Food Chem 2024; 459:140438. [PMID: 39024878 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
To investigate the structural characteristics of cell wall pectic polysaccharides from wampee, water soluble pectin (WSP), chelator-soluble pectin (CSP) and sodium carbonate-soluble pectin (SSP) were purified. And the inhibitory effects of wampee polyphenol (WPP) on pectinase when these cell wall pectic polysaccharides were used as substrates were also explored. Purified WSP (namely PWSP) had the lowest molecular weight (8.47 × 105 Da) and the highest GalA content (33.43%). While purified CSP (called PCSP) and SSP contained more abundant rhamnogalacturonan I side chains. All of them were low-methoxy pectin (DE < 50%). Enzyme activity and kinetics analysis showed that the inhibition of pectinase by wampee polyphenol was reversible and mixed type. When SSP was used as the substrate, WPP had the strongest inhibition (IC50 = 1.96 ± 0.06 mg/mL) on pectinase. Fluorescence quenching results indicated that WPP inhibited enzyme activity by interacting with substrates and enzymes. Therefore, WPP has the application potential in controlling softening of fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
Wound healing in diabetic patients presents significant challenges in clinical wound care due to high oxidative stress, excessive inflammation, and a microenvironment prone to infection. In this study, we successfully developed a multifunctional tandem dynamic covalently cross-linked hydrogel dressing aimed at diabetic wound healing. This hydrogel was constructed using cyanoacetic acid functionalized dextran (Dex-CA), 2-formylbenzoylboric acid (2-FPBA) and natural oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC), catalyzed by histidine. The resulting Dex-CA/OPC/2-FPBA (DPOPC) hydrogel can be dissolved triggered by cysteine, thereby achieving "controllable and non-irritating" dressing change. Furthermore, the incorporation of OPC as a hydrogel building block endowed the hydrogel with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The cross-linked network of the DPOPC hydrogel circumvents the burst release of OPC, enhancing its biosafety. In vivo studies demonstrated that the DPOPC hydrogel significantly accelerated the wound healing process in diabetic mice compared to a commercial hydrogel, achieving an impressive wound closure rate of 98 % by day 14. The DPOPC hydrogel effectively balanced the disrupted inflammatory state during the healing process. This dynamic hydrogel based on natural polyphenols is expected to be an ideal candidate for dressings intended for chronic wounds.

Abstract
Disturbing or disrupting the regular healing process of a skin wound may result in its progression to a chronic state. Chronic wounds often lead to increased infection because of their long healing time, malnutrition, and insufficient oxygen flow, subsequently affecting wound progression. Gelatin-the main structure of natural collagen-is widely used in biomedical fields because of its low cost, wide availability, biocompatibility, and degradability. However, gelatin may exhibit diverse tailored physical properties and poor antibacterial activity. Research on gelatin-based biomaterials has identified the challenges of improving gelatin's poor antibacterial properties and low mechanical properties. In chronic wounds, gelatin-based biomaterials can promote wound hemostasis, enhance peri-wound antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and promote vascular and epithelial cell regeneration. In this article, we first introduce the natural process of wound healing. Second, we present the role of gelatin-based biomaterials and gelatin as an additive in wound healing. Finally, we present the future implications of gelatin-based biomaterials.

Abstract
The inhibition of soluble polysaccharides (SPs) (arabic gum, dextran and pectin from citrus) on the binding between banana condensed tannins (BCTs) and pancreatic lipase (PL) was studied from variant aspects. Molecular docking simulations predicted that BCTs strongly bound SPs and PL through non-covalent interactions. The experimental results showed that SPs reduced the inhibition of BCTs on PL, and the IC50 value increased. However, the addition of SPs did not change the inhibitory type of BCTs on PL, which all were non-competitive inhibition. BCTs quenched PL fluorescence through static quenching mechanism and changed the secondary structure of PL. The addition of SPs alleviated the trending. The effect of SPs on the binding of BCTs-PL was mainly due to the strong non-covalent interaction between SPs and BCTs. This study emphasized that attention should be paid to the counteracting effects of polysaccharides and polyphenols in dietary intake to maximize their respective roles.

Abstract
AA9 lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent metalloenzymes that play a major role in cellulose degradation and plant infection. Understanding the AA9 LPMO mechanism would facilitate the improvement of plant pathogen control and the industrial application of LPMOs. Herein, via point mutation, we investigated the role of glycine 2 residue in cellulose degradation by Thermoascus aurantiacus AA9 LPMOs (TaAA9). A computational simulation showed that increasing the steric properties of this residue by replacing glycine with threonine or tyrosine altered the H-bonding network of the copper center and copper coordination geometry, decreased the surface charge of the catalytic center, weakened the TaAA9-substrate interaction, and enhanced TaAA9-product binding. Compared with wild-type TaAA9, G2T-TaAA9 and G2Y-TaAA9 variants showed attenuated copper affinity, reduced oxidative product diversity and decreased substrate Avicel binding, as determined using ITC, MALDI-TOF/TOF MS and cellulose binding analyses, respectively. Consistently, the enzymatic activity and synergy with cellulase of the G2T-TaAA9 and G2Y-TaAA9 variants were lower than those of TaAA9. Hence, the investigated residue crucially affects the catalytic activity of AA9 LPMOs, and we propose that the electropositivity of copper may correlate with AA9 LPMO activity. Thus, the relationship among the amino acid at position 2, surface charge and catalytic activity may facilitate an understanding of the proteins in AA9 LPMOs.

Abstract
Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) has antibacterial activity and coating-forming ability. Under the impact of noncovalent interactions, the bioactivity and functionality of CMCS may be positively affected by the coexistence of flavonoids. This study investigated the effect of a CMCS coating incorporated with flavonoids from guava (Psidium guajava L. cv. Carmine) leaf (GLF) on the refrigeration of fresh-cut apples for preservation. Compared with the CMCS group, apples treated with the CMCS-GLF coating showed better quality (weight loss, browning index, firmness), nutritional value (ascorbic acid and total phenolic content), and microbial safety during storage. The mechanism study indicated that the hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, and hydrophobic interactions between CMCS and GLF (the carboxymethyl moiety of CMCS had the highest response priority and binding strength of the interaction with -C-O of GLF) changed the surface charge distribution and microstructure of CMCS, and increased its molecular weight, particle size, viscosity, and hydrophobicity. Thus, the CMCS-GLF coating exerted better bioactivities (antibacterial and antioxidant activity), and its film showed better mechanical and barrier properties. These results revealed that the noncovalent interaction with GLF could modify the physiochemical properties of CMCS, which was beneficial to improve its bioactivity and application value in fresh fruit preservation.

Abstract
To explore the effect of Lonicera caerulea fruit polyphenols (LCP) on caries-causing bacteria, strain RYX-01 with high production of biofilm and exopolysaccharides (EPS) was isolated from the oral cavity of caries patients and was identified as Lactobacillus rhamnosus by 16S rDNA analysis and morphology. The characteristics of EPS produced by RYX-01 (EPS-CK) and those produced by adding L. caerulea fruit polyphenols (EPS-LCP) were compared to reveal whether LCP reduced the cariogenicity of RYX-01 by influencing the structure and composition of EPS. The results showed that LCP could increase the content of galactose in EPS and destroy the original aggregation state of EPS-CK but had no significant effect on the molecular weight and functional group composition of EPS (p > 0.05). At the same time, LCP could inhibit the growth of RYX-01, reduce EPS and biofilm formation and inhibit the expression of quorum sensing (QS, luxS)- and biofilm formation (wzb)-related genes. Therefore, LCP could change the surface morphology, content and composition of RYX-01 EPS and reduce the cariogenic effect of EPS and biofilm. In conclusion, LCP can be used as a potential plaque biofilm inhibitor and QS inhibitor in drugs and functional foods.

Abstract
Natural polymers have been particularly appealing for constructing hemostatic materials/devices, but it is still desirable to develop new natural polymer-based biomaterials with balanced hemostatic and wound-healing performance. In this work, a natural polyphenol-functionalized chitosan/gelatin sponge (PCGS) was prepared by the lyophilization of a chitosan/gelatin mixture solution (under a self-foaming condition to prepare the CGS) and subsequent chemical cross-linking with procyanidin (PC). Compared with the original CGS, PCGS exhibited an enhanced liquid-absorption ability, reduced surface charges, and similar/low hemolysis rate. Benefiting from such a liquid-absorption ability (∼4000% for whole blood and normal saline) and moderate surface charges, PCGS exhibited high in vitro hemostatic property and promising hemostatic performance in an in vivo femoral-artery-injury model. In addition, PCGS possessed higher antioxidant property and slightly decreased antibacterial ability than CGS, owing to the incorporation of PC. The feasibility of PCGS for treating infected wounds was further confirmed in an in vivo infected-tooth-extraction model, as the typical complication of intractable tooth-extraction bleeding. The present work demonstrated a facile approach for developing multifunctional hemostatic materials through the flexible management of natural polymers and polyphenols.

Abstract
The non-covalent binding between flavanols and polysaccharides has impacts on their bioactivities, but the binding mechanism is less understood. This work aimed to unveil the non-covalent interactions between epicatechin gallate (ECG) and anionic carboxymethyl Poria cocos polysaccharide (CMPN) at the structural and molecular level based on the synergistic antibacterial effect between them. The results suggested that there was hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and electrostatic interaction between ECG and CMPN, which was also supported by the results of molecular dynamics simulations. The resulting changes in physicochemical properties enhanced the antibacterial activity of the ECG-CMPN mixture. More specifically, through two-dimensional Fourier transform infrared correlation spectrum (2D-FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) analysis, COO- in CMPN carboxymethyl and CO in ECG galloyl had the highest response priority and binding strength in the interaction, allowing us to conclude the critical functional groups that affect the non-covalent interactions of polysaccharide and flavanols and their bioactivities.

Abstract
Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) is a well-known food and medicinal plant. Lotus seedpod (Receptaculum Nelumbinis) is the by-products during lotus products processing, which is considered as waste. Numerous studies have been conducted on its phytochemicals, biological activity and industrial application. However, the information on lotus seedpod is scattered and has been rarely summarized. In this review, summaries on preparation and identification of phytochemicals, the biological activities of extracts and phytochemicals, and applications of raw material, extracts and phytochemicals for lotus seedpod were made. Meanwhile, the future study trend was proposed. Recent evidence indicated that lotus seedpods extracts, obtained by non-organic and organic solvents, possessed several activities, which were influenced by extraction solvents and methods. Lotus seedpods were rich in phytochemicals categorized as different chemical groups, such as proanthocyanidins, oligomeric procyanidins, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, etc. These phytochemicals exhibited various bioactivities, including ameliorating cognitive impairment, antioxidation, antibacterial, anti-glycative, neuroprotection, anti-tyrosinase and other activities. Raw material, extracts and phytochemicals of lotus seedpods could be utilized as sources for biochar and biomass material, in food industry and as dye. This review gives well-understanding on lotus seedpod, and provides theoretical basis for its future research and application.

Structure characterization, antioxidant and emulsifying capacities of exopolysaccharide derived from Tetragenococcus halophilus SNTH-8. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 208:288-298. [PMID: 35248612 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.02.186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2021] [Revised: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
Tetragenococcus halophilus exopolysaccharides (THPS) are metabolites released by T. halophilus SNTH-8 to resist a high-salt environment. Although many studies have investigated the mechanisms underlying salt tolerance shown by T. halophilus, structural characteristics as well as antioxidant and emulsifying capacities of THPS remain unclear. In this study, we isolated and purified two components, THPS-1 and THPS-2, from T. halophilus SNTH-8. Purified THPS-1 and THPS-2 were composed of arabinose, xylose, fucose, galactose, glucose, and glucuronic acid at a molar ratio of 1.66:38.95:2.11:26.12:29.73:1.43 and 0.46:40.3:0.54:30.8:1.36:25.54, respectively. The average molecular weights of THPS-1 and THPS-2 were 14.98 kDa and 21.03 kDa, respectively. Moreover, the structures of THPS-1 and THPS-2 were investigated via fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(NMR), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and methylation analysis. THPS-1 was a highly branched polysaccharide with a backbone of α-D-(1,4)-Xyl, α-D-(1,6)-Glc and α-D-Xyl as the terminal, while THPS-2 was a highly branched polysaccharide with a backbone of α-D-(1,4)-Xyl and β-D-GlcA as the terminal. The branches were identified as β-D-(1,4,6)-Gal and β-D-(1,6)-Gal. Both THPS-1 and THPS-2 exhibited high antioxidant and emulsifying capacities. Overall, our structural analysis of THPS may further enhance research on natural emulsifiers and antioxidants.

Abstract
Synergistic antibacterial effect is a promising way to overcome the challenge of microbial contamination in food. In this study, we detected the synergistic interactions of nisin and carvacrol. The MIC of nisin and carvacrol against S. aureus were 60 and 125 μg/mL, respectively. The FICI and FBCI were 0.28125 and 0.09375, which suggested that the nisin/carvacrol combination presented synergistic antibacterial effect against S. aureus. The antibacterial activity of nisin/carvacrol combination was much higher than their individuals and the dose of antibacterials was obviously reduced. The combination could completely kill S. aureus within 8 h, accelerate the destruction of cell membrane, and inhibit formation of biofilm. Under the intervention of nisin, more CAR could enter cell to hunt intracellular targets, leading to an increase in intracellular antibacterial level. Besides, in the storage of pasteurized milk, the combinational treatment successfully inhibited microbial reproduction at 25 °C and 4 °C. Thus, the combination of nisin and carvacrol was a potential synergistic strategy for food preservation.

Abstract
Procyanidin is an important polyphenol for its health-promoting properties, however, the study of procyanidin in sea buckthorn was limited. In this paper, sea buckthorn procyanidin (SBP) was obtained through a green isolation and enrichment technique with an extraction rate and purity of 9.1% and 91.5%. The structure of SBP was analyzed using Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The results show that SBP is an oligomeric procyanidin, mainly composed of (−)-epicatechin gallate, procyanidin B, (+)-gallocatechin-(+)-catechin, and (+)-gallocatechin dimer. SBP showed superior scavenging capacity on free radicals. Furthermore, the cleaning rate of the ABTS radical was 4.8 times higher than vitamin C at the same concentration. Moreover, SBP combined with vitamin C presented potent synergistic antioxidants with combined index values below 0.3 with concentration rates from 5:5 to 2:8. SBP also provided significant protection against oxidative stress caused by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on RAW264.7 cells. These findings prove the potential of SBP as a natural antioxidant in food additives and support the in-depth development of sea buckthorn resources. A green method for the extraction of procyanidin was proposed. An oligomeric procyanidin in sea buckthorn was identified for the first time. SBP combined with VC exerted strong synergistic antioxidant. SBP provided protection of macrophages against oxidative damage.

Abstract
The extent of retrogradation strongly affects certain physical and cooking properties of rice starch (RS), which are important to consumers. In this study, oligomeric procyanidins from lotus seedpod (LSOPC) was prepared and used to investigate its inhibitory effect on RS retrogradation. Various structural changes of RS during retrogradation were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, low field nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed LSOPC could effectively retard both short- and long-term retrogradation of RS, and its inhibitory effect was dependent on the administered concentration of LSOPC. Molecule simulation revealed the interactions of RS and LSOPC, which indicated that the competition of hydrogen bonds between RS and LSOPC was the critical factor for anti-retrogradation. This inhibitory effect and mechanism of action of LSOPC could promote its applications in the field of starch anti-retrogradation.

Abstract
AbstractCurdlan is an exopolysaccharide, specifically a homopolysaccharide, with a high molecular weight that is made up entirely of monomeric glucose molecules connected by β-1,3-glycosidic bonds. Curdlan was first isolated in 1962 by Harada and his colleagues from Alcaligenes faecalis var myxogenes 10C3. Microbial synthesis of this curdlan is mainly associated with soil bacteria. Preliminary screening of curdlan-producing microorganisms is done on aniline blue media. The aniline blue positive microorganisms are subjected to submerged fermentation for the production of curdlan. To improve the yield of curdlan produced, various optimization techniques are employed such as Plackett–Burman, response surface methodology, and others. Curdlan can be characterized by its morphology, gel strength, its infrared, and magnetic resonances among many other characteristics. Due to its distinctive physicochemical and rheological properties, it has gained immense popularity in the food, biomedical, and pharmaceutical sectors. However, curdlan’s functionality can be improved by chemically modifying curdlan to obtain grafted curdlan, hydrogels, and nanocomposites which are discussed in detail herewith. Curdlan was authorized to be used in the food industry by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 1996 and also in 1989 in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. Over the years, many patents using curdlan have also been filed from different parts of the world. This review provides information about its structure, biosynthesis, production strategies, optimization, characterization, applications, and patents.

Abstract
To solve the potential problem of hindered β-galactosidase activity by procyanidins, carboxymethylated Pachyman (CMP), a negatively-charged carboxymethylated (1 → 3)-β-d-glucan, was applied to mitigate inhibition by procyanidins. The mechanisms underlying this effect were explored through enzyme kinetic analysis, fluorescence quenching assays, circular dichroism, and molecular docking studies. The results indicated that the introduction of CMP could decrease the inhibition rate of high-concentration lotus seedpod oligomeric procyanidins (LSOPC) from 98.7 to 46.5%, and enabled low-concentration LSOPC to activate β-galactosidase in vitro and in vivo. The competitive/noncompetitive inhibition constants, fluorescence quenching constants, and molecular docking results indicated that the mechanism of this effect might be CMP competing with β-galactosidase to bind procyanidins, resulting in restoration of the catalytic centre and key active site of procyanidin-bound lactase. Additionally, it was affected by procyanidin-CMP noncovalent interactions. This study illustrates a promising strategy for mitigating the anti-nutritional properties of procyanidins and activating β-galactosidase to promote intestinal health.

Abstract
Poria cocos is the dried sclerotium of Wolfiporia cocos (F.A. Wolf) Ryvarden & Gilb., which was the current accepted name and was formerly known as Macrohyporia cocos (Schwein.) I. Johans. & Ryvarden, Pachyma cocos (Schwein.) Fr., Poria cocos F.A. Wolf and Sclerotium cocos Schwein. It is one of the most important crude drugs in traditional Chinese medicine, with a wide range of applications in ameliorating phlegm and edema, relieving nephrosis and chronic gastritis and improving uneasiness of minds. Its extensive pharmacological effects have attracted considerable attention in recent years. However, there is no systematic review focusing on the chemical compounds and pharmacological activities of Poria cocos. Therefore, this review aimed to provide the latest information on the chemical compounds and pharmacological effects of Poria cocos, exploring the therapeutic potential of these compounds. We obtained the information of Poria cocos from electronic databases such as SCI finder, PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang DATA and Google Scholar. Up to now, two main active ingredients, triterpenes and polysaccharides of Poria cocos, have been identified from Poria cocos. It has been reported that they have pharmacological effects on anti-tumor, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulation, and liver and kidney protection. The review summarizes the phytochemistry and pharmacological properties of Poria cocos, which suggest that researchers should focus on the development of new drugs about Poria cocos to make them exert greater therapeutic potential.

Lotus seedpod proanthocyanidin-whey protein complexes: Impact on physical and chemical stability of β-carotene-nanoemulsions. Food Res Int 2019; 127:108738.

Abstract
The impact of lotus seedpod proanthocyanidin (LSPC) on the functional properties of β-carotene-loaded whey-protein stabilized nanoemulsions was investigated. LSPC was selected because it is known to exhibit strong antioxidant activity, as well as having various health benefits. Physically stable nanoemulsions containing small anionic droplets (d < 0.15 μm; ζ = -27 mV) could be formed at pH 6.5 using whey protein-LSPC complexes as natural emulsifiers. The physical and chemical stabilities of the nanoemulsions were then measured when they were incubated at different pH values. LSPC addition promoted droplet aggregation at pH 4, but not at pH 3, 6.5, or 8, which was mainly attributed to its ability to reduce the electrostatic repulsion between the lipid droplets at pH 4. LSPC was shown to have stronger antioxidant activity than catechin and epicatechin. Our results show that the chemical stability of β-carotene nanoemulsions could be considerably improved by adding LSPC. We believe that LSPC-whey protein complexes can be used as effective emulsifiers and antioxidants in nutraceutical-loaded nanoemulsions, which may be useful for developing more efficacious functional foods and beverages.
