Abstract
Pasteurization is necessary during the production of liquid egg whites (LEW), but the thermal effects in pasteurization could cause an unavoidable loss of foaming properties of LEW. This study intended to investigate the mechanism of pasteurization processing affects the foam performance of LEW. The foaming capacity (FC) of LEW deteriorated significantly (ΔFCmax = 72.33 %) and foaming stability (FS) increased slightly (ΔFSmax = 3.64 %) under different temperature-time combinations of pasteurization conditions (P < 0.05). The increased turbidity and the decreased solubility together with the decreased absolute value of Zeta potential indicated the generation of thermally induced aggregates and the instability of the protein particles, Rheological characterization demonstrated improved viscoelasticity in pasteurization liquid egg whites (PLEW), explaining enhanced FS. The study revealed that loss in foaming properties of PLEW resulted from thermal-induced protein structural changes and aggregation, particularly affecting FC. This provided a theoretical reference for the production and processing of LEW products.

Wan Y, Xu Z, Zhu S, Zhou Y, Lü X, Shan Y. Dynamic changes in the aggregation-depolymerization behavior of Ovomucin-Complex and its binding to urease during in vitro simulated gastric digestion. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132295. [PMID: 38735615 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132295] [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: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Ovomucin-Complex extracted from egg white is expected to have a barrier function similar to gastric mucin. In this study, the dynamic changes in structure, rheological properties and binding ability of Ovomucin-Complex during in vitro simulated gastric digestion were investigated. The results from HPLC and CLSM showed that extremely acidic pH (pH = 2.0) promoted Ovomucin-Complex to form aggregation. Acid-induced aggregation may hinder its binding to pepsin, thus rendering Ovomucin-Complex resistant to pepsin. Consequently, most of the polymer structure and weak gel properties of Ovomucin-Complex retained after simulated gastric digestion as verified by HPLC, CLSM and rheological measurement, although there was a small breakdown of the glycosidic bond as confirmed by the increased content of reducing sugar. The significantly reduced hydrophobic interactions of Ovomucin-Complex were observed under extremely acidic conditions and simulated gastric digestion compared with the native. Noticeably, the undigested Ovomucin-Complex after simulated gastric digestion showed a higher affinity (KD = 5.0 ± 3.2 nm) for urease - the key surface antigen of Helicobacter pylori. The interaction mechanism between Ovomucin-Complex and urease during gastric digestion deserves further studies. This finding provides a new insight to develop an artificial physical mucus barrier to reduce Helicobacter pylori infection.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to elucidate the different effects and difference mechanism of gelling properties among egg white (EW) treated with different heating intensities and the composite addition of rhamnolipid and soybean lecithin. Particle size analyzer, potentiometric analyzer, surface hydrophobicity method, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques were used to determine the physicochemical properties and molecular structure, respectively. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetic resonance imaging, texture profile analysis, and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to analyze the gelling properties and gel structure, respectively. And we illuminate the different mechanisms in the gelling properties of the EW with various treatments and key internal factors that play important roles in improving gelling properties by establishing the link between the gelling properties and relevant characteristics by mixed effects model and visual network analysis. The results indicate raising the content of rhamnolipid decreased the migration of immobilized water in the EW gel and the free water content. At the heating intensities of 55 °C/3.5, 65 °C/2.5, and 67 °C/1.5 min, with an increase in rhamnolipid, the gel's cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness gradually increased. The mixed effects model indicated that heating intensities and composite ratios have a 2-way interaction on zeta potential, the relaxation time of bound water (T21), the content of bound water (P21), the content of immobilized water (P22), and fractal dimension (df) attributes (P < 0.05). The visual network analysis showed that the protein solubility, the relaxation time of immobilized water (T22), surface hydrophobicity, zeta potential, average particle size (d43) and the relaxation time of free water (T23) are critical contributors to the different gelling properties of EW subjected to various treatments and the improvement of gelling properties. This study will provide theoretical guidance for the development of egg white products and the expansion of egg white's application scope in the egg product processing industry.

Huang X, Li X, Zhang Y, Li X, Zhang P, Song H, Huang Q, Fu G. Influence mechanisms of linoleic acid and oleic acid on the gel properties of egg yolk protein. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024. [PMID: 38567870 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gel property is among the crucial functional properties of egg yolk (EY), which determines the texture and flavor of EY products. In the present study, the effects of two unsaturated fatty acids [monounsaturated fatty acid oleic acid (OA) and diunsaturated fatty acid linoleic acid (LA)] on the gel properties of EY protein were investigated. RESULTS Compared with the blank group, the addition of LA and OA (10-50 g kg-1) improved the gel hardness (from 270.54 g to 385.85 g and 414.38 g, respectively) and viscosity coefficient (from 0.015 Pa.sn to 11.892 Pa.sn and 1.812 Pa.sn, respectively). The surface hydrophobicity of EY protein increased to a maximum value of 40 g kg-1 with the addition of both fatty acids (39.06 μg and 41.58 μg, respectively). However, excess unsaturated fatty acids (≥ 50 g kg-1) disrupted the completeness of the gel matrix and weakened the structural properties of the EY gel. CONCLUSION Both fatty acids improved the gel properties of EY protein. At the same addition level, OA was superior to LA in improving gel properties. The present study provides a theoretical underpinning for the sensible application of unsaturated fatty acids in improving EY gel properties. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The gel structure of boiled, shelled egg yolk is formed by the accumulation of yolk spheres, which are rich in lipids and proteins, and investigating the properties of the lipid-protein complex gel structure of the yolk sphere under heating is important. In this study, we used SEM and CLSM to confirm lipid migration and protein aggregation. We observed that during the heating process, the thermal stability decreased, and there was an increase in the content of β-turns and the degrees of freedom of water and lipids. G' increased during the frequency sweep but decreased after heating for 120 min. The various yolk gel structures exhibited varying degrees of resistance to compression from external forces. Prolonged heating resulted in the presence of gaps and increased surface roughness of the spheres. In conclusion, heating induced lipid migration and protein aggregation in the sphere microgels, thereby altering the structural properties of the gels.

Abstract
Chicken egg whites (whole egg white, EW; thick egg white, TKEW; thin egg white, TNEW) become turbid and are accompanied by the formation of precipitates after being diluted with an equal mass of deionized water. The precipitates of TKEW induced by water dilution (Thick Egg White Precipitates, TKEWP) account for 14.47 % of TKEW total dry matter, much higher than that of thin egg white precipitates (TNEWP) (1.51 %) and whole egg white precipitates (EWP) (5.53 %). Quantitative proteomic analysis identified 27 differentially abundant proteins (p < 0.05) among EW, EWP, TNEWP, and TKEWP. Lysozyme was found to be a key protein in the formation of EW precipitates induced by water dilution, as its abundance was significantly higher in TNEWP and TKEWP. Mucin-5B (α-ovomucin) had the highest abundance in TKEWP, suggesting that its insolubility is one of the important factors contributing to the large formation of TKEWP. This paper systematically studies the formation, characteristics, and composition of egg white precipitation caused by water dilution, and puts forward a new understanding of the processing characteristics of egg white liquid, thus laying a theoretical foundation for further research methods to reduce egg white precipitation by water dilution.

Abstract
Natural fiber is not suitable for modifying yolk gel as a modifier because of its large size and high compactness. In this study, two kinds of modified cellulose were selected to improve the thermal gel properties of yolk. The results showed that the two kinds of cellulose promoted the formation of ordered structure in yolk gel. The ordered gel network not only improved the texture properties and rheological properties, but also improved the water retention of yolk gel significantly. CMC and CNFC at the same concentration, the modification effect of CMC on yolk gel was better than CNFC because of its excellent dispersion. However, high concentration of CNFC (1.20-1.60%) disrupted the cross-linking and ordered structure formation of yolk protein, and the quality of gel was significantly reduced.

Abstract
Ovalbumin (OVA), characterized by its high concentration in eggs, possesses remarkable foaming properties. Nevertheless, OVA is highly sensitive to thermal changes and acid-base conditions, substantially hampering its application potential for foaming purposes within the food industry. This experiment aimed to examine the effects of preheating and high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) treatment at different powers on OVA foaming properties and explore the underlying mechanisms. The results revealed that OVA exhibited the highest foaming capacity (31.5 %) and foaming stability (96.7 %) under the treatment condition of 200w + 60°C. Additionally, significant improvements were observed in the content of free sulfhydryl groups (37.27 μmg/g), solution viscosity (142.33 mPa·s), and surface hydrophobicity (37.27 μg BPB) under this condition. The absolute value of the zeta potential (-10.28 mV) was significantly increased in the 200w + 60°C treatment group. Moreover, the polymer dispersity index of OVA (0.6045) was significantly reduced, resulting in improved dispersion than the control group. The structural analysis revealed significant changes in the α-helix and β-sheet content of OVA after treatment at 200w + 60 °C. The X-ray diffraction pattern exhibited sharper peaks, indicating a crystal structure, and the fluorescence peak displayed a slight blue shift along with increased hydrophobicity. Moreover, the preheating and HIU treatment induced a continuous uneven and irregular pore structure in OVA, which ultimately enhanced its foaming properties. In conclusion, the preheating and HIU treatment offers a novel approach to enhance the foaming properties of OVA.

Abstract
As a weakly gelling protein, hot spring egg white underwent thinning during storage. This study explored the mechanism of thinning in hot spring egg white from the perspective of "gel structure and protein composition" using quantitative proteomics, SEM, SDS-PAGE, and other techniques. Quantitative proteomics analysis showed that there were 81 (44 up-regulated and 21 down-regulated) key proteins related to thinning of hot spring egg white. The changes in the relative abundance of proteins such as ovalbumin-related Y, mucin-6, lysozyme, ovomucoid, and ovotransferrin might be important reasons for thinning in hot spring egg white. SEM results indicated that the gel network gradually became regular and uniform, with large pores appearing on the cross-section and being pierced. Along with the decrease in intermolecular electrostatic repulsion, protein molecules gradually aggregated. The particle size gradually increased from 139.1 nm to 422.5 nm. Meanwhile, the surface hydrophobicity, and disulfide bond content gradually increased. These changes might be the reasons for thinning in hot spring egg white during storage. It can provide a new perspective for studying the thinning mechanism of weakly gelling egg whites.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) is a key target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is possible that peptides that precisely regulate DPP-IV could be released from coix seed prolamins (CSP), but whether this happens has not yet been investigated. We performed the in silico digestion of CSP and predicted the bioactivity, absorption, transport, toxicity, and allergenicity of the resulting peptides. The simulation predicted that 47 non-toxic bioactive peptides would be released. After screening these, we found that 64.58% of them could possess DPP-IV inhibitory activity. The effect of thermal processing on the amino acid composition and structural properties of CSP was determined, and the DPP-IV inhibitory activity of its digestion-derived peptides was also assessed. The results showed that processing could change the flavour of coix seed and the supply of amino acids. After processing, the spatial conformation of CSP changed from ordered to disordered, and the peptide content and the DPP-IV inhibitory activity of its digestion products significantly increased by 19.89-30.91% and 36.84-42.02%, respectively. These results support the hypothesis that processing can change the protein structure and increase the probability that bioactive peptides will be released. They also have important implications for the development of bioactive peptides and the intensive processing of coix seeds.

[PMID: 37201471 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136380] [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: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
This study explored the effect of yolk sphere on gel state and taste differences between whole boiled egg yolk (WBEY) and stirred boiled egg yolks (SBEYs). Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) indicated that the WBEY was formed via the accumulation of yolk spheres, whereas the SBEY was a gel with a tight and ordered microstructure. The stirring disrupted the yolk sphere structure, leading to a homogeneous distribution of proteins and lipids in SBEYs, and a cross-linked network in gel was established with higher hardness and springiness. In the oral sensation simulation, WBEY had a higher saliva adsorption capacity and frictional force to oral soft tissue during swallowing than SBEY. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of the gel structure and taste of egg yolk, and provides a theoretical basis for the research on the formation of the gritty taste of egg yolks.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 233:123560. [PMID: 36746301 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
In this study, ovalbumins (OVAs) were glycosylated with fructo-oligosaccharide (FO) at different temperatures (80 °C, 100 °C, 120 °C, and 140 °C) and durations (1 h and 2 h) via wet-heating. The glycosylated OVAs (GOVAs) were characterized by the degree of glycosylation (DG), particle size, zeta potentials, and structural changes. GOVAs-stabilized high-internal-phase emulsions (HIPEs) were then prepared to compare their macro- and microstructure and freeze-thaw stability. The results showed that the DG of GOVAs increased with the increase in glycosylation temperature and the protein structure unfolded with it. Glycosylation decreased the particle size, zeta potential, and α-helical structures and increased the β-sheets and surface hydrophobicity (H0) of GOVAs compared with unmodified OVAs. Moreover, GOVAs-stabilized HIPEs exhibited smaller particle sizes, zeta potentials, agglomeration indexes, oil loss rates, and freezing points and higher viscoelasticity, centrifugal stabilities, flocculation indexes, and freeze-thaw stabilities. Notably, HIPEs prepared by GOVAs (glycosylated higher than 120 °C) showed the least changes in macro- and microscopic appearances after freeze-thawing. These findings will provide a novel method for improving and broadening the functionalities of OVAs and potentially develop HIPEs with enhanced freeze-thaw stabilities.

Abstract
Amandin (AMP) binding to EGCG changed protein structure. AMP bound to EGCG primarily through glutamate and cysteine residues. Alkaline and free radical methods dented AMP allergenic, but the principles differed.
Potential allergenicity of amandin was reduced by binding amandin with (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) via alkaline, free radical, ultrasound-assisted alkaline, and ultrasound-assisted free radical methods. These results of total phenol content, free sulfhydryl group, free amino group, surface hydrophobicity, and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) indicated that amandin might be covalently bound to EGCG through reactive groups such as sulfhydryl and amino groups, or non-covalently through hydrophobic interactions. Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy revealed structural changes of amandin-EGCG conjugate, which also caused significant reduction in potential allergenicity of amandin. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) found that amandin bound to EGCG mainly through cysteine and glutamate residues, and linear epitope for amandin was reduced. This provided a new method and theoretical basis of hypoallergenic almond food.

Formation mechanism of high-viscosity gelatinous egg white among "Fenghuang Egg": Phenomenon, structure, and substance composition. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 217:803-813.

Abstract
"Fenghuang Egg" is a special egg product incubated for 12 days by fertilized hen eggs. Its egg white contains high-viscosity and excellent thermal gel strength. A comparative study on the differences in gel properties, structure, and substance composition between fresh egg white (FEW) and "Fenghuang egg" gelatinous egg white (GEW) was carried out. Experimental results showed GEW had better apparent viscosity, as well as the hardness, cohesiveness and water holding capacity (WHC) of thermal gel; the content and size of aggregate structure increased significantly in GEW, and a fibrous dense network composed of numerous spherical nanoparticles connected in series was formed after heating. In addition, it also discovered that more water molecules in GEW existed in the form of bound water. A total of 41 proteins changed significantly in FEW and GEW, Mucin 6 might be the main reason for the enhanced viscosity of GEW, and OVA might be the dominant protein differentiating the thermal gel properties between FEW and GEW. This study revealed that the differences in gel properties and structures between FEW and GEW were closely related to the content of highly glycosylated globular proteins, laying a theoretical foundation for the application of high-viscosity egg whites.

Thermal Processing of Liquid Egg Yolks Modulates Physio-Chemical Properties of Mayonnaise. Foods 2022; 11:foods11101426.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of various heating temperatures (61−70 °C) and times (1−10 min) on physical and chemical properties of liquid egg yolk (LEY) and mayonnaise were investigated. Initially, we found that the increase of LEY protein denaturation was highly correlated with the increase of temperature and time, without causing either protein degradation or aggregation. In addition, the viscosity and particle size of LEY were significantly increased with greater heating temperature and time. Furthermore, the emulsification stability of mayonnaise prepared from thermally processed LEY were significantly better than that of the unheated control group, in particular, the emulsion stability of mayonnaise was higher at a temperature ranging from 62 °C to 68 °C, whereas the emulsion stability decreased above 69 °C. A rheological analysis showed that mayonnaise prepared from thermally processed LEY has higher shear stress when compared with the control group. Indeed, a sharp increase in the shear stress was observed when LEY was heated above 67 °C. Results from storage behavior analysis suggest that mayonnaise prepared from thermally processed LEY failed to affect the chemical qualities of mayonnaise, as evidenced by the fact that acid values and TBA values were not statistically significant with the unheated control group. Microscopic observation indicates that the number of complete oil droplets were significantly reduced at higher heating (70 °C/5 and 10 min) conditions. Finally, the sensory evaluation results suggest that mayonnaise prepared from thermally processed LEY does not influence the appearance, aroma, taste, greasy feeling, and overall acceptance of mayonnaise, as indicated by there being no significant differences between the experimental group and the control group (p > 0.05). We conclude from our study that a combination of heating conditions over 67 °C/5 min can allow the mayonnaise to retain better quality in terms of stability.

Effects of "nine steaming nine sun-drying" on proximate composition, protein structure and volatile compounds of black soybeans. Food Res Int 2022; 155:111070.

Abstract
Nine steaming nine sun-drying is a traditional processing technology for food or medicinal materials. The dynamic changes of the proximate composition, protein structure and volatile compounds during nine-time steaming and sun-drying of black soybeans (BS) were studied. The proximate composition results showed that the content of protein, carbohydrate and fat of BS decreased after processing, whereas the relative content of amino acids remained basically unchanged. Protein structure was evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy (UV) and Fluorescence spectroscopy. FT-IR result revealed that the relative contents of β-sheet and β-turn of the secondary structure of black soybean protein isolate (BSPI) decreased but the relative contents of α-helix and random coil increased after steaming and sun-drying. The results of UV and fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed changes in the protein conformation. In addition, SPME-GCMS analysis demonstrated that hydrocarbons, alcohols and aldehydes were the main volatile compounds. The relative contents of 1-octen-3-ol and hexanal, which are the main sources of beany flavor decreased significantly compared with raw BS. Principal component analysis (PCA) results showed that the volatile compounds of nine steamed and nine sun-dried BS could be well distinguished during the process. These findings may therefore provide a scientific basis for the application of nine-time steamed and sun-dried BS in food industry and contribute to the understanding of process-induced chemical transformations in this ancient processing technique.
