Abstract
This study investigated the interaction between pea protein amyloid-like nanofibril and epigallocatechin gallate, constructed and characterized the novel pea protein nanofibrils-derived hydrogel mediated by epigallocatechin gallate, and researched the functionalities of the hydrogel. Epigallocatechin gallate remodeled the structure of pea protein nanofibrils, and a stable and strong hydrogel was formed at a relatively low protein concentration (4.5%). Additionally, the hydrogels exhibited various surface structures and hydrogel properties dependent on the mass ratio. Strongest gel strength (51 g) was attained at 0.25 epigallocatechin gallate/pea protein nanofibrils mass ratio. Whereas, the hydrogels exhibited the highest water holding capacity (87%) at 0.05 mass ratio. The primary driving forces in the formation and maintaining of the hydrogels were hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds. Progressive rise of β-sheet content of pea protein nanofibrils occurred increasing epigallocatechin gallate concentration. This hydrogel holds great potential for applications in food processing, targeted delivery of nutraceuticals and biomedicine.

Abstract
Cold plasma is a nonthermal process used for modification of proteins. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of cold plasma technology on the phosphorylation degree, functional and oxidation properties, and structure of casein in sheep milk. Cold plasma treatment for 3-4 min significantly increased the phosphorylation degree and enhanced functional properties, including water-holding capacity, solubility, foaming capacity and stability. Besides, plasma treatment time profoundly influenced protein oxidation, and treatment for 2 and 3 min could be the preferred conditions to minimize protein change. The protein conformation became unstable with the extension of treatment time. Particle size, polymer dispersity index, and microscopy images confirmed alterations in the protein structure following 3 min of processing. Consequently, using cold plasma treatment at 10 kHz 20 kV for 3 min could be suggested for milk protein modification, providing a basis for the application of high-quality caseins in food processing.

Abstract
At present, there have been many research articles reporting that plant-based protein Pickering particles from different sources are used to stabilize Pickering emulsions, but the reports of corresponding review articles are still far from sufficient. This study focuses on the research hotspots and related progress on plant-based protein Pickering particles in the past five years. First, the article describes the mechanism by which Pickering emulsions are stabilized by different types of plant-based protein Pickering particles. Then, the extraction, preparation, and modification methods of various plant-based protein Pickering particles are highlighted to provide a reference for the development of greener and more efficient plant-based protein Pickering particles. The article also introduces some of the most promising applications of Pickering emulsions stabilized by plant-based protein Pickering particles in the food field. Finally, the paper also discusses the potential applications and challenges of plant-based protein Pickering particles in the food industry.

Evaluation of structure, quality, physicochemical properties, and phenolics content of pea proteins: A novel strategy through the incorporation of fermentation. J Food Sci 2024; 89:1517-1530. [PMID: 38317408 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16946] [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: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
The utilization of pea proteins (PPs) is limited due to their relatively low protein digestibility (∼81%) compared to animal-based proteins, such as whey. The present investigation involved the fermentation of PPs at a concentration of 1% (w/v) using 5% (w/v) water kefir for 60 h at 25°C to improve the functional properties of PPs. The results showed a significant (p < 0.05) increase in lactic acid and acetic acid production during fermentation. These findings suggest that PPs can be effectively fermented using water kefir as a starter culture for the increased protein digestibility of PPs. The PP conformation underwent modifications, including secondary and tertiary protein structure alterations. The total phenolic compounds increased throughout the fermentation, reaching around 695.32 ± 15 mg gallic acid equivalent/100 g after 24 h of fermentation. Furthermore, the fermentation process has culminated in significant (p < 0.05) changes in the surface charge and hydrophobic properties of the fermented PPs, from -38.1 to -45.73 and 362.7 to 550.2, respectively. Fermentation using water kefir is a promising technique for improving the digestibility, protein structure, and nutritional values of PPs.

Molecular forces driving protein complexation of lentil and whey proteins: Structure-function relationships of trehalose-conjugated protein complexes on protein digestibility and solubility. Curr Res Struct Biol 2024; 7:100135. [PMID: 38516624 PMCID: PMC10955282 DOI: 10.1016/j.crstbi.2024.100135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Plant-based proteins are often associated with a range of health benefits. Most research primarily investigates pea and soy proteins, while lentil proteins received minimal attention. This study evaluates the effect of protein complexation (using the pH-shifting technique) coupled with trehalose conjugation on lentil and whey proteins. The protein structures after the modification were analysed using spectroscopic methods: Fourier-transform infrared, ultraviolet spectra, and fluorescence spectra. The amide group I, conformation protein, and tertiary structure of the trehalose-conjugated lentil-whey protein complexes (T-LWPs) showed significant changes (P < 0.05). Moreover, the surface properties (surface hydrophobicity and charges) of T-LWPs were significantly modified (P < 0.05), from 457 to 324 a.u and from 36 to -40 mV, respectively. Due to these modifications on the protein structures, the protein digestibility (80-86%) and water solubility (90-94.5%) of T-LWPs increased significantly (P < 0.05) with the increase in the trehalose concentration, from 0 (control) to 5% (w/w), respectively. This study suggested that coupling protein complexation and trehalose conjugation can enhance the overall properties of lentil-based protein complexes. With this enhancement, more opportunities in the utilisation of lentils are to be expected.
