Food Chem 2024; 456:140056. [PMID: 38878546 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140056] [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: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
In this study, carrageenan (CG), xanthan gum (XG) and locust bean gum (LBG), which can be used in infant formulas in China national standards, were selected to prepare LF-polysaccharide complexes to improve the stability of lactoferrin. The results showed that LF interacted more strongly with polysaccharides and did not affect the LF structure to a large extent when the pH and protein/polysaccharide mass ratio were 7 and 10:1 for LF-CG, 8 and 5:1 for LF-XG, 7 and 15:1 for LF-LBG. The zeta potential and fluorescence intensity of the LF-polysaccharide complexes displayed a decreasing trend with the increase in pH. When pH < 6, LF-CG and LF-XG exhibited precipitation and increased UV absorbance. Complexation between LF and CG/XG mainly attributed to electrostatic interactions, while LF and LBG form complexes based on hydrogen bonding or hydrophobic interactions. This study could provide a reference for the practical application of LF in infant formula.

[PMID: 38591333 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.17067] [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: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
The effects of different types of acid coagulants and nano fish bone (NFB) additives on the characteristics of tofu were investigated using texture analyzers, SEM, FT-IR, and other techniques. The breaking force and penetration distance, in descending order, were found in the tofu induced by glucono-d-lactone (GDL) (180.27 g and 0.75 cm), citric acid (152.90 g and 0.74 cm), lactic acid (123.33 g and 0.73 cm), and acetic acid (69.84 g and 0.58 cm), respectively. The syneresis of these tofu samples was in the reverse order (35.00, 35.66, 39.66, and 44.50%). Lightness and whiteness were not significantly different among the different samples. Regardless of the acid type, the soluble calcium content in the soybean milk was significantly increased after adding NFB. As a result, the breaking force and penetration distance of all tofu samples increased significantly, but the syneresis decreased. Compared with tofu coagulated by other acids, GDL tofu formed a more uniform and dense gel network maintained by the highest intermolecular forces (especially hydrophobic interactions). Regarding the secondary structure, the lowest percentage of α-helix (22.72%) and, correspondingly, the highest β-sheet (48.32%) and random coil (18.81%) were noticed in the GDL tofu. The effects of NFB on the tofu characteristics can be explained by the changes in the gel network, intermolecular forces, and secondary structure, which were in line with the acid type. The characteristics of acid-induced tofu can be most synergistically improved by coagulation with GDL and NFB.

Food Chem 2024; 439:138122.

Abstract
Food safety concerns about the authenticity of soy product freshness have increased due to high demand from public. Developing an accurate and convenient monitoring method for freshness authenticity is crucial for safeguarding food safety. From this motive, this study employed PtPd NPs to encapsulate tetraphenylethylene (TPE) for engineering an AIE-based fluorescent nanozyme (PtPd NPs@TPE) with oxidase-like activity, achieving the ratiometric fluorescence monitoring of putrescine (PUT) to judge the freshness authenticity of soy products. In this design, PUT acted as an antioxidant and inhibited the oxidation process of PtPd NPs@TPE to o-phenylenediamine (OPD), leading to the reduction of oxidative product 2,3-diaminophenothiazine (DAP) alone with the weaken of yellow fluorescence from DAP at 552 nm and bright of bule fluorescence from PtPd NPs@TPE at 442 nm. On this basis, a ratiometric fluorescence strategy integrated with smartphone-based sensor was developed for PUT with acceptable results to combat food freshness fraud of soy products.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:129782. [PMID: 38281520 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129782] [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: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
The formation of a single soybean protein isolate (SPI) gel is limited by the processing conditions, and has the disadvantages of poor gel property, and it is usually necessary to add other biomacromolecules to improve its property. In this study, we investigated the effects of polysaccharide concentration on gel properties and interaction mechanisms of Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide (TFP)-SPI complexes. It was found that (1) the rheological properties, texture properties, water-holding properties, and thermal stability of TFP-SPI composite gels were improved with the addition of TFP (0.25-2.0 %, w/v) in a concentration-dependent manner; (2) hydrogen bond, the electrostatic interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and disulfide bond in the gel system increased with the increase of TFP concentration; (3) the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions played an important role in the formation of the TFP-SPI composite gel while hydrogen bond formation was the least contributor to the binary composite gel network. Overall, TFP is not only a critical health food but also a promising structural component for improving the gel properties of SPI.
