J Anim Physiol Anim Nutr (Berl) 2024; 108:1072-1082. [PMID: 38528677 DOI: 10.1111/jpn.13952] [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: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of fermented tofu processing wastewater (FTPW) on the growth performance and meat quality of Xianghuang broilers. A total of 160 six-week-old Xianghuang broilers were randomly assigned to control or FTPW groups with eight replicate pens of 10 birds each pen. Broilers received the same corn-soybean diet but different water. Broilers received ordinary water in the control group and 40% (volume: volume) FTPW (the solution has been filtered with four layers of sieve, containing Bacillus 1.52 × 10-7 CFU/mL) in FTPW group. The experiment lasted for 30 days. Results indicated that growth performance was not affected by treatment (p > 0.05). The value of pH45 min and a48 h increased and drip loss72 h and toughness decreased in breast muscle when broilers received FTPW solution compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The pH45 min, a45 min, a48 h value and crude fat concentration of thigh muscle were higher in FTPW group than that in control group (p < 0.05). Compared with control group, fibre area decreased but fibre density increased in thigh muscle when Xianghuang chickens supplemented with FTPW solution (p < 0.05). Supplementation of FTPW solution in drinking water significantly decreased malondialdehyde content in the breast muscle of Xianghuang chickens (p < 0.05). Gene expressions such as carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1) and glycogen synthase of breast muscle were downregulated in experimental group when compared with control group. In conclusion, FTPW supplementation in drinking water could improve meat quality of Xianghuang broilers by regulating pH value, redness and fibre morphology.

Abstract
Food safety concerns about the authenticity of soy product freshness have increased due to high demand from public. Developing an accurate and convenient monitoring method for freshness authenticity is crucial for safeguarding food safety. From this motive, this study employed PtPd NPs to encapsulate tetraphenylethylene (TPE) for engineering an AIE-based fluorescent nanozyme (PtPd NPs@TPE) with oxidase-like activity, achieving the ratiometric fluorescence monitoring of putrescine (PUT) to judge the freshness authenticity of soy products. In this design, PUT acted as an antioxidant and inhibited the oxidation process of PtPd NPs@TPE to o-phenylenediamine (OPD), leading to the reduction of oxidative product 2,3-diaminophenothiazine (DAP) alone with the weaken of yellow fluorescence from DAP at 552 nm and bright of bule fluorescence from PtPd NPs@TPE at 442 nm. On this basis, a ratiometric fluorescence strategy integrated with smartphone-based sensor was developed for PUT with acceptable results to combat food freshness fraud of soy products.

Abstract
Consumer demand for plant cheeses is increasing, but challenges of improving both flavor and quality remain. This study investigated the microbiological and physicochemical impact of seed germination and fermentation with Bacillus velezensis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on the ripening of plant cheese analogs. Chlorine treatment or addition of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactococcus lactis controlled microbial growth during seed germination. Lp. plantarum and Lc. lactis also served as starter cultures for the acidification of soy and lupine milk and were subsequently present in the unripened plant cheese as dominant microbes. Acidification also inhibited the growth and metabolic activity of bacilli but Bacillus spores remained viable throughout ripening. During plant cheese ripening, Lc. lactis was inactivated before Lp. plantarum and the presence of bacilli during seed germination delayed Lc. lactis inactivation. Metagenomic sequencing of full-length 16S rRNA gene amplicons confirmed that the relative abundance of the inoculated strains in each ripened cheese sample exceeded 99%. Oligosaccharides including raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose were rapidly depleted in the initial stage of ripening. Both germination and the presence of bacilli during seed germination had impact on polysaccharide hydrolysis during ripening. Bacilli but not seed germination enhanced proteolysis of plant cheese during ripening. In conclusion, the use of germination with lactic acid bacteria in combination with Bacillus spp. exhibited the potential to improve the quality of ripened plant cheeses with a positive effect on the reduction of hygienic risks. IMPORTANCE The development of novel plant-based fermented food products for which no traditional templates exist requires the development of starter cultures. Although the principles of microbial flavor formation in plant-based analogs partially overlap with dairy fermentations, the composition of the raw materials and thus likely the selective pressure on the activity of starter cultures differs. Experiments that are described in this study explored the use of seed germination, the use of lactic acid bacteria, and the use of bacilli to reduce hygienic risks, to acidify plant milk, and to generate taste-active compounds through proteolysis and fermentative conversion of carbohydrates. The characterization of fermentation microbiota by culture-dependent and culture-independent methods also confirmed that the starter cultures used were able to control microbial communities throughout 90 d of ripening. Taken together, the results provide novel tools for the development of plant-based analogs of fermented dairy products.

Abstract
In the actual production process of soy protein isolate (SPI), most of the homogeneous operating pressure is controlled below 20 MPa due to the consideration of production safety and the limitation of the pressure control capability of homogeneous equipment. In order to improve the functional properties of SPI and adapt it to actual production, the effects of different homogeneous pressures (4, 8, 10, 12, and 14 MPa) on the structure and gel properties of SPI were studied from the perspective of production control. Compared to the control group, the modified SPI improved the hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and water holding capacity (WHC) of the protein gel (p < 0.05). Rheological analysis shows that both G' and G″ increase with increasing frequency, reaching a maximum at 12 MPa. The gel intermolecular force results show that the disulfide bond, hydrophobic interaction, and non-disulfide bond are important molecular forces for gel formation. The particle size distribution uniformity of modified SPI was high, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that the protein gel with a continuous uniform and dense network structure could be formed by high-pressure homogeneous modification. Overall, high-pressure homogenization technology has the potential to improve SPI gel structure and WHC, and 12 MPa modified SPI gel has the most significant effect.

Lee GY, Jung MJ, Kim BM, Jun JY. Effects of Sodium Alginate on the Physical Properties and Storage Stability of Freeze-Dried Tofu Coagulated with Crab Shell Extract. Foods 2023; 13:74.

Abstract
The amount of processed by-products such as crab shells is increasing, but industrial utilization is insufficient. In our previous study, crab shell extract (CSE) acted as a coagulant for tofu manufacturing. This study aimed to reduce freeze-dried (FD) tofu breakdown by improving its physical properties through adding sodium alginate (SA). FD state in tofu helps increase storage and availability, but FD tofu frequently fractures during processing, which is a concern for manufacturers. Tofu samples were prepared with either crab shell extract (CSE) or MgCl2, and SA, and freeze-dried. In the yields of FD tofu samples, there were no significant differences (p < 0.05). The brokenness of FD tofu samples was lower in CSE than in MgCl2 and was significantly reduced by SA in both tofu samples, which was affected by hardness. The water-holding capacity decreased after freeze-drying, and CSE reduced this decrease, regardless of SA addition. The microstructures differed depending on the coagulant and were dense upon SA addition. The FD tofu was packed into a multilayer film and stored at 25 °C or 45 °C for 6 months to investigate storage stability. During the storage, brokenness was unchanged in all tofu samples, indicating that they maintained their original structure. There were no significant differences in the volatile base nitrogen and thiobarbituric acid values according to the coagulant type and SA addition (p < 0.05). In conclusion, SA reduced FD tofu breakdown by improving the network structure, which may help increase FD tofu quality and decrease economic loss.

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of protein structure and food microstructure on the in vitro protein gastrointestinal digestibility of different soy-based products, such as soy drink, reconstituted soy drink powder, firm tofu, and yuba. The results of the chemical cross-linking analysis showed that hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions were the main forces driving protein aggregation in (reconstituted) soy drink powder and firm tofu, whereas disulphide bonds were significantly more important for soy drink and yuba. The β-sheet content of soy drink (36.5%) was lower than that of yuba (43.3%), but significantly higher than those of soy drink powder (23.2%) and firm tofu (29.8%). The in vitro protein digestibility decreased in the order of firm tofu > reconstituted soy drink powder > yuba > soy drink. Principal component analysis showed that protein gastrointestinal digestibility was positively correlated with the surface SH content and soluble protein content released by SDS + urea (SB-SA) but negatively correlated with the disulphide bonds and β-sheet content for the four soybean products.

Abstract
Fermented foods and beverages are increasingly being included in the diets of people around the world, as they significantly contribute to flavor and interest in nutrition and food consumption. Plant sources, like cereals and pulses, are employed to produce vegan fermented foods that are either commercially available or the subject of ongoing scientific investigation. In addition, the inclination towards nutritionally healthy, natural, and clean-label products amongst consumers has encouraged the development of vegan fermented products alternative to animal-based products for industrial-scale production. However, as the vegan diet is more restrictive than the vegetarian diet, manufacturing food products for vegans presents a significant problem due to the limited availability of many raw materials. So further research is required on this topic. This paper aims to review the formulation, quality, microbial resources, health benefits, and safety of foods that can be categorised as vegan fermented foods and beverages.

Abstract
Okara, the solid byproduct of soymilk production, poses a sustainability concern, despite being rich in fiber and other healthful compounds. In this study, the physical properties of tofu made from soymilk fortified with differing levels of okara-either whole or fine (<180 µm)-and made with the traditional coagulant nigari were examined. The yield increased linearly with the okara concentration with values of 18.2-29.5% compared to 14.5% for the control. The initial moisture in the fortified samples was higher than the control (79.69-82.78% versus 76.78%), and both the expressible moisture and total moisture after compression were also greater in the fortified samples. With a few exceptions, the texture parameters did not differ between samples. Dynamic rheology showed that all samples had G' > G″. The storage moduli increased at different rates during each gelling step, with G' before and after gelling increasing with the fortification level, and was greater for the samples with fine particles than with whole particles. Consumer sensory panels using the hedonic scale showed traditional tofu had a slightly higher acceptability, but the panelists indicated they would be more willing to purchase okara-fortified tofu because of the health and sustainability benefits it might have. Thus, tofu could be produced with added okara with predictable but not profound changes in its physical properties.

Abstract
The structural, functional properties of protein isolated from small-seeded soybeans were investigated and characteristics of tofu were studied. Small-seeded soybean protein had obvious α', α, β, acidic and basic subunits bands and two endothermic peaks (76.02-76.63℃ and 91.94-94.25℃). Small-seeded black soybean protein isolates (SBSPI) had more β-sheet (31.90-33.54%) structure, while small-seeded yellow soybean protein isolates (SYSPI) had more α-helix (18.89-20.72%) structure. SYSPI had higher fluorescence intensity (839.10-847.80) than SBSPI (482.70-565.10). SBSPI exhibited higher surface hydrophobicity (939.51-1252.75) and water absorption capacity (8.07-8.50 g/g). Tofu made from small-seeded yellow soybeans had higher yield (549.46-560.23 g/100 g soybean) and was brighter (L*, 74.61-77.48) and more yellowish (b*, 14.83-14.95) in color. Tofu made from Fugu small-seeded black soybean (FGSBS) had the highest hardness (178.52 g), adhesiveness (-25.77 g.sec), chewiness (87.45 g) and resilience (0.26), signifying a more compact structure.

Abstract
Soybeans are rich in proteins and phytochemicals such as isoflavones and phenolic compounds. It is an excellent source of peptides with numerous biological functions, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antidiabetic activities. Soy bioactive peptides are small building blocks of proteins that are released after fermentation or gastrointestinal digestion as well as by food processing through enzymatic hydrolysis, often in combination with novel food processing techniques (i.e., microwave, ultrasound, and high-pressure homogenization), which are associated with numerous health benefits. Various studies have reported the potential health benefits of soybean-derived functional peptides, which have made them a great substitute for many chemical-based functional elements in foods and pharmaceutical products for a healthy lifestyle. This review provides unprecedented and up-to-date insights into the role of soybean peptides in various diseases and metabolic disorders, ranging from diabetes and hypertension to neurodegenerative disorders and viral infections with mechanisms were discussed. In addition, we discuss all the known techniques, including conventional and emerging approaches, for the prediction of active soybean peptides. Finally, real-life applications of soybean peptides as functional entities in food and pharmaceutical products are discussed.

Abstract
Problems with silver carp protein (SCP) include a strong fishy odor, low gel strength of SCP surimi, and susceptibility to gel degradation. The objective of this study was to improve the gel quality of SCP. The effects of the addition of native soy protein isolate (SPI) and SPI subjected to papain-restricted hydrolysis on the gel characteristics and structural features of SCP were studied. The β-sheet structures in SPI increased after papain treatment. SPI treated with papain was crosslinked with SCP using glutamine transaminase (TG) to form a composite gel. Compared with the control, the addition of modified SPI increased the hardness, springiness, chewiness, cohesiveness, and water-holding capacity (WHC) of the protein gel (p < 0.05). In particular, the effects were most significant when the degree of SPI hydrolysis (DH) was 0.5% (i.e., gel sample M-2). The molecular force results demonstrated that hydrogen bonding, disulfide bonding, and hydrophobic association are important molecular forces in gel formation. The addition of the modified SPI increases the number of hydrogen bonds and the disulfide bonds. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that the papain modifications allowed the formation of a composite gel with a complex, continuous, and uniform gel structure. However, the control of the DH is important as additional enzymatic hydrolysis of SPI decreased TG crosslinking. Overall, modified SPI has the potential to improve SCP gel texture and WHC.

Abstract
Every year, all over the world, the industry generates huge amounts of residues. Side-streams are most often used as feed, landfilled, incinerated, or discharged into sewage. These disposal methods are far from perfect. Taking into account the composition of the side-streams, it seems that they should be used as raw materials for further processing, in accordance with the zero-waste policy and sustainable development. The article describes the latest achievements in biotechnology in the context of bacterial reprocessing of residues with the simultaneous acquisition of their metabolites. The article focuses on four metabolites - bacterial cellulose, propionic acid, vitamin B12 and PHAs. Taking into account global trends (e.g. food, packaging, medicine), it seems that in the near future there will be a sharp increase in demand for this type of compounds. In order for their production to be profitable and commercialised, cheap methods of its obtaining must be developed. The article, in addition to obtaining these bacterial metabolites from side-streams, also discusses e.g. factors affecting their production, metabolic pathways and potential and current applications. The presented chapters provide a complete overview of the current knowledge on above metabolites, which can be helpful for the academic and scientific communities and the several industries. KEY POINTS: • The industry generates millions of tons of organic side-streams each year. • Generated residues burden the natural environment. • A good and cost-effective method of side-streams management seems to be biotechnology - reprocessing with the use of bacteria. • Biotechnological disposal of side-streams gives the opportunity to obtain valuable compounds in cheaper ways: BC, PA, vitmain B12, PHAs.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to develop tofu with soybean-water soluble extract coagulated with cardoon flower (F1) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2, F2). The produced tofu was characterized in terms of physical, chemical, microbiological, and sensory properties during 14 days of storage. The yield of F1 was higher (p < 0.05) (195 g/100 soybean seeds) than F2 (162 g/100 soybean seeds). F1 presented higher moisture, protein, acidity, syneresis, and lipids when compared with F2, and a reduction of these contents during the storage. F1 presented lower hardness, stickiness, springiness, and cohesiveness compared with F2. The acceptability of F1 showed a score of 6.00 and F2 of 4.68, and the purchase intention was 3.22 for F1 and 2.23 for F2. This study recommended the use of cardoon flower at 35% level as it has great potential as a coagulant for the elaboration of tofu with higher yield, and acceptability and reasonable purchasing intention.

Effect of Salt Concentration on Flavor Characteristics and Physicochemical Quality of Pickled Brassica napus. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2023.

Abstract
This study aimed to elaborate on the role of salt concentration on pickled Brassica napus leaf and stem (BLS); it also contributed to the development of low-salt and healthy Brassica napus products in the harvest period. Five sets of pickled BLS samples were prepared, and the physicochemical parameters, free amino acids (FAAs), and the volatile flavor components (VFCs) were analyzed after fermentation. Results showed that some antioxidants, FAAs, and VFCs underwent dynamic changes during fermentation. Nitrite increased with an increase in the salt concentration used for fermentation. Pickled BLS contained a wide range of FAAs; a total of 23 were detected, which might be used as a source of amino acid supplementation. The VFCs were analyzed via headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 51 VFCs were tentatively identified. The contribution to flavor could be expressed by the relative odor activity value (ROAV). Salt is one of the important factors affecting the quality of vegetable fermentation. Therefore, for large-scale pickled BLS production, a key issue is to balance the low salt concentration and high fermentation quality. Under the action of salt and microorganisms, the fresh BLS fermented via dry pickling, which not only improved its FAAs and VFCs, endowed the production with a unique flavor, but also prolonged the shelf life.

Abstract
In this study, the protein bioaccessibility of soymilk gels produced by the addition of glu-cono-δ-lactone (GDL) and fermentation with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) was examined using an in vitro gastrointestinal simulated digestion model. The in vitro protein digestibility, soluble protein content, free amino acids contents, degree of hydrolysis, electrophoretic patterns, and peptide content were measured. The results suggested that acid-induced soymilk gel generated by GDL (SG) showed considerably reduced in vitro protein digestibility of 75.33 ± 1.00% compared to the soymilk gel induced by LAB (SL) of 80.57 ± 1.53% (p < 0.05). During the gastric digestion stage, dramatically higher (p < 0.05) soluble protein contents were observed in the SG (4.79−5.05 mg/mL) than that of SL (4.31−4.35 mg/mL). However, during the later intestinal digestion phase, the results were the opposite. At the end of the gastrointestinal digestion phase, the content of small peptides was not significantly different (p > 0.05) between the SL (2.15 ± 0.03 mg/mL) and SG (2.17 ± 0.01 mg/mL), but SL showed higher content of free amino acids (20.637 g/L) than that of SG (19.851 g/L). In general, soymilk gel induced by LAB had a higher protein bioaccessibility than the soymilk gel coagulated by GDL.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of transglutaminase (TGase) pre-crosslinking treatment on the physicochemical and digestive characteristics of tofu coagulated by glucono-δ-lactone (GDL). Results showed that certain TGase pre-crosslinking times (0.5, 1, 2 and 3 h) could promote the colloidal stability of soymilk with increased particle average sizes and absolute values of zeta potential. Particularly, the water holding capacity and gel strength of tofu pre-crosslinked by TGase for 2 h were 6.8% and 47.7% enhancement, respectively, compared to the control, and exhibited the highest score of overall acceptability. However, extensive pre-crosslinking by TGase for 3 h had an adverse impact on the sensory of tofu with poor firmness, rough structure and whey separation. Hence, the tofu gel pre-crosslinked by TGase for 2 h and then coagulated by GDL was recommended which showed a "slow release" mode of soluble proteins during the in vitro digestion phase, and had more chances to release bioactive peptides than soymilk.

Abstract
Considering that a series of complex issues such as environmental problems, sustainable development, animal welfare, and human health are on a global scale, the development of vegetable protein-based meat substitutes provides a potential solution to the disparity between meat consumption demand and supply. The research and development of vegetable protein-based meat substitutes have become a major commercial activity, and the market is expanding to meet the growing consumer demand. Soy protein isolates (SPI) are often used as a raw material for vegetable meat substitutes because of their potential to form fiber structures. Although significant initial success has been achieved, it is still a challenge to explain how the composition and aggregation of SPI influence gel properties and the mechanism(s) involved. This article reviews the latest research about SPI. The relationship between the composition, aggregation, and gelation properties of SPI is based on a through literature search. It focused on the application of SPI in heat- and cold-induced gels, given the diversified market demands. The research on cold gel has helped expand the market. The methods to improve the properties of SPI gels, including physical, chemical, and biological properties, are reviewed to provide insights on its role in the properties of SPI gels. To achieve environmentally friendly and efficient ways for the food industry to use SPI gel properties, the research prospects and development trends of the gel properties of SPI are summarized. New developments and practical applications in the production technology, such as for ultrasound, microwave and high pressure, are reviewed. The potential and challenges for practical applications of cold plasma technology for SPI gel properties are also discussed. There is a need to transfer the laboratory technology to actual food production efficiently and safely.

Abstract
Research into dairy-free alternative products, whether plant-based or cell-based, is growing fast and the food industry is facing a new challenge of creating innovative, nutritious, accessible, and natural dairy-free cheese alternatives. The market demand for these products is continuing to increase owing to more people choosing to reduce or eliminate meat and dairy products from their diet for health, environmental sustainability, and/or ethical reasons. This review investigates the current status of dairy product alternatives. Legume proteins have good technological properties and are cheap, which gives them a strong commercial potential to be used in plant-based cheese-like products. However, few legume proteins have been explored in the formulation, development, and manufacture of a fully dairy-free cheese because of their undesirable properties: heat stable anti-nutritional factors and a beany flavor. These can be alleviated by novel or traditional and economical techniques. The improvement and diversification of the formulation of legume-based cheese alternatives is strongly suggested as a low-cost step towards more sustainable food chains. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
Owing to their promising application prospects, water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions have aroused continuous attention in recent years. However, long-term stability of W/O emulsions remains a particularly challenging problem in colloid science. With the increasing demand of consumers for natural, green, and healthy foods, the heavy reliance on chemically synthesized surfactants to achieve long-term stability has become the key technical defect restricting the application of W/O emulsions in food. To design and manufacture W/O emulsions with long-term stability and clean label, a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of the W/O emulsion system is required. This review aims to demystify the field of W/O emulsions and update its current research progress. We first provide a summary on the essential basic knowledge regarding the instability mechanisms, including physical and chemical instability in W/O emulsions. Then, the formulation of the W/O emulsion system is introduced, particularly focusing on the use of natural stabilizers. Besides, the characterization and application of W/O emulsions are also discussed. Finally, we propose promising research trends, including (1) developing W/O high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) as fat mimetic and substitute, (2) promising formulation routine for long-term stable double emulsions, and (3) searching for novel plant-derived stabilizers of W/O emulsions.

Abstract
Tofu, one of the most important products made from soymilk, is obtained through a coagulation process performed with various coagulants (acids, salts and, enzymes). In this study, innovative tofu samples were produced using the grape pomace (GP) powders of different varieties (Barbera, Chardonnay, Moscato, and Pinot Noir) with different origins (fermented and distilled) at two concentration levels (2.5% and 5% w/v) as coagulants, and comparisons with traditional tofu were made. Physicochemical characteristics, phenolic contents, radical scavenging activity levels, textural properties, and consumer acceptability were evaluated. The moisture, protein content, and pH levels of GP tofu samples were slightly lower than those of traditional tofu. Regarding textural parameters, except for hardness, all other parameters were significantly lower in GP tofu samples, with differences due to GP concentration. The colours of GP tofu varied from amber-yellow to violet according to the GP origin. The blue-violet colours were observed predominantly in tofu samples obtained with Barbera and Pinot Noir GPs, while the other GP tofu samples showed amber-yellow colours. The concentrations of polyphenols were 2–10 times higher than in traditional tofu, while the radical scavenging activity levels were 9–80 times higher. The GP tofu samples were favoured by consumers, with small differences among the GP varieties.

Abstract
Peptides present in foods are involved in nutritional functions by supplying amino acids; sensory functions related to taste or solubility, emulsification, etc.; and bioregulatory functions in various physiological activities. In particular, peptides have a wide range of physiological functions, including as anticancer agents and in lowering blood pressure and serum cholesterol levels, enhancing immunity, and promoting calcium absorption. Soy protein can be partially hydrolyzed enzymatically to physiologically active soy (or soybean) peptides (SPs), which not only exert physiological functions but also help amino acid absorption in the body and reduce bitterness by hydrolyzing hydrophobic amino acids from the C- or N-terminus of soy proteins. They also possess significant gel-forming, emulsifying, and foaming abilities. SPs are expected to be able to prevent and treat atherosclerosis by inhibiting the reabsorption of bile acids in the digestive system, thereby reducing blood cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and fat levels. In addition, soy contains blood pressure-lowering peptides that inhibit angiotensin-I converting enzyme activity and antithrombotic peptides that inhibit platelet aggregation, as well as anticancer, antioxidative, antimicrobial, immunoregulatory, opiate-like, hypocholesterolemic, and antihypertensive activities. In animal models, neuroprotective and cognitive capacity as well as cardiovascular activity have been reported. SPs also inhibit chronic kidney disease and tumor cell growth by regulating the expression of genes associated with apoptosis, inflammation, cell cycle arrest, invasion, and metastasis. Recently, various functions of soybeans, including their physiologically active functions, have been applied to health-oriented foods, functional foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. This review introduces some current results on the role of bioactive peptides found in soybeans related to health functions.

Abstract
Tofu has a long history of use and is rich in high-quality plant protein; however, its production process is relatively complicated. The tofu production process includes soybean pretreatment, soaking, grinding, boiling, pulping, pressing, and packing. Every step in this process has an impact on the soy protein and, ultimately, affects the quality of the tofu. Furthermore, soy protein gel is the basis for the formation of soy curd. This review summarizes the series of changes in the composition and structure of soy protein that occur during the processing of tofu (specifically, during the pressing, preservation, and packaging steps) and the effects of soybean varieties, storage conditions, soybean milk pretreatment, and coagulant types on the structure of soybean protein and the quality of tofu. Finally, we highlight the advantages and limitations of current research and provide directions for future research in tofu production. This review is aimed at providing a reference for research into and improvement of the production of tofu.

J Texture Stud 2021; 52:492-500. [PMID: 34101194 DOI: 10.1111/jtxs.12614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
The influence of high-temperature treatment (100-120°C, 15 min) on the texture, color, and water-holding capacity of tofu gels was investigated. As the temperature increasing, the hardness and chewiness as well as the values of redness a and yellowness b increased gradually, while the water content and the lightness L value reduced progressively, and these variations were more pronounced at 115 or 120°C. Low field nuclear magnetic resonance showed that the loss of T22 water led to the decrease of the water content. Scanning electron microscope revealed that the micropore in gels decreased after heating, and almost entirely disappeared at 120°C. Further analysis by SDS-PAGE indicated the soy protein aggregation formed via disulfide linkage was observed in the thermal treated tofu gels, and nondisulfide linkage might also be occurred as temperature reached 110°C or higher. The quality deterioration may be attributed to immobilized water loss combined with the protein aggregation.
