Int J Biol Macromol 2024:133596. [PMID: 38960269 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133596] [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: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
In order to investigate the effect of glucono-δ-lactone (GDL) and different salt ions (Na+ and Ca2+) induction on the cold-set gels of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-arabinoxylan (AX), the gel properties and structure of BSA-AX cold-set gels were evaluated by analyzing the gel strength, water-holding capacity, thermal properties, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra. It was shown that the best gel strength (109.15 g) was obtained when the ratio of BSA to AX was 15:1. The addition of 1 % GDL significantly improved the water-holding capacity, gel strength and thermal stability of the cold-set gels (p < 0.05), and the microstructure was smoother. Low concentrations of Na+ (3 mM) and Ca2+ (6 mM) significantly enhanced the hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding between BSA and AX after acid induction, and the Na+-induced formation of a denser microstructure with a higher water-holding capacity (75.51 %). However, the excess salt ions disrupted the stable network structure of the cold-set gels and reduced their thermal stability and crystalline structure. The results of this study contribute to the understanding of the interactions between BSA and AX induced by GDL and salt ions, and provide a basis for designing hydrogels with different properties.

[PMID: 38823873 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114494] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Pores and bubbles significantly influence the physical attributes (like texture, density, and structural integrity), organoleptic properties, and shelf life of processed foods. Hence, the quality of foods and their acceptance by the consumers could be influenced by the properties and prevalence of pores and bubbles within the food structure. Considering the importance of pores, this review aimed to comprehensively discuss the factors and mechanisms involved in the generation of pores and bubbles during the processing of different food products. Moreover, the characteristics and effects of pores on the properties of chocolates, cheeses, cereal-based foods (like cake, puffed grains, and pasta), dried, and fried products were discussed. The impacts of bubbles on the quality of foam-based products, foam creamers, and beverages were also explored. This review concludes that intrinsic factors (like food compositions, initial moisture content, and porosity) and extrinsic factors (like applied technologies, processing, and storage conditions) affect various properties of the pores and bubbles including their number, size, orientation, and distribution. These factors collectively shape the overall structure and quality of processed food products such as density, texture (hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness), and water holding capacity. The desirability or undesirability of pores and their characteristics depends on the type of products; hence, some practical hints were provided to mitigate their adverse effects or to enhance their formation in foods. For example, pores could increase the nutrient digestion and reduce the shelf life of the products by enhancing the risk of fat oxidation and microbial growth. In conclusion, this study provides a valuable resource for food scientists and industry professionals by discussing the effects of pores on food preservation, heat, and mass transfer (including oxygen, moisture, flavors, and nutrients). Understanding the dynamic changes in porosity during processing will be effective in customization of final product quality with desired attributes, ensuring tailored outcomes for specific applications.

Mechanism of ultrasound-induced soybean/egg white composite gelation: Gel properties, morphological structure and co-aggregation kinetics. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131267. [PMID: 38556233 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131267] [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: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
This study aims to develop ultrasound-assisted acid-induced egg white protein (EWP)-soy protein isolate (SPI) composite gels and to investigate the mechanistic relationship between the co-aggregation behavior of composite proteins and gel properties through aggregation kinetics monitored continuously by turbidity. The results showed that the inclusion of EWP caused the attenuation of gel properties and maximum aggregation (Amax) because EWP could aggregate with SPI at a higher rate (Kapp), which impeded the interaction between SPI and the formation of a continuous gelling network. In the EWP-dominated system, SPI with higher molecular weights also increased the fractal dimension of gels. Ultrasound improved properties of composite gels, especially the SPI-dominated system. After ultrasound treatment, the small, uniform size of co-aggregates and the decrease in potential led to an increase in the aggregation rate and formation of dense particles, consistent with an increase in gelation rate and texture properties. Excessively fast aggregation generated coarse chains and more pores. Still, the exposure of free sulfhydryl groups assisted the gel structure units to form a compact network through disulfide bonding. On the whole, the study could provide theoretical support for a deeper understanding on the interaction mechanism and gelation of composite proteins.

Abstract
The cold-set gels of oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by mixtures of whey protein isolate (WPI) and pea protein isolate (PPI) with mass ratios of 10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, and 0:10 were investigated to evaluate the possibility of pea protein to replace milk protein. Particle size and surface charge of emulsions increased and decreased with raised PPI content, respectively. The redness and yellowness of emulsion gels were strengthened with elevated pea protein percentage and independent of calcium concentration applied. Considerable differences in water holding capacity were observed between samples with different mixed proteins and high percentage of pea protein gave better water retaining ability. Gradual decreases in hardness and chewiness of emulsion gels were observed at three calcium levels with the increased PPI proportion. FT-IR spectra indicated no new covalent bonds were generated between samples with different whey and pea protein mass ratios. As PPI concentration elevated, the network structure of emulsion gels gradually became loose and disordered. The established cold-set calcium-induced whey/pea protein composite gels may have the potential to be utilized as a new material to encapsulate and deliver environment sensitive bio-active substances.

Mechanistic insights into gel formation of egg-based yoghurt: The dynamic changes in physicochemical properties, microstructure, and intermolecular interactions during fermentation. Food Res Int 2023; 172:113097.

Abstract
This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of acid-induced gelation in egg-based yoghurt by investigating the dynamic changes in physicochemical properties, texture, rheology, and microstructure of the gel during fermentation, combined with the role of intermolecular forces in gel formation. Results showed that protein aggregation and cross-linking increased as pH decreased during fermentation. Gel hardness increased with fermentation, eventually reaching 11.36 g, while maintaining low fracturability. Water holding capacity (WHC) decreased from 91.77% to 73.13% during fermentation. Rheological testing demonstrated a significant increase in viscosity and dynamic moduli (G' and G''), consistent with the observation of a more compact microstructure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and particle size analysis. Furthermore, dynamic changes of surface hydrophobicity, sulfhydryl content, and intermolecular forces suggested that hydrophobic interactions were likely the main driving force for gel formation, as well as that hydrophobic interactions and disulfide bonds played an important role in the maintenance and construction of the gel network structure. Although ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds also had an effect on the gel formation of egg-based yoghurt, their contributions were not significant. The study provided new insights for the development of novel egg-based fermentation foods and the research of acid-induced protein gels, and also contributed to the deep exploitation and utilization of poultry eggs.

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
Protein-polyphenol interactions can improve the physicochemical properties of proteins. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of rose anthocyanin extracts (RAEs) on the physicochemical properties and digestibility of whey protein isolate (WPI) sol/gel at different pHs and protein concentrations. Hydrophobicity interaction and ionic bonding were the main forces for the formation of acidic WPI and WPI-RAEs sol/gel. When pH was higher than 2.4, sol/gel became unstable, which may be related to hydrophobicity, ζ-potential value, total sulfhydryl and free sulfhydryl content changes. In addition, RAEs had positive effects on the color and water distribution of all WPI sol/gel. Moreover, RAEs improved the viscoelasticity of WPI sol/gel with protein content ≥ 12 % (w/v) at pH 2.4. More importantly, the addition of RAEs could reduce the digestibility of WPI sol/gel. We hope our works can provide promising strategies for developing WPI-RAEs foods.

Effect of high intensity ultrasonic treatment on structural, rheological, and gelling properties of potato protein isolate and its co-gelation properties with egg white protein.

[PMID: 36789854 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16495] [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: 06/24/2022] [Revised: 01/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the effect of high intensity ultrasonic (HIU) treatment at different times (0, 10, 20, and 30 min) on the structure and gel properties of water-soluble potato protein isolate (WPPI) and to further investigate the improvement of gel properties of ultrasonicated WPPI (UWPPI) by the addition of egg white protein (EWP). HIU reduced the particle size of WPPI, whose structure became loose and disordered, which improved gelling properties of UWPPI. Fourier transform infrared results indicated that α-helix content decreased, whereas the proportion of irregular curl increased with the increase in ultrasonication time (0-20 min), indicating that the initially ordered structure of UWPPI became disordered. After HIU treatment, the free sulfhydryl groups of UWPPI and surface hydrophobicity decreased and fluorescence intensity increased. These results demonstrated that the HIU loosened the structure of UWPPI, exposing more chromogenic groups while embedding more hydrophilic groups. After thermal induction, UWPPI gel hardness increased and exhibited excellent water holding capacity. After the addition of EWP, rheological properties stabilized, and the hardness of UWPPI-EWP gels increased significantly, forming internally structured protein gels with a tightly ordered structure and increased brightness. Thus, HIU changed the structure and gelling properties of WPPI, and the addition of EWP further enhanced the performance of hybrid protein gels. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: High intensity ultrasonic changed the structure of water-soluble potato protein isolate (WPPI) and improved the properties of WPPI gels. The addition of egg white protein significantly improved the quality of mixed protein gels which showed great potential industrial value.

Abstract
Egg white protein is a non-toxic and biodegradable biopolymer that forms a gel easily via simple thermal denaturation treatment. A novel aerogel on the basis of egg white protein crosslinked with graphene oxide was prepared via a facile freeze-drying method. The structure and physicochemical characteristics of the aerogels were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. The adsorption properties of the aerogels were investigated by studying the influencing factors such as the solution pH, dose, temperature and contact time. The adsorption capacity of methylene blue onto the aerogels was tested, whose maximum adsorption capacity, calculated by the Langmuir isotherm equation, reached 91.7 mg/g. Adsorption kinetics studies showed that the adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamic data implied that methylene blue adsorbed by the aerogels was an exothermic and spontaneous process.
