Abstract
Adulteration in dairy products presents food safety challenges, driven by economic factors. Processing may change specific biomarkers, thus affecting their effectiveness in detection. In this study, proteomics and metabolomics approaches were to investigate the detection of bovine milk (BM) constituents adulteration in pasteurized mare milk (PMM) and mare milk powder (MMP). Several bovine proteins and metabolites were identified, with their abundances in PMM and MMP increasing upon addition of BM. Proteins like osteopontin (OPN) and serotransferrin (TF) detected adulteration down to 1 % in PMM, whereas these proteins in MMP were utilized to identify 10 % adulteration. Biotin and N6-Me-adenosine were effective in detecting adulteration in PMM as low as 10 % and 1 % respectively, while in MMP, their detection limits extend down to 0.1 %. These findings offer insights for authenticating mare milk products and underscore the influence of processing methods on biomarker levels, stressing the need to consider these effects in milk product authentication.

Li Y, Li S, Zhao X, Shi C, Chai Y, Huang A, Shi Y. Novel insights into whey protein among Yak, Yellow Cattle, and Cattle-Yak milk. Food Chem X 2024; 22:101384. [PMID: 38681228 PMCID: PMC11046070 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
This study identified characteristic whey proteins from Zhongdian Yak (ZY), Diqing Yellow Cattle (DYC), and Cattle Yak (CY), revealing insights into their potential functions and released peptides. A total of 118 whey proteins were quantified in milk obtained from the three breeds of cattle, including seven characteristic proteins (IGL@ protein, 40S ribosomal protein S9, calreticulin, etc.) in CY milk and two characteristic proteins (RNA helicase and uncharacterized protein (A0A3Q1LFQ2)) in ZY milk. These characteristic proteins are involved in the phagosome and Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis pathways, exhibiting immunoprotective activities, verified through molecular docking. Furthermore, the molecular docking results showed five whey proteins (IGL@ protein, rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor 1, small monomeric GTPase, action-like protein 3, and adenylyl cyclase-associated protein) interacted with TLR4 through multiple hydrogen and hydrophobic bonds. Therefore, these proteins may exert immunomodulatory functions by inhibiting TLR4. Meanwhile, whey proteins produced bioactive peptides, such as antioxidant peptides and ACE inhibitory peptides after simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SGID). The whey proteins and bioactive peptides from CY exhibited more types and activities than the ZY and DYC whey proteins. This study provides a theoretical basis for promoting formula milk powder production.

Abstract
Goat milk has been consumed by humans since ancient times and is highly nutritious. Its quality is mainly determined by its casein content. Milk protein synthesis is controlled by a complex network with many signal pathways. Therefore, the aim of our study is to clearly depict the signal pathways involved in milk protein synthesis in goat mammary epithelial cells (GMECs) using state-of-the-art microproteomic techniques and to identify the key genes involved in the signal pathway. The microproteomic analysis identified more than 2253 proteins, with 323 pathways annotated from the identified proteins. Knockdown of IRS1 expression significantly influenced goat casein composition (α, β, and κ); therefore, this study also examined the insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) gene more closely. A total of 12 differential expression proteins (DEPs) were characterized as upregulated or downregulated in the IRS1-silenced sample compared to the negative control. The enrichment and signal pathways of these DEPs in GMECs were identified using GO annotation and KEGG, as well as KOG analysis. Our findings expand our understanding of the functional genes involved in milk protein synthesis in goats, paving the way for new approaches for modifying casein content for the dairy goat industry and milk product development.

Abstract
The coverage of the protein database directly determines the results of shotgun proteomics. In this study, PacBio single-molecule real-time sequencing technology was performed on postmortem silver carp muscle transcripts. A total of 42.43 Gb clean data, 35,834 nonredundant transcripts, and 15,413 unigenes were obtained. In total, 99.32% of the unigenes were successfully annotated and assigned specific functions. PacBio long-read isoform sequencing (Iso-Seq) analysis can provide more accurate protein information with a higher proportion of complete coding sequences and longer lengths. Subsequently, 2671 proteins were identified in deep 4D proteomics informed by a full-length transcriptomics technique, which has been shown to improve the identification of low-abundance muscle proteins and potential protein isoforms. The feature of the sarcomeric protein profile and information on more than 30 major proteins in the white dorsal muscle of silver carp were reported here for the first time. Overall, this study provides valuable transcriptome data resources and the comprehensive muscle protein information detected to date for further study into the processing characteristic of early postmortem fish muscle, as well as a spectral library for data-independent acquisition and data processing. This batch of muscle-specific dependent acquisition data is available via PRIDE with identifier PXD043702.

Abstract
Yak milk is rich in essential milk proteins of nutritional and therapeutic value. In this study, whey proteins of milk from 3 yak breeds (Gannan, GN; Huanhu, HH; Maiwa, MW) in China were comprehensively identified and compared using a data-independent acquisition quantitative proteomics approach. A total of 632 proteins were identified in yak milk whey samples, in which immune-related proteins were abundant. Compared with other milks, more proteins were involved in oxidation-reduction process and with ATP binding. In addition, we identified 96, 155, and 164 differentially expressed proteins (DEP) for GN versus HH, GN versus MW, and HH versus MW, respectively. "Phagosome" and "complement and coagulation cascades" were the most significant pathways for DEP of GN versus HH and GN or HH versus MW yak milk based on the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. Protein-protein interaction network analysis showed that DEP for the 3 comparisons had significant biological interactions but were associated with different functions. The results provide useful information on yak milk from different breeds in China, and elucidate the biological functions of yak milk proteins.

Abstract
The current study aims to investigate differences in whey protein of breastmilk of volunteered mother collected from two ethnic groups (Korean and Han) in China using data-independent acquisition (DIA) based proteomics technique. The total detected 624 proteins were principally allocated to cellular process of biological process (BP), cell and cell part of cell component (CC) and binding of molecular function (MF) according to Gene Ontology (GO) annotation; and carbohydrate metabolism of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. Among the 54 differently expressed proteins, 8 were related with immunity. Enrichment data showed that intracellular of GO functions and viral myocarditis of KEGG pathways were most significantly enriched (p < 0.05). Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network suggested that 40S ribosomal protein S27a and 60S ribosomal protein L10a which interacted most with other proteins ranked the top two hub proteins by MCC (Maximal Clique Centrality) method. This study may have guiding role for development of infant formula powder for specific infants of Han or Korean groups according to responding breastmilk composition.

Abstract
Casein micelles (CM) play an important role in milk secretion, stability, and processing. The composition and content of milk proteins are affected by physiological factors, which have been widely investigated. However, the variation in CM proteins in goat milk throughout the lactation cycle has yet to be fully clarified. In the current study, milk samples were collected at d 1, 3, 30, 90, 150, and 240 of lactation from 15 dairy goats. The size of CM was determined using laser light scattering, and CM proteins were separated, digested, and identified using data-independent acquisition (DIA) and data-dependent acquisition (DDA)-based proteomics approaches. According to clustering and principal component analysis, protein profiles identified using DIA were similar to those identified using the DDA approach. Significant differences in the abundance of 115 proteins during the lactation cycle were identified using the DIA approach. Developmental changes in the CM proteome corresponding to lactation stages were revealed: levels of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase, folate receptor α, and prominin 2 increased from 1 to 240 d, whereas levels of growth/differentiation factor 8, peptidoglycan-recognition protein, and 45 kDa calcium-binding protein decreased in the same period. In addition, lipoprotein lipase, glycoprotein IIIb, and α-lactalbumin levels increased from 1 to 90 d and then decreased to 240 d, which is consistent with the change in CM size. Protein-protein interaction analysis showed that fibronectin, albumin, and apolipoprotein E interacted more with other proteins at the central node. These findings indicate that changes in the CM proteome during lactation could be related to requirements of newborn development, as well as mammary gland development, and may thus contribute to elucidating the physical and chemical properties of CM.

Abstract
Breast milk is an unparalleled food for infants, as it can meet almost all of their nutritional needs. Breast milk in the first month is an important source of acquired immunity. However, breast milk protein may vary with the stage of lactation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to use a data-independent acquisition approach to determine the differences in the proteins of breast milk during different lactation periods. The study samples were colostrum (3-6 days), transitional milk (7-14 days), and mature milk (15-29 days). The results identified a total of 2085 different proteins, and colostrum contained the most characteristic proteins. Protein expression was affected by the lactation stage. The proteins expressed in breast milk changed greatly between day 3 and day 14 and gradually stabilized after 14 days. The expression levels of lactoferrin, immunoglobulin, and clusterin were the highest in colostrum. CTP synthase 1, C-type lectin domain family 19 member A, secretoglobin family 3A member 2, trefoil factor 3 (TFF3), and tenascin were also the highest in colostrum. This study provides further insights into the protein composition of breast milk and the necessary support for the design and production of infant formula.

Abstract
Using reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet (UV) detection and electrospray ionization (ESI)-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC-UV-ESI-Q-TOF), the lysozyme content in the milk of 10 volunteering mothers was quantified, ranging from 29 to 96 μg/mL. Following ultracentifugation, it was found that the lysozyme in human milk, unlike other whey proteins, is mainly bound to casein micelles (ca. 75%). The enzymatic activity of human lysozyme, measured as lytic activity against cell walls of Micrococcus lysodeikticus, was similar for the micelle-bound and free protein, indicating that the micellar structure should not affect the antibacterial activity of lysozyme. The results indicate that lysozyme is an integral component of casein micelles in human milk.
