[PMID: 38104448 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138201] [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: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
High internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) stabilized by edible colloid particles have gained great interest. In this study, ultrasound-treated pea protein isolate and mung bean starch complexes (UPPI/MS) were prepared and used in stabilization of HIPPEs. The emulsifying properties of UPPI/MS were found to be superior to those of pea protein isolate (PPI), as evidenced by a smaller particle size and higher surface hydrophobicity. HIPPEs stabilized by UPPI/MS displayed a higher viscoelastic and gel-like structure. Low-Field NMR (LF-NMR) revealed that HIPPEs stabilized by UPPI60/MS (UPPI60/MS-HIPPEs) showed better ability to restrict the mobility of water. UPPI60/MS-HIPPEs also revealed the best environmental stability attributed a stronger three-dimensional network structure. Encapsulation of β-carotene within HIPPEs resulted in improving stability, with UPPI60/MS-HIPPEs exhibiting the highest retention rate of 73.58 %. Moreover, β-carotene encapsulated in HIPPEs displayed enhanced bioaccessibility, with UPPI60/MS-HIPPEs achieving the highest value of 25.37 %. This research highlighted the potential of UPPI60/MS complexes as effective stabilizers for HIPPEs and provided new insights on HIPPEs in nutrient delivery systems.

[PMID: 38357374 PMCID: PMC10864196 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101186] [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: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Pickering emulsions prepared from protein-polysaccharide complexes have attracted increasing attention. In this study, whey protein isolates (WPI) were modified with oligochitosan using transglutaminase (TGase)-type to fabricate Pickering emulsions, and loaded with curcumin. The curcumin/protein ratio of 1:25 and oil phase fraction (φ = 17 %) are the most optimal condition for emulsions stabilization, and particle size of glycosylated WPI emulsion was 31.70 μm. Glycosylated WPI emulsion had the highest encapsulation efficiency (96.64 %) of curcumin. Microstructure analysis showed that glycosylated WPI had small droplets covered by dense interface layers. The modified WPI emulsions exhibited optimal emulsifying properties and emulsion stability, which effectively inhibited the premature water-oil stratification in emulsion. In vitro digestion results showed that WPI-oligochitosan complexes enhanced curcumin bioaccessibility (40.34 %). The antioxidant activity of glycosylated WPI emulsions was significantly increased. The results of this study provide helpful references for applying glycosylated WPI-stabilized Pickering emulsions, which can be used as transport carriers of curcumin.

Investigation of structural and physicochemical properties of microcapsules obtained from protein-polysaccharide conjugate via the Maillard reaction containing Satureja khuzestanica essential oil. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 252:126468. [PMID: 37625762 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126468] [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: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
In this study, some common proteins including, whey protein isolate (WPI), soy protein isolate (SPI), and gelatin (G) conjugated with maltodextrin (MD) via Maillard reaction and were then used to encapsulate Satureja khuzestanica essential oil (SKEO). The higher glycation degree was obtained at a pH of 9 and 3 h of heating at 60 °C for SPI and WPI, and 90 °C for G. The results of FTIR and intrinsic fluorescence test showed the possibility of covalent binding formation between proteins and maltodextrin. The encapsulation efficiencies were obtained about 83.84 %, 88.95 %, and 89.27 % for MD-SPI, MD-G, and MD-WPI, respectively. Moreover, the Maillard reaction-based microcapsules had higher antioxidant activity than the physical mixture of protein-polysaccharide. The addition of SKEO to microcapsules improved antimicrobial activity. The results of this study demonstrated that MD-WPI and MD-G, as encapsulating materials, can be used to enhance the physiochemical properties of microcapsules loaded with SKEO.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4474.

Abstract
This study aims to fabricate zein-based colloidal nanoparticles, which were used to stabilize Pickering emulsions, by conjugation with soybean polysaccharide (SSPS) through the Maillard reaction. The physicochemical properties of the conjugated particles as well as the physical and oxidative stability of the fabricated Pickering emulsion that utilized conjugated colloidal particles with the volumetric ratio of water and oil at 50:50 were investigated. The grafting degree of zein and SSPS was verified through examination of FT-IR and fluorescence. Moreover, the conjugated Zein/SSPS nanoparticles (ZSP) that were prepared after dry heating for 48-72 h exhibit excellent colloidal stability across a range of pH values (4.0-10.0). Further, the wettability of ZSP decreased based on a contact angle analysis of θ~87°. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images indicated that ZSP particles were located around the oil droplets. Additionally, the ZSP effectively improved the oxidative stability of the Pickering emulsions, as demonstrated by a significant decrease in both peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). The results of this study demonstrate that ZSP represents a promising food-grade Pickering emulsifier, capable of not only stabilizing emulsions but also inhibiting their oil oxidation.

High-intensity ultrasound combined with glycation enhances the thermal stability and in vitro digestion behaviors of myofibrillar protein aqueous solution. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 251:126301.

Abstract
The low thermal stability of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) is a technological barrier to them being applied in beverage formulas. In this study, we investigated the effect of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) pretreatment combined with glycation on the thermal stability, structural characteristics, and in vitro digestion behavior of MPs in water. The results indicated that HIU pretreatment combined with glycation significantly inhibited thermal aggregation and reduced the particle size of MPs compared to using either HIU or glycation treatments individually. The grafting of dextran (DX) shielded the sulfhydryl (-SH) and hydrophobic groups and inhibited disulfide bond cross-linking and hydrophobic association. Moreover, HIU pretreatment facilitated the shielding effect of glycation by destroying the filamentous myosin structure and exposing the internal -SH and hydrophobic groups as well as the grafting sites, maximally inhibiting thermal aggregation. In addition, the smaller protein particles and more flexible structure caused by HIU pretreatment combined with glycation increased their binding affinity toward protease. Overall, these findings can promote the technological development of modulating the MP structure-digestion for formulating novel meat protein-based products.

Improved Viability of Probiotics via Microencapsulation in Whey-Protein-Isolate-Octenyl-Succinic-Anhydride-Starch-Complex Coacervates. Molecules 2023; 28:5732. [PMID: 37570702 PMCID: PMC10420251 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28155732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to microencapsulate probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus 11073) using whey-protein-isolate (WPI)-octenyl-succinic-anhydride-starch (OSA-starch)-complex coacervates and to investigate the effects on probiotic bacterial viability during spray drying, simulated gastrointestinal digestion, thermal treatment and long-term storage. The optimum mixing ratio and pH for the preparation of WPI-OSA-starch-complex coacervates were determined to be 2:1 and 4.0, respectively. The combination of WPI and OSA starch under these conditions produced microcapsules with smoother surfaces and more compact structures than WPI-OSA starch alone, due to the electrostatic attraction between WPI and OSA starch. As a result, WPI-OSA-starch microcapsules showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher viability (95.94 ± 1.64%) after spray drying and significantly (p < 0.05) better protection during simulated gastrointestinal digestion, heating (65 °C/30 min and 75 °C/10 min) and storage (4/25 °C for 12 weeks) than WPI-OSA-starch microcapsules. These results demonstrated that WPI-OSA-starch-complex coacervates have excellent potential as a novel wall material for probiotic microencapsulation.

Abstract
This study investigated the interfacial adsorption and emulsifying performance of glycated β-conglycinin (7S) with D-galactose (Gal) at various times. Results indicated that glycation increased the particle sizes and zeta potentials of glycated 7S by inducing subunit dissociation. Glycation destroyed the tertiary structures and transformed secondary structures from an ordered one to a disordered one, leading to the more flexible structures of glycated 7S compared with untreated 7S. All these results affected the structural unfolding and rearrangement of glycated 7S at the oil/water interface. Therefore, glycated 7S improved interfacial adsorption and formed an interfacial viscoelasticity layer, increasing emulsifying performance to stabilize high internal phase emulsions (HIPE) with self-supportive structures. Furthermore, the solid gel-like network of HIPE stabilized by glycated 7S led to emulsification stability. This result provided new ideas to improve the functional properties of plant proteins by changing the interfacial structure.

Whey Protein Isolate- Mesona chinensis Polysaccharide Conjugate: Characterization and Its Applications in O/W Emulsions. Foods 2023; 12:foods12051068.

Abstract
Mesona chinensis polysaccharide (MCP), a common thickener, stabilizer and gelling agent in food and pharmaceuticals, also has antioxidant, immunomodulatory and hypoglycemic properties. Whey protein isolate (WPI)-MCP conjugate was prepared and used as a stabilizer for O/W emulsion in this study. FT-IR and surface hydrophobicity results showed there could exist interactions between -COO- in MCP and -NH3+ in WPI, and hydrogen bonding may be involved in the covalent binding process. The red-shifted peaks in the FT-IR spectra suggested the formation of WPI-MCP conjugate, and MCP may be bound to the hydrophobic area of WPI with decreasing surface hydrophobicity. According to chemical bond measurement, hydrophobic interaction, hydrogen bond and disulfide bond played the main role in the formation process of WPI-MCP conjugate. According to morphological analysis, the O/W emulsion formed by WPI-MCP had a larger size than the emulsion formed by WPI. The conjugation of MCP with WPI improved the apparent viscosity and gel structure of emulsions, which was concentration-dependent. The oxidative stability of the WPI-MCP emulsion was higher than that of the WPI emulsion. However, the protection effect of WPI-MCP emulsion on β-carotene still needs to be further improved.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the optimal conditions for the preparation of bovine serum albumin (BSA)/casein (CA)-dextran (DEX) conjugates by ultrasonic pretreatment combined with glycation (U-G treatment). When BSA and CA were treated with ultrasound (40% amplitude, 10 min), the grafting degree increased 10.57% and 6.05%, respectively. Structural analysis revealed that ultrasonic pretreatment changed the secondary structure, further affected functional properties of proteins. After U-G treatment, the solubility and thermal stability of BSA and CA was significantly increased, and the foaming and emulsifying capacity of proteins were also changed. Moreover, ultrasonic pretreatment and glycation exhibited a greater impact on BSA characterized with highly helical structure. Complexes fabricated by U-G-BSA/CA and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) exhibited protection on anthocyanins (ACNs), delaying the thermal degradation of ACNs. In conclusion, the protein conjugates treated by ultrasonic pretreatment combined with glycation have excellent functionality and are potential carrier materials.

Abstract
In this study, soy β-conglycinin (7S) was glycated with dextran of different molecular masses (40, 70, 150, 500 kDa) by the dry-heating method to synthesize soy β-conglycinin-dextran (7S-DEX) conjugates. The curcumin (Cur) loaded nanocomplexes were prepared based on 7S-DEX conjugates by a pH-driven self-assemble strategy to enhance the solubility and thermal stability of curcumin. Results showed that the 7S-150 conjugates (glycated from 7S with dextran (150 kDa)) could remain stable in the pH 3.0-pH 8.0 range and during the heat treatment. The results of fluorescence quenching and FT-IR indicated that glycated 7S were combined with curcumin mainly by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction, and 7S-150 conjugates had higher binding affinity than natural 7S for curcumin. The loading capacity (μg/mg) and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of 7S-150-Cur were 16.06 μg/mg and 87.51%, respectively, significantly higher than that of 7S-Cur (12.41 μg/mg, 51.15%). The XRD spectrum showed that curcumin was exhibited in an amorphous state within the 7S-150-Cur nanocomplexes. After heating at 65 °C for 30 min, the curcumin retention of the 7S-150-Cur nanocomplexes was about 1.4 times higher than that of free curcumin. The particle size of 7S-150-Cur nanocomplexes was stable (in the range of 10-100 nm) during the long storage time (21 days).

Continuous cyclic wet heating glycation to prepare myofibrillar protein-glucose conjugates: A study on the structures, solubility and emulsifying properties. Food Chem 2022; 388:133035. [PMID: 35483289 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.133035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Myofibrillar protein (MP) is often modified by various strategies to obtain better functional properties, which are crucial to the quality of meat products. This study prepared MP-glucose conjugates with high degrees of grafting (DG) by continuous cyclic wet heating glycation, and explored the changes in the structural and functional properties. The determination of DG, amino acid contents and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the occurrence of glycation. The conjugates lost α-helix structures, and their intrinsic fluorescence intensity decreased while their surface hydrophobicity increased, which reflected the conformational unfolding and stretching behaviour of the molecules. Glycation resulted in a smaller particle size and lower ζ-potential, delaying molecular cross-linking during heating, thereby significantly reducing the apparent viscosity of the solutions and improving the solubility and emulsifying properties of MP. The results can provide new ideas and approaches for understanding glycation, and enrich the theoretical basis of the structure-function relationship of MP.

Abstract
A cannabidiol (CBD)-loaded oil-in-water emulsion stabilized by a whey protein (WP)-maltodextrin (MD) conjugate and rosmarinic acid (RA) complex was fabricated, and its stability characteristics were investigated under various environmental conditions. The WP-MD conjugates were formed via dry-heating. The interaction between WP and MD was assessed by browning intensity, reduced amount of free amino groups, the formation of high molecular weight components in sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE, and changes in secondary structure of whey proteins. The WP-MD-RA noncovalent complex was prepared and confirmed by fluorescence quenching and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectra. Emulsions stabilized by WP, WP-MD, and WP-RA were used as references to evaluate the effect of WP-MD-RA as a novel emulsifier. Results showed that WP-MD-RA was an effective emulsifier to produce fine droplets for a CBD-loaded emulsion and remarkably improved the pH and salt stabilities of emulsions in comparison with WP. An emulsion prepared with WP-MD-RA showed the highest protection of CBD against UV and heat-induced degradation among all emulsions. The ternary complex kept emulsions in small particle size during storage at 4°C. Data from the current study may offer useful information for designing emulsion-based delivery systems which can protect active substance against environmental stresses.

Abstract
ALA-dextran conjugates were fabricated by Maillard reaction. The conjugates had the high encapsulation efficiency on loading quercetin. The micelles showed excellent pH, ionic strength and photothermal stability. The micelles exhibited sustained release of quercetin by the resistance to enzymes. The excellent stability made the conjugates promising materials for oral delivery.
Glycated protein is a kind of promising material that can improve the bioavailability of bioactive compounds and achieve sustained release under digestion. In this study, the α-lactalbumin (ALA)-dextran conjugates synthesized by Maillard reaction were fabricated to load and protect quercetin. Quercetin-loaded micelles stabilized by the ALA-dextran conjugates 1:4 showed the smallest size (428.57 ± 5.64 nm) with highest encapsulation efficiency (94.38% ± 0.50%) of quercetin. Compared to ALA/dextran mixture complex, the conjugates-based micelles had better pH, ionic strength and photothermal stability. Furthermore, the micelles composed of the conjugates 1:2 and 1:4 showed the best controlled release effect during the simulated digestion, releasing 62.41% and 66.15% of quercetin from the total encapsulated contents, respectively, which was mainly related to the resistance of glycated ALA to the enzymes. The findings indicated that ALA-dextran conjugates could be effectively designed for the ideal delivery system of hydrophobic bioactive compounds in food industry.

Whey Protein Isolate-Xylose Maillard-Based Conjugates with Tailored Microencapsulation Capacity of Flavonoids from Yellow Onions Skins. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10111708. [PMID: 34829579 PMCID: PMC8615060 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10111708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study is to encapsulate flavonoids from yellow onion skins in whey protein isolates (WPI) and xylose (X), by Maillard-based conjugates, as an approach to improve the ability to entrap flavonoids and to develop powders with enhanced antioxidant activity. WPI (0.6%, w/v) was conjugated to X (0.3%, w/v) through the Maillard reaction at 90 °C for 120 min, in the presence of a flavonoid-enriched extract. Two variants of powders were obtained by freeze-drying. The glycation of WPI allowed a better encapsulation efficiency, up to 90.53 ± 0.29%, corresponding to a grafting degree of 30.38 ± 1.55%. The molecular modelling approach was used to assess the impact of X interactions with α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin on the ability of these proteins to bind the main flavonoids from the yellow onion skins. The results showed that X might compete with quercetin glucosides to bind with α-lactalbumin. No interference was found in the case of β-lactoglobulin. The microstructural appearance of the powders revealed finer spherosomes in powder with WPI-X conjugates via the Maillard reaction. The powders were added to nachos, followed by a phytochemical characterization, in order to test their potential added value. An increase in antioxidant activity was observed, with no significant changes during storage.

Novel Fabrication of Zein-Soluble Soybean Polysaccharide Nanocomposites Induced by Multifrequency Ultrasound, and Their Roles on Microstructure, Rheological Properties and Stability of Pickering Emulsions. Gels 2021; 7:gels7040166. [PMID: 34698201 PMCID: PMC8544383 DOI: 10.3390/gels7040166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2021] [Revised: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In this work, soluble soybean polysaccharides (SSPS) were employed together with multifrequency ultrasound to fabricate zein nanocomposites which were conducive to enhancing the stability of high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). Compared with non-ultrasonic treated zein colloidal particle samples (132.23 ± 0.85 nm), the zein nanoparticles samples induced by dual-frequency ultrasound exhibited a smaller particle size (114.54 ± 0.23 nm). Furthermore, the particle size of the zein composite nanoparticles (256.5 ± 4.81) remarkably increased with SPSS coating, consequently leading to larger fluorescence intensity together with lower zeta-potential (-21.90 ± 0.46 mv) and surface hydrophobicity (4992.15 ± 37.28). Meanwhile, zein-SSPS composite nanoparticles induced by DFU showed remarkably enhanced thermal stability. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy were also used to characterize zein-SSPS composite nanoparticles. The results confirmed that DFU combined with SSPS treatment significantly increased β-sheets (from 12.60% ± 0.25 b to 21.53% ± 0.37 c) and reduced α-helix content (34.83% ± 0.71 b to 23.86% ± 0.66 a) remarkably. Notably, HIPEs prepared from zein-SSPS nanocomposites induced by dual-frequency simultaneous ultrasound (DFU) at 40/60 kHz showed better storage stability. HIPEs stabilized by DFU induced zein-SSPS nanoparticles exhibited higher storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G″), leading to lower fluidity, together with better stability contributing to the water-binding capacity and three-dimensional (3D) network structure of the HIPEs emulsion. The findings of this study indicate that this method can be utilized and integrated to further extend the application of zein and SSPS and explore HIPEs.
