[PMID: 39002357 DOI: 10.1016/j.meatsci.2024.109594] [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: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
Niuganba (NGB) is a traditional fermented beef product. Protease activity typically significantly affects the quality of NGB. Some natural food extracts may markedly influence NGB's protease activity and performance. This study aims to investigate the effect of Zanthoxylum bungeanum extract (ZBE) on the quality and cathepsin L activity of NGB. Following ZBE treatment, the myofibril fragmentation index (MFI), the content of TCA-soluble peptides, surface hydrophobicity, disulfide bond content, and cathepsin L activity of NGB significantly decrease. The content of free thiol groups and β-sheet significantly increases. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals that the arrangement of muscle fibers in the cross-section of NGB is more compact after ZBE treatment. The research results indicate that ZBE effectively inhibits cathepsin L activity, alleviates the degradation of myofibrillar proteins, improves the physicochemical characteristics of NGB, and enhances its structural stability.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 276:133780. [PMID: 38992525 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133780] [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: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
The properties and structure of gluten protein with different deacetylation degrees of konjac glucomannan (KGM) were investigated, in an attempt to improve the quality of gluten protein in flour products. Results showed that deacetylated KGM (DKGM) could improve the textural properties and enhance the thermal stability of gluten protein. DKGM increased the water holding capacity and shortened the T2 relaxation time of gluten after removing some acetyl groups. As the deacetylation degree increased, the hardness and adhesiveness of gluten gels gradually increased, while the springiness decreased. In addition, the presence of DKGM promoted the conversion from free sulfhydryl to disulfide bonds and increased the β-sheet content in gluten protein. The low-deacetylation KGM decreased the surface hydrophobicity and fluorescence intensity of gluten protein, and the microstructures of gluten gels became more compact. Compared with gluten protein-KGM complex gel, the degradation temperature of gluten protein-DKGM complex gels was observed to increase by >3 °C. Overall, the low-deacetylation KGM was beneficial for improving the physicochemical properties and maintaining the network structure of gluten protein. This study provides valuable references and practical insights to improve gluten quality in the flour industry.

Comparison of nutritional profile between plant-based meat analogues and real meat: A review focusing on ingredients, nutrient contents, bioavailability, and health impacts. Food Res Int 2024; 187:114460. [PMID: 38763688 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114460] [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: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
In order to fully understand the nutritional heterogeneity of plant-based meat analogues and real meat, this review summarized their similarities and differences in terms of ingredients, nutrient contents, bioavailability and health impacts. Plant-based meat analogues have some similarities to real meat. However, plant-based meat analogues are lower in protein, cholesterol and VB12 but higher in dietary fiber, carbohydrates, sugar, salt and various food additives than real meat. Moreover, some nutrients in plant-based meat analogues, such as protein and iron, are less bioavailable. There is insufficient evidence that plant-based meat analogues are healthier, which may be related to the specific attributes of these products such as formulation and degree of processing. As things stand, it is necessary to provide comprehensive nutrition information on plant-based meat products so that consumers can make informed choices based on their nutritional needs.

Abstract
The demand for crayfish surimi products has grown recently due to its high protein content. This study examined the effects of varying κ-carrageenan (CAR) and crayfish surimi (CSM) concentrations on the gelling properties of CAR-CSM composite gel and its intrinsic formation process. Our findings demonstrated that with the increasing concentration of carrageenan, the quality of CAR-CSM exhibited rising trend followed by subsequently fall. Based on the textural qualities, the highest quality CAR-CSM was achieved at 0.3% carrageenan addition. With the exception of chewiness, and the cooking loss of the gel system was 1.62%, whiteness was 82.35%, and the percentage of β-sheets increased to 57.18%. Further increase in CAR (0.4-0.5%) addition resulted in internal build-up of LCAR-CSM, conversion of intermolecular forces into disulfide bonds and gel breakage. This study exudes timely recommendations for extending the CAR application for the continuous development of crayfish surimi and its derivatives and its overall economic worth.

Abstract
This study explored the effect of adding transglutaminase (TGase) to a co-gel of Tenebrio Molitor larvae protein (TMLP) and myofibrillar protein (MP). Different concentrations of TGase (0-90 U/g) were added to the co-gel. The results showed that 60 U/g TGase treatment significantly improved the gel strength and water holding capacity (WHC) by 26.51 g and 9.2 %, respectively. TGase promoted the rheological properties and accelerated the three-dimensional network structure of the co-gel. Moreover, TGase significantly increased (P < 0.05) the tyrosine residues, tryptophan residues content and hydrophobic interactions of the aliphatic groups. The chemical forces between the protein molecules changed. TGase promoted the transition of α-helix to β-sheet and free water to immobilized water, thereby improving the WHC of co-gel. The principal component analysis reflected the links among indicators. This study illustrated that TGase might be an effective strategy to improve the co-gel of TMLP and MP and emulsified meat products with insects.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of starch with varying degree of debranching on the rheological, thermal, and structural properties of heat-induced gluten gel. As the duration of starch debranching treatment increased from 0 to 8 h, the viscoelasticity of the gel containing debranched starch (DBS) improved. Compared with the gluten gel (G), the gel strength of the G + DBS (8 h) sample increased by 65.2 %. The degradation temperature of gluten was minimally affected by DBS, while the weight loss rate increased by 4.4 %. Furthermore, the α-helical structure of gluten decreased, concomitant with an increase in β-sheet content. Notably, DBS treated for 8 h exhibited more hydrogen bonds with the tyrosine of gluten and triggered disulfide bridge conformation to transition from g-g-g to t-g-g, thereby reducing the stability of the molecular conformation of gluten proteins, as evidenced by the decreased height and width of the molecular chains observed in atomic force microscopy images. Overall, the composite gel structure induced by DBS exhibited a more continuous and homogeneous owing to the improved compatibility between DBS and gluten proteins, favoring the formation of a robust gel. These findings provide valuable insights for utilizing DBS to enhance gluten gel properties.

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
The choice of appropriate proteases and pretreatment methods significantly influences the preparation of bioactive peptides. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different pretreatment methods on the hydrolytic performance of diverse proteases during the production of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides derived from wheat and their foaming and emulsion properties. Dry heating, aqueous heating, and ultrasound treatment were employed as pretreatments for the protein prior to the enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat gluten. FTIR analysis results indicated that all pretreatment methods altered the secondary structure of the protein; however, the effects of dry heating treatment on the secondary structure content were opposite to those of aqueous heating and ultrasound treatment. Nevertheless, all three methods enhanced the protein solubility and surface hydrophobicity. By using pretreated proteins as substrates, five different types of proteases were employed for DPP-IV inhibitory peptide production. The analysis of the DPP-IV inhibitory activity, degree of hydrolysis, and TCA-soluble peptide content revealed that the specific pretreatments had a promoting or inhibiting effect on DPP-IV inhibitory peptide production depending on the protease used. Furthermore, the pretreatment method and the selected type of protease collectively influenced the foaming and emulsifying properties of the prepared peptides.

Abstract
Plant-based protein products, represented by "plant meat", are gaining more and more popularity as an alternative to animal proteins. In the present review, we aimed to update the current status of research and industrial growth of plant-based protein products, including plant-based meat, plant-based eggs, plant-based dairy products, and plant-based protein emulsion foods. Moreover, the common processing technology of plant-based protein products and its principles, as well as the emerging strategies, are given equal importance. The knowledge gap between the use of plant proteins and animal proteins is also described, such as poor functional properties, insufficient texture, low protein biomass, allergens, and off-flavors, etc. Furthermore, the nutritional and health benefits of plant-based protein products are highlighted. Lately, researchers are committed to exploring novel plant protein resources and high-quality proteins with enhanced properties through the latest scientific and technological interventions, including physical, chemical, enzyme, fermentation, germination, and protein interaction technology.

Abstract
Lentinula edodes has high nutritional value and abundant protein. In order to develop and utilize edible mushroom protein, this study was designed to investigate the effects of TGase-catalyzed glycosylation and cross-linking on the physicochemical and functional properties of Lentinus edodes protein fraction. The results showed that within a certain time, glycosylation and TGase-catalyzed glycosylation decreased the total sulfydryl, free sulfydryl, disulfide bond, surface hydrophobicity, β-fold and α-helix, but increased the fluorescence intensity, random coil, β-turn, particle size and thermal stability. The apparent viscosity and the shear stress of the protein with an increase in shear rate were increased, indicating that TGase-catalyzed glycosylation promoted the generation of cross-linked polymers. In addition, the TGase-catalyzed glycosylated proteins showed a compact texture structure similar to the glycosylated proteins at the beginning, indicating that they formed a stable three-dimensional network structure. The flaky structure of proteins became more and more obvious with time. Moreover, the solubility, emulsification, stability and oil-holding capacity of enzymatic glycosylated Lentinus edodes protein fraction were significantly improved because of the proper TGase effects of glycosylation grafting and cross-linking. These results showed that glycosylation and TGase-catalyzed glycosylation could improve the processing characteristics of the Lentinula edodes protein fraction to varying degrees.

Application of Whey Protein-Based Emulsion Coating Treatment in Fresh-Cut Apple Preservation. Foods 2023; 12:foods12061140. [PMID: 36981067 PMCID: PMC10048030 DOI: 10.3390/foods12061140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Fresh-cut fruit requires an edible and water-resistant coating to remain fresh. This article investigated the effects of transglutaminase (TGase) and sunflower oil on the water-resistant characteristics, mechanical properties, and microstructure of a whey protein-based film. The whey protein-based emulsion coating’s preservation effect on fresh-cut apples was confirmed. According to the findings, sunflower oil (added at 1.5% w/w) could interact with β-lactoglobulin, α-lactoglobulin dimer, and β-lactoglobulin dimer to form emulsion droplets that are evenly dispersed throughout the protein film. This effect, combined with the covalent cross-linking of TGase, significantly improves the films’ microstructure, mechanical properties, and water resistance. However, too much and unevenly distributed sunflower oil (add 3% w/w) partially prevented the covalent cross-linking of TGase, reducing the elongation at the break of the composite film. In the fresh-cut apple storage experiment, the whey protein-based emulsion coating treatment significantly reduced the weight loss rate and browning index of fresh-cut apples by 26.55% and 46.39%, respectively. This was accomplished by the coating treatment significantly inhibiting the respiration rate increase, PPO and CAT activity enhancement, H2O2 production, and MDA accumulation. This research provides practical, technical, and theoretical guidance for the preservation of fresh-cut fruit.

Conformational and thermal properties of gluten in wheat dough as affected by bacterial cellulose. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 220:175-182.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC), an important category of polysaccharides, was investigated as a texture improver in bakery products. This study focused on the changes in the conformational and thermal properties of gluten in the wheat dough system as affected by BC. Significant reductions in the free-SH content, fluorescence intensity, and surface hydrophobicity index (H0) were observed as a result of the increased BC addition. The electrophoresis profile (SDS-PAGE) and size exclusion (SE-HPLC) revealed the variation in molecular weight distribution, and the increase in the content of the 40-91 kDa molecular weight was at the expense of a decrease in the amount of the corresponding 10-40 kDa. When 0.1 % BC was added, both the α-helix and β-sheet contents increased as a result of enhanced chemical interactions, thereby contributing to the gluten matrix with higher thermal stability. Further supplementation interfered with the current ordered gluten structure, which could be supported by the lower α-helix/β-sheet content ratio and the decreased degradation temperature (Td) of gluten with 0.2 % BC. However, the observed decrease in the ratio of β-turns to β-sheets and weight loss at 600 °C indicated that a reconstructed gluten matrix induced by extra BC addition was formed to maintain the structural stability.

Abstract
Poor solubility of wheat gluten proteins (WG) has negative impact on functional attributes such as gelation and emulsification, which limits it use in the food industry. In this study, WG underwent different degrees of phosphorylation using sodium tripolyphosphate (STP). Phosphoric acid groups were successfully incorporated in the WG via covalent bonding (C–N–P and C–O–P) involving hydroxyl and primary amino groups from WG. The introduction of phosphoric acid groups increased the negative charge of phosphorylation-WG, which caused the enhancement of electrostatic repulsion between proteins and reduced the droplet size in emulsions, thereby allowing proteins to be more efficiently dispersed in the solution system. The change of structure induced with phosphorylation improved hydration of protein, making the WG with higher solubility, thereby resulting in the improvement of its emulsification, foaming, thermal stability, and rheological properties. Therefore, WG can be modified by phosphorylation which caused an overall improvement of functional properties, thus facilitating the expansion of WG applications. Functional properties of WG were enhanced with phosphorylation (PP). The P2p at 133.1 eV and the bonds of C–O–P and C–N–P were found in PP-WG. Greater ζ-potential, solubility, viscosity, foaming in PP- WG. Phosphorylation increased WG thermal stability and gel properties.
