Abstract
Ultra-instantaneous UHT (UI-UHT, >155°C, <0.1 s) treated milk exhibits higher retention of active protein than regular UHT milk. However, UI-UHT products demonstrate increased susceptibility to destabilization during storage. This study aimed at monitoring the destabilizing process of UI-UHT milk across different storage temperatures and uncovering its potential mechanisms. Compared with regular UHT treatment, ultra-instantaneous treatment markedly accelerated the milk's destabilization process. Aged gel formation occurred after 45 d of storage at 25°C, whereas creaming and sedimentation were observed after 15 d at 37°C. To elucidate the instability mechanism, measurements of plasmin activity, protein hydrolysis levels, and proteomics of the aged gel were conducted. In UI-UHT milk, plasmin activity, and protein hydrolysis levels significantly increased during storage. Excessive protein hydrolysis at 37°C resulted in sedimentation, whereas moderate hydrolysis and an increase in protein particle size at 25°C resulted in aged gel formation. Proteomics analysis results indicated that the aged gel from UI-UHT milk contained intact caseins, major whey proteins, and their derived peptides. Furthermore, specific whey proteins including albumin, lactotransferrin, enterotoxin-binding glycoprotein PP20K, and MFGM proteins were identified in the gel. Additionally, MFGM proteins in UI-UHT milk experienced considerable hydrolysis during storage, contributing to fat instability. This study lays a theoretical foundation for optimizing UI-UHT milk storage conditions to enhance the quality of liquid milk products.

Abstract
Introducing Holstein cows on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is a potential solution to enhance local milk production. However, the relationship between milk quality and altitude in China remains unknown. Therefore, the components and plasmin (PL) system of raw milk from different altitudes (sea level, 1600, 2700, and 3800 m) were investigated. The daily milk production of Holstein cows and PL activity decreased as the altitude increased. However, the components content of raw milk, plasminogen (PLG)/PL ratio, activities of PLG and plasmin activator (PA) increased with altitude. The pasteurization resulted a significant decrease in PA activity of all milk and a significant increase in PL activity in milk collected at higher altitudes (2700 and 3800 m), suggesting the pasteurization was unsuitable for preserving milk at higher altitudes. This study offered references for the production and storage of milk after introducing Holstein cows on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate changes of physicochemical and functional properties of the processed cheeses (PCs) made with Cheddar (PC1), Mozzarella (PC2) and both of them at a ratio of 1:1 (PC3) during storage at 4 °C for 4 months. The results showed that the type of natural cheese used affected the composition of PCs with lower fat content in PC2 due to the lower fat content of Mozzarella cheese used. PC2 with lower fat content showed decreased meltability and oil leakage compared with PC1 and PC3. The stretchability of all the samples significantly (P < 0.05) decreased during storage, and PC1 showed lower stretchability. This was confirmed by increased protein hydrolysis of all the samples during the storage with a higher level of proteolysis in PC1, leading to decreased stretchability of PCs. Further low-field nuclear magnetic resonance analysis indicated more entrapped water in cheese due to moisture migration into the cheese matrix that might squeeze the fat globules to aggregate, causing more fat leakage during later stages of storage. This was evidenced by microstructural analysis showing different extents of increase in fat particle sizes and decrease in free serum in all the PC samples over the storage time. Therefore, the present study provides further understanding of the mechanism of quality change of PC during refrigerated storage as affected by proteolytic properties and composition of natural cheese used.

Abstract
Plasmin plays an important role in casein hydrolysis during cheese ripening, which may influence the properties of the casein network and the texture of the final product. In view of this, the relation between plasmin-induced casein hydrolysis and textural changes of cheese during ripening was investigated in this study. Four batches of model cheese with different concentrations of added plasmin (0, 0.4, 0.6 and 1.0 μL/g milk) were prepared, and were stored for 12 weeks at 16 °C. During this period, plasmin activity, casein hydrolysis, textural properties and other compositional characteristics (pH, dry matter) were determined. Our results show that the addition of plasmin had significant effect on both the degree and the pattern of proteolysis. As a result, cheeses with different plasmin content showed different textural properties. With increased plasmin concentration, Young's modulus, hardness, resilience and cohesion decreased, while brittleness increased. All textural properties showed linear relations with the degree of casein hydrolysis, and logarithmic relations with the percentage of intact casein fractions. At the beginning of ripening, only slight changes in textural properties were found, although a substantial part (40-60 %) of the casein fractions was already been broken down. When ripening progressed, ongoing proteolysis significantly weakened the protein network and consequently led to noticeable textural changes. Model cheeses became softer, more brittle and less elastic. The knowledge gained from this study provide new insights in the changes of different textural parameters of model cheese. This will help to optimize the existing products and create new ones.

Abstract
In this study, a new surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based method has been developed for the detection of plasmin activity. Firstly, different peptide sequences, which are specific to plasmin, were examined. Then, SERS substrates were prepared by chosen peptide substrate. Enzyme activity was determined by pursuing the reduction of DTNB band at 1331 cm-1 with Raman spectroscopy. The reduction in SERS intensity was related to the plasmin activity, and changes in SERS intensity vs. plasmin concentration graph was obtained. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values were calculated as 2.14 U/mL and 6.42 U/mL, respectively. Intra- and inter-day repeatability results were determined as 1.45% and 1.47% relative standard deviation (RSD). Also, recovery of the method was determined for the plasmin spiked milk samples. The results demonstrated that the proposed method could be successfully used to detect the plasmin activity in milk samples.

Abstract
Proteases present in milk are heat-sensitive, and their activities increase or decrease depending on the intensity of the thermal treatment applied. The thermal effects on the protease activity are well-known for bovine milk but poorly understood for ovine and caprine milk. This study aimed to determine the non-specific and specific protease activities in casein and whey fractions isolated from raw bovine, ovine, and caprine milk collected in early lactation, and to determine the effects of low-temperature, long-time (63°C for 30 min) and high-temperature, short-time (85°C for 5 min) treatments on protease activities within each milk fraction. The non-specific protease activities in raw and heat-treated milk samples were determined using the substrate azocasein. Plasmin (the main protease in milk) and plasminogen-derived activities were determined using the chromogenic substrate S-2251 (D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA dihydrochloride). Peptides were characterized using high-resolution liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. The activity of all native proteases, shown as non-specific proteases, was similar between raw bovine and caprine milk samples, but lower (P < 0.05) than raw ovine milk in the whey fraction. There was no difference (P > 0.05) between the non-specific protease activity of the casein fraction of raw bovine and caprine milk samples; both had higher activity than ovine milk. After 63°C/30 min, the non-specific protease activity decreased (44%; P > 0.05) for the bovine casein fraction only. In contrast, the protease activity of the milk heated at 85°C/5 min changed depending on the species and fraction. For instance, the activity decreased by 49% for ovine whey fraction, but it increased by 68% for ovine casein fraction. Plasmin and plasminogen were in general inactivated (P > 0.05) when all milk fractions were heated at 85°C/5 min. Most of the peptides present in heat-treated milk were derived from β-casein and αS1-casein, and they matched the hydrolysis profile of cathepsin D and plasmin. Identified peptides in ruminant milk samples had purported immunomodulatory and inhibitory functions. These findings indicate that the non-specific protease activity in whey and casein fractions differed between ruminant milk species, and specific thermal treatments could be used to retain better protease activity for all ruminant milk species.

Abstract
High-resolution ultrasonic spectroscopy (HR-US) was applied for precise detection of plasmin activity towards β-casein in buffer at pH 7.8 and 37 °C. The evolution of ultrasonic velocity and ultrasonic attenuation measured at 15.5 MHz is related to the concentration of peptide bonds hydrolyzed and loss of β-casein aggregates, respectively. The ultrasonic assay presents sensitive and direct activity-based quantification of plasmin levels in milk. The variation in plasmin concentration between HR-US and ELISA method owed to the differing detection principles. The real-time ultrasonic profiles of hydrolysis were utilized to describe the kinetic aspect of plasmin activity. The non-linear activity curve was fitted with classic and inverse Michaelis-Menten type models. Within 1-8.6 mg·mL-1 β-casein, the Vmax and KM obtained were (6.30 ± 2.21) × 10-5 mol.kg-1·min-1 and 10.33 ± 3.50 mg·mL-1, respectively. The maximum peptide bond cleaved was 5-6 (2.7% degree of hydrolysis) achieved at 1 mg·mL-1 β-casein.

Abstract
Proteases are key signalling molecules for many physiological processes and their dysregulation is implicated in the progression of a range of diseases. Sensitive methods to measure protease activities in complex biological samples are critical for rapid disease diagnoses. The proteolytic activity of plasmin reflects the fibrinolysis state of blood and its deregulation can indicate pathologies such as bleeding events. While Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET) is a powerful and sensitive method for the detection of protease activity, the commonly applied blue-shifted BRET2 system, consisting of the Renilla luciferase Rluc2 and the large-stokes shift fluorescent protein GFP2, suffers from light absorption and light scattering in human plasma samples. To address this challenge, we developed a red-shifted BRET-based plasmin sensor by substituting BRET2 with the BRET6 system. BRET6 is composed of the red-shifted RLuc8.6 luciferase linked to the red light emitting fluorescent protein TurboFP635. The BRET6 biosensor exhibited 3-fold less light absorption in plasma samples compared to the BRET2 sensor leading to an up to a 5-fold increase in sensitivity for plasmin detection in plasma. The limits of detection for plasmin were determined to be 11.90 nM in 7.5% (v/v) plasma with a 10 min assay which enables biologically relevant plasmin activities of thrombolytic therapies to be detected. While a colorigenic plasmin activity assay achieved a similar detection limit of 10.91 nM in 7.5% (v/v) human plasma, it required a 2 h incubation period. The BRET6 sensor described here is faster and more specific than the colorigenic assay as it did not respond to unspiked human plasma samples.
