Abstract
In this research, a novel kind of walnut (Juglans regia L.) peptides-zinc (Zn-WPs) chelate was obtained using the mass ratio of the walnut peptides (WPs) to ZnSO4.7H2O of 3.5:1 at pH 8.5 and 50°C for 84 min, with the chelation rate of 84.5%. In comparison to walnut peptides (WPs), the contents of aspartic acid and glutamic acid in Zn-WPs chelate are approximately 27%, indicating that hydrophilic amino acids predominantly bind with walnut peptides. Following chelation with zinc ions, the ultraviolet-visible (UV) characteristic absorption peak shifted from 213 nm to 210 nm, while the average particle size of the chelate increased to 8.0 ± 0.14 µm, presenting a loose spherical structure under scanning electron microscopy. These findings suggest the formation of new substances. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed carboxyl, amino, and peptide bonds as the chelation sites of WPs and zinc. The IC50 of walnut peptides-zinc (Zn-WPs) chelate is 2.91 mg/mL, indicative of a favorable DPPH radical scavenging rate. Furthermore, Zn-WPs chelate microcapsules were produced via the spray drying method, achieving an encapsulation rate of 75.67 ± 0.83% under optimal conditions. These microcapsules demonstrate robust stability across diverse environmental conditions. This study underscores the potential of Zn-WPs and its chelate microcapsules to enhance stability and bioactivity under varying circumstances. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this study, a new walnut peptide-zinc (Zn-WPs) chelate was prepared. The presence of zinc ions changes the structure and properties of walnut peptides and improves its stability. The production of Zn-WPs chelate microcapsules enables Zn-WPs to have strong in vitro stability under different pH and simulated gastrointestinal digestion conditions. These results provide novel insights for developing the walnut peptides as bioactive ingredients in functional foods.

Abstract
There is an increasing amount of research into the development of a third generation of iron supplementation using peptide-iron chelates. Peptides isolated from mung bean were chelated with ferrous iron (MBP-Fe) and tested as a supplement in mice suffering from iron-deficiency anemia (IDA). Mice were randomly divided into seven groups: a group fed the normal diet, the IDA model group, and IDA groups treated with inorganic iron (FeSO4), organic iron (ferrous bisglycinate, Gly-Fe), low-dose MBP-Fe(L-MBP-Fe), high-dose MBP-Fe(H-MBP-Fe), and MBP mixed with FeSO4 (MBP/Fe). The different iron supplements were fed for 28 days via intragastric administration. The results showed that MBP-Fe and MBP/Fe had ameliorative effects, restoring hemoglobin (HGB), red blood cell (RBC), hematocrit (HCT), and serum iron (SI) levels as well as total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and body weight gain of the IDA mice to normal levels. Compared to the inorganic (FeSO4) and organic (Gly-Fe) iron treatments, the spleen coefficient and damage to liver and spleen tissues were significantly lower in the H-MBP-Fe and MBP/Fe mixture groups, with reparative effects on jejunal tissue. Gene expression analysis of the iron transporters Dmt 1 (Divalent metal transporter 1), Fpn 1 (Ferroportin 1), and Dcytb (Duodenal cytochrome b) indicated that MBP promoted iron uptake. These findings suggest that mung bean peptide-ferrous chelate has potential as a peptide-based dietary supplement for treating iron deficiency.

Abstract
Hemoglobin is an excellent source of iron supplements, and its hydrolyzate spontaneously binds iron during digestion and promotes iron absorption in vivo. However, the underlying mechanisms of what peptides bind and how they bind iron ions remain unclear. This study prepared the porcine hemoglobin hydrolyzate through enzymatic hydrolysis and acid treatment and investigated the mechanisms of hemoglobin hydrolyzate on iron absorption through the determination of iron levels in dietary intervention mice, iron binding site analyses, peptide digestion analyses, molecular simulation docking, and INT407 cell validation. The results showed that ingestion of the hemoglobin hydrolyzate diets increased iron levels in the blood of mice, accompanied by the upregulation of duodenal iron circulation-related genes such as ferritin, PCBP1, and HP. Carboxyl, imidazole groups, and aromatic amino acid residues were iron binding sites of hemoglobin hydrolyzate during digestion. VDEVGGEA and VDEVGGE were found to involve the spontaneous and efficient binding of hemoglobin hydrolyzate to iron ions in the intestinal cavity. In particular, the DEVGGE peptide was the typical sequence for hemoglobin hydrolytic peptides to exert iron binding activity.

Abstract
The digestion products of Penaeus vannamei still had sensitizing and eliciting capacity; however, the underlying mechanism has not been identified. This study analyzed the structural changes of shrimp proteins during digestion, predicted the linearmimotopepeptides and first validated the allergenicity of immunodominantepitopes with binding ability. The results showed that the shrimp proteins were gradually degraded into small peptides during digestion, which might lead to the destruction of linear epitopes. However, these peptides carried IgE epitopes that still trigger allergic reactions. Eighteen digestion-resistant epitopes were predicted by multiple immunoinformatics tools and digestomics. Five epitopes contained more critical amino acids and had strong molecular docking (P1: DSGVGIYAPDAEA, P2: EGELKGTYYPLTGM, P3: GRQGDPHGKFDLPPGV, P4: IFAWPHKDNNGIE, P5: KSTESSVTVPDVPSIHD), and these epitopes were identified as novel IgE binding immunodominantepitopes in Penaeus vannamei. These findings provide novel insight into allergenic epitopes, which might serve as key targets for reducing the allergenicity in shrimp.

Abstract
Whey protein isolates (WPI) are known to have mineral-binding capacity to promote iron absorption. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of iron ratio on the conformational structure of iron-bound whey protein isolate (WPI-Fe) and its thermodynamic stability. It was shown that the iron to protein ratio affects both the iron binding capacity of WPI and the iron valence state on the surface of WPI-Fe complexes. As the iron content increases, aggregation between protein molecules occurs. In addition, WPI-Fe nanoparticles have thermodynamic stability and Fe2+ has a high affinity with WPI for spontaneous exothermic reactions. This study demonstrates that WPI-Fe complexes can be used to efficiently deliver high-quality iron source (Fe2+) for future iron supplements.

Abstract
We investigated the absorption mechanism of the shrimp peptide QMDDQ in small intestines, explored its physiological function in inhibiting neuronal hyperactivity, and verified its entry into the brain in vivo to display functional activity. The everted rat sac model and a Caco-2 paracellular absorption monolayer model were used, indicating that QMDDQ has a good absorption capacity with an apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) > 1 × 10-6 cm/s and the absorption of QMDDQ was concentration-dependent. When the concentration of QMDDQ was 1 mM and the transport time was 180 min, the highest absorption concentration of QMDDQ was 41.17 ± 3.48 μM (P < 0.05). The myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK)-specific inhibitor ML-7 and activator MPA, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence results showed that QMDDQ absorption takes place by mediating the MLCK-p-MLCK-MLC signaling pathway, reversibly opening the zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), occludin in tight junctions (TJs), upregulating claudin-2 expression, and reaching targets through blood to inhibit neuronal overactivity. Results of fluorescence imaging in vivo verified that QMDDQ could enter the brain 4 h after oral administration. The results provide a theoretical foundation for the mechanism of paracellular absorption of active peptides and a starting point for the development of functional foods for Alzheimer's disease intervention.

Abstract
In the past decade, food-derived metal-chelating peptides (MCPs) have attracted significant attention from researchers working towards the prevention of metal (viz., iron, zinc, and calcium) deficiency phenomenon by primarily inhibiting the precipitation of metals caused by the gastrointestinal environment and exogenous substances (including phytic and oxalic acids). However, for the improvement of limits of current knowledge foundations and future investigation directions of MCP or their derivatives, several review categories should be improved and emphasized. The species' uniqueness and differences in MCP productions highly contribute to the different values of chelating ability with particular metal ions, whereas comprehensive reviews of chelation characterization determined by various kinds of technique support different horizons for explaining the chelation and offer options for the selection of characterization methods. The reviews of chelation mechanism clearly demonstrate the involvement of potential groups and atoms in chelating metal ions. The discussions of digestive stability and absorption in various kinds of absorption model in vitro and in vivo as well as the theory of involved cellular absorption channels and pathways are systematically reviewed and highlighted compared with previous reports as well. Meanwhile, the chelation mechanism on the molecular docking level, the binding mechanism in amino acid identification level, the utilizations of everted rat gut sac model for absorption, and the involvement of cellular absorption channels and pathway are strongly recommended as novelty in this review. This review makes a novel contribution to the literature by the comprehensive prospects for the research and development of food-derived mineral supplements.

Abstract
Iron is one of the trace mineral elements, and iron deficiency is a common phenomenon that negatively influences human health. Food-derived iron supplements were considered excellent candidates for improving this syndrome. In this work, oyster-protein hydrolysates (OPH) and ferrous chloride successfully formed the OPH-Fe complex (6 mg/mL, 40 °C, 30 min), where the main binding sites involved were the carboxyl and amino groups. The OPH-Fe complex showed no obvious changes in the secondary structure, while the iron changed the morphological appearance and also showed fluorescence quenching, an ultraviolet shift, and an increase in size distribution. The OPH-Fe complex showed better dynamic absorption of iron (64.11 μmol/L) than ferrous sulfate (46.90 μmol/L), and the medium dose had better protective effects against iron-deficiency anemia in vivo. Three representative peptides (DGKGKIPEE, FAGDDAPRA, and VLDSGDGVTH) that were absorbed intact were identified. This experiment provided a theoretical foundation for further study of the digestion and absorption of the OPH-Fe complex.

Abstract
Food protein-derived multicomponent peptides (FPDMPs) are a natural blend of numerous peptides with various bioactivities and multiple active sites that can assume several energetically favorable conformations in solutions. The remarkable structural characteristics and functional attributes of FPDMPs make them promising codelivery carriers that can coassemble with different bioactive ingredients to induce multidimensional structures, such as fibrils, nanotubes, and nanospheres, thereby producing specific health benefits. This review offers a prospective analysis of FPDMPs-based self-assembly nanostructures, focusing on the mechanism of formation of self-assembled FPDMPs, the internal and external stimuli affecting peptide self-assembly, and their potential applications. In particular, we introduce the exciting prospect of constructing functional materials through precursor template-induced self-assembly of FPDMPs, which combine the bioactivity and self-assembly capacity of peptides and could dramatically broaden the functional utility of peptide-based materials.

Abstract
Minerals including calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, and copper have several human nutritional functions due to their metabolic activities. Body tissues require sufficient levels of a variety of micronutrients to maintain their health. To achieve these micronutrient needs, dietary consumption must be adequate. Dietary proteins may regulate the biological functions of the body in addition to acting as nutrients. Some peptides encoded in the native protein sequences are primarily responsible for the absorption and bioavailability of minerals in physiological functions. Metal-binding peptides (MBPs) were discovered as potential agents for mineral supplements. Nevertheless, sufficient studies on how MBPs affect the biological functions of minerals are lacking. The hypothesis is that the absorption and bioavailability of minerals are significantly influenced by peptides, and these properties are further enhanced by the configuration and attribute of the metal-peptide complex. In this review, the production of MBPs is discussed using various key parameters such as the protein sources and amino acid residues, enzymatic hydrolysis, purification, sequencing and synthesis and in silico analysis of MBPs. The mechanisms of metal-peptide complexes as functional food ingredients are elucidated, including metal-peptide ratio, precursors and ligands, complexation reaction, absorbability and bioavailability. Finally, the characteristics and application of different metal-peptide complexes are also described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An emulsion delivery system for benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) was prepared using fish skin gelatin (FSG) and sodium alginate (Alg). The effects of the FSG-Alg complex on the emulsion stability and BITC release pattern from the emulsion were investigated in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS The storage stability and embedding rate of the 10 g kg-1 FSG and 2.5 g kg-1 Alg (FSG-Alg) emulsion were the highest among all samples. The FSG-Alg complex provided BITC a better protection during in vitro digestion. The microstructure of the FSG-Alg emulsions was more stable during in vitro digestion, and the bioaccessibility and retention rate of BITC were much higher compared to those of the FSG emulsion. The results of the ex vivo everted gut sac of rat intestine study showed that the FSG-Alg emulsion significantly increased the BITC absorption rate in the duodenum. CONCLUSION The FSG-Alg emulsion delivery system is a highly stable system for the delivery of BITC that improves the bioaccessibility of BITC and promotes its absorption in the duodenum. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Iron deficiency is a global nutritional problem, and adding iron salts directly to food will have certain side effects on the human body. Therefore, there is growing interest in food-grade iron delivery systems. This review provides an overview of iron delivery systems, with emphasis on the controlled release of iron during gastrointestinal digestion, as well as the enhancement of iron absorption and bioavailability. Iron-bearing proteins are easily degraded by digestive enzymes and absorbed through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Instead, protein aggregates are slowly degraded in the stomach, which delays iron release and serves as a potential iron supplement. Amino acids, peptides and polysaccharides can bind iron through iron binding sites, but the formed compounds are prone to dissociation in the stomach. Moreover, peptides and polysaccharides can deliver iron by mediating the formation of ferric oxyhydroxide which is absorbed through endocytosis or bivalent transporter 1. In addition, liposomes are unstable during gastric digestion and iron is released in large quantities. Complexes formed by polysaccharides and proteins, and microcapsules formed by polysaccharides can delay the release of iron in the gastric environment and prolong iron release in the intestinal environment. This review is conducive to the development of iron functional ingredients and dietary supplements.

[PMID: 35340027 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2021] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
In this study, pumpkin seeds peptide was purified, characterized, and evaluated for their zinc-chelating capability, as well as in vitro bioaccessibility and transportation. Raw pumpkin seeds protein hydrolysate (PSPH) was produced by papain hydrolysis. The peptide fractions with the highest zinc-chelating abilities were purified using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) followed by gel filtration chromatography (GF). Eight peptides were identified, two of which with the lowest molecular weights were synthesized (RPKHPLK and RPKHPLSHDL) for determining potential bioaccessibility and bioavailability. Our results showed that the gastrointestinal stability of RPKHPLK-Zn and RPKHPLSHDL-Zn was higher than that of inorganic zinc salts in the simulated gastrointestinal tract model. Furthermore, the influence of the peptide zinc chelates on zinc transport was explored in vitro using Caco-2 cell monolayer model. It was also shown that both RPKHPLK-Zn and RPKHPLSHDL-Zn could increase zinc transport rate and may be used to facilitate effective zinc absorption. The result of this study may provide important implications for developing plant protein foods with higher nutritional value. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: As a potential alternative protein source, pumpkin seeds may find promising applications in plant-based foods and drinks to meet the growing market for nonanimal foods. In this study, pumpkin seed protein peptides were prepared and purified, and the zinc-chelating peptides were identified and evaluated for the abilities to promote the uptake of zinc. This type of mineral peptide chelates could be incorporated into plant-based foods to increase mineral contents, which is significantly higher in foods originated from animals. The result of our study may provide important information for food industry to increase the nutritional value of plant-based foods.

Abstract
A novel heptapeptide QEELISK derived from Antarctic krill was used to assemble a calcium delivery system, of which the calcium binding mechanism of QEELISK, in vitro digestion kinetics, and calcium absorption behaviors were explored. QEELISK with continuous Glu possessed higher calcium binding capacity than that of QELEISK and QAALISK. Ca2+ bound to the carboxyl oxygen of Glu at position 3 of the QEELISK peptide at a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 through charge-charge interaction; the formed QEELISK-Ca showed superior stability. Moreover, QEELISK-Ca underwent disaggregation and self-assembly during in vitro digestion reflected by visualization of calcium ions and circular dichroism spectra. QELEISK was partially stable during gastrointestinal digestion, and calcium chelation improved the digestive stability of QELEISK. In addition, a significant enhancement of calcium absorption with QELEISK-Ca occurred in the duodenum and ileum when compared to CaCl2 absorption, which indicated that QEELISK might carry calcium ions through the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Calcium and iron play crucial roles in human health, deficiencies of which have globally generated public health risks. The poor solubility, low bioavailability and gastrointestinal irritation of existing commercial mineral supplements limit their further application. As an emerging type of mineral supplement, mineral chelating peptides have drawn plenty of attention due to their advantages in stability, absorptivity and safety. A majority of calcium and ferrous ions chelating peptides have been isolated from food processing by-products. Enzymatic hydrolysis combined with affinity chromatography, gel filtration and other efficient separation techniques is the predominant method to obtain peptides with high calcium and ferrous affinity. Peptides with small molecular weight are more likely to chelate metals, and carboxyl, amino groups and nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur atoms in the side chain, which can provide lone-pair electrons to combine with metallic ions. Unidentate, bidentate, tridentate, bridging and α mode are regarded as common chelating modes. Moreover, the stability of peptide-mineral complexes in the gastrointestinal tract and possible transport pathways were summarized. This review is to present an overview of the latest research progress, existing problems and research prospects in the field of peptide-mineral complexes and to provide a more comprehensive theoretical basis for their exploitation in food industry.

Abstract
Three peptides containing three glutamic acid (Glu) residues at different positions derived from Antarctic krill were obtained to investigate their iron-binding properties, digestive stability, and effectiveness on enhancing iron solubility and absorption. Results indicated that Fe2+ bound to the carbonyl, carboxyl, or hydroxyl groups of DELEDSLER, EEEFDATR, and DTDSEEEIR at stoichiometric ratios of 0.453, 0.466, and 0.490, respectively. DTDSEEEIR with three consecutive Glu in the middle of the sequence possessed higher iron-binding ability and iron release potential than EEEFDATR with three consecutive Glu in the N-terminal, and DELEDSLER with three discontinuous Glu showed the lowest values. Although EEEFDATR showed remarkably lower digestion stability than DTDSEEEIR, the effect of EEEFDATR-iron on iron solubility and absorption was comparable to that of DTDSEEEIR-iron, but better than that of DELEDSLER-iron and FeSO4. Thus, peptides with consecutive Glu have the potential as an effective iron carrier to improve iron absorption.

Abstract
Zinc is a crucial micronutrient for maintaining body immune system and metabolism function. However, insufficient intake from diet may lead to zinc deficiency and impair normal body function. In addition, conventional zinc salts supplementation has the disadvantage of low bioavailability since the zinc ions may be easily chelated by dietary fiber or phytate commonly found in diets rich in plants, and form precipitates that cannot be absorbed. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to prepare pumpkin seed derived peptides and to evaluate the effect of structure and surface properties on the zinc binding behavior of the pumpkin seed protein hydrolysate (PSPH), as well as their gastrointestinal stability. Briefly, different PSPHs were prepared using enzymatic hydrolysis method with bromelain, papain, flavourzyme, alcalase, and pepsin. The particle size, zeta potential, surface hydrophobicity, degree of hydrolysis, ATR-FTIR spectra, and zinc binding capacity were determined. The representative samples were chosen to characterize the binding energy and surface morphology of PSPH-Zn. At last, the in vitro gastrointestinal stability of PSPH and PSPH-Zn were evaluated. Our results showed that peptides hydrolyzed by papain had the largest average molecular weight, smallest particle size, highest hydrophobicity, and the greatest zinc binding capacity. Zinc showed better gastrointestinal stability in PSPHs chelates than in its salt. Meanwhile, PSPH-Zn with higher zinc binding capacity showed better stability. The result of this study indicated pumpkin seed hydrolyzed by papain may be used as a potential source for zinc fortification. The findings in this study may provide important implications for developing plant-based zinc chelating peptides.
