Abstract
BACKGROUND The structure of proanthocyanidins (PC) contains a large number of active phenolic hydroxyl groups, which makes it have strong antioxidant capacity. This study investigated the structural and functional properties of ovalbumin (OVA) modified by its interaction with PC. RESULTS It was found that on increasing the concentration ratio of PC to OVA from 10:1 to 40:1, the free amino and total sulfhydryl contents of OVA decreased from 470.59 ± 38.77 and 29.81 ± 0.31 nmol mg-1 to 96.61 ± 4.55 and 21.22 ± 0.78 nmol mg-1, respectively, and the free sulfhydryl content increased from 7.65 ± 0.41 to 9.48 ± 0.58 nmol mg-1. These results indicated that CN and CS bonds were formed and PC was covalently linked with OVA. The PC content in the OVA-PC conjugates increased from 281.93 ± 12.92 to 828.81 ± 46.09 nmol mg-1 on increasing the concentration ratio of PC to OVA from 10:1 to 40:1. The contents of α-helix and β-turn of OVA decreased, and the contents of β-sheet and random coil increased, confirmed by circular dichroism. The tertiary structure of OVA was also altered according to the results of fluorescence and ultraviolet absorption spectra. The surface hydrophobicity of OVA-PC conjugates decreased with increasing bound polyphenol content. The conjugation of OVA to PC significantly improved its emulsification and antioxidant activity and denaturation temperature. CONCLUSION This study may provide valuable information for improving OVA's functional properties and its PC conjugates for applications in the food industry. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare protein-polyphenol covalent complexes by treating egg yolk granules (EYG) with alkali in the presence of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and characterize the physicochemical, structural, and functional properties of these covalent complexes. Results revealed that the optimal covalent binding occurred when the concentration of EGCG reached 0.15% (w/w), resulting in a grafting rate of 1.51 ± 0.03%. As the amount of EGCG increased, corresponding increases were observed in the particle size and ζ-potential of the complexes, thereby enhancing their stability. Furthermore, our analysis using fluorescence spectroscopy, FTIR, SEM, and SDS-PAGE collectively demonstrated the formation of a covalent complex between EYG and EGCG. Notably, the covalent complexes exhibited improved antioxidant activity and emulsifying properties. Overall, this study establishes a theoretical framework for the future practical application of EYG, emphasizing the potential of EGCG to modify its structural and functional characteristics.

Abstract
It is essential to use environment-friendly, non-toxic, biodegradable and sustainable materials for various applications. Biopolymers are derived from renewable sources like plants, microorganisms, and agricultural wastes. Unlike conventional polymers, biopolymer has a lower carbon footprint and contributes less to greenhouse gas emission. All biopolymers are biodegradable, meaning natural processes can break them down into harmless products such as water and biomass. This property is of utmost importance for various sustainable applications. This review discusses different classifications of biopolymers based on origin, including plant-based, animal-based and micro-organism-based biopolymers. The review also discusses the desirable properties that are required in materials for their use as packaging material. It also discusses the different processes used in modifying the biopolymer to improve its properties. Finally, this review shows the recent developments taking place in using specifically animal origin-based biopolymer and its use in packaging material. It was observed that animal-origin-based biopolymers, although they possess unique properties however, are less explored than plant-origin biopolymers. The animal-origin-based biopolymers covered in this review are chitosan, gelatin, collagen, keratin, casein, whey, hyaluronic acid and silk fibroin. This review will help in renewing research interest in animal-origin biopolymers. In summary, biopolymer offers a sustainable and environment-friendly alternative to conventional polymers. Their versatility, biocompatibility will help create a more sustainable future.

Abstract
Food industry is the biggest and rapidly growing industries all over the world. This sector consumes around 40 % of the total plastic produced worldwide as packaging material. The conventional packaging material is mainly petrochemical based. However, these petrochemical based materials impose serious concerns towards environment after its disposal as they are nondegradable. Thus, in search of an appropriate replacement for conventional plastics, biopolymers such as polysaccharides (starch, cellulose, chitosan, natural gums, etc.), proteins (gelatin, collagen, soy protein, etc.), and fatty acids find as an option but again limited by its inherent properties. Attention on the initiatives towards the development of more sustainable, useful, and biodegradable packaging materials, leading the way towards a new and revolutionary green era in the food sector. Eco-friendly packaging materials are now growing dramatically, at a pace of about 10-20 % annually. The recombination of biopolymers and nanomaterials through intercalation composite technology at the nanoscale demonstrated some mesmerizing characteristics pertaining to both biopolymer and nanomaterials such as rigidity, thermal stability, sensing and bioactive property inherent to nanomaterials as well as biopolymers properties such as flexibility, processability and biodegradability. The dramatic increase of scientific research in the last one decade in the area of bionanocomposites in food packaging had reflected its potential as a much-required and important alternative to conventional petroleum-based material. This review presents a comprehensive overview on the importance and recent advances in the field of bionanocomposite and its application in food packaging. Different methods for the fabrication of bionanocomposite are also discussed briefly. Finally, a clear perspective and future prospects of bionanocomposites in food packaging were presented.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the impacts of gallic acid (GA)/protocatechuic acid (PA) on the structural and functional characteristics of whey proteins (WP) through covalent binding. To this purpose, the covalent complexes of WP-PA and WP-GA at different concentration gradients were prepared by the alkaline method. SDS-PAGE indicated that PA/GA was cross-linked by covalent bonds. The decreased contents of free amino and sulfhydryl groups suggested that WP formed covalent bonds with PA/GA by amino and sulfhydryl groups, and the structure of WP became slightly looser after covalent modification by PA/GA. When the concentration of GA was added up to 10 mM, the structure of WP was slightly loosened with a reduction of α-helix content by 2.3% and an increase in random coil content by 3.0%. The emulsion stability index of WP increased by 14.9 min after interaction with GA. Moreover, the binding of WP and 2-10 mM PA/GA increased the denaturation temperature by 1.95 to 19.87 °C, indicating the improved thermal stability of the PA/GA-WP covalent complex. Additionally, the antioxidant capacity of WP was increased with increasing GA/PA concentration. This work may offer worthful information for enhancing the functional properties of WP and the application of the PA/GA-WP covalent complexes in food emulsifiers.

Covalent modification of soy protein hydrolysates by EGCG: Improves the emulsifying and antioxidant properties. Food Res Int 2023; 164:112317. [PMID: 36737910 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.112317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 11/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
In this study, the effect of EGCG conjugation on the emulsifying and antioxidant properties of SPHs was investigated to improve the functional characteristic of soy protein hydrolysates (SPHs) and develop a novel hydrolysates/peptides-EGCG conjugates. Enzymatic hydrolyzed SPHs (DH 5%, 8%, 10%) covalent with 1% EGCG to prepare conjugates at pH 9.0. The free amino group and tryptophan content of SPHs-EGCG conjugates significantly decreased, indicating the successful preparation of SPHs-EGCG conjugates. Additionally, 5% SPHs-EGCG conjugates showed the highest EGCG binding capacity. EGCG conjugation increased the particle sizes and charge of SPHs. Compared with non-covalent SPHs, the covalent modification of EGCG increased the emulsifying and antioxidant capacity, especially for 5% SPHs-EGCG, it exhibited much higher surface hydrophobicity, ESI (emulsifying stability index), EAI (emulsifying activity index), and antioxidant activity than others. This result revealed that SPHs and EGCG played a synergistic effect in improving the emulsifying and antioxidant capacity. Fluorescence spectroscopy analysis showed that the combination of EGCG conjugation significantly decreased the fluorescence intensity and caused maximum emission red-shift. The formation of a covalent bond between SPHs and EGCG was verified through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the results also showed a significant increase in the α-helix and random coil contents of the conjugation, and a significant decrease in the β-sheet and β-turn contents. These results indicate that EGCG conjugation with SPHs induced the unfolding and stretching of protein flexibility. Overall, SPHs-EGCG conjugates can be applied as a promising emulsifier to fabricate emulsion systems and would be helpful in designing functional beverages containing polyphenols and peptides with enhanced functional nutritional properties.

Abstract
Valorisation of side-streams in food production has become an important booster for increased sustainability in food production. The objective of this work was to study and improve the functional properties of green coffee (GC) protein. Extraction of defatted GC meal by using PVPP slightly increased protein yield and significantly decreased the amount of covalently and non-covalently bound CQA, therefore decreasing the antioxidant activity of the meal. Peptic hydrolysis at pH 1.5 led to a significantly higher degree of hydrolysis (DH) than at pH 3. Sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed that the molecular weights of peptides of GC protein hydrolysates were in the range of 11-60 kDa, while peptides were in the range of 500-5000 Da using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF MS). Additionally, the enzymatic hydrolysis significantly improved the antioxidant activity of the GC protein. Finally, the results suggest that enzymatic hydrolysis with pepsin is an effective technique to provide bioactive compounds. The works presented in our manuscript may help in further exploiting the potential use of green coffee beans for food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Sweet potato leaf polyphenols (SPLPs) have shown potential health benefits in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Nowadays, consumption of SPLPs from animal feeds to foodstuff is becoming a trend worldwide. However, the application of SPLPs is limited by their low bioavailability and stability. β-lactoglobulin (βlg), a highly regarded whey protein, can interact with SPLPs at the molecular level to form reversible or irreversible nanocomplexes (NCs). Consequently, the functional properties and final quality of SPLPs are directly modified. In this review, the composition and structure of SPLPs and βlg, as well as methods of molecular complexation and mechanisms of formation of SPLPsβlgNCs, are revisited. The modified functionalities of SPLPsβlgNCs, especially protein conformational structures, antioxidant activity, solubility, thermal stability, emulsifying, and gelling properties including allergenic potential, digestibility, and practical applications are discussed for SPLPs future development.

Abstract
Whey protein is a common food additive for enhancing product stability and texture, while phenolics are considered food antioxidants. As a consequence, combining whey protein with phenolics is an effective way to improve protein functionality while also maintaining polyphenol bioactivity. Herein, the functional properties and antioxidant activity of whey protein modified with various types and concentrations of oxidized phenolic compounds, including gallic acid (OGA), ferulic acid (OFA), and tannic acid (OTA), were studied. In general, the modified whey protein had a decrease in free amino content, but an increase in total phenolic content. Whey protein modified with 5% OTA showed the highest total phenolic content and the lowest free amino content. Modification of whey protein with OTA and OGA resulted in a loss of surface hydrophobicity in contrast to whey protein modified with OFA. However, no significant difference in surface activity including foam and emulsion properties in the whey protein with/without modification was observed. The modified whey protein had an increase in antioxidant activity when compared with that of the control.

Abstract
Plant-based proteins are very often used as carriers of different phenolic compounds. For that purpose, complexation of quercetin with almond and brown rice protein matrices was investigated. The amount of protein matrices was constant, while the concentration of quercetin varied (1 mM, 2 mM or 5 mM) during complexation. Dried complexes were investigated for quercetin amount (HPLC analysis) and antioxidant activity (DPPH, FRAP and CUPRAC methods). Additionally, complexation was proven by DSC and FTIR-ATR screening. An increase in the concentration of quercetin in the initial complexation mixture resulted in the increase in the adsorption of quercetin onto protein matrices. For the brown rice protein matrices, this increase was proportional to the initial quercetin concentration. Adsorption of quercetin caused the change in thermal stability of microparticles in comparison to corresponding protein matrices that have been proven by DSC. FTIR-ATR analysis revealed structural changes on microparticles upon adsorption of quercetin.

Abstract
Whey proteins are widely used as functional ingredients in various food applications owing to their emulsifying, foaming, and gelling properties. However, their functional attributes are limited in some applications because of the dependence of their performance on pH, mineral levels, and temperature. Several approaches have been investigated to enhance the functional performance of whey proteins by interacting them with polyphenols via covalent bonds (conjugates) or non-covalent bonds (complexes). The interaction of the polyphenols to the whey proteins alters their molecular characteristics, techno-functional attributes, and biological properties. Analytical methods for characterizing the properties of whey protein-polyphenol complexes and conjugates are highlighted, and a variety of potential applications within the food industry are discussed, including as antioxidants, emulsifiers, and foaming agents. Finally, areas for future research are highlighted.

Abstract
In this study, protein isolate (PI) and purified phenolic extract (PPE) were prepared from Cinnamomum camphora seed kernel (CCSK). The effects of covalent modification of PI by PPE at different concentrations (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5%, w/w) were investigated with respect to structural properties and antioxidant activities of protein. Fifteen bioactive compounds in PPE were tentatively identified by UPLC-ESI-MSn. With the increase of PPE concentration, the turbidity, covalent binding rate, phenolic content and color intensity of the PI-PPE complexes were gradually increased. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy analysis showed that the secondary and tertiary structures of the complexes were changed and became greater order than PI. Furthermore, the complexes exhibited stronger thermal stability and antioxidant activities than those of PI. These results suggested that the protein-phenolic covalent complexes obtained from CCSK may have great potential to be used in food formulations as functional ingredients.
