Food Chem 2024; 446:138813. [PMID: 38402770 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138813] [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: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of different concentrations of hydroxytyrosol (HT) covalently bound to soy protein isolate (SPI) by the alkaline method on the structure and function of the adducts. The amount of polyphenol bound to SPI first increased to a maximum of 42.83 % ± 1.08 % and then decreased. After the covalent binding of HT to SPI, turbidity and in vitro protein digestibility increased and decreased significantly with increasing concentrations of HT added, respectively, and the structure of SPI was changed. The adducts had a maximum solubility of 52.52 % ± 0.33 %, and their water holding capacity reached a maximum of 8.22 ± 0.11 g/g at a concentration of 50 μmol/g of HT. Covalent modification with HT significantly increased the emulsifying and foaming properties and antioxidant activity of SPI; the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging rates increased by 296.89 % and 33.80 %, respectively, at a concentration of 70 μmol/g of HT.

Abstract
The interactions between proteins and chlorogenic acid (CGA) have gained significant attention in recent years, not only as a promising approach to modify the structural and techno-functional properties of proteins but also to enhance their bioactive potential in food systems. These interactions can be divided into covalent (chemical or irreversible) and non-covalent (physical or reversible) linkages. Mechanistically, CGA forms covalent bonds with nucleophilic amino acid residues of proteins by alkaline, free radical, and enzymatic approaches, leading to changes in protein structure and functionality, such as solubility, emulsification properties, and antioxidant activity. In addition, the protein-CGA complexes can be obtained by hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, and van der Waals forces, each offering unique advantages and outcomes. This review highlights the mechanism of these interactions and their importance in modifying the structural, functional, nutritional, and physiological attributes of animal- and plant-based proteins. Moreover, the potential applications of these protein-CGA conjugates/complexes are explored in various food systems, such as beverages, films and coatings, emulsion-based delivery systems, and so on. Overall, this literature review provides an in-depth overview of protein-CGA interactions, offering valuable insights for future research to develop novel protein-based food and non-food products with improved nutritional and functional characteristics.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129217. [PMID: 38184043 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129217] [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: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
In this investigation, soybean protein isolate-rutin (SPI-RT) complexes were treated using dynamic high-pressure microfluidization (DHPM). The effects of this process on the physicochemical and thermodynamic properties of SPI were investigated at different pressures. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy provided evidence that the SPI structure had been altered. The binding of SPI to RT resulted in a decrease in the percentage of α-helices and random curls as well as an increase in the percentage of β-sheets. In particular, the α-helix content decreased from 29.84 % to 26.46 %, the random curl content decreased from 17.45 % to 15.57 %, and the β-sheet content increased from 25.37 % to 26.53 %. Moreover, fluorescence intensity decreased, and the emission peak of the complex was red-shifted by 6 nm, exposing the internal groups. Based on fluorescence quenching analysis, optimal SPI-RT complexation was achieved after 120-MPa DHPM treatment, and molecular docking analysis verified the interaction between SPI and RT. The minimum particle size, maximum absolute potential, and total phenolic content of the complexes were 78.06 nm, 21.4 mV and 74.35 nmol/mg protein, respectively. Furthermore, laser confocal microscopy revealed that the complex particles had the best microstructure. Non-covalent interactions between the two were confirmed using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Moreover, the hydrophobicity of the complex particle's surface increased to 16,045 after 120-MPa DHPM treatment. The results of this study suggest that DHPM strongly promotes the improvement of the physicochemical properties of SPI, and provide a theoretical groundwork for further research.

Phytother Res 2023; 37:5622-5638. [PMID: 37690983 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.8009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Hypertension is a major global health problem that causes target organ damage (TOD) in the heart, brain, kidney, and blood vessels. The mechanisms of hypertensive TOD are not fully understood, and its treatment is challenging. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on the role of Nod-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in hypertensive TOD and the natural products and formulations that inhibit it. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and CNKI for relevant articles using the keywords "hypertension," "target organ damage," "NLRP3 inflammasome," "natural products," and "formulations." We reviewed the effects of the NLRP3 inflammasome on hypertensive TOD in different organs and discussed the natural products and formulations that modulate it. KEY RESULTS In hypertensive TOD, the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated by various stimuli such as oxidative stress and inflammation. Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome leads to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines that exacerbate tissue damage and dysfunction. Natural products and formulations, including curcumin, resveratrol, triptolide, and allicin, have shown protective effects against hypertensive TOD by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The NLRP3 inflammasome is a promising therapeutic target in hypertensive TOD. Natural products and formulations that inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome may provide novel drug candidates or therapies for hypertensive TOD. Further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and optimize the dosages of these natural products and formulations and evaluate their clinical efficacy and safety.

Abstract
Along with health concerns, interest in plants as food and bioactive phytochemical sources has been increased in the last few decades. Phytochemicals as secondary plant metabolites have been the subject of many studies in different fields. Breakthrough for research interest on this topic is re-juvenilized with rising relevance in this global pandemics' era. The recent COVID-19 pandemic attracted the attention of people to viral infections and molecular mechanisms behind these infections. Thus, the core of the present review is the interaction of plant phytochemicals with proteins as these interactions can affect the functions of co-existing proteins, especially focusing on microbial proteins. To the best of our knowledge, there is no work covering the protein-phenolic interactions based on their effects on microbiota and microbial infections. The present review collects and defines the recent data, representing the interactions of phenolic compounds -primarily flavonoids and phenolic acids- with various proteins and explores how these molecular-level interactions account for the human health directly and/or indirectly, such as increased antioxidant properties and antimicrobial capabilities. Furthermore, it provides an insight about the further biological activities of interacted protein-phenolic structure from an antiviral activity perspective. The research on the protein-phenolic interaction mechanisms is of great value for guiding how to take advantage of synergistic effects of proteins and polyphenolics for future medical and nutritive approaches and related technologies.
