The dispersibility of biphasic stabilized oil-in-water emulsions improved by the interaction between curdlan and soy protein isolate. Food Chem 2024; 457:140101. [PMID: 38901349 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140101] [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: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Curdlan, a natural polysaccharide, exhibits emulsion-stabilizing and viscosity-modifying properties. However, when employed solely in the aqueous phase, curdlan's adhesive nature impedes droplet dispersion, resulting in a gel-like structure with limited applicability. This investigation formulated a biphasic stabilized oil-in-water emulsion by supplementing the oil phase with beeswax and the aqueous phase with curdlan and soy protein isolate (SPI). The addition of SPI transformed the structural characteristics from a gel-like to a mayonnaise-like structure. Maximal electrostatic repulsion was observed at an internal phase volume fraction of 30%, effectively precluding droplet aggregation owing to the absolute zeta potentials surpassing 40 mV. The emulsions displayed shear-thinning rheological behavior, with a higher storage modulus than the loss modulus, indicative of favorable elastic properties. Molecular docking revealed the predominant role of polar amino acids in facilitating hydrogen bond formation. This study provides a template for developing emulsions with biphasic stability and desirable dispersibility.

Fabrication, digestion behavior and β-carotene bioaccessibility of emulsion-filled double-network gel: Effect of corn fiber gum/soy protein isolate ratio and surfactant types. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135296. [PMID: 39236966 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135296] [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: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 08/18/2024] [Accepted: 09/01/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
Emulsion fortified with β-carotene was added to corn fiber gum (CFG)/soy protein isolate (SPI) double network gel matrix to obtain emulsion-filled gels (EFG) via dual induction of laccase and glucono-δ-lactone. Protein digestion was accompanied by the release of β-carotene from gel matrix during in vitro digestion. The surfactant types and corn fiber gum/soy protein isolate ratio affected the β-carotene bioaccessibility via changing oil-water interfacial composition and emulsion particle size during in vitro digestion. As compared with Tween-20 EFGs, emulsion droplets released from SPI EFGs was more susceptible to flocculation, followed with coalescence due to proteolysis of interfacial SPI during gastric digestion. The resulting oil droplets with large particle size exhibited lower lipase adsorption, thus reducing the free fatty acid content and β-carotene bioaccessibility. The confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) observation confirmed that protein hydrolysate from gel matrix were adsorbed onto the oil-water interface competing with Tween-20 during intestinal digestion. For EFGs with higher CFG content, steric hindrance of CFG molecules and less emulsion release could inhibit droplet flocculation, thus enhancing β-carotene bioaccessibility.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of different matrices on gel properties, lipid digestibility, β-carotene bioaccessibility, released free amino acids and gel network degradation. Microstructure studies have proven that sugar beet pectin/soy protein isolate-based emulsion-filled gel (SBP/SPI-E) with interpenetrating networks was formed. SBP/SPI-E exhibited higher hardness (2.67 N, p < 0.05) and released lesser free amino acids (269.48-μmol/g SPI) than soy protein isolate-based emulsion-filled gel (SPI-E) in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF); however, both had similar free amino acids contents in simulated colonic fluid. SBP has the potential to delay gel network degradation in SIF, as evidenced by the sugar stain strips of SDS-PAGE and microstructure observation. Furthermore, SBP/SPI-E and SPI-E exhibited similar β-carotene bioaccessibility in SIF, suggesting that SBP from composite gel could not affect the aforementioned bioaccessibility. The study provides useful information for the design of functional gels in the application of fat-soluble nutrient delivery.

Abstract
Transglutaminase (TGase) induced-crosslinking of soy protein isolate (SPI) was markedly influenced by the substrate aggregation state. Results showed that appropriate heating significantly accelerated the TGase crosslinking, and the 7S and 11S acidic subunits were more susceptible to the enzyme than the 11S basic proteins. The content of ε-(γ-glutamyl)-lysine isopeptide bonds increased from 4.74 to 8.61 μmol/g protein when the heating intensity was increased from 75 °C for 15 min to 95 °C for 30 min, due to sufficient unfolding of the protein structure. Rheological data indicated that the gel formed from the SPI heated at 95 °C for 30 min exhibited the best properties, with a 60 % increase in the storage modulus compared with the unheated sample. However, excessive heating (95 °C, 60-120 min) caused severe aggregation of SPI and formation of insoluble aggregates, resulting in poor crosslinking efficiency and weaker gel properties.

Abstract
The effect of adding apple high-methoxy pectin (HMP) (0-3 mg∙mL-1) on heat-induced gel characteristics of low concentration silver carp myofibrillar protein (MP) (15 mg∙mL-1) was studied. It was found that the hardness of gel increased by 20.6 times with adding 2 mg∙mL-1 HMP. Besides, HMP aided in the development of disulfide bonds and the aggregation of hydrophobic groups. During gel formation, the maximal storage modulus (G') of samples supplemented with 2 mg·mL-1 HMP was raised by a factor of 2.7. Of note, the images of SEM showed that protein and water were tightly combined with a proper amount of HMP and made its pores more uniform and dense. Meantime, the addition of moderate amounts of HMP enabled the formation of gels with favorable texture and performance at low concentration of MP was identified, which could provide a theoretical reference for the design and production of flesh low-calorie food gel.

Abstract
Chitosan-pectin emulsion-filled hydrogel (EFH) was developed to enhance the bioaccessibility of lipophilic bioactive compounds through intestinal delivery. The EFH, incorporating a sodium caseinate-stabilized emulsion, was prepared using cold-set gelation under acidic conditions without crosslinking agents. Increasing the pectin concentration (0.75-1.50%, w/v) improved the mechanical strength and compactness of the EFH. The pH-responsive EFH retained the emulsion at pH 2.0 and released it at pH 7.4. In vitro digestion demonstrated that the EFH remained intact during oral and gastric stages, while the emulsion alone became destabilized. During intestinal digestion, the release of free fatty acids from the EFH decreased from 58.67% to 43.76% as the pectin concentration increased from 0.75% to 1.50%. EFH with 0.75% and 1.00% pectin significantly improved curcumin bioaccessibility compared to the emulsion alone. These findings demonstrate the potential of chitosan-pectin EFH as a novel carrier system for enhancing the bioaccessibility of lipophilic bioactive compounds.

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
In this study, the protein and oleosomes of sesame seeds were extracted individually and used to prepare a gel composed of gelatin, protein, and oleosomes. Mixtures of gelatin and sesame seeds protein were prepared, and oleosomes with different percentages (0, 10, 20 and 30% of their weight) were used. Different amounts of oleosomes in the composite gel samples were examined for their morphological, rheological, and textural properties. The results of the viscoelastic properties of different composite gel samples indicated that a higher percentage of oleosomes would increase the storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G″), and complex viscosity (η*). The storage modulus of all gel samples was greater than the loss modulus, suggesting a solid behavior. So, in the sample with 30% oleosome, the storage modulus and the loss modulus reached 143,440 Pascals and 44,530 Pascals. The hardness and breaking force in samples containing 30% oleosome reached 1.29 ± 0.02 and 0.17 ± 0.02, respectively. In general, it can be said that composite gels based on gelatin-sesame seed protein modified with oleosome can be used as a part of food components in various dairy products, gelatin desserts, lean meat products and the production of useful products.

Abstract
For the development of innovative foods and nutritional fortification, research into food gel is essential. As two types of rich natural gel material, both legume proteins and polysaccharides have high nutritional value and excellent application potential, attracting wide attention worldwide. Research has focused on combining legume proteins with polysaccharides to form hybrid hydrogels as their combinations show improved texture and water retention compared to single legume protein or single polysaccharide gels, and these properties can be tailored for specific applications. This article reviews hydrogels of common legume proteins and discusses heat induction, pH induction, salt ion induction, and enzyme-induced assembly of legume protein/polysaccharide mixtures. The applications of these hydrogels in fat replacement, satiety enhancement, and delivery of bioactive ingredients are discussed. Challenges for future work are also highlighted.

Abstract
In this work, emulsion-filled gels were prepared from natural and pH-shifting combined with ultrasound β-conglycinin (7S) as emulsifiers. The emulsifier modification and emulsion concentrations (5, 10, 15, 20 wt%) were evaluated on the structural and β-carotene release properties of the gels. Compared to the 7S hydrogel, the emulsion-filled gels exhibited better water-holding and textural properties. The 7S modification and the increase in emulsion concentration resulted in altered water distribution and improved microstructure and rheological properties of the emulsion-filled gels. The dense and homogeneous gel network was formed at an emulsion content of 15 wt%. The gels were regulated by different release kinetics in a simulated gastrointestinal environment. M-15 showed the highest bioaccessibility and chemical stability (72.25% and 89.87%) with good slow-release properties of β-carotene. These results will guide the development of encapsulated delivery systems for gel food products.

[PMID: 37232958 DOI: 10.3390/gels9050366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Recent advances in the understanding of formulations and processing techniques have allowed for greater freedom in plant-based emulsion gel design to better recreate conventional animal-based foods. The roles of plant-based proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids in the formulation of emulsion gels and relevant processing techniques such as high-pressure homogenization (HPH), ultrasound (UH), and microfluidization (MF), were discussed in correlation with the effects of varying HPH, UH, and MF processing parameters on emulsion gel properties. The characterization methods for plant-based emulsion gels to quantify their rheological, thermal, and textural properties, as well as gel microstructure, were presented with a focus on how they can be applied for food purposes. Finally, the potential applications of plant-based emulsion gels, such as dairy and meat alternatives, condiments, baked goods, and functional foods, were discussed with a focus on sensory properties and consumer acceptance. This study found that the implementation of plant-based emulsion gel in food is promising to date despite persisting challenges. This review will provide valuable insights for researchers and industry professionals looking to understand and utilize plant-based food emulsion gels.

Soy Protein Isolate/Sodium Alginate Microparticles under Different pH Conditions: Formation Mechanism and Physicochemical Properties. Foods 2022; 11:foods11060790. [PMID: 35327213 PMCID: PMC8947744 DOI: 10.3390/foods11060790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 02/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
The effects of sodium alginate (SA) and pH value on the formation, structural properties, microscopic morphology, and physicochemical properties of soybean protein isolate (SPI)/SA microparticles were investigated. The results of ζ-potential and free sulfhydryl (SH) content showed electrostatic interactions between SPI and SA, which promoted the conversion of free SH into disulfide bonds within the protein. The surface hydrophobicity, fluorescence spectra, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy data suggested that the secondary structure and microenvironment of the internal hydrophobic groups of the protein in the SPI/SA microparticles were changed. Compared with SPI microparticles, the surface of SPI/SA microparticles was smoother, the degree of collapse was reduced, and the thermal stability was improved. In addition, under the condition of pH 9.0, the average particle size of SPI/SA microparticles was only 15.92 ± 0.66 μm, and the distribution was uniform. Rheological tests indicated that SA significantly increased the apparent viscosity of SPI/SA microparticles at pH 9.0. The maximum protein solubility (67.32%), foaming ability (91.53 ± 1.12%), and emulsion activity (200.29 ± 3.38 m2/g) of SPI/SA microparticles occurred at pH 9.0. The application of SPI/SA microparticles as ingredients in high-protein foods is expected to be of great significance in the food industry.

Abstract
Emulsion gel, a novel oral delivery carrier, provides the possibility to co-load hydrophilic and lipophilic nutrients simultaneously. In this study, duo-induction methods of laccase and glucono-δ-lactone (L&GDL) or laccase and transglutaminase (L&MTG) were used to prepare the soy protein isolate-sugar beet pectin (SPI-SBP) emulsion gel. The textural data of the emulsion gel was normalized to analyze the effect of different induction methods on the gel property of the SPI-SBP emulsion gels. The characterization studies showed the structure of L&MTG emulsion gel was denser with a lower swelling ratio and reduced degree of digestion, compared with L&GDL emulsion gel. Moreover, the release profiles of both β-carotene and riboflavin co-loaded in the SPI-SBP emulsion gels were correlated to the digestion patterns of the gel matrix; the controlled-release of encapsulated functional factors was regulated by a gel network induced by different induction methods, mainly due to the resulting porosity of the structure and swelling ratio during digestion. In conclusion, SPI-SBP emulsion gels have the capability of encapsulating multiple functional factors with different physicochemical properties.
