Abstract
High-intensity ultrasonication is an emerging technology for plant protein isolation and modification. In this study, the potential of temperature-controlled ultrasonication to enhance the recovery of functional proteins from potato trimmings was assessed. Different ultrasound energy levels [2000-40,000 J/g fresh weight (FW)] were applied during protein extraction at pH 9.0. True protein yields after ultrasonication significantly increased (up to 91%) compared to conventional extraction (33%). Microstructural analysis of the extraction residues showed more disrupted cells as ultrasonication time increased. Ultrasound treatments (10,000 and 20,000 J/g FW) increased the protein yield without affecting the foaming and air-water interfacial properties of protein isolates obtained after isoelectric precipitation (pH 4.0). However, proteins obtained after extended ultrasonication (40,000 J/g FW) had significantly slower early-stage adsorption kinetics. This was attributed to ultrasound-induced aggregation of the protease inhibitor fraction. In conclusion, ultrasonication shows potential to help overcome some challenges associated with plant protein extraction.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of ultrasound (20-60 min, 40 kHz, 280 W) on the structural, physicochemical, and emulsifying properties of aquafaba extracted from various legumes (chickpea [CH], yellow soybean [YSB], black soybean [BSB], small black bean [SBB]). The hydrophobic amino acids and protein secondary structures (α-helix, random coil) significantly increased with sonication time (p < 0.05). The particle size of aquafaba was reduced by ultrasound (p < 0.05). A total of 27 volatile compounds were identified. Most volatiles increased with sonication time, and beany flavor was lowest in CH and SBB. The EAI, ESI, adsorbed proteins, and zeta-potential increased, while emulsion droplet size decreased in all legumes by ultrasound. The overall emulsifying properties were the highest in SBB sonicated for 40 min. This study discusses the applicability of ultrasound to aquafaba and provides insights into the functional properties and potential of aquafaba as a plant-based natural emulsifier.

Abstract
Plant-based proteins offer sustainable and nutritious alternatives to animal proteins with their techno-functional attributes influencing product quality and designer food development. Due to the inherent complexities of plant proteins, proper extraction and modifications are vital for their effective utilization. This review highlights the emerging sources of plant-based proteins, and the recent statistics of the techniques employed for pretreatment, extraction, and modifications. The pretreatment, extraction and modification approach to modify plant proteins have been classified, addressed, and the recent applications of such methodologies are duly indicated. Furthermore, this study furnishes novel perspectives regarding the potential impacts of emerging technologies on the intricate dynamics of plant proteins. A thorough review of 100 articles (2018-2024) shows the researchers' keen interest in investigating novel plant proteins and how they can be used; seeds being the main source for protein extraction, followed by legumes. Use of by-products as a protein source is increasing rapidly, which is noteworthy. Protein studies still lack knowledge on protein fraction, antinutrients, and pretreatments. The use of physical methods and their combination with other techniques are increasing for effective and environmentally friendly extraction and modification of plant proteins. Several studies explore the effect of protein changes on their function and nutrition, especially with a goal of replacing ingredients with plant proteins that have improved or enhanced qualities. However, the next step is to investigate the sophisticated modification methods for deeper insights into food safety and toxicity.

Abstract
Food allergies are a main public health disease in the world. Ultrasound is an environmentally friendly technology that typically leads to protein unfolding and loss of protein structure, which means it has the potential to be combined with other technologies to achieve a great reduction of allergenicity in foods. This review concludes the effects of the combined ultrasound with other technologies on food allergenicity from three combinations: ultrasound before other technologies, ultrasound under other technologies, and ultrasound after other technologies. Each combination affects food allergenicity through different mechanisms: (1) as for ultrasound before other technologies, ultrasound pretreatment can unfold and lose the protein structure to improve the accessibility of other technologies to epitopes; (2) as for ultrasound under other technologies, ultrasound can continuously affect the accessibility of other technologies to epitopes; (3) as for ultrasound after other technologies, ultrasound further induces structural changes to mask and disrupt the epitopes. The reduction of allergenicity is related to the ultrasound/other technologies conditions and food types/cultivars, etc. The comparison of ultrasound before, under, and after other technologies to decrease food allergenicity should be further investigated in the future. The combination of ultrasound with other technologies is promising to produce hypoallergenic foods.

Impact of aged and virgin polyethylene microplastics on multi end-points effects of freshwater fish tissues. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 948:174704. [PMID: 39002604 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
The buildup of plastic waste in aquatic environments presents serious threats to the environment, wildlife, and ultimately to humans. Specifically, microplastics (MPs) ingestion by aquatic animals leads to adverse physiological and toxicological effects. In addition, discarded MPs undergo aging and degradation processes which affect their morphological properties and chemical composition, enhancing the absorption of environmental pollutants. Under this prism, the present research was conducted to investigate and compare the impact of 'aged' versus pristine low-density polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs) on various toxicity endpoints as biochemical and molecular parameters in the muscle tissue and liver of the freshwater fish species Perca fluviatilis. In parallel, the morphological, physicochemical, and structural changes occurred in "aged" PE-MPs, (after being exposed to UV radiation for 120 days) were studied, significantly illustrating signs of oxidation and crack propagation at the surface of the studied MPs. Fish were exposed to artificial diet reached with virgin and "aged" PE-MPs, sized 100-180 μm, at concentrations of 1 mg/g of dry food for a period of 15-days. Thereafter, liver and muscle tissues were analyzed in relation to multi oxidative parameters. Compared to the control group, the observed changes in the examined fish included increased activities of antioxidant enzymes, as superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione reductase, enhanced concentrations of malondialdehyde, protein carbonylation, HSP70 levels, elevated MAPK phosphorylation, induction of ubiquitin-proteins, as well as heightened levels of Bax/Bcl-2 proteins, caspases and differentiated levels of LC3 II/I, SQSTM1/p62. From the studied biomarkers, apoptosis, ubiquitin and hsp70 levels, showed a more sensitive response against the ingested MPs, followed by autophagy, p38MAPK levels, antioxidant enzymes, MDA and carbonylation levels. The effect of "aged" PE-MPs was more pronounced compared to that of the virgin ones. When evaluating the response of all oxidative stress biomarkers across the studied tissues, the liver demonstrates the highest response for the majority of the biomarkers against both virgin and "aged" PE-MPs. These findings strongly indicate that "aged" MPs activate the antioxidant defence mechanisms and impact the cellular well-being of the examined fish species.

Abstract
Worldwide, many production supply chains generate a considerable amount of legume by-products (e.g., leaves, husks, broken seeds, defatted cakes). These wastes can be revalorized to develop sustainable protein ingredients, with positive economic and environmental effects. To separate protein from legume by-products, a broad spectrum of conventional (e.g., alkaline solubilization, isoelectric precipitation, membrane filtration) and novel methodologies (e.g., ultrasound, high-pressure homogenization, enzymatic approaches) have been studied. In this review, these techniques and their efficiency are discussed in detail. The present paper also provides an overview of the nutritional and functional characteristics of proteins extracted from legume by-products. Moreover, existing challenges and limitations associated with the valorization of by-product proteins are highlighted, and future perspectives are proposed.

Abstract
Protein-rich fish processing by-products, often called rest raw materials (RRM), account for approximately 60% of the total fish biomass. However, a considerable amount of these RRM is utilized for low-value products such as fish meal and silage. A promising and valuable approach for maximizing the utilization of RRM involves the extraction of bioactive fish protein hydrolysate (FPH). This review assesses and compares different hydrolyzation methods to produce FPH. Furthermore, the review highlights the purification strategy, nutritional compositions, and bioactive properties of FPH. Finally, it concludes by outlining the application of FPH in food products together with various safety and regulatory issues related to the commercialization of FPH as a protein ingredient in food. This review paves the way for future applications by highlighting efficient biotechnological methods for valorizing RRM into FPH and addressing safety concerns, enabling the widespread utilization of FPH as a valuable and sustainable source of protein.

Abstract
The production of whey protein concentrates (WPCs) from camel milk whey represents an effective approach to valorize this processing by-product. These concentrates harbor active ingredients with significant bioactive properties. Camel WPCs were spray-dried (SD) at inlet temperature of 170, 185 and 200°C, or Ultrasonicated (US) for 5, 10 and 15 min, then freeze-dried to obtain fine powder. The impact of both treatments on protein degradation was studied by sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE and reverse-phase ultraperformance liquid chromatography (RP-UPLC) techniques. Significantly enhanced protein degradation was observed after US treatment when compared with SD. Both SD and US treatments slightly enhanced the WPCs samples' antioxidant activities. The US exposure for 15 min exhibited highest 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) scavenging activity (12.12 mmol TE/g). Moreover, US treatment for 10 min exhibited the highest in vitro anti-diabetic properties (α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition), and dipeptidyl-peptidase-IV inhibitory activity among all samples. In addition, the ultrasonication for 10 min and SD at 170°C showed the lowest IC50 values for in vitro anti-hypercholesterolemic activities in terms of pancreatic lipase and cholesteryl esterase inhibition. Conclusively, these green techniques can be adapted in the preservation and processing of camel milk whey into active ingredients with high bioactive properties.

Abstract
Despite the recent advancements that Autonomous Vehicles have shown in their potential to improve safety and operation, considering differences between Autonomous Vehicles and Human-Driven Vehicles in accidents remain unidentified due to the scarcity of real-world Autonomous Vehicles accident data. We investigated the difference in accident occurrence between Autonomous Vehicles' levels and Human-Driven Vehicles by utilizing 2100 Advanced Driving Systems and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and 35,113 Human-Driven Vehicles accident data. A matched case-control design was conducted to investigate the differential characteristics involving Autonomous' versus Human-Driven Vehicles' accidents. The analysis suggests that accidents of vehicles equipped with Advanced Driving Systems generally have a lower chance of occurring than Human-Driven Vehicles in most of the similar accident scenarios. However, accidents involving Advanced Driving Systems occur more frequently than Human-Driven Vehicle accidents under dawn/dusk or turning conditions, which is 5.25 and 1.98 times higher, respectively. Our research reveals the accident risk disparities between Autonomous Vehicles and Human-Driven Vehicles, informing future development in Autonomous technology and safety enhancements.

Abstract
The impact of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU, 20 kHz) on the physicochemical and functional characteristics of gourd seed protein isolate (GoSPI) was studied. GoSPI was prepared from oil-free gourd seed flour through alkaline extraction (pH 11) and subsequent isoelectric precipitation (pH 4). The crude protein concentration of GoSPI ranged from 91.56 ± 0.17 % to 95.43 ± 0.18 %. Aqueous suspensions of GoSPI (1:3.5 w/v) were ultrasonicated at powers of 200, 400, and 600 W for 15 and 30 min. Glutelins (76.18 ± 0.15 %) were the major protein fraction in GoSPI. HIU decreased the moisture, ash, ether extract, and nitrogen-free extract contents and the hue angle, available water and a* and b* color parameters of the GoSPI in some treatments. The L* color parameter increased (7.70 %) after ultrasonication. HIU reduced the bulk density (52.63 %) and particle diameter (39.45 %), as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, indicating that ultrasonication dissociated macromolecular aggregates in GoSPI. These structural changes enhanced the oil retention capacity and foam stability by up to 62.60 and 6.84 %, respectively, while the increases in the solvability, water retention capacity, and emulsifying activity index of GoSPI were 90.10, 19.80, and 43.34 %, respectively. The gelation, foaming capacity, and stability index of the emulsion showed no improvement due to HIU. HIU altered the secondary structure of GoSPI by decreasing the content of α-helices (49.66 %) and increasing the content of β-sheets (52.00 %) and β-turns (65.00 %). The electrophoretic profile of the GoSPI was not changed by HIU. The ultrasonicated GoSPI had greater functional attributes than those of the control GoSPI and could therefore be used as a functional food component.

Abstract
Plant-based peptides (PBPs) benefit functional food development and environmental sustainability. Proteolysis remains the primary method of peptide production because it is a mild and nontoxic technique. However, potential safety concerns still emanate from toxic or allergenic sequences, amino acid racemization, iso-peptide bond formation, Maillard reaction, dose usage, and frequency. The main aim of this review is to investigate the techno-functions of PBPs in food matrices, as well as their safety concerns. The distinctive characteristics of PBPs exhibit their techno-functions for improving food quality and functionality by contributing to several crucial food formulations and processing. The techno-functions of PBPs include solubility, hydrophobicity, bitterness, foaming, oil-binding, and water-holding capacities, which subsequently affect food matrices. The safety and quality of foodstuff containing PBPs depend on the proper source of plant proteins, the selection of processing approaches, and compliance with legal regulations for allergen labeling and safety evaluations. The safety concerns in allergenicity and toxicity were discussed. The conclusion is that food technologists must apply safe limits and consider potential allergenic components generated during the development of food products with PBPs.

Abstract
This study evaluates the impact of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) on the physicochemical properties and in-vitro digestibility of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Various ultrasound durations (0-60 min) were applied to assess changes in color attributes, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total flavonoid content (TFC), total phenolic content (TPC), total protein content, and in-vitro protein digestibility (IVPD). Results indicated HIU maximumly increased TAC, TFC, TPC, and peptide content before digestion by 7.28 % (US60), 3.00 % (US30), 32.43 % (US10), and 18.93 % (US60), respectively. While HIU reduced total protein content, it enhanced IVPD by up to 12.24 % (US30). Color attributes electron microscopy reflected structural changes in the cod samples, suggesting the effectiveness of HIU in altering protein structures. These findings highlight HIU's potential as a non-thermal technique for improving the sensory and nutritional quality of Atlantic cod, offering valuable insights for the seafood processing industry and consumers.

Abstract
The Maillard conjugation of hemp protein with d-xylose was studied, focusing on the influence of ultrasonic waves, processing time, and pressure. Cavitation-driven processes, including ultrasonication (US) and manothermosonication (MTS), were found to impact the degree of grafting, functional characteristics, and structural alterations, affecting conjugation efficiency. The glycation of hemp protein with xylose assisted with US and MTS was investigated under varying pressures. MTS- and US-assisted glycation processes result in 4.22- and 1.64-fold higher degrees of grafting compared to the classical method within a short time frame. The MTS procedures also improved solubility (+3.6-fold), emulsion (+15-fold), and foaming (+1.7-fold) properties, especially at optimized pressure levels, compared to classical conjugates. Furthermore, the complexation of MTS-assisted conjugates with curcumin (Cur) enhanced Cur stability by more than 1.4-fold compared to the classical procedure during 20-day storage at 4 oC. The findings suggest potential applications in the pharmaceutical industry, active dairy/meat analog development, and gel formulation.

Abstract
Agri-food by-products, obtained as waste from the food industry, negatively impact the global economy and the environment. In order to valorize waste materials from fruit juices and tomato sauces as upcycled materials rich in health-promoting compounds, they were characterized in terms of polyphenolic and protein content. The results obtained were compared with those collected for their final products. The recovery of polyphenols was performed via ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). A high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) method was developed and validated to depict the quali-quantitative polyphenolic profile of both the by-products and the final products. The antioxidant capacity of the resulting extracts was characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometric assays in terms of total phenolic content (TPC) and total antioxidant status (TAS). Moreover, the protein content was assessed with the Kjeldahl method too. The results highlighted a significant quantity of polyphenols remaining in peach, apricot, and apple by-products, which were able to exert an antioxidant activity (in the range of 4.95 ± 5.69 × 10-1 to 7.06 ± 7.96 × 10-1 mmol Trolox 100 g-1 of dry weight (DW) sample). Conversely, the tomato by-products were highly rich in proteins (11.0 ± 2.00 to 14.4 ± 2.60 g of proteins 100 g-1 DW). The results proved that all by-products may potentially be sustainable ingredients with nutritional and functional value in a circular bio-economy prospect.

Extraction, Modification, Biofunctionality, and Food Applications of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) Protein: An Up-to-Date Review. Foods 2024; 13:1398. [PMID: 38731769 PMCID: PMC11083271 DOI: 10.3390/foods13091398] [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: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Plant-based proteins have gained popularity in the food industry as a good protein source. Among these, chickpea protein has gained significant attention in recent times due to its high yields, high nutritional content, and health benefits. With an abundance of essential amino acids, particularly lysine, and a highly digestible indispensable amino acid score of 76 (DIAAS), chickpea protein is considered a substitute for animal proteins. However, the application of chickpea protein in food products is limited due to its poor functional properties, such as solubility, water-holding capacity, and emulsifying and gelling properties. To overcome these limitations, various modification methods, including physical, biological, chemical, and a combination of these, have been applied to enhance the functional properties of chickpea protein and expand its applications in healthy food products. Therefore, this review aims to comprehensively examine recent advances in Cicer arietinum (chickpea) protein extraction techniques, characterizing its properties, exploring post-modification strategies, and assessing its diverse applications in the food industry. Moreover, we reviewed the nutritional benefits and sustainability implications, along with addressing regulatory considerations. This review intends to provide insights into maximizing the potential of Cicer arietinum protein in diverse applications while ensuring sustainability and compliance with regulations.

Abstract
The obtained seeds from fruit processing are considered by-products containing proteins that could be utilized as ingredients in food manufacturing. However, in the specific case of soursop seeds, their usage for the preparation of protein isolates is limited. In this investigation a protein isolate from soursop seeds (SSPI) was obtained by alkaline extraction and isoelectric precipitation methods. The SSPI was sonicated at 200, 400 and 600 W during 15 and 30 min and its effect on the physicochemical, functional, biochemical, and structural properties was evaluated. Ultrasound increased (p < 0.05) up to 5 % protein content, 261 % protein solubility, 60.7 % foaming capacity, 30.2 % foaming stability, 86 % emulsifying activity index, 4.1 % emulsifying stability index, 85.4 % in vitro protein digestibility, 423.4 % albumin content, 83 % total sulfhydryl content, 316 % free sulfhydryl content, 236 % α-helix, 46 % β-sheet, and 43 % β-turn of SSPI, in comparison with the control treatment without ultrasound. Furthermore, ultrasound decreased (p < 0.05) up to 50 % particle size, 37 % molecular flexibility, 68 % surface hydrophobicity, 41 % intrinsic florescence spectrum, and 60 % random coil content. Scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed smooth structures of the SSPI with molecular weights ranging from 12 kDa to 65 kDa. The increase of albumins content in the SSPI by ultrasound was highly correlated (r = 0.962; p < 0.01) with the protein solubility. Improving the physicochemical, functional, biochemical and structural properties of SSPI by ultrasound could contribute to its utilization as ingredient in food industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sugar beet is one of the most produced industrial plants in the world, and during manufacturing it produces a large quantity of leaf waste. Because this waste is rich in protein, this study aimed to identify an efficient method for producing large-scale protein concentrate from sugar beet leaves. RESULTS Results showed that protein extraction from fresh leaves was more effective than from dried leaves. Maximum protein extraction was achieved at pH 9, compared with pH 7 or 8. Blanching as a pretreatment reduced protein yield during isoelectric precipitation, with a yield of 2.31% compared to 20.20% without blanching. Consequently, blanching was excluded from the extraction process. After extraction, isoelectric precipitation, heat coagulation, and isoelectric-ammonium sulfate precipitation were compared. Although the latter resulted in the highest protein yield, Fourier transform infrared analysis revealed that excessive salt was not removed during dialysis, making it unsuitable for scale-up due to its additional cost and complexity. Therefore, isoelectric precipitation was selected as the appropriate method for protein precipitation from sugar beet leaves. To increase yield, extractions were assisted by ultrasound or enzyme addition. Ultrasound-assisted extraction resulted in an increased protein yield from 20.20% to 28.60%, while Pectinex Ultra SP-L-assisted extraction was the most effective, increasing protein yield from 20.20% to 38.09%. CONCLUSION Proteins were extracted from fresh sugar beet leaves using optimum conditions (50 °C, 30 min, pH 9) and precipitated at isoelectric point, with enzymatic-assisted extraction yielding the maximum protein recovery. © 2023 The Authors.

Ultrasound viscous reduction effects on the proteolysis of soy protein isolate at a limited degree of hydrolysis: Changes in the functional characteristics and protein structure. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 104:106847.

Abstract
High-concentration soy protein isolate was subjected to ultrasonication for viscosity reduction to assist the process of limited enzymatic hydrolysis. Ultrasonication (20 kHz, 10 min, 160 W/L) effectively reduced the viscosity of soy protein isolate at a comparatively high concentration of 14 % (w/v) and promoted the limited enzymatic hydrolysis (controlled degree of hydrolysis of 12 %) with a higher peptide yield than that of the conventional method. The correlations between substrate viscosity and peptide yield, as well as the viscosities of the resulting hydrolysates, were studied. The findings revealed positive correlations between the viscosities of the substrate and hydrolysate, underscoring the potential impact of altering substrate viscosity on the final product. Furthermore, the utilization of ultrasonic viscosity reduction-assisted proteolysis has shown its capability to improve the functional and physicochemical properties, as well as the protein structure of the hydrolysate, while maintaining the same level of hydrolysis. It is worth noting that there were significant alterations in particle size (decrease), β-sheet content (increase), β-turn content (increase), and random coil content (increase). Interestingly, ultrasonication unexpectedly impeded the degradation of molecular mass in proteins during proteolysis, while increasing the hydrophobic properties of the hydrolysate. These findings aligned with the observed reduction in bitterness and improvement in emulsifying properties and water-holding capacity.

The inclusion of protein in the regular human diet is important for the prevention of several chronic diseases. In the search for novel alternative protein sources, plant-based proteins are widely explored from a sustainable and ecological point of view. Duckweed (Lemna minor), also known as water lentil, is an aquatic plant with potential applications for human consumption due to its protein content and carbohydrate contents. Among all the conventional and novel protein extraction methods, the utilization of ultrasound has attracted the attention of scientists because of its effects on improving protein extraction and its functionalities. In this work, a Box-Behnken experimental design was proposed to optimize the alkaline extraction of protein from duckweed. In addition, an exploration of the effects of ultrasound on the morphological, structural, and functional properties of the extracted protein was also addressed. The optimal extraction parameters were a pH of 11.5 and an ultrasound amplitude and processing time of 60% and 20 min, respectively. These process conditions doubled the protein content extracted in comparison to the value from the initial duckweed sample. Furthermore, the application of ultrasound during the extraction of protein generated changes in the FTIR spectra, color, and structure of the duckweed protein, which resulted in improvements in its solubility, emulsifying properties, and foaming capacity.

[PMID: 38397497 PMCID: PMC10888355 DOI: 10.3390/foods13040520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The effects of hot air (HAD), vacuum (VAD) and conductive (CD) drying on the chemical and textural profiles of Cucurbita maxima pulp were investigated to find suitable drying conditions to avoid postharvest losses of pumpkin. The results showed that the drying methods had a significant effect (p < 0.05) on the chemical and textural profiles of pumpkin pulp. The ash content was lower in VAD (up to 7.65%) than in HAD (up to 9.88%) and CD pulp (up to 9.21%). The samples of HAD, CD and VAD had a higher fat content, up to 3.07, 2.66 and 2.51%, respectively, than fresh pulp (1.55%). The total fibre content is lower for VAD (up to 8.78%) than for HAD (up to 15.43%) and CD pulp (13.94%). HAD pulp at 70 °C (~15.51%) and VAD and CD pulp processed between 50 and 60 °C (~22%) are good sources of protein. HAD and CD pulp at 70 °C and VAD at 50 °C resulted in a high sugar content (up to 83.23%). In addition to drying, the extraction time of 40 min used in ultrasound-assisted extraction is optimal, especially for protein and sugar recovery in dried samples. Drying also led to strong changes in the textural properties of the pulp, so that an excellent dried intermediate product is the one obtained using HAD at a temperature of 70 °C and an airflow of 0.5 m/s.

Abstract
Functional and structural properties of Moringa protein concentrate (MPC), obtained from defatted Moringa oleifera seed, were investigated after treating it with an ultrasonic technique. For this purpose, dried M. oleifera seed powder was defatted and subjected to a simple protein precipitation method to generate a MPC with 73.2% protein contents. Then, a Box-Behnken design was applied to optimize the sonication treatment of MPC where ultrasound amplitude (20-80%), treatment time (5-25 min), and solute-to-solvent ratio (0.1-0.3 g/mL) were studied as factors that influence the protein solubility (PS), emulsion capacity (EC), and foaming capacity (FC) of MPC. The optimal conditions were amplitude of 58%, time of 18 min, and solute to solvent ratio of 0.18 g/mL. At these conditions, PS, EC, and FC were increased to 42, 33, and 73%, respectively, in comparison to untreated one. The structural modification by ultrasound was further confirmed by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy which illustrated the MPC modification through the changes in the peak width of amide-I band. Similarly, the intrinsic fluorescence spectral signature also showed a significant increase in the amino residues of MPC. In conclusion, the exposure of hydrophilic groups and the alteration of secondary and tertiary structures induced by ultrasonic treatment improved the functional characteristics of MPC.

Abstract
The present investigation studied the effect of process parameters on the extraction of phytochemicals from red cabbage by the application of ultrasonication and temperature. The solvent selected for the study was deep eutectic solvent (DES) prepared by choline chloride and citric acid. The ultrasound assisted extraction process was modeled using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) algorithm and integrated with the genetic algorithm for optimization purposes. The independent variables that influenced the responses (total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, total anthocyanin activity, and total flavonoid content) were ultrasonication power, temperature, molar ratio of DES, and water content of DES. Each ANFIS model was formed by the training of three Gaussian-type membership functions (MF) for each input, trained by a hybrid algorithm with 500 epochs and linear type MF for output MF. The ANFIS model predicted each response close to the experimental data which is evident by the statistical parameters (R2>0.953 and RMSE <1.165). The integrated hybrid ANFIS-GA algorithm predicted the optimized condition for the process parameters of ultrasound assisted extraction of phytochemicals from red cabbage was found to be 252.114 W for ultrasonication power, 52.715 °C of temperature, 2.0677:1 of molar ratio of DES and 25.947 % of water content in DES solvent with maximum extraction content of responses, with fitness value 3.352. The relative deviation between the experimental and ANFIS predicted values for total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, total anthocyanin activity, and total flavonoid content was found to be 1.849 %, 3.495 %, 2.801 %, and 4.661 % respectively.

Abstract
Olive leaf, as an important by-product of olive farming, is generated from the pruning and harvesting of olive trees and represents >10 % of the total olive weight. The present study was conducted to evaluate the composition, functional and structural characterizations, as well as the in vitro digestibility of olive leaf proteins isolated from ultrasonic-assisted extraction, comparing to classical and industrial techniques. The ultrasound-assisted extraction of olive leaf protein was optimized by the simultaneous maximization of the yield and purity of protein using a Box-Behnken design (BBD) of response surface methodology (RSM). The results indicated that the optimal extraction conditions were as follows: pH of 10.99, temperature of 40.48 °C, sonication time of 47.25 min, and solvent/solid ratio of 24.08 mL/g. Under these conditions, the extraction yield and protein content were 11.67 and 51.2 %, respectively, which were significantly higher than those obtained by the conventional techniques. Regarding the functionality of protein, extraction technique had significant impacts on the structural and functional properties of proteins. In general, ultrasound assisted extraction had higher solubility, and better foaming and thermal properties and in vitro digestibility but lower emulsifying stability and fluid binding capacity compared to conventional ones. Ultrasound-assisted alkaline extraction has great potential to produce edible olive leaf protein with modified functional properties that can be used for various aims in the food applications.

Abstract
Oat protein is becoming an important ingredient in beverages and formulated foods owing to its high nutritive value and bland flavor; yet, its functionality remains largely unexplored. This study sought to enhance the surface activity of oat protein isolate (OPI) through high-intensity ultrasound (HIU; at 20 or 60 °C) combined with high pressure homogenization (HP; 30 MPa) treatments. Sonication disturbed the protein conformation and significantly improved surface hydrophobicity (19.7%) and ζ-potential (15.7%), which were further augmented by subsequent HP (P < 0.05). Confocal microscopy revealed a uniform oil droplet distribution in emulsions prepared with HIU+HP combination treated OPI, and the oil droplet size decreased up to 35.6% when compared to that of non-treated OPI emulsion (d = 1718 nm). Emulsifying activity was greater for HIU+HP than for HIU, and the viscosity followed a similar trend. Moreover, while emulsions prepared with HIU or HP treated OPI were more stable than control, the 60 °C HIU+HP combination treatment yielded the maximum stability. In corroboration, a model salad dressing prepared from HIU+HP treated OPI displayed a homogenous oil droplet distribution and an improved viscosity. Therefore, thermosonication combined with high pressure homogenization may be suitable for salad dressings and other oil-imbedded food products.

Abstract
In the work, zein-yeast carboxymethyl glucan (ZY) particles were fabricated by a novel ultrasonic assisted anti-solvent precipitation (ASP) method, which was a good delivery system for resveratrol. The particle size and zeta-potential of ZY samples were detected by Zetasizer Pro analyzer, they gradually increased as the mass ratio of zein and yeast carboxymethyl glucan (YCG) changed from 10:1 to 10:5. The intermolecular interactions were investigated by zeta-potentiometric analyzer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic effects between zein and YCG molecules were identified as the main driving forces in the formation of ZY particles. The optimized ZY (10:3) binary particles were used as delivery system for encapsulating and protecting resveratrol. They had high encapsulation efficiency (85.4 %) and loading capacity (6.1 %), and increased the retention rate of resveratrol by 2.10 and 1.21 folds after exposure to light and heat conditions, effectively protect resveratrol against light and thermal degradation. These particles also delayed the release of resveratrol in simulated gastrointestinal digestion, which might improve its oral bioavailability. In conclusion, ZY binary particles could be regarded as a useful and promising delivery vehicle, which might contribute to the application of hydrophobic bioactive ingredients in functional foods.

Abstract
The molecular and biofunctional properties of protein and phenolic fractions in edible truffles remain largely unknown. This study examined the effect of ultrasonication on the contents, profiles, and bioactive properties of free and bound phenolics (FP and BP) from desert truffle (Tirmania nivea) and its protein fractions. Protein fractions from the Osborne extraction scheme were biochemically and structurally characterized. The albumin fraction showed the highest abundance (16.8%) and yield (35.8%). Total phenolic contents were the highest in non-sonicated samples (3.5-34.1 mg/g), particularly in the albumin fraction and in whole truffle. FP extracted at 30 °C (FP-30 °C) accounted for the largest proportion of total phenolics in all protein fractions, whereas BP-30 °C and FP-60 °C were predominant in non-sonicated and sonicated truffle, respectively. The highest antioxidant activity was obtained with FP-30 °C extracts from non-sonicated albumins, globulins and truffle (91.9, 72.7 and 30.0%), followed by BP-30 °C from non-sonicated albumins (25.4%) and FP-60 °C from sonicated glutelins-1 (24.2%). High inhibition of α-amylase was evidenced in several extracts, including FP-30 °C from non-sonicated glutelins-1 (99.2%) and FP-30 °C from sonicated globulins (72.4%). Several extracts also displayed high inhibition of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE), including FP-60 °C from non-sonicated glutelins-1 (65.1%) and sonicated glutelins-1 (71.1%) and globulins (64.7%). Most extracts were rich in epicatechin, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid and catechin. Correlations between phenolic content, antioxidant activity, anti-α-amylase and anti-ACE activities were influenced by sonication. Sonication reduced the particle size of the proteins and modified their structural characteristics. These findings demonstrate that white desert truffle proteins co-occur with bioactive phenolics whose functionalities can be tailored by protein fractionation and sonication.

Abstract
Ovalbumin (OVA), characterized by its high concentration in eggs, possesses remarkable foaming properties. Nevertheless, OVA is highly sensitive to thermal changes and acid-base conditions, substantially hampering its application potential for foaming purposes within the food industry. This experiment aimed to examine the effects of preheating and high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) treatment at different powers on OVA foaming properties and explore the underlying mechanisms. The results revealed that OVA exhibited the highest foaming capacity (31.5 %) and foaming stability (96.7 %) under the treatment condition of 200w + 60°C. Additionally, significant improvements were observed in the content of free sulfhydryl groups (37.27 μmg/g), solution viscosity (142.33 mPa·s), and surface hydrophobicity (37.27 μg BPB) under this condition. The absolute value of the zeta potential (-10.28 mV) was significantly increased in the 200w + 60°C treatment group. Moreover, the polymer dispersity index of OVA (0.6045) was significantly reduced, resulting in improved dispersion than the control group. The structural analysis revealed significant changes in the α-helix and β-sheet content of OVA after treatment at 200w + 60 °C. The X-ray diffraction pattern exhibited sharper peaks, indicating a crystal structure, and the fluorescence peak displayed a slight blue shift along with increased hydrophobicity. Moreover, the preheating and HIU treatment induced a continuous uneven and irregular pore structure in OVA, which ultimately enhanced its foaming properties. In conclusion, the preheating and HIU treatment offers a novel approach to enhance the foaming properties of OVA.

Abstract
Mechanical energy in the form of ultrasound and protein complexes intuitively have been considered as two distinct unrelated topics. However, in the past few years, increasingly more attention has been paid to the ability of ultrasound to induce chemical modifications on protein molecules that further change protein-protein interaction and protein self-assembling behavior. Despite efforts to decipher the exact structure and the behavior-modifying effects of ultrasound on proteins, our current understanding of these aspects remains limited. The limitation arises from the complexity of both phenomena. Ultrasound produces multiple chemical, mechanical, and thermal effects in aqueous media. Proteins are dynamic molecules with diverse complexation mechanisms. This review provides an exhaustive analysis of the progress made in better understanding the role of ultrasound in protein complexation. It describes in detail how ultrasound affects an aqueous environment and the impact of each effect separately and when combined with the protein structure and fold, the protein-protein interaction, and finally the protein self-assembly. It specifically focuses on modifying role of ultrasound in amyloid self-assembly, where the latter is associated with multiple neurodegenerative disorders.

World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 40:2. [PMID: 37923802 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-023-03782-2] [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: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
The stem rot caused by Sclerotium hydrophilum and false smut caused by Ustilaginoidea virens are two of the major production constraints in rice cultivation in India and other countries. Stem rot and false smut can be effectively controlled with synthetic fungicides. However, the indiscriminate use of chemical fungicides may cause development of resistance among the pathogens. In addition to this, synthetic fungicides also exhibit harmful impacts on the environment. Exploiting microbe-based alternatives for managing plant diseases diminishes public concerns about the ill effects of pesticide usage in crops. In this regard, the present study was designed to investigate the potential of native microbial biocontrol agents (BCAs) from rice rhizosphere for the sustainable management of stem rot and false smut diseases in rice. Potential BCAs and pathogens were identified and characterized through morphological, biochemical, and sanger sequencing techniques. Bio-efficacy tests of potential BCAs against stem rot and false smut diseases on rice under glasshouse conditions indicated higher seed vigour index of the treated seeds, significant improvement in the growth of the seedling, increased dry weight, reduction in percentage disease index viz., 70.03% (stem rot) and 69.24% (false smut) over the control plants. Phytohormones indole acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellic acid (GA), salicylic acid (SA), and zeatin (tZ) were detected and quantified in the four potential BCAs using liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies revealed the endophytic nature of the strains in rice. The study indicated a positive correlation between the diversity and concentration of phytohormones released by the bioagents and enhanced plant growth promotion and disease suppression in rice.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) and high voltage electric discharge (HVED) with water as a green solvent represent promising novel non-thermal techniques for protein extraction from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris var. altissima) leaves. Compared to HVED, US proved to be a better alternative method for total soluble protein extraction with the aim of obtaining high yield of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase enzyme (RuBisCO). Regardless of the solvent temperature, the highest protein yields were observed at 100% amplitude and 9 min treatment time (84.60 ± 3.98 mg/gd.m. with cold and 96.75 ± 4.30 mg/gd.m. with room temperature deionized water). US treatments at 75% amplitude and 9 min treatment time showed the highest abundance of RuBisCO obtained by immunoblotting assay. The highest protein yields recorded among HVED-treated samples were observed at a voltage of 20 kV and a treatment time of 3 min, disregarding the used gas (33.33 ± 1.06 mg/gd.m. with argon and 34.89 ± 1.59 mg/gd.m. with nitrogen as injected gas), while the highest abundance of the RuBisCO among HVED-treated samples was noticed at 25 kV voltage and 3 min treatment time. By optimizing the US and HVED parameters, it is possible to affect the solubility and improve the isolation of RuBisCO, which could then be purified and implemented into new or already existing functional products.

Abstract
The mulberry leaf protein extracted by ultrasound-assisted cellulase degradation (UACD) method was optimized with the protein dissolution amount (PDA) as the index. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy of extracted mulberry leaf protein were measured. The functional characteristics of protein extracted by the UACD method were evaluated. Results showed that the extraction condition was optimized and adjusted to the following parameters: pH value of 7.20, ultrasound temperature of 35.00 °C, enzyme dosage of 4.20% and ultrasound time of 10.00 min. Under these optimized conditions, the experimental verification value of PDA was 13.87 mg/mL, which was approaching to the predicted value of 13.54 mg/mL. The analysis results of FTIR showed that after extraction by the UACD method, the mulberry leaf protein with the vibrational peak of ester carbonyl (C = O) absorption peak (1734.66 cm-1) disappeared. The α-helix content of protein extracted by the UACD decreased by 8.13%, and the β-turn and random coil content of protein increased by 20.22% and 18.79%, respectively, compared to that of the blank. The microstructure of mulberry leaf protein showed that the UACD method could break the dense structure of protein raw materials, reduce the average size of proteins and increase the specific surface area and roughness of proteins. According to the results of functional characteristics, the mulberry leaf protein extracted by the UACD method presented the highest enzymolysis properties and solubility, which was beneficial for the application in the food industry. In conclusion, the UACD method was a very effective way to extract protein from mulberry leaf.

Abstract
Pulsed electric field (PEF) as a green processing technology is drawing greater attention due to its eco-friendliness and potential to promote sustainable development goals. In this study, the effects of different electric field strengths (EFS, 0-30 kV/cm) on the structure and physicochemical features of casein micelles (CSMs) were investigated. It was found that the particle sizes of CSMs increased at low EFS (10 kV/cm) but decreased at high EFS (30 kV/cm). The absolute ζ-potential at 30 kV/cm increased from -26.6 (native CSMs) to -29.5 mV. Moreover, it was noticed that PEF treatment leads to changes in the surface hydrophobicity; it slightly increased at low EFS (10 kV/cm) but decreased at EFS > 10 kV/cm. PEF enhanced the protein solubility from 84.9 (native CSMs) to 87.1% (at 10 kV/cm). PEF at low EFS (10 kV/cm) intensified the emission fluorescence spectrum of CSMs, while higher EFS reduced the fluorescence intensity compared to native CSMs. Moreover, the analysis of the Amide Ι region showed that PEF-treated CSMs reduced the α-helix and increased the β-sheet content. Raman spectra confirmed that PEF treatment > 10 kV/cm buried tyrosine (Tyr) residues in a hydrophobic environment. It was also found that PEF treatment mainly induced changes in the disulfide linkages. In conclusion, PEF technology can be employed as an eco-friendly technology to change the structure and physiochemical properties of CSMs; this could improve their techno-functional properties.

Abstract
The ultrasound-induced impacts on the peptide characteristics and taste of unsmoked bacon have been evaluated through the use of peptidomics and bioinformatics approaches. Furthermore, the effect of such ultrasound-induced changes on the main endogenous proteases responsible for peptide generation was also investigated. In fact, the activity of main endogenous proteases was significantly increased after ultrasonic treatment during the processing of unsmoked bacon, and contributed to an increased number and an enhanced LFQ intensity of peptides. Besides, such increased amount of peptides and LFQ intensity with up to 500 W ultrasonic treatment were beneficial for the taste improvement of the final products as shown by taste prediction analysis. Nevertheless, an excessive ultrasonic power like 750 W hindered protein hydrolysis and further exerted a negative effect on peptide generation. Therefore, ultrasound under controlled conditions could be considered as a promising way to improve the taste of unsmoked bacon.

Abstract
Biomass contains different macroconstituents (polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins) with nutritional and functional properties. However, after harvest or processing, stabilization of biomass is necessary to preserve the macroconstituents from degradation by microbial growth and enzymatic reactions. Because these stabilization methods affect the structure of the biomass, extraction of valuable macroconstituents can be impacted. Literature, in general, focuses on either stabilization or extraction, but systematic information on the interlinkage between these processes has rarely been reported. This review summarizes recent research on physical, biological, and chemical stabilization methods on macroconstituent extraction yields and functionalities. Often, freeze drying as a stabilization method resulted in a good extraction yield and functionality, independent of the macroconstituent. Less documented treatments, such as microwave drying, infrared drying, and ultrasound stabilization, result in better yields compared to conventional physical treatments. Biological and chemical treatments were rarely performed but could be promising as stabilization methods before performing an extraction step.

Abstract
Natural resource depletion, negative environmental effects and the challenge to secure global food security led to the establishment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In need to explore underutilized sustainable protein sources, this study aims at isolating protein from cowpea by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), where the techno-functional characteristics of the protein isolates were studied at different sonication conditions i.e., 100 W and 200 W at processing times ranging from 5 to 20 min. The US at 200 W-10 min produced the optimal results for all properties. In this process combination, there was an increase in protein yield, solubility, water-holding capacity, foaming capacity and stability, emulsion activity and stability, zeta-potential, and in-vitro protein digestibility from 31.78% to 58.96%, 57.26% to 68.85%, 3.06 g/g to 3.68 g/g 70.64% to 83.74%, 30.76% to 60.01%, 47.48% to 64.26%, 56.59% to 87.71%, -32.9 mV to -44.2 mV and 88.27% to 89.99%, respectively and particle size dropped from 763 nm to 559 nm in comparison to control. The microstructure and secondary-structure alterations of proteins caused by sonication were validated by SEM images, SDS-PAGE, and FTIR analyses. Sonication leads to acoustic cavitation and penetrate the cell walls, improving extraction from the solid to liquid phase. After sonication, the hydrophobic protein groups were exposed and proteins were partially denatured which increased its functionality. The findings demonstrated that UAE of cowpea protein improved yield, modify characteristics to fit the needs of the food industry, and contribute to achieving SDGs 2, 3, 7, 12, and 13.

Abstract
To the best of our knowledge, few studies have utilized cold plasma to improve soybean protein extraction yield and the functional properties of soybean protein. In this study, we aimed to assess the benefits of remote plasma treatments on soybean with respect to the utilization of soybean protein. This study involved two different sample forms (whole and crushed beans), two different plasma chemistry modes (ozone and nitrogen oxides [NOx = NO + NO2]), and a novel pressure-swing reactor. Crushed soybeans were significantly affected by NOx-mode plasma treatment. Crushed soybeans treated with NOx-mode plasma had the best outcomes, wherein the protein extraction yield increased from 31.64% in the control to 37.90% after plasma treatment. The water binding capacity (205.50%) and oil absorption capacity (267.67%) of plasma-treated soybeans increased to 190.88% and 246.23 % of the control, respectively. The emulsifying activity and emulsion stability slightly increased compared to those of the control. The secondary structure and surface hydrophobicity were altered. The remote plasma treatment of crushed soybeans increased soybean protein extraction yield compared to plasma-treated whole beans as well as untreated beans and altered the structural and physicochemical properties of soybean proteins.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of ultrasound pretreatment on the yield and the physicochemical properties, structural and digestion characterizations of quinoa protein (QP). Results showed that under the conditions of ultrasonic power density of 0.64 W/mL, ultrasonication time of 33 min, and the liquid-solid ratio of 24 mL/g, the highest yield of QP at 68.403 % was obtained, which was significantly higher than that without ultrasound pretreatment at 51.26 ± 1.76 % (P < 0.05). Ultrasound pretreatment decreased the average particle size and ζ-potential but increased the hydrophobicity of QP (P < 0.05). However, no significant protein degradation and secondary structure changes of QP by ultrasound pretreatment were observed. In addition, ultrasound pretreatment slightly improved the in vitro digestibility of QP and reduced the dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory activity of the hydrolysate of QP by in vitro digestion. Overall, this work demonstrates that ultrasound-assisted extraction is appropriate for improving the extraction efficiency of QP.

[PMID: 36493478 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.135071] [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: 05/08/2022] [Revised: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Increasing protein demands directly require additional resources to those presently and recurrently available. Emerging green technologies have witnessed an escalating interest in "Cavitation Processing" (CP) to ensure a non-invasive, non-ionizing and non-polluting extraction. The main intent of this review is to present an integrated summary of cavitation extraction methods specifically applied to food protein sources. Along with a comparative assessment carried out for each type of cavitation model, protein extraction yield and implications on the extracted protein's structural and functional properties. The basic principle of cavitation is due to the pressure shift in the liquid flow within milliseconds. Hence, cavitation emerges similar to boiling; however, unlike boiling (temperature change), cavitation occurs due to pressure change. Characterization and classification of sample type is also a prime candidate when considering the applications of cavitation models in food processing. Generally, acoustic and hydrodynamic cavitation is applied in food applications including extraction, brewing, microbial cell disruption, dairy processing, emulsification, fermentation, waste processing, crystallisation, mass transfer and production of bioactive peptides. Micro structural studies indicate that shear stress causes disintegration of hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals interactions result in the unfolding of the protein's secondary and/or tertiary structures. A change in the structure is not targeted but rather holistic and affects the physicochemical, functional, and nutritional properties. Cavitation assisted extraction of protein is typically studied at a laboratory scale. This highlights limitations against the application at an industrial scale to obtain potential commercial gains.

Ultrasound-assisted limited enzymatic hydrolysis of high concentrated soy protein isolate: Alterations on the functional properties and its relation with hydrophobicity and molecular weight. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 95:106414. [PMID: 37098311 PMCID: PMC10149311 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023]
Abstract
The effects of power ultrasound (US) pretreatment on the preparation of soy protein isolate hydrolysate (SPIH) prepared at the same degree of hydrolysis (DH) of 12 % were measured. Cylindrical power ultrasound was modified into mono-frequency (20, 28, 35, 40, 50 kHz) ultrasonic cup coupled with an agitator to make it applicable for high density SPI (soy protein isolate) solutions (14 %, w/v). A comparative study of the alterations of the hydrolysates molecular weight, hydrophobics, antioxidants and functional properties change as well as their relation were explored. The results showed that under the same DH, ultrasound pretreatment decelerated the degradation of protein molecular mass and the decrease rate of the degradation lessened with the increase of ultrasonic frequency. Meanwhile, the pretreatments improved the hydrophobics and antioxidants properties of SPIH. Both surface hydrophobicity (H0) and relative hydrophobicity (RH) of the pretreated groups increased with the decrease of ultrasonic frequency. Lowest frequency (20 kHz) ultrasound pretreatment had the most improved emulsifying properties and water holding capacities, although decrease in the viscosity and solubility were found. Most of these alterations were correspondence toward the change in hydrophobics properties and molecular mass. In conclusion, the frequency selection of ultrasound pretreatment is essential for the alteration of SPIH functional qualities prepared at the same DH.

Abstract
African oil bean (Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth) is an underutilised edible oil seed that could represent a sustainable protein source. In this study, the impact of ultrasonication on the extraction efficiency and properties of protein from African oil bean (AOB) seeds was evaluated. The increase in the duration of extraction favoured the extraction of AOB proteins. This was observed by an increase in extraction yield from 24% to 42% (w/w) when the extraction time was increased from 15 min to 60 min. Desirable properties were observed in extracted AOB proteins; the amino acid profile of protein isolates revealed higher ratios of hydrophobic to hydrophilic amino acids compared to those of the defatted seeds, suggesting alterations in their functional properties. This was also supported by the higher proportion of hydrophobic amino acids and high surface hydrophobicity index value (3813) in AOB protein isolates. The foaming capacity of AOB proteins was above 200%, with an average foaming stability of 92%. The results indicate that AOB protein isolates can be considered promising food ingredients and could help stimulate the growth of the food industry in tropical Sub-Saharan regions where AOB seeds thrive.

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.

Abstract
The denaturation state and relatively poor solubility of brewer's spent grain protein (BSGP) have limited its industrial application. Ultrasound treatment and glycation reaction were applied to improve the structural and foaming properties of BSGP. The results showed that all ultrasound, glycation, and ultrasound-assisted glycation treatments increased the solubility and surface hydrophobicity of BSGP while decreasing its zeta potential, surface tension and particle size. Meanwhile, all these treatments resulted in a more disordered and flexible conformation of BSGP, as observed by CD spectroscopy and SEM. After grafting, the result of FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the covalent binding of -OH between maltose and BSGP. Ultrasound-assisted glycation treatment further improved the free SH and S-S content, which might be due to -OH oxidation, indicating that ultrasound promoted the glycation reaction. Furthermore, all these treatments significantly increased the foaming capacity (FC) and foam stability (FS) of BSGP. Notably, BSGP treated with ultrasound showed the best foaming properties, increasing the FC from 82.22% to 165.10% and the FS from 10.60% to 131.20%, respectively. In particular, the foam collapse rate of BSGP treated with ultrasound-assisted glycation was lower than that of ultrasound or traditional wet-heating glycation treatment. The enhanced hydrogen bonding ability and hydrophobic interaction between protein molecules caused by ultrasound and glycation might be responsible for the improved foaming properties of BSGP. Thus, ultrasound and glycation reactions were efficient methods for producing BSGP-maltose conjugates with superior foaming properties.

Abstract
Plant proteins can be an important alternative to animal proteins subject to minor modification to address sustainability issues. The impact of ultrasound application on the yield, techno-functional properties, and molecular characteristics of protein extracted from Moringa oleifera seeds was studied. For this purpose, a central composite design (CCD) was applied to optimize ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) parameters such as amplitude (25–75%), solute-to-solvent ratio (1:10–1:30), and pH (9–13) for obtaining the maximum protein yield. At the optimized conditions of 75% amplitude, 1:20 solute-to-solvent ratio, and 11 pH, a protein yield of 39.12% was obtained in the UAE process. Moreover, the best sonication time at optimized conditions was 20 min, which resulted in about 150% more extraction yield in comparison to conventional extraction (CE). The techno-functional properties, for instance, solubility, water (WHC)- and oil-holding capacity (OHC), and emulsifying and foaming properties of the protein obtained from UAE and CE were also compared. The functional properties revealed high solubility, good WHC and OHC, and improved emulsifying properties for protein obtained from UAE. Although protein from UAE provided higher foam formation, foaming stability was significantly lower.

Abstract
Over the last decade, sono-activation of enzymes as an emerging research area has received considerable attention from food researchers. This kind of relatively new application of ultrasound has demonstrated promising potential in facilitating the modern food industry by broadening the application of various food enzymes, improving relevant industrial unit operation and productivity, as well as increasing the yield of target products. This review aims to provide insight into the fundamental principles and possible industrialization strategies of the sono-activation of food enzymes to facilitate its commercialization. This review first provides an overview of ultrasound application in the activation of food protease, carbohydrase, and lipase. Then, the recent development on ultrasound activation of food enzymes is discussed on aspects including mechanisms, influencing factors, modification effects, and its applications in real food systems for free and immobilized enzymes. Despite the far fewer studies on sono-activation of immobilized enzymes compared with those on free enzymes, we endeavored to summarize the relevant aspects in three stages: ultrasound pretreatment of free enzyme/carrier, assistance in immobilization process, and modification of the already immobilized enzyme. Lastly, challenges for the scalability of ultrasound in these target areas are discussed and future research prospects are proposed.
