Abstract
Molecular weight is one of the main characteristic parameters of proteins, which is the basis for the functional properties of milk protein. This research aims at establishing molecular weight distribution pattern of milk protein based on exclusion chromatography. The method selected Na3PO4-Na2SO4 (0.1 M, pH 6.7) buffer as the mobile phase and detected at 220 nm by HPLC-UV. The protein molecular weight distributions were determined and compared for human milk, bovine milk, and infant formula. The proportion of macromolecular proteins is much higher in infant formula compared to human or bovine milk. The protein molecular weights of human and bovine milk are significantly different around 90, 20, 14, and 2 kDa. The results provide holistic compare of bovine milk, human milk, and infant formula through protein molecular distribution. The new evaluation indicators for protein will drive technological simulation of infant formula.

Abstract
The lactosylation of whey proteins affects their properties, especially their allergenicity and nutritional value, which matters in infant feeding. The quantification of lactosylated peptides requires analytically pure standards which are not commercially available. Herein, we proposed a fast, simple, and efficient protocol for the synthesis of lactosylated peptides on solid support based on microwave-assisted synthesis combined with boronate affinity chromatography utilizing the functionalized resin developed in our research group. We have used our method to synthesize identified modified peptides derived from β-lactoglobulin in tryptic digestion. Thus, the standard peptides contain the dabcyl moiety for determination of the amount in a sample and a cleavable linker to obtain tryptic analogs of β-lactoglobulin. Moreover, for the first time, we applied the functionalized resin to enrich the sample of human serum albumin lactosylated in vitro, into lactosylated peptides.

Abstract
Protein lactosylation is a significant modification that occurs during the heat treatment of dairy products, causing changes in proteins' physical-chemical and nutritional properties. Knowledge of the detailed lactosylation information on milk proteins under various heat treatments is important for selecting appropriate thermo-processing and identifying markers to monitor heat load in dairy products. In the present study, we used proteomics techniques to investigate lactosylated proteins under different heating temperatures. We observed a total of 123 lactosylated lysines in 65 proteins, with lactosylation even occurring in raw milk. The number of lactosylated lysines and proteins increased moderately at 75°C to 130°C, but dramatically at 140°C. We found that 6 out of 10, 9 out of 16, 6 out of 12, and 5 out of 15 lysine residues in κ-casein, β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin, and αS1-casein, respectively, were lactosylated under the applied heating treatment. Moreover, different lactosylation states of individual lysines and proteins can indicate the intensity of heating processes. Lactosylation of K14 in β-lactoglobulin could distinguish pasteurized and UHT milk, while lactosylation of lactotransferrin can reflect moderate heat treatment of products.

Development of Ready-to-Eat Organic Protein Snack Bars: Assessment of Selected Changes of Physicochemical Quality Parameters and Antioxidant Activity Changes during Storage. Foods 2022; 11:foods11223631. [PMID: 36429223 PMCID: PMC9689689 DOI: 10.3390/foods11223631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Novel organic high-protein bars (HPB) were developed and produced from organic ingredients such as prebiotic and pro-healthy additives or whey protein concentrate (WPC-80). The influence of temperature and time on the selected physicochemical parameters and antioxidant activity of three formulations of HPBs when stored (at 4 °C and 22 °C for 3 months) was investigated. The fresh products varied on the basis of available carbohydrates, crude lipids, amino acid profile, and fatty acid profile resulting from the used formulations. A total of 17 amino acids (AA), including 10 essential amino acids (EAA), were identified in HPBs. The concentrations of all essential amino acids determined by EAA scores (AAS), except Histidine (His), were higher than the FAO/WHO/UNU (2007) pattern; for the WPC-80 however, in the case of the developed HPB, the scores were lower (0.21-0.48). The first limiting amino acid in HPB was Val (Valine). The temperature and time of storage significantly affected the proximate chemical composition and an assessment of the products' antioxidant activity. The amino acid and fatty acid composition of stored products slightly changed. However, stored HPBs had a low content of trans fatty acids (TFAs). The optimal method of storage for the investigated bars was at the temperature of 4 °C for 3 months.

Focus on the Protein Fraction of Sports Nutrition Supplements. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27113487.

Abstract
Increasing awareness of balanced diet benefits is boosting the demand for high-protein food and beverages. Sports supplements are often preferred over traditional protein sources to meet the appropriate dietary intake since they are widely available on the market as stable ready-to-eat products. However, the protein components may vary depending on both sources and processing conditions. The protein fraction of five commercial sports supplements was characterized and compared with that of typical industrial ingredients, i.e., whey protein concentrates and isolates and whey powder. The capillary electrophoresis profiles and the amino acid patterns indicated that, in some cases, the protein was extensively glycosylated and the supplemented amino acids did not correspond to those declared on the label by manufacturers. The evaluation by confocal laser scanning microscopy evidenced the presence of large aggregates mainly enforced by covalent crosslinks. The obtained findings suggest that, beside composition figures, provisions regarding sports supplements should also consider quality aspects, and mandatory batch testing of these products would provide more reliable information to sport dieticians.

Abstract
In the food and feed industry, protein extraction is commonly performed under acid or basic conditions, combined with heat, in order to increase the extraction yield. Under severe processing conditions, proteins may undergo molecular modifications. Here, the effects of heating (30, 60, 90 °C) at different pH values (2, 7, 9, 11, 13) were evaluated on commercial whey proteins, used as a simplified protein model. The main structure and chemical modifications concerning protein aggregation, hydrolysis, insolubilization, amino acid degradation and racemization were investigated in detail. Using in vitro static models, the degree of protein hydrolysis and the released peptides were determined after the digestive process. Accumulation of molecular modifications was mostly observed after basic pH and high temperatures treatments, together with a marked decrease and modification of the digestibility profile. Instead, protein digestibility increased in neutral and acidic conditions in a temperature-dependent manner, even if some modification in the structure occurs.

Abstract
Not all the coffee produced goes to the roasting stage, because non-compliant green coffee beans are usually discarded by roasters and the silverskin of the coffee is usually removed and discarded. In the present work, non-compliant green coffee beans and coffee silverskins were fully characterized from a chemical point of view. In addition, enzyme-assisted extraction was applied to recover a fraction rich in proteins and polyphenols, tested for antimicrobial, antityrosinase, and antioxidant activities. Non-compliant green coffee beans showed higher amounts of polyphenols, flavanols, flavonoids, and caffeine than coffee silverskins (which were richer in tannins). The enzymatic extraction of non-compliant coffee green beans produced extracts with a good protein content and with a consistent quantity of polyphenols. The extract showed antioxidant, antityrosinase, and antimicrobial activity, thus representing a promising strategy to recover defective green coffee beans. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of coffee silver skins is lower than that of non-compliant coffee green beans extracts, while the antityrosinase activity is comparable.
