[PMID: 37826897 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137681] [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: 07/23/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
Xylitol and NaCl were studied as alternative inhibitors of gelation in frozen egg yolks, considering the current dietary preference for low salt and low sucrose intake. The effects of different ratios of xylitol and NaCl on gelation were investigated. Compared to the control group, all treatment groups showed decreased egg yolk particle size and turbidity, increased solubility, surface hydrophobicity, λmax, and fluorescence intensity, reduced loss of free water, and enhanced yolk fluidity. The addition of xylitol and NaCl effectively prevented ice crystal growth, minimized protein denaturation caused by water loss, and formed complexes with proteins and water lost during freezing, thereby inhibiting the aggregation of protein molecules and the formation of gels. This study presents a novel and healthier strategy for inhibiting gelation of frozen egg yolk using xylitol and NaCl.

Abstract
Eggs are among the most nutritious foods in the world, a versatile ingredient in many food applications due to their functional attributes such as foaming, emulsifying, and coloring agents. Many studies have been reported on egg yolk fractionation and characterization in the last decade because of its nutritional and health benefits, especially egg yolk granules. This has led to the development of new food products and packaging materials. However, the influence of their physical characteristics during processing significantly impacts the functionality of yolk granules. In this overview, the egg yolk, the granule fraction's separation, fractionation, components, and molecular protein structure are first presented. Secondly, recent studies on egg yolk granules published over the past decade are discussed. Furthermore, the application of the granules in different industries and current specific scientific challenges are discussed. Finally, it simplifies the changes in the physical characteristics of the granules during different treatment methods and the impact on the functionalities of the resulting products in the food (emulsifiers, edible films), pharmaceutical, and health (encapsulation systems and biosensors) sectors.

Interaction of Bioactive Mono-Terpenes with Egg Yolk on Ice Cream Physicochemical Properties. Foods 2021; 10:foods10081686.

Abstract
Using natural multi-function phytochemicals could be one of the best solutions for clean-label production. In this study, dairy ice creams were prepared containing 14% egg yolk and 0.1% of thymol (THY), trans-cinnamaldehyde (TC), menthol (MEN), or vanillin (VAN). Then, the physical, chemical, and structural characteristics were evaluated. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis (a rapid, chemical-free, and non-invasive tool) was carried out to evaluate the water distribution. A multivariate analysis was conducted among all studied variables. According to the results, the overrun of the MEN ice cream was significantly increased as compared to the control sample. The density was also reduced in the MEN sample. Meanwhile, the spreadability (%) of VAN was significantly increased after 6 min as compared to the control treatment. MRI analysis revealed that water distribution was significantly changed in the THY group. The firmness and viscosity of THY samples were significantly increased (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that viscosity index and consistency were the top parameters affected by THY. The authors concluded that THY and VAN are promising stabilizers for ice-cream clean production.

The Role of Intact and Disintegrated Egg Yolk Low-Density Lipoproteins during Sponge Cake Making and Their Impact on Starch and Protein Mediated Structure Setting. Foods 2021; 10:foods10010107.

Abstract
The main sponge cake ingredients are flour, sucrose, eggs and leavening agents. Exogenous lipids (e.g., monoacylglycerols) are often used to increase air-liquid interface stability in the batter. There is a consumer trend to avoid foods containing such additives. We here reasoned that egg yolk may be an alternative source of surface-active lipids and set out to study the role of egg yolk lipids during sponge cake making. This was done by relocating or removing them prior to batter preparation using ethanol treatments and examining how this affects cake (batter) properties and structure setting during baking. Most egg yolk lipids occur within spherical low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) which were disintegrated by the ethanol treatments. Results showed that egg yolk lipids impact air-liquid interface stability and less so cake structure setting. To prepare high-quality sponge cakes by multistage mixing preferably intact LDLs or, alternatively, their components are needed to incorporate sufficient air during mixing and to stabilize it after mixing. It was also shown that the batter contains intact LDLs in the continuous phase and disintegrated LDLs at air-liquid interfaces. Sponge cake contains intact LDLs in the cake matrix, disintegrated LDLs at air-crumb interfaces and disintegrated LDLs incorporated into the protein network.

Abstract
Salted eggs, which are a traditional Chinese egg product, are favored by Chinese consumers and have become very popular in other Asian countries due to their unique features such as "fresh, fine, tender, loose, gritty and oily texture." In order to illuminate the forming process of salted egg, the gelation behavior and mechanism of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) induced by NaCl were investigated using marinated model outside the eggshell. Results showed that as the salting proceeded, the moisture content exhibited a decreasing trend. The NaCl content, oil exudation, hardness, and surface hydrophobicity showed constantly increasing trends. In the early stages of salting, the size of the LDL particles, soluble protein content, and T21 increased, whereas T21 (with D2O), T22, and the free sulfhydryl content declined. In the later stages of salting, LDL formed a multiple composite aggregate gel structure with filamentous apoproteins and non-spherical lipid particles intertwined with each other. The soluble protein content and T23 (without D2O) decreased, whereas T21 (with D2O), T22 and the free sulfhydryl content increased. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the fresh LDL mainly consisted of α-helix and β-sheet structures. After the gel becomes hardened, the LDL secondary structure was changed remarkably, characterized by the decrease of α-helix elements and increase of β-sheet elements. The results suggested that the oil exudation of salted LDL gels was mainly due to LDL destruction and the release of components (apoproteins, phospholipids, and neutral lipids) facilitated by increased interactions between apoproteins and lipids.

Abstract
Egg yolk is used as an emulsifying agent. Nevertheless, its high concentration of cholesterol is linked to chronic degenerative diseases that cause cardiovascular disease. In this study, three methods for reducing the level of cholesterol in egg yolks were studied. The first method consisted of physical separation of the granules contained in the yolk (NaG). The second method applied was the use of anionic chelating biopolymers, such as arabic gum solution (AG) and mesquite gum solution (MG), and the third method was extraction with a solvent (SA). For this purpose, the cholesterol present in egg yolks, the microstructure, particle size, zeta potential, and its emulsifying capacity were determined. The amount of cholesterol removed was 97.24% using 1% mesquite gum (MG1%), and 93.26% using 1% Arabic gum (AG1%). The zeta potential was determined, and the isoelectric point (ζ = 0) of egg yolk was identified as pH 4.6. While, at this pH, the zeta potential of mesquite gum was −14.8 mV, the zeta potential for the arabic gum was −16 mV. The emulsifying capacity of MG1% was 62.95%, while the emulsifying capacity of AG1% was 63.57%. The complex obtained can be used in the development of functional foods reduced in cholesterol.
