Abstract
Protein binding to bile salts (BSs) reduces cholesterol levels, but the exact mechanism is unclear. In this study, we performed simulated gastrointestinal digestion of egg white protein hydrolysate (EWPHs) and included an unenzyme digestion group (CK) to investigate the changes in BSs binding capacity before and after digestion, as well as the relationship between egg white protein (EWP) structure and BSs binding capacity. In addition, peptidomics and molecular docking were used to clarify EWP's binding mechanism. We found that the BSs binding ability of EWPHs was slightly decreased after digestion, but significantly higher than that of the CK group and the digested CK group (D-CK). Particle size analysis and electrophoresis demonstrated that smaller particles and lower molecular weights exhibited enhanced binding capacity to BSs. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results revealed that a disordered structure favored BS binding ability enhancement. Peptides FVLPM and GGGVW displayed hypocholesterolemic efficacy.

Abstract
This study aimed to modify plant protein mixture to improve their functionality and digestibility by limited hydrolysis. Soy protein isolate and corn zein were mixed at the ratio of 5:1 (w/w), followed by limited hydrolysis using papain from 15 to 30 min. The structural characteristics, in vitro digestibility, and functional properties were evaluated. Also, DPPH radical scavenging activity was determined. The results indicated that the molecular weight of different modified samples was largely reduced by limited hydrolysis, and the proportion of random coil was significantly increased. Furthermore, the solubility, foaming, emulsifying and water-holding capacity of hydrolyzed protein mixture were significantly improved, which were close to those of whey protein isolate. In vitro digestibility after 30-min limited hydrolysis was remarkably elevated. In addition, the hydrolyzed protein mixture exhibited a higher antioxidant activity than those of untreated proteins. Overall, limited hydrolysis of protein mixture led to improved digestibility, functionality and antioxidant activity.

[PMID: 38899487 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Walnut protein (WP) is recognized as a valuable plant protein. However, the poor solubility and functional properties limit its application in the food industry. It is a great requirement to improve the physicochemical properties of WP. RESULTS Following a 90 min restricted enzymatic hydrolysis period, the solubility of WP significantly increased from 3.24% to 54.54%, with the majority of WP hydrolysates (WPHs) possessing a molecular weight exceeding 50 kDa. Circular dichroism spectra showed that post-hydrolysis, the structure of the protein became more flexible, while the hydrolysis time did not significantly alter the protein's secondary structure. After hydrolysis, WP's surface hydrophobicity significantly increased from 2279 to 6100. Furthermore, WPHs exhibited a strong capacity for icariin loading and micelle formation with critical micelle concentration values of 0.71, 0.99 and 1.09 mg mL-1, respectively. Moreover, similar immuno-enhancement activities were observed in WPHs. After exposure to WPHs, the pinocytosis of RAW264.7 macrophages was significantly improved. WPH treatment also increased the production of nitric oxide, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in macrophages. Up-regulation of mRNA expressions of IL-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and TNF-α was observed in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION The enhancement of functionality and bioactivity in WP can be achieved through the application of limited enzyme digestion with trypsin. This process effectively augments the nutritional value and utility of the protein, making it a valuable component in various dietary applications. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Foods 2024; 13:1800. [PMID: 38928742 PMCID: PMC11203182 DOI: 10.3390/foods13121800] [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: 05/16/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The low rehydration properties of commercial soy protein powder (SPI), a major plant-based food ingredient, have limited the development of plant-based foods. The present study proposes a treatment of soy lecithin modification combined with Alcalase hydrolysis to improve the rehydration of soy protein powder, as well as other processing properties (emulsification, viscosity). The results show that the soy protein-soy lecithin complex powder, which is hydrolyzed for 30 min (SPH-SL-30), has the smallest particle size, the smallest zeta potential, the highest surface hydrophobicity, and a uniform microstructure. In addition, the value of the ratio of the α-helical structure/β-folded structure was the smallest in the SPH-SL-30. After measuring the rehydration properties, emulsification properties, and viscosity, it was found that the SPH-SL-30 has the shortest wetting time of 3.04 min, the shortest dispersion time of 12.29 s, the highest solubility of 93.17%, the highest emulsifying activity of 32.42 m2/g, the highest emulsifying stability of 98.33 min, and the lowest viscosity of 0.98 pa.s. This indicates that the treatment of soy lecithin modification combined with Alcalase hydrolysis destroys the structure of soy protein, changes its physicochemical properties, and improves its functional properties. In this study, soy protein was modified by the treatment of soy lecithin modification combined with Alcalase hydrolysis to improve the processing characteristics of soy protein powders and to provide a theoretical basis for its high-value utilization in the plant-based food field.

Effect of high moisture extrusion on the structure and physicochemical properties of Tartary buckwheat protein and its in vitro digestion. Food Res Int 2024; 180:114065. [PMID: 38395582 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114065] [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: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
Tartary buckwheat is rich in nutrients and its protein supports numerous biological functions. However, the digestibility of Tartary buckwheat protein (TBP) poses a significant limitation owing to its inherent structure. This study aimed to assess the impact of high moisture extrusion (HME, 60 % moisture content) on the structural and physicochemical attributes, as well as the in vitro digestibility of TBP. Our results indicated that TBP exhibited unfolded and amorphous microstructures after HME. The protein molecular weight of TBP decreased after HME, and a greater degradation was observed at 70 °C than 100 °C. In particular, HME at 70 °C caused an almost complete disappearance of bands near 35 kDa compared with HME at 100 °C. In addition, compared with native TBP (NTBP, 44.53 µmol/g protein), TBP subjected to HME at 70 °C showed a lower disulfide bond (SS) content (42.67 µmol/g protein), whereas TBP subjected to HME at 100 °C demonstrated a higher SS content (45.70 µmol/g protein). These changes endowed TBP with good solubility (from 55.96 % to 83.31 % at pH 7), foaming ability (20.00 %-28.57 %), and surface hydrophobicity (8.34-23.07). Furthermore, the emulsifying activity (EA) and in vitro digestibility are closely related to SS content. Notably, extruded TBP (ETBP) obtained at 70 °C exhibited higher EA and digestibility than NTBP, whereas ETBP obtained at 100 °C showed the opposite trend. Consequently, HME (especially at 70 °C) demonstrated significant potential as a processing technique for improving the functional and digestive properties of TBP.

Influence of heat treatment before and/or after high-pressure homogenization on the structure and emulsification properties of soybean protein isolate. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127411. [PMID: 37838131 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 09/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/16/2023]
Abstract
This study investigates the effects of heat treatment before high-pressure homogenization (HHPH) and heat treatment after high-pressure homogenization (HPHH) at different pressures (20, 60, and 100 MPa) on the structural and emulsification properties of soy protein isolate (SPI). The results indicate that HHPH treatment increases the surface hydrophobicity (H0) of the SPI, reduces β-fold and irregular curls, leading to the formation of soluble aggregates, increased adsorbed protein content, and subsequent improvements in emulsification activity index (EAI) and emulsion stability index (ESI). In contrast, the HPHH treatment promoted the exchange of SH/SS bonds between protein molecules and facilitated the interaction of basic peptides and β-subunits, leading to larger particle sizes of the soluble aggregates compared to the HHPH-treated samples. However, excessive aggregation in HPHH-treated aggregates leads to decreased H0 and adsorbed protein content, and increased interfacial tension, negatively affecting the emulsification properties. Compared to the HPHH treatment, HHPH treatment at homogenization pressures of 20 to 100 MPa increases EAI and ESI by 5.81-29.6 % and 5.31-25.9 %, respectively. These findings provide a fundamental basis for soybean protein manufacturers to employ appropriate processing procedures aimed at improving emulsification properties.

Abstract
This study was performed to examine the effect of two soy peptides addition with hydrolysis degrees of 90% and 30% (hydrolysis degree (DH)90, DH30) at various concentrations (1-10 mg/mL) on soy protein isolate (SPI) gel behavior and pure SPI gel was set as control. SPI gels with adding peptides were prepared, and their rheological, textural, and tribological properties, as well as water-holding capacity, zeta potential, and particle size, were determined. During the rheological measurement, adding peptides reduced storage modulus (G') compared to the control, with larger particles formed. However, peptide addition could significantly reduce gelation time, showing a more significant effect with DH30. The gels' firmness, adhesiveness, and water-holding capacity decreased as peptide concentration increased. Syneresis was observed in gels with peptides, whereas the control sample showed no syneresis. Based on the rheological results, the shear stress in the control sample was higher than in the gels containing peptides indicating more resistance to shear. The gels with DH30 showed greater G' and G″ than DH90 at all studied concentrations. Nevertheless, there was an improvement in the lubrication behavior of SPI gels with peptide addition. DH30 showed a relatively more significant friction reduction than DH90, indicating their slightly better lubrication properties.

Abstract
Although tropomyosin has been identified as a major allergen in Antarctic krill, the digestive fate of Antarctic krill tropomyosin and its relationship with allergenicity are unknown. In this study, Antarctic krill tropomyosin was administered to BALB/c mice via both gavage and intraperitoneal injection to explore its sensitizing and eliciting capacity, and its digestion products were analyzed for structural changes and digestion-resistant linear epitopes. Mice gavaged with tropomyosin exhibited lower levels of specific IgE and IgG1, mast cell degranulation, vascular permeability, and anaphylaxis symptoms than those in the intraperitoneal injection group. This may be due to the destruction of macromolecular aggregates, loose expansion of the tertiary structure, complete disappearance of α-helix, and significant changes in molecular force upon the digestion of tropomyosin. Nevertheless, the intragastric administration of Antarctic krill tropomyosin still triggered strong allergic reactions, which was attributed to the existence of seven digestion-resistant linear epitopes (Glu26-His44, Thr111-Arg125, Glu157-Glu164, Glu177-Gly186, Val209-Ile225, Arg244-Arg255, and Val261-Ile270).

Abstract
Proteases (proteinases or peptidases) are a class of hydrolases that cleave peptide chains in proteins. Endopeptidases are a type of protease that hydrolyze the internal peptide bonds of proteins, forming shorter peptides; exopeptidases hydrolyze the terminal peptide bonds from the C-terminal or N-terminal, forming free amino acids. Microbial proteases are a popular instrument in many industrial applications. In this review, the classification, detection, identification, and sources of microbial proteases are systematically introduced, as well as their applications in food, detergents, waste treatment, and biotechnology processes in the industry fields. In addition, recent studies on techniques used to express heterologous microbial proteases are summarized to describe the process of studying proteases. Finally, future developmental trends for microbial proteases are discussed.

[PMID: 36825069 PMCID: PMC9941179 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.1064526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides drew wide attention in the food industry because of their natural reliability, non-toxicity, and safety. However, the characteristics of ACE inhibitory peptides obtained from protein hydrolysate of mulberry leaf prepared by Flavourzyme were still unclear. Based on the single-factor test, the Plackett-Burman test and response surface test were used to determine the key factors affecting the ACE inhibition rate in mulberry leaf protein hydrolysate and the optimum conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis. The results showed that the optimum technical parameters were as follows: the ratio of material to liquid is 1: 25 (w / v, g/mL), the Flavourzyme to substrate ratio was 3,000 U/g, the temperature of enzymatic hydrolysis was 50°C, pH was 6.3, and the time of enzymatic hydrolysis was 2.9 h. The ACE inhibitory peptides in the mulberry leaf protein hydrolysates were purified by ultrafiltration and gel filtration, aiming to obtain the highest active component. The 12 peptide sequences were identified by reverse liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and then, they were docked to the crystal structure of human angiotensin-I converting enzyme (1O8A), and the interaction mechanisms of 12 peptide sequences and 1O8A were analyzed. The docking results showed that among the 12 peptide sequences, ERFNVE (792.37 Da), TELVLK (351.72 Da), MELVLK (366.72 Da), and FDDKLD (376.67 Da), all had the lowest docking energy, and inhibition constant. The chemosynthetic ERFNVE (IC50: 2.65 mg/mL), TELVLK (IC50: 0.98 mg/mL), MELVLK (IC50:1.90 mg/mL) and FDDKLD (IC50:0.70 mg/mL) demonstrated high ACE-inhibitory activity with competitive inhibition mode. These results indicated that the ACE-inhibiting peptides from mulberry leaf protein hydrolyzed (FHMP) had the potential activities to inhibit ACE and could be used as functional food or drugs to inhibit ACE. This work provides positive support for mining the biological activity of mulberry leaves in the treatment of hypertension.

A critical review on pretreatment and detoxification techniques required for biofuel production from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 368:128316. [PMID: 36375700 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.128316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) is a widely-available promising feedstock for biofuel production. However, the presence of different inhibitors originating from fruit and food/beverage wastes as well as recalcitrant lignocellulosic fractions hampers its bioconversion. This necessitates a pretreatment to augment the biodigestibility and fermentability of OFMSW. Hence, this review aims to provide the in-vogue inhibitory compound removal and pretreatment techniques that have been employed for efficient OFMSW conversion into biofuels, i.e., hydrogen, biogas, ethanol, and butanol. The techniques are compared concerning their mode of action, chemical and energy consumption, inhibitor formation and removal, economic feasibility, and environmental sustainability. This critique also reviews the existing knowledge gap and future perspectives for efficient OFMSW valorization. The insights provided pave the way toward developing energy-resilient cities while addressing environmental crises related to generating OFMSW.

Abstract
This paper investigates the effect on the physicochemical and functional properties of soybean protein concentrate (SPC) by using Alcalase protease and high-pressure homogenization (HPH) (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 MPa) for the combined modification. The results showed that the degree of hydrolysis of SPC was 4.1% and the antigen protein was degraded after Alcalase hydrolysis, when the homogenization pressure (HP) was 6 0Mpa, the particle size of the SPC was the smallest, the zate potential absolute value up to 33.45 mV, the secondary structure has the lowest β-sheet content, the highest random coil content, and the highest surface hydrophobicity (H0), the size of protein fragments on the microstructure surface is the smallest, the lowest denaturation temperature (T d ) and enthalpy (△H) are 72.59°C and 1.35 J/g, the highest solubility is 80.54%, and the highest water and oil holding capacities are 7.73 g/g and 6.51 g/g, respectively. The best emulsifying activity and emulsifying stability were 43.46 m2/g and 190.35 min, the most even distribution of emulsion droplets. This indicates that the HPH treatment destroys the structure of enzymatic hydrolyzed SPC, changes its physicochemical properties, and improves its functional properties. In this study, SPC was modified by HPH and enzyme combined treatment, in order to improve the functionality and application range of SPC, and provide a theoretical basis for its high-value utilization in the food field.

Abstract
Heat-induced gel-assisted desalination could efficiently and inexpensively remove salt from salted egg whites. However, it was at the expense of the excellent foaming properties of egg whites, caused by the denaturation and aggregation of proteins during heating treatment. Hence, in this current work, the enzymatic treatment was used to re-endow duck egg white nanogels (DEWN) with outstanding foaming properties. We found that low levels of hydrolysis (DH = 2.27 %) could dramatically improve the foaming capability (FC), reaching >200 %, which also enhanced the foaming stability (FS). As the hydrolysis time extended, the adsorption and diffusion rate of the supernatant on the interface increased and performed high elasticity. The dilatational rheology and Lissajous plots were explored to investigate the nonlinear dilatational rheological behaviors of the air/water interface stabilized by the hydrolysed samples. Finally, we evaluated the effect of pH on foaming properties and found that the FC could exceed 250 %, and the FS was close to 80 % at pH = 5. These encouraging results showed that simple enzymatic treatment could revive nanogels from their dissatisfied foaming properties. In this work, gel-assisted desalination combined with enzyme treatment significantly promotes the high-quality and high-value utilization of salted egg white.

Extrusion Improves the Antihypertensive Potential of a Kabuli Chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) Protein Hydrolysate. Foods 2022; 11:2562. [PMID: 36076750 PMCID: PMC9455076 DOI: 10.3390/foods11172562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Revised: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Chickpea hydrolysates could have antihypertensive potential, but there are no evaluations in vivo. Thus, the antihypertensive potential of a chickpea protein hydrolysate obtained before and after extrusion (a process that modifies protein digestibility) was evaluated. Protein precipitates were obtained from extruded and unextruded chickpea flours by isoelectric precipitation and hydrolyzed (α-amylase/pepsin/pancreatin). Chemical composition was determined (standard methods). ACE-I inhibition assays were carried out using a colorimetric test. For antihypertensive effect evaluations, spontaneously hypertensive rats (n = 8) received the treatments intragastrically (extruded or unextruded hydrolysate (1.2 g/kg), captopril (25 mg/kg), or water only). Fat, ash, and carbohydrate contents were lower in extruded chickpea flour (p < 0.05 versus unextruded). The protein content varied between protein precipitates (91.03%/78.66% unextruded/extruded (dry basis)) (p < 0.05). The hydrolysates’ IC50 values (mg/mL) were 0.2834 (unextruded)/0.3218 (extruded) (p > 0.05). All treatments lowered the blood pressure (p < 0.05 vs. water). The extruded hydrolysate showed a more potent antihypertensive effect than the unextruded one (p < 0.05), an effect similar to captopril (p > 0.05). The results suggest that protein extrusion can be used to generate protein hydrolysates with improved health benefits. The findings have implications for the design and production of functional foods that could help to prevent hypertension or serve as an adjunct in its treatment.
