Abstract
This study explored the effect of diverse coagulants (glucono-δ-lactone (GDL), gypsum (GYP), microbial transglutaminase (MTGase), and white vinegar (WVG)) on microstructure, quality, and digestion properties of tofu. The four kinds of tofu were significantly different in their structure, composition, and digestibility. Tofu coagulated with MTGase had the highest springiness and cohesiveness while GDL tofu had the highest enthalpy (6.54 J/g). However, the WVG and GYP groups outperformed others in terms of thermodynamic, and digestion properties. The WVG group exhibited the highest nitrogen release (84.3%), water content, denaturation temperature, and the highest free-SH content but the lowest S-S content. Compared to WVG, the GYP group had the highest ash content, hardness, and chewiness. Results demonstrated that the tofu prepared by WVG and GYP show high digestibility. Meanwhile, the former has better thermal properties and the latter has better texture properties.

Xia X, Yang X, Zhu Y, Sun Y, Zhu X. Effect and mechanism of freezing on the quality and structure of soymilk gel induced by different salt ions. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:5284-5295. [PMID: 38308594 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing attention toward frozen soy-based foods has sparked interest. Variations exist in the quality and structure of soymilk gels induced by different salt ions, leading to diverse changes post-freezing. This study compared and analyzed the effects of calcium chloride (CC), magnesium chloride (MC) and calcium sulfate (CS) on the quality characteristics and protein structure changes of soymilk gels (CC-S, MC-S and CS-S) before and after freezing, and clarified the mechanisms of freezing on soymilk gel. RESULTS The formation rate of soymilk gel is influenced by the type of salt ions. In comparison to CS and MC, soymilk gel induced by CC exhibited the fastest formation rate, highest gel hardness, lowest moisture content, and smaller gel pores. However, freezing treatment deteriorated the quality of soymilk gel induced by different salt ions, leading to a decline in textural properties (hardness and chewiness). Among these, the textual state of CC-induced soymilk gel remained optimal, exhibiting the least apparent damage and minimal cooking loss. Freezing treatments prompt a transition of soymilk gel secondary structure from β-turns to β-sheets, disrupting the protein's tertiary structure. Furthermore, freezing treatments also fostered the crosslinking between soymilk gel protein, increasing the content of disulfide bonds. CONCLUSION The quality of frozen soymilk gel is influenced by the rate of gel formation induced by salt ions. After freezing, soymilk gel with faster gelation rates exhibited a greater tendency for the transformation of protein-water interactions into protein-protein interactions. They showed a higher degree of disulfide bond formation, resulting in a more tightly knit and firm frozen gel network structure with denser and more uniformly distributed pores. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

[PMID: 38591333 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.17067] [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: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
The effects of different types of acid coagulants and nano fish bone (NFB) additives on the characteristics of tofu were investigated using texture analyzers, SEM, FT-IR, and other techniques. The breaking force and penetration distance, in descending order, were found in the tofu induced by glucono-d-lactone (GDL) (180.27 g and 0.75 cm), citric acid (152.90 g and 0.74 cm), lactic acid (123.33 g and 0.73 cm), and acetic acid (69.84 g and 0.58 cm), respectively. The syneresis of these tofu samples was in the reverse order (35.00, 35.66, 39.66, and 44.50%). Lightness and whiteness were not significantly different among the different samples. Regardless of the acid type, the soluble calcium content in the soybean milk was significantly increased after adding NFB. As a result, the breaking force and penetration distance of all tofu samples increased significantly, but the syneresis decreased. Compared with tofu coagulated by other acids, GDL tofu formed a more uniform and dense gel network maintained by the highest intermolecular forces (especially hydrophobic interactions). Regarding the secondary structure, the lowest percentage of α-helix (22.72%) and, correspondingly, the highest β-sheet (48.32%) and random coil (18.81%) were noticed in the GDL tofu. The effects of NFB on the tofu characteristics can be explained by the changes in the gel network, intermolecular forces, and secondary structure, which were in line with the acid type. The characteristics of acid-induced tofu can be most synergistically improved by coagulation with GDL and NFB.

Foods 2024; 13:1206.

Abstract
Currently, food allergies are closely related to intestinal health, and ensuring the integrity and health of intestinal mucosa could reduce the incidence of food allergies. In this study, a soybean-allergic mouse model was used to explore the mechanism of intestinal mucosa immune response induced by enzyme-cross-linked tofu. The effects of enzyme-cross-linked tofu on intestinal mucosal immunity in mice were determined by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and flow cytometry. Our results reveled that the MTG-cross-linked tofu reduced the reactivity of the intestinal mucosal immune system, which mainly manifested as a decrease in the dendritic cell (DC) levels of mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs), increasing the Th1 cells and Tregs in Peyer's patch (PP) nodes and MLNs, and inhibiting the Th2 cells. Compared with soy protein, enzyme-cross-linked tofu had less damage to the small intestinal tract of mice. Therefore, the above-mentioned results fully revealed that the enzyme-cross-linked tofu promoted the transformation of intestinal mucosal immune cells, shifted the Th1/Th2 balance toward Th1, and reduced its sensitization effect.

Abstract
The transglutaminase (TGase) from Streptomyces mobaraensis is widely used to improve the texture of protein-based foods. However, wild-type TGase is not heat-resistant, which is unfavorable for its application. In this study, we successfully constructed a S. mobaraensis strain that can efficiently produce TGm2, a thermostable mutant of S. mobaraensis TGase. First, S. mobaraensis DSM40587 was subjected to atmospheric room temperature plasma mutagenesis, generating mutant smY2022 with a 12.2-fold increase in TGase activity. Then, based on the double-crossover recombination, we replaced the coding sequence of the TGase with that of TGm2 in smY2022, obtaining the strain smY2022-TGm2. The extracellular TGase activity of smY2022-TGm2 reached 61.7 U/mL, 147% higher than that of smY2022. Finally, the catalytic properties of TGm2 were characterized. The half-life time at 60 °C and specific activity of TGm2 reached 64 min and 71.15 U/mg, 35.6- and 2.9-fold higher than those of the wild-type TGase, respectively. As indicated by SDS-PAGE analysis, TGm2 exhibited demonstrably better protein cross-linking ability than the wild-type TGase at 70 °C, although both enzymes shared a similar ability at 40 °C. With improved enzyme production and thermal stability, smY2022-TGm2 could be a competitive strain for the industrial production of transglutaminase.

Abstract
Packed tofu was produced by reheating the mixture of preheated soymilk and coagulant in a sealed container. This study aimed to replace the conventional heating method with RF heating during the reheating of soymilk for packed tofu production. In this study, dielectric properties (DPs), thermal properties (TPs), and rheological properties of soymilk were determined. A mathematical model was developed to simulate the RF heating process of soymilk to determine the appropriate packaging geometry. Water holding capacity (WHC), texture analysis, color measurement, and microstructure observation were performed to evaluate the quality of RF-heated packed tofu. Results showed that soymilk added with Glucono-Delta-Lactone (GDL) coagulated at the temperature above 60 °C, and the loss factor (ε″) was slightly reduced when soymilk was converted to tofu at coagulation temperature. Based on the simulation results, the cylindrical vessel (φ50 mm × 100 mm) was chosen as the soymilk container for desired heating rate (5.9 °C/min) and uniformity (λ = 0.0065, 0.0069, 0.0016 for top, middle, and bottom layers). The texture analysis revealed that the hardness and chewiness of packed tofu prepared by RF heating were enhanced (maximum 1.36 times and 1.21 times) compared with commercial packed tofu, while the springiness were not significantly changed. Furthermore, the denser network structure was observed inside RF-heated packed tofu by SEM. These results indicated that packed tofu prepared by RF heating was of higher gel strength and sensory quality. RF heating has the potential to be applied in packed tofu production.

Abstract
Streptomyces mobaraenesis transglutaminase has been widely used in food processing. We here significantly improved the catalytic properties of S2P-S23V-Y24N-S199A-K294L (TGm1), a highly stabilized variant of the transglutaminase. First, a virtual proline scan was performed based on folding free energy changes to obtain TGm1 variants with enhanced thermostability. Second, the residues within 15 Å of Cys64 in the enzyme-substrate complex of TGm1 were subjected to virtual saturation mutagenesis to generate the variants with reduced binding free energy and increased activity. After combining the favorable mutations, we obtained the variant FRAPD-TGm1-E28T-A265P-A287P (FRAPD-TGm2), exhibiting 66.9 min of half-life at 60 °C (t1/2(60 °C)), 67.8 °C of melting temperature (Tm), and 71.8 U/mg of specific activity, which are 2-fold, 2.6 °C, and 43.8% higher than those of FRAPD-TGm1, respectively. At last, to increase the surface negative net charge of FRAPD-TGm2, we introduced the mutations N96E-S144E-N163D-R183E-R208E-K325E, yielding FRAPD-TGm3. The latter's t1/2(60 °C), Tm, and specific activity were 122.9 min, 68.6 °C, and 83.7 U/mg, which are 83.8%, 0.8 °C, and 16.6% higher than the former, respectively. FRAPD-TGm3 is thus a robust candidate for transglutaminase application.

Abstract
Tofu prepared by conventional methods often has a bitter taste and poor water-holding capacity (WHC). To improve the quality of the product, alternative processes must be developed. Herein, the effect of ultrasound pretreatment on the properties of soymilk and tofu gel derived thereof were investigated. Treatment of soymilk with ultrasound gave rise to a reduction in the particle size and an enhancement in the surface hydrophobicity, whereby optimum values were obtained after 15 min treatment. Subsequently, microbial transglutaminase (MTG) was added to ultrasound-treated soymilk to promote the soy protein crosslinking. The gel strength, WHC, and nonfreezable water content of MTG-catalyzed tofu gel obtained from treated soymilk increased with the extension of the ultrasound pretreatment time, whereas the free sulfhydryl content decreased because of the formation of disulfide bonds. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated variations in the secondary structure of MTG-catalyzed tofu gel. Furthermore, soymilk's exposure to high-intensity ultrasound pretreatment led to a tofu gel with a dense, homogenous, and stable network structure, as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy. Therefore, this study answers for the theoretical support of the industrial production of MTG-catalyzed tofu gel from ultrasound-treated soymilk. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: High-intensity ultrasound pretreatment improved the texture properties of MTG-catalyzed tofu gel. The resulting MTG-catalyzed tofu gel has potential application in industrial production.

Abstract
Soybean products are limited in terms of safe consumption because of the sensitization of raw materials. In this study, the allergenicity of cross-linked tofu with microbial transglutaminase (MTG) was evaluated on the basis of a BALB/c mouse model. The mice were randomly divided into five groups. Cholera toxin was used as an adjuvant to sensitize the mice through intragastric administration, and tofu was given orally to investigate its sensitization effect on the mice. The allergy symptoms, body temperature, and weight of the mice were detected. The immunoglobulin E (IgE), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and spleen cytokines of the mice were determined through an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The regulation of the differentiation balance of the different subsets of splenic T lymphocyte (Th1, Th2) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the mice was measured through flow cytometry. Results showed that the mice administered with MTG-cross-linked tofu had fewer allergic symptoms compared with those of the control group. The concentrations of serum-specific IgE and IgG, plasma histamine, and mast cell protease 1 (mMCP-1) significantly decreased. The Th2-related cytokine levels reduced, and the IFN-γ levels increased. The proportion of Th2 cells decreased, and the proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp+ Tregs increased as the percentage of Th1 cells increased. Therefore, the sensitization of enzymatic cross-linked tofu decreased.

Abstract
Because of their protein cross-linking properties, transglutaminases are widely used in several industrial processes, including the food and pharmaceutical industries. Transglutaminases obtained from animal tissues and organs, the first sources of this enzyme, are being replaced by microbial sources, which are cheaper and easier to produce and purify. Since the discovery of microbial transglutaminase (mTGase), the enzyme has been produced for industrial applications by traditional fermentation process using the bacterium Streptomyces mobaraensis. Several studies have been carried out in this field to increase the enzyme industrial productivity. Researches on gene expression encoding transglutaminase biosynthesis were performed in Streptomyces lividans, Escherichia coli, Corynebacterium glutamicum, Yarrowia lipolytica, and Pichia pastoris. In the first part of this review, we presented an overview of the literature on the origins, types, mediated reactions, and general characterizations of these important enzymes, as well as the studies on recombinant microbial transglutaminases. In this second part, we focus on the application versatility of mTGase in three broad areas: food, pharmacological, and biotechnological industries. The use of mTGase is presented for several food groups, showing possibilities of applications and challenges to further improve the quality of the end-products. Some applications in the textile and leather industries are also reviewed, as well as special applications in the PEGylation reaction, in the production of antibody drug conjugates, and in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) has been developed as a new tofu coagulant in recent years due to its good hydrophilicity, high catalytic activity, and strong thermal stability. This study aimed to investigate the effect of MTGase on the physicochemical properties and immunoreactivity of tofu relative to conventional coagulants [brine and glucono-δ-lactone (GDL)]. Structural changes of the MTGase cross-linked soymilk protein were characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The IgE-binding capacity of MTGase cross-linked proteins was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The physicochemical properties, quality characteristics, and surface microstructures of five different types of tofu were determined by the Kjeldahl nitrogen method, texture analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The digestibility of tofu was evaluated in vitro by simulated gastrointestinal (GIS) digestion. A cell sensitization experiment was performed in vitro to evaluate the capability of tofu digestion products to induce the release of bioactive mediators from human basophil leukemia (KU812) cells. Results indicated that MTGase significantly changed the advanced structure of the soymilk protein. Compared with tofu without MTGase, the composite coagulant tofu containing MTGase exhibited better quality. MTGase improved the water-holding capacity (WHC) of the internal mesh structure and increased the yield of tofu. The digestion products of the composite coagulant tofu, especially the GDL plus MTGase tofu, induced KU812 cells to release fewer bioactive mediators compared with those of MTGase-free tofu. MTGase can not only improve the quality of conventional coagulant tofu but also reduce the potential allergenicity of tofu to a certain extent.

Abstract
To improve the quality of whole soybean curd (WSC), effects of compound coagulants consisting of calcium chloride (CaCl2) and transglutaminase (TGase) were investigated. The results showed that TGase modified the water distribution and reduced the cooking loss of WSC, accompanying with increased water holding capacity. The bloom value of WSC was upgraded as the TGase concentration increased. Although certain sensory parameters showed different scores in groups, the overall acceptability of 1500 ppm group was the highest. TPA test suggested that hardness, springiness and chewiness were promoted by TGase significantly. Smooth appearance of WSC was observed, resulting from the transformation of microstructure. Protein subunits of 7Sα', 7Sα, 7Sβ, 11SA3, 11S acidic, and 11S basic proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, band intensity of protein subunits declined at storage and cooking phase, indicating that crosslinking of proteins was still in progress. In conclusion, the addition of TGase improved the quality of CaCl2-induced WSC and could be used to facilitate the production of this new type of soybean product.

Abstract
The effects of partial enzymatic hydrolysis of soymilk on the characteristics of transglutaminase (TG)-crosslinked tofu gel were studied. SDS-PAGE showed that the molecular weight of the partially hydrolyzed soybean protein was reduced to that of a digested peptide (less than 43.0 kDa) when papain was added at more than 50 μL/100 mL soymilk. The content of free sulfhydryls, β-sheets, and random coils in papain-treated soymilk increased. When TG was added to soy milk after papain treatment and tofu gel was formed, its storage modulus increased from 957.44 to 1241.39 Pa. The gel strength, water-holding capacity, and nonfreezing water content of the tofu gel were greater than those without enzyme treatment. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that limited papain hydrolysis stimulated TG-catalyzed cross-linking of soymilk to form a dense gel network structure, whereas an extended enzymatic hydrolysis of soymilk did not promote crosslinking by TG. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This work investigated the effect of partial hydrolysis on TG cross-linked tofu gel. Partial hydrolysis of soybean protein with papain can promote TG cross-linking reaction, thus form a dense network structure, increase gel strength, and water-holding capacity. Therefore, it can be used to produce a good gel product with higher gel strength, springiness, water-holding capacity, and a more dense microstructure.

Abstract
As a traditional soybean product with good quality and a healthy food with many functional components, tofu is increasingly consumed in people's daily life. Traditional tofu processing consists of numerous steps, including the soaking and grinding of soybean seeds, heating of the soybean slurry, filtering, and addition of coagulants, and others. The properties of soybean seeds, processing scale, soaking and heating conditions, type and concentration of coagulant, and other factors collectively impact the processing steps and the final tofu quality. The generation of whole soybean tofu with more nutritive value comparing with traditional tofu has been successfully reported by several studies. As one of the most important functional component, isoflavones and their presence in tofu are also influenced by the above-mentioned factors, which influence the nutritive value of tofu. Research investigating the influence of tofu processing conditions on the quality and isoflavone profiles of tofu are the subject of this review. Issues that should be further studied to investigate the influence of processing conditions on the quality and nutritive value of tofu are also introduced.
