Abstract
Studies regarding spray drying microencapsulation are aplenty available; especially focusing on processing parameters, microparticle characteristics and encapsulation efficiency. Hence, there is a rising interest in tailoring wall materials aiming to improve the process's effectiveness. Reflecting a market trend in the food industry, plant-based proteins are emerging as alternative protein sources, and their application adaptability is an increasing research of interest related to consumers' demand for healthy food, product innovation, and sustainability. This review presents a perspective on the investigation of potato protein as a technological ingredient, considering it a nonconventional source obtained as by-product from starch industry. Furthermore, this piece emphasizes the potential application of potato protein as wall material in spray drying encapsulation, considering that this purpose is still limited for this ingredient. The literature reports that vegetal-based proteins might present compromised functionality due to processing conditions, impairing its technological application. Structural modification can offer a potential approach to modify potato protein configuration aiming to improve its utilization. Studies reported that modified proteins can perform as better emulsifiers and antioxidant agents compared to intact proteins. Hence, it is expected that their use in microencapsulation would improve process efficiency and protection of the core material, consequently delivering superior encapsulation performance.

Measuring the oral bioavailability of protein hydrolysates derived from food sources: A critical review of current bioassays. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 144:112275. [PMID: 34628165 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.112275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Food proteins are a source of hydrolysates with potentially useful biological attributes. Bioactive peptides from food-derived proteins are released from hydrolysates using exogenous industrial processes or endogenous intestinal enzymes. Current in vitro permeability assays have limitations in predicting the oral bioavailability (BA) of bioactive peptides in humans. There are also difficulties in relating the low blood levels of food-derived bioactive peptides detected in preclinical in vivo models to pharmacodynamic read-outs relevant for humans. SCOPE AND APPROACH In this review, we describe in vitro assays of digestion, permeation, and metabolism as indirect predictors of the potential oral BA of hydrolysates and their constituent bioactive peptides. We discuss the relationship between industrial hydrolysis processes and the oral BA of hydrolysates and their peptide by-products. KEY FINDINGS Hydrolysates are challenging for analytical detection methods due to capacity for enzymatic generation of peptides with novel sequences and also new modifications of these peptides during digestion. Mass spectrometry and peptidomics can improve the capacity to detect individual peptides released from complex hydrolysates in biological milieu.

Abstract
The results of recently published studies indicate that potato juice is characterized by interesting biological activity that can be particularly useful in the case of gastrointestinal symptoms. Moreover, the studies also described the high nutritional value of its proteins. This article is a report on the impact of the enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins combined with membrane filtration. The obtained potato juice protein hydrolysate (PJPH) and its concentrate (cPJPH) were characterized in terms of their nutritional value and biological activity. The amino acid profile and scoring, the content of mineral compounds, and the antioxidant and in vitro cytotoxic activity were assessed. The study proved that the antioxidant activity of PJPH is higher than that of fresh potato juice, and the cytotoxicity against human gastric carcinoma cell line (Hs 746T), human colon cancer cell line (Caco-2), human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HT-29), and human normal colon mucosa cell line (CCD 841 CoN) showed biological activity specifically targeted against cancer cells. Therefore, it can be concluded that the membrane filtration-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis of potato juice proteins may increase their biological activity and allow for potato juice to be used in the production of medicinal preparations.

Abstract
Abstract
Food components possessing zinc ligands can be used to inhibit zinc-dependent enzymes. In this study, zinc-binding peptides were derived from whey protein hydrolysates, and their ultrafiltration (> 1 and < 1 kDa) fractions, produced with Esperase (WPH-Esp), Everlase and Savinase. Immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC-Zn2+) increased the zinc-binding capacity of the peptide fraction (83%) when compared to WPH-Esp (23%) and its < 1 kDa fraction (40%). The increased zinc-binding capacity of the sample increased the inhibitory activity against the zinc-dependent “a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17”. LC-MS/MS analysis using a shotgun peptidomics approach resulted in the identification of 24 peptides originating from bovine β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin, serum albumin, β-casein, κ-casein, osteopontin-k, and folate receptor-α in the fraction. The identified peptides contained different combinations of the strong zinc-binding group of residues, His+Cys, Asp+Glu and Phe+Tyr, although Cys residues were absent in the sequences. In silico predictions showed that the IMAC-Zn2+ peptides were non-toxins. However, the peptides possessed poor drug-like and pharmacokinetic properties; this was possibly due to their long chain lengths (5–19 residues). Taken together, this work provided an array of food peptide-based zinc ligands for further investigation of structure-function relationships and development of nutraceuticals against inflammatory and other zinc-related diseases.

Comprehensive identification of native medium-sized and short bioactive peptides in sea bass muscle. Food Chem 2020; 343:128443.

Abstract
Native peptides from sea bass muscle were analyzed by two different approaches: medium-sized peptides by peptidomics analysis, whereas short peptides by suspect screening analysis employing an inclusion list of exact m/z values of all possible amino acid combinations (from 2 up to 4). The method was also extended to common post-translational modifications potentially interesting in food analysis, as well as non-proteolytic aminoacyl derivatives, which are well-known taste-active building blocks in pseudo-peptides. The medium-sized peptides were identified by de novo and combination of de novo and spectra matching to a protein sequence database, with up to 4077 peptides (2725 modified) identified by database search and 2665 peptides (223 modified) identified by de novo only; 102 short peptide sequences were identified (with 12 modified ones), and most of them had multiple reported bioactivities. The method can be extended to any peptide mixture, either endogenous or by protein hydrolysis, from other food matrices.

A new opening for the tricky untargeted investigation of natural and modified short peptides. Talanta 2020; 219:121262.

Abstract
Short peptides are of extreme interest in clinical and food research fields, nevertheless they still represent a crucial analytical issue. The main aim of this paper was the development of an analytical platform for a considerable advancement in short peptides identification. For the first time, short sequences presenting both natural and post-translationally modified amino acids were comprehensively studied thanks to the generation of specific databases. Short peptide databases had a dual purpose. First, they were employed as inclusion lists for a suspect screening mass-spectrometric analysis, overcoming the limits of data dependent acquisition mode and allowing the fragmentation of such low-abundance substances. Moreover, the databases were implemented in Compound Discoverer 3.0, a software dedicated to the analysis of short molecules, for the creation of a data processing workflow specifically dedicated to short peptide tentative identification. For this purpose, a detailed study of short peptide fragmentation pathways was carried out for the first time. The proposed method was applied to the study of short peptide sequences in enriched urine samples and led to the tentative identification more than 200 short natural and modified short peptides, the highest number ever reported.

Abstract
There is increasing interest in the bioactivity of peptides carrying out antiproliferative, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticholesterolemic, opioid, and antidiabetic activities. The bioavailability of peptides depends on how readily they are digested by endopeptidases and their ability to pass through cell membranes, features that are determined by the peptide's chemical and physical structure. On the basis of structures present in peptides that have biological activity, particularly antiproliferative activity, the tripeptides AcGly-Phe-Asn(OH) and AcGly-Phe-Asn(NH2) have been designed and synthesized, then tested for their antiproliferative activity on human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MDA-MB 231) and human dermal fibroblasts (HuDe). The results show that the peptides significantly affect the proliferation of MDA-MB 231 and HuDe cells, with differentiated response between tumor and normal cells, and thus indicate that C-terminal amidation plays a role. Interestingly, the activity of both peptides in dermal fibroblasts follows the characteristic biphasic pattern of hormesis, a dose-response relationship.

Abstract
The application of proteomic and peptidomic technologies for food-derived bioactive peptides is an emerging field in food sciences. These technologies include the use of separation tools coupled to a high-resolution spectrometric and bioinformatic tools for prediction, identification, sequencing, and characterization of peptides. To a large extent, one-dimensional separation technologies have been extensively used as a continuous tool under different optimized conditions for the identification and analysis of food peptides. However, most one-dimensional separation technologies are fraught with significant bottlenecks such as insufficient sensitivity and specificity limits for complex samples. To address this limitation, separation systems based on orthogonal, multidimensional principles, which allow for the coupling of more than one analytical separation tool with different operational principles, provide a higher separation power than one-dimensional separation tools. This review describes the structure-informed separation and purification of protein hydrolyzates to obtain peptides with desirable bioactivities. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Application of bioactive peptides in the formulation of functional foods, nutraceuticals, and therapeutic agents have increasingly gained scholarly and industrial attention. The bioactive peptides exist originally in protein sources and are only active after hydrolysis of the parent protein. Currently, several tools can be configured in one-dimensional or multidimensional systems for the separation and purification of protein hydrolyzates. The separations are informed by the structural properties such as the molecular weight, charge, hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity, and the solubility of peptides. This review provides a concise discussion on the commonly used analytical tools, their configurations, advantages and challenges in peptide separation. Emphasis is placed on how the structural properties of peptides assist in the separation and purification processes and the concomitant effect of the separation on peptide bioactivity.
