Insights into digestibility, biological activity, and peptide profiling of flaxseed protein isolates treated by ultrasound coupled with alkali cycling. Food Res Int 2024; 190:114629.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effects of ultrasound coupled with alkali cycling on the structural properties, digestion characteristics, biological activity, and peptide profiling of flaxseed protein isolates (FPI). The digestibility of FPI obtained by ultrasound coupled with pH 10/12 cycling (UFPI-10/12) (74.56 % and 79.12 %) was significantly higher than that of native FPI (64.40 %), and UFPI-10 showed higher hydrolysis degree (35.76 %) than FPI (30.65 %) after intestinal digestion. The combined treatment induced transition from α-helix to β-sheet with an orderly structure. Large FPI aggregates broke down into small-sized FPI particles, which induced the increase of specific surface area of particles. This might expose more cutting sites and contact area with enzymes. Furthermore, UFPI-10 showed high antioxidant activity (29.18 %) and lipid-lowering activity (70.52 %). Peptide profiling revealed that UFPI-10 exhibited a higher proportion of 300-600 Da peptides and significantly higher abundance of antioxidant peptides than native FPI, which might promote its antioxidant activity. Those results suggest that the combined treatment is a promising modification method to improve the digestion characteristics and biological activity of FPI. This work provides new ideas for widespread use of FPI as an active stabilizer in food systems.

Abstract
Whole grains have garnered significant attention in the food industry due to their retained abundant nutrients when compared to refined grains. However, limited knowledge exists regarding the digestive behavior of starch and protein. This study compared the physicochemical properties and in vitro starch and protein digestibility of cooked whole wheat flour (WF) and naked oat flour (NOF), and evaluated the impact of endogenous components (protein, lipid, β-glucan, and polyphenol) on the physicochemical properties and digestibility of WF and NOF. The result indicated that the final hydrolysis rate of WF samples (starch: 23.2 %∼46.3 %; protein: 23.1 %∼63.0 %) was lower than that of NOF samples (starch: 32.1 %∼61.0 %; protein: 32.3 %∼63.6 %). The removal of different endogenous components led to improved digestibility of starch and protein in both WF and NOF. This study contributes to the understanding of the starch and protein digestibility of whole grains, consequently facilitating the development of whole grain products.

[PMID: 38790841 PMCID: PMC11121679 DOI: 10.3390/foods13101541] [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: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Research regarding meat analogues is mostly based on formulation and process development. Information concerning their safety, shelf life, and long-term nutritional and health effects is limited. This article reviews the existing literature and analyzes potential hazards introduced or modified throughout the processing chain of plant-based meat analogues via extrusion processing, encompassing nutritional, microbiological, chemical, and allergen aspects. It was found that the nutritional value of plant-based raw materials and proteins extracted thereof increases along the processing chain. However, the nutritional value of plant-based meat analogues is lower than that of e.g., animal-based products. Consequently, higher quantities of these products might be needed to achieve a nutritional profile similar to e.g., meat. This could lead to an increased ingestion of undigestible proteins and dietary fiber. Although dietary fibers are known to have many positive health benefits, they present a hazard since their consumption at high concentrations might lead to gastrointestinal reactions. Even though there is plenty of ongoing research on this topic, it is still not clear how the sole absorption of metabolites derived from plant-based products compared with animal-based products ultimately affects human health. Allergens were identified as a hazard since plant-based proteins can induce an allergic reaction, are known to have cross-reactivities with other allergens and cannot be eliminated during the processing of meat analogues. Microbiological hazards, especially the occurrence of spore- and non-spore-forming bacteria, do not represent a particular case if requirements and regulations are met. Lastly, it was concluded that there are still many unknown variables and open questions regarding potential hazards possibly present in meat analogues, including processing-related compounds such as n-nitrosamines, acrylamide, and heterocyclic aromatic amino acids.

Curr Res Food Sci 2024; 8:100759.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the impact of the addition of salivary α-amylase on starch hydrolysis in protein-containing dispersions during an in vitro digestion process. In vitro digestion provides useful insights on the fate of nutrients during gastro-intestinal transit in complex food matrices, an important aspect to consider when developing highly nutritious foods. Many foods contain polysaccharides, and as their disruption in the gastric stage is limited, salivary α-amylase is often neglected in in vitro studies. A reference study on the effect of salivary α-amylase using one of the most advanced and complex in vitro digestion models (INFOGEST) is, however, not available. Hence, this work reports the gastrointestinal breakdown of three mixed dispersions containing whey protein isolate with different polysaccharides: potato starch, pectin from citrus peel and maize starch. The latter was also studied after heating. No polysaccharide or salivary α-amylase-dependent effect on protein digestion was found, based on the free NH2 and SDS-PAGE. However, in the heat-treated samples, the addition of salivary α-amylase showed a significantly higher starch hydrolysis compared to the sample without α-amylase, due to the gelatinization of the starch granules, which improved the accessibility of the starch molecules to the enzyme. This work demonstrated that the presence of different types of polysaccharides does not affect protein digestion, but also it emphasizes the importance of considering the influence of processing on food structure and its digestibility, even in the simplest model systems.

Abstract
This study evaluated the nutritional quality of different microbial biomass samples by assessing their protein digestibility and carbohydrate fermentability in the colon using in vitro methods. Four microbial samples were produced: one hydrogen-oxidizing bacterial strain (Nocardioides nitrophenolicus KGS-27), two strains of filamentous fungi (Rhizopus oligosporus and Paecilomyces variotii), and one yeast strain (Rhodotorula babjevae). The microorganisms were grown in bioreactors, harvested and dried before analysis. The commercial fungal product Quorn was used as a reference. The protein digestibility of the microbial samples was analysed using the INFOGEST in vitro model, followed by quantification of N-terminal amine groups. An in vitro faecal fermentation experiment was also performed to evaluate the degradation of carbohydrates in microbial biomass samples and formation of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). The fungal biomass samples had higher protein hydrolysis (60-75 %) than the bacterial sample (12 %) and Quorn (45 %), while the yeast biomass had the highest protein digestibility (85 %). Heat-treatment of the biomass significantly reduced its protein digestibility. Total dietary fibre (DF) content of fungal biomass was 31 - 43 %(DW), mostly insoluble, whereas the bacterial biomass contained mainly soluble DF (total DF: 25.7 %, of which 23.5 % were soluble and 2.2 % insoluble). After 24 h of colonic in vitro fermentation, SCFA production from the biomass of Paecilomyces, Quorn and Rhodotorula was similar to that of wheat bran, while 17 % and 32 % less SCFA were produced from the biomass of Rhizopus and the bacterial strain, respectively. Further studies are needed to clarify the reasons for the observed differences in protein digestibility and DF fermentability, especially regarding the cell wall structures and role of post-processing.

Abstract
Coffee is one of the most popular beverages around the world and its consumption contributes to the daily intake of dietary melanoidins. Despite the emerging physiological role of food melanoidins, their effect on digestive processes has not been studied so far. In this study, the activity of the gastrointestinal enzymes pepsin and trypsin was investigated in the presence of water-soluble coffee melanoidins. The gastric enzyme pepsin is only slightly affected, whereas the intestinal enzyme trypsin is severely inhibited by coffee melanoidins. The intestinal digestibility of casein was significantly inhibited by coffee melanoidins at a concentration achievable by regular coffee consumption. The inhibition of proteolytic enzymes by coffee melanoidins might decrease the nutritional value of dietary proteins.

Abstract
Plant proteins have low protein nutritional quality due to their unbalanced indispensable amino acid (IAA) profile and the presence of antinutritional factors (ANFs) that limit protein digestibility. The blending of pulses with cereals/pseudocereals can ensure a complete protein source of IAA. In addition, extrusion may be an effective way to reduce ANFs and improve protein digestibility. Thereby, we aimed to improve the protein nutritional quality of plant protein ingredients by blending different protein sources and applying extrusion processing. Protein blends were prepared with pea, faba bean, quinoa, hemp, and/or oat concentrates or flours, and extrudates were prepared either rich in pulses (texturized vegetable proteins, TVPs) or rich in cereals (referred to here as Snacks). After extrusion, all samples showed a reduction in trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) greater than 71%. Extrusion caused an increase in the total in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of TVPs, whereas no significant effect was shown for the snacks. According to the molecular weight distribution, TVPs presented protein aggregation. The results suggest that the positive effect of decreased TIA on IVPD is partially counteracted by the formation of aggregates during extrusion which restricts enzyme accessibility. After extrusion, all snacks retained a balanced amino acid score whereas a small loss of methionine + cysteine was observed in the TVPs, resulting in a small reduction in IAA content. Thus, extrusion has the potential to improve the nutritional quality of TVPs by reducing TIA and increasing protein digestibility.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) is a key target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is possible that peptides that precisely regulate DPP-IV could be released from coix seed prolamins (CSP), but whether this happens has not yet been investigated. We performed the in silico digestion of CSP and predicted the bioactivity, absorption, transport, toxicity, and allergenicity of the resulting peptides. The simulation predicted that 47 non-toxic bioactive peptides would be released. After screening these, we found that 64.58% of them could possess DPP-IV inhibitory activity. The effect of thermal processing on the amino acid composition and structural properties of CSP was determined, and the DPP-IV inhibitory activity of its digestion-derived peptides was also assessed. The results showed that processing could change the flavour of coix seed and the supply of amino acids. After processing, the spatial conformation of CSP changed from ordered to disordered, and the peptide content and the DPP-IV inhibitory activity of its digestion products significantly increased by 19.89-30.91% and 36.84-42.02%, respectively. These results support the hypothesis that processing can change the protein structure and increase the probability that bioactive peptides will be released. They also have important implications for the development of bioactive peptides and the intensive processing of coix seeds.

Abstract
Plant-based protein products, represented by "plant meat", are gaining more and more popularity as an alternative to animal proteins. In the present review, we aimed to update the current status of research and industrial growth of plant-based protein products, including plant-based meat, plant-based eggs, plant-based dairy products, and plant-based protein emulsion foods. Moreover, the common processing technology of plant-based protein products and its principles, as well as the emerging strategies, are given equal importance. The knowledge gap between the use of plant proteins and animal proteins is also described, such as poor functional properties, insufficient texture, low protein biomass, allergens, and off-flavors, etc. Furthermore, the nutritional and health benefits of plant-based protein products are highlighted. Lately, researchers are committed to exploring novel plant protein resources and high-quality proteins with enhanced properties through the latest scientific and technological interventions, including physical, chemical, enzyme, fermentation, germination, and protein interaction technology.

Abstract
This study aimed to produce and characterise microparticles produced from barley residue proteins (BRP) enriched with β-carotene. The microparticles were obtained by freeze-drying five emulsion formulations with 0.5% w/w whey protein concentrate and different concentrations of maltodextrin and BRP (0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0% w/w), with the dispersed phase consisting of corn oil enriched with β-carotene. The mixtures were mechanically mixed and sonicated, the formed emulsions were freeze-drying. The microparticles obtained were tested for encapsulation efficiency, humidity, hygroscopicity, apparent density, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), accelerated stability and bioaccessibility. Microparticles produced with the emulsion containing 6% w/w BRP had lower moisture content (3.47 ± 0.05%), higher encapsulation efficiency (69.11 ± 3.36%), bioaccessibility value of 84.1% and greater β-carotene protection against thermal degradation. SEM analysis showed that microparticles had sizes ranging from 74.4 to 244.8 µm. These results show that BRP are viable for the microencapsulation of bioactive compounds by freeze-drying.

Abstract
The development of nutritional noodles of high quality has become a new hotspot of research in the area of food science. Since wakame is edible seaweed rich in dietary fiber and proteins and rarely found in ordinary noodle, this study investigated the release of metabolites, the texture quality, and the rheological properties of wakame noodle, as well as the mechanism by which extruded wakame flours can influence noodle texture and viscoelasticity through digestion. Basically, nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were applied to identify the 46 metabolites including amino acids, saccharides, fatty acids, and other metabolites. Both PCA and OPLS-DA model showed fit goodness and good predictivity, which were assessed the increasing release of most metabolites. Structural studies discussed the effects on the enhancement of interlinkage with gluten matrix and protein matrix, which were validated via the decreasing instantaneous compliance J0 (1.64 × 10-5 to 0.16 × 10-5 Pa-1). Wakame addition best matched the physiochemical properties of noodle, in terms of chewiness (99.10 vs 122.66 g.mm), gumminess (281.98 vs. 323.44 g), and gel strength (132.65 vs 173.95 kPa•s-1). Beyond the functional characteristics it contributes benefits like reduction of diet-related diabetes. As a consequence, the creation of personalized nutritious, healthy noodles will be an innovative route from a scientific viewpoint and an application standpoint.

Abstract
Solubility and emulsifying properties are important functional properties associated with proteins. However, many plant proteins have lower techno-functional properties, which limit their functional performance in many formulations. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of protein hydrolysis by commercial enzymes to improve their solubility and emulsifying properties. Lupin protein isolate (LPI) was hydrolyzed by 7 commercial proteases using different E/S ratios and hydrolysis times while the solubility and emulsifying properties were evaluated. The results showed that neutral and alkaline proteases are most efficient in hydrolyzing lupin proteins than acidic proteases. Among the proteases, Protamex® (alkaline protease) showed the highest DH values after 5 h of protein hydrolysis. Meanwhile, protein solubility of LPI hydrolysates was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than untreated LPI at all pH analyzed values. Moreover, the emulsifying capacity (EC) of undigested LPI was lower than most of the hydrolysates, except for acidic proteases, while emulsifying stability (ES) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than most LPI hydrolysates by acidic proteases, except for LPI hydrolyzed with Acid Stable Protease with an E/S ratio of 0.04. In conclusion, the solubility, and emulsifying properties of lupin (Lupinus luteus) proteins can be improved by enzymatic hydrolysis using commercial enzymes.

Abstract
This research aimed to produce gluten-free snacks on a pilot scale from quinoa flour. These snacks experienced an extrusion process, followed by baking. The effects of these technological processes on carbohydrate and protein digestibility, extractable phenolic compounds (EPP), hydrolyzable phenolic compounds (HPP), antioxidant capacity, and physical properties were evaluated in raw quinoa flour and extruded snacks. Extrusion increased digestible starch (RDS) from 7.33 g/100 g bs to 77.33 g /100 g bs. Resistant starch (RS) showed a variation of 2 g/100 g bs. It is noteworthy that protein digestibility increased up to 94.58 g/100 bs after extrusion and baking. These processes increased HPP content, while EPP and carotenoid content decreased. The samples showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in the antioxidant properties determined through the DPPH and ABTS methods. Values of 19.72 ± 0.81 µmol T/g were observed in snacks and 13.16 ± 0.2 µmol T/g in raw flour, but a reduction of up to 16.10 ± 0.68 µmol T/g was observed during baking. The baking process reduced the work of crispness (Wcr) from 0.79 to 0.23 N.mm, while the saturation (C*) was higher in baked ones, showing higher color intensity. The baking process did not influence the viscosity profile. The results in this study respond to the growing interest of the food industry to satisfy consumer demand for new, healthy, and expanded gluten-free snacks with bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Environmental extremes and climatic variability have enhanced the changes in numerous plant stressors. Researchers have been working to improve “major” crops for several decades to make them more adaptable and tolerant to environmental stresses. However, neglected and underutilized crop species that have the potential to ensure food and nutritional security for the ever-growing global population have received little or no research attention. Quinoa is one of these crops. It is a pseudocereal, considered a rich and balanced food resource due to its protein content and protein quality, high mineral content, and health benefits. This review provides currently available information on the genetic resources of quinoa and their quality in terms of variability of economically important traits such as yield, and the content of bioactive compounds, such as protein and amino acid composition. The influence of variety and environmental conditions on selected traits is also discussed. The various types of nutrients present in the different varieties form the basis and are key for future breeding efforts and for efficient, healthy, and sustainable food production.

Abstract
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.), a potential legume as an economical source of protein, is commonly cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Therefore, pigeon pea may be potentially used as a substitute to improve the nutritional profile of foods. In the present study, the effect of substitution of whole wheat flour (WWF) with 20% and 40% pigeon pea flour (PPF) on the nutritional properties, color profiles, and starch and protein digestibility of chapati was investigated. The results showed that PPF had higher protein content but less carbohydrate than WWF. The protein content of chapati substituted with 20% and 40% PPF increased by 1.18 and 1.34 times, respectively, compared to WWF chapati, along with a marked decrease in carbohydrate content. Analyses further revealed an increase in the lightness and yellowness and a decrease in the redness of the chapati. Furthermore, glucose release from chapati with 20% and 40% PPF under simulated digestion was attenuated, corresponding to decreased hydrolysis and a predicted glycemic index. In the 40% PPF chapati, a significant reduction in slowly digestible starch (SDS) with increased resistant starch (RS) proportions was achieved without altering the effect on rapidly digestible starch (RDS). In addition, the level of amino-group residues was markedly elevated in 20% and 40% PPF substituted chapati compared to WWF chapati. These findings suggest that PPF can serve as a promising plant-based alternative ingredient to improve the nutrient value of chapati by reducing starch and increasing protein digestibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The amino acid composition, and rheological, thermal and colloidal stability of plant protein-based oil-in-water emulsion systems containing 1.90, 3.50 and 7.70 g 100 mL-1 protein, fat and carbohydrate, respectively, using quinoa and lentil protein ratios of 100:0 and 60:40 were investigated. The emulsion containing lentil protein showed lower initial, peak and final viscosity values (22.7, 61.7 and 61.6 mPa s, respectively) than the emulsion formulated with quinoa protein alone (34.3, 102 and 80.0 mPa s, respectively) on heat treatment. RESULTS Particle size analysis showed that both samples had small particle sizes (~1.36 μm) after homogenization; however, the sample with 60:40 quinoa:lentil protein ratio showed greater physical stability, likely related to the superior emulsifying properties of lentil protein. However, upon heat treatment, large aggregates (~100 μm) were formed in both samples, reducing the physical stability of the samples. This physical stability was increased with the addition of 0.20% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), whereas it was negatively affected by the addition of α-amylase. Addition of α-amylase led to lower viscosity for both emulsion samples, with measured values of 41.8 and 46.0 mPa s for the 100:0 and 60:40 samples, respectively. This suggests that the heat-induced increases in particle size were partially due to hydrophobic interactions between the proteins as SDS disrupts hydrophobic bonds between proteins. CONCLUSION These results demonstrated that using a mixture of lentil and quinoa proteins positively affected the physical stability of plant protein-based emulsions, in addition to contributing to a more nutritionally complete amino acid profile - both important considerations in the development of plant-based beverages. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
We report on the effect of processing, particularly heating, on the digestion dynamics of pea proteins using the standardised semi-dynamic in vitro digestion method. Fractions with native proteins were obtained by mild aqueous fractionation of pea flour. A commercial pea protein isolate was chosen as a benchmark. Heating dispersions of pea flour and mild protein fractions reduced the trypsin inhibitory activity to levels similar to that of the protein isolate. Protein-rich and non-soluble protein fractions were up to 18% better hydrolysed after being thermally denatured, particularly for proteins emptied later in the gastric phase. The degree of hydrolysis throughout the digestion was similar for these heated fractions and the conventional isolate. Further heating of the protein isolate reduced its digestibility as much as 9%. Protein solubility enhances the digestibility of native proteins, while heating aggregates the proteins, which ultimately reduces the achieved extent of hydrolysis from gastro-small intestinal enzymes.

Effect of Fractionation and Processing Conditions on the Digestibility of Plant Proteins as Food Ingredients. Foods 2022; 11:foods11060870.

Abstract
Plant protein concentrates and isolates are used to produce alternatives to meat, dairy and eggs. Fractionation of ingredients and subsequent processing into food products modify the techno-functional and nutritional properties of proteins. The differences in composition and structure of plant proteins, in addition to the wide range of processing steps and conditions, can have ambivalent effects on protein digestibility. The objective of this review is to assess the current knowledge on the effect of processing of plant protein-rich ingredients on their digestibility. We obtained data on various fractionation conditions and processing after fractionation, including enzymatic hydrolysis, alkaline treatment, heating, high pressure, fermentation, complexation, extrusion, gelation, as well as oxidation and interactions with starch or fibre. We provide an overview of the effect of some processing steps for protein-rich ingredients from different crops, such as soybean, yellow pea, and lentil, among others. Some studies explored the effect of processing on the presence of antinutritional factors. A certain degree, and type, of processing can improve protein digestibility, while more extensive processing can be detrimental. We argue that processing, protein bioavailability and the digestibility of plant-based foods must be addressed in combination to truly improve the sustainability of the current food system.

Abstract
Physical barriers hinder about 20-25% of the protein from being extracted from whole meal. Heat-induced denaturation and aggregation of protein in quinoa seeds and in whole meal was investigated. Maximally 37% of the protein in seeds covalently aggregate when boiling for 15 min. Although embryonic cell walls surrounding protein bodies remain intact during boiling of seeds, protein aggregation is not hindered. 11S Globulin monomers first dissociate into their acidic and basic subunits which further assemble into large (> 500 kDa) mainly disulfide-linked aggregates. 2S Albumins are not involved in covalent aggregation but partially leach during seed boiling. The presence of disrupted food matrix constituents in whole meal delays denaturation and causes less aggregation of protein in whole meal than in seeds. Globulins still dissociate into their subunits but less and mainly small covalent aggregates (ca. 100-500 kDa) are formed. These novel insights allow developing new quinoa-based food products.

Abstract
Quinoa is a pseudocereal that has a favorable nutrient profile and may be a beneficial addition to the diet. To evaluate potential health-promoting properties of foods, it is important to understand the rate of macronutrient hydrolysis, which is commonly quantified through in vitro digestion studies. Additionally, limited information is available comparing starch and protein hydrolysis of solid foods using static and dynamic digestion models. The objective of this study was to examine starch and protein hydrolysis in cooked quinoa using a combination of a static (saliva only) or dynamic (saliva + mincing) oral digestion model with a static (gastric fluids only) or dynamic (Human Gastric Simulator) gastric digestion model. Disruption of the pericarp of the cooked quinoa seeds during dynamic oral digestion released additional surface area, which led to faster gastric emptying during dynamic gastric digestion. Starch and protein hydrolysis were impacted by type of gastric model due to differences in pH and variations in structural breakdown. Starch hydrolysis was 29.04 ± 1.83% after 180 min dynamic gastric digestion compared to 2.85 ± 1.88% during static gastric digestion (averaged across both oral digestion models). The degree of protein hydrolysis was 4.85 ± 0.01% after 180 min in the static gastric model compared to 3.94 ± 0.18% in the dynamic gastric model (averaged across both oral digestion models). This information provides evidence on the role of food structure and breakdown (through use of static vs. dynamic oral and gastric digestion models) on quinoa starch and protein hydrolysis.

Abstract
Proteins are important macronutrients for the human body to grow and function throughout life. Although proteins are found in most foods, their very dissimilar digestibility must be taking into consideration when addressing the nutritional composition of a diet. This review presents a comprehensive summary of the in vitro digestibility of proteins from plants, milk, muscle, and egg. It is evident from this work that protein digestibility greatly varies among foods, this variability being dependent not only upon the protein source, but also the food matrix and the molecular interactions between proteins and other food components (food formulation), as well as the conditions during food processing and storage. Different approaches have been applied to assess in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD), varying in both the enzyme assay and quantification method used. In general, animal proteins tend to show higher IVPD. Harsh technological treatments tend to reduce IVPD, except for plant proteins, in which thermal degradation of anti-nutritional compounds results in improved IVPD. However, in order to improve the current knowledge about protein digestibility there is a vital need for understanding dependency on a protein source, molecular interaction, processing and formulation and relationships between. Such knowledge can be used to develop new food products with enhanced protein bioaccessibility.

Abstract
The present study aimed to better understand the metabolite release and rheological characteristics of sponge cake after in vitro digestion and the effect of Eucheuma as a fibre-rich flour replacer. Overall, 22 compounds including amino acids, saccharides, fatty acids, and other metabolites were identified based on nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Principal component analysis and orthogonal projection to latent structures-discriminant analysis showed that Eucheuma reduced the release of amino acids and fatty acids. The released glucose from the EP20 sample (20% replacement of flour with Eucheuma) decreased by 35.4% in intestinal phases compared with the control cake. Eucheuma's in vitro effects on sponge cake digestion mainly reflected altered flow behaviour index. All samples showed solid-like behaviour and a decrease in viscoelastic moduli after digestion. This study forms the basis for future optimisation of food properties to control their digestive characteristics.

Abstract
Rice represents a primary source of carbohydrates in human nutrition. Upon its consumption, the released sugars are mostly absorbed, categorising rice as a high glycemic index food. Addition of ingredients is common practice when cooking rice, which may affect rice digestibility and influence nutrients absorption in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, enabling a controlled glucose release. In this sense, rice formulations were submitted to a dynamic in vitro GI model, constituted by reactors that simulates peristalsis coupled to filtration membranes, to evaluate carbohydrates hydrolysis and bioaccessibility. Addition of quinoa and wholegrains reduced carbohydrates hydrolysis (i.e. 38.5 ± 5.08% and 57.98 ± 1.91%, respectively) and glucose bioaccessibility (i.e. 25.92 ± 5.70% and 42.56 ± 1.39%, respectively) when compared with brown rice (i.e. 63.86 ± 2.96% hydrolysed and 44.33 ± 1.88% absorbed). Addition of vegetables significantly decreased sample chewiness and resulted in superior hydrolysis (71.75 ± 7.44%) and glucose absorption (51.61 ± 6.25%).

Food-grade Pickering emulsion as a novel astaxanthin encapsulation system for making powder-based products: Evaluation of astaxanthin stability during processing, storage, and its bioaccessibility. Food Res Int 2020; 134:109244. [PMID: 32517928 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2020.109244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2020] [Revised: 03/31/2020] [Accepted: 04/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
The use of astaxanthin as a food ingredient is limited due to its poor water solubility in aqueous matrices and highly susceptibility to oxidation; hence microencapsulation of this carotenoid is an appropriate technique to increase its stability and functionally. In this study, astaxanthin oleoresin was encapsulated using a food-grade Pickering emulsion to enhance its stability during spray-drying and storage and its bioaccessibility. The oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions were stabilized by protein-based aggregates obtained from a lupin protein-rich cultivar (AluProt-CGNA). The emulsions containing the astaxanthin microencapsulated in its oil phase (core material) were submitted to a spray-drying process at 160 °C and 140 °C. For this, blends of these protein-based aggregates (LP-APs) and maltodextrin (at different ratios) were used as wall material. The emulsion stability, microstructure, powder characteristics, oxidative stability and concentration of astaxanthin, encapsulation efficiency and bioaccessibility after spray-drying were investigated. The results showed that LP-APs exhibit a great potential to perform as stabilizers for Pickering emulsions. The formed O/W emulsions were highly stable against creaming at high concentrations of LP-APs. The results also indicated that spray-drying can be applied to prepare stable astaxanthin emulsions into powders with good oxidative stability. The astaxanthin content in dry emulsions under storage conditions (25 and 45 °C for 4 weeks) was higher in powders containing a higher LP-APs concentration. The encapsulation efficiency was higher than 90% with the emulsion stabilized with 6% of LP-APs. The bioaccessebility of reconstituted astaxanthin powder (with 6% LP-APs) was around 80%.

Abstract
Process conditions that are applied to make structured soy-protein-based food commonly include high temperatures. Those conditions can induce protein oxidation, leading to a decrease in their susceptibility to proteolysis by digestive enzymes. We aimed to investigate the effects of thermomechanical processing on oxidation and in vitro gastric digestion of commercial soy protein ingredients. Samples were sheared at 100 to 140 °C and characterized for acid uptake, carbonyl content, electrophoresis, and surface hydrophobicity. The enzymatic hydrolysis was determined in simulated gastric conditions. Protein ingredients were already oxidized and showed higher surface hydrophobicity and hydrolysis rate compared with those of the processed matrices. However, no clear correlation between the level of carbonyls and the hydrolysis rate was found. Therefore, we conclude that gastric digestion is mostly driven by the matrix structure and composition and the available contact area between the substrate and proteolytic enzymes.

Abstract
Red, black and white seeds quinoa were germinated at 28 °C during 24 (G1), 48 and 72 h (G3). Red quinoa presented a higher percentage of germination with a value of 46% of germination at 72 h. Quinoa protein isolate (QPI) was obtained by alkaline extraction (pH 8.0) followed by an isoelectric precipitation (pH 4.5) from white, red and black quinoa seeds, germinated QPI-G1 or QPI-G3 and non-germinated QPI-NG, Chenopodium quinoa Willd var. Real. QPI-G1, QPI-G3 and QPI-NG were subject to a simulated gastric digestion (DG) and in vitro duodenal digestion (DD). The antioxidant activity was evaluated using the 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) methods. Gastric and duodenal digest of QPI-NG and QPI-G1 and QPI-G3 from white, red and black quinoa presented antioxidant activity. QPI-G1-DD of white quinoa presented the highest antioxidant activity with a DPPH value of 167.98 µmoL TE/g of digest, QPI-G1-DD of red quinoa with an ABTS value of 204.86 µmoL TE/g of digest and QPI-G1-DD of black quinoa with an ORAC value of 401.42 µmoL TE/g of digest. QPI-G3-DD of white quinoa presented higher antioxidant activity with a DPPH value of 186.28 µmoL TE/g of sample, QPI-G3-DD of red quinoa with an ABTS value of 144.06 µmoL TE/g of digest and QPI-G3-DD of black quinoa with an ORAC value of 395.14 µmoL TE/g of digest. The inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the zebrafish embryo model (Danio rerio) was evaluated. Protein profiles of QPI from white, red and black from germinated quinoa and non-germinated quinoa were similar with proteins between 10 kDa to 100 kDa with the presence of globulins 11S and 7S and 2S albumins.
