Abstract
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) protein hydrolysate (PPH) has a bitter taste, which has limited its use in food industry. γ-Glutamylation is used to debitter PPH. Results showed that the bitterness of PPH was decreased significantly due to the formation of γ-glutamyl peptides, including 16 γ-[Glu](n=1/2)-amino acids (AAs) and 8 newly discovered γ-glutamyl tripeptides (γ-Glu-Asn-Phe, γ-Glu-Leu-Val, γ-Glu-Leu-Tyr, γ-Glu-Gly-Leu, γ-Glu-Gly-Phe, γ-Glu-Gly-Tyr, γ-Glu-Val-Val, and γ-Glu-Gln-Tyr). Their total production concentrations were 27.25 μmol/L and 77.76 μmol/L, respectively. The γ-Glu-AA-AAs presented an umami-enhancing, salty-enhancing, and kokumi taste when their concentration reached 1.67 ± 0.20 ∼ 2.07 ± 0.20, 1.65 ± 0.25 ∼ 2.29 ± 0.45 and 0.68 ± 0.19 ∼ 1.03 ± 0.22 mmol/L, respectively. The γ-Glu-AA-AAs exhibited a kokumi taste by entering the Venus flytrap (VFT) of the calcium-sensing receptor and interacting with Ser147, Ala168, and Ser170. γ-Glu-AA-AAs can enhance the umaminess of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) as they can enter the binding pocket of the taste receptor type 1 subunit 3 (T1R3)-MSG complex.

Abstract
The typical dry-cured ham flavor is rich in umami and brothy perceptions, for which short peptides may contribute. Particularly, γ-glutamyl peptides could be the responsible of these previously reported attributes, as they exert a synergistic interaction with other basic tastes and modify the intensity of salty, sweet, and umami tastes. The content of peptides has been reported to evolve along the processing, but no kokumi γ-glutamyl peptides have been identified in Spanish dry-cured hams yet. In this research, nine γ-glutamyl dipeptides (γ-EA, γ-EC, γ-EE, γ-EF, γ-EL, γ-EM, γ-EV, γ-EW, and γ-EY) and two γ-glutamyl tripeptides (GSH and γ-EVG) have been quantitated at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of traditional processing of Spanish dry-cured ham by performing a Q Exactive Orbitrap-based tandem mass spectrometry. The results show an increase of γ-EA, γ-EE, γ-EF, γ-EL, γ-EM and γ-EVG, obtaining maximums at 24 months of curing ranging from 0.14 (γ-EVG) to 18.86 (γ-EL) μg/g dry-cured ham. Otherwise, γ-EV, γ-EW and γ-EY accumulated until the 18th month of storage to 15.10, 0.54 and 3.17 μg/g dry-cured ham, respectively; whereas γ-EC and GSH amounts decreased starting from 0.0676 and 4.41 μg/g dry-cured ham, respectively at earlier stages. The concentration dynamics of these compounds may be linked with proteolytic and oxidative reactions during processing. In addition, due to their synergistic effect on kokumi activity, this could constitute insights of the brothy perceptions of dry-cured ham, and these peptides probably contribute to the sensory differences existing in long processed Spanish dry-cured hams.

Abstract
Umami peptides are small molecular weight oligopeptides that play a role in umami taste attributes. However, the identification of umami peptides is easily limited by environmental conditions, and the abundant source and high chromatographic separation efficiency remain difficult. Herein, we report a robust strategy based on a phage random linear heptapeptide library that targets the T1R1-Venus flytrap domain (T1R1-VFT). Two candidate peptides (MTLERPW and MNLHLSF) were readily identified with high affinity for T1R1-VFT binding (KD of MW-7 and MF-7 were 790 and 630 nM, respectively). The two peptides exhibited umami taste and significantly enhanced the umami intensity when added to the monosodium glutamate solution. Overall, this strategy shows that umami peptides could be developed via phage display technology for the first time. The phage display platform has a promising application to discover other taste peptides with affinity for taste receptors of interest and has more room for improvement in the future.

Abstract
Umami peptides have currently become the research focus in the food umami science field and the key direction for umami agent development. This is because umami peptides have good processing characteristics, umami and nutritional values. We here used virtual screening (including online enzymolysis through ExPASy PeptideCutter, bioactivity screening using the PeptideRanker, toxicity and physicochemical property prediction using Innovagen and ToxinPred software), molecular docking, and electronic tongue analysis to identify umami peptides generated from Atlantic cod myosin. Twenty-three putative umami peptides were screened from the myosin. Molecular docking results suggested that these 23 peptides could enter the binding pocket in the T1R3 cavity, wherein Glu128 and Asp196 were the main amino acid residues, and that hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions were the main binding forces. Twelve synthetic peptides tested on the electronic tongue exhibited umami taste and a synergistic effect with monosodium glutamate (MSG). Among them, GGR, AGCD, and SGDAW had higher umami intensities than the other peptides, while SGDAW and NDDGW exhibited stronger umami-enhancing capabilities in 0.1% MSG solution. This study offers a method for the rapid screening of umami peptides from marine protein resources and places the foundation for their application in the food industry.
