Tan Y, Cao Y, Chang SKC. Characteristics of soy films as affected by transglutaminase cross-linking and inclusions of pectin and protein enhancers. J Food Sci 2024; 89:4389-4402. [PMID: 38957134 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.17107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
Previously, we showed that water extract (soymilk, except pH was increased to 8 from 6.5) of whole soybean could be used directly as a raw material for producing edible soy films by deposition of the film-forming solution (soy extract with enhancers). However, the strength of such soy films needed improvement because they were weak. The purpose of this study was to investigate how transglutaminase (TG) cross-linking reactions and film enhancers, including pectin (low- and high-methoxyl pectin), whey protein isolate (WPI), and soy protein isolate (SPI), improve the physical properties of soy films. Soy films prepared with TG had tensile strength (TS) of 3.01 MPa and puncture strength (PS) of 0.78 MPa, which were higher by as much as 51% and 30% than that of soy films without TG treatment, respectively. Pectin showed significant effects on the mechanical properties of TG-added soy films in terms of TS, PS, and % elongation. On the other hand, only TS and PS were increased by the addition of WPI or SPI. Heat curing had a significant effect on soy film's physical properties. TG treatment significantly reduced film solubility when soaked in water and various levels of acid (vinegar) and base (baking soda) solutions. Under the experimental conditions of 35 unit TG and 28 min of reaction, the degrees of cross-linking were evidenced by the disappearance of individual protein subunits, except the basic subunit of glycinin, and the reduction of 21% of lysine residues of the proteins. HIGHLIGHTS: Edible soy films were made with transglutaminase and about 21% lysine cross-linked. The mechanical strength of soy films was increased by incorporating film enhancers. Transglutaminase enhanced the mechanical properties of soy films.

An imprint-based approach to replicate nano- to microscale roughness on gelatin hydrogel scaffolds: surface characterization and effect on endothelialization. JOURNAL OF BIOMATERIALS SCIENCE.

Abstract
Biologization of biomaterials with endothelial cells (ECs) is an important step in vascular tissue engineering, aiming at improving hemocompatibility and diminishing the thrombo-inflammatory response of implants. Since subcellular topography in the scale of nano to micrometers can influence cellular adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, we here investigate the effect of surface roughness on the endothelialization of gelatin hydrogel scaffolds. Considering the micron and sub-micron features of the different native tissues underlying the endothelium in the body, we carried out a biomimetic approach to replicate the surface roughness of tissues and analyzed how this impacted the adhesion and proliferation of human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs). Using an imprinting technique, nano and micro-roughness ranging from Sa= 402 nm to Sa= 8 μm were replicated on the surface of gelatin hydrogels. Fluorescent imaging of HUVECs on consecutive days after seeding revealed that microscale topographies negatively affect cell spreading and proliferation. By contrast, nanoscale roughnesses of Sa= 402 and Sa= 538 nm promoted endothelialization as evidenced by the formation of confluent cell monolayers with prominent VE-cadherin surface expression. Collectively, we present an affordable and flexible imprinting method to replicate surface characteristics of tissues on hydrogels and demonstrate how nanoscale roughness positively supports their endothelialization.

[PMID: 38247734 PMCID: PMC10815621 DOI: 10.3390/gels10010011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Pulse proteins, such as pea and chickpea proteins, have inferior functionality, specifically gelation, compared to soy protein, hindering their applications in different food products, such as meat analogs. To close the functionality gap, protein polymerization via targeted modification can be pursued. Accordingly, transglutaminase-induced polymerization was evaluated in pea protein isolate (PPI) and chickpea protein isolate (ChPI) to improve their functionality. The PPI and ChPI were produced following a scaled-up salt extraction coupled with ultrafiltration (SE-UF) process. Transglutaminase (TGase)-modified PPI and ChPI were evaluated in comparison to unmodified counterparts and to commercial protein ingredients. Protein denaturation and polymerization were observed in the TG PPI and TG ChPI. In addition, the TGase modification led to the formation of intermolecular β-sheet and β-turn structures that contributed to an increase in high-molecular-weight polymers, which, in turn, significantly improved the gel strength. The TG ChPI had a significantly higher gel strength but a lower emulsification capacity than the TG PPI. These results demonstrated the impact of the inherent differences in the protein fractions on the functional behavior among species. For the first time, the functional behavior of the PPI and ChPI, produced on a pilot scale under mild processing conditions, was comprehensively evaluated as impacted by the TGase-induced structural changes.

Abstract
Microbial transglutaminases (mTGs) belong to the family of global TGs, isolated and characterised by various bacterial strains, with the first being Streptomyces mobaraensis. This literature review also discusses TGs of animal and plant origin. TGs catalyse the formation of an isopeptide bond, cross-linking the amino and acyl groups. Due to its broad enzymatic activity, TG is extensively utilised in the food industry. The annual net growth in the utilisation of enzymes in the food processing industry is estimated to be 21.9%. As of 2020, the global food enzymes market was valued at around $2.3 billion USD (mTG market was estimated to be around $200 million USD). Much of this growth is attributed to the applications of mTG, benefiting both producers and consumers. In the food industry, TG enhances gelation and modifies emulsification, foaming, viscosity, and water-holding capacity. Research on TG, mainly mTG, provides increasing insights into the wide range of applications of this enzyme in various industrial sectors and promotes enzymatic processing. This work presents the characteristics of TGs, their properties, and the rationale for their utilisation. The review aims to provide theoretical foundations that will assist researchers worldwide in building a methodological framework and furthering the advancement of biotechnology research.

Developments in Plant Proteins Production for Meat and Fish Analogues. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28072966. [PMID: 37049729 PMCID: PMC10095742 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28072966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In recent years, there have been significant developments in plant proteins production for meat and fish analogues. Some of the key developments include the use of new plant protein sources such as soy, legumes, grains, potatoes, and seaweed, as well as insect proteins, leaf proteins, mushrooms, and microbial proteins. Furthermore, to improve the technological and functional properties of plant proteins, they can be subjected to traditional and unconventional treatments such as chemical (glycosylation, deamidation, phosphorylation, and acylation), physical (pulsed electric fields, ultrasound, high hydrostatic pressure, dynamic high-pressure treatment, and cold plasma), and biological (fermentation and enzymatic modification). To obtain the high quality and the desired texture of the food product, other ingredients besides proteins, such as water, fat, flavors, binders, dyes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, also have to be used. The final product can be significantly influenced by the matrix composition, variety of ingredients, and water content, with the type of ingredients playing a role in either enhancing or constraining the desired texture of the food. There are several types of technologies used for meat and fish analogues production, including extrusion, shear cell technology, spinning, 3D printing, and others. Overall, the technologies used for meat and fish analogues production are constantly evolving as new innovations are developed and existing methods are improved. These developments have led to the creation of plant-based products that have a similar texture, taste, and nutritional profile to meat and fish, making them more appealing to consumers seeking alternatives to animal-based products.

Unaided efficient transglutaminase cross-linking of whey proteins strongly impacts the formation and structure of protein alginate particles. FOOD CHEMISTRY: MOLECULAR SCIENCES 2022; 5:100137. [PMID: 36164490 PMCID: PMC9508153 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochms.2022.100137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2022] [Revised: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Microbial transglutaminase (MTG) cross-linked >70% β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) at pH 8.5. Initial MTG catalyzed isopeptide bond formation caused partial unfolding of β-Lg. >75% of whey protein cross-linked, forming hetero-polymers containing β-Lg. 50% less alginate is needed to form particles with cross-linked than with native β-Lg. Cross-linked β-Lg and alginate formed suspendable hydrophobically driven particles.
There is a dogma within whey protein modification, which dictates the necessity of pretreatment to enzymatic cross-linking of β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg). Here microbial transglutaminase (MTG) cross-linked whey proteins and β-Lg effectively in 50 mM NaHCO3, pH 8.5, without pretreatment. Cross-linked β-Lg spanned 18 to >240 kDa, where 6 of 9 glutamines reacted with 8 of 15 lysines. The initial isopeptide bond formation caused loss of β-Lg native structure with t1/2 = 3 h, while the polymerization occurred with t1/2 = 10 h. Further, cross-linking effects on protein carbohydrate interaction have been overlooked, leaving a gap in understanding of these complex food matrices. Complexation with alginate showed that β-Lg cross-linking decreased onset of particle formation, hydrodynamic diameter, stoichiometry (β-Lg/alginate) and dissociation constant. The complexation was favored at higher temperatures (40 °C), suggesting that hydrophobic interactions were important. Thus, β-Lg was cross-linked without pretreatment and the resulting polymers gave rise to altered complexation with alginate.

Abstract
Until now, Streptoverticillium mobaraense transglutaminase (TG) is the only commercialized TG, but limited information is known about its selection tendency on crosslinking sites at the protein level, restricting its application in the food industry. Here, four recombinant Bacillus TGs were stable in a broad range of pH (5.0−9.0) and temperatures (<50 °C), exhibiting their maximum activity at 50−60 °C and pH 6.0−7.0. Among them, TG of B. cereus (BCETG) demonstrated the maximal specific activity of 177 U/mg. A structural analysis indicated that the Ala147-Ala156 region in the substrate tunnel of BCETG played a vital role in catalytic activity. Furthermore, bovine serum albumin, as well as nearly all protein ingredients in soy protein isolate and whey protein, could be cross-linked by BCETG, and the internal crosslinking paths of three protein substrates were elucidated. This study demonstrated Bacillus TGs are a candidate for protein crosslinking and provided their crosslinking mechanism at the protein level for applications in food processing.

Abstract
AbstractTo investigate the influence of the internal micellar structure on the course of enzymatic cross-linking especially in the initial phase of the reaction, casein micelles isolated from raw milk via ultracentrifugation were incubated with microbial transglutaminase (mTG) in comparison with non-micellar sodium caseinate. Reactive lysine and glutamine residues were identified using a label-free approach, based on the identification of isopeptides within tryptic hydrolysates by targeted HRMS as well as manual monitoring of fragmentation spectra. Identified reactive sites were furthermore weighted by tracking the formation of isopeptides over an incubation time of 15, 30, 45 and 60 min, respectively. Fifteen isopeptides formed in the early stage of mTG cross-linking of caseins were identified and further specified concerning the position of lysine and glutamine residues involved in the reaction. The results revealed lysine K176 and glutamine Q175 of β-casein as the most reactive residues, which might be located in a highly flexible region of the molecule based on different possible reaction partners identified in this study. Except for the isopeptide αs1 K34–αs2 Q101 in sodium caseinate (SC), all reactive sites were detected in micellar and in non-micellar casein, indicating that the initial phase of enzymatic cross-linking is not affected by micellar aggregation of caseins.

Physicochemical and Sensory Attributes of Intact and Restructured Chicken Breast Meat Supplemented with Transglutaminase. Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11092641.

Abstract
Simple Summary Transglutaminases are enzymes used for joining cuts or fragments of meat together to make larger pieces that are easier to handle or a product that is more attractive to consumers. They react differently with various meats and at different inclusion levels, so this study investigated quality traits of intact chicken meat and restructured chicken meat supplemented with different proportions of transglutaminase. The results showed that enzyme-supplemented restructured meat had lower cooking loss and greater tenderness compared to intact meat. Sensory attributes were not affected by the supplemented enzyme, and there was no difference in these attributes compared to intact meat. Therefore, supplementation with transglutaminase could be undoubtedly considered as a valuable contributing agent in improving yield and texture of minced meat, and reducing other additives usually used in chicken meat processing. Abstract Transglutaminases (TG) are enzymes that improve the functional properties of proteins in meat products, contribute to the strong cohesion of meat without the further need for the addition of sodium chloride or phosphates, and have a positive effect on the texture of the meat product. This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical and sensory attributes of intact and restructured chicken meat supplemented with different TG proportions. The study was conducted on chicken breast meat samples (n = 40) originating from the line Ross 308. The intact samples were separated from the pectoralis major muscle, whereas the rest of the breast meat was ground, divided into equal parts, and supplemented with TG (0.2%; 0.4%; 0.6%; 0.8%; 1%). The intact meat had the highest cooking loss (19.84) when compared to 0.2% (15.51), 0.4% (15.04), 0.6% (14.95), 0.8% (14.95), and 1% (15.79) TG-supplemented meat. The intact meat had greater shear force (16.90) than 0.2% (5.16), 0.4% (5.39), 0.6% (5.16), 0.8% (5.98), and 1% (6.92) TG supplemented meat. There was no difference between intact meat and TG-supplemented meat in color, taste, odor, texture, and overall acceptability (p > 0.05). Therefore, TG supplementation can be used in improving yield and texture of minced chicken meat.

Abstract
Numerous dough improvers are used alone or in combination to enhance the quality of baked goods such as breads. While modern consumers demand consistent quality, the expectations for ingredients have changed over the past few years, and reformulations have taken place to provide "clean label" options. However, the effects and mechanisms of blended dough conditioners suitable for such baked products have not been systematically summarized. In this review, dough and bread properties as affected by different improver combinations are examined, with a focus on additive or synergistic interactions between enzymes or between enzymes and ascorbic acid. The combination of enzymes that hydrolyze starch and cell wall polysaccharides has been shown to reduce textural hardness in fresh and stored bakes goods such as breads. Enzymes that hydrolyze arabinoxylans, the main nonstarch polysaccharide in wheat, have synergistic effects with enzymes that result in cross-linking of wheat flour biopolymers. In some studies, the effects of bread improvers varied for wheat flours of different strength. Overall, bread products in which wheat is used in whole grain form or in a blend with other flours especially benefit from multiple improvers that target different flour constituents in doughs.

Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) harness the highly specific targeting capabilities of an antibody to deliver a cytotoxic payload to specific cell types. They have garnered widespread interest in drug discovery, particularly in oncology, as discrimination between healthy and malignant tissues or cells can be achieved. Nine ADCs have received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration and more than 80 others are currently undergoing clinical investigations for a range of solid tumours and haematological malignancies. Extensive research over the past decade has highlighted the critical nature of the linkage strategy adopted to attach the payload to the antibody. Whilst early generation ADCs were primarily synthesised as heterogeneous mixtures, these were found to have sub-optimal pharmacokinetics, stability, tolerability and/or efficacy. Efforts have now shifted towards generating homogeneous constructs with precise drug loading and predetermined, controlled sites of attachment. Homogeneous ADCs have repeatedly demonstrated superior overall pharmacological profiles compared to their heterogeneous counterparts. A wide range of methods have been developed in the pursuit of homogeneity, comprising chemical or enzymatic methods or a combination thereof to afford precise modification of specific amino acid or sugar residues. In this review, we discuss advances in chemical and enzymatic methods for site-specific antibody modification that result in the generation of homogeneous ADCs.

Abstract
The microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) from Streptomyces mobaraense is widely used in the food industry. However, recombinant production of mTGase is challenging because the mTGase is synthesized as an inactive zymogen, and needs to be activated by proteolytic processing. In this study, self-cleaving intein Ssp DnaB was applied to activate the mTGase in Corynebacterium glutamicum. Premature cleavage of intein Ssp DnaB also occurred, but instead of suppressing premature cleavage, this phenomenon was used to produce active mTGase in C. glutamicum. Both SDS-PAGE analysis and mTGase activity assays indicated that the premature cleavage of intein Ssp DnaB activated the mTGase intracellularly in C. glutamicum. The subsequent N-terminal amino acid sequencing and site-directed mutagenesis studies further showed that the premature cleavage activated the mTGase intracellularly, in a highly specific manner. Moreover, the growth performance of C. glutamicum was not noticeably affected by the intracellular expression of active mTGase. Finally, the mTGase was produced in a 2 L bioreactor, with activity up to 49 U/mL, the highest intracellular mTGase activity ever reported. Using premature cleavage of intein Ssp DnaB to activate mTGase in C. glutamicum, we produced high levels of intracellular active mTGase. Moreover, this approach did not require any further processing steps, such as protease treatment or lengthy incubation, greatly simplifying the production of active mTGase. This efficient and simple approach has great potential for the large-scale industrial production of active mTGase.
