Food Chem 2024; 450:138984. [PMID: 38642532 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138984] [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: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
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.

Abstract
Plant-based milk (PBM) alternatives are gaining popularity worldwide as the change of consumers' nutritional habits and health attitudes. Mung beans, recognized for their nutritional value, have gained attention as potential ingredients for PBM. Nevertheless, mung bean-based milk (MBM) faces instability issues common to other plant-based milks. This study investigated the factors influencing MBM stability focusing on raw materials. We selected 6 out of 20 varieties based on their MBM centrifugation sedimentation rates, representing both stable and unstable MBM. Stable MBM exhibited distinct advantages, including reduced separation rate, smaller particle size, lower viscosity, fewer protein aggregates, higher soluble protein content, and increased consumer acceptance. Major nutritional components such as protein, starch, and lipids were not significant different between stable and unstable MBM varieties. The pivotal distinction may lay in the protein properties and composition. Stable MBM varieties exhibited significantly improved protein solubility and emulsion stability, along with elevated concentrations of legume-like acidic subunits, basic 7S proteins, and 28 kDa and 26 kDa vicilin-like subunits. The increasement of these proteins likely contributed to the improvement in protein characteristics that affect MBM stability. These findings offer valuable insights for raw material selection and guidance for future mung bean breeding to enhance mung bean milk production.

Abstract
Europe imports large amounts of soybean that are predominantly used for livestock feed, mainly sourced from Brazil, USA and Argentina. In addition, the demand for GM-free soybean for human consumption is project to increase. Soybean has higher protein quality and digestibility than other legumes, along with high concentrations of isoflavones, phytosterols and minerals that enhance the nutritional value as a human food ingredient. Here, we examine the potential to increase soybean production across Europe for livestock feed and direct human consumption, and review possible effects on the environment and human health. Simulations and field data indicate rainfed soybean yields of 3.1 ± 1.2 t ha-1 from southern UK through to southern Europe (compared to a 3.5 t ha-1 average from North America). Drought-prone southern regions and cooler northern regions require breeding to incorporate stress-tolerance traits. Literature synthesized in this work evidenced soybean properties important to human nutrition, health, and traits related to food processing compared to alternative protein sources. While acknowledging the uncertainties inherent in any modelling exercise, our findings suggest that further integrating soybean into European agriculture could reduce GHG emissions by 37-291 Mt CO2e year-1 and fertiliser N use by 0.6-1.2 Mt year-1, concurrently improving human health and nutrition.

Abstract
To explore the association between the optimal coagulant for tofu and the components of soybeans,30 different kinds of soybeans were selected, and tested for their optimal coagulant MgCl2 content. The optimal amount of coagulant was taken as the dependent variable, and the soybean Composition were taken as independent variables for the correlation analysis. The results showed that there was a positive correlation between the optimal coagulant content and the content of histidine, 7S β-conglycinin, B1aB1bB2B3B4 of 11 s glycincin, and α'-subunit of 7S β-conglycinin, negative correlation with lysine. The regression formula is y = -1.186 + 3.457*B1aB1bB2B3B4 + 2.304*7S + 0.351*histidine - 0.084*lysine + 4.696*α', and the model is validated to be within 10 % of the error value and has a high degree of confidence. This study provides theoretical support for realizing the green production of traditional soybean products.

Abstract
Understanding quantitative relationships between protein and other chemical components in diverse soybean genotypes (lines) grown in different locations and the firmness of tofu can provide scientific insight for selecting soybean suitable for tofu making. Locations showed significant effects on seed components, including total protein, major storage proteins, subunits and polypeptides of the major storage proteins, and calcium, but not magnesium or phytic acid. Results showed that 11S content, but not 11S/7S ratio, was only correlated with filled tofu firmness when analyzed over all locations. A strong and positive correlation between firmness and A3 polypeptide of the 11S protein content was found for both pressed tofu (r = 0.80, p < 0.001) and filled tofu (r = 0.76, p < 0.001) over three locations (overall pooled data) and within most individual locations. The correlation of filled tofu firmness and A3 polypeptide was significant for each of the three individual locations. However, the correlation of pressed tofu firmness and A3 polypeptide content was significant at two of three locations. Mean calcium content was positively correlated with mean pressed and filled tofu firmness over all locations, but calcium was not correlated with pressed tofu firmness at any individual location, and only one location showed a significant correlation of calcium and filled tofu firmness. In addition, pressed tofu firmness was found to be negatively correlated with tofu yield. The findings that A3 polypeptide's strong relationship with tofu firmness within certain locations may be used by the food industry to select proper soybean for manufacturing tofu and to facilitate tofu soybean breeding for tofu making.

Abstract
The physicochemical traits of highland barley prominently affect the quality of Tsampa. To find out the relevance between the physicochemical properties of raw material and the texture parameters of processed products, twenty-five physicochemical traits and ten quality parameters for seventy-six varieties of highland barley were measured and analyzed. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the physicochemical indexes for highland barleys of various colors. The dark highland barley generally has more fat, protein, total dietary fiber, phenolic, Mg, K, Ca, and Zn and less amylose, Fe, Cu, and Mo than light colored barley. Then, these highland barleys were made into Tsampa. A comprehensive quality evaluation model based on the color and texture parameters of Tsampa was established through principal component analysis. Then, cluster analysis was used to classify the tested samples into three edible quality grades predicated on the above evaluation model. At last, the regression analysis was applied to establish a Tsampa quality predictive model according to the physicochemical traits of the raw material. The results showed that amylose, protein, β-Glucan, and a* and b* could be used to predict the comprehensive quality of Tsampa. The predicted results indicated that 11 of 14 validated samples were consistent with the actual quality, and the accuracy was above 78.57%. Our study built the approach of the appropriate processing varieties evaluation. It may provide reference for processing specific highland barley.

Abstract
Soy protein gel can be developed into a variety of products, ranging from traditional food (e.g., tofu) to newly developed food (e.g., soy yogurt and meat analog). So far, efforts are still needed to be made on modifying the gel properties of soy protein for improving its sensory properties as animal protein-based food substitutes. Furthermore, there is always a need to regulate its gel properties for designing novel and tailored products of soy protein gels due to the fast-growing plant protein-based product market. This review gave an emphasis on the latest modification strategies and applications of gel properties of soy protein. The modifying methods of soy protein gel properties were reviewed from an aspect of composition or processing. Compositional modification included changing protein composition and gelling conditions and using additives, whereas processing strategies can be achieved through physical, chemical, and enzymatic treatments. Several compositional modification and processing strategies have been both proven to alter the gel properties of soy protein effectively. So far, soy protein gel has been applied in the field of food and biomedicine. In the future, more mechanistic studies on the modification methods are still needed to facilitate the full application of soy protein gel.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max) is an important ingredient of cuisines worldwide. While there is a wealth of evidence that soybean could be a good source of macronutrients and phytochemicals with health-promoting effects, concerns regarding adverse effects have been raised. In this work, we reviewed the current clinical evidence focusing on the benefits and risks of soybean ingredients. In breast, prostate, colorectal, ovarian, and lung cancer, epidemiological studies showed an inverse association between soybean food intake and cancer risks. Soybean intake was inversely correlated with risks of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and soy isoflavones ameliorated osteoporosis and hot flashes. Notably, soybean was one of the dietary protein sources that may reduce the risk of breast cancer and T2DM. However, soybean had adverse effects on certain types of drug treatment and caused allergies. In sum, this work provides useful considerations for planning clinical soybean research and selecting dietary protein sources for human health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tofu is rich in nutrients and contains high-quality protein. However, commercial tofu products usually have weak gel strength and low water holding capacity (WHC). In the present study, the effects of selective thermal denaturation (STD) time (0-20 min, 5-min interval; 85 °C) and glycosylation (100 °C; 0, 10 and 20 g kg-1 glucose) on the quality characteristics of green soybean tofu were studied through by the evaluation method of the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) model for the best synergism condition of STD and glycosylation. RESULTS Compared to STD or glycosylation, combination treatment of STD and glycosylation improved hardness, WHC, yield, protein and fat contents of green soybean tofu. Furthermore, the gel strength, WHC, yield, protein and fat contents of tofu was increased by 135.21%, 20.18%, 12.21%, 24.91%, 44.15% compared to untreated tofu. Meanwhile, synergistic treatment of STD and glycosylation significantly improved microstructure network structure of green soybean tofu and made it more homogeneous and denser. However, the green soybean tofu was faded and turned yellow under the combination of the STD and glycosylation. CONCLUSION The results obtained through TOPSIS showed that the combination of thermal treatment (85 °C for 15 min) and glycosylation (20 g kg-1 glucose at 100 °C) had the greatest improvement in the characteristics of green soybean tofu. Hence, the combination treatment of STD and glycosylation should be useful for improving the quality characteristics of green soybean tofu and providing the technical references for industrial processing of tofu. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Foods 2023; 12:foods12040841. [PMID: 36832916 PMCID: PMC9956934 DOI: 10.3390/foods12040841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Leisure dried tofu (LD-tofu) was prepared using two different marinating processes: the repeated heating method (RHM) and the vacuum pulse method (VPM). The quality characteristics and bacterial community succession of LD-tofu and the marinade were evaluated. The results showed that the nutrients in LD-tofu were easily dissolved into the marinade during the marinating process, while the protein and moisture content of RHM LD-tofu changed most dramatically. With the increase in marinade recycling times, the springiness, chewiness and hardness of VPM LD-tofu increased significantly. The total viable count (TVC) of the VPM LD-tofu decreased from the initial value of 4.41 lg cfu/g to 2.51-2.67 lg cfu/g as a result of the marinating process, which had a significant inhibitory effect. Additionally, 26, 167 and 356 communities in the LD-tofu and marinade were detected at the phylum, family and genus levels, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that Pseudomonadaceae, Thermaceae and Lactobacillaceae were closely related to the quality characteristics of LD-tofu, whereas Caulobacteriaceae, Bacillaceae and Enterobacteriae were closely related to the marinade. The present work provides a theoretical basis for the screening of functional strains and quality control in LD-tofu and marinade.

Abstract
Soybean protein hydrolysates were prepared using two proteolytic enzymes (Alcalase and Protamex) and the degree of hydrolysis (DH) and their functional and antioxidant properties were evaluated. The highest DH value was 20%, with a yield of 19.77% and protein content of 51.64%. The total amino acid content was more than 41% for all protein hydrolysates. The protein hydrolysates from Protamex at pH 2.0 had excellent solubility, emulsifying activity, and foaming capacity, at 83.83%, 95.03 m2/g, and 93.84%, respectively. The water-holding capacity was 4.52 g/g for Alcalase, and the oil-holding capacity was 4.91 g/g for Protamex. The antioxidant activity (62.07%), as measured by the samples' reaction with DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and the reducing power (0.27) were the strongest for Protamex. An ABTS activity rate of 70.21% was recorded for Alcalase. These findings indicated a strong potential for the utilization of soybean protein hydrolysates to improve the functional properties and antioxidant activity of soybeans as well as their nutritional values.

Abstract
Considering that a series of complex issues such as environmental problems, sustainable development, animal welfare, and human health are on a global scale, the development of vegetable protein-based meat substitutes provides a potential solution to the disparity between meat consumption demand and supply. The research and development of vegetable protein-based meat substitutes have become a major commercial activity, and the market is expanding to meet the growing consumer demand. Soy protein isolates (SPI) are often used as a raw material for vegetable meat substitutes because of their potential to form fiber structures. Although significant initial success has been achieved, it is still a challenge to explain how the composition and aggregation of SPI influence gel properties and the mechanism(s) involved. This article reviews the latest research about SPI. The relationship between the composition, aggregation, and gelation properties of SPI is based on a through literature search. It focused on the application of SPI in heat- and cold-induced gels, given the diversified market demands. The research on cold gel has helped expand the market. The methods to improve the properties of SPI gels, including physical, chemical, and biological properties, are reviewed to provide insights on its role in the properties of SPI gels. To achieve environmentally friendly and efficient ways for the food industry to use SPI gel properties, the research prospects and development trends of the gel properties of SPI are summarized. New developments and practical applications in the production technology, such as for ultrasound, microwave and high pressure, are reviewed. The potential and challenges for practical applications of cold plasma technology for SPI gel properties are also discussed. There is a need to transfer the laboratory technology to actual food production efficiently and safely.

Abstract
The technological applications utilized for tofu processing are diverse and complex, resulting in different yields and quality characteristics of tofu. The current study investigated the gel-forming principle of soybean protein coagulated using fermented yellow whey (FYW) to produce tofu. The effects of several processing parameters (soybean-to-water ratio, boiling temperature, boiling time, and FYW content) on the yield and protein content of tofu produced by the boiling-to-filtering method (BFM) were studied and optimized using response surface methodology. Results indicated significant differences in yield and protein content of tofu using different processing parameters, with FYW content being the most significant (p < .05). Optimum processing parameters of the BFM were found to be: soybean-to-water ratio of 1:5 (kg:kg), boiling time 6.1 min, boiling temperature 105°C, and FYW content of 26%. Under optimum conditions, tofu's yield and protein content were 235.17 g/100 g and 10.60%, respectively, and these were 47.93 g/100 g and 4.16% higher than those before optimization. This study provides practical technical support and a theoretical basis for the standardized industrial production of high-yield and high-protein tofu.

Abstract
Previous reports have shown that plant-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate mammalian gene expression through dietary intake. Our prior study found that gma-miR159a, which is abundant in soybean, significantly inhibited the proliferation of colon cancer cells. In the current study, dietary gma-miR159a was utilized to study its anti-colon cancer function in azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colon cancer mice. Under processing conditions, gma-miR159a exhibited excellent stability in cooked soybean. In vitro, gma-miR159a suppressed the expression of the oncogene MYC downstream of the Wnt signaling pathway by targeting the TCF7 gene, significantly inhibiting the growth of colon cancer cells. The in vivo experiments showed that gma-miR159a and soybean RNA (total RNA extracted from soybean) significantly reduced tumor growth in AOM/DSS-induced colon cancer mice by gavage. This effect disappeared when anti-miR159a was present. In addition, gma-miR159a and soybean RNA significantly attenuated inflammation in colon cancer mice. These results showed that long-term dietary intake of soybean-derived gma-miR159a effectively prevented the occurrence of colon cancer and colitis, which provides novel evidence for the prevention function of soybean.

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.
