Ravindran N, Kumar Singh S, Singha P. A comprehensive review on the recent trends in extractions, pretreatments and modifications of plant-based proteins. Food Res Int 2024; 190:114575. [PMID: 38945599 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114575] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Plant-based proteins offer sustainable and nutritious alternatives to animal proteins with their techno-functional attributes influencing product quality and designer food development. Due to the inherent complexities of plant proteins, proper extraction and modifications are vital for their effective utilization. This review highlights the emerging sources of plant-based proteins, and the recent statistics of the techniques employed for pretreatment, extraction, and modifications. The pretreatment, extraction and modification approach to modify plant proteins have been classified, addressed, and the recent applications of such methodologies are duly indicated. Furthermore, this study furnishes novel perspectives regarding the potential impacts of emerging technologies on the intricate dynamics of plant proteins. A thorough review of 100 articles (2018-2024) shows the researchers' keen interest in investigating novel plant proteins and how they can be used; seeds being the main source for protein extraction, followed by legumes. Use of by-products as a protein source is increasing rapidly, which is noteworthy. Protein studies still lack knowledge on protein fraction, antinutrients, and pretreatments. The use of physical methods and their combination with other techniques are increasing for effective and environmentally friendly extraction and modification of plant proteins. Several studies explore the effect of protein changes on their function and nutrition, especially with a goal of replacing ingredients with plant proteins that have improved or enhanced qualities. However, the next step is to investigate the sophisticated modification methods for deeper insights into food safety and toxicity.

[PMID: 38924918 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140157] [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: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
In response to the increasing demand for nutritionally rich foods, consumer preference for protein-enriched beverages has grown. However, heat-induced protein aggregation and gelation significantly hinders the production of high-protein drinks. In this study, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions with exceptional thermal stability were formulated using modified soy protein particles (MSPs). These MSPs effectively resisted gel formation, even at a protein concentration of up to 20% (w/v). In contrast, emulsions prepared with untreated soy proteins (SPs) experienced pronounced gelation under identical conditions. The compact structure of MSPs, in comparison to SPs, imparted resistance to heat-induced denaturation and aggregation. Additionally, the emulsion displayed heightened heat processing insensitivity, due to the enhanced hydrophobicity of MSPs and their rapid adsorption at the oil-water interface, resulting in a denser, more elastic, and resilient interfacial film. These findings provide practical insights for the formulation of protein-rich milk alternatives, meeting the evolving market demands.

Food Chem 2024; 442:138447. [PMID: 38244439 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138447] [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: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
A pH shift treatment aided by high pressure homogenization (HPH) with various pressures (0-120 MPa) was employed to structurally modify hempseed protein isolate (HPI). Compared with individual pH shift or HPH treatment, HPH-assisted pH shift improved the structural flexibility of HPI, as revealed by the increased random coil in protein secondary structure. With the incorporation of HPH into pH shift, the intrinsic fluorescence intensity was remarkably attenuated and redshifted, whereas the surface hydrophobicity was pronouncedly boosted, indicating the extensive unfolding of protein structure. Moreover, the cotreated HPI exhibited a smaller and more homogenous particle size, notably at a higher pressure. Consequently, the solubility was drastically raised by the cooperated treatments, to the maximum value (62.8 %) at 120 MPa. These physicochemical changes in the cotreated HPI facilitated a consolidated interfacial activity. Moreover, the cooperated treatment, especially highly pressured (120 MPa), facilitated the penetration and rearrangement of proteins at the oil-water interface.

Molecular modification of low-dissolution soy protein isolates by anionic xanthan gum, neutral guar gum, or neutral konjac glucomannan to improve the protein dissolution and stabilize fish oil emulsion. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 267:131521. [PMID: 38608976 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131521] [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: 08/19/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Herein, the effects of anionic xanthan gum (XG), neutral guar gum (GG), and neutral konjac glucomannan (KGM) on the dissolution, physicochemical properties, and emulsion stabilization ability of soy protein isolate (SPI)-polysaccharide conjugates were studied. The SPI-polysaccharide conjugates had better water dissolution than the insoluble SPI. Compared with SPI, SPI-polysaccharide conjugates had lower β-sheet (39.6 %-56.4 % vs. 47.3 %) and α-helix (13.0 %-13.2 % vs. 22.6 %) percentages, and higher β-turn (23.8 %-26.5 % vs. 11.0 %) percentages. The creaming stability of SPI-polysaccharide conjugate-stabilized fish oil-loaded emulsions mainly depended on polysaccharide type: SPI-XG (Creaming index: 0) > SPI-GG (Creaming index: 8.1 %-21.2 %) > SPI-KGM (18.1 %-40.4 %). In addition, it also depended on the SPI preparation concentrations, glycation times, and glycation pH. The modification by anionic XG induced no obvious emulsion creaming even after 14-day storage, which suggested that anionic polysaccharide might be the best polysaccharide to modify SPI for emulsion stabilization. This work provided useful information to modify insoluble proteins by polysaccharides for potential application.

Abstract
Nitrogen fertilizer can affect the seed quality of mung bean. However, the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on the properties of mung bean protein (MBP) remain unclear. We investigated the effects of four nitrogen fertilization levels on the physicochemical, structural, functional, thermal, and rheological properties of MBP. The results showed that the amino acid and protein contents of mung bean flour were maximized under 90 kg ha-1 of applied nitrogen treatment. Nitrogen fertilization can alter the secondary and tertiary structure of MBP. The main manifestations are an increase in the proportion of β-sheet, the exposure of more chromophores and hydrophobic groups, and the formation of loose porous aggregates. These changes improved the solubility, oil absorption capacity, emulsion activity, and foaming stability of MBP. Meanwhile, Thermodynamic and rheological analyses showed that the thermal stability, apparent viscosity, and gel elasticity of MBP were all increased under nitrogen fertilizer treatment. Correlation analysis showed that protein properties are closely related to changes in structure. In conclusion, nitrogen fertilization can improve the protein properties of MBP by modulating the structure of protein molecules. This study provides a theoretical basis for the optimization of mung bean cultivation and the further development of high-quality mung bean protein foods.

Abstract
Three modifications (pH shift, ultrasound, combined pH shift and ultrasound) induced alterations in pure whey protein isolate (WPI), pea protein isolate (PPI), and mixed whey and pea protein (WPI-PPI) were investigated. The processing effect was related to the protein type and technique used. Solubility of WPI remained unchanged by various treatments. Particle size was enlarged by pH shift while reduced by ultrasound and combined approach. All methods exposed more surface hydrophobic groups on WPI, while pH shift and joint processing was detrimental to its emulsifying activity. The PPI and mixture exhibited similar responses toward the modifications. Solubility of PPI and the blend enhanced in the sequence of pH shift and ultrasound > ultrasound > pH shift. Individual approach expanded while co-handling diminished the particle diameter. Treatments also caused more disclosure of hydrophobic regions in PPI and WPI-PPI and emulsifying activity was ameliorated in the order of pH shift and ultrasound > ultrasound > pH shift.

Abstract
Arabinoxylan (AX) can form stable covalent bonds with protein to improve gel properties. We aimed to prepare a conjugate between soymilk protein (SMP) and AX by peroxidase, followed by the addition of transglutaminase (TG) to prepare tofu gels. The conjugate's properties and their effects on the mechanical properties, rheological properties, and microstructure of tofu gels were evaluated. Results revealed that the α-helix content decreased, the β-sheet content increased, and the surface hydrophobicity reduced from 1.60 × 105 to 1.27 × 105. The optimal amount of AX required to improve the properties of tofu gel was 1.0%. The tofu gel showed better hardness (118.44 g), water holding capacity (WHC) (86.17%), and higher storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G″). Low-Field NMR (LF-NMR) showed that the water was evenly distributed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a denser and more regular three-dimensional gel network.

Abstract
In this study, extrusion was used to induce Maillard reaction between soy protein isolate (SPI) and oat β-glucan (OG) and effect of extrusion temperature (70, 90, 110 and 130 °C) on the structure and emulsifying properties of extruded SPI-OG was investigated. SDS-PAGE and fluorescence spectroscopy provided evidence for the formation of SPI-OG conjugates during extrusion. The results showed that 90 °C and 110 °C extruded SPI-OG had the highest level of degree of glycosylation (were 14.34% and 13.70%, respectively, p > 0.05). Structural analysis found that α-helix content of extruded SPI-OG decreased by 8.93-13.14% compared to mixture of SPI and OG. Meanwhile, extruded SPI-OG had lower protein solubility (29.83-34.38%) and surface hydrophobicity (1549-2027), larger average particle size (2363-4807 nm) and higher emulsion stability (74.33-90.15%). Therefore, these findings may provide a theoretical basis for the development of novel food emulsion stabilizers.

Abstract
Myofibrillar protein (MP) aggregate models have been established to elucidate the correlation between their aggregate sizes and interfacial properties. The interfacial layer thickness was measured by the polystyrene latex method and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation measurement. Interfacial conformations were then characterized in situ (front-surface fluorescence spectroscopy) and ex situ (reactive sulfhydryl group and secondary structure measurement following MP displacement). The viscoelasticity of the interfacial film and its resistance to surfactant-induced competitive displacement were reflected by the dilatational rheology and dynamic interfacial tension with the bulk phase exchange. Finally, we compared the findings of competitive displacement before/after adding a sulfhydryl-blocking agent, N-ethylmaleimide, to highlight the role of S-S linkage on interfacial film formation and stability. We substantiated that the aggregate size of the MP governed their interfacial properties. Small-sized aggregates exhibited more ordered secondary structures on the oil-water interface, which was conducive to the adsorption ratio of the protein and the adsorption dynamics. Although larger aggregates lowered the diffusion rate during interfacial film formation, they allowed the thicker and more viscoelastic interfacial film to be constructed afterward through more disulfide bond formation, resulting in greater resistance to surfactant-induced competitive displacement.

Abstract
Hydrophobic polyphenols, with a variety of physiological activities, are often practically limited due to their low water solubility and chemical instability, among which curcumin (Cur) is a representative hydrophobic polyphenol. To improve Cur, the cod protein (CP)-Cur composite particles (CP-Cur) were successfully prepared using the pH-shift method, but this pH-shift method (7-12-7) required a higher pH, which limited application and increased cost. The critical pH of CP structure unfolding during pH-shift and its encapsulation effect on Cur were investigated in this paper. During the pH-shift process, the critical pH of the structural unfolding of CP was pH 10, and the degree of protein structure unfolding was higher, which was attributed to the increasing electrostatic repulsion, and the weakened hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction. The encapsulation efficiency of CP-Cur formed after pH 10-shift was higher than that formed after pH 9.8-shift, which increased by 22.17 %. At pH 9.8, the binding sites in CP reached saturation at the molar ratio of 10, while at pH 10 and 10.2, the binding sites in CP both reached saturation at the molar ratio of 14, also indicating that the protein treated with critical pH could bind more Cur. The binding between Cur and CP was mostly hydrophobic interaction, accompanied by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. The above results verified the necessity of critical pH in the experiment, indicating that critical pH could indeed improve the encapsulation effect and obtain a higher encapsulation efficiency. This work will help improve the large-scale application of hydrophobic functional substances in production.

Abstract
The need for protein is increasing due to the rapid growth of the global population. However, conventional animal meat production has caused severe environmental, land usage, and other issues. Meat substitutes can provide consumers with a high-quality alternative to protein. Texturized protein (TP) is a critical ingredient in meat substitutes and is mainly obtained through extrusion processing. Therefore, this review first discussed the essential physical properties of TP, including appearance and structure, water-holding capacity (WHC) and oil-holding capacity (OHC), texture, and sensory properties. The performance of plant and novel source proteins in extrusion processing is also summarized. The properties of the desired TP should be considered first before extrusion processing. Under different extrusion parameters, proteins from the same source can exhibit varying properties. Although the novel source proteins can adversely affect TP quality, their high yield and environmental protection are worthy of further study. This paper aims to review the impact of proteins from different sources on the properties of TP during the extrusion process and discuss practical research methods for TP.

Abstract
High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is extensively utilized in the field of food processing due to its remarkable ability to preserve the freshness of food. The potential antigenicity of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) in whey protein isolate (WPI, 3%) treated by HHP was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using monoclonal antibodies. Furthermore, the impact of pressure-induced structural alterations on the emulsification properties and antioxidant activity of WPI was investigated. The findings revealed that pressures exceeding 300 MPa resulted in molecular aggregation, the formation of inter-molecular disulfide bonds, and an increase in surface hydrophobicity (H0). The percentage of β-sheet decreased along with the pressure. The results showed the increment of α-helix and β-turn with pressure. ELISA demonstrated a significant reduction in the antigenicity of β-LG following HHP treatment (100-600 MPa), with a slight recovery observed at 300 MPa. These spatial structural modifications led to the unfolding of the β-LG molecule, thereby enhancing its digestibility. Moreover, HHP treatment substantially improved the antioxidant properties, with the exposure to hydrophobic amino acids contributing to increased antioxidant properties and emulsion stability.

[PMID: 37835362 PMCID: PMC10572237 DOI: 10.3390/foods12193709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Walnut protein is a high-quality vegetable protein with promising applications in the food industry; however, its potential is hindered by low solubility and associated properties. We utilized various physical modification techniques (cold plasma; ball milling; superfine grinding; ultrasound; wet ball milling; and high-pressure microjet) to enhance walnut proteins' physicochemical and functional properties. The changes in particle size, microstructure, surface hydrophobicity, fluorescence, solubility, foaming, and emulsification were investigated. Cold plasma and ultrasound treatments minimally affected particle size and morphology. Cold plasma increased the particle size D4,3 from 145.20 μm to 152.50 μm. Ultrasonication reduced the particle size D4,3 to 138.00 μm. The variation was within ±10 μm, while the particle size of walnut protein significantly decreased after the other four modification treatments. The greatest variation in particle size was in the superfine grinding, with the D4,3 being reduced to 23.80 μm. Ultrasound treatment converted the β-sheet into an α-helix, while the other methods transformed the α-helix into a β-sheet. The dispersion stability notably improved after wet ball milling and high-pressure microjet treatments, which was accompanied by a significant increase in solubility from 6.9% (control) to 13.6% (wet ball milling) and 31.7% (high-pressure microjet). The foaming and emulsification properties were also enhanced through these modifications (foaming improved from 47% to 55.33% and emulsification improved from 4.32 m2/g to 8.27 m2/g). High-pressure microjet treatment proved most effective at improving solubility in the functional properties of walnut protein. These findings are expected to help broaden the potential utilization of walnut protein in the food industry, including in beverages and emulsions.

Abstract
Common oilseeds, such as soybean, peanut, rapeseed, sunflower seed, sesame seed and chia seed, are key sources of edible vegetable oils. Their defatted meals are excellent natural sources of plant proteins that can meet consumers' demand for health and sustainable substitutes for animal proteins. Oilseed proteins and their derived peptides are also associated with many health benefits, including weight loss and reduced risks of diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular events. This review summarizes the current status of knowledge on the protein and amino acid composition of common oilseeds as well as the functional properties, nutrition, health benefits and food applications of oilseed protein. Currently, oilseeds are widely applied in the food industry regarding for their health benefits and good functional properties. However, most oilseed proteins are incomplete proteins and their functional properties are not promising compared to animal proteins. They are also limited in the food industry due to their off-flavor, allergenic and antinutritional factors. These properties can be improved by protein modification. Therefore, in order to make better use of oilseed proteins, methods for improving their nutrition value, bioactive activity, functional and sensory characteristics, as well as the strategies for reducing their allergenicity were also discussed in this paper. Finally, examples for the application of oilseed proteins in the food industry are presented. Limitations and future perspectives for developing oilseed proteins as food ingredients are also pointed out. This review aims to foster thinking and generate novel ideas for future research. It will also provide novel ideas and broad prospects for the application of oilseeds in the food industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soybean meal, a by-product of the soybean oil production industry, has a high protein content but the compact globular structure of the protein from soybean meal limits its wide application in food processing. Allicin has been found to have numerous functional properties. In this study, allicin was interacted with soy protein isolate (SPI). The functional properties of the adducts were investigated. RESULTS Binding with allicin significantly quenched the fluorescence intensity of SPI. Static quenching was the main quenching mechanism. The stability of adducts decreased with increasing temperature. The greatest extent of binding between allicin and sulfhydryl groups (SH) of SPI was obtained at an allicin/SH molar ratio of 1:2. The amino groups of SPI did not bind with allicin covalently. Soy protein isolate was modified by allicin through covalent and non-covalent interactions. Compared with SPI, the emulsifying activity index and foaming capacity of adducts with a ratio of 3:1 were improved by 39.91% and 64.29%, respectively. Soy protein isolate-allicin adducts also exhibited obvious antibacterial effects. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of SPI-allicin adducts on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were 200 and 160 μg mL-1 , respectively. CONCLUSION The interaction of allicin with SPI is beneficial for the functional properties of SPI. These adducts can be used in different food formulations as emulsifiers, foamers, and transport carriers. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Understanding molecular mechanisms during protein modification is critical for expanding the application of plant proteins. This study investigated the conformational change and molecular mechanism of pea protein isolate (PPI) under pulsed electric field (PEF)-assisted (-)-Epigallocatechin-Gallate (EGCG) modification. The flexibility of PPI was significantly enhanced after PEF treatment (10 kV/cm) with decrease (23.25 %) in α-helix and increase (117.25 %) in random coil. The binding constant and sites of PEF-treated PPI with EGCG were increased by 2.35 times and 10.00 % (308 K), respectively. Molecular docking verified that PEF-treated PPI had more binding sites with EGCG (from 4 to 10). The number of amino acid residues involved in hydrophobic interactions in PEF-treated PPI-EGCG increased from 5 to 13. PEF-treated PPI-EGCG showed a significantly increased antioxidant activity compared to non-PEF-treated group. This work revealed the molecular level of PEF-assisted EGCG modification of PPI, which will be significant for the application of PPI in food industry.

Abstract
In this study, soy protein isolate (SPI) was modified by a pulsed electric field (PEF) combined with pH shifting treatment (10 kV/cm, pH 11) to prepare SPI nanoparticles (PSPI11) for efficient loading of lutein. The results showed that when the mass ratio of SPI to lutein was 25:1, the encapsulation efficiency of lutein in PSPI11 increased from 54% to 77%, and the loading capacity increased by 41% compared to the original SPI. The formed SPI-lutein composite nanoparticles (PSPI11-LUTNPs) had smaller, more homogeneous sizes and larger negative charges than SPI7-LUTNPs. The combined treatment favored the unfolding of the SPI structure and could expose its interior hydrophobic groups to bind with lutein. Nanocomplexation with SPIs significantly improved the solubility and stability of lutein, with PSPI11 showing the greatest improvement. As a result, PEF combined with pH shifting pretreatment is an effective method for developing SPI nanoparticles loaded and protected with lutein.

[PMID: 36900624 PMCID: PMC10000779 DOI: 10.3390/foods12051108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The impacts of industrial phosphorylation on the structural changes, microstructure, functional, and rheological features of soybean protein isolate (SPI) were spotlighted. The findings implied that the spatial structure and functional features of the SPI changed significantly after treatment with the two phosphates. Sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) promoted aggregation of SPI with a larger particle size; sodium tripolyphosphate (STP) modified SPI with smaller particle size. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) results showed insignificant alterations in the structure of SPI subunits. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and endogenous fluorescence noted a decline in α-helix quantity, an amplification in β-fold quantity, and an increase in protein stretching and disorder, indicating that phosphorylation treatment fluctuated the spatial structure of the SPI. Functional characterization studies showed that the solubility and emulsion properties of the SPI increased to varying degrees after phosphorylation, with a maximum solubility of 94.64% for SHMP-SPI and 97.09% for STP-SPI. Emulsifying activity index (EAI) and emulsifying steadiness index (ESI) results for STP-SPI were better than those for SHMP-SPI. Rheological results showed that the modulus of G' and G″ increased and the emulsion exhibited significant elastic behavior. This affords a theoretical core for expanding the industrial production applications of soybean isolates in the food and various industries.

Abstract
In this study, the functional properties of ovalbumin (OVA) were improved through dual modification with succinylation (succinylation degrees of 32.1 % [S1], 74.2 % [S2], and 95.2 % [S3]) and ultrasonication (ultrasonication durations of 5 min [U1], 15 min [U2], and 25 min [U3]), and the changes in protein structures were explored. Results showed that as the succinylation degree was increased, the particle size and surface hydrophobicity of S-OVA decreased by the maximum values of 2.2 and 2.4 times, respectively, causing emulsibility and emulsifying stability to increase by 2.7 and 7.3 times, respectively. After ultrasonic treatment, the particle size of succinylated-ultrasonicated OVA (SU-OVA) had decreased by 3.0-5.1 times relative to that of S-OVA. Moreover, the net negative charge of S3U3-OVA had increased to the maximum value of - 35.6 mV. These changes contributed to the further enhancement in functional indicators. The unfolding of the protein structure and the conformational flexibility of SU-OVA were illustrated and compared with those of S-OVA via protein electrophoresis, circular dichroism spectroscopy, intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The dually modified OVA emulsion (S3U3-E) presented small droplets (243.33 nm), reduced viscosity, and weakened gelation behavior that were indicative of even distribution, which was visually proven by confocal laser scanning microscopy images. Furthermore, S3U3-E exhibited favorable stability, a particle size that was almost unchanged, and a low polydispersity index (<0.1) over 21 days of storage at 4 °C. The above results demonstrated that succinylation combined with ultrasonic treatment could be an effective dual modification method for enhancing the functional performance of OVA.

Abstract
In this work, the influence of soy protein isolated at different pH values (1-9) on the self-assembly behaviors of bacterial cellulose nanofibers/soy protein isolate (BCNs/SPI) colloidal particles via anti-solvent precipitation were investigated. The results showed that the formation of BCNs/SPI at pH values of 1-5 was mainly driven by electrostatic interaction, while the formation of those at pH values of 5-9 was driven by weak molecular interactions including hydrogen bonding and steric-hindrance effect. The FTIR demonstrated that the conformation of protein involved a transition from order to disorder at the level of secondary structure as pH values were away from the isoelectric point. The fluorescence spectroscopy and UV-vis adsorption spectroscopy indicated that hydrophobic region of SPI at pH value of 5 displayed more exposed as compared with that at pH values away from the isoelectric point. The changes in structure conformation of SPI induced by pH values led to the changes in properties of the BCNs/SPI colloidal particles including particle size, microstructure, crystallinity, hydrophily, thermal stability, and rheological properties. Furthermore, the structures of BCNs/SPI colloidal particles at different pH values significantly affected the stability of Pickering emulsion gels stabilized by the corresponding complex colloidal particles. This study provided a theoretical basis for the design of food-grade Pickering emulsion gels stabilized by BCNs/SPI complex colloidal particles.

Physicochemical, structural, functional and flavor adsorption properties of white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) proteins as affected by processing methods. Food Res Int 2023; 163:112296.

Abstract
Proteins contribute to the flavor release and texture of foods besides their nutritional attributes. However, processing affects the protein structural conformation and, thus, their functional properties. White shrimp proteins (WSP) are well known for their nutritional and functional properties and limited attention has been paid to the flavor adsorption properties of WSP. This study investigated the effects of processing methods such as microwave drying, hot air drying, roasting, and boiling on the structural (secondary and tertiary) changes and physicochemical, functional, and flavor adsorption properties of white shrimp proteins (WSP). Structural changes of WSPs were evaluated by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and sulfhydryl bond content. Results revealed that the processing triggered structural changes that affected the functional properties of WSP. The highest surface hydrophobicity (H0) of WSP in boiling (58.27 ± 1.68) and microwave drying (39.83 ± 0.83) caused increased emulsifying properties and decreased water solubility. The increased content of α-helix and random coils leads to cross-linking and protein aggregation in hot air drying (21.62 ± 0.37 %) and roasting (24.30 ± 0.24 %), which leads to low H0 and high foaming properties. Processing has increased the flavor adsorption ability of WSP. Among all the processing methods, boiling has shown the highest flavor adsorption potential, followed by microwave drying. The findings broaden the scope of techno-functional properties of WSP in the food industry by thermal treatment modification.

Abstract
The effects of the preparation method (mixing, chemical polymerization, or ultrasound treatment) on the structure and functional properties of soy protein isolate-(-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (SPI-EGCG) complexes were examined. The mixing treated SPI-EGCG samples (M-SE) were non-covalently linked, while the chemical polymerization and ultrasound treated SPI-EGCG samples (C-SE and U-SE, respectively) were bound covalently. The covalent binding of EGCG with protein improved the molecular weight and changed the structures of the SPI by decreasing the α-helix content. Moreover, U-SE samples had the lowest particle size (188.70 ± 33.40 nm), the highest zeta potential (-27.82 ± 0.53 mV), and the highest polyphenol binding rate (59.84 ± 2.34 %) compared with mixing and chemical polymerization-treated samples. Furthermore, adding EGCG enhanced the antioxidant activity of SPI and U-SE revealed the highest DPPH (84.84 ± 1.34 %) and ABTS (88.89 ± 1.23 %) values. In conclusion, the SPI-EGCG complexes prepared by ultrasound formed a more stable composite system with stronger antioxidant capacity, indicating that ultrasound technology may have potential applications in the preparation of protein-polyphenol complexes.

Abstract
Along with the future food market developing world widely, the personalized nutrition and rational function food design are found to be urgently attracted. Oil in a water (O/W) emulsion system has an excellent ability to maintain nutraceuticals and thus plays a promising role in producing future functional foods. Understanding the interfacial related mechanisms involved are essential for improving the quality of food products. Protein can effectively reduce interfacial tension and stable immiscible phases. The interfacial properties of proteins directly affect the emulsion qualities, which have gradually become a prospective topic. This review will first briefly discuss the interfacial-related fundamental factors of proteins. Next, the paper thoroughly overviewed current physical and chemical strategies tailored to improving the interfacial and emulsion properties of proteins. To be summarized, a higher flexibility could allow protein to be more easily unfolded and adsorbed onto the interface but could also possibly form a softer interfacial film. Several physical strategies, such as thermal, ultrasound and especially high-pressure homogenization are well applied to improve the interfacial properties. The interfacial behavior is also altered by various green chemical strategies, such as pH adjustment, covalent modification, and low molecular weight (LMW) surfactant addition. These strategies upgraded emulsion properties by increasing adsorption load, accelerating diffusion and adsorption rate, associated with lowering interfacial tension, and promoting interfacial protein interactions. Future researches targeted at elucidating interfacial-bulk protein interactions, unraveling interfacial behavior through in silico tools, exploring connection between interfacial-industrial processing properties, and clarifying the interfacial-sensory-digestive relationships of O/W emulsions is needed to develop emulsion applications.

Abstract
The present study aimed to assess the effects of heat treatment (70-90 °C) and pH (pH 3-11) on the physicochemical, structural, and emulsifying properties of coconut globulins (CG). The results revealed that the emulsifying property was improved with increasing temperature due to the denaturation degree of CG. CG had a better emulsifying property at pH 3 but showed the worst emulsifying property at pH 5 due to its lowest solubility, surface hydrophobicity, and absolute value of zeta potential. The best emulsifying stability was detected at pH 11 with 90 °C heating. SDS-PAGE indicated that the formation of aggregates cross-linked by covalent bonds was the main reason for the better emulsion stability at pH 3 and pH 11 with 90 °C heating. The secondary structure showed that CG had more α-helix and β-turn contents as well as fewer β-sheet contents at pH 3 and pH 11 with 90 °C heating.

Abstract
The mechanism of the high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) effect on horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is still unclear. The activity, thermal stability and structural changes of HRP after HHP treatments were studied in this work. Compared with the untreated sample, the enzyme activity reduces by 36% after 800 MPa processing. The results indicated that the conformation of the enzyme active center changes under pressure. Furthermore, HHP also changes the conformation of disulfide bonds and some secondary structures in HRP. These structural and conformational changes induce decreased activity. In addition, differential thermal scanning (DSC) results showed that the thermal denaturation temperature decreased from 103.74 °C to 85.78 °C after pressure treatment, suggesting HRP molecules formed large aggregates after pressure treatment. In this study, the interaction mechanism between pressure and enzyme was studied as well, and the results can provide some guidance for the application of HHP technology in fruit and vegetable products processing.

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.

[PMID: 35397270 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.132886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 03/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
The inevitably generated chicken exudate was usually unconsciously discarded, leading to protein waste and environmental pollution. The study is performed to reveal the loss and constitute of different sourced exudate (purge exudate/defrozen exudate, PE/DE), investigate the efficiency of various pH-shifting strategies (Method I: NaOH-HCl, Method II: Ca(OH)2-Critric acid, and Method III: Ca(OH)2-Glucono δ-lactone) in recovering selected exudate, and evaluate the functionality of these recovered protein isolates. Accordingly, PE and DE shared greatly similar (P > 0.05) lipid and ash content. Despite sarcoplasmic protein, there are a small amount of functional myofibrillar protein in the exudate samples. During extraction, Method III had higher recovery yield (85.5%) than other two groups, but the isolates contained higher level of moisture. The protein isolates treated with Method II exhibited highest emulsion ability, while the Method III treated group obtained best gelation properties. Overall, pH-shifting could recover functional protein from chicken exudate for industrial application.

Abstract
Protein modification is a practical strategy to enhance the functional characteristics of proteins and broaden their commercial applications. Various chemical (e.g., pH-shifting, deamidation, succinylation), physical (e.g., sonication, high-speed shearing), or biological (e.g., microbial transglutaminase cross-linking, enzymatic hydrolysis) modification methods have frequently been employed to improve the functionality of native grain proteins. However, progress in intensification has led to the emergence of advanced methodologies, which involve the combination of modification techniques, generally known as "Dual Modification". This paper aims to comprehensively review the most recent researches focusing on the effects of dual modification on the functionality of grain proteins. Particular emphasis is given to elucidate the impact of this technique on physicochemical and structural properties. Furthermore, existing challenges and limitations associated with the utilization of this approach are highlighted, and prospects are proposed.

Abstract
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), protein demand is expected to increase globally by around 40% by 2030 as a response to the world's population growth. Due to their clean label, vegan or vegetarian based applications, nutritional value, and cost-efficient properties, plant-based proteins have been widely studied. However, most of the alternatives currently found in the market have some challenges because of their poor solubility, emulsifying, gelling, and foaming attributes. Hemp seed protein has gained increasing attention due to its unique amino acids and fatty acids profiles. In this study, commercial HPC mixtures were adjusted to pH 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 followed by ultrasonication (US) for 5 min (5 s on: 5 s off) and incubated for an hour before neutralizing to pH 7. Following the treatments, the samples were analyzed for their hydrodynamic diameter, conductivity, zeta potential, polydispersity index, surface hydrophobicity, solubility, electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), free sulfhydryl group, and optical characteristics. The samples treated with ultrasound at pH 8 and 10 significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced the solubility of the hemp seed protein by 12.12% and 19.05%, respectively. Similarly, the samples treated with ultrasonication and pH shifting at pH 6, 8, and 10 also significantly increased the amount of free sulfhydryl content (p < 0.05) to 41.6, 58.72, and 46.54 mmol/g from 32.8 mmol/g, respectively. This study shows that the application of ultrasonication and pH shifting is a promising alternative method to modify the functional properties of HPC and widen their applications in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Consumers today are increasingly willing to reduce their meat consumption and adopt plant-based alternatives in their diet. As a main source of plant-based foods, cereals and legumes (CLs) together could make up for all the essential nutrients that humans consume daily. However, the consumption of CLs and their derivatives is facing many challenges, such as the poor palatability of coarse grains and vegetarian meat, the presence of anti-nutritional factors, and allergenic proteins in CLs, and the vulnerability of plant-based foods to microbial contamination. Recently, high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) technology has been used to tailor the techno-functionality of plant proteins and induce cold gelatinization of starch in CLs to improve the edible quality of plant-based products. The nutritional value (e.g., the bioavailability of vitamins and minerals, reduction of anti-nutritional factors of legume proteins) and bio-functional properties (e.g., production of bioactive peptides, increasing the content of γ-aminobutyric acid) of CLs were significantly improved as affected by HHP. Moreover, the food safety of plant-based products could be significantly improved as well. HHP lowered the risk of microbial contamination through the inactivation of numerous microorganisms, spores, and enzymes in CLs and alleviated the allergy symptoms from consumption of plant-based foods.
