Food Chem 2024; 460:140598. [PMID: 39068791 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140598] [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: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Solenaia oleivora is a valuable freshwater mussel endemic to China with a high content of high-quality proteins, but the lack of structural information and limited functionality of Solenaia oleivora proteins constrained their application in the food industry. This study investigates the changes in structural characteristics and functionality of Solenaia oleivora protein under ultrasound processing at power from 200 to 600 W. The ultrasound treatment caused increased contents of β-turn and α-helix, and the exposure of interior hydrophobic groups, resulting in the increased hydrophobicity by around 3 folds. The ultrasound treatment could significantly decrease particle size and increase surface charges of Solenaia oleivora proteins, facilitating the increase of hydrosolubility from 10.2% to 81.7%. These structural changes and increased hydrosolubility contributed to the enhancement of emulsifying and foaming properties, and in vitro digestibility. The results suggested that the ultrasound-treated Solenaia oleivora proteins possessed the potential as an alternative protein in food applications.

Effects of ultrasonic waves of different powers on the physicochemical properties, functional characteristics, and ultrastructure of bovine liver peptides. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 110:107031. [PMID: 39173448 PMCID: PMC11381874 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.107031] [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: 05/10/2024] [Revised: 08/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, ultrasound has emerged as a widely used technology for modifying proteins/peptides. In this study, we focused on the intrinsic mechanism of ultrasound-induced modification of bovine liver peptides, which were treated with ultrasound power of 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 W, and their physicochemical and functional properties, as well as ultrastructures, were investigated. The results show that ultrasound mainly affects hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions to change the conformation of proteins and unfolds proteins through a cavitation effect, leading to an increase in biological activity. Fourier infrared spectroscopy showed that ultrasound inhibited the formation of hydrogen bonds and reduced intermolecular cross-linking. Molecular weight distribution showed that the antioxidant components of bovine liver polypeptides were mainly concentrated in fractions of 500-1,000 Da. Maximum values of ABTS (82.66 %), DPPH (76.02 %), chelated iron (62.18 %), and reducing power (1.2447) were obtained by treating bovine liver polypeptides with 500 W ultrasound. Combined with the scanning electron microscopy results, with the intervention of ultrasound, the impact force generated by ultrasonication may lead to the loosening of the protein structure, which further promotes the release of antioxidant peptides, and these findings provide new insights into the application of ultrasound in the release of antioxidant peptides from bovine liver.

Mechanism study on the improvement of egg white emulsifying characteristic by ultrasound synergized citral: Physicochemical properties, molecular flexibility, protein structure. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 111:107104. [PMID: 39413471 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.107104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2024] [Revised: 10/06/2024] [Accepted: 10/12/2024] [Indexed: 10/18/2024]
Abstract
As a natural emulsifier, egg white protein (EWP) has great interfacial characteristics and high security, and has broad development prospects. This study explored the impact of ultrasound synergized citral (CI) treatment on the microstructure, molecular flexibility and emulsifying property of EWP, and predicted the interaction between CI and ovalbumin (the main protein in EWP) through molecular docking. The decrease in free amino content and the growth in molecular weight of EWP suggested that CI and proteins were successfully grafted. The results of physicochemical properties revealed that UCEWP (ultrasound synergized citral-treated EWP) had smaller particle size and larger ζ-potential absolute value, which meant that the stability of UCEWP system was enhanced. From the perspective of interfacial characteristics, UCEWP had lower interfacial tension, which remarkably improved its emulsifying property. The emulsifying activity index (EAI) and emulsifying stability index (ESI) of UCEWP were 1.99 times and 3.19 times higher than that of natural EWP (NEWP). Analysis of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and fluorescence spectroscopy illustrated that the secondary and tertiary structures of UCEWP were more disordered and stretched than those of EWPs. Protein microstructure demonstrated that UCEWP presented loose small particle distribution, and correlation analysis reflected that the improvement of molecular flexibility was positively correlated with the enhancement of emulsifying property. These results elucidated that ultrasound synergized CI treatment is an effective mean to improve the molecular flexibility and emulsifying property of EWP, which provides a valuable reference for further application of EWP.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of potassium alginate (PA), propylene glycol alginate (PGA), and calcium alginate (CA) on the gel properties of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) surimi (control group) throughout gastrointestinal digestion. The findings revealed that the protein digestibility of the PA/PGA and CA groups was found to be lower compared to the control group. Among these groups, the CA group had the lowest digestibility rate at 82.49 ± 3.50 %. The study revealed a reduction in the number of peptides found in the surimi group treated with alginate compared to the control group. Alginate was discovered to have inhibitory effects on proteolysis by forming a robust cross-linked network that obstructs pepsin from accessing its substrates. This research provides valuable insights into the potential application of alginate for improving the digestibility of surimi proteins and creating commercial surimi products.

Abstract
Ferritin is an iron-containing protein that is widely present in all organisms and has the function of regulating the metabolic balance of iron in organisms. It can be separated from animal by-product tissues and converted into value-added components to promote the development of a circular economy. This study established a method for extracting bovine liver ferritin (BLFer) using ultrasound-assisted buffer system. The optimal extraction conditions were determined through single factor and response surface optimization experiments as follows: ultrasound temperature of 70 °C, extraction time of 25 min, ultrasonic power of 400 W and solvent-to-solid ratio of 2 mL/g, the experimental value of the ferritin yield was 32.18 ± 0.12 g/kg. Compared with traditional methods, Ultrasound-assisted extraction improved the ferritin yield and enhanced its structural stability. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that BLFer is a hydrophilic protein with strong thermal stability. The BLFer has a ferrous oxidase active center, which plays an important role in the oxidative precipitation and reductive release of iron. It can dissociate under strong acids or bases but maintains good stability after heat treatment. These findings will help improve the comprehensive utilization of animal by-products, and promote the potential application of animal by-product ferritin in food and other industries.

Abstract
Food security for the increasing global population is a significant challenge of the current times particularly highlighting the protein deficiencies. Plant-based proteins could be considered as alternate source of the protein. The digestibility and PDCASS value of these proteins are still a concern. Blue proteins, the new approach of utilizing the proteins from aquatic sources could be a possible solution as it contains all the essential amino acids. However, the conjugation of these proteins with fats and glycogen interferes with their techno-functional properties and consequently their applicability. The application of power ultrasound for extraction and modification of these proteins from aquatic sources to break open the cellular structure, increase extractability, alter the protein structure and consequently provide proteins with higher bioavailability and bioactive properties could be a potential approach for their effective utilization into food systems. The current review focuses on the application of power ultrasound when applied as extraction treatment, alters the sulphite and peptide bond and modifies protein to elevated digestibility. The degree of alteration is influenced by intensity, frequency, and exposure time. The extracted proteins will serve as a source of essential amino acids. Furthermore, modification will lead to the development of bioactive peptides with different functional applications. Numerous studies reveal that blue proteins have beneficial impacts on amino acid availability, and subsequently food security with higher PDCAAS values. In many cases, converted peptides give anti-hypertensive, anti-diabetic, and anti-oxidant activity. Therefore, researchers are concentrating on ultrasound-based extraction, modification, and application in food and pharmaceutical systems.

Abstract
Solenaia oleivora, a rare freshwater shellfish with high protein quality, is unique to China. However, the poor hydrosolubility and functional properties of Solenaia oleivora proteins hinder their utilization in food products. Herein, the alkaline dissolution-isoelectric precipitation method was used for the extraction of Solenaia oleivora proteins. Furthermore, the impact of high-pressure homogenization (HPH) treatment varying from 0 to 100 MPa on the structure and functional properties of Solenaia oleivora proteins was investigated. The obtained results indicated that HPH treatment decreased the α-helix content and enhanced the β-sheet and random coil content. Furthermore, the HPH caused the unfolding of protein structure, exposing aromatic amino acids, increasing the free thiol group content, and enhancing surface hydrophobicity. As the homogenization pressure increased from 0 to 100 MPa, the particle size of Solenaia oleivora proteins decreased from 899 to 197 nm with the polymer dispersity index (PDI) value decreased from 0.418 to 0.151, the ζ-potential increased from -22.82 to -43.26 mV, and the solubility increased from 9.54% to 89.96%. Owing to the significant changes in protein structure and solubility, the emulsifying, foaming, and digestive properties of Solenaia oleivora proteins have been significantly improved after treatment with HPH.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the impacts of various ultrasonic powers (0, 300, 500, 700, and 900 W) on the structure and functional attributes of the myofibrillar protein (MP) of Tenebrio molitor. As the ultrasonic intensity escalated, the extraction efficiency and yield of the MP rose, while the particle size and turbidity decreased correspondingly. The reduction in sulfhydryl group content and the increase in carbonyl group content both suggested that ultrasonic treatment promoted the oxidation of the MP to a certain extent, which was conducive to the formation of a denser and more stable gel network structure. This was also affirmed by SEM images. Additionally, the findings of intrinsic fluorescence and FTIR indicated that high-intensity ultrasound significantly altered the secondary structure of the protein. The unfolding of the MP exposed more amino acid residues, the α-helix decreased, and the β-helix improved, thereby resulting in a looser and more flexible conformation. Along with the structural alteration, the surface hydrophobicity and emulsification properties were also significantly enhanced. Besides that, SDS-PAGE demonstrated that the MP of T. molitor was primarily composed of myosin heavy chain (MHC), actin, myosin light chain (MLC), paramyosin, and tropomyosin. The aforementioned results confirmed that ultrasonic treatment could, to a certain extent, enhance the structure and function of mealworm MP, thereby providing a theoretical reference for the utilization of edible insect proteins in the future, deep-processing proteins produced by T. molitor, and the development of new technologies.

Integrated ultra-high pressure and salt addition to improve the in vitro digestibility of myofibrillar proteins from scallop mantle (Patinopecten yessoensis). Food Chem 2024; 447:138985. [PMID: 38507952 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138985] [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: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
Myofibrillar protein (MP) is susceptible to the effect of ionic strength and ultra-high pressure (UHP) treatment, respectively. However, the impact of UHP combined with ionic strength on the structure and in vitro digestibility of MP from scallop mantle (Patinopecten yessoensis) is not yet clear. Therefore, it is particularly important to analyze the structural properties and enhance the in vitro digestibility of MP by NaCl and UHP treatment. The findings demonstrated that as ionic strength increased, the α-helix and β-sheet gradually transformed into β-turn and random coil. The decrease of endogenous fluorescence intensity indicated the formation of a more stable tertiary structure. Additionally, the exposure of internal sulfhydryl groups increased the amount of total sulfhydryl content, and reactive sulfhydryl groups gradually transformed into disulfide bonds. Moreover, it reduces aggregation through increased solubility, decreased turbidity, particle sizes, and a relatively dense and uniform microstructure. When MP from the scallop mantle was treated with 0.5 mol/L ionic strength and 200 MPa UHP treatment, it had the highest solubility (90.75 ± 0.13%) and the lowest turbidity (0.41 ± 0.03). The scallop mantle MP with NaCl of 0.3 mol/L and UHP treatment had optimal in vitro digestibility (95.14 ± 2.01%). The findings may offer a fresh perspectives for developing functional foods for patients with dyspepsia and a theoretical foundation for the comprehensive utilization of scallop mantle by-products with low concentrations of NaCl.

Abstract
This study evaluated the structural characteristics, processing properties, and antioxidant properties of hydrolysates prepared from donkey milk (DM) whey protein using different proteases (Alcalase, Neutrase, papain, and Flavourzyme). The results showed that enzymatic hydrolysis significantly increased hydrolysate solubility and reduced average particle size compared to those of DM whey protein. Neutrase and Flavourzyme hydrolysates exhibited higher degrees of hydrolysis (DH), along with elevated emulsification properties and surface hydrophobicity. The choice of protease influenced secondary and tertiary protein structures and amino acid composition. Enzymatic hydrolysis led to decreased molecular weight of DM whey proteins. Moreover, all hydrolysates exhibited higher fluorescence intensity at λmax compared to DM whey protein, implying distinct properties due to the varied impacts of the four proteases on DM whey protein structure. The preparation of hydrolysates from DM whey proteins using proteases contributes to the development of integrated-value DM products.

Abstract
Litopenaeus vannamei protein (LVP) is a high-quality protein. However, its functional properties do not fully meet the needs of food processing. In this study, LVP-xylose conjugates were prepared by conventional wet heat method (GLVP) and ball-milling-assisted wet heat method (GBLVP), respectively. The changes in structure and functional properties of the glycosylated LVP were explored. The findings revealed that ball-milling pretreatment increased the grafting degree to 35.21%. GBLVP had a sparser surface structure and lower particle size than GLVP. FTIR spectra showed that xylose was grafted onto LVP successfully and GBLVP had the lowest α-helix content. Compared with GLVP, GBLVP had a decrease in intrinsic fluorescence intensity and surface hydrophobicity, and an increase in UV absorption intensity. Moreover, GBLVP had higher foaming capacity, solubility and water-holding capacity, and lower allergenicity than GLVP. However, ball-milling pretreatment had a negative impact on the vitro digestibility and oil-holding capacity of GBLVP. In conclusion, ball-milling-assisted treatment of glycosylation could effectively improve the functional properties of LVP, benefiting the broader application of LVP in the food industry.

Abstract
Betanin, a water-soluble colorant, is sensitive to light and temperature and is easily faded and inactivated. This study investigated the formation of yeast protein-chitooligosaccharide-betanin complex (YCB) induced by ultrasound treatment, and evaluated its protective effect on the colorant betanin. Ultrasound (200-600 W) increased the surface hydrophobicity and solubility of yeast protein, and influenced the protein's secondary structure by decreasing the α-helix content and increasing the contents of β-sheet and random coil. The ultrasound treatment (200 W, 15 min) facilitated binding of chitooligosaccharide and betanin to the protein, with the binding numbers of 4.26 ± 0.51 and 0.61 ± 0.06, and the binding constant of (2.73 ± 0.25) × 105 M-1 and (3.92 ± 0.10) × 104 M-1, respectively. YCB could remain the typical color of betanin, and led to a smaller and disordered granule morphology. Moreover, YCB exhibited enhanced thermal-, light-, and metal irons (ferric and copper ions) -stabilities of betanin, protected the betanin against color fading, and realized a controlled release in simulated gastrointestinal tract. This study extends the potential application of the fungal proteins for stabilizing bioactive molecules.

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.

Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate functional, physicochemical, and structural properties of abalone foot muscle proteins (AFPs) and their hydrolysates (HAFPs) obtained using animal protease (HA), papain (HPP), and Protamex® (HP) at different time points. The HA-hydrolysate obtained after 0.5 h of treatment demonstrated the highest solubility at pH 7.0 (84.19%); the HPP-hydrolysate at 4 h exhibited the highest degree of hydrolysis (11.4%); the HPP-hydrolysate at 0.5 h had the highest oil holding capacity (2.62 g/g) and emulsion stability index (39.73 min), and the HP-hydrolysate at 4 h had the highest emulsifying activity index (93.23 m2/g) and foaming stability (91.45%); Regarding the physicochemical properties, the HPP-hydrolysates revealed the largest particle size, higher absolute zeta potential, and superior interfacial activity. Structural characterization demonstrated the enzymolysis-based changes in the composition and the secondary structure of the AFPs. These results provide practical support for the theoretical basis of the use of AFPs as a source of nutritive proteins in the food industry.

Abstract
Structural modification of protein prior to food application is an emergent approach to improve functionalization. The effectiveness of high-power ultrasound at varying amplitudes (0-100%) on the properties of pea protein powder was investigated in this study. The resulting modification was also tested with model gluten-free bread formulation and by screening the emulsion properties within vegetable oil. The 50% and beyond amplitude levels had significant impact on protein solubility, viscosity, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra, emulsion activity and stability. Foaming capacity and stability were enhanced with 75 and 100% amplitudes while the 25% amplitude exhibited the highest absolute zeta-potential. There was a concomitant increase in ultrasound amplitude and oil-binding capacity (2.83-6.43 g/g) where the water-holding capacity gradually decreased (5.78-3.61 g/g) with the increase in ultrasound power. The increase in ultrasound power led to decrease in L* values but progressively increased the total color difference (ΔE). Sonication (50% amplitude) also promoted the in-vitro digestibility of proteins by 22% as compared to the untreated sample. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) fairly depictured the structural modification and FTIR spectra clearly demonstrated conformational changes in protein powders. The fortification with restructured pea protein powder significantly affected the volume and adhesiveness of glutenfree bread.

Abstract
Tropomyosin (TM) is the major allergen in clams. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ultrasound-assisted high temperature-pressure treatment on the structure and allergenicity of TM from clams. The results showed that the combined treatment significantly affected the structure of TM-converting the α-helix to β-sheet and random coil, and decreasing the sulfhydryl group content, surface hydrophobicity, and particle size. These structural changes caused the unfolding of the protein, disrupting and modifying the allergenic epitopes. The significant reduction in the allergenicity of TM was approximately 68.1% when treated with combined processing (P < 0.05). Notably, an increase in the content of the relevant amino acids and a smaller particle size accelerated the penetration of the enzyme into the protein matrix, resulting in strengthening the gastrointestinal digestibility of TM. These results prove that ultrasound-assisted high temperature-pressure treatment has great potential in reducing allergenicity, benefiting the development of hypoallergenic clam products.

Abstract
Plant-derived proteins, such as those from sesame seeds, have the potential to be used as versatile food ingredients. End-use functionality can be further improved by high-intensity ultrasound treatments. The effects of high-intensity ultrasound on the properties of sesame protein isolates from cold-pressed sesame cake were evaluated. The SDS-PAGE demonstrated no significant changes in the molecular weight of proteins. Ultrasound treatments resulted in decreased particle size with a more uniform distribution, resulting in the exposure of hydrophobicity and free -SH groups and increased zeta potential. Although FTIR spectra of proteins were similar after ultrasonication, a partial increase in the intensity of the amide A band was observed. The ultrasound significantly (p < 0.05) affected the secondary structure of proteins. While optical micrographics revealed a dispersed structure with smaller particles after treatments, microstructural observations indicated more rough and irregular surfaces. Water solubility was improved to 80.73% in the sample subjected to 6 min of ultrasonication. Sesame protein solutions treated for 4 and 6 min exhibited viscoelastic structure (storage modulus (G') > loss modulus (G'')). In addition, the gelation temperature of proteins decreased to about 60-65 °C with increasing treatment time. Overall, ultrasound is a useful technique for the modification of sesame protein isolates.

Abstract
Heat treatment affects the structural properties of meat proteins, which in turn leads to changes in their sensitivity to digestive enzymes, further affecting the nutritional value of meat and meat products. The mechanism of changes in the structure and digestive properties of myosin under different heating conditions were studied. An increase in heating temperature led to the exposure of internal groups to a polar environment, but to a decrease in the sturdy α-helix structure of myosin (p < 0.05). The results of tryptophan fluorescence verified that the tertiary structure of the protein seemed to be unfolded at 70 °C. Higher protein denaturation after overheating, as proven by the sulfhydryl contents and turbidity, caused irregular aggregate generation. The excessive heating mode of treatment at 100 °C for 30 min caused myosin to exhibit a lower degree of pepsin digestion, which increased the Michaelis constant (Km value) of pepsin during the digestion, but induced the production of new peptides with longer peptide sequences. This study elucidates the effects of cooking temperature on the conformation of myosin and the change in digestibility of pepsin treatment during heating.

Physicochemical, structural, functional and flavor adsorption properties of white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) proteins as affected by processing methods. Food Res Int 2023; 163:112296.

Abstract
Proteins contribute to the flavor release and texture of foods besides their nutritional attributes. However, processing affects the protein structural conformation and, thus, their functional properties. White shrimp proteins (WSP) are well known for their nutritional and functional properties and limited attention has been paid to the flavor adsorption properties of WSP. This study investigated the effects of processing methods such as microwave drying, hot air drying, roasting, and boiling on the structural (secondary and tertiary) changes and physicochemical, functional, and flavor adsorption properties of white shrimp proteins (WSP). Structural changes of WSPs were evaluated by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and sulfhydryl bond content. Results revealed that the processing triggered structural changes that affected the functional properties of WSP. The highest surface hydrophobicity (H0) of WSP in boiling (58.27 ± 1.68) and microwave drying (39.83 ± 0.83) caused increased emulsifying properties and decreased water solubility. The increased content of α-helix and random coils leads to cross-linking and protein aggregation in hot air drying (21.62 ± 0.37 %) and roasting (24.30 ± 0.24 %), which leads to low H0 and high foaming properties. Processing has increased the flavor adsorption ability of WSP. Among all the processing methods, boiling has shown the highest flavor adsorption potential, followed by microwave drying. The findings broaden the scope of techno-functional properties of WSP in the food industry by thermal treatment modification.

Abstract
Plant-based proteins obtained from agricultural by-products have garnered growing interest in response to consumer awareness of health and environmental issues. This study aimed to improve the functionalities of the proteins recovered from black soybean Aquasoya (PBSA) by modifying their structure via ultrasonication. PBSA was ultrasonicated with a frequency of 40 kHz at 350 W for different time periods (0, 20, 40, and 60 min), and its structural characteristics, physicochemical properties, and functional properties were investigated. Ultrasonication left the primary structure intact but altered the secondary and tertiary structures of the PBSA; α-helix and β-sheet contents decreased, random coil contents increased, and buried non-polar amino acid residues were exposed. Moreover, ultrasound promoted an increase in free sulfhydryl content and a reduction in particle size. Consequently, functional properties, such as solubility, emulsion stability, and foaming performance were improved by modifying the structure and physicochemical properties of PBSA. This work demonstrates the potential of ultrasound, which is favorable for modifying the spatial conformation and related functionalities of proteins, thus meeting the needs of manufacturers to use function-enhanced proteins as food additives.

Abstract
The utilization of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) from the scallop mantle was limited due to its poor digestibility in vitro. In this study, structural properties and in vitro digestibility of MP were evaluated after modified by ultra-high pressure (UHP) at different pressures (0.1, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 MPa). The results showed that high pressure could significantly increase the ordered structure content like α-helix, inhibit the formation of disulfide bonds, and decrease surface hydrophobicity. Moreover, MP possessed the optimal solubility and in vitro digestibility properties at 200 MPa due to the minimum particle size and turbidity, relatively dense and uniform microstructure. The results indicated that the UHP treatment was an effective method to improve the digestibility of MP from scallop mantle and lay a theoretical basis for the functional foods development of poor digestion people and comprehensive utilization of scallop mantles.
