Abstract
Protein is one of the most important components of food which significantly contributes to the structure, functionality, and sensory properties which may affect consumer acceptability of processed products. Conventional thermal processing affects protein structure and induce undesirable degradation of food quality. This review provides an overview of emerging pretreatment and drying technologies (plasma treatment, ultrasound treatment, electrohydrodynamic, radio frequency, microwave, and superheated steam drying) in food processing by assessing protein structural changes to enhance functional and nutritional properties. In addition, mechanisms and principles of these modern technologies are described while challenges and opportunities for the development of these techniques in the drying process are also critically analyzed. Plasma discharges can lead to oxidative reactions and cross-linking of proteins that can change the structure of proteins. Microwave heating contributes to the occurrence of isopeptide or disulfide bonds which promotes α-helix and β-turn formation. These emerging technologies can be adopted to improve protein surface by exposing more hydrophobic groups which restrict water interaction. It is expected that these innovative processing technologies should become a preferred choice in the food industry for better food quality. Moreover, there are some limitations for industrial scale application of these emerging technologies that need to be addressed.

Cheng JH, Li J, Sun DW. In vivo biological analysis of cold plasma on allergenicity reduction of tropomyosin in shrimp. Food Chem 2024; 432:137210. [PMID: 37659333 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137210] [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: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
In vivo biological regulations of the allergenicity of tropomyosin (TM) treated by cold plasma (CP) were investigated by in vivo mouse model. The sensitization models of Balb/c mice were successfully established. CP treatment reduced the allergic symptoms of mice and regulated the Th1/Th2 balance to prevent allergy by activating Treg cells, which was deduced by serum and cytokines analysis. For intestinal flora analysis, allergy occurrence was accompanied by the decreased species abundance and the increased species diversity of intestinal flora. The significant species composition difference between the TM group and the PBS group showed a possible connection between bacterial diversity and allergy. Furthermore, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Parabacteroides, Alloprevotella, Bacteroides, and Lachnospiraceae could relate to allergy occurrence. Intestinal section analysis suggested that allergy occurrence was accompanied by the damaged intestinal structure, and CP treatment could relieve the damage caused by an allergy.

Abstract
Blueberry is a class of berries with high nutritional and economic value but has short shelf life due to its rapid softening at room temperature. This study investigated the effects of plasma-activated water (PAW) treatment on the softening quality and cell wall pectin metabolism of blueberries stored for 10 d at 25 °C after being immersed in PAW for 10 min. PAW was generated by plasma with different times (1 and 2 min), fixed frequency (10 kHz) and fixed voltage (50 kV). The analysis showed that the firmness of PAW-treated fruit significantly increased (P < 0.05) by 36.4% after 10 d storage. PAW treatment controlled the solubilization of pectin from water-insoluble to water-soluble. The activities of cell wall pectin-degrading enzymes like polygalacturonase (PG), β-galactosidase (β-Gal) and pectin methylesterase (PME) in PAW-treated blueberries decreased by 15.7%, 18.3%, and 27.9%, respectively, on day 10. After PAW treatment, blueberries also maintained better postharvest quality (firmness, colour, soluble solid content and anthocyanin content) and intact epidermal waxy and cell wall structure. These results suggested that PAW showed great potential for postharvest fresh-keeping of blueberry.

A Novel Strategy for Accelerating Pumpable Ice Slurry Production with Ozone Micro-Nano Bubbles and Extending the Shelf Life of Larimichthys polyactis. Foods 2023; 12:foods12112206.

Abstract
In this study, a novel strategy for accelerating the production of pumpable ice slurry (PIS) by using ozone micro-nano bubbles (O3-MNBs) was proposed. The effect of PIS containing sodium alginate (SA) and O3-MNBs on the preservation of small yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) was investigated. The results indicate that using SA solution containing O3-MNBs instead of only SA solution resulted in quicker production of PIS by promoting ice nucleation and eliminating supercooling. The distribution and positive effect of O3-MNBs as a nucleation agent on freezing characteristics were discussed. Microbial concentrations, pH, total volatile basic nitrogen, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance content were also examined. Storage in novel PIS (containing O3-MNBs) had higher performance than storage in flake ice or conventional PIS due to the strong bacteriostatic ability of O3. Therefore, O3-MNBs injection can be used as a novel method for PIS production and the preservation of fresh marine products.

Abstract
The effects of pretreatments using plasma functionalized water (PW), osmodehydration (OD), and combined plasma functionalized water and osmodehydration (PO) on the drying characteristics, physicochemical and bioactive components of tomato slices during hot air drying at an air temperature of 55 °C and velocity of 1.5 m/s were evaluated. Results revealed that PW pretreatment led to an increase in lycopene compared to fresh samples, and shortened drying time, improved ascorbic acids, TPC, TFC, acidity, rehydration, porosity and hue, but reduced TSS, compared to dried control samples, while OD resulted in lycopene degradation during pretreatment, and prolonged drying time, increased TSS, but lowered acidity, rehydration, porosity and hue, compared to dried control samples. On the other hand, PO was found to overcome the shortcomings of OD with enhancement in the lycopene during pretreatment, and showed accelerated moisture transfer, improved bioactive, acidity, porosity, rehydration, hue and texture, but decreased TSS, when compared to dried control samples. Overall, the results showed the promising potential of PW and PO pretreatments for enhancing drying efficiency and product quality for the food industry.

Abstract
Plasma-activated liquids (PALs) are emerging and promising alternatives to traditional decontamination technologies and have evolved as a new technology for applications in food, agriculture, and medicine. Contamination caused by foodborne pathogens and their biofilms has posed challenges and concerns to the food industry in terms of safety and quality. The nature of the food and the food processing environment are major factors that contribute to the growth of various microorganisms, followed by the biofilm characteristics that ensure their survival in severe environmental conditions and against traditional chemical disinfectants. PALs show an efficient impact against microorganisms and their biofilms, with various reactive species (short- and long-lived ones), physiochemical properties, and plasma processing factors playing a crucial role in mitigating biofilms. Moreover, there is potential to improve and optimize disinfection strategies using a combination of PALs with other technologies for the inactivation of biofilms. The overarching aim of this study is to build a better understanding of the parameters that govern the liquid chemistry generated in a liquid exposed to plasma and how these translate into biological effects on biofilms. This review provides a current understanding of PALs-mediated mechanisms of action on biofilms; however, the precise inactivation mechanism is still not clear and is an important part of the research. Implementation of PALs in the food industry could help overcome the disinfection hurdles and can enhance biofilm inactivation efficacy. Future perspectives in this field to expand existing state of the art to seek breakthroughs for scale-up and implementation of PALs technology in the food industry are also discussed.

Abstract
Millets are small-seeded crops which have been well adopted globally owing to their high concentration of macro and micronutrients such as protein, dietary fibre, essential fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. Considering their climate resilience and potential role in nutritional and health security, the year 2023 has been declared as 'International Year of Millets' by the United Nations. Cereals being the major nutrient vehicle for a majority population, and proteins being the second most abundant nutrient in millets, these grains can be a suitable alternative for plant-based proteins. Therefore, this review was written with an aim to succinctly provide an overview of the available literature take on the characterization, processing and applications of millet-based proteins. This information would play an important role in realizing the research gap restricting the utilization of complete potential of millet proteins. This can be further used by researchers and food industries for understanding the scope of millet proteins as an ingredient for novel food product development.

Abstract
The toxic reactive oxygen species (toxROS) is the reactive oxygen species (ROS) beyond the normal concentration of cells, which has inactivation and disinfection effects on foodborne bacteria. However, foodborne bacteria can adapt and survive by physicochemical regulation of antioxidant systems, especially through central carbon metabolism (CCM), which is a significant concern for food safety. It is thus necessary to study the antioxidant regulation mechanisms of CCM in foodborne bacteria under toxROS stresses. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to provide an update and comprehensive overview of the reconfiguration of CCM fluxes in foodborne bacteria that respond to different toxROS stresses. In this review, two key types of toxROS including exogenous toxROS (exo-toxROS) and endogenous toxROS (endo-toxROS) are introduced. Exo-toxROS are produced by disinfectants, such as H2O2 and HOCl, or during food non-thermal processing such as ultraviolet (UV/UVA), cold plasma (CP), ozone (O3), electrolyzed water (EW), pulsed electric field (PEF), pulsed light (PL), and electron beam (EB) processing. Endo-toxROS are generated by bioreagents such as antibiotics (aminoglycosides, quinolones, and β-lactams). Three main pathways for CCM in foodborne bacteria under the toxROS stress are also highlighted, which are glycolysis (EMP), pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), and tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). In addition, energy metabolisms throughout these pathways are discussed. Finally, challenges and future work in this area are suggested. It is hoped that this review should be beneficial in providing insights for future research on bacterial antioxidant CCM defence under both exo-toxROS stresses and endo-toxROS stresses.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Previous studies have shown the great potential of using plasma-activated water (PAW) on improving agriculture seed germination, however, information on the influence of PAW on crop plantlet juice remains scanty. In this research, the effect of PAW generated by atmosphere pressure Ar-O2 plasma jet for 1-5 min on wheat seed germination, seedling growth and nutritional properties of wheat plantlet juice was investigated. Results revealed that all PAWs could enhance wheat seed germination and seedling growth in 7 days by improving the germination rate, germination index, fresh weight, dry weight and vigour index, and especially that PAW activated for 3 min (PAW-3) showed the best overall performance. In addition, the application of PAWs enhanced the nutritional properties of wheat plantlet juice from those grown for 14 days by improving total soluble solids, protein content, photosynthetic pigments, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, enzyme activity, free amino acids and minerals content, and the best enhancement was also observed in PAW-3. It was concluded that PAWs would be an effective technique to enhance the growth and nutritional properties of crop sprouts, which could be served as functional foods in many forms.

Abstract
Linear (first-order) and non-linear (Weibull, biphasic, and log-logistic) models were evaluated for predicting the inactivation kinetics of Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes on grass carp treated by a novel technique (UPFB) combining ultrasound (US) with plasma functionalized buffer (PFB). Results showed that UPFB was more effective for inactivating bacteria when compared with individual applications of US or PFB with reductions of 3.92 and 3.70 log CFU/g for Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes, respectively. Compared with the linear model, the three non-linear models presented comparable performances and were more suitable for describing the inactivation kinetics with superior adj-R2 (0.962-0.999), accuracies (0.970-1.006) and bias factors (0.995-1.031), and by assessing the strengths of evidence, weights of evidence and evidence ratios for the models, the biphasic model was identified as the best fit model. The current study provided new insights into the effective evaluation of decontamination methods.

Functional and bioactive properties of Larimichthys polyactis protein hydrolysates as influenced by plasma functionalized water-ultrasound hybrid treatments and enzyme types. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2022; 86:106023. [PMID: 35561594 PMCID: PMC9112016 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.106023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2022] [Revised: 04/26/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
The effects of plasma functionalized water (PFW) and its combination with ultrasound (UPFW) on the functional and bioactive properties of small yellow croaker protein hydrolysates (SYPHs) produced from three enzymes were investigated. Fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopy indicated that SYPHs tended to unfold with increasing intensity and shift in wavelengths to more flexible conformations under PFW and UPFW treatments. Particle size distribution and microstructure analysis revealed that treatments could disrupt aggregation of protein molecules to increase the roughness, specific surface area, and decrease the particle size of peptides during hydrolysis. The partially denatured structure of SYPHs induced by treatments increased the susceptibility of the fish proteins to exogenous enzymes, thereby accelerating the hydrolytic process to yield peptides with improved solubility, decreased emulsifying and foaming properties, and improved enzyme-specific antioxidant properties. The results revealed that the functionality of SYPHs was influenced by the treatment method and the enzyme type employed.
