Meat Sci 2024; 216:109589. [PMID: 38970934 DOI: 10.1016/j.meatsci.2024.109589] [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: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024]
Abstract
High internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) are promising techniques that can replace saturated fat in food without reducing the product's texture, sensory attributes, water-holding capacity, and cooking loss. In the current investigation, 100% pork back fat was replaced by HIPEs formed with lentil protein isolate (LPI) in Bologna sausages. HIPEs were prepared by 25% LPI dispersion (2, 4, 6, and 8%, w/w) and 75% (w/w) soybean oil. HIPEs with higher LPI concentration (4, 6, and 8%, w/w) showed lower droplet size, firmer appearance, and better rheology behavior than 2% LPI. The concentrations LPI (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%, w/w) led to increased moisture in sausages (FH2, FH4, FH6, and FH8, respectively) compared to the FC. These LPI levels resulted in sausage values for pressed juice similar to the FC and lower energy values than sausages with soybean oil (FO) and pork back fat (FC). Besides, these LPI concentrations (4%, 6%, and 8%, w/w) resulted in a lower oil oxidation level in sausages with HIPEs (FH4, FH6, and FH8, respectively) compared to the control sausage formulation with pork back fat (FC). Bologna sausages elaborated with HIPEs showed emulsion stability values higher than 97%, without significance difference between them. The texture and sensory properties of sausages made with HIPEs were comparable to those made with pork back fat. HIPEs may improve the oxidation stability of the Bologna sausages. These results highlight the effectiveness of HIPEs structured with lentil protein in successfully substituting pork back fat in Bologna sausages with a better nutritional appeal.

Cheng Y, Meng Y, Liu S. Diversified Techniques for Restructuring Meat Protein-Derived Products and Analogues. Foods 2024; 13:1950. [PMID: 38928891 PMCID: PMC11202613 DOI: 10.3390/foods13121950] [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: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Accompanied by the rapid growth of the global population and increasing public awareness of protein-rich foods, the market demand for protein-derived products is booming. Utilizing available technologies to make full use of meat by-products, such as scraps, trimmings, etc., to produce restructured meat products and explore emerging proteins to produce meat analogues can be conducive to alleviating the pressure on supply ends of the market. The present review summarizes diversified techniques (such as high-pressure processing, ultrasonic treatment, edible polysaccharides modification, enzymatic restructuring, etc.) that have been involved in restructuring meat protein-derived products as well as preparing meat analogues identified so far and classifying them into three main categories (physical, chemical and enzymatic). The target systems, processing conditions, effects, advantages, etc., of the included techniques, are comprehensively and systemically summarized and discussed, and their existing problems or developing trends are also briefly prospected. It can be concluded that a better quality of restructured products can be obtained by the combination of different restructuring technologies. This review provides a valuable reference both for the research and industrial production of restructured meat protein-derived products and analogues.

Characterization of O/W emulgels based on whey protein-alginate-inulin coacervates: Influence of temperature and ultrasound as protein preconditioning process. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:131260. [PMID: 38599904 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131260] [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: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
Preconditioning processes in proteins play a crucial role in enhancing their functional properties as surface active agents. Whey protein isolate (WPI, 20 wt%) was preconditioned via temperature (WPIT, 90 °C) or ultrasound (WPIUS, 20 kHz, 80 % amplitude). FTIR and zeta potential analysis demonstrated the effect of the preconditioning process on the secondary structure and surface properties of WPI. WPI-Alginate:Inulin (AI) complex coacervates (CCWPI:AI) were formed at pH 3.0 using WPIT and WPIUS, and the associative electrostatic interactions between WPI-AI led to coacervation yields >90 %, influenced by the preconditioning process employed. Viscoelastic properties outlined a predominantly solid-like behavior (G´ > G"). The CCWPI:AI system based on WPIT showed enhanced strength and gel-like structure compared to the WPIUS-based system. Oil-in-water (O/W) emulgels were formed and stabilized with the CCWPI:AI complexes, exhibiting spherical droplets (93.3-292.8 μm), whereas texture and rheological properties highlighted the formation of gel-like systems. The centrifugation STEP technology was used to evaluate the physical stability of emulgels, WPIT-based emulgels displayed superior stability against creaming than untreated WPI and WPIUS-based emulgels. These findings provide a basis for developing emulgels with prolonged stability and tunable functional properties, tailoring enhanced viscoelastic and texture attributes to meet specific needs for industrial applications where gel-like properties are pursued.

Wheat bran arabinoxylan-soybean protein isolate emulsion-filled gels as a β-carotene delivery carrier: Effect of polysaccharide content on textural and rheological properties. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126465.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of different wheat bran arabinoxylan (WBAX) concentrations (1, 2, 3, and 4 wt%) on the structural and physicochemical properties of WBAX-soybean protein isolate (SPI) emulsion-filled gels (EFGs) prepared using laccase and heat treatment. The properties of the various gels as well as their microstructure, rheology, and in vitro digestion behaviors were investigated. Results showed that WBAX-SPI EFGs with a 3 wt% WBAX concentration had a smooth and uniform appearance, high water holding capacity (98.5 ± 0.2 %), and enhanced mechanical properties. Rheological experiments suggested that a stronger and closer gel network was formed at 3 wt% WBAX concentration. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that laccase and heat treatment not only catalyzed the intramolecular crosslinking of WBAX and SPI, respectively, but also promoted the interaction between WBAX and SPI. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that the WBAX gel network was interspersed within the SPI network. The interactions contributing to the gelation analysis revealed that chemical (disulfide bond) and physical (hydrogen bond and hydrophobic) interactions promoted the formation of denser EFGs. Furthermore, the WBAX-SPI EFGs provided a β-carotene bioaccessibility of 21.8 ± 0.6 %. Therefore, our study suggests that WBAX-SPI EFGs hold promising potential for industrial applications in the delivery of β-carotene.

Abstract
Rising health concerns and the diet-health link drive demand for healthier foods, prompting meat manufacturers to reformulate traditional products. These manufacturers have reduced fat content to enhance nutritional quality, which is essential for maintaining desired product features. As a result, numerous strategies have emerged over recent decades to decrease fat and enhance the lipid profiles of meat products. Among these strategies, using hydrocolloids, emulsification, encapsulation, or gelation of oils to produce fat substitutes stands out. Using gels allows fat replacers with characteristics similar to animal fat (similar rheological, physical, or appearance properties) but with a much healthier lipid profile (by incorporating highly unsaturated oils). Therefore, this manuscript aims to comprehensively describe the main fat replacers used to prepare meat products. In addition, an in-depth review of the latest studies (2022-2023) that use novel gels to reform meat products has been made, indicating in each case the implications that the reformulation produces at a physicochemical, nutritional, and sensory level. Given the reported results, it seems clear that the strategy of using bigels or emulgels is very promising and allows obtaining nutritionally highly improved meat products without affecting their sensory or physicochemical properties. However, the best conditions to obtain a novel gel suitable for use as a fat substitute for each meat product still need to be studied and correctly defined. Moreover, these advancements can pave the way for more extensive studies on using novel gel techniques in other food industries, expanding their applicability and leading to healthier consumer options across various food categories.

Abstract
Flaxseed oil is a high nutrition oil, rich in ω-3 fatty acid, tocopherols and phenolic compounds. However, it is prone to oxidation due to its high unsaturation which needs pretreatments to be easily introduce to the market. In this study, flaxseed oil was converted to powder form by mixing with microcrystalline cellulose (MC) and thyme powder to produce flaxseed oil powder. For this purpose, 3 different levels of thyme powder (5%, 10% and 15% of oil) were mixed with oil, followed by mixing with different proportions of MC (50:50, 50:75, 50:100 (oil:MC)) and stored for 90 days at 25 °C and 4 °C. Results indicated that the total phenolic compounds (23.2-91.2 mg GAE/100 g), chlorophyll (9-63.6 mg/kg), and carotenoid (4.4-9.9 mg/kg) contents increased with the incorporation of thyme powder into the flaxseed oil on the first day in 25 °C and 4 °C. Also during 90 days storage, phenolic compound (21.8%), chlorophyll (32.5%) and carotenoid (24%) decreased in both 25 °C and 4 °C temperatures. The results confirmed that adding thyme powder to samples decreased acidity and peroxide value in compare with control. Using thyme as a natural antioxidant and also transforming the oil to powder form by MC increased the oxidative stability in compare with control. The produced high stable flaxseed oil powder has the potential to be used directly on food products like salads or to be used in different food formulations to fortify them with natural antioxidants and ω-3 essential fatty acids.

Abstract
During recent years, the applicability of bi-, oleo- and emulgels has been widely studied, proving several advantages as compared to conventional fats, such as increasing the unsaturated fat content of products and being more sustainable for temperate regions as compared to tropical fats. Moreover, these alternative fat systems improve the nutritional profile, increase the bioavailability of bioactive compounds, and can be used as preservation films and markers for the inactivation of pathogens, while in 3D printing facilitate the obtaining of superior food products. Furthermore, bi-, oleo- and emulgels offer food industries efficient, innovative, and sustainable alternatives to animal fats, shortenings, margarine, palm and coconut oil due to the nutritional improvements. According to recent studies, gels can be used as ingredients for the total or partial replacement of saturated and trans fats in the meat, bakery and pastry industry. The evaluation of the oxidative quality of this gelled systems is significant because the production process involves the use of heat treatments and continuous stirring where large amounts of air can be incorporated. The aim of this literature review is to provide a synthesis of studies to better understand the interaction of components and to identify future improvements that can be applied in oil gelling technology. Generally, higher temperatures used in obtaining polymeric gels, lead to more oxidation compounds, while a higher concentration of structuring agents leads to a better protection against oxidation. Due to the gel network ability to function as a barrier against oxidation factors, gelled matrices are able to provide superior protection for the bioactive compounds. The release percentage of bioactive molecules can be regulated by formulating the gel matrix (type and concentration of structuring agents and type of oil). In terms of food products, future research may include the use of antioxidants to improve the oxidative stability of the reformulated products.

Abstract
In the present day, it has been widely established that a high intake of animal fat that contains a high content of saturated fatty acids may cause several life-threatening diseases, including obesity, diabetes-type 2, cardiovascular diseases, as well as several types of cancer. In this context, a great number of health organizations and government agencies have launched campaigns to reduce the saturated fat content in foods, which has prompted the food industry, which is no stranger to this problem, to start working to develop foods with a lower fat content or with a different fatty acid profile. Nevertheless, this is not an easy task due to the fact that saturated fat plays a very important role in food processing and in the sensorial perception of foods. Actually, the best way to replace saturated fat is with the use of structured vegetable or marine oils. The main strategies for structuring oils include pre-emulsification, microencapsulation, the development of gelled emulsions, and the development of oleogels. This review will examine the current literature on the different (i) healthier oils and (ii) strategies that will be potentially used by the food industry to reduce or replace the fat content in several food products.

Abstract
Bioactive fatty acids possess several benefits for human health; however, these molecules show a reduced oxidative stability and consequently reduced bioavailability. This work aimed to develop novel bigels as a strategy to protect bioactive fatty acids present in three different vegetable oils with nutritional attributes (coconut oil, avocado oil, and pomegranate oil) during passage through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Bigels were prepared using monoglycerides-vegetable oil oleogel and carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel. These bigels were analyzed in terms of structure and rheological characteristics. According to the rheological properties, bigels exhibited a solid-like behavior since G' was higher than G". The results showed that the proportion of oleogel was essential to the viscosity of the final formulation as an increase in this fraction was responsible for an increase in viscosity. The fatty acids profile was evaluated before and after simulated GIT. The bigels protected the fatty acids against degradation; in the case of coconut oil, the reduction of key fatty acids was 3 times lower; for avocado oil, 2 times lower; and for pomegranate oil, 1.7 times lower. These results suggest that bigels can be used as part of an important strategy for bioactive fatty acid delivery for food applications.

Abstract
In recent years, new approaches have been developed to limit the oxidation of oil-based food products by inhibiting peroxidation at the interfacial region. This review article describes and discusses these particular approaches. In bulk oils, modifying the polarity of antioxidants by chemical methods (e.g., esterifying antioxidants with fatty alcohol or fatty acids) and combining antioxidants with surfactants with low hydrophilic–lipophilic balance value (e.g., lecithin and polyglycerol polyricinoleate) can be effective strategies for inhibiting peroxidation. Compared to monolayer emulsions, a thick interfacial layer in multilayer emulsions and Pickering emulsions can act as a physical barrier. Meanwhile, high viscosity of the water phase in emulsion gels tends to hinder the diffusion of pro-oxidants into the interfacial region. Furthermore, applying surface-active substances with antioxidant properties (such as proteins, peptides, polysaccharides, and complexes of protein-polysaccharide, protein-polyphenol, protein-saponin, and protein-polysaccharide-polyphenol) that adsorb at the interfacial area is another novel method for enhancing oil-in-water emulsion oxidative stability. Furthermore, localizing antioxidants at the interfacial region through lipophilization of hydrophilic antioxidants, conjugating antioxidants with surfactants, or entrapping antioxidants into Pickering particles can be considered new strategies for reducing the emulsion peroxidation.

Abstract
Emulgels are biphasic emulsified systems in which the continuous phase is structured with a specific gelling agent. In this work, a rheological and microscopic investigation of O/W emulgels prepared by structuring the aqueous (continuous) phase with citrus fiber was carried out with the aim of designing their macroscopic properties for food uses and predicting their characteristics with a rheological model. According to previous investigations, fiber suspensions behave as "particle gels" and, consequently, the derived emulgels' properties are strongly dependent on the fiber concentration and on process conditions adopted to produce them. Therefore, a rotor-stator system was used to prepare emulgels with increasing fiber content and with different levels of energy and power used for mixing delivered to the materials. An investigation of particle gels was then carried out, fixing the operating process conditions according to emulgel results. Furthermore, the effect of the dispersed (oil) phase volume fraction was varied and a modified semi-empirical Palierne model was proposed with the aim of optimizing a correlation between rheological properties and formulation parameters, fixing the process conditions.

Abstract
AbstractThis study aimed to develop and characterise emulgels based on aqueous γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (γ-CD-MOF) solutions with sunflower oil in the presence of Tween 20, 40, and 60 emulsifiers. The main physical, structural, and rheological properties of γ-CD-MOF emulgels were investigated. The emulgels prepared with 5% and 10% γ-CD-MOF were durable. The X-ray diffraction patterns proved the existence of β polymorph type lipid crystals. The rheological analyses showed that the gel strength increased with increased γ-CD-MOF concentration, and thixotropic behaviour was observed depending on the gel strength at 10 °C. In addition, the samples were heat resistant proved by rheological temperature ramp tests. Finally, addition of the emulsifiers did not cause any change in the centrifuge stability and colour properties of the emulgels. These samples could be used to prepare different emulsion type food products.

Fatty acid profile and safety aspects of the edible oil prepared by artisans' at small-scale agricultural companies. Food Sci Nutr 2021; 9:5402-5414. [PMID: 34646511 PMCID: PMC8497834 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.2495] [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: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 05/31/2021] [Accepted: 07/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the fatty acid (FA) profiles and mycotoxin and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in sea buckthorn (SB1, SB2), flaxseed (FL3, FL4, FL5), hempseed (HE6, HE7, HE8), camelina (CA9, CA10), and mustard (MU11) edible oils, prepared by artisans' by artisanal at small-scale agricultural companies in Lithuania. The dominant FAs were palmitic and oleic acids in SB; palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and α-linolenic acids in FL; palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and α-linolenic acids in HE; palmitic, oleic, linoleic, α-linolenic, eicosenoic, and erucic acids in CA; and oleic, linoleic, α-linolenic, eicosenoic, and erucic acids in MU. In SB2 oil samples, T-2 toxin and zearalenone concentrations higher than 1.0 µg/kg were found (1.7 and 3.0 µg/kg, respectively). In sample FL4, an ochratoxin A concentration higher than 1.0 µg/kg was established (1.2 µg/kg); also, in HE8 samples, 2.0 µg/kg of zearalenone was found. None of the tested edible oils exceeded the limits for PAH concentration. Finally, because of the special place of edible oils in the human diet, not only should their contamination with mycotoxins and PAHs be controlled but also their FA profile, as an important safety characteristic, must be taken into consideration to ensure higher safety standards.
