Abstract
To improve nutritional health, a low-salt (0.5 %) silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) surimi gel with α-tocopherol, soybean oil, and glyceryl monostearate oleogel was fabricated and evaluated for textural qualities, lipid oxidation, and in-vitro digestion analysis. Based on the texture profile analysis, gel strength, water holding capacity (WHC), rheological, protein secondary structure, and microstructural examination, 5 % oleogel addition to low-salt surimi exhibited similar physicochemical properties to regular-salt surimi gels. By crosslinking myosin and filling protein network voids, the oleogel increased surimi gel density. Increasing oleogel content improved the physicochemical qualities of heat-induced surimi, causing protein aggregation during digestion and reducing digestibility. The presence of oleogel altered protein secondary structure, reducing α-helix content and increasing β-sheet and other structures, enhancing WHC and gel strength of low salt surimi. Adding oleogel improved the antioxidant activity of digestive solutions. This study will help understand myosin-oleogel interaction and the development of sustainable and nutritious surimi-based foods.

Evaluation of the Effect of Thickeners in Enteral Formulas on the Gastric Emptying Rate of Proteins and Carbohydrates Using a Semi-Dynamic Gastric Model. Nutrients 2024; 16:2115. [PMID: 38999863 PMCID: PMC11243014 DOI: 10.3390/nu16132115] [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: 05/20/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The emptying rate of specific nutrients in enteral formulas is poorly understood, despite the importance of controlling the emptying rate in tube-fed patients. Because of their viscosity, thickened formulas are widely used to avoid gastric reflux and reduce the burden on caregivers. This study examined how thickeners in enteral formulas affected the gastric emptying rates of proteins and carbohydrates. A semi-dynamic gastric model was used to prepare and digest test enteral formulas that contained either no thickeners or agar (0.2%). The amounts of protein and carbohydrates in each emptied aliquot were determined, and the emptying rate was calculated. We found that agar accelerated protein emptying, and an exploratory experiment with agar (0.5%) suggested the possibility of concentration dependence. Additionally, experiments using gellan gum (0.08%), guar gum (0.2%), or carrageenan (0.08%, 0.2%) suggested that protein emptying could vary depending on the thickener type and that carrageenan might slow it. These results could help with the appropriate selection of thickeners added to liquid foods based on the patient's metabolic profile to manage nutrition, not only for tube-fed patients but also for those with oropharyngeal dysphagia or diabetes.

Torp Nielsen M, Roman L, Corredig M. In vitro gastric digestion of polysaccharides in mixed dispersions: Evaluating the contribution of human salivary α-amylase on starch molecular breakdown. Curr Res Food Sci 2024; 8:100759. [PMID: 38764978 PMCID: PMC11101712 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2024.100759] [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: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the impact of the addition of salivary α-amylase on starch hydrolysis in protein-containing dispersions during an in vitro digestion process. In vitro digestion provides useful insights on the fate of nutrients during gastro-intestinal transit in complex food matrices, an important aspect to consider when developing highly nutritious foods. Many foods contain polysaccharides, and as their disruption in the gastric stage is limited, salivary α-amylase is often neglected in in vitro studies. A reference study on the effect of salivary α-amylase using one of the most advanced and complex in vitro digestion models (INFOGEST) is, however, not available. Hence, this work reports the gastrointestinal breakdown of three mixed dispersions containing whey protein isolate with different polysaccharides: potato starch, pectin from citrus peel and maize starch. The latter was also studied after heating. No polysaccharide or salivary α-amylase-dependent effect on protein digestion was found, based on the free NH2 and SDS-PAGE. However, in the heat-treated samples, the addition of salivary α-amylase showed a significantly higher starch hydrolysis compared to the sample without α-amylase, due to the gelatinization of the starch granules, which improved the accessibility of the starch molecules to the enzyme. This work demonstrated that the presence of different types of polysaccharides does not affect protein digestion, but also it emphasizes the importance of considering the influence of processing on food structure and its digestibility, even in the simplest model systems.

Abstract
The phase separation behavior of mixed solution of caseinate (Cas) and alginate (Alg) was investigated. Lactobacillus plantarum FZU3013 was encapsulated using 4 % Cas/1 % Alg gel beads with a phase-separated structure. The bacteria were predominantly distributed in the Alg-rich continuous phase. The use of 4 % Cas/1 % Alg beads resulted in higher encapsulation efficiency for L. plantarum FZU3013 compared to 1 % Alg beads. After 5 weeks of storage at 4 °C, the viable count in 4 % Cas/1 % Alg beads was 8.3 log CFU/g, which was 1.1 log CFU/g higher than that of the 1 % Alg beads. When 1 % Alg beads of the smallest size were subjected to in vitro digestion, no viable bacteria could be detected at the end of the digestion, whereas the 4 % Cas/1 % Alg beads of the smallest size had a viable count of 3.9 log CFU/g. When the size of the 4 % Cas/1 % Alg beads was increased to 1000 μm, the viable count was 7.0 log CFU/g after digestion. The results of infrared spectroscopy and zeta potential indicated that hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between caseinate and alginate reinforced the structure of the gel beads and improved the protection for L. plantarum FZU 3013.

Abstract
Caulerpa lentillifera polysaccharide (CLP) has been characterized as a sulfated polysaccharide which can effectively inhibit lipid digestion. However, little information was known regarding its inhibitory mechanisms. In the present study, desulfation and degradation were conducted to prepare the derivatives of CLP, and a series of chemical and spectroscopic methods were used to elucidate the structure-activity relationship of CLP on the inhibitory effect of lipid digestion. Results revealed that CLP possessed excellent binding capacities for sodium cholate, sodium glycocholate, and sodium taurocholate. In addition, CLP can effectively inhibit lipase activity by quenching the fluorescence intensity, changing the secondary structure, and decreasing the UV-Vis absorbance. Of note, sulfate groups in CLP took a vital role in inhibiting lipase activity, while the molecular weight of CLP showed a positive correlation with the binding activities of bile acids. Furthermore, adding CLP into the whey protein isolate (WPI) emulsion system also impeded lipid digestion, indicating that CLP can be a potential reduced-fat nutraceutical used in food emulsion systems.

Water in water emulsion stabilized by liposomes developed from whey protein isolate and xanthan gum: Environmental stability and photoprotection effect for riboflavin.

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to explore the feasibility of water in water (W/W) emulsion stabilized with liposomes as a water-soluble nutraceutical carrier. A W/W emulsion system composed of xanthan gum (XG) and whey protein isolate (WPI) with different amount (0.2 %, 0.4 %, and 0.6 %) of liposomes as stabilizer was constructed. Fast green staining observation showed that XG was the internal phase and WPI was the continuous phase respectively. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that with the increase of liposomes concentration from 0.4 % to 0.6 %, the interface thickness of the W/W emulsions was approximately twice that of the 0.2 % liposome-stabilized emulsion.The emulsions remained stable under neutral and weakly alkaline conditions. The droplet sizes of the emulsions were little affected by ionic strength. The binding constant (Ka) for XG to riboflavin (12.22) was approximately 5 times that for WPI to riboflavin (2.46), suggesting that riboflavin had a stronger binding affinity for the XG molecule compared to WPI. The fluorescence spectra of riboflavin showed that 0.4 % and 0.6 % liposome stabilized emulsions could effectively retard the photodegradation of riboflavin under ultraviolet irradiation. The successful construction of liposomes stabilized W/W emulsion provides a novel strategy for delivering water-soluble bioactive substances.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the nutritional quality and digestibility of proteins in two red seaweed species, Gelidium corneum and Gracilaropsis longissima, through the application of in vitro gastrointestinal digestions, and evaluate the impact of two consecutive processing steps, extrusion and compression moulding, to produce food snacks. The protein content in both seaweeds was approximately 16 %, being primarily located within the cell walls. Both species exhibited similar amino acid profiles, with aspartic and glutamic acid being most abundant. However, processing impacted their amino acid profiles, leading to a significant decrease in labile amino acids like lysine. Nevertheless, essential amino acids constituted 35-36 % of the total in the native seaweeds and their processed products. Although the protein digestibility in both seaweed species was relatively low (<60 %), processing, particularly extrusion, enhanced it by approximately 10 %. Interestingly, the effect of the different processing steps on the digestibility varied between the two species. This difference was mainly attributed to compositional and structural differences. G. corneum exhibited increased digestibility with each processing step, while G. longissima reached maximum digestibility after extrusion. Notably, changes in the amino acid profiles of the processed products affected adversely the protein nutritional quality, with lysine becoming the limiting amino acid. These findings provide the basis for developing strategies to enhance protein quality in these seaweed species, thereby facilitating high-quality food production with potential applications in the food industry.

Abstract
Cryogels offer a promising macroporous platform that can be employed as either a functional ingredient in food composites or a colloidal template for incorporating bioactives, including probiotic living cells. The aim of the present work is to explore the functionality of two plant seed polysaccharides, flaxseed gum (FG) and alfalfa galactomannan (AAG), in individual and combined (1:1 ratio) milk protein-based cryogels, namely sodium caseinate (NaCas) and whey protein isolate (WPI). These cryogels were created by freeze-drying hydrogels formed via L.rhamnosus GG - a human gut-relevant probiotic strain - fermentation. Our findings showed that including gum in the composition limited volume contraction during lyophilisation, reduced macropore size and thickened cryogel skeleton vessels. Furthermore, gum-containing cryogels displayed improved thermal stability and slower water disintegration rates. The AAG-stabilised cryogels specifically showed a notable reduction in monolayer water content compared to FG. From a mechanistic viewpoint, AAG influenced the physicochemical and microstructural properties of the cryogels, most probably via its self-association during cryogenic processing, promoting the development of intertwined protein-gum networks. FG, on the other hand, enhanced these properties through electrostatic complexation with proteins. Cryogels made from protein-polysaccharide blends exhibited promising techno-functional properties for enhancing and diversifying food product innovation.

Abstract
This study has explored the potential of plant-derived oil bodies (OBs)-based oleogels as novel drug delivery systems for in vitro release under simulated physiological conditions. To obtain stable OBs-based oleogels, gum arabic (GA) and chitosan (CH) were coated onto the curcumin-loaded OBs using an electrostatic deposition technique, followed by 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzaldehyde (TB) induced Schiff-base cross-linking. Microstructural analyses indicated successful encapsulation of curcumin into the hydrophobic domain of the OBs through a pH-driven method combined with ultrasound treatment. The curcumin encapsulation efficiency of OBs increased up to 83.65 % and 92.18 % when GA and GA-CH coatings were applied, respectively, compared to uncoated OBs (63.47 %). In addition, GA-CH coatings retained the structural integrity of oleogel droplets with superior oil-holding capacity (99.07 %), while TB addition induced interconnected 3D-network structures with excellent gel strength (≥4.8 × 105 Pa) and thermal stability (≥80 °C). GA-CH coated oleogels appeared to provide the best protection for loaded bioactive against UV irradiation and high temperature-induced degradation during long-term storage. The combination of biopolymer coatings and TB-induced Schiff-base cross-linking synergistically hindered the simulated gastric degradability of oleogels, releasing only 23.35 %, 12.46 % and 7.19 % of curcumin by GA, GA-CH and GA-CH-TB stabilized oleogels, respectively, while also resulting in sustained release effects during intestinal conditions.

Abstract
Edible delivery systems such as emulsions and gels that possess flexible oral flavor sensation and comprehensive stability under freeze-thaw processing are highly demanded in the frozen food industry. Bigels were fabricated via emulsification of stearic acid based oleogel with konjac glucomannan (KGM)-gelatin (G) based binary hydrogel. By varing the KGM/G mass ratio (γ) and oleogel/hydrogel volume ratio (φ) of bigels, modulation over the micromorphology, tribology, flavor sensation and cheese stick imitating capacity were achieved. Notably, as φ increased from O4:W6 to O5:W5, the microstructural transformation from oleogel-in-hydrogel to bicontinuous morphology emerged as a remarkable feature. The influence of γ was evident in bicontinuous bigels, significantly enhancing water holding capacity (WHC) by 3.38-fold as γ transitioned from 1KGM:5G to 6KGM:5G during freeze-thaw cycles. φ and γ both played pivotal roles in altering the microstructure and rheological properties of the bigels, enabling customizable release of bioactive components and flavor perception. Oleogel-in-hydrogel bigels effectively prevented bioactive compound leakage during freeze-thaw conditions, while bicontinuous bigels demonstrated sustained flavor release during oral mastication. Release behaviors were dual-controlled by φ and γ, reducing oil-soluble flavor release with increased φ and lowering hydrophilic volatile release with elevated γ. Moreover, bigel-based cheese sticks showcased lower viscosity, higher creep recovery rates, and enhanced mouthfeel during minimal oral chewing, suggesting their potential in mimicking the properties of commercial counterparts. These findings extend insights into bigel design for tailored flavor release and bioactive preservation in food products.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of lactic-acid-bacteria fermentation on the microstructure and gastrointestinal digestibility of soy proteins using a digestomics approach. Fermented soy protein isolates (FSPIs) under varied fermentation-terminal pH demonstrated a colloidal solution (FSPI-7.0/6.0) or yogurt-like curd (FSPI-5.0/4.0) state. Cryo-electron microscopy figures demonstrated the loosely stacked layer of FSPI-7.0/6.0 samples, whereas a denser gel network was observed for FSPI-5.0/4.0 samples. Molecular interactions shifted from dominant ionic bonds to hydrophobic forces and disulfide bonds. The gastric/intestinal digestion demonstrated that the curd samples afforded a significantly low particle size and high-soluble protein and peptide contents in the medium and late digestive phases. A peptidomics study showed that the FSPI-6.0 digestate at early intestinal digestion had a high peptidome abundance, whereas FSPI curd digestates (FSPI-5.0/4.0) elicited a postponed but more extensive promotion during medium and late digestion. Glycinin G2/G4 and β-conglycinin α/α' subunits were the major subunits promoted by FSPI-curds. The spatial structures of glycinin G2 and β-conglycinin α subunits demonstrated variations located in seven regions. Glycinin G2 region 6 (A349-K356) and β-conglycinin α subunit region 7 (E556-E575), which were located at the interior of the 3D structure, were the key regions contributing to discrepancies at the late stage.

Abstract
Agar and κ-carrageenan emulsion gels and oil-filled aerogels were investigated as curcumin carriers and their structure and mechanical properties, as well as their structural changes upon in vitro gastrointestinal digestion were characterized. Agar emulsion gels presented stiffer behaviour, with smaller and more homogeneous oil droplets (ϕ ∼ 12 µm) than those from κ-carrageenan (ϕ ∼ 243 µm). The structure of κ-carrageenan gels was characterized by the presence of rigid swollen linear chains, while agar produced more branched networks. After simulated gastrointestinal digestion bile salt lamellae/micelles (∼5 nm) and larger vesicles of partially digested oil (Rg ∼ 20-50 nm) were the predominant structures, being their proportion dependent of the polysaccharide type and the physical state of the gel network. The presence of curcumin induced the formation of larger vesicles and limited the formation of mixed lamellae/micelles.
