Investigating the impact of ultrasound on the structural, physicochemical, and emulsifying characteristics of Dioscorin: Insights from experimental data and molecular dynamics simulation. Food Chem 2024; 453:139581. [PMID: 38754354 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the impact of ultrasound treatment on dioscorin, the primary storage protein found in yam tubers. Three key factors, namely ultrasound power, duration, and frequency, were focused on. The research revealed that ultrasound-induced cavitation effects disrupted non-covalent bonds, resulting in a reduction in α-helix and β-sheet contents, decreased thermal stability, and a decrease in the apparent hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) of dioscorin. Additionally, previously hidden amino acid groups within the molecule became exposed on its surface, resulting in increased surface hydrophobicity (Ho) and zeta-potential. Under specific ultrasound conditions (200 W, 25 kHz, 30 min), Dh decreased while Ho increased, facilitating the adsorption of dioscorin molecules onto the oil-water interface. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations showed that at lower frequencies and pressures, the structural flexibility of dioscorin's main chain atoms increased, leading to more significant fluctuations between amino acid residues. This transformation improved dioscorin's emulsifying properties and its oil-water interface affinity.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:7281-7290. [PMID: 38655901 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Whey protein isolate (WPI) generally represents poor functional properties such as thermal stability, emulsifying activity and antioxidant activity near its isoelectric point or high temperatures, which limit its application in the food industry. The preparation of WPI-polysaccharide covalent conjugates based on Maillard reaction is a promising method to improve the physical and chemical stability and functional properties of WPI. In this research, WPI-inulin conjugates were prepared through wet heating method and ultrasound method and their structural and functional properties were examined. RESULTS In conjugates, the free amino acid content was reduced, the high molecular bands were emerged at sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), new C-N bonds were formed in Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and fluorescence intensity was reduced compared with WPI. Furthermore, the result of circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy also showed that the secondary structure of conjugates was changed. Conjugates with ultrasound treatment had better structural properties compared with those prepared by wet heating treatment. The functional properties such as thermal stability, emulsifying activity index (EAI), emulsion stability (ES) and antioxidant activity of conjugates with wet heating treatment were significantly improved compared with WPI. The EAI and ES of conjugates with ultrasound treatment were the highest, but the thermal stability and antioxidant activity were only close to that of the conjugates with wet heating treatment for 2 h. CONCLUSION This study revealed that WPI-inulin conjugates prepared with ultrasound or wet heating method not only changed the structural characteristics of WPI but also could promote its functional properties including thermal stability, EAI, ES and antioxidant activity. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Ultrasound as Green Technology for the Valorization of Pumpkin Leaves: Intensification of Protein Recovery. Molecules 2024; 29:4027. [PMID: 39274875 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29174027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2024] [Revised: 08/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/16/2024] Open
Abstract
The recovery of valuable nutritional compounds, like proteins, from waste streams and by-products is a key strategy for enhancing production sustainability and opening up new market potential. This research aimed to use high-intensity ultrasound as an innovative technique to extract the soluble proteins from the pumpkin leaves. The impact of various sonication amplitudes and duration periods on protein yield, functional properties, antioxidant qualities, and structural characteristics, were studied. Utilization of ultrasound technology significantly increased the yield of pumpkin leaf protein by up to 40%-six times higher than maceration. The ultrasound extraction provided a RuBisCO-rich protein fraction with high radical scavenging and chelating activities, especially at 40% amplitude. Cavitation modified the tertiary and secondary structures of leaf proteins: the amount of α-helix changed based on amplitude (12.3-37.7%), the amount of random coil increased to 20.4%, and the amount of β-turn reduced from 31 to 18.6%. The alteration of the protein fluorescence spectrum (blue shift in spectrum) provides further evidence that ultrasound alters the proteins' molecular structure in comparation with maceration; the maximum tryptophan fluorescence intensity decreased from 22.000 to 17.096. The hydrophobicity values of 76.8-101.5 were substantially higher than the maceration value of 53.4, indicating that ultrasound improved the hydrophobicity of protein surfaces. Ultrasound resulted in a significant increase in solubility in an acidic environment with the increase in sonication amplitude. A 2.4-fold increase in solubility at pH 2 becomes apparent (20% amplitude; 43.1%) versus maceration (18.2%). The emulsifying ability decreases from 6.62 to 5.13 m2/g once the sonication amplitude increases by 20-70%. By combining the ultrasound periods and amplitudes, it is possible to create high-value protein leaf extracts with improved properties which can find real application as food additives and dietary supplements.

Abstract
The effects of resonant acoustic mixing (RAM) with different treatment times (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 min) on the structural and emulsifying properties of pea protein isolate (PPI) were investigated for the first time. Increasing the RAM treatment time from 0 to 20 min decreased the α-helix/β-sheet ratio and particle size of the PPI samples by 37.84 % and 46.44 %, respectively, accompanied by an increase in solubility from 54.79 % to 71.80 % (P < 0.05). Consequently, the emulsifying activity index of PPI (from 10.45 m2/g to 14.2 m2/g) and the physical stability of RAM-PPI emulsions were effectively enhanced, which was confirmed by the small and uniformly distributed oil droplets in the micrographs of the emulsions. However, excessive RAM treatment (30 min) diminished the effectiveness of the aforementioned improvements. Therefore, obviously enhanced solubility and emulsifying properties of PPI can be attained through proper RAM treatment (15-20 min).

Abstract
The interactions between proteins and chlorogenic acid (CGA) have gained significant attention in recent years, not only as a promising approach to modify the structural and techno-functional properties of proteins but also to enhance their bioactive potential in food systems. These interactions can be divided into covalent (chemical or irreversible) and non-covalent (physical or reversible) linkages. Mechanistically, CGA forms covalent bonds with nucleophilic amino acid residues of proteins by alkaline, free radical, and enzymatic approaches, leading to changes in protein structure and functionality, such as solubility, emulsification properties, and antioxidant activity. In addition, the protein-CGA complexes can be obtained by hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, and van der Waals forces, each offering unique advantages and outcomes. This review highlights the mechanism of these interactions and their importance in modifying the structural, functional, nutritional, and physiological attributes of animal- and plant-based proteins. Moreover, the potential applications of these protein-CGA conjugates/complexes are explored in various food systems, such as beverages, films and coatings, emulsion-based delivery systems, and so on. Overall, this literature review provides an in-depth overview of protein-CGA interactions, offering valuable insights for future research to develop novel protein-based food and non-food products with improved nutritional and functional characteristics.

Abstract
This study investigates the viscoelastic behavior, gelling properties, and structural characteristics of Deccan hemp seed protein (DHSP) to overcome limitations in its application in food formulations. Small amplitude oscillatory shear measurements were employed to investigate the impact of protein concentration, pH, ionic concentration, and temperature on DHSP's rheological features. The study revealed that the 20 % protein dispersion had the highest storage modulus (G') and yield stress at 63.96 ± 0.23 Pa and 0.61 Pa, respectively. DHSP dispersion exhibited pseudo-plastic behavior across various conditions. The gelling performance was higher at pH 4 and 8 and at ionic concentration in the range of 0.1 M - 0.5 M. Gelation time and temperature were observed from the temperature ramp test. Structural characterizations, including fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectra, FTIR spectra, SEM, AFM images, zeta potential analysis, and DSC, provided insights into DHSP's tertiary and secondary conformation, surface characteristics, and thermal properties. Notably, the study highlighted DHSP's exceptional rheological properties, making it a promising gelling material for the food and nutraceutical industries. The findings also offer new insights into DHSP's structural characteristics, suggesting potential applications in food packaging and product development within the food industry.

Ultrasound viscous reduction effects on the proteolysis of soy protein isolate at a limited degree of hydrolysis: Changes in the functional characteristics and protein structure. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 104:106847.

Abstract
High-concentration soy protein isolate was subjected to ultrasonication for viscosity reduction to assist the process of limited enzymatic hydrolysis. Ultrasonication (20 kHz, 10 min, 160 W/L) effectively reduced the viscosity of soy protein isolate at a comparatively high concentration of 14 % (w/v) and promoted the limited enzymatic hydrolysis (controlled degree of hydrolysis of 12 %) with a higher peptide yield than that of the conventional method. The correlations between substrate viscosity and peptide yield, as well as the viscosities of the resulting hydrolysates, were studied. The findings revealed positive correlations between the viscosities of the substrate and hydrolysate, underscoring the potential impact of altering substrate viscosity on the final product. Furthermore, the utilization of ultrasonic viscosity reduction-assisted proteolysis has shown its capability to improve the functional and physicochemical properties, as well as the protein structure of the hydrolysate, while maintaining the same level of hydrolysis. It is worth noting that there were significant alterations in particle size (decrease), β-sheet content (increase), β-turn content (increase), and random coil content (increase). Interestingly, ultrasonication unexpectedly impeded the degradation of molecular mass in proteins during proteolysis, while increasing the hydrophobic properties of the hydrolysate. These findings aligned with the observed reduction in bitterness and improvement in emulsifying properties and water-holding capacity.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 103:106777. [PMID: 38281446 PMCID: PMC10839587 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106777] [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: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
High-intensity ultrasound (HIU) can modify muscle structure, leading to improvements in tenderness. However, factors such as packing type and muscle complexity may attenuate the acoustic cavitation. In this research, the effect of packing thickness (40.6-70 μm) on the quality of bovine Gluteus medius and Biceps femoris treated with HIU (37 kHz, 90 W/cm2, 40 min) was evaluated. The hardness of G. medius decreased significantly as the thickness of the packing bag decreased. The wide interfibrillar and intermyofibrillar spaces corroborated the tenderizing effect. These effects are related to damage of cell structure and changes in the collagen content (3.37 ± 0.1 µg/mL). In addition, the HIU decrease the variability in the water holding capacity of the muscle produced by the use of low thickness bags during storage. The trained sensory panel described the sonicated samples in 50.8 μm bags as less hard and juicier. Contrarily, in B. femoris no significant effects were reported in the variables evaluated. B. femoris is a white muscle, with a high amount of collagen (3.59 ± 0.1 µg/mL) and little intramuscular fat. Consequently, the effect of the HIU on muscle quality is associated with the composition of the muscle fibers and the thickness of the packing bag. HIU application is recommended to improve the quality of leg muscles whenever low-thickness bags (50.8 μm or less) are used.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 101:106696.

Abstract
To improve the protein dissolution rate and the quality of fresh Lycium barbarum pulp (LBP), we optimized the slit dual-frequency ultrasound-assisted pulping process, explored the dissolution kinetics of Lycium barbarum protein (LBPr), and established a near-infrared spectroscopy in situ real-time monitoring model for LBPr dissolution through spectral information analysis and chemometric methods. The results showed that under optimal conditions (dual-frequency 28-33 kHz, 300 W, 31 min, 40 °C, interval ratio 5:2 s/s), ultrasonic treatment not only significantly increased LBPr dissolution rate (increased by 71.48 %, p < 0.05), improved other nutrient contents and color, but also reduced the protein particle size, changed the amino acid composition ratio and protein structure, and increased the surface hydrophobicity, zeta potential, and free sulfhydryl content of protein, as well as the antioxidant activity of LBPr. In addition, ultrasonication significantly improved the functional properties of the protein, including thermal stability, foaming, emulsification and oil absorption capacity. Furthermore, the real-time monitoring model of the dissolution process was able to quantitatively predict the dissolution rate of LBPr with good calibration and prediction performance (Rc = 0.9835, RMSECV = 2.174, Rp = 0.9841, RMSEP = 1.206). These findings indicated that dual-frequency ultrasound has great potential to improve the quality of LBP and may provide a theoretical basis for the establishment of an intelligent control system in the industrialized production of LBP and the functional development of LBPr.

[PMID: 38231732 DOI: 10.3390/foods12234275] [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: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Recently, there has been a growing interest in advancing plant-based or cultured meat substitutes as environmentally and ethically superior alternatives to traditional animal-derived meat. In pursuit of simulating the authentic meat structure, a composite fiber composed primarily of soy protein isolates (SPIs) was fashioned, employing a fiber-based plant-based analog meat construct. To refine the spinning process and enhance fiber quality, we employed ultrasound treatment, a physical modification technique, to scrutinize its influence on SPI protein structure. This inquiry extended to the examination of the interplay between sodium alginate (SA) and SPI, as well as the impact of salt ions on the SA and ultrasound soy protein isolates (USPI) interaction. A comprehensive exploration encompassing ultrasound treatments and salt concentrations within the composite solution, along with their repercussions on composite fiber characterization, with a rise in negative zeta potential value, states the ultrasound treatment fosters protein aggregation. Moreover, the introduction of salt augments protein aggregation as salt content escalates, ultimately resulting in a reduced structural viscosity index and improved spinnability. The presence of Ca2+ ions during the coagulation process leads to interactions with SA. The involvement of ultrasound prompts the exposure of hydrophilic amino acid segments in the protein to water, leading to the development of a more porous structure. Solely under the influence of ultrasound, the fiber exhibits 5% higher water-holding capacity and superior mechanical properties while maintaining comparable thermal stability.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) and high voltage electric discharge (HVED) with water as a green solvent represent promising novel non-thermal techniques for protein extraction from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris var. altissima) leaves. Compared to HVED, US proved to be a better alternative method for total soluble protein extraction with the aim of obtaining high yield of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase enzyme (RuBisCO). Regardless of the solvent temperature, the highest protein yields were observed at 100% amplitude and 9 min treatment time (84.60 ± 3.98 mg/gd.m. with cold and 96.75 ± 4.30 mg/gd.m. with room temperature deionized water). US treatments at 75% amplitude and 9 min treatment time showed the highest abundance of RuBisCO obtained by immunoblotting assay. The highest protein yields recorded among HVED-treated samples were observed at a voltage of 20 kV and a treatment time of 3 min, disregarding the used gas (33.33 ± 1.06 mg/gd.m. with argon and 34.89 ± 1.59 mg/gd.m. with nitrogen as injected gas), while the highest abundance of the RuBisCO among HVED-treated samples was noticed at 25 kV voltage and 3 min treatment time. By optimizing the US and HVED parameters, it is possible to affect the solubility and improve the isolation of RuBisCO, which could then be purified and implemented into new or already existing functional products.

Abstract
In the past decade, the plant-based meat alternative industry has grown rapidly due to consumers' demand for environmental-friendly, nutritious, sustainable and humane choices. Consumers are not only concerned about the positive relationship between food consumption and health, they are also keen on the environmental sustainability. With such increased consumers' demand for meat alternatives, there is an urgent need for identification and modification of protein sources to imitate the functionality, textural, organoleptic and nutritional characteristics of traditional meat products. However, the plant proteins are not readily digestible and require more functionalization and modification are required. Proteins has to be modified to achieve high quality attributes such as solubility, gelling, emulsifying and foaming properties to make them more palatable and digestible. The protein source from the plant source in order to achieve the claims which needs more high protein digestibility and amino acid bioavailability. In order to achieve these newer emerging non-thermal technologies which can operate under mild temperature conditions can reach a balance between feasibility and reduced environmental impact maintaining the nutritional attributes and functional attributes of the proteins. This review article has discussed the mechanism of protein modification and advancements in the application of non-thermal technologies such as high pressure processing and pulsed electric field and emerging oxidation technologies (ultrasound, cold plasma, and ozone) on the structural modification of plant-based meat alternatives to improve, the techno-functional properties and palatability for successful food product development applications.

Abstract
Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) in hemp seed oil is a psychoactive cannabinoid, and the content of Δ9-THC can be reduced. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to simulate the degradation path of Δ9-THC, and the ultrasonic treatment was used to degrade the Δ9-THC in hemp seed oil. Results found that the reaction of Δ9-THC degradation to cannabinol (CBN) was a spontaneous exothermic reaction, which required a certain amount of external energy to initiate reaction process. Through the surface electrostatic potential analysis, the minimum value of electrostatic potential of Δ9-THC was -37.68 kcal/mol, and the maximum value was 40.98 kcal/mol. The frontier molecular orbitals analysis found that the energy level difference of Δ9-THC was lower than that of CBN, indicating that the reactivity of Δ9-THC was stronger. The degradation process of Δ9-THC could be divided into two stages, which needed to cross the reaction energy barriers of 3197.40 and 3087.24 kJ/mol, respectively. Ultrasonic treatment was used to degrade Δ9-THC standard solution, it was found that Δ9-THC can be effectively degraded into CBN through intermediate. Subsequently, ultrasonic technology was applied to hemp seed oil, under the conditions of ultrasonic power 150 W and ultrasonic time 21 min, the Δ9-THC was degraded to 10.00 mg/kg.

Abstract
This study was conducted to prepare walnut protein isolate nanoparticles (nano-WalPI) by pH-cycling, combined with the ultrasound method, to investigate the impact of various nano-WalPI concentrations (0.5~2.5%) and oil volume fractions (20~70%) on the stability of Pickering emulsion, and to improve the comprehensive utilization of walnut residue. The nano-WalPI was uniform in size (average size of 108 nm) with good emulsification properties (emulsifying activity index and stability index of 32.79 m2/g and 1423.94 min, respectively), and it could form a stable O/W-type Pickering emulsion. When the nano-WalPI concentration was 2.0% and the oil volume fraction was 60%, the best stability of Pickering emulsions was achieved with an average size of 3.33 μm, and an elastic weak gel network structure with good thermal stability and storage stability was formed. In addition, the emulsion creaming index value of the Pickering emulsion was 4.67% after 15 days of storage. This study provides unique ideas and a practical framework for the development and application of stabilizers for food-grade Pickering emulsions.

Abstract
In today's food industry, the potential of bioactive compounds in preventing many chronic diseases has garnered significant attention. Many delivery systems have been developed to encapsulate these unstable bioactive compounds. Emulsion gels, as colloidal soft-solid materials, with their unique three-dimensional network structure and strong mechanical properties, are believed to provide excellent protection for bioactive substances. In the context of constructing carriers for bioactive materials, proteins are frequently employed as emulsifiers or gelling agents in emulsions or protein gels. However, in emulsion gels, when protein is used as an emulsifier to stabilize the oil/water interface, the gelling properties of proteins can also have a great influence on the functionality of the emulsion gels. Therefore, this paper aims to focus on the role of proteins' emulsifying and gelling properties in emulsion gels, providing a comprehensive review of the formation and modification of protein-based emulsion gels to build high-quality emulsion gel systems, thereby improving the stability and bioavailability of embedded bioactive substances.

Abstract
Recently, plant protein as a necessary nutrient source for human beings, a common ingredient of traditional processed food, and an important element of new functional food has gained prominence due to the increasing demand for healthy food. Walnut protein (WP) is obtained from walnut kernels and walnut oil-pressing waste and has better nutritional, functional, and essential amino acids in comparison with other vegetable and grain proteins. WP can be conveniently obtained by various extraction techniques, including alkali-soluble acid precipitation, salting-out, and ultrasonic-assisted extraction, among others. The functional properties of WP can be modified for desired purposes by using some novel methods, including free radical oxidation, enzymatic modification, high hydrostatic pressure, etc. Moreover, walnut peptides play an important biological role both in vitro and in vivo. The main activities of the walnut peptides are antihypertensive, antioxidant, learning improvement, and anticancer, among others. Furthermore, WP could be applied in the development of functional foods or dietary supplements, such as delivery systems and food additives, among others. This review summarizes recent knowledge on the nutritional, functional, and bioactive peptide aspects of WP and possible future products, providing a theoretical reference for the utilization and development of oil crop waste.

Abstract
The β-conglycinin (7S) was pre-treated with high-intensity ultrasonic (HIU) and subsequently formed into composite edible films with the transglutaminase (TGase) method. Effects of HIU pretreatment time (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 min) on the conformation of 7S and structural and application properties of 7S-TGase films were evaluated. The analysis of 7S conformation results revealed that HIU pretreatment for 0-10 min significantly dissociated the 7S, exposed internal hydrophobic groups of protein, increased its intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and altered the protein secondary and tertiary structure. The structural properties of films were evaluated by SEM, XRD, and ATR-FTIR. SEM showed that HIU reduced film wrinkles and cracks and improved unevenness. XRD and ATR-FTIR indicated that the film obtained an enlarged crystallinity, and the amide I and amide II regions of films were peak-shifted which is usually associated with the formation of covalent bonds. Notably, analysis of intermolecular force showed that HIU facilitated the formation of hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and ε-(γ-glutamyl) lysine bonds in 7S-TGase films. The above structural changes in 7S and films were beneficial for the application properties of films. Results indicated that 10 min HIU pretreatment effectively improved the mechanical properties and water resistance, reduced water vapor permeability and oxygen permeability, and decreased the opacity of 7S-TGase films. However, the color of the film was not affected by the HIU, with an overall bright and yellowish color.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of ultrasound treatment on the texture, physicochemical properties and protein structure of composite gels prepared by salted egg white (SEW) and cooked soybean protein isolate (CSPI) at different ratios were investigated. With the increased SEW addition, the ζ-potential absolute values, soluble protein content, surface hydrophobicity and swelling ratio of composite gels showed overall declining trends (P < 0.05), while the free sulfhydryl (SH) contents and hardness of exhibited overall increasing trends (P < 0.05). Microstructural results revealed that composite gels exhibited denser structure with the increased SEW addition. After ultrasound treatment, the particle size of composite protein solutions significantly decreased (P < 0.05), and the free SH contents of ultrasound-treated composite gels were lower than that of untreated composite gels. Moreover, ultrasound treatment enhanced the hardness of composite gels, and promoted the conversion of free water into non-flowable water. However, when ultrasonic power exceeded 150 W, the hardness of composite gels could not be further enhanced. FTIR results indicated that ultrasound treatment facilitated the composite protein aggregates to form a more stable gel structure. The improvement of ultrasound treatment on the properties of composite gels was mainly by promoting the dissociation of protein aggregates, and the dissociated protein particles further interacted to form denser aggregates through disulfide bond, thus facilitating the crosslinking and reaggregation of protein aggregates to form denser gel structure. Overall, ultrasound treatment is an effective approach to improve the properties of SEW-CSPI composite gels, which can improve the potential utilization of SEW and SPI in food processing.

Wang R, Zeng MQ, Wu YW, Teng YX, Wang LH, Li J, Xu FY, Chen BR, Han Z, Zeng XA. Enhanced encapsulation of lutein using soy protein isolate nanoparticles prepared by pulsed electric field and pH shifting treatment. Food Chem 2023; 424:136386. [PMID: 37236083 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136386] [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: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
In this study, soy protein isolate (SPI) was modified by a pulsed electric field (PEF) combined with pH shifting treatment (10 kV/cm, pH 11) to prepare SPI nanoparticles (PSPI11) for efficient loading of lutein. The results showed that when the mass ratio of SPI to lutein was 25:1, the encapsulation efficiency of lutein in PSPI11 increased from 54% to 77%, and the loading capacity increased by 41% compared to the original SPI. The formed SPI-lutein composite nanoparticles (PSPI11-LUTNPs) had smaller, more homogeneous sizes and larger negative charges than SPI7-LUTNPs. The combined treatment favored the unfolding of the SPI structure and could expose its interior hydrophobic groups to bind with lutein. Nanocomplexation with SPIs significantly improved the solubility and stability of lutein, with PSPI11 showing the greatest improvement. As a result, PEF combined with pH shifting pretreatment is an effective method for developing SPI nanoparticles loaded and protected with lutein.

Abstract
The aging population and high incidence of age-related diseases are major global societal issues. Consuming bioactive substances as part of our diet is increasingly recognized as essential for ensuring a healthy life for older adults. Wheat germ protein has a reasonable peptide structure and amino acid ratio but has not been fully utilized and exploited, resulting in wasted wheat germ resources. This review summarizes reformational extraction methods of wheat germ protein/peptides (WGPs), of which different methods can be selected to obtain various WGPs. Interestingly, except for some bioactive activities found earlier, WGPs display potential anti-aging activity, with possible mechanisms including antioxidant, immunomodulatory and intestinal flora regulation. However, there are missing in vitro and in vivo bioactivity assessments of WGPs. WGPs possess physicochemical properties of good foamability, emulsification and water retention and are used as raw materials or additives to improve food quality. Based on the above, further studies designing methods to isolate particular types of WGPs, determining their nutritional and bioactive mechanisms and verifying their activity in vivo in humans are crucial for using WGPs to improve human health.

Abstract
Currently, as a promising alternative protein source, the interest of edible insect protein has been continuously increased. However, the extraction processing had distinct effects on the physicochemical properties and functionalities of this novel and sustainable protein. In this study, Tenebrio molitor larvae protein (TMLP) was extracted via ultrasound (US)-assisted alkaline extraction. The changes of extraction kinetics, physicochemical characteristics, and functional properties of TMLP as a function of US time (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 min) were investigated. The results showed that 30 min US treatment rendered the maximum protein yield (60.04 %) (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, Peleg's model was considered a suitable model to represent the extraction kinetics of TMLP, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9942. Moreover, the protein secondary structure, particle size, and amino acid profiles of TMLP were changed under the US-assisted alkaline extraction process. Additionally, a significant improvement of the functional properties of TMLP extracted with this method was observed compared to traditional alkaline extraction. In conclusion, the present work suggests that US-assisted alkaline extraction could be considered as a potential method to improve the protein yield, quality profiles, and functional properties of TMLP.

Abstract
The effect of alkali-induced oxidation of three phenolic acids, namely gallic acid, epigallocatechin gallate, and tannic acid, on the structure and gelation of ginkgo seed protein isolate (GSPI) was investigated. A mixture of 12% (w/v) GSPI and different concentrations of alkali-treated phenolic acids (0, 0.06, 0.24, and 0.48% w/w) were heated at 90 °C, pH 6.0, for 30 min to form composite gels. The phenolic treatment decreased the hydrophobicity of the GSPI sol while enhancing their rheological properties. Despite a reduced protein solubility, water holding capacity, stiffness, and viscoelasticity of the gels were improved by the treatments. Among them, the modification effect of 0.24% (w/v) EGCG was the most prominent. Through the analysis of microstructure and composition, it was found to be due to the covalent addition, disulfide bond formation, etc., between the quinone derivatives of phenolic acids and the side chains of nucleophilic amino acids. Phenolic acid modification of GSPI may be a potential ingredient strategy in its processing.

Abstract
Edible insects have been considered as a sustainable and novel protein source to replace animal-derived proteins. The present study aimed to extract Tenebrio molitor larvae proteins (TMP) using ultrasound-assisted alkaline extraction (UAE). Effects of different UAE times (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 min) on the structural properties and in vitro digestibility of TMP were comparatively investigated with the traditional alkaline extraction method. The results revealed that ultrasonication could effectively alter the secondary/tertiary structures and thermal stability of TMP during UAE. The molecular unfolding and subsequent aggregation of TMP during UAE were mainly attributed to the formation of disulfide bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Moreover, TMP extracted by UAE had higher in vitro digestibility and digestion kinetics than those extracted without ultrasound, and the intermediate UAE time (30 min) was the optimal ultrasound parameter. However, longer UAE times (40 and 50 min) lowered the digestibility of TMP due to severe protein aggregation. The present work provides a potential strategy for the extraction of TMP with higher nutritional values.

Abstract
Interactions between plant-based proteins (PP) and phenolic compounds (PC) occur naturally in many food products. Recently, special attention has been paid to the fabrication of PP-PC conjugates or complexes in model systems with a focus on their effects on their structure, functionality, and health benefits. Conjugates are held together by covalent bonds, whereas complexes are held together by noncovalent ones. This review highlights the nature of protein-phenolic interactions involving PP. The interactions of these PC with the PP in model systems are discussed, as well as their impact on the structural, functional, and health-promoting properties of PP. The PP in conjugates and complexes tend to be more unfolded than in their native state, which often improves their functional attributes. PP-PC conjugates and complexes often exhibit improved in vitro digestibility, antioxidant activity, and potential allergy-reducing activities. Consequently, they may be used as antioxidant emulsifiers, edible film additives, nanoparticles, and hydrogels in the food industry. However, studies focusing on the application of PP-PC conjugates and complexes in real foods are still scarce. Further research is therefore required to determine the structure-function relationships of PP-PC conjugates and complexes that may influence their application as functional ingredients in the food industry.

Abstract
Plant proteins have high nutritional value, a wide range of sources and low cost. However, it is easily affected by the environmental factors of processing and lead the problem of poor functionality. These problems of plant proteins can be improved by the polysaccharides induced Maillard reaction. The interaction between proteins and polysaccharides through Maillard reaction can change the structure of proteins as well as improve the functional properties and biological activity. The products of Maillard reaction, such as reductone intermediates, heterocyclic compounds and melanoidins have certain antioxidant, antibacterial and other biological activities. However, heterocyclic amines, acrylamide, and products generated in the advanced stage of the Maillard reaction also have a negative impact, which may increase cytotoxicity and be associated with chronic diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively control the process of Maillard reaction. This review focuses on the modification of plant proteins by polysaccharide-induced Maillard reaction and the effects of Maillard reaction on protein structure, functional properties and biological activity. It also points out how to accurately reflect the changes of protein structure in Maillard reaction. In addition, it also points out the application ways of plant protein-polysaccharide complexes in the food industry, for example, emulsifiers, delivery carriers of functional substances, and natural antioxidants due to their improved solubility, emulsifying, gelling and antioxidant properties. This review provides theoretical support for controlling Maillard reaction based on protein structure.

Abstract
In this study, emulsion gels were prepared by sonicated grass pea protein isolates (GPPI) at different ultrasonic amplitudes (25, 50 and 75 %) and times (5, 10 and 20 min). Formation of emulsion gels was induced by transglutaminase. Enzymatic gelation of emulsions stabilized by sonicated GPPI occurred in two stages. A relatively fast stage led to the formation of a weak gel which was followed by a slow stage that strongly reinforced the gel structure. Emulsion gels fabricated by sonicated GPPIs showed a homogeneous and uniform droplet distribution with higher elastic modulus compared to the native protein. A stiffer emulsion gel with a higher G' was formed after the protein was treated at 75 % amplitude for 10 min. After sonication of GPPI, the water holding capacity (WHC) of emulsion gels increased in accordance with the mechanical properties. Higher intermolecular cross-linking within the gel network increased the thermal stability of emulsion gels fabricated by sonicated GPPI. Although sonicated-GPPI emulsion gels clearly displayed homogenous microstructure in comparison to that made with native GPPI, the microstructures of these gels were nearly identical for all sonication amplitudes and times.

Abstract
Herein, 1 wt% quinoa protein isolate (QPI) was exposed to sonication using a 20 kHz ultrasonicator equipped with a 6 mm horn (14.4 W, 10 mL, up to 15 min) or high hydrostatic pressure (HHP, up to 600 MPa, 15 min) treatments at pH 5, pH 7, and pH 9. The changes to physicochemical properties were probed by SDS-PAGE, FTIR, free sulfhydryl group (SH), surface hydrophobicity (H0), particle size and solubility. As revealed by SDS-PAGE, substantial amounts of 11S globulin participated in the formations of aggregates via SS bond under HHP, particularly at pH 7 and pH 9. However, protein profiles of QPI were not significantly affected by the sonication. Free SH groups and surface hydrophobicity were increased after the sonication treatment indicating protein unfolding and exposure of the embedded SH and/or hydrophobic groups. An opposite trend was observed in HHP treated samples, implying aggregation and reassociation of structures under HHP. HHP and sonication treatments induced a decrease in ordered secondary structures (random coil and β-turn) accompanied with an increase in disordered secondary structures (α-helix and β-sheet) as probed by FTIR. Finally, the sonication treatment induced a significant improvement in the solubility (up to ∼3 folds at pH 7 and ∼2.6 folds at pH 9) and a reduction in particle sizes (up to ∼3 folds at pH 7 and ∼4.4 folds at pH 9). However, HHP treatment (600 MPa) only slightly increased the solubility (∼1.6 folds at pH 7 and ∼1.2 folds at pH 9) and decreased the particle size (∼1.3 folds at pH 7 and ∼1.2 folds at pH 9). This study provides a direct comparison of the impacts of sonication and HHP treatment on QPI, which will enable to choose the appropriate processing methods to achieve tailored properties of QPI.

Abstract
Proteins from alternative sources including terrestrial and aquatic plants, microbes and insects are being increasingly explored to combat the dietary, environmental and ethical challenges linked primarily to conventional sources of protein, mainly meat and dairy proteins. Ultrasound (US) technologies have emerged as a clean, green and efficient methods for the extraction of proteins from alternative sources compared to conventional methods. However, the application of US can also lead to modifications of the proteins extracted from alternative sources, including changes in their nutritional quality (protein content, amino acid composition, protein digestibility, anti-nutritional factors) and allergenicity, as well as damage of the compounds associated with an increased degradation resulting from extreme US processing conditions. This work aims to summarise the main advances in US equipment currently available to date, including the main US parameters and their effects on the extraction of protein from alternative sources, as well as the studies available on the effects of US processing on the nutritional value, allergenicity and degradation damage of these alternative protein ingredients. The main research gaps identified in this work and future challenges associated to the widespread application of US and their scale-up to industry operations are also covered in detail.

Abstract
Plant-based proteins are gaining in attraction compared with animal-based proteins due to their superior ethical profiles, growing concerns on the part of various organizations about animal health and welfare, and increased global greenhouse-gas emissions in meat production. In this study, the response surface methodology (RSM) using a Box-Behnken design (BBD) was applied to optimize the ultrasound-assisted alkaline extraction of cherimoya-seed proteins as valuable by-products. The effects of three pH, temperature, and time factors on the protein-extraction yield and protein content were investigated. The pH at 10.5 and temperature of 41.8 °C for 26.1 min were considered the optimal ultrasound-assisted alkaline-extraction conditions since they provided the maximum extraction yield (17.3%) and protein content (65.6%). An established extraction technique was employed to enhance the cherimoya-seed protein yield, purity, and functional properties. A thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the samples showed that the ultrasound-assisted alkaline extraction improved the thermal stability of the protein concentrate.

Abstract
The recent trend in consumption of plant-based protein over animal protein opens up a new avenue for sustainable agriculture practice, less environmental impact and greenhouse gas emission. The modification of plant-based proteins by novel non-thermal technologies includes the structural transformation followed by the modulation of their functional properties that are exploited to develop a protein ingredient system for application in food formulation. This review explores the impact of non-thermal process technologies on structural modification of plant proteins followed by improvement in protein's function in food formulation. Novel concepts articulating the impact of non-thermal technologies on structural and functional modification of plant proteins affecting it's digestibility and bioavailability are addressed. Limitations and prospects of applying non-thermal technologies in developing an alternative plant-based protein food system are also summarized. Non-thermal processes are considered as the emerging technologies that results in conformational changes in secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of plant proteins which helps in modification of functional properties without jeopardizing the organoleptic properties and bioactivity of the protein. However, extensive future study is needed to optimize the non-thermal process parameters along with the finding of new protein sources to achieve healthy and sustainable plant-based food system.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the impact of multi-mode S-type ultrasound treatment on the protein extraction level of walnut dregs. The structural properties of the walnut protein (WP) were characterized, and the correlation between protein structure and extraction level was analyzed. The in situ real-time monitoring model for the ultrasound-assisted WP extraction process was established by a miniature fiber near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer. Results showed that the protein yield, purity, and comprehensive extraction index (CEI) of extracted WP were 71.07 %, 72.69 %, and 71.72, respectively, under optimal conditions (dual-frequency 20/28 kHz, ultrasonic treatment duration 30 min, and ultrasound power density 120 W/L). The secondary structure of extracted WP displayed that the proportion of α-helix and β-sheet reduced, while the contents of β-turn and random coil increased after ultrasonic treatment. Besides, sonication decreased the disulfide bond content and increased free sulfhydryl (-SH) and surface hydrophobicity compared to the control. The microstructures of WP confirmed that appropriate sonication could unfold the protein aggregates and reduce the particle size. The extraction level of WP is positively correlated with the -SH content (p < 0.01). The quantitative prediction model of Si-PLS for -SH content in the ultrasound-assisted WP extraction process was established and performed a good correction and prediction performance (Rc = 0.9736; RMSECV = 0.446 μmol/L; Rp = 0.9342; RMSEP = 0.807 μmol/L). This study exploited a high-efficiency way for the WP extraction industry, and provided theoretical support for the development of the intelligent system in industrial protein extraction process.

Ultrasonic-assisted pH shift-induced interfacial remodeling for enhancing the emulsifying and foaming properties of perilla protein isolate. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2022; 89:106108.

Abstract
In order to expand the applications of plant protein in food formulations, enhancement of its functionalities is meaningful. Herein, the effects of ultrasonic (20 KHz, 400 W, 20 min)-assisted pH shift (pH 10 and 12) treatment on the structure, interfacial behaviors, as well as the emulsifying and foaming properties of perilla protein isolate (PPI) were investigated. Results showed that the solubility of PPI treated by ultrasonic-assisted pH shift (named UPPI-10/12) exceeded 90 %, which was at least 2 and 1.4 times that of untreated PPI and ultrasound-based PPI. Meanwhile, UPPI-10/12 possessed higher foamability (increasing by at least 1.2 times) and good emulsifying stability. Ultrasonic-assisted pH shift treatment decomposed large PPI aggregates into tiny particles, evident from the dynamic light scattering (DLS) and atomic force microscopy results. Besides, this approach induced a decrease in α-helix of PPI and an increase in β-sheet, which might result in the exposure of the hydrophobic group on the structural surface of PPI, thus leading to the increase of surface hydrophobicity. The smaller size and higher hydrophobicity endowed UPPI-10/12 faster adsorption rate, tighter interfacial structure, and higher elastic modulus at the air- and oil-water interfaces, evident from the cryo-SEM and interfacial dilatational rheological results. Thus, the emulsifying and foaming properties could evidently enhance. This study demonstrated that ultrasonic-assisted pH shift technique was a simple approach to effectively improve the functional performance of PPI.

Abstract
Tenderness could measure the eating quality of meat. The mechanism of muscle tenderization is becoming more and more critical in the past decade. Since the transforming of muscle into edible meat requires a complex physiological and biochemical process, the related tenderization of meat can be beneficial to improving the meat quality. As a non-thermal processing technology with energy-saving, environmental protection, and intense penetration, ultrasonic treatment has been widely used in the tenderizing process of meat products. In this paper, the principle of meat tenderization, the ultrasonic technology, and the application of ultrasonic technology in meat tenderization is summarized. The effect of ultrasonic technology on the tenderization of meat products is discussed from different perspectives (muscle fibers and connective tissue properties).

Abstract
In order to improve the oil adsorption capacity of chickpea protein, enzymatic cross-linking combined ultrasound was used to modify chickpea protein. Electrophoretic results showed that enzymatic cross-linking made the protein bands thinner, but ultrasound had no significant effect. The oil adsorption capacity of chickpea protein increased from 1.88 to 2.43 g/g; the surface hydrophobicity increased from 3933 to 4575; the zeta potential and emulsification performance were improved.After enzymatic cross-linking, the content of the free sulfhydryl group and emulsifying stability were decreased, and the particle size and the content of disulfide bonds were increased.After ultrasonic treatment, these properties showed an opposite trend. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy showed that β-turn and random coil increased, the structure of protein became more loose and disordered. These results indicate that enzymatic cross-linking combined with ultrasound improves the functional properties of chickpea protein and extends its application.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) deficiency can cause many diseases and thereby affect human health. Traditional inorganic Se supplements have disadvantages of toxicity and low bioavailability. Se-Enriched proteins exhibit good bio-accessibility and high biological activities. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the preparation, purification, identification, bioavailability, bioactivities and application of Se-enriched proteins. The method of extracting Se-enriched proteins from animals, microorganisms and plants mainly includes solvent extraction (water, salt, ethanol and alkali solution extraction) and novel extraction technologies (ultrasound-assisted and pulsed electric field assisted extraction). Se-Enriched proteins and their hydrolysates exhibit good bioactivities, mainly including antioxidant activity, immune regulation, neuroprotective activity, and inhibition of hyperglycemic activity, among others. Future research should focus on the relationship between Se-enriched protein metabolism and the selenium regulatory protein metabolic pathway by using multi-omics technology. In addition, it is necessary to comprehensively study the structure-activity relationship of Se-enriched proteins/hydrolysates from different sources, to further clarify their bioactive mechanism and to verify their health benefits in vivo.
