Abstract
Bioactive peptides (BAPs) represent a unique class of peptides known for their extensive physiological functions and their role in enhancing human health. In recent decades, owing to their notable biological attributes such as antioxidant, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory activities, BAPs have received considerable attention. Simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SGD) is a technique designed to mimic physiological conditions by adjusting factors such as digestive enzymes and their concentrations, pH levels, digestion duration, and salt content. Initially established for analyzing the gastrointestinal processing of foods or their constituents, SGD has recently become a preferred method for generating BAPs. The BAPs produced via SGD often exhibit superior biological activity and stability compared with those of BAPs prepared via other methods. This review offers a comprehensive examination of the recent advancements in BAP production from foods via SGD, addressing the challenges of the method and outlining prospective directions for further investigation.

Isolation and differential structure characteristics of calcium-binding peptides derived from Pacific cod bones by hydroxyapatite affinity. Food Chem 2024; 451:139268. [PMID: 38663247 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139268] [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: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Calcium-chelating peptides were found in Pacific cod bone, but their binding structure and properties have not been elucidated. Novel calcium-binding peptides were isolated by hydroxyapatite affinity chromatography (HAC), and their binding structure and properties were investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), multispectral techniques, and mass spectrometry. Based on multiple purifications, the calcium binding capacity (CBC) of Pacific cod bone peptides (PBPs) was increased from 1.71 ± 0.15 μg/mg to 7.94 ± 1.56 μg/mg. Peptides with a molecular weight of 1-2 kDa are closely correlated with CBC. After binding to calcium, the secondary structure of peptides transitioned from random coil to β-sheet, resulting in a loose and porous microstructure. Hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interaction, and hydrophobic interaction contribute to the formation of peptide‑calcium complexes. The F21 contained 42 peptides, with repeated "GE" motif. Differential structure analysis provides a theoretical basis for the targeted preparation of high CBC peptides.

Lactoferrin thermal stabilization and iron(II) fortification through ternary complex fabrication with succinylated sodium caseinate. Food Chem X 2024; 22:101498.

Abstract
A thermally stable co-delivery system for lactoferrin (LF) and iron(II) was developed to address iron deficiency anemia. Complexes were formed between LF, succinylated sodium caseinate (S.NaCas) and FeSO4 with high yield (∼85%). LF-S.NaCas-Fe complexes achieved loading capacities for iron(II) between 2.5 and 12 mg g-1and LF loading capacities between 250 and 690 mg g-1, depending upon initial Fe2+ concentrations and LF ratios. The LF-S.NaCas complex mixtures appeared as smooth cubic particles in SEM, and gradually aggregated to amorphous particles as th iron(II) concentration increased due to iron-facilitated cross-linking. The complexation significantly improved LF thermal stability and addressed the poor solubility of iron(II) under neutral pH. After thermal treatment (95 °C, 5 min), the rehydrated complexes retained 68%-90% LF, with <10% iron(II) release. Circular dichroism spectra showed the secondary structure of the complexed LF was well retained during thermal treatment. This thermally stable system showed great potential in LF thermal protection and iron(II) fortification.

Abstract
Mineral elements including calcium, iron, and zinc play crucial roles in human health. Their deficiency causes public health risk globally. Commercial mineral supplements have limitations; therefore, alternatives with better solubility, bioavailability, and safety are needed. Chelates of food-derived peptides and mineral elements exhibit advantages in terms of stability, absorption rate, and safety. However, low binding efficiency limits their application. Extensive studies have focused on understanding and enhancing the chelating activity of food-derived peptides with mineral elements. This includes obtaining peptides with high chelating activity, elucidating interaction mechanisms, optimizing chelation conditions, and developing techniques to enhance the chelating activity. This review provides a comprehensive theoretical basis for the development and utilization of food-derived peptide-mineral element chelates in the food industry. Efforts to address the challenge of low binding rates between peptides and mineral elements have yielded promising results. Optimization of peptide sources, enzymatic hydrolysis processes, and purification schemes have helped in obtaining peptides with high chelating activity. The understanding of interaction mechanisms has been enhanced through advanced separation techniques and molecular simulation calculations. Optimizing chelation process conditions, including pH and temperature, can help in achieving high binding rates. Methods including phosphorylation modification and ultrasonic treatment can enhance the chelating activity.

Food Chem 2024; 441:138288.

Abstract
This study aimed to utilize zinc coordination to promote the hypoglycemic and antioxidant properties of walnut-derived peptides, such as walnut protein hydrolysate (WPH) and Leu-Pro-Leu-Leu-Arg (LPLLR, LP5), of which LP5 was previously identified from WPH. The optimal conditions for the chelation were a peptide-to-zinc ratio of 6:1, pH of 9, duration of 50 min, and temperature of 50 °C. The WPH-Zn and LP5-Zn complexes increased the α-glucosidase inhibition, α-amylase inhibition, and antioxidant activity more than WPH and LP5 (p < 0.05). In particular, the antioxidant activity of WPH-Zn was superior to LP5-Zn. This is attributable to the WPH containing more aromatic amino acids, carboxylate groups and the imidazole groups, which implies its capacity to potentially coordinate with Zn2+ to form the WPH-Zn complex. Moreover, particle size, zeta potential, and scanning electron microscope indicated that the chelation of Zn2+ by peptides led to intramolecular and intermolecular folding and aggregation.

Abstract
Calcium homeostasis imbalance in the body can lead to a variety of chronic diseases. Supplement efficiency is essential. Peptide calcium chelate, a fourth-generation calcium supplement, offers easy absorption and minimal side effects. Its effectiveness relies on peptide's calcium binding capacity. However, research on amino acid sequences in peptides with high calcium binding capacity (HCBC) is limited, affecting the efficient identification of such peptides. This study used soybean peptides (SP), separated and purified by gel chromatography, to obtain HCBC peptide (137.45 μg mg-1) and normal peptide (≤95.78 μg mg-1). Mass spectrometry identified the sequences of these peptides, and an analysis of the positional distribution of characteristic amino acids followed. Two HCBC peptides with sequences GGDLVS (271.55 μg mg-1) and YEGVIL (272.54 μg mg-1) were discovered. Molecular dynamics showed that when either aspartic acid is located near the N-terminal's middle, or glutamic acid is near the end, or in cases of continuous Asp or Glu, the binding speed, probability, and strength between the peptide and calcium ions are superior compared to those at other locations. The study's goal was to clarify how the positions of characteristic amino acids in peptides affect calcium binding, aiding in developing peptide calcium chelates as a novel calcium supplement.

Abstract
Rice protein peptides (RPP) are a potentially valuable source of high-quality calcium chelating properties. However, there is a lack of information regarding the calcium-absorption-promoting effect of RPP and its underlying mechanism. The present study adopted molecular docking methodologies to analyze the 10 most potent peptide segments from RPP. Results revealed that the peptide AHVGMSGEEPE (AHV) displayed optimal calcium binding properties (calcium-chelating capacity 55.69 ± 0.66 mg/g). Quantum chemistry analysis revealed that the AHV peptide effectively binds and forms stable complexes with calcium via the carbonyl oxygen atoms in valine at position 3 and the carbonyl of the C-terminal carboxyl group of glutamate at position 11. The spectral analysis results indicated that AHV may bind to calcium through carboxyl oxygen atoms, resulting in a transition from a smooth surface block-like structure to a dense granular structure. Furthermore, this study demonstrated that the 4 mmol/L AHV-Ca chelate (61.75 ± 13.23 μg/well) significantly increases calcium absorption compared to 1 mM CaCl2 (28.57 ± 8.59 μg/well) in the Caco-2 cell monolayer. In terms of mechanisms, the novel peptide-calcium chelate AHV-Ca derived from RPP exerts a cell-level effect by upregulating the expression of TRPV6 calcium-ion-channel-related genes and proteins (TRPV6 and Calbindin-D9k). This study provides a theoretical basis for developing functional foods with the AHV peptide as ingredients to improve calcium absorption.

Abstract
Peptides, both natural and synthetic, are well suited for a wide range of purposes and offer versatile applications in different fields such as biocatalysts, injectable hydrogels, tumor treatment, and drug delivery. The research of the better part of the cited papers was conducted using various database platforms such as MetalPDB. The rising prominence of therapeutic peptides encompasses anticancer, antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-neurodegenerative properties. The metals Na, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, and Mo are ten of the twenty elements that are considered essential for life. Crucial for understanding the biological role of metals is the exploration of metal-bound proteins and peptides. Aside from essential metals, there are other non-essential metals that also interact biologically, exhibiting either therapeutic or toxic effects. Irregularities in metal binding contribute to diseases like Alzheimer's, neurodegenerative disorders, Wilson's, and Menkes disease. Certain metal complexes have potential applications as radiopharmaceuticals. The examination of these complexes was achieved by preforming UV-Vis, IR, EPR, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray analysis. This summary, although unable to cover all of the studies in the field, offers a review of the ongoing experimentation and is a basis for new ideas, as well as strategies to explore and gain knowledge from the extensive realm of peptide-chelated metals and biotechnologies.

Abstract
Deer sinew as a by-product has high collagen and nutritional value. This study focuses on its hydrolysate being used as a calcium carrier to develop functional foods. The chelation mechanism was analyzed by SEM, EDS, UV-vis, FTIR, and fluorescence spectroscopy and zeta potential analysis after using peptide-sequenced deer sinew peptides for chelation with calcium ions. The results showed that the chelation of deer sinew peptides with calcium ions occurs mainly at the O and N atoms of carboxyl, amino and amide bonds. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that deer sinew peptide-calcium chelate (DSPs-Ca) promoted the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells without toxic side effects and increased the alkaline phosphatase activity. The DSPs-Ca group improved the bone microstructure induced by low calcium, as well as up-regulated the expression of genes responsible for calcium uptake in the kidneys, as evidenced by serum markers, bone sections, bone parameters, and gene expression analyses in low-calcium-fed mice. From the above, it can be concluded that DSPs-Ca is expected to be a calcium supplement food for promoting bone health.

Novel Ca-Chelating Peptides from Protein Hydrolysate of Antarctic Krill ( Euphausia superba): Preparation, Characterization, and Calcium Absorption Efficiency in Caco-2 Cell Monolayer Model. Mar Drugs 2023; 21:579. [PMID: 37999403 PMCID: PMC10672039 DOI: 10.3390/md21110579] [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: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is the world's largest resource of animal proteins and is thought to be a high-quality resource for future marine healthy foods and functional products. Therefore, Antarctic krill was degreased and separately hydrolyzed using flavourzyme, pepsin, papain, and alcalase. Protein hydrolysate (AKH) of Antarctic krill prepared by trypsin showed the highest Ca-chelating rate under the optimized chelating conditions: a pH of 8.0, reaction time of 50 min, temperature of 50 °C, and material/calcium ratio of 1:15. Subsequently, fourteen Ca-chelating peptides were isolated from APK by ultrafiltration and a series of chromatographic methods and identified as AK, EAR, AEA, VERG, VAS, GPK, SP, GPKG, APRGH, GVPG, LEPGP, LEKGA, FPPGR, and GEPG with molecular weights of 217.27, 374.40, 289.29, 459.50, 275.30, 300.36, 202.21, 357.41, 536.59, 328.37, 511.58, 516.60, 572.66, and 358.35 Da, respectively. Among fourteen Ca-chelating peptides, VERG presented the highest Ca-chelating ability. Ultraviolet spectrum (UV), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis indicated that the VERG-Ca chelate had a dense granular structure because the N-H, C=O and -COOH groups of VERG combined with Ca2+. Moreover, the VERG-Ca chelate is stable in gastrointestinal digestion and can significantly improve Ca transport in Caco-2 cell monolayer experiments, but phytate could significantly reduce the absorption of Ca derived from the VERG-Ca chelate. Therefore, Ca-chelating peptides from protein hydrolysate of Antarctic krill possess the potential to serve as a Ca supplement in developing healthy foods.

Recent Trends in Cereal- and Legume-Based Protein-Mineral Complexes: Formulation Methods, Toxicity, and Food Applications. Foods 2023; 12:3898. [PMID: 37959017 PMCID: PMC10649166 DOI: 10.3390/foods12213898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Minerals play an important role in maintaining human health as the deficiency of these minerals can lead to serious health issues. To address these deficiencies, current research efforts are actively investigating the utilization of protein-mineral complexes as eco-friendly, non-hazardous, suitable mineral fortifiers, characterized by minimal toxicity, for incorporation into food products. Thus, we reviewed the current challenges in incorporating the cereal-legume protein-inorganic minerals complexes' structure, binding properties, and toxicity during fortification on human health. Moreover, we further reviewed the development of protein-mineral complexes, characterization, and their food applications. The use of inorganic minerals has been associated with several toxic effects, leading to tissue-level toxicity. Cereal- and legume-based protein-mineral complexes effectively reduced the toxicity, improved bone mineral density, and has antioxidant properties. The characterization techniques provided a better understanding of the binding efficiency of cereal- and legume-based protein-mineral complexes. Overall, understanding the mechanism and binding efficiency underlying protein-mineral complex formation provided a novel insight into the design of therapeutic strategies for mineral-related diseases with minimal toxicity.

Abstract
Seafoods are rich in untapped bioactive compounds that have the potential to provide novel ingredients for the development of commercial functional foods and pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately, a large portion of waste or discards is generated in commercial processing setups (50-80%), which is wasted or underutilized. These by-products are a rich source of novel and valuable biomolecules, including bioactive peptides, collagen and gelatin, oligosaccharides, fatty acids, enzymes, calcium, water-soluble minerals, vitamins, carotenoids, chitin, chitosan and biopolymers. These fish components may be used in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, environmental, biomedical and other industries. Furthermore, they provide a viable source for the production of biofuels. As a result, the current review emphasizes the importance of effective by-product and discard reduction techniques that can provide practical and profitable solutions. Recognizing this, many initiatives have been initiated to effectively use them and generate income for the long-term sustainability of the environment and economic framework of the processing industry. This comprehensive review summarizes the current state of the art in the sustainable valorisation of seafood by-products for human consumption. The review can generate a better understanding of the techniques for seafood waste valorisation to accelerate the sector while providing significant benefits.

Abstract
Metal chelation can provide structural stability and form reactive centers in metalloproteins. Approximately one third of known protein structures are metalloproteins, and metal binding, or the lack thereof, is often implicated in disease, making it necessary to be able to study these systems in detail. Peptide-metal complexes are both present in nature and can provide a means to focus on the binding region of a protein and control experimental variables to a high degree. Structural studies of peptide complexes with metal ions by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were surveyed for all the essential metal complexes and many non-essential metal complexes. The various methods used to study each metal ion are presented together with examples of recent research. Many of these metal systems have been individually reviewed and this current overview of NMR studies of metallopeptide complexes aims to provide a basis for inspiration from structural studies and methodology applied in the field.

Bioactive Peptides from Skipjack Tuna Cardiac Arterial Bulbs: Preparation, Identification, Antioxidant Activity, and Stability against Thermal, pH, and Simulated Gastrointestinal Digestion Treatments. Mar Drugs 2022; 20:md20100626.

Abstract
Cardiac arterial bulbs of Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) are rich in elastin, and its hydrolysates are high quality raw materials for daily cosmetics. In order to effectively utilizing Skipjack tuna processing byproducts-cardiac arterial bulbs and to prepare peptides with high antioxidant activity, pepsin was selected from six proteases for hydrolyzing proteins, and the best hydrolysis conditions of pepsin were optimized. Using ultrafiltration and chromatographic methods, eleven antioxidant peptides were purified from protein hydrolysate of tuna cardiac arterial bulbs. Four tripeptides (QGD, PKK, GPQ and GLN) were identified as well as seven pentapeptides (GEQSN, GEEGD, YEGGD, GEGER, GEGQR, GPGLM and GDRGD). Three out of them, namely the tripeptide PKK and the pentapeptides YEGGD and GPGLM exhibited the highest radical scavenging activities on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl, 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and superoxide anion assays. They also showed to protect plasmid DNA and HepG2 cells against H2O2-induced oxidative stress. Furthermore, they exhibited high stability under temperature ranged from 20-100 °C, pH values ranged from 3-11, and they simulated gastrointestinal digestion for 240 min. These results suggest that the prepared eleven antioxidant peptides from cardiac arterial bulbs, especially the three peptides PKK, YEGGD, and GPGLM, could serve as promising candidates in health-promoting products due to their high antioxidant activity and their stability.

Abstract
Calcium is one of the most important mineral elements in the human body and is closely related to the maintenance of human health. To prevent calcium deficiency, various calcium supplements have been developed, but their application tends to be limited by low calcium content and highly irritating effects on the stomach, among other side effects. Recently, calcium–peptide chelates, which have excellent stability and are easily absorbed, have received attention as an alternative emerging calcium supplement. Calcium-binding peptides (CaBP) are usually obtained via the hydrolysis of animal or plant proteins, and calcium-binding capacity (CaBC) can be further improved through chromatographic purification techniques. In calcium ions, the phosphate group, carboxylic group and nitrogen atom in the peptide are the main binding sites, and the four modes of combination are the unidentate mode, bidentate mode, bridging mode and α mode. The stability and safety of calcium–peptide chelates are discussed in this paper, the intestinal absorption pathways of calcium elements and peptides are described, and the bioavailability of calcium–peptide chelates, both in vitro and in vivo, is also introduced. This review of the research status of calcium–peptide chelates aims to provide a reasonable theoretical basis for their application as calcium supplementation products.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate anemia treatment and other potential effects of two food-derived bioactive oligopeptide iron complexes on pregnant rats with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and their offspring. Rats with IDA were established with a low iron diet and then mated. There were one control group and seven randomly assigned groups of pregnant rats with IDA: Control group [Control, 40 ppm ferrous sulfate (FeSO4)]; IDA model group (ID, 4 ppm FeSO4), three high-iron groups (H-FeSO4, 400 ppm FeSO4; MCOP-Fe, 400 ppm marine fish oligopeptide iron complex; WCOP-Fe, 400 ppm whey protein oligopeptide iron complex) and three low-iron groups (L-FeSO4, 40 ppm FeSO4; MOP-Fe, 40 ppm marine fish oligopeptide iron complex; WOP-Fe, 40 ppm whey protein oligopeptide iron complex). Rats in each group were fed the corresponding special diet during pregnancy until the day of delivery. After different doses of iron supplement, serum hemoglobin, iron, and ferritin levels in rats with IDA were significantly increased to normal levels (P < 0.05). Serum iron levels were significantly lower in two food-derived bioactive oligopeptide low-iron complex groups than in the low FeSO4 group (P<0.05). Liver malondialdehyde levels were significantly increased in the three high-iron groups compared with the other five groups (P < 0.05), and hemosiderin deposition was observed in liver tissue, indicating that the iron dose was overloaded and aggravated the peroxidative damage in pregnant rats. Liver inflammation was reduced in the three low-iron groups. Tumor necrosis factor α secretion was significantly decreased in all groups with supplemented oligopeptide (P < 0.05), with the concentration of tumor necrosis factor α declining to normal levels in the two whey protein oligopeptide iron complex groups. In the marine fish oligopeptide iron complex groups, body length, tail length, and weight of offspring were significantly increased (P < 0.05) and reached normal levels. Therefore, food-derived bioactive oligopeptide (derived from marine fish skin and milk) iron complexes may be an effective type of iron supplement for pregnancy to improve anemia, as well as reduce the side effects of iron overload, and improve the growth and nutritional status of offspring.

Abstract
Lactoferrin (LF) is a naturally present iron-binding globulin with the structural properties of an N-lobe strongly positively charged terminus and a cage-like structure of nano self-assembly encapsulation. These unique structural properties give it potential for development in the fields of electrostatic spinning, targeted delivery systems, and the gut-brain axis. This review will provide an overview of LF's unique structure, encapsulation, and targeted transport capabilities, as well as its applications in immunity and gut microbiota regulation. First, the microstructure of LF is summarized and compared with its homologous ferritin, revealing both structural and functional similarities and differences between them. Second, the electrostatic interactions of LF and its application in electrostatic spinning are summarized. Its positive charge properties can be applied to functional environmental protection packaging materials and to improving drug stability and antiviral effects, while electrostatic spinning can promote bone regeneration and anti-inflammatory effects. Then the nano self-assembly behavior of LF is exploited as a cage-like protein to encapsulate bioactive substances to construct functional targeted delivery systems for applications such as contrast agents, antibacterial dressings, anti-cancer therapy, and gene delivery. In addition, some covalent and noncovalent interactions of LF in the Maillard reaction and protein interactions and other topics are briefly discussed. Finally, LF may affect immunological function via controlling the gut microbiota. In conclusion, this paper reviews the research advances of LF in electrostatic spinning, nano self-assembly, and immune and gut microbiota regulation, aiming to provide a reference for its application in the food and pharmaceutical fields.
