Du L, Meng Z. Carrageenan-induced conjugated oat protein isolate microgel particles as structure modulators in fat analogues and their digestion behaviors. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 674:663-676. [PMID: 38950465 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.107] [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: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Engineering plant-based microgel particles (MPs) at a molecular scale is meaningful to prepare functional fat analogues. We hypothesize that oat protein isolate (OPI) and κ-carrageenan (CA) have synergy in MPs formation, using MPs with controllable structure, and further to fabricate fat analogues with adjustable characteristics is feasible. Their digestion fate will also be possibly modulated by interfacial coatings. EXPERIMENTS OPI-based conjugated MPs with tunable rigidities by changing crosslinking densities were designed. The relationship between microgel structures, and emulsion gel properties was explored through spectroscopy, microstructure, rheology and tribology. The delivery to lycopene, as well as inhibiting digestion behaviors of fat analogues was evaluated in a simulated gastro-intestinal tract. FINDINGS The rigidity of conjugated MPs could be tailored to optimize the performance of fat analogues. OPI-1 %CA MPs could stabilize emulsions up to 95 % oil fraction with fine texture. Tribological behaviors had a dependence on microgel elasticity and interfacial coatings, medium hard MP-stabilized emulsion was less disrupted without coalescence after oral processing. Digestion was delayed by denser and harder MPs by softening the interfacial particle layer or limiting lipase accessibility. Softer conjugated MPs possessed better flexibility and were broken down more easily leading to a higher rate of lipid digestion.

Changes in physicochemical, structural and functional properties, and lysinoalanine formation during the unfolding and refolding of pH-shifted black soldier fly larvae albumin.

Abstract
The changes of physicochemical, structural and functional properties and the lysinoalanine (LAL) formation during the unfolding and refolding of black soldier fly larvae albumin (BSFLA) induced by acid/alkaline pH shift were explored. The results showed that acid/alkaline conditions induced unfolding of BSFLA structure, but also accompanied by the formation of some large aggregates due to the hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and disulfide bonds. Compared with control or pH1.5 shift, pH12 shift treatment significantly increased the electrostatic repulsion, surface hydrophobicity, free sulfhydryl group, and deamidation reactions, but reduced the fluorescence intensity of BSFLA, and these change in protein conformation contributed to increase in solubility, emulsion activity, and emulsion stability. But the content of LAL in BSFLA was increased by 93.39 % by pH 12 shift treatment. In addition, pH1.5 shift modified BSFLA tended to form β-sheet structure through unfolding and refolding, resulting in the formation of aggregates with larger particle sizes, and reducing the solubility and the LAL content by 7.93 % and 65.53 %, respectively. SDS-PAGE profile showed that pH12/1.5 shifting did not cause irreversible denaturation of protein molecules. Therefore, pH12-shift is good way to improve the functional properties of BSFLA, but the content of LAL should be reduced to make it better used in food.

Abstract
To investigate the influence of particle characteristics on their lubricating capacity, microparticles of controlled size (~300, ~700, and ~1900 nm) were prepared from whey proteins using two different approaches: reducing the pH and increasing the calcium ion concentration. The physiochemical, morphological, and tribological properties of the two types of particles were determined. Both treatments pronouncedly decreased the absolute value of zeta-potential and surface hydrophobicity of whey proteins, with calcium ions showing a more severe effect on zeta-potential. The viscosity of the particle suspensions increased with particle size, and ion-induced samples showed higher viscosity than acid-induced ones. Morphology investigation revealed that particle aggregation and irregularity increased with particle size increase. Distinct lubricating behaviors were observed for the two particle types within different size ranges. Viscosity played a more important role in lubrication when the particle size was small, while particle characteristics became more dominant for large particles.

Abstract
This review discusses the current knowledge of interfacial and bulk interactions of biopolymeric microgels in relation to the well-established properties of synthetic microgels for applications as viscosity modifiers and Pickering stabilisers. We present a timeline showing the key milestones in designing microgels and their bulk/ interfacial performance. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) microgels have remained as the protagonist in the synthetic microgel domain whilst proteins or polysaccharides have been primarily used to fabricate biopolymeric microgels. Bulk properties of microgel dispersions are dominated by the volume fraction (ϕ) of the microgel particles, but ϕ is difficult to pinpoint, as addressed by many theoretical models. By evaluating recent experimental studies over the last five years, we find an increasing focus on the analysis of microgel elasticity as a key parameter in modulating their packing at the interfaces, within the provinces of both synthetic and biopolymeric systems. Production methods and physiochemical factors shown to influence microgel swelling in the aqueous phase can have a significant impact on their bulk as well as interfacial performance. Compared to synthetic microgels, biopolymer microgels show a greater tendency for polydispersity and aggregation and do not appear to have a core-corona structure. Comprehensive studies of biopolymeric microgels are still lacking, for example, to accurately determine their inter- and intra- particle interactions, whilst a wider variety of techniques need to be applied in order to allow comparisons to real systems of practical usage.

Curr Res Food Sci 2023; 7:100553.

Abstract
In this study, whey protein isolate (WPI) cold-set microgels containing marjoram (Origanum majorana) aqueous extract (MAE) were prepared at different pHs (4.0, 5.0, and 6.0). After characterization, the microgel dispersion was used to stabilize linseed oil-in-water Mickering emulsions (MEs). The resultant MEs were then characterized in terms of physicochemical and rheological properties under the effect of pH and MAE addition. The morphology, particle size, zeta potential, and interfacial tension of microgels were affected by pH and MAE. XRD patterns showed the amorphous structure. Microgel-stabilized MEs did not reveal any significant sign of instability under gravity during 6 months of storage. All MEs had dominant elastic character. Despite the lowest zeta potential values, MEs prepared at pH 4 showed the highest physical stability against gravity but the lowest centrifugal stability against oiling off, which indicated that both viscous and elastic components are required for MEs stability. This sample had the highest apparent viscosity and the strongest viscoelastic properties. Rheological data were best fitted with Herschel-Bulkley and Power Law models. An increase in pH and presence of MAE improved the oxidative stability of MEs. The results of this study showed that WPI microgels are appropriate candidate for long-term stabilization of linseed oil-in-water MEs. The presence of MAE is useful in designing special emulsions in which the aqueous phase is partially replaced by the aqueous extract of medicinal plants.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The utilization of emulsion-filled protein hydrogels for controlled lipid release in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) displays great potential in drug delivery and obesity treatment. However, how intermolecular interactions among protein molecules influence lipid digestion of the gels is still understudied. EXPERIMENTS Differently structured whey protein emulsion gels were fabricated by heating emulsions with blocking of disulfide bonds (the "noncovalent" gel), noncovalent interactions (the "disulfide" gel), or neither of these (the "control" gel). The intermolecular interactions-gel structure-lipid digestion relationship was investigated by characterizing structural/mechanical properties of the gels and monitoring their dynamic breakdown in a simulated GIT. FINDINGS Although the disulfide-crosslinked protein network formed thick interfacial layers around oil droplets and resisted intestinal proteolysis, the "disulfide" gel had the fastest lipolysis rate, indicating that it could not inhibit the access of lipases to oil droplets. In contrast, the "noncovalent" gel was more susceptible to in-vitro digestion than the "control" gel because of lower gel strength, resulting in a faster lipolysis rate. This demonstrated that intermolecular disulfide bonds and noncovalent interactions played distinctive roles in the digestion of the gels; they represented the structural backbone and the infill in the gel structure, respectively.

Abstract
The increasing occurrence of obesity and other non-communicable diseases has shifted the human diet towards reduced calorie intake. This drives the market to develop low-fat/non-fat food products with limited deterioration of textural properties. Thus, developing high-quality fat replacers which can replicate the role of fat in the food matrix is essential. Among all the established types of fat replacers, protein-based ones have shown a higher compatibility with a wide range of foods with limited contribution to the total calories, including protein isolate/concentrate, microparticles, and microgels. The approach to fabricating fat replacers varies with their types, such as thermal-mechanical treatment, anti-solvent precipitation, enzymatic hydrolysis, complexation, and emulsification. Their detailed process is summarized in the present review with a focus on the latest findings. The fat-mimic mechanisms of fat replacers have received little attention compared to the fabricating methods; attempts are also made to explain the underlying principles of fat replacers from the physicochemical prospect. Finally, a future direction on the development of desirable fat replacers in a more sustainable way was also pointed out.

Abstract
Background Due to the growing rise in obesity and food-linked diseases, the replacement of calorie-dense fat has been a key focus of food industries in the last few decades with proteins being identified as promising fat replacers (FRs). Scope and approach This review aims to provide an overview of animal and plant protein-based FR studies that have been performed in the last 5 years. Protein isolates/concentrates, their microparticulated forms and protein microgels in model and real foods have been examined. Special emphasis has been given on the characterisation techniques that have been used to compare the full fat (FF) and low fat (LF) versions of the foods using FRs. Key findings and conclusions Microparticulated whey protein (MWP) has been the preferred choice FR with some success in replacing fat in model foods and dairy applications. Plant proteins on the other hand have attracted limited research attention as FRs, but show success similar to that of animal proteins. Key characterisation techniques used to compare full fat with low fat products containing FRs have been apparent viscosity, texture profile analysis, microscopy, particle size and sensory properties with oral tribology being a relatively recent undertaking. Coupling tribology with adsorption techniques (muco-adhesion) can be effective to bridge the instrumental-sensory property gap and might accelerate the development cycle of designing low/no fat products. From a formulation viewpoint, sub-micron sized microgels that show shear-thinning behaviour and have boundary lubrication properties offer promises with respect to exploiting their fat replacement potential in the future.

Abstract
We review recent applications of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to characterize microstructural and textural properties of food materials. Based on interaction between probe and sample, AFM can image in three dimensions with nanoscale resolution especially in the vertical orientation. When the scanning probe is used as an indenter, mechanical features such as stiffness and elasticity can be analyzed. The linkage between structure and texture can thus be elucidated, providing the basis for many further future applications of AFM. Microstructure of simple systems such as polysaccharides, proteins, or lipids separately, as characterized by AFM, is discussed. Interaction of component mixtures gives rise to novel properties in complex food systems due to development of structure. AFM has been used to explore the morphological characteristics of such complexes and to investigate the effect of such characteristics on properties. Based on insights from such investigations, development of food products and manufacturing can be facilitated. Mechanical analysis is often carried out to evaluate the suitability of natural or artificial materials in food formulations. The textural properties of cellular tissues, food colloids, and biodegradable films can all be explored at nanometer scale, leading to the potential to connect texture to this fine structural level. More profound understanding of natural food materials will enable new classes of fabricated food products to be developed.

Abstract
Modifying proteins with new methods to improve their functional properties is essential to extend their application in food related field. In this study, the effect of pH-shifting treatment on structural and heat induced gel properties of peanut protein isolate (PPI) were investigated. PPI was subject to different pH conditions (pH 2, pH 4, pH 10, and pH 12) for 1 h, then adjusted back to pH 7 and they were marked as PPI2, PPI4, PPI10, and PPI12, respectively. It was found that the breaking force (BF) and water holding capacity (WHC) of PPI10 gel were significantly improved due to the decreased particle size, increased solubility, free sulfhydryl group content and surface hydrophobicity of PPI10. While PPI2 or PPI12 lost their gel ability due to the formation of large protein aggregates. These results indicated that pH-shifting treatment might be a convenient and economical method to prepare PPI with different gel and structural properties.
