Abstract
Hydrogels, due to their excellent microstructure and mechanical strength, have become a novel biomaterial in wound dressing. However, plant proteins have never been considered because of their poor original gelling performances and insufficient rheological properties. Here, we reported the fabrication of a plant protein-based thermal-reversible gel using a reverse micelle-extracted hemp protein isolate (HPI). A systematic study was conducted to fully reveal their microstructure, rheological properties, and anti-inflammatory effect to lay a foundation for this newly developed plant protein hydrogel as a potential natural wound dressing. By modulating protein concentration (4% HPI) and temperature (85 °C), a thermal-reversible HPI gel appeared as a filament structure with the major molecular driving force of hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. By characterizing the rheological properties, lower gel strength and wider linear viscoelastic regime were determined in the thermal-reversible HPI gel compared with a thermal-irreversible HPI gel. Besides, large amplitude oscillatory shear data identified the thermal-reversible gel as a soft gel which demonstrated intracycle strain stiffening and shear thinning behavior. Moreover, the thermal-reversible HPI gel is nontoxic and has benefits in neutrophil growth with injectability and perfect wound coverage. This study opens a novel means to form a natural thermal-reversible hydrogel that can be a new material source for wound dressing.

[PMID: 38823202 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139590] [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: 09/02/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to improve mung bean protein's gelation qualities via microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) cross-linking. The mTGase treatment significantly improved gel hardness and storage modulus (G') at higher enzyme levels (2 IU/g), peaking hardness at 3 h. The scanning electron microscopy imaging demonstrated more cross-linked structures at 2 IU/g, evolving into a dense network by 3 h. The water-holding capacity for mTGase-treated samples (2 IU/g, 3 h, 55 °C) tripled to 3.77 ± 0.06 g/g versus control (1.24 ± 0.02 g/g), alongside a 15 % decrease in zeta potential (-30.84 ± 0.901 mV versus control's -26.63 ± 0.497 mV) and an increase in emulsifying activity index to 4.519 ± 0.004 m2/g from 3.79 ± 0.01 m2/g (control). The confocal images showed a more uniform lipid droplet distribution in mTGase-treated samples, suggesting enhanced emulsifying activity. Thus, mTGase treatment significantly improved gel strength and emulsifying properties, making it ideal for plant-based seafood products.

Abstract
Biopolymer hydrogels have a broad range of applications as soft materials in a variety of commercial products, including foods, cosmetics, agrochemicals, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and biomedical products. They consist of a network of entangled or crosslinked biopolymer molecules that traps relatively large quantities of water and provides semi-solid properties, like viscoelasticity or plasticity. Composite biopolymer hydrogels contain inclusions (fillers) to enhance their functional properties, including solid particles, liquid droplets, gas bubbles, nanofibers, or biological cells. These fillers vary in their composition, size, shape, rheology, and surface properties, which influences their impact on the rheological properties of the biopolymer hydrogels. In this article, the various types of biopolymers used to fabricate composite hydrogels are reviewed, with an emphasis on edible proteins and polysaccharides from sustainable sources, such as plants, algae, or microbial fermentation. The different kinds of gelling mechanism exhibited by these biopolymers are then discussed, including heat-, cold-, ion-, pH-, enzyme-, and pressure-set mechanisms. The different ways that biopolymer molecules can organize themselves in single and mixed biopolymer hydrogels are then highlighted, including polymeric, particulate, interpenetrating, phase-separated, and co-gelling systems. The impacts of incorporating fillers on the rheological properties of composite biopolymer hydrogels are then discussed, including mathematical models that have been developed to describe these effects. Finally, potential applications of composite biopolymer hydrogels are presented, including as delivery systems, packaging materials, artificial tissues, wound healing materials, meat analogs, filters, and adsorbents. The information provided in this article is intended to stimulate further research into the development and application of composite biopolymer hydrogels.

Abstract
Although noncovalent interactions and covalent reactions between phenolic compounds and proteins have been investigated across diverse scientific disciplines, a comprehensive understanding and identification of their products remain elusive. This review will initially outline the chemical framework and, subsequently, delve into unresolved or debated chemical and functional food-related implications, as well as forthcoming challenges in this topic. The primary objective is to elucidate the multiple aspects of protein-phenolic interactions and reactions, along with the underlying overwhelming dynamics and possibilities of follow-up reactions and potential crosslinking between proteins and phenolic compounds. The resulting products are challenging to identify and characterize analytically, as interactions and reactions occur concurrently, mutually influencing each other. Moreover, they are being modulated by various conditions such as the reaction parameters and, obviously, the chemical structure. Additionally, this review delineates the resulting discrepancies and challenges of properties and attributes such as color, taste, foaming, emulsion and gel formation, as well as effects on protein digestibility and allergenicity. Ultimately, this review is an opinion paper of a group of experts, dealing with these challenges for quite a while and aiming at equipping researchers with a critical and systematic approach to address current research gaps concerning protein-phenolic interactions and reactions.

Abstract
We are studying the destructuration of canola protein gels, as a solid food model, during in situ gastrointestinal digestion using synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Digestion of two gels, prepared by heating pH 8 and pH 11 solutions, was carried out by diffusion of enzymatic juices into the gel from the top of the capillary and monitored for several tens of hours. Very similar time evolutions of SAXS curves occur at different positions of the gel in the capillary, with a delay determined by the distance from the surface initially in contact with the digestive juice. The main phenomena observed are (i) at the scale of the protein conformation (1-5 nm). The scattering curve is a power law, the exponent of which measures the compactness (related to the degree of unfolding). It can be plotted as a function of the characteristic size of proteins/and interprotein distances and as a function of the scattering intensity. Such diagrams clearly show successive digestion processes. For the pH 11 gel, in which proteins are initially hardly unfolded, the digestive processes are unfolding (1st step), recompaction-aggregation phenomena (2nd step) due to gastrointestinal pH conditions and enzymatic cleavage, further unfolding-disaggregation (3rd step), and final protein cleavage (4th step) down to small peptides. For the pH 8 gel, proteins are initially unfolded, and only the last three steps are observed, showing the influence of easier access for the enzymes. (ii) At the scale of large aggregates (10-50 nm), we observe for both gels a decrease in the size and/or number of these aggregates during digestion and alteration of their interfaces. (iii) At the scale of the secondary protein structure, wide-angle X-ray scattering is very useful for detecting the degradation of the secondary protein structure at different steps of digestion.

Abstract
The effects of oil type, emulsifier type, and emulsion particle size on the texture, gel strength, and rheological properties of SPI emulsion-filled gel (SPI-FG) and TFSP emulsion-filled gel (TFSP-FG) were investigated. Using soybean protein isolate or sodium caseinate as emulsifiers, emulsions with cocoa butter replacer (CBR), palm oil (PO), virgin coconut oil (VCO), and canola oil (CO) as oil phases were prepared. These emulsions were filled into SPI and TFSP gel substrates to prepare emulsion-filled gels. Results that the hardness and gel strength of both gels increased with increasing emulsion content when CBR was used as the emulsion oil phase. However, when the other three liquid oils were used as the oil phase, the hardness and gel strength of TFSP-FG decreased with the increasing of emulsion content, but those of SPI-FG increased when SPI was used as emulsifier. Additionally, the hardness and gel strength of both TFSP-FG and SPI-FG increased with the decreasing of mean particle size of emulsions. Rheological measurements were consistent with textural measurements and found that compared with SC, TFSP-FG, and SPI-FG showed higher G' values when SPI was used as emulsifier. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) observation showed that the distribution and stability of emulsion droplets in TFSP-FG and SPI-FG were influenced by the oil type, emulsifier type and emulsion particle size. SPI-stabilized emulsion behaved as active fillers in SPI-FG reinforcing the gel matrix; however, the gel matrix of TFSP-FG still had many void pores when SPI-stabilized emulsion was involved. In conclusion, compared to SPI-FG, the emulsion filler effect that could reinforce gel networks became weaker in TFSP-FG.

Abstract
With the increased environmental concerns and health awareness among consumers, there has been a notable interest in plant-based dairy alternatives. The plant-based yogurt market has experienced rapid expansion in recent years. Due to challenges related to cultivation, higher cost of production and lower protein content researchers have explored the viability of pulse-based yogurt which has arisen as an economically and nutritionally abundant solution. This review aims to examine the feasibility of utilizing pulse protein for yogurt production. The nutritional, antinutritional, and functional characteristics of various pulses were discussed in detail, alongside the modifications in these properties during the various stages of yogurt manufacturing. The review also sheds light on pivotal findings from existing literature and outlines challenges associated with the production of pulse-based yogurt. Pulses have emerged as promising base materials for yogurt manufacturing due to their favorable nutritional and functional characteristics. Further, the fermentation process can effectively reduce antinutritional components and enhance digestibility. Nonetheless, variations in sensorial and rheological properties were noted when different types of pulses were employed. This issue can be addressed by employing suitable combinations to achieve the desired properties in pulse-based yogurt.

Abstract
The molecular structure and morphologies of complex colloidal particles with modified glycine (S-11S) and d-galactose were studied by multispectral, microscopic imaging and chromatographic techniques at different temperatures, and the self-assembly and aggregation mechanisms were determined. Overall, high-temperature-treated S-11S and d-galactose associate at cysteine and phenylalanine sites and self-assemble into colloidal particles of greater stability than glycinin and S-11S via ionic and disulfide bonds. The structure and subunit content of composite colloidal particles were changed. Assessing the sub-microstructure reveals that temperature can regulate the directional aggregation of complex colloidal particles. The elasticity of the complex colloidal particles is maximum enhanced at 95 ℃ as confirmed by the rheological. Thus, the heat-treated aggregation of the soy protein and its complex was evaluated to provide a new theoretical basis for the application of soy protein in gels and other areas and contribute to the design of new soy protein products.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the gelling behavior of faba bean (FB) and chickpea (CP) flour between 10 and 20% (w/w) concentration at pH 3.0, 5.0, and 7.0. Both sources formed at pH 3.0 and 5.0 self-standing gels with 12% (w/w) of flour, while 16% (w/w) of flour was required to obtain a gel at pH 7.0. During gelling between 40 and 70 °C, a sharp increase of the elastic modulus G' was observed in both flours, mainly due to water absorption and swelling of the starch, one of the major constituents in the ingredients. Increasing the temperature at 95 °C, G' increased due to the denaturation of globulins and therefore the exposure of their internal part, which allowed more hydrophobic interactions and the formation of the gel. After cooling, both FB and CP gels displayed a solid-like behavior (tan δ ranging between 0.11 and 0.18) with G' values at pH 3.0 and 5.0 significantly (p < 0.05) higher than those at pH 7.0, due to the lower electrostatic repulsions at pHs far from the isoelectric point. The rheological properties were supported by the water binding capacity values, confirming the better gels' strength described by rheological analysis. These results will enhance our understanding of the role of legume flours in formulating innovative and sustainable food products as alternatives to animal ones.

Abstract
The potential to produce protein-structured vegan yogurts with legumes was explored to offer an alternative to conventional polysaccharide-based varieties. Glucono-δ-lactone (GDL) was employed as a slow acidifying agent and was investigated for its ability to generate cold-set, yogurt-like gels using soy and lentil milks made using minimal processing steps. Soy (5.3 % protein) and lentil (6.1 % protein) milks were successfully gelled by GDL at concentrations of 0.5 % and 1 % w/w. Soy and lentil milks experienced similar acidification profiles and demonstrated good fits with double-exponential decay models. The physical properties of these legume gels were evaluated and compared to a commercial stirred dairy yogurt. Penetration tests were carried out on intact gels, then repeated after stirring. All intact soy samples demonstrated significantly stronger gel structures compared to the commercial yogurt, and most experienced greater amounts of brittleness. Results showed that the stirring of gels caused a notable decrease in firmness and brittleness in the soy gels, making them more similar to the control. Power-law modelling of viscosity curves demonstrated that all samples experienced non-Newtonian flow behavior (n < 0.29). Susceptibility to syneresis was measured by the degree of liquid loss following centrifugation. The optimization of protein type and GDL concentration to replicate the physical properties of dairy-based yogurts can enhance their consumer acceptance and provide a more customizable and controlled approach alternative to traditional fermentation methods.

[PMID: 38672868 PMCID: PMC11049411 DOI: 10.3390/foods13081195] [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: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
A new form of plant-based meat, known as 'high-moisture meat analogs' (HMMAs), is captivating the market because of its ability to mimic fresh, animal muscle meat. Utilizing pea protein in the formulation of HMMAs provides unique labeling opportunities, as peas are both "non-GMO" and low allergen. However, many of the commercial pea protein isolate (PPI) types differ in functionality, causing variation in product quality. Additionally, PPI inclusion has a major impact on final product texture. To understand the collective impact of these variables, two studies were completed. The first study compared four PPI types while the second study assessed differences in PPI inclusion amount (30-60%). Both studies were performed on a Wenger TX-52 extruder, equipped with a long-barrel cooling die. Rapid-visco analysis (RVA) and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) indicated differences in protein solubility among the different PPI types. In general, lower protein solubility led to better product quality, based on visual evaluation. Cutting strength and texture profile analysis showed increasing PPI inclusion from 30-60% led to significantly higher product hardness (14,160-16,885 g) and toughness (36,690-46,195 g. s). PPI4 led to lower product toughness (26,110 and 33,725 g. s), compared to the other PPIs (44,620-60,965 g. s). Heat gelling capacity of PPI4 was also highest among PPI types, by way of least gelation concentration (LGC) and RVA. When compared against animal meat, using more PPI (50-60%) better mimicked the overall texture and firmness of beef steak and pork chops, while less PPI better represented a softer product like chicken breast. In summary, protein content and also functionality such as cold water solubility and heat gelation dictated texturization and final product quality. High cold water solubility and poor heat gelation properties led to excessive protein cross linking and thicker yet less laminated shell or surface layer. This led to lower cutting firmness and toughness, and less than desirable product texture as compared to animal meat benchmarks. On the other hand, pea proteins with less cold water solubility and higher propensity for heat gelation led to products with more laminated surface layer, and higher cutting test and texture profile analysis response. These relationships will be useful for plant-based meat manufacturers to better tailor their products and choice of ingredients.

Abstract
The gelation of walnut protein isolates has not been extensively studied, mainly due to their inherent poor dispersity. This study investigated the gelation of alkaline-extracted walnut protein isolates (AWPI) and phosphorylated walnut protein isolates (PWPI) induced by heat treatment with glucono-δ-lactone (GDL) acidification, focusing on the impact of GDL concentrations on microstructure, rheology, and texture of the resulting gels. The PWPI gel exhibited lower hardness but a smoother structure than the AWPI gel. Notably, acidification with GDL (0.6-1.2%) significantly increased the stiffness of PWPI gels, increasing storage modulus and yield stress 10-50 times, while weakening AWPI gels. Varying concentrations of GDL effectively modulated the microstructure of the PWPI gels, leading to the altered texture (from a soft-solid state to a well-self-supporting stiff-solid gel) and water holding capacity (from approximately 46% to 85%). Additionally, hydrophobic interactions and disulfide bonds were identified as the primary forces involved in the gels.

Abstract
Inks based on soybean protein isolate (SPI) were developed and their formulations were optimized as a function of the ink heat treatment and the content of other biopolymers to assess the effects of protein-polysaccharides and protein-protein interactions. First, the rheological behavior of the inks was analyzed in relation to the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentration employed (20, 25, and 30 wt%) and, as a result of the analysis, the ink with 25 wt% PVA was selected. Additionally, sodium alginate (SA) and gelatin (GEL) were added to the formulations to improve the viscoelastic properties of the inks and the effect of the SA or GEL concentrations (1, 2, and 3 wt%) was studied. All inks showed shear thinning behavior and self-supporting abilities. Among all the 3D printed scaffolds, those with higher SA (3 wt%) or GEL (2 and 3 wt%) content showed higher shape fidelity and were selected for further characterization. Texture profile analysis demonstrated that the scaffolds prepared with previously heat-treated inks containing 3 wt% GEL showed the highest strength. Additionally, these scaffolds showed a higher water-uptake capacity profile.

Abstract
Soy protein gel can be developed into a variety of products, ranging from traditional food (e.g., tofu) to newly developed food (e.g., soy yogurt and meat analog). So far, efforts are still needed to be made on modifying the gel properties of soy protein for improving its sensory properties as animal protein-based food substitutes. Furthermore, there is always a need to regulate its gel properties for designing novel and tailored products of soy protein gels due to the fast-growing plant protein-based product market. This review gave an emphasis on the latest modification strategies and applications of gel properties of soy protein. The modifying methods of soy protein gel properties were reviewed from an aspect of composition or processing. Compositional modification included changing protein composition and gelling conditions and using additives, whereas processing strategies can be achieved through physical, chemical, and enzymatic treatments. Several compositional modification and processing strategies have been both proven to alter the gel properties of soy protein effectively. So far, soy protein gel has been applied in the field of food and biomedicine. In the future, more mechanistic studies on the modification methods are still needed to facilitate the full application of soy protein gel.

Abstract
In this study, interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels were developed based on sage seed gum (SSG) and globulin protein (Glo) extracted from the mucilage-free seeds. By combining Glo hydrogel with the SSG network the inherent weak gelation of the single SSG system was compensated. As the fraction of Glo increased, various properties of the interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels improved substantially. Electrophoretic analysis under reducing conditions showed that Glo dissociated into subunits of approximately 30 kDa and 20 kDa, suggesting it comprises 11S globulin. FTIR spectrum revealed new peaks at 1645 cm-1 and 1537 cm-1 in the amide I and II regions, respectively, for the IPN hydrogels, indicating interactions between two hydrogel networks. Based on the weight loss measurements, the IPN hydrogels exhibited lower mass loss, particularly at higher Glo fractions up to 6 %. The IPN hydrogels also displayed enhanced elasticity, pseudoelasticity, thixotropy, and creep resistance compared to SSG hydrogel, indicating suitability for food, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications. More broadly, this research provides a sustainable strategy toward innovative material development while advancing bio-based hydrogels.

Abstract
Consumers who are environmentally and health conscious are increasingly looking for plant-based alternatives to replace animal-based products in their daily diets. Among these alternatives, there is a growing demand for meat analogues that closely resemble the taste and texture of meat. As a result, significant efforts have been dedicated to developing meat analogues with a desirable meat-like structure. Currently, soy protein and wheat gluten are the main ingredients used for producing these meat analogues due to their availability and unique functionalities. This study observed that high moisture extrusion at moisture levels of 50-80% has become a common approach for creating fibrous structures, with soy protein and wheat gluten being considered incompatible proteins. After the structuring process, they form two-phase filled gels, with wheat gluten acting as the continuous phase and soy protein serving as a filler material. Moreover, the formation of soy protein and wheat gluten networks relies on a combination of covalent and non-covalent interaction bonds, including hydrogen bonds that stabilize the protein networks, hydrophobic interactions governing protein chain associations during thermo-mechanical processes, and disulfide bonds that potentially contribute to fibrous structure formation. This review provides case studies and examples that demonstrate how specific processing conditions can improve the overall structure, aiming to serve as a valuable reference for further research and the advancement of fibrous structures.

Abstract
Soy (Glycine max) is used in a wide range of products and plays a major role in replacing animal-based products. Since the cultivation of soy is limited by cold climates, this review assessed the nutritional, sensory, and functional properties of three alternative cold-tolerant crops (faba bean (Vicia faba), yellow pea (Pisum sativum), and oat (Avena sativa)). Lower protein quality compared with soy and the presence of anti-nutrients are nutritional problems with all three crops, but different methods to adjust for these problems are available. Off-flavors in all pulses, including soy, and in cereals impair the sensory properties of the resulting food products, and few mitigation methods are successful. The functional properties of faba bean, pea, and oat are comparable to those of soy, which makes them usable for 3D printing, gelation, emulsification, and extrusion. Enzymatic treatment, fermentation, and fibrillation can be applied to improve the nutritional value, sensory attributes, and functional properties of all the three crops assessed, making them suitable for replacing soy in a broad range of products, although more research is needed on all attributes.

Abstract
In the context of a diet transition from animal protein to plant protein, both for sustainable and healthy scopes, innovative plant-based foods are being developing. A combination with milk proteins has been proposed as a strategy to overcome the scarce functional and sensorial properties of plant proteins. Based on this mixture were designed several colloidal systems such as suspensions, gels, emulsions, and foams which can be found in many food products. This review aims to give profound scientific insights on the challenges and opportunities of developing such binary systems which could soon open a new market category in the food industry. The recent trends in the formulation of each colloidal system, as well as their limits and advantages are here considered. Lastly, new approaches to improve the coexistence of both milk and plant proteins and how they affect the sensorial profile of food products are discussed.

Abstract
The world's requirement for plant protein consumption is increasing. However, their application in different foods is limited due to their low techno-functionality. Heating is the most widely used method to improve the functionality of proteins. Compared to indirect tubular or plate heating methods, direct steam injection heating (DSIH) can heat the sample much faster, thus modifying the structure and functionality of protein differently. It is used in the sterilization of milk to minimize the heat-induced denaturation of whey proteins and the loss of volatiles. By contrast, its application in producing plant protein ingredients is seldom. This review summarizes recent research using DSIH to process dairy- and plant-based proteins and proposes future research perspectives. DSIH is a promising technique for producing functional protein ingredients. It is of particular interest to overcome the techno-functional hurdles of plant protein blends using DSIH to improve their behavior in different food matrices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein-polysaccharide gels have significant and unique properties in food formulations. However, they are susceptible to environmental influences like heat and pH. The present work investigated the effects of acid and alkali treatments on the gel properties and microstructural changes of whey protein isolate (WPI) high acyl gellan gum (HG). RESULTS The results showed that the pH had a strong effect on the gel hardness, water-holding capacity (WHC), free sulfhydryl groups (-SH), and other properties of the composite gel. The hardness reached a maximum level of 282.50 g and the best WHC was 98.33% at pH 7, indicating that a suitable pH could promote this cross-linking between the WPI and HG molecules. The rheological analysis demonstrated that the pH affected the gel formation time. Meanwhile, the gel formation time reached a maximum at pH 7, and the gel's storage modulus G' value was the largest in the final state. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results showed that pH affected the interaction between WPI and HG. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis also indicated that the composite gel formed a three-dimensional network structure at pH 7-9. CONCLUSION These results could broaden the application of protein-polysaccharide gels in food and delivery systems. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, there is a growing interest in developing protein-fortified liquid systems, which are formulated to provide special nutrient combinations to those with special dietary needs. The fabrication of heat-stable protein for protein-fortified liquid systems relies heavily on precise control of the edible protein-building process. RESULTS Results suggested that heat-stable 7S protein particles (7SPPs) could be obtained by preheating at 100 °C for an extended time, whereas 7S proteins with better gelling properties were discovered after preheating at lower temperatures. According to the findings of the protein conformational and morphological characterization, the 7SPPs showed rather stable tertiary and secondary structures as well as size distributions, which might be responsible for their heat stability. Additionally, during the reheating test, suspensions of 7SPPs showed no signs of gelation and had a low viscosity even though the protein content was as high as 120 mg mL-1 . However, 7S proteins with improved gelling properties were found to show rising aggregate size, higher susceptibility and larger conformational structure changing rates upon reheating treatment. CONCLUSION Soy β-conglycinin (7S) proteins with tunable heat stability were successfully prepared by preheating 10 mg mL-1 protein dispersions at various temperatures (80-120 °C) and durations (15-120 min). These findings provide fundamental insights for developing 7S-based protein-fortified systems. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Four commercial pea protein isolates were analyzed for their physico-chemical properties including water absorption capacity (WAC), least gelation concentration (LGC), rapid visco analyzer (RVA) pasting, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)-based heat-induced denaturation and phase transition (PTA) flow temperature. The proteins were also extruded using pilot-scale twin-screw extrusion with relatively low process moisture to create texturized plant-based meat analog products. Wheat-gluten- and soy-protein-based formulations were similarly analyzed, with the intent to study difference between protein types (pea, wheat and soy). Proteins with a high WAC also had cold-swelling properties, high LGC, low PTA flow temperature and were most soluble in non-reducing SDS-PAGE. These proteins had the highest cross-linking potential, required the least specific mechanical energy during extrusion and led to a porous and less layered texturized internal structure. The formulation containing soy protein isolate and most pea proteins were in this category, although there were notable differences within the latter depending on the commercial source. On the other hand, soy-protein-concentrate- and wheat-gluten-based formulations had almost contrary functional properties and extrusion characteristics, with a dense, layered extrudate structure due to their heat-swelling and/or low cold-swelling characteristics. The textural properties (hardness, chewiness and springiness) of the hydrated ground product and patties also varied depending on protein functionality. With a plethora of plant protein options for texturization, understanding and relating the differences in raw material properties to the corresponding extruded product quality can help tailor formulations and accelerate the development and design of plant-based meat with the desired textural qualities.

Abstract
Dried porous materials based on plant proteins are attracting large attention thanks to their potential use as sustainable food ingredients. Nevertheless, plant proteins present lower gelling properties than animal ones. Plant protein gelling could be improved by optimising gelation conditions by acting on protein concentration, pH, and ionic strength. This work aimed to systematically study the effect of these factors on the gelation behaviour of soy and pea protein isolates. Protein suspensions having different concentrations (10, 15, and 20% w/w), pH (3.0, 4.5, 7.0), and ionic strength (IS, 0.0, 0.6, 1.5 M) were heat-treated (95 °C for 15 min) and characterised for rheological properties and physical stability. Strong hydrogels having an elastic modulus (G') higher than 103 Pa and able to retain more than 90% water were only obtained from suspensions containing at least 15% soy protein, far from the isoelectric point and at an IS above 0.6 M. By contrast, pea protein gelation was achieved only at a high concentration (20%), and always resulted in weak gels, which showed increasing G' with the increase in pH and IS. Results were rationalised into a map identifying the gelation conditions to modulate the rheological properties of soy and pea protein hydrogels, for their subsequent conversion into xerogels, cryogels, and aerogels.

Sensitive and selective detection of peanut allergen Ara h 1 by ELISA and lateral flow immunoassay. Food Chem 2022; 396:133657.

Abstract
The Ara h1 protein is a peanut allergen and it provides a useful biomarker for the detection of peanut protein. In this manuscript, we describe the generation of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the Ara h1 protein and their development into sensitive and selective immunoassays for peanut detection. Our enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (sELISA) detects a peanut meal standard with a sensitivity of 10 ng/mL and 500 ng/mL by lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA). MAb Ara h1 binding epitopes were identified, and immunoassay detection was limited to peanut meal varieties irrespective of thermal treatment. No binding was observed from tree nut meals (100-0.4 µg/mL). Peanut allergen detection during food manufacturing can limit the incidence of product recall resulting from cross-contact contamination or improper labeling of finished food products. Detection of Ara h1 by immunoassay can provide a cost-effective method for rapid surveillance of peanut during food production and prior to consumption.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of sweet potato starch (SPS) and konjac glucomannan (KGM) on the textural, color, sensory, rheological properties, and microstructures of plant-based pork rinds. Plant-based gels were prepared using mixtures of soy protein isolate (SPI), soy oil, and NaHCO3 supplemented with different SPS and KGM concentrations. The texture profile analysis (TPA) results indicated that the hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness of the samples improved significantly after appropriate SPS and KGM addition. The results obtained via a colorimeter showed no significant differences were found in lightness (L*) between the samples and natural pork rinds after adjusting the SPS and KGM concentrations. Furthermore, the rheological results showed that adding SPS and KGM increased both the storage modulus (G’) and loss modulus (G’’), indicating a firmer gel structure. The images obtained via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the SPS and KGM contributed to the formation of a more compact gel structure. A mathematical model allowed for a more objective sensory evaluation, with the 40% SPS samples and the 0.4% KGM samples being considered the most similar to natural pork rinds, which provided a comparable texture, appearance, and mouthfeel. This study proposed a possible schematic model for the gelling mechanism of plant-based pork rinds: the three-dimensional network structures of the samples may result from the interaction between SPS, SPI, and soybean oil, while the addition of KGM and NaHCO3 enabled a more stable gel structure.

Abstract
Pickering emulsions, which are stabilized by particles, have gained considerable attention recently because of their extreme stability and functionality. A food-grade particle is preferred by the food or pharmaceutical industries because of their noteworthy natural benefits (renewable resources, ease of preparation, excellent biocompatibility, and unique interfacial properties). Different edible particles are reported by recent publications with distinct shapes resulting from the inherent properties of raw materials and fabrication methods. Furthermore, they possess distinct interfacial properties and functionalities. Therefore, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in the stabilization of Pickering emulsions using diverse food-grade particles, as well as their possible applications in the food industry.

Abstract
Pulse proteins are being increasingly investigated as nutritious and functional ingredients which could provide alternatives to animal proteins; however, pulse protein ingredients do not always meet the functionality requirements necessary for various applications. Consequently, enzymatic hydrolysis can be employed as a means of improving functional properties such as solubility, emulsifying, foaming, and gelling properties. This review aims to examine the current literature regarding modification of these properties with enzymatic hydrolysis. The effects of enzymatic hydrolysis on the functionality of pulse proteins generally varies considerably based on the enzyme, substrate, processing steps such as heat treatment, degree of hydrolysis, and pH. Differences in protease specificity as well as protein structure allow for a wide variety of peptide mixtures to be generated, with varying hydrophobic and electrostatic properties. Typically, the most significant improvements are seen when the original protein ingredient has poor initial functionality. Solubility is usually improved in the mildly acidic range, which may also correspond with improved foaming and emulsifying properties. More work should be carried out on the potential of enzymatic hydrolysis to modify gelation properties of pulse proteins, as the literature is currently lacking. Overall, careful selection of proteases and control of hydrolysis will be necessary to maximize the potential of enzymatic hydrolysis as a tool to improve pulse protein functionality and broaden the range of potential applications.

Abstract
Considering that a series of complex issues such as environmental problems, sustainable development, animal welfare, and human health are on a global scale, the development of vegetable protein-based meat substitutes provides a potential solution to the disparity between meat consumption demand and supply. The research and development of vegetable protein-based meat substitutes have become a major commercial activity, and the market is expanding to meet the growing consumer demand. Soy protein isolates (SPI) are often used as a raw material for vegetable meat substitutes because of their potential to form fiber structures. Although significant initial success has been achieved, it is still a challenge to explain how the composition and aggregation of SPI influence gel properties and the mechanism(s) involved. This article reviews the latest research about SPI. The relationship between the composition, aggregation, and gelation properties of SPI is based on a through literature search. It focused on the application of SPI in heat- and cold-induced gels, given the diversified market demands. The research on cold gel has helped expand the market. The methods to improve the properties of SPI gels, including physical, chemical, and biological properties, are reviewed to provide insights on its role in the properties of SPI gels. To achieve environmentally friendly and efficient ways for the food industry to use SPI gel properties, the research prospects and development trends of the gel properties of SPI are summarized. New developments and practical applications in the production technology, such as for ultrasound, microwave and high pressure, are reviewed. The potential and challenges for practical applications of cold plasma technology for SPI gel properties are also discussed. There is a need to transfer the laboratory technology to actual food production efficiently and safely.

Abstract
The effects of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) on the gel properties and microstructure of glucono-δ-lactone-induced soy protein isolate (SPI) gels were investigated. The water-holding capacity, gel strength, and viscoelastic modulus of CNC-SPI gels were positively associated with CNC concentration from 0 to 0.75% (w/v). In contrast, MCC-SPI gels exhibited decreased water-holding capacity, gel strength, and viscoelastic modulus. All composite gels displayed high frequency dependence and the typical type I (strain thinning) network behavior. Changes in viscoelasticity under large strain were correlated with differences in the microstructure of SPI composite gels. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) showed that CNC were more evenly and steadily distributed in the protein matrix and formed a compact network structure. In contrast, MCC-SPI gels exhibited a discontinued and rough gel network with some large aggregates and pores, in which MCC was randomly entrapped. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and molecular forces results revealed that no new chemical bonds were formed in the gelation process and that the disulfide bond was of crucial importance in the gel system. With the addition of CNC, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and hydrogen bonds in the SPI gel network were significantly strengthened. However, the incorporation of MCC might obstruct the connection of the protein network. It is concluded that both cellulose type and concentration affect gelling properties.

Abstract
Use of protein-based nanovehicles has been well recognized to be one of the most effective strategies to improve water dispersibility, stability and bioavailability of nutraceuticals or bioactive ingredients. Thanks to their health-benefiting effects and unique assembly behavior, soy proteins seem to be the perfect food proteins for fabricating nanovehicles in this regard. This review presents the state-of-art knowledge about the assembly of soy proteins into nano-architectures, e. g., nanoparticles, nanocomplexes or nanogels, induced by different physicochemical strategies and approaches. The strategies to trigger the assembly of soy proteins into a variety of nano-architectures are highlighted and critically reviewed. Such strategies include heating, enzymatic hydrolysis, pH shift, urea or ethanol treatment, reduction, and static high pressure treatment. The self-assembly behavior of soy proteins (native or denatured) is also reviewed. Besides the assembly of proteins alone, soy proteins can co-assemble with polysaccharides to form versatile nano-architectures, through different processes, e.g., heating or ultrasonication. Finally, recent progress in the development of assembled soy protein nano-architectures as nanovehicles for hydrophobic nutraceuticals is briefly summarized. With the fast increasing health awareness for natural and safe functional foods, this review is of crucial relevance for providing an important strategy to develop a kind of novel soy protein-based functional foods with dual-function health effects from soy proteins and nutraceuticals.

Abstract
Food researchers are currently showing a growing interest in in vitro digestibility studies due to their importance for obtaining food products with health benefits and ensuring a balanced nutrient intake. Various bioactive food compounds are sensitive to the digestion process, which results in a lower bioavailability in the gut. The main objective of structured food delivery systems is to promote the controlled release of these compounds at the desired time/place, in addition to protecting them during digestion processes. This review provides an overview of the influence of structured delivery systems on the in vitro digestive behavior. The main delivery systems are summarized, the pros and cons of different structures are outlined, and examples of several studies that optimized the use of these structured systems are provided. In addition, we have reviewed the use of plant-based systems, which have been of interest to food researchers and the food industry because of their health benefits, improved sustainability as well as being an alternative for vegetarian, vegan and consumers suffering from food allergies. In this context, the review provides new insights and comprehensive knowledge regarding the influence of plant-based structured systems on the digestibility of encapsulated compounds and proteins/polysaccharides used in the encapsulation process.
