Food Chem 2024; 445:138701. [PMID: 38350203 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138701] [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: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024]
Abstract
Multi-frequency ultrasound-assisted thawing (MUAT) has been proven to be an effective method of maintaining the quality of frozen food. The effects of magnetic nano-particles (MNPs) combined with MUAT and multi-frequency ultrasound-assisted sequential thawing (MUST) on water retention, myofibrillar protein (MP) structural characteristics, function characteristics, and MP aggregation and degradation of salmon (Salmo salar) were studied. The results showed that MNPs combined with multi-frequency ultrasound-assisted sequential thawing (MNPs-MUST) significantly improved the thawing rate and the retention of water and had better emulsifying and foaming properties. MNPs-MUST treatment reduced the oxidation and degradation of MP, increased sulfhydryl content, and protected the structure of MP. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) indicated that the MP transformed into a filamentous polymer into more evenly distributed units, resulting in higher protein solubility, lower surface hydrophobicity, and lower protein turbidity. Therefore, MNPs combined with MUST has a potential application value in the thawing research of frozen salmon.

Synergistic effect of protein foams and polysaccharide on the invisible hemostasis of acellular dermal matrix sponges. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133138. [PMID: 38901509 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Efficient management of hemorrhage is vital for preventing hemorrhagic shock and safeguarding wounds against infection. Inspired by the traditional Chinese steamed bread-making process, which involves kneading, foaming, and steaming, we devised a hemostatic sponge by amalgamating an acellular dermal matrix gel, hydroxyethyl starch, and rice hydrolyzed protein. The integration of hydroxyethyl starch bolstered the sponge's mechanical and hemostatic attributes, while the inclusion of rice hydrolyzed protein, acting as a natural foaming agent, enhanced its porosity This augmentation facilitated rapid blood absorption, accelerated clot formation, and stimulated the clotting cascade. Experimental findings underscore the exceptional biocompatibility and physicochemical characteristics of the hemostatic sponge, positioning it on par with commercially available collagen hemostatic sponges for hemorrhage control. Mechanistically, the sponge fosters aggregation and activation of red blood cells and platelets, expediting coagulation kinetics both in vivo and in vitro. Notably, this hemostatic sponge activates the clotting cascade sans crosslinking agents, offering a premium yet cost-effective biomaterial with promising clinical applicability.

Performance of Azolla pinnata fern protein hydrolysates as an emulsifier and nutraceutical ingredient in an O/W emulsion system and their effect on human gut microbiota and mammalian cells.

Abstract
This study investigated the dual potential of Azolla pinnata fern protein hydrolysates (AFPHs) as functional and nutraceutical ingredients in an oil/water emulsion system. The AFPH-stabilised emulsion (AFPH-E) displayed a small and uniform droplet distribution and was stable to aggregation and creaming over a wide range of pH (5-8), salt concentrations ≤ 100 mM, and heat treatment ≤ 70 °C. Besides, the AFPH-E possessed and maintained strong biological activities, including antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and antioxidant, under different food processing conditions (pH 5-8; NaCl: 50-150 mM, and heat treatment: 30-100 °C). Following in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, the antihypertensive and antioxidant activities were unchanged, while a notable increase of 8% was observed for DPPH. However, the antidiabetic activities were partially reduced in the range of 5-11%. Notably, AFPH-E modulated the gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, particularly Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, along with increased SCFA acetate, propionate, and butyrate. Also, AFPH-E up to 10 mg mL-1 did not affect the proliferation of the normal colon cells. In the current work, AFPH demonstrated dual functionality as a plant-based emulsifier with strong biological activities in an oil/water emulsion system and promoted healthy changes in the human gut microbiota.

Effect of gamma-ray and electron-beam irradiation on the structural changes and functional properties of edible insect proteins from Protaetia brevitarsis larvae. Food Chem 2024; 434:137463. [PMID: 37742545 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137463] [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: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
Edible insects are regarded as future food sources to replace traditional livestock proteins. However, insect proteins have poor processing properties owing to various structural limitations. We investigated the structure of Protaetia brevitarsis larvae proteins modified by irradiation, and analyzed their resulting processing abilities. Following irradiation with gamma rays and electron beams, the ratio of parallel β-sheets to β-turns changed significantly, and changes in the tertiary protein structures were also confirmed. The polydispersity indices of the proteins remained relatively constant following irradiation, although the zeta potential and mean diameter changed. Furthermore, the pH, protein solubility, surface hydrophobicity, foaming capacity, and emulsion stability were higher than those of the control, whereas the viscosity and foaming stability were lower. Thus, gamma ray and electron beam irradiation clearly lead to changes in the structures of edible insect proteins and improves their processing properties, promoting the industrial utilization of such proteins in the food industry.
