High pressure-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis potentiates the production of quinoa protein hydrolysates with antioxidant and ACE-inhibitory activities. Food Chem 2024; 447:138887. [PMID: 38492299 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138887] [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: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
The impact of different pressure levels in the HHP-assisted hydrolysis by Alcalase of quinoa proteins on the catalytic efficiency, peptide release, phenolic compounds content, and biological activities was investigated. The protein profile (SDS-PAGE) showed a more extensive peptide breakdown for the HHP-assisted proteolysis at 300-400 MPa, which was confirmed by the higher extent of hydrolysis and peptide concentration. Quinoa protein hydrolysates (QPH) produced at 200 and 300 MPa exhibited higher total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities (methanol-acetone and aqueous extracts) when compared to the non-hydrolyzed (QPI) and non-pressurized hydrolyzed samples. Kaempferol dirhamnosyl-galactopyranoside was the prevalent phenolic compound in those samples, increasing total flavonoids by 1.8-fold over QPI. The QPH produced at 300 MPa inhibited ACE more effectively, exhibiting the greatest anti-hypertensive potential, along with the presence of several ACE-inhibitory peptides. The peptide sequences GSHWPFGGK, FSIAWPR, and PWLNFK presented the highest Peptide Ranker scores and were predicted to have ACE inhibitory, DPP-IV inhibitory, and antioxidant activities. Mild pressure levels were effective in producing QPH with enhanced functionality due to the effects of bioactive soluble phenolics and low molecular weight peptides.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2024; 23:e13262. [PMID: 38284577 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13262] [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: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
The growing emphasis on dietary health has facilitated the development of plant-based foods. Plant proteins have excellent functional attributes and health-enhancing effects and are also environmentally conscientious and animal-friendly protein sources on a global scale. The addition of plant proteins (including soy protein, pea protein, zein, nut protein, and gluten protein) to diverse cheese varieties and cheese analogs holds the promise of manufacturing symbiotic products that not only have reduced fat content but also exhibit improved protein diversity and overall quality. In this review, we summarized the utilization and importance of various plant proteins in the production of hybrid cheeses and cheese analogs. Meanwhile, classification and processing methods related to these cheese products were reviewed. Furthermore, the impact of different plant proteins on the microstructure, textural properties, physicochemical attributes, rheological behavior, functional aspects, microbiological aspects, and sensory characteristics of both hybrid cheeses and cheese analogs were discussed and compared. Our study explores the potential for the development of cheeses made from full/semi-plant protein ingredients with greater sustainability and health benefits. Additionally, it further emphasizes the substantial chances for scholars and developers to investigate the optimal processing methods and applications of plant proteins in cheeses, thereby improving the market penetration of plant protein hybrid cheeses and cheese analogs.

Impact of In Vitro Digestion on the Digestibility, Amino Acid Release, and Antioxidant Activity of Amaranth ( Amaranthus cruentus L.) and Cañihua ( Chenopodium pallidicaule Aellen) Proteins in Caco-2 and HepG2 Cells. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:2075.

Abstract
This study evaluated the impact of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on the digestibility, amino acid release, and antioxidant activity of proteins from amaranth (Amarantus cruentus L.) and cañihua (Chenopodium pallidicaule Aellen). Antioxidant activity was assessed using ORAC, ABTS, DPPH, and cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) assays in human intestinal Caco-2 and hepatic Hep-G2 cell lines. The results showed that amaranth had higher protein digestibility (79.19%) than cañihua (71.22%). In addition, intestinal digestion promoted the release of essential amino acids, such as leucine, lysine, and phenylalanine, in both protein concentrates. Concentrations of amaranth and cañihua proteins, ranging from 0.125 to 1.0 mg mL-1, were non-cytotoxic in both cell lines. At a concentration of 0.750 mg mL-1, simulated gastrointestinal digestion enhanced cellular antioxidant activity. Intestinal digest fractions containing peptides >5 kDa were the principal contributors to CAA in both cell lines. Notably, cañihua proteins exhibited high CAA, reaching values of 85.55% and 82.57% in Caco-2 and HepG2 cells, respectively, compared to amaranth proteins, which reached 84.68% in Caco-2 and 81.06% in HepG2 cells. In conclusion, both amaranth and cañihua proteins, after simulated gastrointestinal digestion, showcased high digestibility and released peptides and amino acids with potent antioxidant properties, underscoring their potential health benefits.

Effect of conventional and microwave heating treatment on antioxidant activity of quinoa protein after simulated gastrointestinal digestion. Food Chem 2023; 415:135763. [PMID: 36870208 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.135763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023]
Abstract
Effects of microwave and traditional water bath treatment at different temperatures (70, 80, 90 ℃) on in vitro digestion rate and antioxidant activity of digestion products of quinoa protein were investigated. The results indicated microwave treatment at 70 ℃ produced the highest quinoa protein digestion rate and the strongest antioxidant activities of its digestion products (P < 0.05), which was further verified by the results of free amino, sulfhydryl group, gel electrophoresis, amino acid profiles and the molecular weight distribution of the digestion products. However, limited exposure of active groups induced by water bath treatment might decrease the susceptibility of digestive enzymes and subsequently lower the digestibility and antioxidant activities of quinoa protein. The results suggested that a moderate microwave treatment could be used as a potential way to enhance the in vitro digestion rate of quinoa protein, as well as increase the antioxidant activities of its digestion products.

Abstract
Quinoa seeds are a food resource rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and other functional components such as polyphenols, polysaccharides, and saponins. The seeds have become favored by modern consumers due to being gluten-free and featuring a high protein content. This study focused on the preparation of quinoa peptides by short-time enzymatic-assisted fermentation. Quinoa flour (QF) was mixed with water in a certain ratio before being enzymatically digested with 0.5% amylase and 0.1% lipase for 6 h. Then, 16 bacterial taxa were used for fermentation, respectively. The peptide content in the resulting fermentation broths were determined by the biuret method. The dominant taxon was then identified and the peptide content, amino acid distribution, and molecular weight distribution of the prepared quinoa peptides were analyzed. Further, the temperature, pH, metal ions, organic solvents, ion concentration, and anti-enzyme stability of the quinoa anti-hypertensive peptides of different molecular weights after fermentation with the dominant taxon were investigated. Finally, the inhibitory activity of fermented quinoa peptides on bacteria was studied. The results show that the peptide content of the fermentation broth reached 58.72 ± 1.3% at 40 h of fermentation with Lactobacillus paracasei and the molecular weights of the hydrolyzed quinoa peptides were mainly distributed below 2 kDa by polyacrylamide gel. The Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibition and peptide retention of the 0-3 kDa quinoa peptides were screened to be high and stable. At the same time, the inhibitory activity of quinoa peptide after fermentation on E. coli was obvious. This study provides a theoretical basis for further research on quinoa peptide and its application in industrial production, and also lays a foundation for the later application of polypeptides in new food and chemical products.
