[PMID: 38731769 PMCID: PMC11083271 DOI: 10.3390/foods13091398] [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: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Plant-based proteins have gained popularity in the food industry as a good protein source. Among these, chickpea protein has gained significant attention in recent times due to its high yields, high nutritional content, and health benefits. With an abundance of essential amino acids, particularly lysine, and a highly digestible indispensable amino acid score of 76 (DIAAS), chickpea protein is considered a substitute for animal proteins. However, the application of chickpea protein in food products is limited due to its poor functional properties, such as solubility, water-holding capacity, and emulsifying and gelling properties. To overcome these limitations, various modification methods, including physical, biological, chemical, and a combination of these, have been applied to enhance the functional properties of chickpea protein and expand its applications in healthy food products. Therefore, this review aims to comprehensively examine recent advances in Cicer arietinum (chickpea) protein extraction techniques, characterizing its properties, exploring post-modification strategies, and assessing its diverse applications in the food industry. Moreover, we reviewed the nutritional benefits and sustainability implications, along with addressing regulatory considerations. This review intends to provide insights into maximizing the potential of Cicer arietinum protein in diverse applications while ensuring sustainability and compliance with regulations.

Yaputri BP, Feyzi S, Ismail BP. Transglutaminase-Induced Polymerization of Pea and Chickpea Protein to Enhance Functionality. Gels 2023; 10:11. [PMID: 38247734 PMCID: PMC10815621 DOI: 10.3390/gels10010011] [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: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Pulse proteins, such as pea and chickpea proteins, have inferior functionality, specifically gelation, compared to soy protein, hindering their applications in different food products, such as meat analogs. To close the functionality gap, protein polymerization via targeted modification can be pursued. Accordingly, transglutaminase-induced polymerization was evaluated in pea protein isolate (PPI) and chickpea protein isolate (ChPI) to improve their functionality. The PPI and ChPI were produced following a scaled-up salt extraction coupled with ultrafiltration (SE-UF) process. Transglutaminase (TGase)-modified PPI and ChPI were evaluated in comparison to unmodified counterparts and to commercial protein ingredients. Protein denaturation and polymerization were observed in the TG PPI and TG ChPI. In addition, the TGase modification led to the formation of intermolecular β-sheet and β-turn structures that contributed to an increase in high-molecular-weight polymers, which, in turn, significantly improved the gel strength. The TG ChPI had a significantly higher gel strength but a lower emulsification capacity than the TG PPI. These results demonstrated the impact of the inherent differences in the protein fractions on the functional behavior among species. For the first time, the functional behavior of the PPI and ChPI, produced on a pilot scale under mild processing conditions, was comprehensively evaluated as impacted by the TGase-induced structural changes.

[PMID: 37868001 PMCID: PMC10587706 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2023.100612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Protein concentrates obtained from discarded grain flours of white chickpea Sinaloa (Cicer arietinum) (CC), "Azufrazin" bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) (BC), and white corn (Zea mays) (MC), were characterized biochemically through bromatological analyses (protein, lipid, fiber, moisture, ashes, and nitrogen free extract), HPLC techniques (amino acids content), and spectrophotometry (anti-nutrients: phytic acid, trypsin inhibitors, and saponins). The percentage of protein obtained from CC, BC, and MC was 71.23, 81.10, and 55.69%, respectively. Most peptides in the BC and CC flours had a molecular weight of <1.35 kDa, meanwhile, MC peptides were heavier (1.35 to 17 kDa). The amino acids (AA) profile of flours and protein concentrates were similar; however, all the protein concentrates showed an increased AA accumulation (300 to -400%) compared with their flours. The protein concentrates from BC registered the highest AA accumulation (77.4 g of AA/100 g of protein concentrates). Except for the phytic acid in CC and trypsin inhibitor in CC and MC, respectively, the rest of the protein concentrates exhibited higher amounts of the anti-nutrients compared with their flours; however, these levels do not exceed the reported toxicity for some animals, mainly when used in combination with other ingredients for feed formulations. It is concluded that CC and BC protein concentrates showed better nutritional characteristics than MC (level of protein, size of peptides, and AA profile). After biochemical characterization, protein concentrates derived from by-products have nutritional potential for the animal feed industry.

Abstract
The demand for pulse proteins as alternatives to soy protein has been steeply increasing over the past decade. However, the relatively inferior functionality compared to soy protein is hindering the expanded use of pulse proteins, namely pea and chickpea protein, in various applications. Harsh extraction and processing conditions adversely impact the functional performance of pea and chickpea protein. Therefore, a mild protein extraction method involving salt extraction coupled with ultrafiltration (SE-UF) was evaluated for the production of chickpea protein isolate (ChPI). The produced ChPI was compared to pea protein isolate (PPI) produced following the same extraction method in terms of functionality and feasibility of scaling. Scaled-up (SU) ChPI and PPI were produced under industrially relevant settings and evaluated in comparison to commercial pea, soy, and chickpea protein ingredients. Controlled scaled-up production of the isolates resulted in mild changes in protein structural characteristics and comparable or improved functional properties. Partial denaturation, modest polymerization, and increased surface hydrophobicity were observed in SU ChPI and PPI compared to the benchtop counterparts. The unique structural characteristics of SU ChPI, including its ratio of surface hydrophobicity and charge, contributed to superior solubility at both a neutral and acidic pH compared to both commercial soy protein and pea protein isolates (cSPI and cPPI) and significantly outperformed cPPI in terms of gel strength. These findings demonstrated both the promising scalability of SE-UF and the potential of ChPI as a functional plant protein ingredient.

Abstract
Pea protein is a growing plant-based protein ingredient. Pea proteins have characteristic undesirable flavors, leading to challenges in ingredient applications. The objective of this study was to characterize the flavor of pea proteins using descriptive sensory analysis and instrumental volatile compound analyses. Seven sensory attributes were identified in most pea proteins at variable intensities: cereal/grain, cardboard, green pea, beany/yellow pea, bitter, umami, and astringent. Other attributes, cheesy, doughy, sulfur, pyrazine, fecal, sweet aromatic and salty taste, were distinguishing flavors of some pea proteins (p < 0.05). The key aroma-active compounds in pea proteins were hexanal, heptanal, benzaldehyde, methional, 2-hexanone, 2-heptanone, 1-octen-3-one, 2-nonanone, 1-nonen-3-one, 1-pentanol, 2-pentyl furan, 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine, 2,5-dimethyl-3-(3-methylbutyl)-pyrazine and 2-methyl-isoborneol (present in all representative samples). Volatile compounds responsible for the majority of sample variation included 2-methyl butanal, (Z)-3-hexanal, (E,E)-2,4-decadienal, 1-octen-3-one, 2-decanone, 1-pentanol, 1-octen-3-ol, geosmin and 2,3-diethyl-5-methyl pyrazine (p < 0.05). This study can facilitate product development and flavor masking of various pea protein applications.

Abstract
Isoelectrically precipitated chickpea protein isolate (CPI) and its combination with maltodextrin (MD) were investigated for the ability to form and stabilize cumin seed oil emulsions. Solubility, net surface charge, emulsion activity/stability indices, and creaming stability of CPI at a pH of 3.0-9.0 were evaluated. Optimum conditions for minimum cream separation were identified as: 0.19% CPI and 6.83% oil concentrations. Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) seed essential oil was microencapsulated within the CPI-MD matrix via spray drying. Effects of CPI-MD matrix formulation on the physicochemical characteristics and volatile composition of the microencapsules were investigated. CPI-MD matrices had positive effects on microcapsule properties such as relatively lower surface oil, higher encapsulation efficiency (EE), and oil retention. Approximately 86.6-96.4% oil retention and 90.9-98.4% EE were achieved. Optimum conditions for maximized oil retention (92.9%) and EE (98.6%) were identified as: 2.1% CPI, 14.8% essential oil, and 35% MD. GC-MS analysis of microcapsules was carried out to determine the changes in volatile composition during spray drying. Cymene, α-pinene, β-pinene, sabinene, terpinene, terpineol, phellandrene, and cumin aldehyde were determined as the major components. Optimized design showed the highest EE and minimal changes in the volatile composition of cumin seed essential oil.

Abstract
This study examined the amino-acid profile, secondary structure, and physicochemical and functional properties of proteins isolated from Anatolian chickpea landraces. Secondary objective of the study was to determine whether a relationship exists between the amino-acid composition and physicochemical and functional properties. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid were the dominant amino acids, while the isolates were deficient in methionine. Secondary structures were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, where the β-sheet was shown to be dominant. The denaturation temperature of the isolates was between 87 and 145 °C, and the highest net surface charge (≃28.6 mV) and solubility (∼95.0%) were observed at pH 9.0-10.0. The isolates' water-holding capacity varied between 2.1 and 2.7 g water/g protein, whereas their oil-holding capacity ranged between 3.4 and 4.4 g oil/g protein. Emulsion capacity, emulsifying activity, and the stability indices of isolates were found to be between 401.2 and 469.1 g oil/g protein, 14.5 and 25.7 m2/g, and 45.7 and 146.9 min, respectively. Isolates of Hisar and Erzincan chickpeas exhibited good emulsifying properties. The Yasa isolate had a relatively high hydrophobic amino-acid content and delivered the best gelation performance. Overall, significant differences in the characteristics of proteins were observed among the different chickpea landraces studied.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 15:polym15010110.

Abstract
Chickpeas are the third most abundant legume crop worldwide, having a high protein content (14.9-24.6%) with interesting technological properties, thus representing a sustainable alternative to animal proteins. In this study, the surface and structural properties of total (TE) and sequential (ALB, GLO, and GLU) protein fractions isolated from defatted chickpea flour were evaluated and compared with an animal protein, ovalbumin (OVO). Differences in their physicochemical properties were evidenced when comparing TE with ALB, GLO, and GLU fractions. In addition, using a simple and low-cost extraction method it was obtained a high protein yield (82 ± 4%) with a significant content of essential and hydrophobic amino acids. Chickpea proteins presented improved interfacial and surface behavior compared to OVO, where GLO showed the most significant effects, correlated with its secondary structure and associated with its flexibility and higher surface hydrophobicity. Therefore, chickpea proteins have improved surface properties compared to OVO, evidencing their potential use as foam and/or emulsion stabilizers in food formulations for the replacement of animal proteins.

Abstract
In order to improve the oil adsorption capacity of chickpea protein, enzymatic cross-linking combined ultrasound was used to modify chickpea protein. Electrophoretic results showed that enzymatic cross-linking made the protein bands thinner, but ultrasound had no significant effect. The oil adsorption capacity of chickpea protein increased from 1.88 to 2.43 g/g; the surface hydrophobicity increased from 3933 to 4575; the zeta potential and emulsification performance were improved.After enzymatic cross-linking, the content of the free sulfhydryl group and emulsifying stability were decreased, and the particle size and the content of disulfide bonds were increased.After ultrasonic treatment, these properties showed an opposite trend. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy showed that β-turn and random coil increased, the structure of protein became more loose and disordered. These results indicate that enzymatic cross-linking combined with ultrasound improves the functional properties of chickpea protein and extends its application.

Abstract
Plant proteins are spreading due to growing environmental, health and ethical concerns related to animal proteins. Proteins deriving from cereals, oilseeds, and pulses are witnessing a sharp growth showing a wide spectrum of applications from meat and fish analogues to infant formulations. Bakery products are one of the biggest markets of alternative protein applications for functional and nutritional motives. Fortifying bakery products with proteins can secure a better amino-acids profile and a higher protein intake. Conventional plant proteins (i.e., wheat and soy) dominate the bakery industry, but emerging sources (i.e., pea, chickpea, and faba) are also gaining traction. Each protein brings specific functional properties and nutritional value. Therefore, this chapter gives an overview of the main features of plant proteins and discusses their impact on the quality of bakery products.

Abstract
Tartary buckwheat protein (TBP) has promise as a potential source of novel natural nutrient plant protein ingredients. The modulating effects of microwave pretreatment at varying powers and times on the structure, functional properties, and antioxidant activities of germinated TBP were investigated. Compared with native germinated TBP, after microwave pretreatment, the content of free sulfhydryl groups in the germinated TBP increased, and the secondary structure changes showed a significant decrease in α-helix and an increase in random coil contents, and the intensity of the ultraviolet absorption peak increased (p < 0.05). In addition, microwave pretreatment significantly improved the solubility (24.37%), water-holding capacity (38.95%), emulsifying activity index (17.21%), emulsifying stability index (11.22%), foaming capacity (71.43%), and foaming stability (33.60%) of germinated TBP (p < 0.05), and the in vitro protein digestibility (5.56%) and antioxidant activities (DPPH (32.35%), ABTS (41.95%), and FRAP (41.46%)) of germinated TBP have also been improved. Among different treatment levels, a microwave level of 300 W/50 s gave the best results for the studied parameters. Specifically, microwave pretreatment could be a promising approach for modulating other germinated plant protein resources, as well as expanding the application of TBP.

GSPI suspensions (10%) were sonicated with a probe (20 kHz) at 3 power levels (200 W, 400 W, 600 W) for 15 and 30 min, in addition, to control treatment without ultrasound. Moisture content, water activity, bulk and compact densities and the L*, a* and b* color parameters of the GSPI decreased due to the ultrasound. Glutelin (61.1%) was the main protein fraction in GSPI. Results through Fourier transform infrared and fluorescence spectroscopy showed that ultrasound modified the secondary and tertiary protein structures of GSPI, which increased the surface hydrophobicity, molecular flexibility and in vitro digestibility of GSPI proteins by up to 114.8%, 57.3% and 12.5%, respectively. In addition, maximum reductions of 11.9% in particle size and 55.2% in turbidity of GSPI suspensions, as well as larger and more porous aggregates in GSPI lyophilized powders were observed by ultrasound impact. These structural and physicochemical changes had an improvement of up to 115.5% in solubility, 39.8% in oil absorption capacity, while the increases for emulsifying, foaming, gelling, flow and cohesion properties of GSPI were 87.4%, 74.2%, 40.0%, 44.4%, and 8.9%, respectively. The amelioration of the functional properties of GSPI by ultrasound could represent an alternative for its possible use as a food ingredient in industry.

Abstract
Legumes have been known for centuries for their good nutritional properties. Unfortunately, during processing, from 5 to 25% of this production is wasted, generating by-products that can still be a rich source of useful compounds, such as proteins, which can still be used in food and feed formulations. The choice of the extraction technique is important to preserve the nutritional value of proteins since drastic conditions of pH and/or temperature could damage them. In this work, two mild extraction techniques (direct assisted extraction-DAE and enzymatic assisted extraction-EAE) were applied for protein extraction from legume by-products obtained from agro-industrial processes. The quality of proteins was evaluated considering protein integrity [SDS-PAGE, degree of hydrolysis (DH), free amino acid content, racemization degree] and nutritional features [amino acid score (AAS), digestibility]. Direct assisted extraction is the technique that has best preserved protein integrity (1-5% DH and free amino acid content <1%), The digestibility of proteins extracted with EAE is higher (no protein bands detected in SDS-PAGE) than with the one of DAE extracts, making this technique particularly suitable for those food and feed formulation were a high digestibility of proteins is required.

Abstract
Pulse crops have received growing attention from the agri-food sector because they can provide advantageous health benefits and offer a promising source of starch and protein. Pea, lentil, and faba bean are the three leading pulse crops utilized for extracting protein concentrate/isolate in food industry, which simultaneously generates a rising volume of pulse starch as a co-product. Pulse starch can be fractionated from seeds using dry and wet methods. Compared with most commercial starches, pea, lentil, and faba bean starches have relatively high amylose contents, longer amylopectin branch chains, and characteristic C-type polymorphic arrangement in the granules. The described molecular and granular structures of the pulse starches impart unique functional attributes, including high final viscosity during pasting, strong gelling property, and relatively low digestibility in a granular form. Starch isolated from wrinkled pea-a high-amylose mutant of this pulse crop-possesses an even higher amylose content and longer branch chains of amylopectin than smooth pea, lentil, and faba bean starches, which make the physicochemical properties and digestibility of the former distinctively different from those of common pulse starches. The special functional properties of pulse starches promote their applications in food, feed, bioplastic and other industrial products, which can be further expanded by modifying them through chemical, physical and/or enzymatic approaches. Future research directions to increase the fractionation efficiency, improve the physicochemical properties, and enhance the industrial utilization of pulse starches have also been proposed. The comprehensive information covered in this review will be beneficial for the pulse industry to develop effective strategies to generate value from pulse starch.

Abstract
The physicochemical and functional properties of grains, flour and protein isolates (QPI) from different quinoa lines were evaluated. Quinoa flour and protein isolates were characterised by high protein (14.1-15.4% and 78.7-86%, respectively) and phenolic content (419 to 655 mg GAE/100 g). Water and oil absorption capacity of QPI (2.0-3.6 g/g and 2.71-3.32 g/g, respectively) was significantly higher than quinoa flour (1.22 and 2.17 gand 0.9 and1.54 g, respectively). QPI showed desirable functional properties in terms of high foaming capacity (50.8 to 60.2%), foam stability (38.5 to 50.4%), protein solubility (30 and 53.3%), and emulsification index (EAI- 19.2-26.1 m2/g and ESI- 96.7-149.8 min, respectively). Digestibility of QPI ranged between 70.8 and 77.8% and was negatively correlated to random coils. Quinoa lines with higher grain density (GD) showed higher total phenol content (TPC) and WAC and lower FRSA and OAC. QPI with higher proportions of β-structure and random coils had enhanced protein surface activities leading to improved emulsification and foaming capabilities. Among the highly conserved polypeptides (PPs), variations were observed in accumulation of 53, 59 and 32 kDa PPs for grains and 33 and 21-24 kDa PPs for QPI.
