SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 313:124090. [PMID: 38428163 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
(-)-Epicatechin gallate (ECG) and piceatannol (PIC) are commonly polyphenols with excellent biological activities. β-Lactoglobulin (BLG) is a food-grade globule protein and its morphologies are sensitive to pH. This study used experimental and computational methods to determine the interaction of single or combined ECG and PIC with BLG at different pHs. The static quenching process was determined through fluorescence and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Compared with ECG, PIC could significantly bind to BLG with higher affinity. Their binding affinity for BLG with different morphologies followed the tendency of monomer > dimer > tetramer. The negative contribution of van der Waals forces, electrostatic interactions, and hydrogen bonds to ΔHo exceeded the positive contribution of hydrophobic interactions in the spontaneous and exothermic process. The reduced binding affinity in the ternary systems demonstrated the competitive binding between ECG and PIC on BLG, and the hinder effect of ECG or PIC was enhanced with increasing pH. Molecular docking studies revealed the same binding sites of ECG and PIC on various conformations of BLG and identical driven forces as thermodynamic results. Tryptophan and tyrosine were the main participators in the BLG + ECG and BLG + PIC systems, respectively. The conformational changes in the binary and ternary systems could be ascertained through synchronous fluorescence, circular dichroism, and dynamic light scattering. Furthermore, the effects of pH and BLG encapsulation on the antioxidant capacity and stability of ECG or PIC were also implemented. ECG or PIC was the most stable in the (BLG + PIC) + ECG system at pH 6.0. This study could clarify the interaction mechanism between ECG/PIC and BLG and elucidate the pH effect on their binding information. The results will provide basic support for their usage in food processing and applications.

Effect of Ultrasonic Treatment on the Physicochemical Properties of Bovine Plasma Protein-Carboxymethyl Cellulose Composite Gel. Foods 2024; 13:732.

Abstract
In order to improve the stability of bovine plasma protein-carboxymethyl cellulose composite gels and to expand the utilization of animal by-product resources, this study investigated the impact of different ultrasound powers (300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 W) and ultrasound times (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 min) on the functional properties, secondary structure and intermolecular forces of bovine plasma protein-carboxymethyl cellulose composite gel. The results showed that moderate ultrasonication resulted in the enhancement of gel strength, water holding capacity and thermal stability of the composite gels, the disruption of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions between gel molecules, the alteration and unfolding of the internal structure of the gels, and the stabilization of the dispersion state by electrostatic repulsive forces between the protein particles. The content of α-helices, β-turns, and β-sheets increased and the content of random curls decreased after sonication (p < 0.05). In summary, appropriate ultrasound power and time can significantly improve the functional and structural properties of composite gels. It was found that controlling the thermal aggregation behavior of composite gels by adjusting the ultrasonic power and time is an effective strategy to enable the optimization of composite gel texture and water retention properties.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2022; 21:4640-4682. [PMID: 36124402 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Proteins are important food ingredients that possess both functional and nutritional properties. High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is an emerging nonthermal food processing technology that has been subject to great advancements in the last two decades. It is well established that pressure can induce changes in protein folding and oligomerization, and consequently, HHP has the potential to modify the desired protein properties. In this review article, the research progress over the last 15 years regarding the effect of HHP on protein structures, as well as the applications of HHP in modifying protein functionalities (i.e., solubility, water/oil holding capacity, emulsification, foaming and gelation) and nutritional properties (i.e., digestibility and bioactivity) are systematically discussed. Protein unfolding generally occurs during HHP treatment, which can result in increased conformational flexibility and the exposure of interior residues. Through the optimization of HHP and environmental conditions, a balance in protein hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity may be obtained, and therefore, the desired protein functionality can be improved. Moreover, after HHP treatment, there might be greater accessibility of the interior residues to digestive enzymes or the altered conformation of specific active sites, which may lead to modified nutritional properties. However, the practical applications of HHP in developing functional protein ingredients are underutilized and require more research concerning the impact of other food components or additives during HHP treatment. Furthermore, possible negative impacts on nutritional properties of proteins and other compounds must be also considered.

Abstract
This study aimed to design a Pickering emulsion (PE) stabilized by whey protein isolate nanofibers (WPINs) prepared with subcritical water (SW) to encapsulate and prevent curcumin (Cur) degradation. Cur-loaded WPINs–SW stabilized PE (WPINs–SW–PE) and hydrothermally prepared WPINs stabilized PE (WPINs–H–PE) were characterized using the particle size, zeta potential, Congo Red, CD, and TEM. The results indicated that WPINs–SW–PE and WPINs–H–PE showed regular spherical shapes with average lengths of 26.88 ± 1.11 μm and 175.99 ± 2.31 μm, and zeta potential values were −38.00 ± 1.00 mV and −34.60 ± 2.03 mV, respectively. The encapsulation efficiencies of WPINs–SW–PE and WPINs–H–PE for Cur were 96.72 ± 1.05% and 94.07 ± 2.35%. The bio-accessibility of Cur of WPINs–SW–PE and WPINs–H–PE were 57.52 ± 1.24% and 21.94 ± 2.09%. In addition, WPINs–SW–PE had a better loading effect and antioxidant activities compared with WPINs–H–PE. SW could be a potential processing method to prepare a PE, laying the foundation for the subsequent production of functional foods.

Valorization of Cattle Slaughtering Industry By-Products: Modification of the Functional Properties and Structural Characteristics of Cowhide Gelatin Induced by High Hydrostatic Pressure.

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of different pressures (200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 MPa) and durations (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 min) on the functional properties, secondary structure, and intermolecular forces of cowhide gelatin. Our results show that high hydrostatic pressure significantly affected the two, three, and four-level structures of gelatin and caused the contents of the α-helix and β-turn to decrease by 68.86% and 78.58%, respectively (p < 0.05). In particular, the gelatin at 300 MPa for 15 min had the highest gel strength, emulsification, solubility, and foaming of all the treatment conditions under study. The analysis of the surface hydrophobicity, sulfhydryl content, zeta potential, and Raman spectroscopy shows that at a pressure of 300 MPa (15 min), the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions between collagen molecules are strongly destroyed, leading to changes in the tertiary and quaternary conformation of the protein and unfolding, with the electrostatic repulsion between protein particles making the decentralized state stable. In conclusion, moderate pressure and time can significantly improve the functional and structural properties of collagen, which provides theoretical support and guidance for realizing the high-value utilization of cowhide.

Abstract
In this study, the influence of levan on the phase behavior and the thermally induced gelation of the mixed β-lactoglobulin—levan gels as a function of polymer content, molecular weight and ionic strength was characterized. For this purpose, rheology was used to study the mechanical properties of the gels and the water binding of the network structure was investigated by time domain nuclear magnetic resonance. Phase behavior and network type were analyzed by optical observation and electron microscopy. Levan enhanced the aggregation and gel formation of β-lg due to segregative forces between the polymer species. Segregation was caused by the excluded volume effect and was more pronounced at lower ionic strength, higher levan contents and higher levan molecular weights. The presence of levan increased the water binding of the gel networks. However, this effect decreased with increasing levan content. At high ionic strength and high levan content, phase separated gels were formed. While segregative forces enhanced network formation, and therefore, increased the gel strength of mixed gels at low ionic strength, levan had also antagonistic effects on the network formation at high ionic strength and high polymer contents.

Abstract
The emulsion gels have attracted extensive interests due to their unique physical characters, remarkable stability, and control release properties of flavor and functional components compared to emulsions in liquid. In the current work, whey protein isolate (WPI)/κ-carrageenan (κ-CG) composite emulsion gels were fabricated based on the ultra-high-pressure (UHP) technology, in replacement of the traditional thermal, acid, or enzyme processing. Uniform composite emulsion gels could be fabricated by UHP above 400 MPa with minimum WPI and κ-CG concentrations of 8.0 and 1.0 wt%, respectively. The formation of UHP-induced emulsion gels is mostly attributed to the hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding. The emulsion gels with different textures, rheology properties, and microstructures could be fabricated through adjusting the formulations (WPI concentration, κ-CG concentration, and oil phase fraction) as well as processing under different conditions (pressure and time). Afterward, curcumin-loaded emulsion gels were fabricated and subjected to an in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion in order to investigate the gastrointestinal fate of curcumin. In vitro simulated digestion results demonstrated that the UHP treatment significantly retarded the release of curcumin but had little impact on the bioaccessibility of curcumin. The results in this work provide useful information for the construction of emulsion gels through a non-thermal process, which showed great potential for the delivery of heat-sensitive bioactive components.

Abstract
Nanoencapsulation of hydrophobic nutraceuticals with food ingredients has become one of topical research subjects in food science and pharmaceutical fields. To fabricate food protein-based nano-architectures as nanovehicles is one of effective strategies or approaches to improve water solubility, stability, bioavailability and bioactivities of poorly soluble or hydrophobic nutraceuticals. Milk proteins or their components exhibit a great potential to assemble or co-assemble with other components into a variety of nano-architectures (e.g., nano-micelles, nanocomplexes, nanogels, or nanoparticles) as potential nanovehicles for encapsulation and delivery of nutraceuticals. This article provides a comprehensive review about the state-of-art knowledge in utilizing milk proteins to assemble or co-assemble into a variety of nano-architectures as promising encapsulation and delivery nano-systems for hydrophobic nutraceuticals. First, a brief summary about composition, structure and physicochemical properties of milk proteins, especially caseins (or casein micelles) and whey proteins, is presented. Then, the disassembly and reassembly behavior of caseins or whey proteins into nano-architectures is critically reviewed. For caseins, casein micelles can be dissociated and further re-associated into novel micelles, through pH- or high hydrostatic pressure-mediated disassembly and reassembly strategy, or can be directly formed from caseinates through a reassembly process. In contrast, the assembly of whey protein into nano-architectures usually needs a structural unfolding and subsequent aggregation process, which can be induced by heating, enzymatic hydrolysis, high hydrostatic pressure and ethanol treatments. Third, the co-assembly of milk proteins with other components into nano-architectures is also summarized. Last, the potential and effectiveness of assembled milk protein nano-architectures, including reassembled casein micelles, thermally induced whey protein nano-aggregates, α-lactalbumin nanotubes or nanospheres, co-assembled milk protein-polysaccharide nanocomplexes or nanoparticles, as nanovehicles for nutraceuticals (especially those hydrophobic) are comprehensively reviewed. Due to the fact that milk proteins are an important part of diets for human nutrition and health, the review is of crucial importance not only for the development of novel milk protein-based functional foods enriched with hydrophobic nutraceuticals, but also for providing the newest knowledge in the utilization of food protein assembly behavior in the nanoencapsulation of nutraceuticals.

Foods 2021; 10:foods10030667. [PMID: 33804726 PMCID: PMC8003865 DOI: 10.3390/foods10030667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Revised: 03/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
This work aimed to improve the functional properties of soybean protein isolate (SPI) by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and develop SPI incorporated yogurt. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the HHP treatment parameters, including pressure, holding time, and the ratio of SPI/water. Water holding capacity, emulsifying activity index, solubility, and hardness of SPI gels were evaluated as response variables. The optimized HPP treatment conditions were 281 MPa of pressure, 18.92 min of holding time, and 1:8.33 of SPI/water ratio. Water and oil holding capacity, emulsifying activity, and stability of SPI at different pH were improved. Additionally, relative lipoxygenase (LOX) activity of HHP treated SPI (HHP-SPI) was decreased 67.55 ± 5.73%, but sulphydryl group content of HHP-SPI was increased 12.77%, respectively. When incorporating 8% of SPI and HHP-SPI into yogurt, the water holding capacity and rheological properties of yogurt were improved in comparison with yogurt made of milk powders. Moreover, HHP-SPI incorporated yogurt appeared better color and flavor.

Stability improvement of reduced-fat reduced-salt meat batter through modulation of secondary and tertiary protein structures by means of high pressure processing. Meat Sci 2021; 176:108439. [PMID: 33740608 DOI: 10.1016/j.meatsci.2021.108439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2020] [Revised: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 01/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of high-pressure processing (HPP) at 100 to 400 MPa for 2 min on the stability of reduced-fat reduced-salt (RFRS) meat batter. Total expressible fluid (TEF) of RFRS batter reached its minimum value at 200 MPa. The results of Raman spectra revealed that α-helix reached its random coils increased as the pressure level was increased, and pressure up to 200 MPa remarkably increased protein unfolding but 400 MPa increased aggregation. Finally, Raman spectra and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed that 200 MPa significantly increased tryptophan, tyrosine doublet, CH3 and/or CH stretching and proton intensities related to water and fats; but decreased β structures, SS stretching (475) and (g-g-t or t-g-t, 540), as compared with the control. RFRS batter treated at 200 MPa is beneficial for the meat industry from the technological point of view and for consumers from the health point of view, as the improved emulsion stability contributed by the modified secondary and tertiary structures.

Abstract
Tofu is a traditional product made mainly from soybeans, which has become globally popular because of its inclusion in vegetarian, vegan, and hypocaloric diets. However, with both commercial production of tofu and scientific research, it remains a challenge to produce tofu with high quality, high nutrition, and excellent flavor. This is because tofu production involves multiple complicated steps, such as soybean selection, utilization of appropriate coagulants, and tofu packaging. To make high-quality tofu product, it is important to systematically understand critical factors that influence tofu quality. This article reviews the current research status of tofu production. The diversity of soybean seeds (the raw material), protein composition, structural properties, and nutritional values are reviewed. Then, selection of tofu coagulants is reviewed to provide insights on its role in tofu quality, where the focus is on the usage of mix coagulants and recent developments with new coagulants. Moreover, a comprehensive summary is provided on recent development in making high-fiber tofu using Okara (the major by-product during tofu production), which has a number of potential applications in the food industry. To help encourage automatic, environmental friendly, and high-efficient tofu production, new developments and applications in production technology, such as ultrasound and high-pressure process, are reviewed. Tofu packaging, including packaging materials and techniques, is evaluated as it has been found to have a positive impact on extending the shelf life and improving the quality of tofu products. Finally, the future research directions and potential areas for new developments are discussed.

Abstract
High pressure, an emerging nonthermal technology has been widely applied in food product modifications. The effects of oat β-glucan concentration and pressure on the properties of mixed gels with the different ratios of varying molecular weight (MW) β-gulcan induced by HPP were investigated. The results showed that the lowest β-glucan concentration forming a gel was 15% at 200 MPa, while 8% β-glucan was required to form a gel at 500 MPa. The gel intensity and textural properties increased with elevating β-glucan total concentration and pressure. The characteristic compact and smooth mixed gel formed with 12% β-glucan at a ratio of 50:50 at 400 MPa for 30 min. Under this optimal parameters, the mixed solution showed a relatively lower particle size and turbidity, and the hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction played the main role during the gel formation process by high pressure. In addition, the core molecular structure of β-glucan was maintained in the mixed gel formed under the optimal parameters.

Abstract
Gels are viscoelastic systems built up with a liquid phase entrapped in a three-dimensional network, which can behave as carriers for bioactive food ingredients. Many attempts have been made to design gel structures in the water phase (hydrogels, emulsion gels, bigels) or oil phase (organogels, bigels) in order to improve their delivery performances. Hydrogels are originated from proteins or polysaccharides, which are suitable for the delivery of hydrophilic ingredients. Organogels are mainly built up with the self-assembling of gelator molecules in the oil phase, and they offer good carriers for lipophilic ingredients. Emulsion gels and bigels, containing both aqueous and oil domains, can provide accommodations for lipophilic and hydrophilic ingredients simultaneously. Gel structures (e.g. rheology, texture, water holding capacity, swelling ratio) can be modulated by choosing different gelators, modifying gelation techniques, and the involvement of other ingredients (e.g. oils, emulsifiers, minerals, acids), which then alter the diffusion and release of the bioactive ingredients incorporated. Various studies have proved that gel-based delivery systems are able to improve the stability and bioavailability of many bioactive food ingredients. This review provides a state-to-art overview of different gel-based delivery systems, highlighting the significance of structure-functionality relationship, to provide advanced knowledge for the design of novel functional foods.
