Eco-friendly synthesis of Arabinoxylan-Catechin conjugates: Enhanced functional and antioxidant properties via cold plasma and ultrasonic methods

Arabinoxylan-catechin complexes were synthesized using two eco-friendly methods: cold plasma and ultrasonic treatments. Their physicochemical, structural and functional properties were evaluated. Cold plasma and ultrasonic treatments did not significantly alter the molecular structure of arabinoxylan, although a decrease Mw was noticed. Grafting ratios increased by elevating ultrasonic power to 200 W for 3 min and cold plasma power to 50 V for 3 min. UV-vis, FT-IR, and SEM analyses revealed the formation of covalent bonds between arabinoxylan and catechin after cold plasma and ultrasonic treatment. Arabinoxylan's viscosity and thermal stability decreased upon catechin mixing. Furthermore, the in vitro antioxidant activities of the cold plasma and ultrasonic samples were significantly enhanced compared with those of the physically mixed sample. This work provides two eco-friendly methods: cold plasma and ultrasonic treatments, which are operationally flexible, chemical-free, and sustainable for the preparation of polysaccharide-polyphenol conjugates, consequently modifying the functional and antioxidant activities of polysaccharides.

Preparation and characterization of covalent starch-protein-tea polyphenol complexes with enhanced interfacial properties

In this study, covalent octenyl succinic anhydride starch-soy protein- (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (OSAS-SP-EGCG) complexes were synthesized by H2O2/ ascorbic acid radical grafting method. Particle size, ζ-potential, Fourier transform infrared, and thermogravimetric results proved the formation of covalent OSAS-SP-EGCG complexes. The results of scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy confirmed that the particles of the covalent complexes (especially 1:4 complexes) were more uniformly distributed. Compared with single OSAS, the covalent complexes exhibited excellent antioxidant capacity (>70 %). Static/dynamic contact angle, dynamic interfacial tension and quartz crystal microbalance were used to characterize the interfacial properties of the samples. Results showed that the stronger hydrophobicity of the complexes resulted in lower interfacial tension, which was stabilized at 17 mN/m after 45 min. Among the complexes, 1:4 complexes showed the most visible interfacial properties, with the initial and equilibrium surface values increasing by 12.1 % and 24.3 %, respectively. Moreover, the saturated f displacement of 1:4 complexes reached 50.45 Hz. It was indicated that better interfacial adsorption capacity of the complexes allowed them to adsorb more quickly to the oil-water interface and form thicker and denser interfacial films. This work provides a promising avenue for improving the interfacial properties of covalent polysaccharide-protein-polyphenol complexes.

Citrus wastes as sustainable materials for active and intelligent food packaging: Current advances

Citrus fruits are one of the most popular crops in the world, and around one quarter of them are subjected to industrial processes, aiming at the production of different food products. Citrus processing generates large amounts of waste, including peels, pulp, and seeds. These materials are rich sources of polymers (e.g., pectin, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin), phenolic compounds, and essential oils. At the same time, the development of food packaging materials using citrus waste is a highly sought strategy for food preservation, and meets the principles of circular economy. This review surveys current advances in the development of active and intelligent food packaging produced using one or more citrus waste components (polymers, phenolics extracts, and essential oils). It highlights the contribution and effects of each of these components on the properties of the developed packaging, as well as emphasizes the current state and challenges for developing citrus-based packaging. Most of the reported investigations employed citrus pectin as a base polymer to produce packaging films through the casting technique. Likewise, most of them focused on developing active materials, and fewer studies have explored the preparation of citrus waste-based intelligent materials. All studies characterized the materials developed, but only a few actually applied them to food matrices. This review is expected to encourage novel investigations that contribute to food preservation and to reduce the environmental impacts caused by discarded citrus byproducts.

Improving complexation of puerarin with kudzu starch by various ultrasonic pretreatment: Interaction mechanism analysis

The industrial preparation of kudzu starch (KS) significantly reduces the remaining of flavonoids like puerarin (PU) in the product, weakening its biological activity and making pre-treatments on kudzu crucial. Ultrasonic technique, widely used for modifying biomolecules, can enhance nutrient interactions like those between starch and polyphenols in foods. Thus, a puerarin-kudzu starch (PKS) complex was prepared with the introduction of ultrasonic pretreatment. The results indicated that sonication increased the binding of PU to KS from 0.399 ± 0.01 to 0.609 ± 0.05 mg/g. Particle size analysis and SEM revealed that the particles of the ultrasonic puerarin-kudzu starch complex (UPKS) were larger than those of the untreated complexes. XRD, UV-vis, and FT-IR spectroscopic analyses indicated that hydrogen bonding primarily governs the interaction between PU and KS. Additionally, incorporating PU decreased the starch structure's orderliness, while ultrasonic treatment altered the helical configuration of straight-chain starch, leading to the formation of a new, ordered structure through the creation of new hydrogen bonds. Additionally, gels formed from UPKS exhibited higher viscosity, elasticity, and shear stress, suggesting that ultrasound significantly altered the intermolecular interactions between PKS. In conclusion, the use of ultrasound under optimal conditions has demonstrated its effectiveness in preparing PKS complexes, highlighting its significant potential to produce high value-added kudzu-based products.

Synergistic impact of ultrasound-high pressure homogenization on the formation, structural properties, and slow digestion of the starch-phenolic acid complex

The modification of starch digestibility can be achieved through the formation of complexes with polyphenols. We studied the combined impacts of ultrasound and high-pressure homogenization (UT-HPH) on the structure and in vitro digestibility of rice starch-chlorogenic acid complexes. The development of V-type complexes was supported by our findings, which also showed that synergistic UT-HPH therapy exhibited the highest absorbance value for the complexing index (0.882). Significant alterations in digestibility were also observed in the complexes, with the content of RDS decreasing from 49.27% to 27.06%, the content of slowly SDS increasing from 25.69% to 35.35%, and the percentage of RS increasing from 25.05% to 37.59%. Furthermore, a high positive correlation was found by applying the Pearson correlation coefficient in our research between RS, weight, PSD, and CI. This study presents a sustainable processing approach for utilizing chlorogenic acid in starch-rich food systems.

Experimental and Molecular Docking Studies on Enzyme-Driven Biohybrid-Inspired Micromotors Based on Amylose-b-(PEG-co-PBA) Inclusion Complexes

Amylose is a linear polysaccharide with a unique ability to form helical inclusion complexes with the appropriate guest components. Numerous studies have been conducted on encapsulation of bioactive compounds for various applications. In the biomedical field, biohybrid micro/nanomotors (MNMs) have emerged as innovative candidates due to their excellent biocompatible and biodegradable properties. This study was inspired by the biohybrid- and enzymatic-propelled MNMs and explored the potential of amylose inclusion complexes (ICs) in creating these MNMs. The study developed a new type of micromotor made from (PEG-co-PBA)-b-amylose. Nanoprecipitation, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and ultrasound-treated methods were employed to create spherical, thick crystalline, and rod-bacterial-like morphologies, respectively. Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) was used as the catalytic fuel to induce the motion by the enzymatic degradation of ester linkages in the polymeric segment. Optical microscopy was utilized to observe the motion of the motors following incubation with enzyme concentrations of 5, 10, and 20% (w/w). The results demonstrated that the velocity of the motors increased proportionally with the percentage of added enzyme. Additionally, a comprehensive molecular docking evaluation with PyRx software provided insight into the interaction of the CALB enzyme with polymeric moieties and demonstrated a good affinity between the enzyme and polymer in the binding site. This study provides novel insight into the design and development of enzymatically driven polymeric micromotors and nanomotors.

Advances in efficient extraction of essential oils from spices and its application in food industry: A critical review

With the increase of people's awareness of food safety, it is crucial to find natural and green antimicrobial agents to replace traditional antimicrobial agents. Essential oils of spices (SEOs) are low toxicity or nontoxic, which exhibited antioxidants and antimicrobial activity according to many in vitro and in situ experiments. Spices are widely available and low cost as a plant raw material for the extraction of SEOs. This review summarized highly efficient extraction techniques for SEOs, such as physical field assisted extraction technology, supercritical fluid extraction, and biological-based techniques. Furthermore, purification of SEOs and components were also recapitulated. Purification techniques of SEOs improve their utilization value due to the increased content of bioactive components. Finally, the review concentrated on the applications of SEOs in food industry, including food preservation, food active packaging by means of films or coatings, antioxidant properties. In addition, addressing the problem of unstability of SEOs and its role to inhibit the pathogenic bacteria, the encapsulation of SEOs for use in the food industrial sectors reduces the safety risk to human health.

Increasing the pressure during high pressure homogenization regulates the starch digestion of the resulting pea starch-gallic acid complexes

The pea starch-gallic acid (PS-GA) complexes were prepared using high pressure homogenization (HPH), then the effect and underlying mechanism of pressure on multi-scale structure and digestibility of complexes were investigated. Results showed that HPH promoted the formation of PS-GA complexes, reaching the maximum complex index of 7.74 % at the pressure of 90 MPa, and the main driving force were hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding. The interaction between PS and GA facilitated the formation of surface reticular structures to encapsulate gallic acid molecules, further entangled into bigger size aggregates. The enhancement of rearrangement and aggregation of starch chains during HPH developed a dense hierarchical structure of PS-GA complexes, including short-range ordered structure, V-type crystal structure, lamellar and fractal structure, thus increasing gelatinization temperature. The digestibility of PS-GA complexes substantially changed in reducing rapidly digestible starch content from 29.67 % to 17.07 %, increasing slowly digestible starch from 53.69 % to 56.25 % and resistant starch from 16.63 % to 26.67 %, respectively. Moreover, the resulting complexes exhibited slower digestion rates compared with native PS. Furthermore, the regulating mechanism of pressure during HPH on starch digestibility was the formation of ordered multi-scale structure and inhibition of GA on digestive enzymes.

Salt stress affects the biomass of industrial crop Jerusalem artichoke by affecting sugar transport and metabolism

Even though Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) has strong resistance to abiotic stresses, salinity can still reduce the biomass of Jerusalem artichoke. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the differences in the development of Jerusalem artichoke and the dynamics of sugar throughout the growth period under high (7.23-8.15 g/kg) and low (3.20-4.32 g/kg) salinity stress in the field in Jiangsu Province, China. This study confirmed that high salinity promoted the conversion of reducing sugars to non-reducing sugars (fructans) in Jerusalem artichoke tubers, but significantly reduced the biomass of Jerusalem artichoke and advanced the peak time of the dry matter accumulation of aerial parts. In addition, in the early and late stages of tuberization, the total sugar content of tubers under low salinity conditions (786 ± 8 mg/g and 491 ± 8 mg/g) was 93.3% and 1.15 times than those under high salinity conditions, respectively. Moreover, the total sugar content in stems was consistently greater under high than low salinity conditions in the same period. The accumulation rate and the amount of dry matter were significantly higher in stems than in other tissues. Therefore, the aerial parts of "Nanyu No. 1" could be harvested before mid-to-early October, and the tubers after mid-November. This study revealed the internal reasons for the decreased yield of Jerusalem artichoke under salt stress, and provided theoretical basis and guidance for the cultivation and utilization of Jerusalem artichoke in saline-alkali soil.

Ultrasonic washing as an abiotic elicitor to increase the phenolic content in fruits and vegetables: A review

Ultrasonic washing has been widely applied to the postharvest storage of fruits and vegetables as a residue-free physical washing technology, which plays an important role in improving shelf-life, safety, and nutritional value. Phenolics are a large group of phytochemicals widespread in fruits and vegetables, and they have been considered potential protective factors against some diseases because of potent antioxidative properties. Previous studies have shown that ultrasonic washing can increase the phenolic content of fruits and vegetables immediately or during storage through the induction of plant stress responses, which is of great significance for improving the functional and nutritional value of fruits and vegetables. However, the mechanisms of ultrasound as an elicitor to improve the phenolic content remain controversial. Therefore, this review summarizes the applications of ultrasonic washing to increase the phenolic content in fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, the corresponding physiological stress response mechanisms of the phenolic accumulation in terms of immediate stress responses (i.e., higher extractability of phenolics) and late stress responses (i.e., metabolism of phenolics) are expounded. Moreover, a hypothetical model is proposed to explain phenolic biosynthesis triggered by signaling molecules produced under ultrasound stress, including primary signal (i.e., extracellular adenosine triphosphate) and secondary signals (e.g., reactive oxygen species, Ca²⁺ , NO, jasmonates, and ethylene). Additionally, the techno-economic feasibility of ultrasonic washing technology is also discussed. Further, challenges and trends for further development of ultrasonic washing as an abiotic elicitor applied to the postharvest storage of fruits and vegetables are presented.

Combination with litchi procyanidins under PEF treatment alters the physicochemical and processing properties of inulin

A novel alternative to prepare the inulin-procyanidin complex assisted by pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment was explored in this study. Results showed that the optimal condition of PEF treatment enhanced the adsorption rate of procyanidins to inulin from 78.56 to 103.46 μg/mg. Based on well fitted by Redlich-Peterson model and spectral analysis including UV and FT-IR, the interaction between inulin and procyanidin was evidenced to be dominated by hydrogen bonds. The DSC curve and the SEM spectrum displayed better stability of the PEF-treated inulin-procyanidin complex than the untreated complex. The PEF-treated complex had lower solubility but higher water-holding capacity than inulin, which exhibited stronger shear-thinning property and more stable flow behavior referring to rheological analysis. Furthermore, the gel formed from the PEF-treated complex possessed greater hardness, chewiness and viscosity, with no significant effects noted in terms of springiness, cohesiveness and resilience.

The effect of supercritical carbon dioxide on the physiochemistry, endogenous enzymes, and nutritional composition of fruit and vegetables and its prospects for industrial application: a overview

Consumers have an increasing demand for fruit and vegetables with high nutritional value worldwide. However, most fruit and vegetables are vulnerable to quality loss and spoilage during processing, transportation, and storage. Among the recently introduced emerging technologies, supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) has been extensively utilized to treat and maintain fruit and vegetables mainly due to its nontoxicity, safety, and environmentally friendly. SCCO2 technology generates low processing costs and mild processing conditions (temperature and pressure) that allow for the application of CO2 at a supercritical state. This review aimed to summarize the current knowledge on the influence of SCCO2 technology on the quality attributes of fruit and vegetable products, such as physicochemical properties (pH, color, cloud, particle size distribution, texture), sensory quality, and nutritional composition (ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, carotenoids, and betalains). In addition, the effects and mechanisms of the SCCO2 technique on endogenous enzyme inactivation (polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, and pectin methylesterase) were also elucidated. Finally, the prospects of the SCCO2 technique for industrial application was discussed from the economic and regulatory aspect.

The successful preparation of SPI-DG-MC complex will advance the application of soybean resource as a functional food ingredient.

Polysaccharides in Selenium-Enriched Tea: Extraction Performance under Innovative Technologies and Antioxidant Activities

Pulsed electric fields (PEF) and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UE) were applied to improve the extraction performance of selenium-enriched tea polysaccharides (Se-TPSs) in mild conditions. Two combined extraction processes were investigated: (1) PEF strength at 10 kV/cm followed by conventional extraction (CE) at 50 °C for 60 min and (2) PEF+UE (PEF strength at 10 kV/cm followed by UE at 400 W for 60 min). The optimal extraction yields, and energy consumption rates were obtained at 36.86% and 41.53% and 78.78 kJ/mg and 133.91 kJ/mg, respectively. The Se-TPSs were analyzed and characterized by GPC, UV, and FT-IR, which evidenced the structural stability of the Se-TPSs during the extraction processes. It was found that PEF and UE could reduce the particle size diameter of the Se-TPS extract, as well as the proportion of uronic acid. Moreover, PEF could increase the selenium content in the Se-TPS extract by 160.14% due to a lower extraction temperature compared to conventional extraction. The antioxidant activities of the Se-TPSs in vitro were investigated using OH, O2-, and ABTS+ scavenging experiments, as well as a total antioxidant ability evaluation. It was found that the antioxidant activity of the Se-TPSs obtained using PEF2+CE2 was relatively high due to the potential synergistic effect between the selenium and polysaccharides. Based on these results, we speculate that PEF2+CE2 was the best extraction process for the Se-TPSs. Furthermore, this research indicates the application of selenium-enriched tea for functional food production.

We have also discussed the role of other phytochemicals in beetroot and their health benefits. Recent technologies in food processing are also updated. We also addressed on molecular docking-assisted biological activity and screening for bioactive chemicals. Additionally, the role of betalain from different sources and its therapeutic effects have been listed. To the best of our knowledge, little or no work has been carried out on the impact of beetroot and its nanoformulation strategies for phytocompounds on antimicrobial, antiviral effects, etc. Moreover, epigenetic alterations caused by phytocompounds of beetroot under several diseases were not reported much. Thus, extensive research must be carried out to understand the molecular effects of beetroot in the near future.

Ultrasound affects physical and chemical properties of Jerusalem artichoke and chicory inulin

Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) and Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) have a heterogeneous collection of fructose polymers, known as inulin. This study was aimed to explore the effects of ultrasound (US) and autoclave (AC) on inulin physico-chemical properties as well as investigate structural characterizations and relationships with inulin physico-chemical properties. More specifically, Jerusalem artichoke powder (JA, 69.99% inulin in dry basis), purified inulin from Jerusalem artichoke (PJAI) and chicory inulin (CI) were studied to determine the effects of both treatments on reducing sugar contents, degree of polymerization (DP), water-holding capacity (WHC) and particle size. US (90 W, 20 KHZ) treatments had increased reducing sugar content up to 12.27% for PJAI, 10.86% for JA powder and 2.18% for CI. HPLC analysis showed that the DP of inulin decreased for PJAI after 2 min US treatment. WHC analysis showed that both treatments did not have significant effects (p > .05) on WHC for JA powder. This study suggests that US can be a preferable treatment for reducing the DP of inulin from JA for designing variety of food formulations. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Ultrasound treatments could result in more inulin breaking down into reducing sugars, and in the decrease of inulin DP. This research suggested that the DP of inulin might be a very important factor in ultrasound treatment for their affect in the absorption of energy from ultrasound. Therefore, ultrasound can be a desirable treatment for changing the degree of polymerization of inulin from JA for designing different food products. Future studies need to investigate the relationship between the viscosity of inulin solution and the de-polymerization of inulin caused by ultrasound treatment.
