). The water-holding capacity of native MBPI increased from 1.56 g/g to 4.81 g/g, and its least gelation concentration decreased from 22 % to 15 % by pH-shifting at pH 12. Furthermore, MP12 formed stronger and more elastic heat-induced gels than native MBPI. We identified significant differences in the structural properties and water holding capacity, and gelation properties of acidic and alkaline pH-shifted MBPI and investigated the gelation properties of MP12 including rheological and morphological analyses. Our findings can facilitate the use of mung beans as a protein source in a wide range of food applications, including plant-based and processed meats.

Abstract
Ultrasonic technology is a non-isothermal processing technology that can be used to modify the physicochemical properties of food ingredients. This study investigated the effects of ultrasonic time (5 min, 10 min, 15 min) and power (150 W,300 W,500 W) on the structural properties of three types of phospholipids composed of different fatty acids (milk fat globule membrane phospholipid (MPL), egg yolk lecithin (EYL), soybean lecithin (SL)) and milk fat globule membrane protein (MFGMP). We found that the ultrasound treatment changed the conformation of the protein, and the emulsions prepared by the pretreatment showed better emulsification and stability, the lipid droplets were also more evenly distributed. Meanwhile, the flocculation phenomenon of the lipid droplets was significantly improved compared with the non-ultrasonic emulsions. Compared with the three complexes, it was found that ultrasound had the most significant effect on the properties of MPL-MFGMP, and its emulsion state was the most stable. When the ultrasonic condition was 300 W, the particle size of the emulsion decreased significantly (from 441.50 ± 4.79 nm to 321.77 ± 9.91 nm) at 15 min, and the physical stability constants KE decreased from 14.49 ± 0.702 % to 9.4 ± 0.261 %. It can be seen that proper ultrasonic pretreatment can effectively improve the stability of the system. At the same time, the emulsification performance of the emulsion had also been significantly improved. While the accumulation phenomenon occurred when the ultrasonic power was 150 W and 500 W. These results showed that ultrasonic pretreatment had great potential to improve the properties of emulsions, and this study would provide a theoretical basis for the application of emulsifier in the emulsions.

Abstract
Plant-based proteins, represented by amaranth in our study, embrace a potential as an ingredient for the functional-food formulation. However, their efficacy is hindered by inherent limitations in solubility, emulsification, and antioxidant traits. The Maillard reaction, a complex chemical-process resulting in a diverse array of products, including Maillard conjugates and Maillard reaction products (MRPs), can employ variable effects on these specific attributes. To elucidate the influence of this reaction and the MRPs on the aforementioned properties, we used a complex blend of dehydrated seaweed Gracilaria and amaranth protein to create a conjugate-MRP blend. Our investigations revealed that the resultant incorporation enhanced solubility, emulsification, and antioxidant properties, while the intermediates formed did not progress to advanced glycation stages. This change is likely attributed to the dual effect of conjugates that altered the secondary protein structure, while the generation and/or preservation of MRPs post ultrasonication and spray drying enhanced its antioxidant potential.

Properties of Heat-Assisted pH Shifting and Compounded Chitosan from Insoluble Rice Peptide Precipitate and Its Application in the Curcumin-Loaded Pickering Emulsions. Foods 2023; 12:4384.

Abstract
Curcumin exhibits antioxidant and antitumor properties, but its poor chemical stability limits its application. Insoluble peptide precipitates formed by proteolysis of rice glutelin are usually discarded, resulting in resource waste. The coupled treatment of heat-assisted pH shifting and compounded chitosan (CS) was used to fabricate rice peptide aggregate-chitosan complexes (RPA-CS). The structure, interfacial behavior, emulsion properties, and digestibility of curcumin-loaded RPA-CS Pickering emulsions were investigated. Increasing the CS concentration led to lower interfacial tension but larger particle size, and the three-phase contact angle of the RPA-CS complexes approached 90°. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) indicated that RPA-CS complexes with 6 g·kg-1 of CS (RPA-CS6) had the highest K1 (0.592 × 106 Hz-1) and K4 (0.487 × 106 Hz-1), suggesting that the softest interfacial layers were formed. The solid-liquid balance of RPA-RPA-CS emulsions was lower than 0.5, declaring that they had more elastic behavior than that of RPA emulsions. RPA-RPA-CS4-and RPA-CS6 emulsions had better storage stability, lower FFA release (79.8% and 76.3%, respectively), and higher curcumin bioaccessibility (65.2% and 68.2%, respectively) than RPA emulsions. This study showed that a low-value insoluble rice peptide precipitate could be used as a valuable emulsifier in foods, which may increase the economics and sustainability of the food supply.

An Overview of Ingredients Used for Plant-Based Meat Analogue Production and Their Influence on Structural and Textural Properties of the Final Product. Gels 2023; 9:921. [PMID: 38131907 PMCID: PMC10743084 DOI: 10.3390/gels9120921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Plant-based meat analogues are food products made from vegetarian or vegan ingredients that are intended to mimic taste, texture and appearance of meat. They are becoming increasingly popular as people look for more sustainable and healthy protein sources. Furthermore, plant-based foods are marketed as foods with a low carbon footprint and represent a contribution of the consumers and the food industry to a cleaner and a climate-change-free Earth. Production processes of plant-based meat analogues often include technologies such as 3D printing, extrusion or shear cell where the ingredients have to be carefully picked because of their influence on structural and textural properties of the final product, and, in consequence, consumer perception and acceptance of the plant-based product. This review paper gives an extensive overview of meat analogue components, which affect the texture and the structure of the final product, discusses the complex interaction of those ingredients and reflects on numerous studies that have been performed in that area, but also emphasizes the need for future research and optimization of the mixture used in plant-based meat analogue production, as well as for optimization of the production process.

The Effect of Germination and Fermentation on the Physicochemical, Nutritional, and Functional Quality Attributes of Samh Seeds. Foods 2023; 12:4133. [PMID: 38002190 PMCID: PMC10669962 DOI: 10.3390/foods12224133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of fermentation and germination on the physicochemical, nutritional, functional, and bioactive quality attributes of samh seeds. Regardless of the processing treatment, samh seeds were found to be a rich source of phenolic compounds, namely gallic acid (79.6-96.36 mg/100 g DW), catechol (56.34-77.34 mg/100 g DW), and catechin (49.15-84.93 mg/100 g DW), and they possessed high DPPH antiradical activity (65.27-78.39%). They also contained high protein content (19.29-20.41%), essential amino acids content (39.07-44.16% of total amino acids), and unsaturated fatty acid content (81.95-83.46% of total fatty acids) and a low glycemic index (39.61-41.43). Fermentation and germination increased L*, b*, foaming capacity, oil absorption capacity (OAC), water absorption capacity (WAC), swelling power, microbial counts, antioxidant activity, total flavonoid content (TFC), total phenolic content (TPC), in vitro protein digestibility, protein efficiency ratio, and total essential amino acids and reduced water solubility, emulsion stability, tannin, and phytate contents compared to raw samh seeds (p < 0.05). The highest levels of pH, ash, carbohydrate, fiber, and glycemic index were observed in raw samh seeds, and both germination and fermentation processes reduced these attributes to various degrees (p < 0.05). Germination increased the redness (a*), moisture content, essential and non-essential amino acids, potassium, zinc, phosphorous, stearic acid, and oleic and unsaturated fatty acids and reduced total solids, fat content, iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, sodium, palmitic acid, and total saturated fatty acids of the samh seeds compared to the raw ones. Fermentation increased the total solid, acidity, fat, protein, calcium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorous, iron, zinc, palmitic acid, and total saturated fatty acids and reduced the a* value, moisture, non-essential amino acids, and total unsaturated fatty acids of the samh seeds compared to the raw ones. In conclusion, samh seeds are a rich source of nutrients that could generally be enhanced by germination and fermentation processes. The reported information facilitates strategies towards the application of these underutilized seeds in foods.

Abstract
The latest RNA genomic mutation of SARS-CoV-2 virus, termed the Omicron variant, has generated a stream of highly contagious and antibody-resistant strains, which in turn led to classifying Omicron as a variant of concern. We systematically collected Raman spectra from six Omicron subvariants available in Japan (i.e., BA.1.18, BA.2, BA.4, BA.5, XE, and BA.2.75) and applied machine-learning algorithms to decrypt their structural characteristics at the molecular scale. Unique Raman fingerprints of sulfur-containing amino acid rotamers, RNA purines and pyrimidines, tyrosine phenol ring configurations, and secondary protein structures clearly differentiated the six Omicron subvariants. These spectral characteristics, which were linked to infectiousness, transmissibility, and propensity for immune evasion, revealed evolutionary motifs to be compared with the outputs of genomic studies. The availability of a Raman "metabolomic snapshot", which was then translated into a barcode to enable a prompt subvariant identification, opened the way to rationalize in real-time SARS-CoV-2 activity and variability. As a proof of concept, we applied the Raman barcode procedure to a nasal swab sample retrieved from a SARS-CoV-2 patient and identified its Omicron subvariant by coupling a commercially available magnetic bead technology with our newly developed Raman analyses.

Abstract
The popularity of plant-based proteins has increased, and mung bean protein (MBP) has gained immense attention due to its high yield, nutritional value, and health benefits. MBP is rich in lysine and has a highly digestible indispensable amino acid score. Dry and wet extractions are used to extract MBP flours and concentrates/isolates, respectively. To enhance the quality of commercial MBP flours, further research is needed to refine the purity of MBPs using dry extraction methods. Furthermore, MBP possesses various biological potential and techno-functional properties, but its use in food systems is limited by some poor functionalities, such as solubility. Physical, biological, and chemical technologies have been used to improve the techno-functional properties of MBP, which has expanded its applications in traditional foods and novel fields, such as microencapsulation, three-dimensional printing, meat analogs, and protein-based films. However, study on each modification technique remains inadequate. Future research should prioritize exploring the impact of these modifications on the biological potential of MBP and its internal mechanisms of action. This review aims to provide ideas and references for future research and the development of MBP processing technology.

Abstract
African oil bean (Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth) is an underutilised edible oil seed that could represent a sustainable protein source. In this study, the impact of ultrasonication on the extraction efficiency and properties of protein from African oil bean (AOB) seeds was evaluated. The increase in the duration of extraction favoured the extraction of AOB proteins. This was observed by an increase in extraction yield from 24% to 42% (w/w) when the extraction time was increased from 15 min to 60 min. Desirable properties were observed in extracted AOB proteins; the amino acid profile of protein isolates revealed higher ratios of hydrophobic to hydrophilic amino acids compared to those of the defatted seeds, suggesting alterations in their functional properties. This was also supported by the higher proportion of hydrophobic amino acids and high surface hydrophobicity index value (3813) in AOB protein isolates. The foaming capacity of AOB proteins was above 200%, with an average foaming stability of 92%. The results indicate that AOB protein isolates can be considered promising food ingredients and could help stimulate the growth of the food industry in tropical Sub-Saharan regions where AOB seeds thrive.

Abstract
Amaranthus grains have attracted great attention due to its attractive health benefits. The grains have processing properties (e.g., starch related properties) similar to those of common cereals. Amaranth grains are gluten free and protein is a significant component of these grains. Proteins of the grains have been used in various food applications such as formulations of edible films and emulsions for controlled release of bioactive compounds. The proteins have been hydrolyzed using different enzymes to produce peptides and hydrolysates, which showed a range of biological functions including anti-hypertensive and antioxidant activities among others. They have been formulated into staple foods including breads and pastas for improved nutritional quality. This review summarizes the recent advances of the last 5 years in understanding the biological functions and food applications of proteins, protein hydrolysates and peptides from the grains of different Amaranthus species. Limitations in the studies summarized are critically discussed with an aim to improve the efficiency in amaranth grain protein and peptide research.

Abstract
Millets are small-seeded crops which have been well adopted globally owing to their high concentration of macro and micronutrients such as protein, dietary fibre, essential fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. Considering their climate resilience and potential role in nutritional and health security, the year 2023 has been declared as 'International Year of Millets' by the United Nations. Cereals being the major nutrient vehicle for a majority population, and proteins being the second most abundant nutrient in millets, these grains can be a suitable alternative for plant-based proteins. Therefore, this review was written with an aim to succinctly provide an overview of the available literature take on the characterization, processing and applications of millet-based proteins. This information would play an important role in realizing the research gap restricting the utilization of complete potential of millet proteins. This can be further used by researchers and food industries for understanding the scope of millet proteins as an ingredient for novel food product development.

Abstract
Proteins from alternative sources including terrestrial and aquatic plants, microbes and insects are being increasingly explored to combat the dietary, environmental and ethical challenges linked primarily to conventional sources of protein, mainly meat and dairy proteins. Ultrasound (US) technologies have emerged as a clean, green and efficient methods for the extraction of proteins from alternative sources compared to conventional methods. However, the application of US can also lead to modifications of the proteins extracted from alternative sources, including changes in their nutritional quality (protein content, amino acid composition, protein digestibility, anti-nutritional factors) and allergenicity, as well as damage of the compounds associated with an increased degradation resulting from extreme US processing conditions. This work aims to summarise the main advances in US equipment currently available to date, including the main US parameters and their effects on the extraction of protein from alternative sources, as well as the studies available on the effects of US processing on the nutritional value, allergenicity and degradation damage of these alternative protein ingredients. The main research gaps identified in this work and future challenges associated to the widespread application of US and their scale-up to industry operations are also covered in detail.

Abstract
The food industry has recently been under unprecedented pressure due to major global challenges, such as climate change, exponential increase in world population and urbanization, and the worldwide spread of new diseases and pandemics, such as the COVID-19. The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) has been gaining momentum since 2015 and has revolutionized the way in which food is produced, transported, stored, perceived, and consumed worldwide, leading to the emergence of new food trends. After reviewing Industry 4.0 technologies (e.g. artificial intelligence, smart sensors, robotics, blockchain, and the Internet of Things) in Part I of this work (Hassoun, Aït-Kaddour, et al. 2022. The fourth industrial revolution in the food industry-Part I: Industry 4.0 technologies. Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 1-17.), this complimentary review will focus on emerging food trends (such as fortified and functional foods, additive manufacturing technologies, cultured meat, precision fermentation, and personalized food) and their connection with Industry 4.0 innovations. Implementation of new food trends has been associated with recent advances in Industry 4.0 technologies, enabling a range of new possibilities. The results show several positive food trends that reflect increased awareness of food chain actors of the food-related health and environmental impacts of food systems. Emergence of other food trends and higher consumer interest and engagement in the transition toward sustainable food development and innovative green strategies are expected in the future.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2022; 88:106099. [PMID: 35907333 PMCID: PMC9352455 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.106099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
The most important factors restricting research and application in the food industry are the poor solubility and emulsification of pea protein isolate (PPI). This study investigates the effect of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU, 0-600 W) and pH-shifting treatment, alone or combined, on the structure, solubility, and emulsification of PPI, as well as its potential mechanism. The results revealed that the PPI solubility significantly increases when treated with the combination, corresponding to a decrease in the protein particle size, especially at 500 W of HIU power (p < 0.05). Correspondingly, the emulsion prepared from it was less prone to phase separation during storage. According to the structural analysis, the structural changes caused by protein unfolding (i.e., the exposure of hydrophobic and polar sites and the loss of the α-helix) seemed to be the primary reasons for increased PPI solubility. In addition, confocal laser scanning microscopy indicated that the combination treatment accelerated the adsorption of PPI at the oil/water interface and strengthened the compactness of the interface film. Improved interfacial properties and intermolecular forces played a critical role in the resistance to droplet coalescence in PPI emulsion. In conclusion, ultrasound and pH-shifting treatments have a synergistic effect on improving the solubility and emulsification of PPI.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of different treatment of alkaline pH-shifting on milk protein concentrate (MPC), micellar casein concentrate (MCC) and whey protein isolate (WPI) assisted by the same ultrasound conditions, including changes in the physicochemical properties, solubility and foaming capacity. The solubility of milk proteins had a significant increase with gradual enhancement of ultrasound-assisted alkaline pH-shifting (p < 0.05), especially for MCC up to 99.50 %. Also, treatment made a significant decline in the particle size of MPC and MCC, as well as the turbidity of the proteins (p < 0.05). The foaming capacity of MPC, MCC, and WPI was all improved, especially at pH 11, and at this pH, the milk protein also showed the highest surface hydrophobicity. The best foaming capacity at pH 11 was the result of the combined effect of particle size, potential, protein conformation, solubility, and surface hydrophobicity. In conclusion, ultrasound-assisted pH-shifting treatment was found to be effective in improving the physicochemical properties and solubility and foaming capacity of milk proteins, especially MCC, with promising application prospect in food industry.

Abstract
Pseudocereals (amaranth, buckwheat and quinoa) are emerging as popular gluten-free crops. This may be attributed to their wide-ranging health benefits, including antioxidant, hypoglycemic and serum-cholesterol reducing properties. Proteins of these crops have a high nutritional quality as a result of the presence of essential amino acids. Additionally, amaranth, buckwheat and quinoa proteins (AP, BP and QP, respectively) have physicochemical properties that are useful for the manufacture of different types of food. However, native pseudocereal proteins demonstrate a low solubility in water, mainly because of their composition. The major components of these proteins are albumins (water-soluble) and globulins (salt-soluble), although some proportions of glutelin (alkali-soluble) and prolamins (alcohol-soluble) are also found. The most commonly used method for extracting pseudocereal proteins is the alkaline extraction method, which may contribute to the low solubility of pseudocereal protein. Fortunately, different methods for modifying physicochemical (or techno-functional) properties have been proposed to extend their industrial application. For example, high-intensity ultrasound (HIUS) proved useful for improving the solubility of API and QP. Heating can allow for the formation of soluble aggregates of QP. The combination of heating and HIUS can improve the digestibility, solubility and foam properties of AP. Conjugation through the Maillard reaction can improve BPI and QP interfacial properties. Thus, present study provides a review of the solubility, extraction and modification of the techno-functional properties of AP, BP and QP. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
High intensity ultrasound (HIU) is an efficient and green technology that has recently received enormous research attention for modification of food proteins. However, there are still several knowledge gaps in the possible mechanisms, synergistic effects of HIU with other strategies and improvement of HIU equipment that contribute to its application in the food industry. This review focuses on the recent research progress on the effects and potential mechanisms of HIU on the structure (including secondary and tertiary structure) and functionality (including solubility, emulsibility, foamability, and gelability) of proteins. Furthermore, the combination methods and innovations of HIU equipment for proteins modification in recent years are also detailed. Meanwhile, the possible future trends of food proteins modification by HIU are also considered and proposed.

Abstract
Globally, beer is considered the most-consumed low-alcohol beverage, it ranks third, after water and tea, in the top sales of these drinks. New types of beer are the result of the influence of several factors, including innovations in science and technology, changing requirements for food consumption of the population, competition between producers, promotion of food for health, flavor, and quality, the limited nature of traditional food resource raw materials, and the interest of producers in reducing production costs. Manufacturers are looking for new solutions for obtaining products that meet the requirements of consumers, authentic products of superior quality, with distinctive taste and aroma. This review proposes the use of two pseudocereals as raw materials in the manufacture of beer: buckwheat and amaranth, focusing on the characteristics that recommend them in this regard. Due to their functional and nutraceutical properties, these pseudocereals can improve the quality of beer-a finished product. Additionally, all types of beer obtained from these pseudocereals are recommended for diets with particular nutritional requirements, especially gluten-free diets. Researchers and producers will continue to improve and optimize the sensory and technological properties of the new types of beer obtained from these pseudocereals.

Abstract
Protein modification is a practical strategy to enhance the functional characteristics of proteins and broaden their commercial applications. Various chemical (e.g., pH-shifting, deamidation, succinylation), physical (e.g., sonication, high-speed shearing), or biological (e.g., microbial transglutaminase cross-linking, enzymatic hydrolysis) modification methods have frequently been employed to improve the functionality of native grain proteins. However, progress in intensification has led to the emergence of advanced methodologies, which involve the combination of modification techniques, generally known as "Dual Modification". This paper aims to comprehensively review the most recent researches focusing on the effects of dual modification on the functionality of grain proteins. Particular emphasis is given to elucidate the impact of this technique on physicochemical and structural properties. Furthermore, existing challenges and limitations associated with the utilization of this approach are highlighted, and prospects are proposed.
