Effect of chickpea protein modified with combined heating and high-pressure homogenization on enhancing the gelation of reduced phosphate myofibrillar protein. Food Chem 2024; 463:141180. [PMID: 39276541 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.141180] [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: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 09/05/2024] [Indexed: 09/17/2024]
Abstract
The effects of chickpea protein (CP) modified by heating and/or high-pressure homogenization (HPH) on the gelling properties of myofibrillar protein under reduced phosphate conditions (5 mM sodium triphosphate, STPP) were investigated. The results showed that heating and HPH dual-modified CP could decrease the cooking loss by 29.57 %, elevate the water holding capacity by 17.08 %, and increase the gel strength by 126.88 %, which conferred myofibrillar protein with gelation performance comparable with, or even surpassing, that of the high-phosphate (10 mM STPP) control. This gelation behavior improvement could be attributed to enhanced myosin tail-tail interactions, decreased myosin thermal stability, elevated trans-gauche-trans disulfide conformation, strengthened hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding, the uncoiling of α-helical structures, the formation of well-networked myofibrillar protein gel, and the disulfide linkages between the myosin heavy chain, actin, and CP subunits. Therefore, the dual-modified CP could be a promising phosphate alternative to develop healthier meat products.

Extraction, Modification, Biofunctionality, and Food Applications of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) Protein: An Up-to-Date Review. Foods 2024; 13:1398. [PMID: 38731769 PMCID: PMC11083271 DOI: 10.3390/foods13091398] [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: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Plant-based proteins have gained popularity in the food industry as a good protein source. Among these, chickpea protein has gained significant attention in recent times due to its high yields, high nutritional content, and health benefits. With an abundance of essential amino acids, particularly lysine, and a highly digestible indispensable amino acid score of 76 (DIAAS), chickpea protein is considered a substitute for animal proteins. However, the application of chickpea protein in food products is limited due to its poor functional properties, such as solubility, water-holding capacity, and emulsifying and gelling properties. To overcome these limitations, various modification methods, including physical, biological, chemical, and a combination of these, have been applied to enhance the functional properties of chickpea protein and expand its applications in healthy food products. Therefore, this review aims to comprehensively examine recent advances in Cicer arietinum (chickpea) protein extraction techniques, characterizing its properties, exploring post-modification strategies, and assessing its diverse applications in the food industry. Moreover, we reviewed the nutritional benefits and sustainability implications, along with addressing regulatory considerations. This review intends to provide insights into maximizing the potential of Cicer arietinum protein in diverse applications while ensuring sustainability and compliance with regulations.

Augmenting Functional and Sensorial Quality Attributes of Kefir through Fortification with Encapsulated Blackberry Juice. Foods 2023; 12:4163. [PMID: 38002220 PMCID: PMC10670563 DOI: 10.3390/foods12224163] [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: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Kefir is a fermented dairy product claimed to confer many health-promoting effects, but its acidic taste is not appealing to some consumers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to enhance the functional and sensorial quality attributes of kefir through fortification with encapsulated blackberry juice (EBJ). The blackberry juice was successfully encapsulated via freeze-drying using lentil protein isolate (LPI) as the carrier. The encapsulated blackberry juice showed good physicochemical, functional, and morphological properties, as well as microbiological safety for use as a food additive. The kefir was fortified with EBJ in concentrations of 1, 2.5, 5, and 7.5% (w/w), stored for up to 28 days under refrigeration, and periodically evaluated. Parameters such as the viscosity, titrable acidity, and pH indicate that the kefir fortification did not affect its stability during storage. EBJ significantly increased the antioxidant properties of the kefir, depending on the fortification level. Additionally, all the fortified samples provided more anthocyanins than the daily recommended intake. Microbiological profiling demonstrated that good laboratory practice and hygiene were implemented during the experiments. Finally, the panelists showed that higher EBJ concentrations in the kefir resulted in greater overall acceptability, indicating that this encapsulate has the potential to be a substitute synthetic color additive in the dairy industry.

[PMID: 37630413 PMCID: PMC10460040 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28166161] [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: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Irradiation can be used for the preservation of chickpea protein as it can destroy microorganisms, bacteria, virus, or insects that might be present. However, irradiation may provoke oxidative stress, and therefore modify the functionality and nutritional value of chickpea protein. In order to study the effects of irradiation on the physicochemical properties and digestion behaviour of chickpea protein, chickpea protein concentrate (CPC) was treated with electron beam irradiation (EBI) at doses of 5, 10, 15, and 20 kGy. After irradiation, protein solubility first increased at 10 kGy and 15 kGy, and then decreased at the higher dose of 20 kGy. This was supported by SDS-PAGE, where the intensity of major protein bands first increased and then decreased. Increased doses of EBI generally led to greater oxidative modification of proteins in CPC, indicated by reduced sulfhydryls and increased carbonyls. In addition, the protein structure was modified by EBI as shown by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, where α-helix generally decreased, and β-sheet increased. Although the protein digestibility was not significantly affected by EBI, the peptidomic analysis of the digests revealed significant differences among CPC irradiated with varying doses. A total of 337 peptides were identified from CPC irradiated with 0 kGy, 10 kGy, and 20 kGy, with 18 overlapping peptides and 60, 29, and 40 peptides specific to the groups of 0, 10, and 20 kGy respectively. Theoretical calculation showed that the distribution of peptide length, hydrophobicity, net charge, and C-terminal residues were affected by irradiation. The 2, 2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity showed a marginal decrease with an increasing dose of irradiation. In conclusion, EBI led to oxidative modification and structural changes in chickpea protein, which subsequently affected the physicochemical properties of peptides obtained from in-vitro digestion of CPC, despite similar digestibility.

Abstract
In order to expand the utilization of chickpeas in various food products, this study investigated the effects of different homogenization pressures (0-150 MPa) and cycles (1-3) on the physicochemical, and functional properties of chickpea protein. After high-pressure homogenization (HPH) treatment, hydrophobic groups and sulfhydryl groups of chickpea protein was exposed which increased its surface hydrophobicity and decreased its total sulfhydryl content. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the molecular weight of modified chickpea protein remained unchanged. The particle size and turbidity of chickpea protein significantly decreased with an increase in homogenization pressure and cycles. Furthermore, the solubility, foaming, and emulsifying properties of chickpea protein were all enhanced by HPH treatment. In addition, the emulsions prepared by modified chickpea protein showed better stability capacity due to its smaller particle size and higher zeta potential. Therefore, HPH might be an effective technique to improve the functional properties of chickpea protein.

Abstract
As the plant-based food market grows, demand for plant protein is also increasing. Proteins are a major component in foods and are key to developing desired structures and textures. Seed storage proteins are the main plant proteins in the human diet. They are abundant in, for example, legumes or defatted oilseeds, which makes them an excellent candidate to use in the development of novel plant-based foods. However, they often have low and inflexible functionalities, as in nature they are designed to remain densely packed and inert within cell walls until they are needed during germination. Enzymes are often used by the food industry, for example, in the production of cheese or beer, to modify ingredient properties. Although they currently have limited applications in plant proteins, interest in the area is exponentially increasing. The present review first considers the current state and potential of enzyme utilization related to plant proteins, including uses in protein extraction and post-extraction modifications. Then, relevant opportunities and challenges are critically discussed. The main challenges relate to the knowledge gap, the high cost of enzymes, and the complexity of plant proteins as substrates. The overall aim of this review is to increase awareness, highlight challenges, and explore ways to address them.

Effects of combined chickpea protein isolate and chitosan on the improvement of technological quality in phosphate-free pork meat emulsions: Its relation to modifications on protein thermal and structural properties.

Abstract
The effects of combined chickpea protein isolate (CPI, 1%, w/w) and chitosan (CHI, 1%, w/w) on the technological, thermal, and structural properties of phosphate-free pork meat emulsions (PPMEs) were investigated. The results showed that CPI + CHI significantly improved the emulsion stability (P < 0.05), synergistically elevated the hardness and chewiness, and did not negatively impact the color attributes, which endowed the PPMEs with similar or even better technological performances compared to the high-phosphate control. These alterations were related to the reduced myosin enthalpy values, the rearrangement of free water into immobilized water, the synergistic reduction in α-helical structure and increase in β-sheet structure, the increased trans-gauche-trans SS conformation intensity of the Raman bands, and the formation of interactive protein gel networks where small-sized fat particles were evenly dispersed in the protein matrix. Therefore, combined CPI and CHI shows promise as a phosphate replacer for meat products.
