[PMID: 38219566 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138410] [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: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
Myoglobin (Mb) responsible for meat color is easily oxidized resulting in meat discoloration. Here, betanin red (BR), as a natural pigment and antioxidant, was chosen for enhancing redness and inhibiting oxidation. Multiple spectroscopies, isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular docking demonstrated that BR changed the microenvironment of heme group and amino acid residues of Mb, inhibited the oxidation of oxymyoglobin. The main interaction force was hydrogen bond and one variable binding site provided a continuous protective barrier to realize antioxidation. The combination of antioxidation with the inherent red color of BR offered dual color protection effect on processed beef with the addition amount of 0.2 % BR. BR treatment enhanced the redness by 25.59 ∼ 53.24 % and the sensory acceptance by 4.89 ∼ 14.24 %, and decreased the lipid oxidation by 0.58 ∼ 15.92 %. This study paves a theoretical basis for the application of BR and its structural analogues in meat color protection and other quality improvement.

Abstract
SCOPE Epidemiological studies have linked excessive red and processed meat intake to gut disorders. Under laboratory conditions, high heme content is considered the primary health risk factor for red meat. However, heme in meat is present in myoglobin, which is an indigestible protein, suggesting the different functions between myoglobin and heme. This study aims to explore how dietary myoglobin and heme affect gut health and microbiota differently. METHODS AND RESULTS Histological and biochemical assessments as well as 16S rRNA sequencing are performed. Moderate myoglobin intake (equivalent to the recommended intake of 150 g meat per day for human) has beneficial effects on the duodenal barrier. However, a too high myoglobin diet (equivalent to intake of 3000 g meat per day for human) triggers duodenum injury and alters the microbial community. The hemin diet destroys intestinal tissue and ileal microbiota more significantly. The in vitro experiments further confirm that free heme exhibits high toxicity to beneficial gut bacteria while myoglobin promotes the growth and metabolism of Limosilactobacillus reuteri. CONCLUSION Moderate intake of myoglobin or hemin is beneficial to intestinal health and microbiota, but too high amounts lead to tissue inflammation and injury in the small intestine by reshaping ileal microbiota.

Abstract
Beta-carotene (β-C) is a natural phytochemical with good functions, but the strong hydrophobicity and acid-base instability limit its absorption in the intestine. A well-designed heat-induced myofibrillar protein (MP) transport system can improve the bioavailability of β-C, and temperature might have a significant impact on this process. This study utilized multispectral, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the effect of temperature on the interaction between β-C and MP. The results showed that the major interaction between β-C and MP switched from Van der Waals force to hydrophobic interaction at near 37 °C. The changes in the spatial structures of proteins and the thermal motion of molecules may be the main reasons for the transformation of intermolecular interaction. These results indicated that selecting the appropriate temperature is of great significance for designing the transport system of β-C.

Abstract
This study investigated the interaction between myoglobin (Mb) and two lipid oxidation products, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and trans, trans-2,4-decadienal (tt-DDE), at pH 5.6 and 7.4 through the combination of multispectral and molecular dynamics simulations. In this study, tt-DDE was more prone to promote Mb oxidation than HNE by loosening the Mb structure, which is associated with more destroyed secondary and tertiary structures. Furthermore, the pro-oxidation of both lipid products was stronger at pH 5.6 than at pH 7.4. The molecular docking revealed that both tt-DDE and HNE were combined closely with the heme group of Mb. And tt-DDE had hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces with Mb, but HNE only had hydrophobic interactions. In conclusion, it was firstly found that tt-DDE was also shown to have high activity in promoting Mb oxidation as another important aldehyde from lipid oxidation products.

Abstract
As a novel plant protein, developing various aspects of pine kernel protein (PKP) functionality is essential to meet the demand for protein-rich foods. To achieve this, the PKP was functionalized by a combination of pH-shifting and ultrasound techniques. The solubility, emulsification and droplet stability of the PKP in the pH range suitable to food (pH 3 to 7) were further investigated. The pH 12-shifting was an effective strategy to increase the solubility of PKP under extreme acidic and neutral conditions, characterized by a higher content of β-sheets and random coils, a greater exposure of free sulfhydryl and hydrophobic groups. Furthermore, appropriate ultrasonic power (250 W) further improved the solubility of PKPs by disrupting intermolecular hydrogen and hydrophobic bonds. As the ambient acidity increased, the emulsions exhibited higher viscoelasticity and stronger protein interactions. Especially at pH 3, the oil droplets stabilized by U250-PKP-12 (PKP treated with 250 W ultrasound-assisted pH 12-shifting) were homogeneously dispersed and surrounded by dense protein, maintaining small particle size and large electrostatic repulsion, and there was no apparent creaming or phase separation in the emulsions after 10 days of storage. Thus, the functionality of PKP after pH-shifting combined with ultrasonic treatments is further enhanced by increasing the environmental acidity.

Abstract
The effects of different heating temperatures (40-115 °C) on the structure, oxidation, and digestibility of beef myofibrillar protein were investigated. Reductions in the number of sulfhydryl groups were observed, together with gradual increases in the number of carbonyl groups, indicating oxidation of the protein by the increased temperatures. At temperatures between 40 °C and 85 °C, β-sheets were converted to α-helices, and increased surface hydrophobicity showed that the protein expanded as the temperature approached 85 °C. These changes were reversed at temperatures over 85 °C, indicative of aggregation induced by thermal oxidation. Between 40 °C and 85 °C, the digestibility of the myofibrillar protein was increased, reaching a maximum of 59.5 % at 85 °C, after which it began to decrease. These results indicated that moderate heating and oxidation-induced protein expansion were beneficial to digestion while protein aggregation resulting from excessive heating is not conducive to digestion.

Abstract
In this study, a myofibrillar protein (MP) system was used to investigate the film properties changes by adjusting the intensity of the interaction of proteins with other food components. The structure and rheological properties of several film-forming solutions were then determined. Furthermore, the structure of these composite films was examined using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The smooth and uniform surface acquired by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) substantiated the increased compatibility and continuity observed for films with greater food component interaction. In addition, the MP-based edible films with stronger food component interactions (the MP-Myr/ANT/NCC group) displayed superior mechanical (tensile strength: 6.68 MPa, elongation at break: 94.43%), water vapor barrier (10.01 × 10-9 g m-1 s-1 Pa-1), and ammonia sensitivity (total color difference: 17.00) capabilities compared to those of the other groups (the MP/ANT/NCC, MP-Lut/ANT/NCC, and MP-Que/ANT/NCC groups).

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasound curing with various working modes and frequency combinations, including mono-, dual- and tri-frequency, on the content of NaCl and tenderness of pork loins (Longissimus dorsi). The physical qualities, myoglobin, moisture migration, distribution, and microstructure of pork were also evaluated. The results displayed that the NaCl content of samples cured by simultaneous ultrasound (100 W/L) working mode with a frequency combination of 20, 40, and 60 kHz was higher than that of other ultrasound working modes. The effect of ultrasonic brining was significantly better than the static curing when the saline solution was >35 mL. In addition, the samples cured by simultaneous ultrasound had better physical qualities, including more pickling absorptivity, less cooking loss, and lower hardness, tenderness, and chewiness value. The intensity of lightness was reduced, although redness and yellowness remained unaltered compared to static curing. The myoglobin content decreased drastically without changing the oxygenation level, and the relaxation time of T2b and T21 was delayed. The microstructure indicated that the ultrasonic treatment could promote changes in meat texture. Overall, the simultaneous ultrasound at various frequencies could efficiently accelerate NaCl penetration and improve pork quality.

[PMID: 35753513 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.06.128] [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: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Here, we report the characterization (purification, autoxidation rate, pseudoperoxidase activity) and amino acid sequence determination of S. scombrus (Atlantic mackerel) and S. colias (Tinker mackerel) mioglobins (Mbs), considering the increasing consumption of fresh and canned mackerel meat and Mb implication in meat storage (e.g.: browning and lipid oxidation). We found that Atlantic mackerel Mb has major autoxidation rate (0.204 ± 0.013 h-1) compared to Tinker mackerel Mb (0.140 ± 0.009 h-1), while the pseudoperoxidase activity is major for Tinker mackerel (Km: 87.71 ± 7.19 μM; kcat: 0.32 s-1) Mb with respect to Atlantic mackerel (Km: 96.08 ± 6.91 μM; kcat: 0.50 s-1). These functional differences are confirmed by primary structure determination, in which six amino acid substitutions are found, with the first N-terminal amino acid residue acetylated. Furthermore, we predicted by AphaFold 3D model both fish Mbs and used them to investigate the possible structural differences. In addition, phylogenetic analysis using Mb sequences from Scombridae family confirms that Atlantic and Tinker mackerels are two distinct species. Finally, an analytic qualitative RP-HPLC method to distinguish S. scombrus and S. colias specimens was developed considering the different retention times of the two mackerel apoMbs.

A review on the immobilization of pepsin: A Lys-poor enzyme that is unstable at alkaline pH values. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 210:682-702. [PMID: 35508226 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.04.224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Pepsin is a protease used in many different applications, and in many instances, it is utilized in an immobilized form to prevent contamination of the reaction product. This enzyme has two peculiarities that make its immobilization complex. The first one is related to the poor presence of primary amino groups on its surface (just one Lys and the terminal amino group). The second one is its poor stability at alkaline pH values. Both features make the immobilization of this enzyme to be considered a complicated goal, as most of the immobilization protocols utilize primary amino groups for immobilization. This review presents some of the attempts to get immobilized pepsin biocatalyst and their applications. The high density of anionic groups (Asp and Glu) make the anion exchange of the enzyme simpler, but this makes many of the strategies utilized to immobilize the enzyme (e.g., amino-glutaraldehyde supports) more related to a mixed ion exchange/hydrophobic adsorption than to real covalent immobilization. Finally, we propose some possibilities that can permit not only the covalent immobilization of this enzyme, but also their stabilization via multipoint covalent attachment.
