The effect of rice protein-polyphenols covalent and non-covalent interactions on the structure, functionality and in vitro digestion properties of rice protein. Food Chem 2024; 450:139241. [PMID: 38636382 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139241] [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: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
The characteristics of the crosslinking between rice protein (RP) and ferulic acid (FA), gallic acid (GA), or tannin acid (TA) by covalent binding of Laccase and non-covalent binding were evaluated. The RP-polyphenol complexes greatly improved the functionality of RP. The covalent effect with higher polyphenol binding equivalence showed higher emulsion activity than the non-covalent effect. The solubility, and antioxidant activity of covalent binding were higher than that of non-covalent binding in the RP-FA group, but there was a contrasting behavior in the RP-GA group. The RP-FA was most soluble in conjugates, while the RP-GA had the highest solubility in mixtures. It was found that the covalent complexes were more stable in the intestinal tract. The content of polyphenols in the RP-TA group was rapidly increased at the later intestinal digestion, which indicated the high polyphenol-protective effect in this group. Meanwhile, the RP-TA group showed high reducing power but low digestibility.

Food Res Int 2024; 187:114423. [PMID: 38763674 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114423] [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: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
The β-cyclodextrin and short-chain alkyl gallates (A-GAs), which are representative of phenolipids, such as butyl, propyl, ethyl, and methyl gallates, were chosen to form inclusion complexes by the use of the freeze-drying process. In the everted rat gut sac model, HPLC-UV analysis demonstrated that the released A-GAs from inclusion complexes were degraded to yield free gallic acid (GA) (sustained-release function 1). The small intestine membrane may be crossed by both the GA and the A-GAs. A-GAs may also undergo hydrolysis to provide GA (sustained-release function 2) following transmembrane transfer. Clearly, a helpful technique for the dual sustained-release of phenolic compounds is to produce β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes with short-chain phenolipids. This will increase the bioactivities of phenolic compounds and prolong their in vivo residence length. Moreover, changing the carbon-chain length of these β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes would readily modify the dual sustained-release behavior of the phenolic compounds. Thus, our work effectively established a theoretical foundation for the use of β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes containing short-chain phenolipids as new source of functional food components to provide the body with phenolic compounds more efficiently.

Abstract
Kratom, Mitragyna speciosa, is one of the most popular herbs in the West and Southeast Asia. A number of previous works have focused on bioactive alkaloids in this plant; however, non-alkaloids have never been investigated for their biological activities. Antiviral and virucidal assays of a methanol leaf extract of Kratom, M. speciosa, revealed that a crude extract displayed virucidal activity against the SARS-CoV-2. Activity-guided isolation of a methanol leaf extract of Kratom led to the identification of B-type procyanidin condensed tannins of (-)-epicatechin as virucidal compounds against SARS-CoV-2. The fraction containing condensed tannins exhibited virucidal activity with an EC50 value of 8.38 μg/mL and a selectivity index (SI) value >23.86. LC-MS/MS analysis and MALDI-TOF MS identified the structure of the virucidal compounds in Kratom as B-type procyanidin condensed tannins, while gel permeation chromatograph (GPC) revealed weight average molecular weight of 238,946 Da for high molecular-weight condensed tannins. In addition to alkaloids, (-)-epicatechin was found as a major component in the leaves of M. speciosa, but it did not have virucidal activity. Macromolecules of (-)-epicatechin, i.e., procyanidin condensed tannins, showed potent virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that the high molecular weights of these polyphenols are important for virucidal activity.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. It was estimated that 90 % of cancer-related deaths were attributable to the development of multi-drug resistance (MDR) during chemotherapy, which results in ineffective chemotherapy. Hydrophobic natural products plays a pivotal role in the field of cancer therapy, with the potential to reverse MDR in tumor cells, thereby enhancing the efficacy of tumor therapy. However, their targeted delivery is considered a major hurdle in their application. The advent of numerous approaches for encapsulating bioactive ingredients in the nanodelivery systems has improved the stability and targeted delivery of these biomolecules. The manuscript comprehensively analyses the nanodelivery systems of bioactive compounds with potential cancer therapy applications, including liposomes, emulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles (NPs), and polymeric NPs. Then, the advantages and disadvantages of various nanoagents in the treatment of various cancer types are critically discussed. Further, the application of multiple-compbine delivery methods to overcome the limitations of single-delivery have need critically analyzed, which thus could help in the designing nanodrug delivery systems for bioactive compounds in clinical settings. Therefore, the review is timely and important for development of efficient nanodelivery systems involving hydrophobic natural products to improve pharmacokinetic properties for effective cancer treatment.

Abstract
Polyphenols with antioxidant properties are of significant interest in medical and pharmaceutical applications. Given the diverse range of activities of polyphenols in vivo, accurate detection of these compounds plays a crucial role in nutritional surveillance and pharmaceutical development. Yet, the efficient quantitation of polyphenol contents and qualification of monomer compositions present a notable challenge when studying polyphenol bioavailability. In this study, platinum-modified nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (Pt/NiFe-LDH hybrids) were designed to mimic peroxidases for colorimetric analysis and act as enhanced matrices for laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS) to quantify and qualify polyphenols. The hybrids exhibited an enzymatic activity of 33.472 U/mg for colorimetric assays, facilitating the rapid and direct quantitation of total tea polyphenols within approximately 1 min. Additionally, the heterogeneous structure and exposed hydroxyl groups on the hybrid surface contributed to photoelectric enhancement and in-situ enrichment of polyphenols in LDI MS. This study introduces an innovative approach to detect polyphenols using advanced materials, potentially inspiring the future development and applications of other photoactive nanomaterials.

Abstract
Allergenicity of soybean 7S protein (7S) troubles many people around the world. However, many processing methods for lowering allergenicity is invalid. Interaction of 7S with phenolic acids, such as chlorogenic acid (CHA), to structurally modify 7S may lower the allergenicity. Hence, the effects of covalent (C-I, periodate oxidation method) and noncovalent interactions (NC-I) of 7S with CHA in different concentrations (0.3, 0.5, and 1.0 mM) on lowering 7S allergenicity were investigated in this study. The results demonstrated that C-I led to higher binding efficiency (C-0.3:28.51 ± 2.13%) than NC-I (N-0.3:22.66 ± 1.75%). The C-I decreased the α-helix content (C-1:21.06%), while the NC-I increased the random coil content (N-1:24.39%). The covalent 7S-CHA complexes of different concentrations had lower IgE binding capacity (C-0.3:37.38 ± 0.61; C-0.5:34.89 ± 0.80; C-1:35.69 ± 0.61%) compared with that of natural 7S (100%), while the noncovalent 7S-CHA complexes showed concentration-dependent inhibition of IgE binding capacity (N-0.3:57.89 ± 1.23; N-0.5:46.91 ± 1.57; N-1:40.79 ± 0.22%). Both interactions produced binding to known linear epitopes. This study provides the theoretical basis for the CHA application in soybean products to lower soybean allergenicity.

Abstract
As natural antioxidants added to meat products, polyphenols can interact with proteins, and the acid-base environment influenced the extent of non-covalent and covalent interactions between them. This study compared the bio-functional characteristics and metabolic outcomes of the myofibrillar protein-chlorogenic acid (MP-CGA) complexes binding in different environments (pH 6.0 and 8.5). The results showed that CGA bound with MP significantly enhanced its antioxidant activity and inhibitory effect on metabolism enzymes. CGA bound deeply into the MP structure hydrophobic cavity at pH 6.0, which reduced its degradation by digestive enzymes, thus increasing its bio-accessibility from 59.5% to 71.6%. The digestion products of the two complexes exhibited significant differences, with the non-covalent MP-CGA complexes formed at pH 6.0 showing significantly higher concentrations of rhetsinine and piplartine, two well-known compounds to modulate diabetes. This study demonstrated that non-covalent binding between protein and polyphenol in the acidic environment held greater promising prospects for improving health.

Abstract
In this study, the curdlan-polyphenol complexes were constructed by a pH-driven method. The interaction between curdlan and various hydrophobic polyphenols (curcumin, quercetin, and chlorogenic acid) was investigated. Curdlan could self-assemble into particles for loading polyphenols through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The three polyphenols were embedded in curdlan in an amorphous state. The curdlan-curcumin complex showed the lowest viscoelasticity but exhibited the highest curcumin loading ability (34.04 ± 1.73 mg/g). However, the curdlan-chlorogenic acid complex emerged the opposite trend, indicating that the loading capacity was associated with the hydrophobicity of polyphenols. The antioxidant activity of curdlan significantly increased after combining with polyphenols, which could be maintained during in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion. In particular, the curdlan-quercetin complex exhibited the highest antioxidant activity and short-chain fatty acid concentration, which could influence gut microbiota composition by promoting the proliferation of Prevotella and inhibiting the growth of Escherichia_Shigella. In conclusion, the curdlan-polyphenol complexes prepared by an alcohol-free pH-driven method could effectively enhance the gastrointestinal stability of polyphenols as well as increase the antioxidant and prebiotic activities of curdlan, which could be applied as a functional ingredient to improve gut health.

Food Chem 2024; 438:138053. [PMID: 38007953 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138053] [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: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
This study focused on non-covalent complex of myoglobin-chlorogenic acid (Mb-CA) and the changes in conformation, oxidation, and microstructure induced by varying concentrations of CA (10-40 μmol/g Mb). Employing molecular docking and dynamics simulations, further insights into the interaction between Mb and CA were obtained. The findings revealed that different CA concentrations enhanced Mb's thermal stability, while diminishing particle size, solubility, and relative content of metmyoglobin (MetMb%). The optimal interaction occurred at 40 μmol/g Mb. Furthermore, CA exhibited static quenching of Mb, with thermodynamic analysis confirming a 1:1 complex formation. These insights deepen our understanding of interaction between Mb and CA, providing valuable clarity.

Interactions between proteins and phenolics: effects of food processing on the content and digestibility of phenolic compounds. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:2535-2550. [PMID: 38318731 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
Phenolic compounds have recently become one of the most interesting topics in different research areas, especially in food science and nutrition due to their health-promoting effects. Phenolic compounds are found together with macronutrients and micronutrients in foods and within several food systems. The coexistence of phenolics and other food components can lead to their interaction resulting in complex formation. This review article aims to cover the effects of thermal and non-thermal processing techniques on the protein-phenolic interaction especially focusing on the content and digestibility of phenolics by discussing recently published research articles. It is clear that the processing conditions and individual properties of phenolics and proteins are the most effective factors in the final content and intestinal fates of phenolic compounds. Besides, thermal and non-thermal treatments, such as high-pressure processing, pulsed electric field, cold plasma, ultrasonication, and fermentation may induce alterations in those interactions. Still, new investigations are required for different food processing treatments by using a wide range of food products to enlighten new functional and healthier food product design, to provide the optimized processing conditions of foods for obtaining better quality, higher nutritional properties, and health benefits. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of grafting chlorogenic acid (CA) on the antioxidant and probiotic activities of curdlan oligosaccharides (CDOS) were investigated. CDOS with degrees of polymerization of 3-6 was first obtained by degradation of curdlan with hydrogen peroxide and then grafted with CA using a free radical-mediated method under an ultrasonication-assisted Fenton system. The thermal stability and antioxidant ability of CDOS were enhanced after grafting with CA. In vitro fermentation, supplementation of CDOS-CA stimulated the proliferation of Prevotella and Faecalibacterium while inhibiting the growth of harmful microbiota. Notably, the concentration of total short-chain fatty acids and the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria markedly increased after fermentation of CDOS-CA, indicating that CA grafting could improve the probiotic activity of CDOS. Overall, the covalent binding of CDOS and CA could enhance the antioxidant and probiotic activities of CDOS, suggesting potential improvements in gastrointestinal and colonic health.

Abstract
At present, the occurrence of a large number of infectious and non-communicable diseases poses a serious threat to human health as well as to drug development for the treatment of these diseases. One of the most significant challenges is finding new drug candidates that are therapeutically effective and have few or no side effects. In this respect, the active compounds in medicinal plants, especially flavonoids, are potentially useful compounds with a wide range of pharmacological activities. They are naturally present in nature and valuable in the treatment of many infectious and non-communicable diseases. Flavonoids are divided into fourteen categories and are mainly derived from plant extraction, chemical synthesis and structural modification, and biosynthesis. The structural modification of flavonoids is an important way to discover new drugs, but biosynthesis is currently considered the most promising research direction with the potential to revolutionize the new production pipeline in the synthesis of flavonoids. However, relevant problems such as metabolic pathway analyses and cell synthesis protocols for flavonoids need to be addressed on an urgent basis. In the present review, new research techniques for assessing the biological activities of flavonoids and the mechanisms of their biological activities are elucidated and their modes of interaction with other drugs are described. Moreover, novel drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticles, bioparticles, colloidals, etc., are gradually becoming new means of addressing the issues of poor hydrophilicity, lipophilicity, poor chemical stability, and low bioavailability of flavonoids. The present review summarizes the latest research progress on flavonoids, existing problems with their therapeutic efficacy, and how these issues can be solved with the research on flavonoids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soy protein gel products are prone to direct oxidation by reactive oxygen during processing and transportation, thus reducing their functional properties and nutritional values. A covalent complex was prepared with soy protein isolate (SPI) and ferulic acid (FA) catalyzed by laccase (LC). The complex was further treated with microbial transglutaminase (TGase) to form hydrogels. The structural changes of the covalent complex (SPI-FA) and the properties and antioxidant stability of hydrogel were investigated. RESULTS The SPI-FA complexes were demonstrated to be covalently bound by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and they had the least hydrophobic and free sulfhydryl groups at a 1.0 mg mL-1 FA concentration. The α-helix of complexes increased from 11.50% to 27.39%, and random coil dropped from 26.06% to 14.44%. The addition of FA caused SPI fluorescence quenching and redshift. The hydrogel was formed after the complex was induced with TGase, and its hardness and water holding capacity was increased by 50.61% and 26.21%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy showed that a layered and ordered gel structure was formed. After in vitro digestion, the complex hydrogels maintained stable antioxidant activity, and the free radical scavenging rates of DPPH and ABTS reached 87.65% and 84.45%, respectively. CONCLUSION SPI-FA covalent complexes were prepared under laccase catalysis, and complex hydrogels were formed by TGase. Hydrogels have stable antioxidant activity, which provides application prospects for the antioxidant development of food. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Polyphenol hydrogels have garnered widespread attention due to their excellent adhesion, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Gallic acid (GA) is a typical derivative of pyrogallol that is used as a hydrogel crosslinker or bioactive additive and can be used to make multifunctional hydrogels with properties superior to those of widely studied catechol hydrogels. Furthermore, compared to polymeric tannic acid, gallic acid is more suitable for chemical modification, thus broadening its range of applications. This review focuses on multifunctional hydrogels containing GA, aiming to inspire researchers in future biomaterial design. We first revealed the interaction mechanisms between GA molecules and between GA and polymers, analyzed the characteristics GA imparts to hydrogels and compared GA hydrogels with hydrogels containing catechol. Subsequently, in this paper, various methods of integrating GA into hydrogels and the applications of GA in biomedicine are discussed, finally assessing the current limitations and future development potential of GA. In summary, GA, a natural small molecule polyphenol with excellent functionality and diverse interaction modes, has great potential in the field of biomedical hydrogels.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the effect of polyphenolic structure on the interaction strength and process between polyphenols (gallic acid (GA), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and tannic acid (TA)) and amylose (AM). The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and molecular dynamic simulation (MD) suggested that the interactions between the three polyphenols and AM were noncovalent, spontaneous, low-energy and driven by enthalpy, which would be enhanced with increasing amounts of pyrogallol groups in the polyphenols. The results of turbidity, particle size and appearance of the complex solution showed that the interaction process between polyphenols and AM could be divided into three steps and would be advanced by increasing the number of pyrogallol groups in the polyphenols. At the same time, MD was intuitively employed to exhibit the interaction process between amylose and polyphenols, and it revealed that the interaction induced the aggregation of amylose and that the agglomeration degree of amylose increased with increasing number of pyrogallol groups at polyphenols. Last, the SEM and TGA results showed that TA/AM complexes had the tightest structure and the highest thermal stability (TA/AM˃EGCG/AM˃GA/AM), which could be attributed to TA having five pyrogallol groups.

Abstract
Quinones, produced by the oxidation of phenolic compounds, covalently bind to nucleophilic groups on amino acids or proteins. In this study, the reactions of 4-methylbenzoquinone (4MBQ) with β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) and amino acids at neutral pH were investigated. LC-MS analysis revealed that Cys121 was likely the most modified residue in β-LG. Identification of reaction products by LC-MS/MS showed that Michael addition occurred in all reactions with amino acids tested. The formation of Schiff base and a di-adduct was found in His and Trp samples. Apparent second-order rate constants (k2) were determined at 25 °C and pH 7.0 by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The rate of reactions decreased in the order: β-LG > His > Trp > Arg > Nα-acetyl His > Nα-acetyl Arg > Nα-acetyl Trp. The rate constants correlated with the pKa values of the amino acids, showing that the amount of unprotonated amine is the major factor determining the reactivity.

Abstract
Seeking safe and environmentally friendly natural immunomodulators is a pressing requirement of humanity. This study investigated the differential binding characteristics of two polar polyphenols (PP), namely epicatechin (EC) and chlorogenic acid (CA), to ovotransferrin (OVT), and explored the relationship between structural transformations and immunomodulatory activity of OVT-PP complexes. Results showed that CA exhibited a stronger affinity for OVT than EC, mainly driven by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Complexation-induced conformational variations in OVT, including static fluorescence quenching, increased microenvironment polarity surrounding tryptophan and tyrosine residues, and the transition from disordered α-helix to stable β-sheet. Furthermore, the structural conformation transformation of OVT-PP complexes facilitated the enhancement of immunomodulatory activity, with the OVT-CA (10:2) complex demonstrating the best immunomodulatory activity. Principal component analysis (PCA) and Pearson correlation analysis revealed the immunomodulatory activities of the OVT-PP complexes were influenced by surface hydrophobicity (negatively correlated), β-sheet percentage and polyphenol binding constants. It could be inferred that PP complexation increased the surface polarity of OVT, consequently enhancing its immunomodulatory activity by promoting cell membrane affinity and antigen recognition. This study provides valuable guidance for effectively utilizing polyphenol-protein complexes in enhancing immunomodulatory activity.

Abstract
Foods and beverages with excessive tannins acid (TA) content taste astringent and bitter. The overconsumption of TA could result in nutritional and digestive problems. In this study, the cellulose nanocrystals (CNC)/fish swim bladder gelatin (FG) composite sponge was prepared with glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent. The TA adsorption performance of the sponge was discussed. The freeze-dried CNC/FG composite sponge had a porous network structure. CNC was combined into the FG matrix as a reinforcing phase. The mechanical strength, thermal stability, and swelling properties of the composite sponge were improved with the addition of an appropriate amount of CNC. Although CNC decreased the porosity of composite sponge, the increase in active adsorption sites resulted in an overall positive effect on its TA adsorption properties. Under the optimal adsorption conditions, the TA removal rate of 1.0 % CNC composites reached 80.4 %. Furthermore, the sponge retained a TA removal rate of 54 % after five cycles of adsorption and desorption using 50 % ethanol. The results demonstrated that CNC/FG composite sponge has application potential in the field of adsorption materials for TA.

Abstract
Phospholipid complexes of alkyl gallates (A-GAs) including ethyl gallate (EG), propyl gallate (PG), and butyl gallate (BG) were successfully prepared by the thin film dispersion method. HPLC-UV analysis in an everted rat gut sac model indicated that A-GAs can be liberated from phospholipid complexes, which were further hydrolyzed by intestinal lipase to generate free gallic acid (GA). Both A-GAs and GA are able to cross the membrane, and the hydrolysis rate of A-GAs and the transport rate of GA are positively correlated with the alkyl chain length. Especially, compared with the corresponding physical mixtures, the phospholipid complexes exhibit slower sustained-release of A-GAs and GA. Therefore, the formation of phospholipid complexes is an effective approach to prolong the residence time in vivo and additionally enhance the bioactivities of A-GAs and GA. More importantly, through regulating the carbon skeleton lengths, controlled-release of alkyl gallates and gallic acid from phospholipid complexes will be achieved.

Abstract
Nowadays, natural materials as smart building blocks for assembling functional materials have aroused extensive interest in the scientific community. Proteins and polyphenols are typical natural building blocks that are widely used. On the one hand, proteins are one of the most versatile classes of biomolecules, serving as catalysts, signaling molecules, transporters, receptors, scaffolds that maintain the integrity of cell and tissue, and more. On the other hand, the facile adhesion of naturally abundant polyphenols with other substances and their potential biomedical applications have been highly attractive for functional biomaterials fabrication. Additionally, there are a variety of interactions between the proteins and polyphenols, mainly hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, and ionic interactions. These reversible dynamic interactions enable proteins and polyphenols to form stable protein-polyphenol assemblies and maintain their inherent structures and biological activities in the assemblies. Therefore, protein-polyphenol assemblies can be applied to design a variety of advanced functional materials for biomedical applications. Herein, recent progress in protein-polyphenol particles, capsules, coatings, and hydrogels is summarized, the preparation and application of these assemblies are introduced in detail, and the future of the field is prospected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of covalent and non-covalent interactions between myofibrillar protein (MP) and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) on protein structure, binding sites, and digestion properties. Four methods of inducing covalent cross-linking were used in the preparation of MP-C3G conjugates, including tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation, alkaline pH shift treatment, free radical grafting, and ultrasonic treatment. A comparison was made between MP-C3G conjugates and complexes, and the analysis included sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), C3G binding ratio, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), protein side-chain amino acids, circular dichroism spectroscopy, three-dimensional fluorescence, particle size, and in vitro simulated digestion. RESULTS Covalent bonding between C3G and amino acid side chains in MP was confirmed by LC-MS/MS. In covalent bonding, tryptophan residues, free amino groups and sulfhydryl groups were all implicated. Among the 22 peptides covalently modified by C3G, 30 modification sites were identified, located in lysine, histidine, tryptophan, arginine and cysteine. In vitro simulated digestion experiments showed that the addition of C3G significantly reduced the digestibility of MP, with the covalent conjugate showing lower digestibility than the non-covalent conjugate. Moreover, the digestibility of protein decreased more during intestinal digestion, possibly because covalent cross-linking of C3G and MP further inhibited trypsin targeting sites (lysine and arginine). CONCLUSION Covalent cross-linking of C3G with myofibrillar proteins significantly affected protein structure and reduced protein digestibility by occupying more trypsin binding sites. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This study evaluated the incorporation of two ingredients as a source of bioactive compounds: amaranth flour (AF) and grape pomace peels flour (GP) to improve the nutritional qualities and functional properties of a wheat bread, emphasising the revalorisation of agricultural residues from grape winemaking as an ethical and economically viable source of bioactive compounds. Specifically, wheat flour (WF) substitutions were carried out for the individual ingredients, replacing 20% WF (A20 bread) or 5% GP (GP5 bread) and a mixture of both ingredients 20% WF and 5% GP (A20GP5 bread), and the antioxidant potential of the breads was analysed. The effect of simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SGID) on the phenolic profile and antioxidant activity of the fortified breads was also investigated. The substitution of WF by AF or GP introduced several phenolic compounds, digestion increased the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds and reshaped their phenolic composition profiles. The combined presence of AF and GP in the breads modified the phenolic compounds composition and improved their antioxidant activity after SGID. Interactions between the phenolic compounds and other AF components (possibly proteins) were observed, which could protect the phenols from degradation during SGID, allowing them to be released after SGID.

Abstract
Coconut milk is an unstable emulsion system, mainly stabilized by proteins, which limits the development of the food industry. The aim of this study was to investigate mechanisms for increasing emulsion stability through the interaction between coffee polyphenols (CPs) and coconut globulin (CG), the main protein in coconut milk. Caffeic acid (CA), chlorogenic acid (CHA), and ferulic acid (FA) were selected as CP models. The results showed that hydrogen bond interactions mainly occurred between CG and CPs (CG-FA < CG-CA < CG-CHA). CHA containing quinic acid preferentially formed a strong interaction with CG. The interaction changed the lipophilicity of CG and facilitated the formation of a dense and thick interfacial film at the oil-water interface. Furthermore, the emulsion stabilized by CG-CPs showed excellent stability after storage, centrifugation, pH, and salt treatment, especially CG-CHA. This study could provide a theoretical basis for improving the stability of coconut milk products.

Abstract
Chickpea protein isolate (CPI) is a promising novel plant protein, and protein-flavonoid system has also been applied in various food products. However, the interaction mechanism between CPI and flavonoids remains to be elucidated. In this paper, the affinity behavior between flavonoids and CPI was explained by constructing the three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (R2 = 0.988, Q2 = 0.777). Subsequently, four representative flavonoids were selected for further study. Multi-spectroscopy analysis showed that the sequence of affinity for CPI was puerarin > apigenin > naringenin > epigallocatechin gallate. Meanwhile, flavonoids altered the secondary structure and spatial conformation of CPI, leading to the static quenching of CPI. Additionally, thermodynamic analysis indicated that hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces were the main driving forces for complex binding. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations further explored the binding sites and conformations of complexes. This study provides theoretical guidance for in-depth research on the interaction patterns between biomacromolecules and small molecules in food matrices.

Abstract
Fermented dairy products (e.g., yogurt, kefir, and buttermilk) are significant in the dairy industry. They are less immunoreactive than the raw materials from which they are derived. The attractiveness of these products is based on their bioactivity and properties that induce immune or anti-inflammatory processes. In the search for new solutions, plant raw materials with beneficial effects have been combined to multiply their effects or obtain new properties. Polyphenols (e.g., flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans, and stilbenes) are present in fruit and vegetables, but also in coffee, tea, or wine. They reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, or inflammation. Hence, it is becoming valuable to combine dairy proteins with polyphenols, of which epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and chlorogenic acid (CGA) show a particular predisposition to bind to milk proteins (e.g., α-lactalbumin β-lactoglobulin, αs1-casein, and κ-casein). Reducing the allergenicity of milk proteins by combining them with polyphenols is an essential issue. As potential 'metabolic prebiotics', they also contribute to stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting pathogenic bacteria in the human gastrointestinal tract. In silico methods, mainly docking, assess the new structures of conjugates and the consequences of the interactions that are formed between proteins and polyphenols, as well as to predict their action in the body.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the antioxidant and inhibiting (ACE-I, DPP IV, and alpha-glucosidase) potential of canned meat featuring reduced sodium nitrate content (50 mg/kg) and fortified with freeze-dried currant leaf extract. Research indicates that employing a lyophilizate dose of 150 mg/kg yields optimal benefits in terms of the antioxidant activity of the meat product. Additionally, three highly promising sequences for canned meat were identified via analysis in the BIOPEP database. These sequences are RPPPPPPPPAD, exhibiting DPP-IV inhibiting activity; ARPPPGPPPLGPPPPGP, demonstrating ACE-I inhibiting activity; and PPGPPPPP, displaying alpha-glucosidase inhibiting activity. Using bioinformatics tools, molecular docking was performed by pairing the selected peptides with protein receptors 2QT9, 1O86, and 5NN8, respectively (PDB ID). The examination of the potential of these selected sequences to manifest specific biological activities toward enzymes was based on the free energy value (∆Gbinding). This knowledge can be harnessed for designing functional foods, thereby contributing to the safeguarding of consumer health.

Abstract
In light of the constantly increasing prevalence of allergic diseases, changes in dietary patterns have been suggested as a plausible environmental explanation for the development and progression of these diseases. Nowadays, much attention has been paid to the development of dietary interventions using natural substances with anti-allergy activities. In this respect, dietary polyphenols have been studied extensively as one of the most prominent natural bioactive compounds with well-documented anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. This review aims to discuss the mechanisms underlying the potential anti-allergic actions of polyphenols related to their ability to reduce protein allergenicity, regulate immune response, and gut microbiome modification; however, these issues need to be elucidated in detail. This paper reviews the current evidence from experimental and clinical studies confirming that various polyphenols such as quercetin, curcumin, resveratrol, catechins, and many others could attenuate allergic inflammation, alleviate the symptoms of food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis, and prevent the development of allergic immune response. Conclusively, dietary polyphenols are endowed with great anti-allergic potential and therefore could be used either for preventive approaches or therapeutic interventions in relation to allergic diseases. Limitations in studying and widespread use of polyphenols as well as future research directions are also discussed.

Noncovalent Interaction of Lactoferrin with Epicatechin and Epigallocatechin: Focus on Fluorescence Quenching and Antioxidant Properties. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:41844-41854. [PMID: 37970015 PMCID: PMC10633880 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c06560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023]
Abstract
Lactoferrin (LF) from bovine milk possesses antioxidant activity, immune regulatory and other biological activities. However, the effects of epicatechin (EC) and epigallocatechin (EGC) interacting with LF on the antioxidant activity of LF have not been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to explore their interaction mechanism and the antioxidant activity of LF. UV spectra revealed that EGC (100 μM) induced a higher blue shift of LF at the maximum absorption wavelength than that of EC (100 μM). Fluorescence spectra results suggested that LF fluorescence was quenched by EC and EGC in the static type, which changed the polarity of the microenvironment around LF. The quenching constants Ksv (5.91 × 103-9.20 × 103) of EC-LF complexes at different temperatures were all higher than that (1.35 × 103-1.75 × 103) of the EGC-LF complex. EC could bind to LF via hydrophobic interactions while hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces drove the binding of EGC to LF. Both the EC-LF complex and EGC-LF complex could bind to LF with one site. EGC formed more hydrogen bonds with LF than that of EC. The antioxidant activity of LF was increased by the high addition level of EC and EGC. These findings would provide more references for developing LF-catechin complexes as functional antioxidants.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of grape seed extract (GSE), acerola cherry extract (ACE), and blueberry extract (BBE) on the physicochemical properties and structure of the yellow croaker surimi gel. In addition, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were utilized to study the binding mechanism of yellow croaker's fibrillin and fruit extracts. Surimi gel with 1.5% GSE, ACE, and BBE had the highest water holding capacity, hardness, chewability, cohesion, breaking force, breaking distance, gel strength, and densest 3D network structure, according to the experiment's findings. Nevertheless, the cross-linking of proteins in surimi was blocked with the further increase of fruit extract (1.5%-2.0%), and the existing network of surimi was weakened or even destroyed. Three fruit extracts had little effect on the secondary structure of the surimi gel. Besides, hydrophobic and disulfide bonds are the main chemical bonds of croaker surimi. Molecular docking showed that B-type procyanidine (BP) interacted with ASN-183, SER-571, ASP-525, ARG-350, LYS-188, GLU-349, CYS-353, and other active amino acids in croaker protein. Moreover, it can form strong hydrogen bond interaction with ASN-183, SER-571, ASP-525, and ARG-350 at the active sites of protein. The BP-Larimichthys crocea protein system's MD simulation was carried out, and calculations for the simulation's root mean square deviation, root mean square fluctuation, radius of gyration, solvent accessible surface area, and hydrogen bonds were made. It was found that these indices can demonstrate that the BP binding contributes to the stability of the yellow croaker structure.

Abstract
Iron is an important trace element in the body, and it will seriously affect the body's normal operation if it is taken too much or too little. A large number of patients around the world are suffering from iron disorders. However, there are many problems using drugs to treat iron overload and causing prolonged and unbearable suffering for patients. Controlling iron absorption and utilization through diet is becoming the acceptable, safe and healthy method. At present, many literatures have reported that polyphenols can interact with iron ions and can be expected to chelate iron ions, depending on their types and structures. Besides, polyphenols often interact with other macromolecules in the diet, which may complicate this phenols-Fe behavior and give rise to the necessity of building phenolic based biopolymer materials. The biopolymer materials, constructed by self-assembly (non-covalent) or chemical modification (covalent), show excellent properties such as good permeability, targeting, biocompatibility, and high chelation ability. It is believed that this review can greatly facilitate the development of polyphenols-based biopolymer materials construction for regulating iron and improving the well-being of patients.

Abstract
Herein, ultrasound-assisted conventional covalent binding methods (alkali treatment, free radical mediation, and an enzymatic method) were used to prepare soybean protein isolate (SPI)-(-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) conjugates to investigate the enhancement effect of the ultrasound synergistic treatment. In addition, the influence of EGCG grafting on the structure and properties of SPI was evaluated via reactive group analysis, spectral analysis, surface hydrophobicity measurements, emulsification property assessment, and α-glucosidase inhibition analysis. The obtained results revealed that the enzymatic method produced the highest polyphenol grafting content among the conventional techniques. Meanwhile, ultrasound treatment increased the amount of grafted polyphenol species during the alkali treatment and free radical mediation procedure, decreased the grafting efficiency in the enzymatic method, and maximized the grafting efficiency during the alkali treatment. In addition, reactive group and spectral analyses demonstrated that EGCG formed C-N and C-S bonds with SPI and decreased the α-helix content in the protein structure, thereby increasing the molecular flexibility of SPI. It also produced hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, as demonstrated by the results of molecular docking. Furthermore, the EGCG grafting of SPI conducted under the ultrasound-assisted conditions endowed SPI with unique functional characteristics, including good emulsification and antioxidant properties and high α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, while the ultrasound-assisted alkali treatment resulted in the optimal functional properties. The results of this study provide new insights into the effective preparation of SPI-EGCG complexes with multiple functionalities, thereby expanding the scope of high-value SPI utilization.

Abstract
The health benefits of polyphenols are based on their bioavailability, which is why a significant portion of research focuses on factors that affect their bioavailability. Previous studies suggest that the intake of polyphenols along with macronutrients in food represents one of the key factors influencing the bioavailability of polyphenols and, consequently, their biological activity in the organism. Since polyphenols in the human diet are mainly consumed in food together with macronutrients, this study investigated the in vivo absorption, metabolism, and distribution of polyphenolic compounds from the water extract of blackthorn flower (Prunus spinosa L.) in combination with a protein-enriched diet in the organs (small intestine, liver, kidney) of C57BL/6 mice. The bioaccumulation of polyphenol molecules, biologically available maximum concentrations of individual groups of polyphenol molecules, and their effect on the oxidative/antioxidative status of organs were also examined. The results of this study indicate increased bioabsorption and bioavailability of flavan-3-ols (EC, EGCG) and reduced absorption kinetics of certain polyphenols from the groups of flavonols, flavones, and phenolic acids in the organs of C57BL/6 mice after intragastric administration of the water extract of blackthorn flower (Prunus spinosa L.) in combination with a diet enriched with whey proteins. Furthermore, subchronic intake of polyphenols from the water extract of blackthorn flower (Prunus spinosa L.) in combination with a diet enriched with whey proteins induces the synthesis of total glutathione (tGSH) in the liver and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the liver and small intestine. The results of this study suggest potential applications in the development of functional foods aimed at achieving the optimal health status of the organism and the possibility of reducing the risk of oxidative stress-related disease.

Abstract
To meet the needs of a growing global population (∼10 billion by 2050), there is an urgent demand for sustainable, healthy, delicious, and affordable next-generation foods. Natural polyphenols, which are abundant in edible plants, have emerged as promising food additives due to their potential health benefits. However, incorporating polyphenols into food products presents various challenges, including issues related to crystallization, low water-solubility, limited bioavailability, and chemical instability. pH-driven or pH-shifting approaches have been proposed to incorporate polyphenols into the delivery systems. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether they can be generally used for the encapsulation of polyphenols into next-generation foods. Here, we highlight a post pH-driven (PPD) approach as a viable solution. The PPD approach inherits several advantages, such as simplicity, speed, and environmental friendliness, as it eliminates the need for heat, organic solvents, and complex equipment. Moreover, the PPD approach can be widely applied to different polyphenols and food systems, enhancing its versatility while also potentially contributing to reducing food waste. This review article aims to accelerate the implementation of the PPD approach in the development of polyphenol-fortified next-generation foods by providing a comprehensive understanding of its fundamental principles, encapsulation techniques, and potential applications in plant-based foods.

Abstract
Tea polyphenols (TPs) are the most important active component of tea and have become a research focus among natural products, thanks to their antioxidant, lipid-lowering, liver-protecting, anti-tumor, and other biological activities. Polyphenols can interact with other food components, such as protein, polysaccharides, lipids, and metal ions to further improve the texture, flavor, and sensory quality of food, and are widely used in food fields, such as food preservatives, antibacterial agents and food packaging. However, the instability of TPs under conditions such as light or heat and their low bioavailability in the gastrointestinal environment also hinder their application in food. In this review, we summarized the health benefits of TPs. In order to better use TPs in food, we analyzed the form and mechanism of interaction between TPs and main food components, such as polysaccharides and proteins. Moreover, we reviewed research into optimizing the applications of TPs in food by bio-based delivery systems, such as liposomes, nanoemulsions, and nanoparticles, so as to improve the stability and bioactivity of TPs in food application. As an effective active ingredient, TPs have great potential to be applied in functional food to produce benefits for human health.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of the interaction of walnut protein isolate (WPI) with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), chlorogenic acid (CLA), (+)-catechin (CA), and ellagic acid (EA) on the structural and functional properties of proteins. The results for polyphenol binding equivalents and content of free amino and sulfhydryl groups as well as those from sodium dodecyl sulfate‒polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis confirmed the covalent interaction between WPI and the polyphenols. The binding capacities of the WPI-polyphenol mixtures and conjugates were as follows: WPI-EGCG > WPI-CLA > WPI-CA > WPI-EA. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and fluorescence spectrum analysis identified changes in the protein structure. The conjugation process obviously increased the polyphenols' antioxidant properties and the surface hydrophobicity was substantially reduced. WPI-EGCG conjugates had the best functional properties, followed by WPI-CLA, WPI-CA, and WPI-EA. Lycopene (LYC) was loaded into nanocarriers by WPI-EGCG self-assembly. These results indicated that WPI-polyphenol conjugates can be utilized to develop food-grade delivery systems to protect chemically lipophilic bioactive compounds.

Abstract
In this study, the interaction mechanism between theaflavin and myosin was explored to confirm the potential application of theaflavin in the meat protein system. A series of theaflavin and myosin solutions were prepared for spectroscopic studies. Spectroscopy results showed that theaflavins formed complexes with myosin and affected the microenvironment of myosin. And that addition of theaflavin cause static quenching of the myosin solution. Theaflavin and bovine myosin combined through hydrophobic interaction to form a complex, and gradually increasing the temperature was conducive to the binding of theaflavin and bovine myosin. This interaction results in a decrease in the α -helix content of myosin. Molecular dynamics simulation results confirmed that hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds made the protein structure more compact and stable. And the in vitro digestion process was simulated. The results showed that the addition of theaflavin could significantly reduce the digestibility of myosin.

Metallothionein-Kidney Bean Polyphenol Complexes Showed Antidiabetic Activity in Type 2 Diabetic Rats by Improving Insulin Resistance and Regulating Gut Microbiota. Foods 2023; 12:3139. [PMID: 37628138 PMCID: PMC10453533 DOI: 10.3390/foods12163139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that interaction between polyphenols and proteins can benefit health, but the mechanism of its antidiabetic effect has not been thoroughly elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of the metallothionein (MT)-kidney bean polyphenol complex on the blood glucose levels and gut microbiota of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) induced by a high-fat diet combined with streptozotocin (STZ). After 7 weeks of intervention, the MT-kidney bean polyphenol complex can significantly improve the loss of body weight, the increase in blood glucose and blood lipids, and insulin resistance caused by T2DM in rats. In addition, it can effectively alleviate the damage to the pancreas and liver in rats. The MT-kidney bean polyphenol complex also significantly increased the concentrations of six short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the intestinal contents of rats, especially acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid (296.03%, 223.86%, and 148.97%, respectively). More importantly, the MT-kidney bean polyphenol complex can significantly reverse intestinal microflora dysbiosis in rats caused by T2DM, increase intestinal microorganism diversity, improve the abundance of various beneficial bacteria, and reshape the gut microbiota. In summary, the hypoglycemic effect of the MT-kidney bean polyphenol complex and its possible mechanism was expounded in terms of blood glucose level, blood lipid level, and gut microbiota, providing a new perspective on the development of the MT-kidney bean polyphenol complex as functional hypoglycemic food.

Abstract
Proteins have been extensively studied for their outstanding functional properties, while polyphenols have been shown to possess biological activities such as antioxidant properties. There is increasing clarity about the enhanced functional properties as well as the potential application prospects for the polyphenol-protein complexes with antioxidant properties. It is both a means of protein modification to provide enhanced antioxidant capacity and a way to deliver or protect polyphenols from degradation. This review shows that polyphenol-protein complexes could be formed via non-covalent or covalent interactions. The methods to assess the complex's antioxidant capacity, including scavenging free radicals and preventing lipid peroxidation, are summarized. The combination mode, the type of protein or polyphenol, and the external conditions will be the factors affecting the antioxidant properties of the complexes. There are several food systems that can benefit from the enhanced antioxidant properties of polyphenol-protein complexes, including emulsions, gels, packaging films, and bioactive substance delivery systems. Further validation of the cellular and in vivo safety of the complexes and further expansion of the types and sources of proteins and polyphenols for forming complexes are urgently needed to be addressed. The review will provide effective information for expanding applications of proteins and polyphenols in the food industry.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of covalent interactions between myofibrillar proteins (MP) and caffeic acid (CA) were investigated. Protein-phenol adducts were identified by biotinylated caffeic acid (BioC) used as a substitution of CA. The total sulfhydryls and free amines content were decreased (p < 0.05). The α-helix structure of MP increased (p < 0.05) and MP gel properties enhanced slightly at low dosages of CA (10 and 50 μM), and both were impaired significantly (p < 0.05) at high dosages of CA (250 and 1250 μM). Two prominent adducts of myosin heavy chain (MHC)-BioC and Actin-BioC were identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), which gradually increased at low concentrations of BioC (10 and 50 μM), and raised significantly at the concentration of 1250 μM. According to the correlation analysis, MHC-BioC and Actin-BioC adducts showed a significant negative correlation with gel properties, such as G', hardness, and water holding capacity (WHC) (p < 0.01), which indicated that the covalent interactions between MP and CA significantly affected the quality of meat products.

Biotransformation of white and black mustard grains through germination and enzymatic hydrolysis revealed important metabolites for antioxidant properties and cytotoxic activity against Caco-2 cells. Food Res Int 2023; 169:112881.

Abstract
Germination and enzymatic hydrolysis are biological processes with well-recognized positive effects on phenolic composition and antioxidant potential. This study aimed to apply those processes to white (Sinapsis alba) and black (Brassica nigra) mustard grains and to analyze the influences on the total phenolic content (TPC); phenolic and peptide profile determined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS); antioxidant potential (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays); and cytotoxicity against Caco-2, a human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line. Enzyme combinations for hydrolysis were different for each mustard grain, but for both species, enzymatic hydrolysis and germination showed a positive effect on antioxidant properties. From UPLC-HRMS analysis and molecular network studies, 14 peptides and 17 phenolic compounds were identified as metabolites released from mustard after processes application, which were strongly correlated with increased antioxidant activity. In addition, enzymatic hydrolysis applied in germinated mustard grains for both mustards increased the cytotoxic activity against Caco-2 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line.

Abstract
Alkaline-extracted walnut protein isolates showed relatively poor solubility and emulsifying properties in many previous studies. However, whether they can be used as potential emulsifiers to stabilize high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) remains unknown. Herein, walnut protein isolates were prepared by alkaline extraction from walnut kernels with or without pellicles (named PAWPI and AWPI, respectively). PAWPI conjugated with pellicle polyphenols showed improved solubility and higher antioxidant capacity than AWPI. HIPEs were fabricated via a one-step method using AWPI or PAWPI as the sole protein emulsifier. HIPEs (oil fraction of 0.8, with 0.1% β-carotene) could be stabilized by PAWPI at a relatively low concentration of 0.2% (w/v), while at least 1% (w/v) AWPI was required to effectively stabilize HIPEs. HIPEs stabilized by PAWPI had smaller oil droplet sizes than those stabilized by AWPI. Rheological analysis indicated that PAWPI-stabilized HIPEs showed higher viscosity and better viscoelasticity than AWPI-stabilized HIPEs. Large-amplitude oscillation shearing analysis suggested that PAWPI-stabilized HIPEs were stiffer but more brittle than AWPI-stabilized HIPEs. Moreover, both PAWPI- and AWPI-stabilized HIPEs exhibited good storage stability and were relatively stable against heat treatment and ionic strength. PAWPI-stabilized HIPEs showed a higher protective capacity for encapsulated β-carotene than AWPI-stabilized HIPEs. In addition, PAWPI-stabilized HIPEs showed good 3D printability and could be used as a promising edible ink.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidation is a chemical process impairing food freshness and other desirable qualities, which has become a serious problem in fruit and vegetable processing industry. It is crucial to understand the mechanisms involved in these detrimental alterations. o-Quinones are primarily generated by polyphenols with di/tri-phenolic groups through enzymatic oxidation and/or auto-oxidation. They are highly reactive species, which not only readily suffer the attack by nucleophiles but also powerfully oxidize other molecules presenting lower redox potentials via electron transfer reactions. These reactions and subsequent complicated reactions are capable of initiating quality losses in foods, such as browning, aroma loss, and nutritional decline. To attenuate these adverse influences, a variety of technologies have emerged to restrain polyphenol oxidation via governing different factors, especially polyphenol oxidases and oxygen. Despite tremendous efforts devoted, to date, the loss of food quality caused by quinones has remained a great challenge in the food processing industry. Furthermore, o-quinones are responsible for the chemopreventive effects and/or toxicity of the parent catechols on human health, the mechanisms by which are quite complex. Herein, this review focuses on the generation and reactivity of o-quinones, attempting to clarify mechanisms involved in the quality deterioration of foods and health implications for humans. Potential innovative inhibitors and technologies are also presented to intervene in o-quinone formation and subsequent reactions. In future, the feasibility of these inhibitory strategies should be evaluated, and further exploration on biological targets of o-quinones is of great necessity.

Abstract
Most of the pertinent research which aims at exploring the therapeutic effects of polyphenols usually misapprehends a large fraction of non-extractable polyphenols due to their poor aqueous-organic solvent extractability. These polymeric polyphenols (i.e., proanthocyanins, hydrolysable tannins and phenolic acids) possess a unique property to adhere to the food matrix polysaccharides and protein sowing to their structural complexity with high glycosylation, degree of polymerization, and plenty of hydroxyl groups. Surprisingly resistance to intestinal absorption does not hinder its bioactivity but accelerates its functionality manifolds due to the colonic microbial catabolism in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby protecting the body from local and systemic inflammatory diseases. This review highlights not only the chemistry, digestion, colonic metabolism of non-extractable polyphenols (NEPP) but also summarises the synergistic effect of matrix-bound NEPP exerting local as well as systemic health benefits.

Abstract
Pickering emulsion gels represent a novel class of non-toxic and biocompatible emulsions, offering extensive applications in the pharmaceutical and food additive sectors. This study delineates the synthesis of Pickering emulsion gels utilizing native and amidated pectin samples. Phenylalanine amidated pectin (AP) was procured via an ultra-low temperature enzyme method, while the control group (LP) adhered to an identical procedure without papain catalysis. Experimental outcomes revealed that the AP Pickering emulsion gel manifested superior stability compared to pectin emulsion samples (PE and LP). The Pickering emulsion gel from 5 % amidated pectin (5AP) retained stability throughout a 14-day emulsion stability assessment. Furthermore, all emulsion samples were evaluated for their capacity to deliver and sustain curcumin within an in vitro digestion simulation. Rheological properties and oil droplet size results indicated that the 5AP Pickering emulsion gel exhibited optimal cream index and emulsion stability, effectively inhibiting premature water-oil stratification within the emulsion and augmenting curcumin bioaccessibility. Within the in vitro digestion simulation, the 5AP Pickering emulsion gel demonstrated the highest curcumin bioaccessibility, measured at 17.96 %.

Abstract
A glycosylated protein/procyanidin complex was prepared by self-assembly of glycosylated whey protein isolate and proanthocyanidins (PCs). The complex was characterized through endogenous fluorescence spectroscopy, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, oil-water interfacial tension, and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the degree of protein aggregation could be regulated by controlling the added amount of procyanidin, and the main interaction force between glycosylated protein and PCs was hydrogen bonding or hydrophobic interaction. The optimal binding ratio of protein:PCs was 1:1 (w/w), and the solution pH was 6.0. The resulting glycosylated protein/PC compounds had a particle size of about 119 nm. They exhibited excellent antioxidant and free radical-scavenging abilities. Moreover, the thermal denaturation temperature rose to 113.33 °C. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images show that the emulsion maintains a thick interface layer and improves oxidation resistance with the addition of PCs, increasing the application potential in the functional food industry.

Rosales TKO, Fabi JP. Valorization of polyphenolic compounds from food industry by-products for application in polysaccharide-based nanoparticles. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1144677. [PMID: 37293672 PMCID: PMC10244521 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1144677] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023] Open
Abstract
In the last decades, evidence has indicated the beneficial properties of dietary polyphenols. In vitro and in vivo studies support that the regular intake of these compounds may be a strategy to reduce the risks of some chronic non-communicable diseases. Despite their beneficial properties, they are poorly bioavailable compounds. Thus, the main objective of this review is to explore how nanotechnology improves human health while reducing environmental impacts with the sustainable use of vegetable residues, from extraction to the development of functional foods and supplements. This extensive literature review discusses different studies based on the application of nanotechnology to stabilize polyphenolic compounds and maintain their physical-chemical stability. Food industries commonly generate a significant amount of solid waste. Exploring the bioactive compounds of solid waste has been considered a sustainable strategy in line with emerging global sustainability needs. Nanotechnology can be an efficient tool to overcome the challenge of molecular instability, especially using polysaccharides such as pectin as assembling material. Complex polysaccharides are biomaterials that can be extracted from citrus and apple peels (from the juice industries) and constitute promising wall material stabilizing chemically sensitive compounds. Pectin is an excellent biomaterial to form nanostructures, as it has low toxicity, is biocompatible, and is resistant to human enzymes. The potential extraction of polyphenols and polysaccharides from residues and their inclusion in food supplements may be a possible application to reduce environmental impacts and constitutes an approach for effectively including bioactive compounds in the human diet. Extracting polyphenolics from industrial waste and using nanotechnology may be feasible to add value to food by-products, reduce impacts on nature and preserve the properties of these compounds.

Food Chem 2023; 424:136385. [PMID: 37247597 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Grape pomace (GP), the major winery by-product, is still rich in phenolic compounds, scarcely applied in food systems due to physicochemical instability issues. This work aimed at fabricating gliadin (G)-based nanoparticles through antisolvent precipitation, for delivery of GP extracts, investigating different extraction strategies with ethanol/water solution (70:30 v/v). Interestingly, the fabricated nanoparticles were characterized by a nanometric size range with hydraulic diameter values around 100 nm and ζ-potential of 18-22 mV. The addition of gum arabic (GA), at the optimized G/GA ratio 1:1, improved particle stability and encapsulation efficiency of GP polyphenols. The two-step extraction of GP in the G-rich solvent retrieved from G extraction, as evidenced by total phenolics (1.24 times higher than the two separately obtained extracts G/GP10:10), HPLC-PDA analysis, encapsulation efficiency (62.9% in terms of epicatechin), and simulated digestion (95.6% release of epicatechin), represented the most promising approach to obtain G nanoparticles for efficient delivery of GP extracts.

Abstract
Rice protein is a high-quality plant-based protein source that is gluten-free, with high biological value and low allergenicity. However, the low solubility of rice protein not only affects its functional properties such as emulsification, gelling, and water-holding capacity but also greatly limits its applications in the food industry. Therefore, it is crucial to modify and improve the solubility of rice protein. In summary, this article discusses the underlying causes of the low solubility of rice protein, including the presence of high contents of hydrophobic amino acid residues, disulfide bonds, and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Additionally, it covers the shortcomings of traditional modification methods and the latest compound improvement methods, compares various modification methods, and puts forward the best sustainable, economical, and environmentally friendly method. Finally, this article lists the uses of modified rice protein in dairy, meat, and baked goods, providing a reference for the extensive application of rice protein in the food industry.

Abstract
Emulsion-based delivery systems (EBDSs) can be used as effective carriers for bioactive compounds (bioactives). Recent studies have shown that plant proteins (PLPs) have the potential to be utilized as stabilizers of emulsions for loading, protection and delivery of bioactives. Different strategies combining physical, chemical and biological techniques can be applied for alteration of the structural characteristics and improving the emulsification and encapsulation performance of PLPs. The stability, release, and bioavailability of the encapsulated bioactives can be tailored via optimizing the processing conditions and formulation of the emulsions. This paper presents cutting-edge information on PLP-based emulsions carrying bioactives in terms of their preparation methods, physicochemical characteristics, stability, encapsulation efficiency and release behavior of bioactives. Strategies applied for improvement of emulsifying and encapsulation properties of PLPs used in EBDSs are also reviewed. Special emphasis is given to the use of PLP-carbohydrate complexes for stabilizing bioactive-loaded emulsions.
