Abstract
Microorganisms' ice-binding structures (IBS) are macromolecules with potential commercial value in agriculture, food technology, material technology, cryobiology, and medicine. Microbial ice-structuring or microbial ice-binding particles, with their multi-applications, are simple to use, effective in low amounts, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. Due to their source and composition diversities, microbial ice-binding structures are gaining attention because they are useable in various conditions. Some microorganisms also produce structures with dual ice-nucleating and anti-freezing properties. Structures that promote ice formation (ice nucleating particles- INPs) act as ice nuclei, lowering the energy barrier between supercooled liquid and ice, causing ice crystals to form. In contrast, anti-freeze particles (AFPs) prevent ice formation and recrystallization through several mechanisms, including disturbing the formation of string hydrogen bonds amongst water molecules, melting already formed ice crystals, and preventing crystal formation by binding to specific sites. Knowledge of the type and function of microbial ice-binding structures lends fundamental insight for possible scaling the production of cheap, functional, and advanced microbial structure-inspired mimics and by-products. This review focuses on microbial ice-binding structures and their potential uses in the food, medicinal, environmental, and agricultural sectors.

Metabolomic insights into the effect of chickpea protein hydrolysate on the freeze-thaw tolerance of industrial yeasts. Food Chem 2024; 439:138143. [PMID: 38103490 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138143] [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: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
The use of frozen dough is an intensive food-processing practice that contributes to the development of chain operations in the bakery industry. However, the fermentation activity of yeasts in frozen dough can be severely damaged by freeze-thaw stress, thereby degrading the final bread quality. In this study, chickpea protein hydrolysate significantly improved the quality of steamed bread made from frozen dough while enhancing the yeast survival rate and maintaining yeast cell structural integrity under freeze-thaw stress. The mechanism underlying this protective role of chickpea protein hydrolysate was further investigated by untargeted metabolomics analysis, which suggested that chickpea protein hydrolysate altered the intracellular metabolites associated with central carbon metabolism, amino acid synthesis, and lipid metabolism to improve yeast cell freeze-thaw tolerance. Therefore, chickpea protein hydrolysate is a promising natural antifreeze component for yeast cryopreservation in the frozen dough industry.

Abstract
Magnetic field individually applied on the maximum ice crystal formation zone (MMF) and the whole freezing process (WMF) was compared to improve the quality of multiple freezing-thawing treated dough. All treatments showed that the breadmaking performances of magnetic field-assisted freezing were better than the conventional freezing. Especially, the WMF-treated breads exhibited higher resilience and lower firmness than MMF-treated breads. WMF treatment made dough remained a continuous and compact gluten-starch matrix while the starches and glutens got separated in MMF-treated dough. It could keep the gluten macropolymer from freezing-induced depolymerization with the decreased free sulfhydryl by 7.09% and more ordered secondary structure. WMF had positive effects on the homogeneous water distribution and high water-binding ability in frozen dough where the freezable water decreased from 32.47% to 30.77%. This comparative study of different freezing stages provided new insights into the better application of magnetic field on frozen dough-based food.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, frozen dough has become more popular because of its ability to be quickly transformed into freshly baked foods. During the storage and transport process, frozen dough can suffer some degree of damage caused by ice crystallization and recrystallization. Adding polysaccharides to frozen dough is a good way to solve this problem. Tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP) has excellent ice crystal steady ability and has also been widely used in frozen foods. However, there is no study on the use of TSP in frozen dough. RESULTS TSP can stabilize the bound water content, inhibit the freezable water content, and increase elasticity. However, the dough with different structures of TSP added was less firm after 30 days of freezing compared to the dough without TSP, and the porosity and stomatal density of the prepared steamed bread gradually decreased. The addition of TSP reduced gluten deterioration during the freezing process, thus decreasing the collapse and uneven porosity of the steamed bread. CONCLUSIONS The results could provide new insights into the structure of TSP and its effect on the quality characteristics of frozen dough. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
By natural selection, organisms evolve different solutions to cope with extremely cold weather. The emergence of an antifreeze protein gene is one of the most momentous solutions. Antifreeze proteins possess an importantly functional ability for organisms to survive in cold environments and are widely found in various cold-tolerant species. In this review, we summarize the origin of antifreeze proteins, describe the diversity of their species-specific properties and functions, and highlight the related biotechnology on the basis of both laboratory tests and bioinformatics analysis. The most recent advances in the applications of antifreeze proteins are also discussed. We expect that this systematic review will contribute to the comprehensive knowledge of antifreeze proteins to readers.

Abstract
Necessitated by the subzero temperatures and seasonal exposure to ice, various organisms have developed a remarkably effective means to survive the harsh climate of their natural habitats. Their ice-binding (glyco)proteins keep the nucleation and growth of ice crystals in check by recognizing and binding to specific ice crystal faces, which arrests further ice growth and inhibits ice recrystallization (IRI). Inspired by the success of this adaptive strategy, various approaches have been proposed over the past decades to engineer materials that harness these cryoprotective features. In this review we discuss the prospects and challenges associated with these advances focusing in particular on peptidic antifreeze materials both identical and akin to natural ice-binding proteins (IBPs). We address the latest advances in their design, synthesis, characterization and application in preservation of biologics and foods. Particular attention is devoted to insights in structure-activity relations culminating in the synthesis of de novo peptide analogues. These are sequences that resemble but are not identical to naturally occurring IBPs. We also draw attention to impactful developments in solid-phase peptide synthesis and 'greener' synthesis routes, which may aid to overcome one of the major bottlenecks in the translation of this technology: unavailability of large quantities of low-cost antifreeze materials with excellent IRI activity at (sub)micromolar concentrations.

Abstract
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are a class of ice-binding proteins that promote survival of a variety of cold-adapted organisms by decreasing the freezing temperature of bodily fluids. A growing number of biomedical, agricultural, and commercial products, such as organs, foods, and industrial fluids, have benefited from the ability of AFPs to control ice crystal growth and prevent ice recrystallization at subzero temperatures. One limitation of AFP use in these latter contexts is their tendency to denature and irreversibly lose activity at the elevated temperatures of certain industrial processing or large-scale AFP production. Using the small, thermolabile type III AFP as a model system, we demonstrate that AFP thermostability is dramatically enhanced via split intein-mediated N- and C-terminal end ligation. To engineer this circular protein, computational modeling and molecular dynamics simulations were applied to identify an extein sequence that would fill the 20-Å gap separating the free ends of the AFP, yet impose little impact on the structure and entropic properties of its ice-binding surface. The top candidate was then expressed in bacteria, and the circularized protein was isolated from the intein domains by ice-affinity purification. This circularized AFP induced bipyramidal ice crystals during ice growth in the hysteresis gap and retained 40% of this activity even after incubation at 100°C for 30 min. NMR analysis implicated enhanced thermostability or refolding capacity of this protein compared to the noncyclized wild-type AFP. These studies support protein backbone circularization as a means to expand the thermostability and practical applications of AFPs.

Abstract
Changes in the quality of frozen mango cuboids were investigated during long-term glassy state storage with and without osmotic dehydration pretreatment. The mango cuboids were dehydrated in mixed solutions (sucrose: glucose: fructose in a ratio of 3.6:1:3) of different concentrations (30, 40, and 50% (wt/wt)) prior to freezing and then stored at -55 °C (in the glassy state) for 6 months. The results revealed that compared with the untreated samples, osmotic pretreatment decreased total color difference (reduced by 15.6-62.3%), drip loss (reduced by 8.2-29.5%) and titration acidity (reduced by 1.3-9.4%), while increasing hardness (increased by 48.8-82.3%), vitamin C content (increased by 72.5-120.6%) and total soluble solids (increased by 21.8-53.7%) of frozen mangoes after 6 months. Dehydration with a sugar concentration of 40% was considered as the optimal pretreatment condition. In addition, a storage temperature of -55 °C provided better retention of quality than rubbery state storage at -18 °C. With prolonged storage time, the quality of frozen mangoes continued to change, even in the glassy state. However, the changes in quality of the osmotic-dehydrated samples were less than those of the untreated samples. The current work indicates that osmotic pretreatment and glassy state storage significantly improved the quality of frozen mangoes during long-term storage.

Abstract
Ice crystal formation is of primary concern to the frozen food industry. In this study, the effects of antifreeze peptides (AFPs) on ice crystal formation were assessed in carrot during freezing and thawing. Three synthetic analogues based on naturally occurring antifreeze peptides were used in this study. The AFPs exhibited modification of ice crystal morphology, confirming their antifreeze activity in vitro. The ability of the synthetic AFPs to minimize drip loss and preserve color, structure, texture, and volatiles of frozen carrot was evaluated using the techniques of SEM, GC-MS, and texture analysis. The results prove the potential of these AFPs to preserve the above characteristics in frozen carrot samples.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to provide the reader with a simple setup that can detect antifreeze proteins (AFP) by inhibition of ice recrystallisation in very small sample sizes. This includes an open source cryostage, a method for preparing and loading samples as well as a software analysis method. The entire setup was tested using hyperactive AFP from the cerambycid beetle, Rhagium mordax. Samples containing AFP were compared to buffer samples, and the results are visualised as crystal radius evolution over time and in absolute change over 30 min. Statistical analysis showed that samples containing AFP could reliably be told apart from controls after only two minutes of recrystallisation. The goal of providing a fast, cheap and easy method for detecting antifreeze proteins in solution was met, and further development of the system can be followed at https://github.com/pechano/cryostage.

Abstract
Fresh harvested dates are perishable and there is a need for extending their shelf life while preserving their fresh like quality characteristics. This study evaluates three different freezing methods, namely cryogenic freezing (CF) using liquid nitrogen; individual quick freezing (IQF) and conventional slow freezing (CSF) in preserving the quality and stability of dates during frozen storage. Fresh dates were frozen utilizing the three methods. The produced frozen dates were frozen stored for nine months. The color values, textural parameters, and nutrition qualities were measured for fresh dates before freezing and for the frozen dates every three months during the frozen storage. The frozen dates’ color values were affected by the freezing method and the frozen storage period. There are substantial differences in the quality of the frozen fruits in favor of cryogenic freezing followed by individual quick freezing compared to the conventional slow freezing. The results revealed large disparity among the times of freezing of the three methods. The freezing time accounted to 10 min for CF, and around 80 min for IQF, and 1800 min for CSF method.

Abstract
Across the world, many ice active bacteria utilize ice crystal controlling proteins for aid in freezing tolerance at subzero temperatures. Ice crystal controlling proteins include both antifreeze and ice nucleation proteins. Antifreeze proteins minimize freezing damage by inhibiting growth of large ice crystals, while ice nucleation proteins induce formation of embryonic ice crystals. Although both protein classes have differing functions, these proteins use the same ice binding mechanisms. Rather than direct binding, it is probable that these protein classes create an ice surface prior to ice crystal surface adsorption. Function is differentiated by molecular size of the protein. This paper reviews the similar and different aspects of bacterial antifreeze and ice nucleation proteins, the role of these proteins in freezing tolerance, prevalence of these proteins in psychrophiles, and current mechanisms of protein-ice interactions.

Abstract
Microbial consortia may harbour an array of resistance mechanisms that facilitate survival under harsh conditions, including antifreeze and ice-nucleation proteins. Antifreeze proteins lower freezing points as well as inhibit the growth of large, potentially damaging ice crystals from small ice embryos. In contrast, ice-nucleation proteins prevent supercooling and allow ice formation at high, sub-zero temperatures. Psychrophiles and psychrotolerant microbes are typically sought in extremely cold environments. However, given that geography is unlikely to present an insurmountable barrier to microbial dispersal, we reasoned that species with low-temperature adaptations should also be present, although rare, in more temperate environments. In consequence, the challenge then becomes one of selecting for rare microbes present in a larger community. Following the introductory commentary, we demonstrate that both freeze-thaw survival and ice-affinity selection can be used to identify microbes, which demonstrate low-temperature resistance, from enrichments derived from temperate environments. Selection resulted in a drastic decrease in cell abundance and diversity, allowing the isolation of a subset of resistant microbes. Depending on the origin of the consortia, these resistant microbes demonstrated cross-tolerance to osmotic stress, or a high proportion of antifreeze and/or ice-nucleation protein activities. Both types of ice-associating proteins presumably facilitate microbial survival at low temperatures. These proteins, as well as molecules that maintain osmotic balance, are also of commercial interest, with applications in the food, energy and medical industries. In addition, the resistant phenotypes described here provide a glimpse into the breadth of strategies microbes use to survive and thrive at low temperatures.

Abstract
In this study, a novel recombinant type I antifreeze protein analogue (rAFP) was produced and secreted by Lactococcus lactis, a food-grade microorganism of major commercial importance. Antifreeze proteins are potent cryogenic protection agents for the cryopreservation of food and pharmaceutical materials. A food-grade expression and fermentation system (BSE- and antibiotic-free) for the production and secretion of high levels of rAFP was developed. Lyophilized, crude rAFP produced by L. lactis was tested in a frozen meat and frozen dough processing model. The frozen meat treated with the antifreeze protein showed less drip loss, less protein loss, and a high score on juiciness by sensory evaluation. Frozen dough treated with the rAFP showed better fermentation capacity than untreated frozen dough. Breads baked from frozen dough treated with rAFP acquired the same consumer acceptance as fresh bread.
