[PMID: 38367556 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138671] [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: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
Chickpea protein, a valuable plant-based source, offers versatile applications, yet the impact of modifications like succinylation and ultrasonication on its properties remains unclear. This study explored dual succinylation and ultrasonication modification to enhance its functionality and application. Modified chickpea protein with a degree of succinylation of 96.75 %, showed enhanced water holding capacity 39.83 %, oil holding capacity 54.02 %, solubility 7.20 %, and emulsifying capacity 23.17 %, compared to native protein. Despite reduced amino acid content (64.50 %), particularly lysine, succinylation increased sulfhydryl by 1.74 %, reducing hydrophobicity (Ho) by 41.87 % and causing structural changes. Ultrasonication further reduced particle size by 82.57 % and increased zeta potential and amino acid content (57.47 %). The dual-modified protein exhibited a non-significant increase in antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (25.93 ± 1.36 mm) compared to the native protein (25.28 ± 1.05 mm). In conclusion, succinylation combined with ultrasonication offers a promising strategy to enhance chickpea protein's physicochemical properties for diverse applications.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:4203-4233. [PMID: 38785525 PMCID: PMC11120442 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46050257] [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: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The global demand for sustainable and nutritious food sources has catalyzed interest in legumes, known for their rich repertoire of health-promoting compounds. This review delves into the diverse array of bioactive peptides, protein subunits, isoflavones, antinutritional factors, and saponins found in the primary legume protein sources-soybeans, peas, chickpeas, and mung beans. The current state of research on these compounds is critically evaluated, with an emphasis on the potential health benefits, ranging from antioxidant and anticancer properties to the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. The extensively studied soybean is highlighted and the relatively unexplored potential of other legumes is also included, pointing to a significant, underutilized resource for developing health-enhancing foods. The review advocates for future interdisciplinary research to further unravel the mechanisms of action of these bioactive compounds and to explore their synergistic effects. The ultimate goal is to leverage the full spectrum of benefits offered by legumes, not only to advance human health but also to contribute to the sustainability of food systems. By providing a comprehensive overview of the nutraceutical potential of legumes, this manuscript sets a foundation for future investigations aimed at optimizing the use of legumes in the global pursuit of health and nutritional security.

Fan W, Shi Y, Hu Y, Zhang J, Liu W. Effects of the Combination of Protein in the Internal Aqueous Phase and Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate on the Stability of Water-In-Oil-In-Water Emulsions Co-Encapsulating Crocin and Quercetin. Foods 2023; 13:131. [PMID: 38201158 PMCID: PMC10779032 DOI: 10.3390/foods13010131] [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: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to diminish the reliance on water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions on the synthetic emulsifier polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR). Considering the potential synergistic effects of proteins and PGPR, various protein types (whey, pea and chickpea protein isolates) were incorporated into the internal aqueous phase to formulate W/O/W emulsions. The effects of the combination of PGPR and protein at different ratios (5:0, 4:1, 3:2, 1:1 and 2:3) on the stability and encapsulation properties of W/O/W emulsions co-encapsulating crocin and quercetin were investigated. The findings indicated that the combination of PGPR and protein resulted in a slight reduction in the encapsulation efficiency of the emulsions, compared to that of PGPR (the control). Nonetheless, this combination significantly enhanced the physical stability of the emulsions. This result was primarily attributed to the smaller droplet sizes and elevated viscosity. These factors contributed to increased retentions of crocin (exceeding 70.04%) and quercetin (exceeding 80.29%) within the emulsions after 28 days of storage, as well as their improved bioavailability (increases of approximately 11.62~20.53% and 3.58~7.98%, respectively) during gastrointestinal digestion. Overall, combining PGPR and protein represented a viable and promising strategy for reducing the amount of PGPR and enhancing the stability of W/O/W emulsions. Notably, two plant proteins exhibited remarkable favorability in this regard. This work enriched the formulations of W/O/W emulsions and their application in the encapsulation of bioactive substances.
