Abstract
BACKGROUND Wheat proteins can be divided into water/salt-soluble protein (albumin/globulin) and water/salt-insoluble protein (gliadins and glutenins (Glu)) according to solubility. Gliadins (Glia) are one of the major allergens in wheat. The inhibition of Glia antigenicity by conventional processing techniques was not satisfactory. RESULTS In this study, free radical oxidation was used to induce covalent reactions. The effects of covalent reactions by high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) of different powers was compared. The enhancement of covalent grafting effectiveness between gliadin and (-)-epigallo-catechin 3-gallate (EGCG) was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry and Folin-Ciocalteu tests. HIU caused protein deconvolution and disrupted the intrastrand disulfide bonds that maintain the tertiary structure, causing a shift in the side chain structure, as proved by Fourier, fluorescence and Raman spectroscopic analysis. Comparatively, the antigenic response of the conjugates formed in the sonication environment was significantly weaker, while these conjugates were more readily hydrolyzed and less antigenic during simulated gastrointestinal fluid digestion. CONCLUSION HIU-enhanced free radical oxidation caused further transformation of the spatial structure of Glia, which hid or destroyed the antigenic epitope, effectively inhibiting protein antigenicity. This study widened the application of polyphenol modification in the inhibition of wheat allergens. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Egg proteins, notably ovalbumin (OVA), contribute to a prevalent form of food allergy, particularly in children. This study aims to investigate the impact of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment at varying levels (300, 400, 500, and 600 MPa) on the molecular structure and allergenicity of OVA. The structure of HHP-treated OVA was assessed through fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. HHP treatment (600 MPa) altered OVA structures, such as α-helix content decreased from 28.07 % to 19.47 %, and exogenous fluorescence intensity increased by 8.8 times compared to that of the native OVA. The free sulfhydryl groups and zeta potential value were also increased with HHP treatment (600 MPa). ELISA analysis and MD simulation unveiled a noteworthy reduction in the allergenicity of OVA when subjected to 600 MPa for 10 min. Overall, this study suggests that the conformational changes in HHP-treated OVA contribute to its altered allergenicity.

A comparative evaluation of the structure, functionality and volatile profiles of Trichosanthes kirilowii seed protein isolates based on different extraction methods. Food Chem 2024; 443:138547. [PMID: 38271897 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
In the present study, we hypothesised that Trichosanthes kirilowii seed protein isolate (TPI) obtained by different extraction methods have distinct structure, functional attributes and volatile profiles. Alkaline-extracted isolate (AE-TPI) exhibited lower protein content and a darker colour than the other two isolates because more polyphenols and pigments were coextracted. Salt-extracted isolate (SE-TPI) and AE-TPI had higher in vitro protein digestibility than reverse micelle-extracted isolate (RME-TPI) due to higher degrees of denaturation, which enabled them to be more susceptible to proteolysis. The SE-TPI gel resulted in a stronger gel network and greater hardness than the other two isolate gels. In the volatile profile, SE-TPI (22) yielded the largest number of volatile compounds, followed by AE-TPI (20) and RME-TPI (15). The current results indicated that the structure, functional properties and volatile profiles of TPI are largely influenced by the extraction technique.

Applications of high-intensity ultrasound on shrimp: Potential, constraints, and prospects in the extraction and retrieval of bioactive compounds, safety, and quality. J Food Sci 2024; 89:3148-3166. [PMID: 38685866 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.17093] [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: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
The global shrimp market holds substantial prominence within the food industry, registering a significant USD 24.7 billion in worldwide exportation in 2020. However, the production of a safe and high-quality product requires consideration of various factors, including the potential for allergenic reactions, occurrences of foodborne outbreaks, and risks of spoilage. Additionally, the exploration of the recovery of bioactive compounds (e.g., astaxanthin [AX], polyunsaturated fatty acids, and polysaccharides) from shrimp waste demands focused attention. Within this framework, this review seeks to comprehend and assess the utilization of high-intensity ultrasound (HIUS), both as a standalone method and combined with other technologies, within the shrimp industry. The objective is to evaluate its applications, limitations, and prospects, with a specific emphasis on delineating the impact of sonication parameters (e.g., power, time, and temperature) on various applications. This includes an examination of undesirable effects and identifying areas of interest for current and prospective research. HIUS has demonstrated promise in enhancing the extraction of bioactive compounds, such as AX, lipids, and chitin, while concurrently addressing concerns such as allergen reduction (e.g., tropomyosin), inactivation of pathogens (e.g., Vibrio parahaemolyticus), and quality improvement, manifesting in reduced melanosis scores and improved peelability. Nonetheless, potential impediments, particularly related to oxidation processes, especially those associated with lipids, pose a hindrance to its widespread implementation, potentially impacting texture properties. Consequently, further optimization studies remain imperative. Moreover, novel applications of sonication in shrimp processing, including brining, thawing, and drying, represent a promising avenue for expanding the utilization of HIUS in the shrimp industry.

Abstract
In vivo biological regulations of the allergenicity of tropomyosin (TM) treated by cold plasma (CP) were investigated by in vivo mouse model. The sensitization models of Balb/c mice were successfully established. CP treatment reduced the allergic symptoms of mice and regulated the Th1/Th2 balance to prevent allergy by activating Treg cells, which was deduced by serum and cytokines analysis. For intestinal flora analysis, allergy occurrence was accompanied by the decreased species abundance and the increased species diversity of intestinal flora. The significant species composition difference between the TM group and the PBS group showed a possible connection between bacterial diversity and allergy. Furthermore, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Parabacteroides, Alloprevotella, Bacteroides, and Lachnospiraceae could relate to allergy occurrence. Intestinal section analysis suggested that allergy occurrence was accompanied by the damaged intestinal structure, and CP treatment could relieve the damage caused by an allergy.

Abstract
Edible insects are a highly nutritious source of protein and are enjoyed by people all over the world. Insects contain various other nutrients and beneficial compounds, such as lipids, vitamins and minerals, chitin, phenolic compounds, and antimicrobial peptides, which contribute to good health. The practice of insect farming is far more resource-efficient compared to traditional agriculture and animal husbandry, requiring less land, energy, and water, and resulting in a significantly lower carbon footprint. In fact, insects are 12 to 25 times more efficient than animals in converting low-protein feed into protein. When it comes to protein production per unit area, insect farming only requires about one-eighth of the land needed for beef production. Moreover, insect farming generates minimal waste, as insects can consume food and biomass that would otherwise go to waste, contributing to a circular economy that promotes resource recycling and reuse. Insects can be fed with agricultural waste, such as unused plant stems and food scraps. Additionally, the excrement produced by insects can be used as fertilizer for crops, completing the circular chain. Despite the undeniable sustainability and nutritional benefits of consuming insects, widespread acceptance of incorporating insects into our daily diets still has a long way to go. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the nutritional value of edible insects, the development of farming and processing technologies, and the problems faced in the marketing of edible insect products and insect foods to improve the reference for how people choose edible insects.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The globally rising food allergy prevalence is associated with the urgent need for new disease prevention methods, efficient treatment, and reliable risk assessment methods for characterization of food allergens. Due to inter-individual variations in the digestive system, food allergens are degraded to a different extent in each person. Food processing also influences allergen digestion. RECENT FINDINGS In this review, we provide an overview of the digestive system with focus on relevance for food allergy. Main food proteins causing allergic reactions are evaluated, and the combined role of food processing and digestion for allergen stability is highlighted. Finally, clinical implications of this knowledge are discussed. Recent literature shows that allergen digestibility is dependent on food processing, digestive conditions, and food matrix. Digestion affects proteins allergenicity. It is currently not possible to predict the immunogenicity of allergens solely based on protein stability.

Abstract
Food allergies represent a serious health concern and, since the 1990s, they have risen gradually in high-income countries. Unfortunately, the problem is complex because genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors may be collectively involved. Prevention and diagnoses have not yet evolved into efficacious therapies. Identification and control of allergens present in edible substances hold promise for multi-purpose biomedical approaches, including oral immunotherapy. This review highlights recent studies and methods to modify the otherwise innocuous native proteins in most subjects, and how oral treatments targeting immune responses could help cancel out the potential risks in hypersensitive individuals, especially children. We have focused on some physical methods that can easily be conducted, along with chemo-enzymatic modifications of allergens by means of peptides and phytochemicals in particular. The latter, accessible from naturally-occurring substances, provide an added value to hypoallergenic matrices employing vegetal wastes, a point where food chemistry meets sustainable goals as well.

Abstract
High-intensity ultrasound (HIU) is considered one of the promising non-chemical eco-friendly techniques used in food processing. Recently (HIU) is known to enhance food quality, extraction of bioactive compounds and formulation of emulsions. Various foods are treated with ultrasound, including fats, bioactive compounds, and proteins. Regarding proteins, HIU induces acoustic cavitation and bubble formation, causing the unfolding and exposure of hydrophobic regions, resulting in functional, bioactive, and structural enhancement. This review briefly portrays the impact of HIU on the bioavailability and bioactive properties of proteins; the effect of HIU on protein allergenicity and anti-nutritional factors has also been discussed. HIU can enhance bioavailability and bioactive attributes in plants and animal-based proteins, such as antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity, and peptide release. Moreover, numerous studies revealed that HIU treatment could enhance functional properties, increase the release of short-chain peptides, and decrease allergenicity. HIU could replace the chemical and heat treatments used to enhance protein bioactivity and digestibility; however, its applications are still on research and small scale, and its usage in industries is yet to be implemented.

[PMID: 36898250 PMCID: PMC10020100 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The pro-inflammation activity of litchi thaumatin-like protein (LcTLP) led to be responsible for the occurrence of adverse reactions after excessive consumption of litchi. This study aimed to characterize the changes in the structure and inflammatory activity of LcTLP induced by ultrasound treatment. Significant molecular structure of LcTLP changes occured at 15 min ultrasound treatment, and then tended to recover with subsequent treatment. Secondary structure (α-helices decreased from 17.3% to 6.3%), tertiary structure (the maximum endogenous fluorescence intensity decreased), and microstructure (mean hydrodynamic diameter reduced from 4 μm to 50 nm) of the LcTLP treated for 15 min (LT15) were significantly affected, which led to the inflammatory epitope of LcTLP (domain II and V-cleft) unfolded. In vitro, LT15 had a significant anti-inflammatory response, which inhibited NO production and had the best effect at 50 ng/mL in RAW264.7 macrophages (73.24%). Moreover, proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion and mRNA expression levels were also significantly lower compared with untreated LcTLP (p < 0.05). Western blot further confirmed that the expressions of IκB-α, p65, p38, ERK and JNK reduced markedly (p < 0.05), which indicated LT15 inhibited the inflammatory response through NF-κB and MAPK transduction pathways. Overall, it can be hypothesized that LT15 exposed to low frequency ultrasonic fields have a direct effect on the protein surface structure and thus on the entry of LT15 into cells, making 15-minute ultrasound treatment potentially useful in reducing the pro-inflammatory properties of litchi or related liquid products.

The Impact of High-Intensity Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction on the Structural and Functional Properties of Hempseed Protein Isolate (HPI). Foods 2023; 12:foods12020348.

Abstract
Hempseed protein has become a promising candidate as a future alternative protein source due to its high nutritional value. In the current study, hempseed protein isolate (HPI) was obtained using ultrasonic-assisted extraction with the aim to improve the functionality of HPI via protein structure modification. The solubility of HPI could be improved twofold under 20 kHz ultrasound processing compared to conventional alkaline extraction-isoelectric point precipitation. The protein solubility was gradually enhanced as the ultrasonic power improved, whereas excessive ultrasound intensity would cause a decline in protein solubility. Ultrasonic processing was found to have beneficial effects on the other functionalities of the extracted HPI, such as emulsifying and foaming properties. This improvement can be ascribed to the physical effects of acoustic cavitation that changed the secondary and tertiary structures of the protein to enhance surface hydrophobicity and decrease the particle size of the extracted protein aggregates. In addition, more available thiols were observed in US-treated samples, which could be another reason for improved functionality. However, the results of this study also revealed that prolonged high-power ultrasound exposure may eventually have a detrimental impact on HPI functional properties due to protein aggregation. Overall, this study suggests that high intensity ultrasound can enhance the functionality of HPI, which may ultimately improve its value in HPI-based food products.

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
The manufacture of vegetal beverages has the drawback of producing large amounts of press cakes that are generally used as feed components. This work had the objective of valorizing the press cakes deriving from almond and coconut drinks production by using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) to obtain protein ingredients for human use. Starting from coconut and almond press cakes, whose initial protein contents were 19.7% and 18.6%, respectively, the UAE treatment allowed liquid fractions to be obtained that were then freeze-dried: the extraction yields were 24.4 g dry extract/100 g press cake in case of coconut and 49.3 g dry extract/100 g press cake in case of almond. The protein contents of these dried materials were 30.10% and 22.88%, respectively. The quality of the extracted protein ingredients was assessed in term of phytic acid content, protein profile, techno-functional features, and antioxidant properties. The sonication had also a favorable effect on digestibility.

Abstract
AbstractThe effect of thermal and ultrasound treatments on denaturation and allergenicity of Pru p 3, the major peach allergenic protein, was determined. The degree of denaturation of Pru p 3 was estimated by sandwich ELISA using specific rabbit IgG, that was previously developed. Validation of ELISA test showed high sensitivity and specificity, and acceptable results of precision and robustness. Allergenicity of Pru p 3 was determined by immunofluorescent assay using three pools of sera from peach allergic individuals. Denaturation of Pru p 3 was dependent on the intensity of the thermal treatment applied and the treatment medium. Thus, the degree of denaturation of Pru p 3 treated at 95 °C for 40 min was about 60% and 95%, for the protein heated in peach extract and in buffer, respectively. Ultrasound treatments denatured Pru p 3 up to 60%, being dependent on amplitude and pressure. However, both heat and ultrasound treatments at the most severe conditions applied inhibited less than 10% the IgE-binding of Pru p 3. These results indicate that although heat and ultrasound treatments induce a considerable denaturation of Pru p 3, they are not effective in reducing its allergenicity.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment on ovalbumin (OVA) induced allergens and reveal potential allergy regulatory mechanisms. At 10 kV/cm, OVA-induced allergic symptoms were significantly reduced, and the capacity of OVA to bind with specific IgG1 and IgE was reduced by 10.32% and 3.61%, respectively. Furthermore, the degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells and allergen activity were also reduced by 4.63% and 22.15%, respectively. Interestingly, the α-helix content was reduced by 5.81% and the fluorescence intensity was increased by 6.90% with PEF treatment. At 10 kV/cm, water contact angle and surface hydrophobicity increased by 8.40% and 0.18%, respectively, indicating that PEF treatment increased the exposure of hydrophobic amino acid residues. PEF treatment alters the hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions in the protein, which masks the binding sites of sensitized epitopes, and consequently reduces allergies.

Effect of radio frequency, ultrasound, microwave-assisted papain, and alcalase hydrolysis on the structure, antioxidant activity, and peptidomic profile of Rosa roxburghii Tratt. seed protein. J Food Sci 2022; 87:4040-4055.

Abstract
Traditional enzymatic hydrolysis methods have defects such as low efficiency and poor bioactivity in the production of active peptides. In this study, radio frequency (RF) technology was innovatively used to assist the hydrolysis of Rosa roxburghii Tratt. seed protein (RTSP) by papain and alcalase. RF-assisted hydrolysis was compared with ultrasound-(US) and microwave (MW)-assisted techniques in terms of the degree of hydrolysis, structure, antioxidant properties, and changes in the peptidome of the hydrolysates to clarify the mechanism of functional change of physically-assisted hydrolysate. All three methods improved hydrolysis efficiency. The degree of hydrolysis (DH) of papain group increased from 6.38% to 7.97%, 9.97% and 8.37% after US-, MW- and RF-assisted hydrolysis, respectively, while the DH of alcalase-treated group increased from 21.13% to 25.66%, 26.03%, and 23.01%, respectively. The in vitro antioxidant capacity and intracellular antioxidant capacity of RTSP and its hydrolysates were measured and evaluated by fuzzy statistical evaluation, and MW-assisted alcalase hydrolysis had the highest in vitro and intracellular antioxidant activity scores of 0.713 and 0.820, respectively. Fourier transform infrared and amino acid composition analysis explained the enhanced antioxidant properties of the hydrolysates. Further peptide profiling showed the physical assistance led to an increase in the species and contents of small molecule antioxidant peptides compared to enzyme treatment alone. Pearson's linear correlation analysis showed that AY, LY, IY, PHW, SVL, LHL, YYV, VYY, and NHAV were significantly correlated with the antioxidant properties of hydrolysates. Our data suggested that physical assistance such as US, MW, and RF were effective to improve the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis and produce novel antioxidant peptides. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this study, it was found that electromagnetic wave-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis could improve the efficiency of hydrolysis and enhance the antioxidant activity of hydrolysates compared to unassisted means. Compared with MW treatment, RF has the comparable hydrolysis effect, but has the advantages of high penetration ability, good uniformity, and low energy consumption and has greater potential for the production of bioactive peptides.

Abstract
Food allergens are closely related to their gastrointestinal digestion fate, but the changes in food allergens during digestion and related mechanisms are quite complicated. This review presents in detail digestion models for predicting allergenicity, the fates of food allergens in oral, gastric and duodenal digestion, and the applications of digestomics in mapping IgE-binding epitopes of digestion-resistant peptides. Moreover, this review highlights the structure-activity relationships of food allergens during gastrointestinal digestion. Digestion-labile allergens may share common structural characteristics, such as high flexibility, rendering them easier to be hydrolyzed into small fragments with decreased or eliminated allergenicity. In contrast, the presence of disulfide bonds, tightly wound α-helical structures, or hydrophobic domains in food allergens helps them resist gastrointestinal digestion, stabilizing IgE-binding epitopes, thus maintaining their sensitization. In rare cases, digestion leads to increased allergenicity due to exposure of new epitopes. Finally, the action of the food matrix and processing on the digestion and allergenicity of food allergens as well as the underlying mechanisms was overviewed. The food matrix can directly act on the allergen by forming complexes or new epitopes to affect its gastrointestinal digestibility and thereby alter its allergenicity or indirectly affect the allergenicity by competing for enzymatic cleavage or influencing gastrointestinal pH and microbial flora. Several processing techniques attenuate the allergenicity of food proteins by altering their conformation to improve susceptibility to degradation by digestive enzymes. Given the complexity of food components, the food itself rather than a single allergen should be used to obtain more accurate data for allergenicity assessment. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The review article will help to understand the relationship between food protein digestion and allergenicity, and may provide fundamental information for evaluating and reducing the allergenicity of food proteins.

Abstract
Fruit juices (FJs) are frequently taken owing to their nutritious benefits, appealing flavour, and vibrant colour. The colours of the FJs are critical indicators of the qualitative features that influence the consumer's attention. Although FJs' intrinsic acidity serves as a barrier to bacterial growth, their enzymatic stability remains an issue for their shelf life. Inactivation of enzymes is critical during FJ processing, and selective inactivation is the primary focus of enzyme inactivation. The merchants, on the other hand, want the FJs to stay stable. The most prevalent technique of processing FJ is by conventional heat treatment, which degrades its nutritive value and appearance. The FJ processing industry has undergone a dramatic transformation from thermal treatments to nonthermal treatments (NTTs) during the past two decades to meet the requirements for microbiological and enzymatic stability. The manufacturers want safe and stable FJs, while buyers want high-quality FJs. According to the past investigation, NTTs have the potential to manufacture microbiologically safe and enzymatically stable FJs with low loss of bioactive components. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that different NTTs combined with or without other NTTs or mild heating as a hurdle technology increase the synergistic effect for microbiological safety and stability of FJs. Concise information about the variables that affect NTTs' action mode has also been addressed. Primary inactivates enzymes by modifying the protein structure and active site conformation. NTTs may increase enzyme activity depending on the nature of the enzyme contained in FJs, the applied pressure, pH, temperature, and treatment period. This is due to the release of membrane-bound enzymes as well as changes in protein structure and active sites that allow substrate interaction. Additionally, the combination of several NTTs as a hurdle technology, as well as temperature and treatment periods, resulted in increased enzyme inactivation in FJs. Therefore, a combination of thermal and non-thermal technologies is suggested to increase the effectiveness of the process as well as preserve the juice quality.

Abstract
In this study, the influence of ultrasound on the physicochemical and functional properties of guamuchil seed protein isolate (GSPI) was investigated. The GSPI was prepared by alkaline extraction and isoelectric precipitation method followed by treating with ethanol (95%), from defatted guamuchil seed flour. GSPI suspensions (10%) were sonicated with a probe (20 kHz) at 3 power levels (200 W, 400 W, 600 W) for 15 and 30 min, in addition, to control treatment without ultrasound. Moisture content, water activity, bulk and compact densities and the L*, a* and b* color parameters of the GSPI decreased due to the ultrasound. Glutelin (61.1%) was the main protein fraction in GSPI. Results through Fourier transform infrared and fluorescence spectroscopy showed that ultrasound modified the secondary and tertiary protein structures of GSPI, which increased the surface hydrophobicity, molecular flexibility and in vitro digestibility of GSPI proteins by up to 114.8%, 57.3% and 12.5%, respectively. In addition, maximum reductions of 11.9% in particle size and 55.2% in turbidity of GSPI suspensions, as well as larger and more porous aggregates in GSPI lyophilized powders were observed by ultrasound impact. These structural and physicochemical changes had an improvement of up to 115.5% in solubility, 39.8% in oil absorption capacity, while the increases for emulsifying, foaming, gelling, flow and cohesion properties of GSPI were 87.4%, 74.2%, 40.0%, 44.4%, and 8.9%, respectively. The amelioration of the functional properties of GSPI by ultrasound could represent an alternative for its possible use as a food ingredient in industry.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2021; 21:127-147. [PMID: 34954871 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.12889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Revised: 11/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Tropomyosin (TM) is a major allergen in crustaceans, which often causes allergy and is fatal to some consumers. Currently, the most effective treatment is to avoid ingesting TM, although most adverse events occur in accidental ingestion. In this review, the molecular characterization, epitopes, cross-reactivity, and pathogenesis of TM are introduced and elucidated. Modification of TM by traditional processing methods such as heat treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, and innovative processing technologies including high-pressure treatment, cold plasma (CP), ultrasound, pulsed electric field (PEF), pulsed ultraviolet, microwave and irradiation are discussed in detail. Particularly, enzymolysis, PEF, and CP technologies show great potential for modifying TM and more studies are needed to verify their effectiveness for the seafood industry. Possible mechanisms and the advantages/disadvantages of these technologies for the mitigation of TM allergenicity are also highlighted. Further work should be conducted to investigate the allergenicity caused by protein segments such as epitopes, examine the interaction sites between the allergen and the processing techniques and reveal the reduction mechanism of allergenicity.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2021; 79:105770. [PMID: 34598102 PMCID: PMC8487091 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2021.105770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 09/05/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 05/14/2023]
Abstract
In this study, scallop mantle protein was treated by ultrasound at different powers, and then analyzed by ANS fluorescent probes, circular dichroism spectroscopy, endogenous fluorescence spectrum, DNTB colorimetry and in-vitro digestion model to elucidate the structure-function relationship. The results indicated that ultrasound can significantly affect the secondary structure of scallop mantle protein like enhancing hydrophobicity, lowering the particle size, increasing the relative contents of α-helix and decreasing contents of β-pleated sheet, β-turn and random coil, as well as altering intrinsic fluorescence intensity with blue shift of maximum fluorescence peak. But ultrasound had no effect on its primary structure. Moreover, the functions of scallop mantle protein were regulated by modifying its structures by ultrasound. Specifically, the protein had the highest performance in foaming property and in-vitro digestibility under ultrasonic power of 100 W, oil binding capacity under 100 W, water binding capacity under 300 W, solubility and emulsification capacity under 400 W, and emulsion stability under 600 W. These results prove ultrasonic treatment has the potential to effectively improve functional properties and quality of scallop mantle protein, benefiting in comprehensive utilization of scallop mantles.

Abstract
Physical-assisted chemical modification is effective to reduce the allergenicity of α-lactalbumin (ALA). However, there are few in-depth studies on the allergenicity changes of physical-assisted chemical-modified ALA during digestion. The effect of gastroduodenal digestion on the allergenicity changes of ALA treated by sonication-assisted glycation was assessed. Digestion of both ALA and its glycated forms generated peptide fractions, and intact undigested glycated ALA in the hydrolysates still covalently bound to d-galactose. High-resolution mass spectrometry revealed that a higher glycation degree was discovered in sonication-preprocessed ALA compared to native ALA. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and basophil degranulation showed that sonication-assisted glycation could significantly reduce ALA allergenicity. The allergenicity of both gastric and gastroduodenal hydrolysates was further increased, and the hydrolysates of sonication-assisted glycated ALA showed the lowest allergenicity. The reason could be the shielding effect of the linear epitope found to be caused by a higher glycation degree; although linear epitopes were exposed, d-galactose covalently bound to intact undigested glycated ALA in the hydrolysates retained its masking role. These results indicated that sonication-assisted glycation could be a promising method to prepare immunotherapeutic agents for allergen immunotherapy to achieve the purpose of allergy desensitization.

Abstract
There is increasing demand among consumers for food products free of chemical preservatives, minimally processed and have fresh-like natural flavors. To meet these growing demands, the industries and researchers are finding alternative processing methods, which involve nonthermal methods to obtain a quality product that meets the consumer demands and adheres to the food safety protocols. In the past two decades’ various research groups have developed a wide range of nonthermal processing methods, of which few have shown potential in replacing the traditional thermal processing systems. Among all the methods, ultrasonication (US) and pulsed electric field (PEF) seem to be the most effective in attaining desirable food products. Several researchers have shown that these methods significantly affect various major and minor nutritional components present in food, including proteins and enzymes. In this review, we are going to discuss the effect of nonthermal methods on proteins, including enzymes. This review comprises results from the latest studies conducted from all over the world, which would help the research community and industry investigate the future pathway for nonthermal processing methods, especially in preserving the nutritional safety and integrity of the food.
