Abstract
The objectives of this study were to modify hordein with gallic acid (GA) in alcohol-free media and to compare the impact of covalent and non-covalent binding on the properties of hordein. Covalent hordein-GA complexes (H-GA) and non-covalent hordein/GA complexes (H/GA) were distinguished by molecular weight, free sulfhydryl groups and free amino groups. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) demonstrated that physical mixing induced non-covalent binding of GA to hordein via hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, with a lower binding efficiency than covalent ones. Both complexation types led to a structural shift of hordein toward disorder, while grafting of oligomeric GA and alkaline treatment resulted in lower surface hydrophobicity and higher antioxidant activity of H-GA compared to H/GA. The nanoparticles assembled from H-GA had smaller particle sizes and higher physical stability than those formed from H/GA. The results of this study may provide new insights into the modification of hordein by polyphenols.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of the conjugate reaction sequences of whey protein concentrate (WPC), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and dextran (DEX) on the structure and emulsion properties of conjugates and the bioaccessibility of astaxanthin (AST). Two types of ternary covalent complexes were synthesised using WPC, EGCG and DEX, which were regarded as emulsifiers of AST nanoemulsions. Results indicated that the WPC-DEX-EGCG conjugate (referred to as 'con') exhibits a darker SDS-PAGE dispersion band and higher contents of α-helix (6%), β-angle (24%) and random coil (32%), resulting in a greater degree of unfolding structure and fluorescence quenching. These findings suggested WPC-DEX-EGCG con had the potential to exhibit better emulsification properties than WPC-EGCG-DEX con. AST encapsulation efficiency (76.22%) and bioavailability (31.89%) also demonstrated the superior performance of the WPC-DEX-EGCG con emulsifier in nanoemulsion delivery systems. These findings indicate that altering reaction sequences changes protein conformation, enhancing the emulsification properties and bioavailability of AST.

Abstract
The low bioavailability and poor gastrointestinal instability of curcumin hampers its application in pharmaceutical and food industries. Thus, it is essential to explore efficient carrier (e.g. a combination of polyphenols and proteins) for food systems. In this study, covalent β-lactoglobulin (LG)-dicaffeoylquinic acids (DCQAs) complexes were prepared by combining ultrasound and free radical induction methods. Covalent interactions between LG and DCQAs were confirmed by analyzing reactive groups. Variations in secondary or tertiary structure and potential binding sites of covalent complexes were explored using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism. Results showed that the β-sheet content decreased and the unordered content increased significantly (P < 0.05). The embedding rate of curcumin in prepared LG-DCQAs complexes using ultrasound could reach 49 % - 62 %, proving that complexes could embed curcumin effectively. This study highlights the benefit of ultrasound application in fabrication of protein-polyphenol complexes for delivering curcumin.

Abstract
To investigate the optimal delivery system of quercetin, in this paper, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) extracted from rice bran were used to stabilize the Pickering emulsion and Pickering emulsion gels (PEGs) with quercetin. To compare the emulsion properties, stability, antioxidation activity, encapsulation rate, and bioaccessibility of the quercetin, four emulsions of CNC Pickering emulsion (C), CNC Pickering emulsion with quercetin (CQ), CNC Pickering gel emulsion (CG), and CNC Pickering gel emulsions with quercetin (CQG) were prepared. All four emulsions exhibited elastic gel network structure and good stability. The quercetin significantly reduced the particle size, increased the stability, and improved the antioxidant capacity of CQ and CQG. Compared to C and CG, the ABTS+ radical scavenging capacities of CQ and CQG were respectively enhanced by 46.92% and 3.59%. In addition, CQG had a higher encapsulation rate at 94.57% and higher bioaccessibility (16.17) compared to CQ. This study not only indicated that CNC from rice bran could be exploited as an excellent stabilization particle for Pickering emulsions, but also provided a highly stable and bioaccessible delivery system for water-insoluble functional active factors.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) used as a food ingredient is gaining acceptance and popularity. However, the studies available for the effect of HA concentrations on the properties of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) were limited. In this study, we investigated that the molecular characterization and functional properties of the complex formed by the non-covalent binding of β-LG and HA, as well as the ultrasound-assisted treatment at acidic pH. The optimal pH and ratio of β-LG/HA were set as 7 and 4:1, respectively. The fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and molecular docking results revealed that the addition of HA and ultrasound induced a decrease in random coil and α-helix and an increase in β-sheet contents in β-LG. By the complexation with HA, the thermal stability, freezing stability, and antioxidant properties of β-LG were all improved under ultrasound treatment. The results of the present study can be useful for the modulation of HA based biopolymer complexes and the exploitation as encapsulating or structuring agents in food industry.

Abstract
Coconut milk is an unstable emulsion system, mainly stabilized by proteins, which limits the development of the food industry. The aim of this study was to investigate mechanisms for increasing emulsion stability through the interaction between coffee polyphenols (CPs) and coconut globulin (CG), the main protein in coconut milk. Caffeic acid (CA), chlorogenic acid (CHA), and ferulic acid (FA) were selected as CP models. The results showed that hydrogen bond interactions mainly occurred between CG and CPs (CG-FA < CG-CA < CG-CHA). CHA containing quinic acid preferentially formed a strong interaction with CG. The interaction changed the lipophilicity of CG and facilitated the formation of a dense and thick interfacial film at the oil-water interface. Furthermore, the emulsion stabilized by CG-CPs showed excellent stability after storage, centrifugation, pH, and salt treatment, especially CG-CHA. This study could provide a theoretical basis for improving the stability of coconut milk products.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of ultrasound on the self-assembly behavior of pea protein (PP)-high methoxyl pectin (HMP) complexes at pH 2.0 through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and intrinsic fluorescence analysis. The emulsion stabilization mechanism of PP-HMP treated with ultrasound (PP-HMP-US) was also elucidated. The results indicated that ultrasound increased the emulsifying activity index (EAI) and emulsifying stability index (ESI) of PP-HMP. Moreover, PP-HMP-US-based emulsions formed small, dispersed oil drops, which were stable during storage. PP-HMP- and PP-HMP-US-based emulsions did not demonstrate any creaming. The TEM results revealed that ultrasound can regulate the self-assembly behavior of PP and HMP to form spherical particles with a core-shell structure. This structure possessed low turbidity, a small particle size, and high absolute zeta potential values. The FTIR and intrinsic fluorescence spectra demonstrated that ultrasound increased the α-helix and β-sheet contents and exposed the tryptophan groups to more hydrophilic environments. Ultrasound also promoted the PP-HMP self-assembly through electrostatic interaction and improved its oil-water interfacial behavior, as indicated by the EAI and ESI values of PP-HMP-US-based emulsions. The current results provide a reference for the development of an innovative emulsifier prepared by ultrasound-treated protein-pectin complexes at low pH.

Abstract
Proteins have been extensively studied for their outstanding functional properties, while polyphenols have been shown to possess biological activities such as antioxidant properties. There is increasing clarity about the enhanced functional properties as well as the potential application prospects for the polyphenol-protein complexes with antioxidant properties. It is both a means of protein modification to provide enhanced antioxidant capacity and a way to deliver or protect polyphenols from degradation. This review shows that polyphenol-protein complexes could be formed via non-covalent or covalent interactions. The methods to assess the complex's antioxidant capacity, including scavenging free radicals and preventing lipid peroxidation, are summarized. The combination mode, the type of protein or polyphenol, and the external conditions will be the factors affecting the antioxidant properties of the complexes. There are several food systems that can benefit from the enhanced antioxidant properties of polyphenol-protein complexes, including emulsions, gels, packaging films, and bioactive substance delivery systems. Further validation of the cellular and in vivo safety of the complexes and further expansion of the types and sources of proteins and polyphenols for forming complexes are urgently needed to be addressed. The review will provide effective information for expanding applications of proteins and polyphenols in the food industry.

Abstract
IntroductionPhycocyanin offers advantageous biological effects, including immune-regulatory, anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammation capabilities. While PC, as a natural pigment molecule, is different from synthetic pigment, it can be easily degradable under high temperature and light conditions.MethodsIn this work, the impact of ultrasound treatment on the complex of PC and phlorotannin structural and functional characteristics was carefully investigated. The interaction between PC and phlorotannin after ultrasound treatment was studied by UV–Vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Additionally, the antioxidant potential and in vitro digestibility of the complexes were assessed.ResultsThe result was manifested as the UV–Vis spectrum reduction effect, fluorescence quenching effect and weak conformational change of the CD spectrum of PC. PC was identified as amorphous based on the X-ray diffraction (XRD) data and that phlorotannin was embedded into the PC matrix. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed that ultrasound treatment and the addition of phlorotannin could improve the denaturation peak temperatures (Td) of PC to 78.7°C. In vitro digestion and free radical scavenging experiments showed that appropriate ultrasound treatment and the addition of phlorotannin were more resistant to simulated gastrointestinal conditions and could improve DPPH and ABTS+ free radical scavenging performance.DiscussionUltrasound treatment and the addition of phlorotannin changed the structural and functional properties of PC. These results demonstrated the feasibility of ultrasound-assisted phlorotannin from A. nodosum in improving the functional properties of PC and provided a possibility for the application of PC-polyphenol complexes as functional food ingredients or as bioactive materials.

It is essential to understand the mechanism of action of ultrasound synergistic free radical oxidation to promote covalent reactions between proteins and polyphenols. (-)-epigallo-catechin 3-gallate (EGCG) with rich bioactivity could be used to increase the functional properties of cereal protein-gliadin (GL). This study systematically explored the role of ultrasound treatment (US) on the binding mechanisms of GL and EGCG. Electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) confirmed the greater molecular mass of the covalent complexes in the ultrasound environment. Quantitative analysis by the phenol content revealed that the ultrasound environment increased the EGCG content in the covalent complex by 15.08 mg/g of protein. The changes in the spatial structure of the proteins were indicated by Fourier infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) found that US disrupted the aggregation of GL and the clustered structure of the covalent complexes. The results demonstrated that the water solubility of ultrasonic conjugates was significantly increased by 8.8-64.19%, the digestion rate was more efficient, and the radical scavenging capacity was twice that of GL. This research contributes to the theoretical basis for broadening the application of polyphenols in modifying protein.

Abstract
The β-lactoglobulin-chlorogenic acid (LG-CA) conjugate was explored to be formed through ultrasonication, redox-pair method and their combination, the ultrasonication used a probe ultrasonic machine with a 6 mm probe at 270 W, and the frequency was 20-25 kHz. The formation of the conjugate was confirmed by SDS-PAGE with a larger molecular weight. Besides, Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Circular dichroism (CD) indicated changes in the secondary structure of the LG-CA conjugate. The α-helix and β-sheet contents of LG decreased and the unordered content increased significantly after the formation of covalent complexes. In addition, both the ultrasonic treatment and its combination with redox-pair method could significantly improve the antioxidant properties of LG. The former increased to 23.16 μmol Trolox/g sample, the latter 82-106 μmol Trolox/g sample. Therefore, ultrasonication could be used both individually and in combination with the redox-pair method to produce LG-CA conjugates with stronger antioxidant activities.
