Abstract
Unfolding in combination with or without acid hydrolysis is crucial for the formation of functional amyloid (fibrillar) or amyloid-like (worm-like) β-lactoglobulin (BLG) aggregates, which can be induced through temperature treatment for several hours at pH 2-4. A preceding conformational destabilization of BLG might affect its aggregation. We investigated ultraviolet (UV) B radiation as conformational perturbing treatment to facilitate temperature-induced protein aggregation. 2-h UVB pretreated BLG (UV-BLG) exhibited an accelerated worm-like aggregation at pH 3.5, while at pH 2 the formation of fibrils was decelerated. The UV-induced conformational destabilization lowered the thermal stability and thus facilitates unfolding during thermal treatment. Thereby, the formation of covalent and non-covalent intermolecular interactions was favored, which promoted assembly of intact proteins resulting in worm-like aggregates. The oxidative degradation of UV-BLG was suggested to alter fibrillation-prone protein regions and thereby impede peptide assembly.

Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) B irradiation induces protein modification, especially the conformational rearrangement of proteins, and is therefore promising as a non-thermal and non-chemical functionalization technique. Nevertheless, UVB irradiation introduces radicals and oxidizes side chains resulting in the loss of food quality. Thus, assessing the UVB irradiation-based functionalization of β-lactoglobulin (BLG) versus its oxidative degradation is of interest. UVB irradiation of up to 8 h was successfully applied to loosen the rigid folding of BLG and increase its flexibility. Thereby, the cysteine at position 121 and hydrophobic regions became surface-exposed as indicated by the increase in accessible thiol groups and increased surface hydrophobicity. Furthermore, we demonstrated the cleavage of the "outer" disulfide bond C66-C160 by LC-MS/MS after tryptic digestion of BLG. The 2-h-irradiated BLG showed adequate conformational rearrangement for protein functionalization while being minimally oxidized.

Abstract
This study investigated structural changes and the in vivo retention in the oral cavity of heated whey protein concentrate (WPC). Heated WPC was shown to have both a higher retention time in the oral cavity compared to unheated whey protein up to 1 min post swallow, and a concomitant increase in free thiol concentration. Nuclear magnetic resonance and circular dichroism demonstrated structural changes in the secondary and tertiary structures of the WPC upon heating. Structural loss of the β-barrel was shown to increase during heating, leading to the exposure of hydrophobic regions. The increase in free thiols and hydrophobic regions are two factors which are known to increase mucoadhesive strength and hence increase oral retention of heated whey protein which may subsequently increase the perception of mouthdrying.

Abstract
Whey protein pectin complexes can be applied to replace fat in food products, e.g., pudding and yogurt, contributing to creaminess while adding a source of protein and fiber. Production of these complexes is usually conducted on the laboratory scale in small batches. Recently, a process using a scraped-surface heat exchanger (SSHE) has been employed; however, dispersion preparation time, feasibility of using different whey protein sources and enrichment of the complexes for subsequent drying have not been assessed. Preparing whey protein pectin dispersions by solid mixing of pectin and whey protein powders resulted in larger complexes than powders dispersed separately and subsequently mixed after a hydration time. Dispersions without hydration of the mixed dispersions before thermomechanical treatment had the largest particle sizes. The targeted particle size of d90,3 < 10 µm, an important predictor for creaminess, was obtained for five of the six tested whey protein sources. Dispersions of complexes prepared using whey protein powders had larger particles, with less particle volume in the submicron range, than those prepared using whey protein concentrates. Efficiency of complex enrichment via acid-induced aggregation and subsequent centrifugation was assessed by yield and purity of protein in the pellet and pectin in the supernatant.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a useful technique to study the interaction between molecules and how they are affected by various processes and processing conditions. This review summarizes the application of MD simulations in food processing and safety, with an emphasis on the effects that emerging nonthermal technologies (for example, high hydrostatic pressure, pulsed electric field) have on the molecular and structural characteristics of foods and biomaterials. The advances and potential projection of MD simulations in the science and engineering aspects of food materials are discussed and focused on research work conducted to study the effects of emerging technologies on food components. It is expected by showing key case studies that it will stir novel developments as a valuable tool to study the effects of emerging food technologies on biomaterials. This review is useful to food researchers and the food industry, as well as researchers and practitioners working on flavor and nutraceutical encapsulations, dietary carbohydrate product developments, modified starches, protein engineering, and other novel food applications.

Abstract
Significant strides have been recently made to fold peptides and small proteins in silico using MD simulations. However, facilities are currently lacking to include disulfide bonding in the MD models of protein folding. To address this problem, we have developed a simple empirical protocol to model formation of disulfides, which is perturbation-free, retains the same speed as conventional MD simulations and allows one to control the reaction rate. The new protocol has been tested on 15-aminoacid peptide guanylin containing four cysteine residues; the net simulation time using Amber ff14SB force field was 61 μs. The resulting isomer distribution is in qualitative agreement with experiment, suggesting that oxidative folding of guanylin in vitro occurs under kinetic control. The highly stable conformation of the so-called isomer 2(B) has been obtained for full-length guanylin, which is significantly different from the poorly ordered structure of the truncated peptide PDB ID 1GNB. In addition, we have simulated oxidative folding of guanylin within the 94-aminoacid prohormone proguanylin. The obtained structure is in good agreement with the NMR coordinates 1O8R. The proposed modeling strategy can help to explore certain fundamental aspects of protein folding and is potentially relevant for manufacturing of synthetic peptides and recombinant proteins.
