Exploring the effect of high-pressure processing conditions on the deaggregation of natural major royal jelly proteins (MRJPs) fibrillar aggregates. Food Chem 2024; 452:139611. [PMID: 38749141 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139611] [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: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
High pressure processing is a safe and green novel non-thermal processing technique for modulating food protein aggregation behavior. However, the systematic relationship between high pressure processing conditions and protein deaggregation has not been sufficiently investigated. Major royal jelly proteins, which are naturally highly fibrillar aggregates, and it was found that the pressure level and exposure time could significantly promote protein deaggregation. The 100-200 MPa treatment favoured the deaggregation of proteins with a significant decrease in the sulfhydryl group content. Contrarily, at higher pressure levels (>400 MPa), the exposure time promoted the formation of disordered agglomerates. Notably, the inter-conversion of α-helix and β-strands in major royal jelly proteins after high pressure processing eliminates the solvent-free cavities inside the aggregates, which exerts a 'collapsing' effect on the fibrillar aggregates. Furthermore, the first machine learning model of the high pressure processing conditions and the protein deaggregation behaviour was developed, which provided digital guidance for protein aggregation regulation.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on the binding interactions of cyanindin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) to bovine serum albumin, human serum albumin (HSA), bovine lactoferrin, and ovotransferrin. Fluorescence quenching revealed that HHP reduced C3G-binding affinity to HSA, while having a largely unaffected role for the other proteins. Notably, pretreating HSA at 500 MPa significantly increased its dissociation constant with C3G from 24.7 to 34.3 μM. Spectroscopic techniques suggested that HSA underwent relatively pronounced tertiary structural alterations after HHP treatments. The C3G-HSA binding mechanisms under pressure were further analyzed through molecular dynamics simulation. The localized structural changes in HSA under pressure might weaken its interaction with C3G, particularly polar interactions such as hydrogen bonds and electrostatic forces, consequently leading to a decreased binding affinity. Overall, the importance of pressure-induced structural alterations in proteins influencing their binding with anthocyanins was highlighted, contributing to optimizing HHP processing for anthocyanin-based products.

Food Res Int 2024; 192:114823. [PMID: 39147515 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114823] [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: 05/19/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
This study explored how high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and proteins (i.e., BSA and HSA) influence the color and chemical stability of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) at neutral pH. HHP treatments (100-500 MPa, 0-20 min, 25 °C) did not affect C3G content in phosphate buffer (PB) and MOPS buffer. However, significant color loss of C3G occurred in PB due to pressure-induced pH reduction (e.g., from 7 to 4.8 at 500 MPa), which accelerated the hydration of C3G, converting it from colored to colorless species. Consequently, MOPS buffer was employed for subsequent stability experiments to assess the impact of protein and HHP on the thermal, storage, and UV light stability of C3G. Initially, rapid color loss occurred during heating and storage, primarily due to the reversible hydration of C3G until equilibrium with colorless species was reached, followed by slower parallel degradation. HSA increased the fraction of colored species at equilibrium but accelerated thermal degradation, while BSA had minimal effects. UV light irradiation accelerated the degradation of C3G colored species, causing direct degradation without conversion to colorless species, a process further intensified by the presence of proteins. HHP exhibited a negligible effect on C3G stability regardless of protein addition. These findings provide insights into anthocyanin stability under HHP and protein interactions, contributing to the development of future formulation and processing strategies for improved stability and broader applications.

Abstract
Biopolymer hydrogels have a broad range of applications as soft materials in a variety of commercial products, including foods, cosmetics, agrochemicals, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and biomedical products. They consist of a network of entangled or crosslinked biopolymer molecules that traps relatively large quantities of water and provides semi-solid properties, like viscoelasticity or plasticity. Composite biopolymer hydrogels contain inclusions (fillers) to enhance their functional properties, including solid particles, liquid droplets, gas bubbles, nanofibers, or biological cells. These fillers vary in their composition, size, shape, rheology, and surface properties, which influences their impact on the rheological properties of the biopolymer hydrogels. In this article, the various types of biopolymers used to fabricate composite hydrogels are reviewed, with an emphasis on edible proteins and polysaccharides from sustainable sources, such as plants, algae, or microbial fermentation. The different kinds of gelling mechanism exhibited by these biopolymers are then discussed, including heat-, cold-, ion-, pH-, enzyme-, and pressure-set mechanisms. The different ways that biopolymer molecules can organize themselves in single and mixed biopolymer hydrogels are then highlighted, including polymeric, particulate, interpenetrating, phase-separated, and co-gelling systems. The impacts of incorporating fillers on the rheological properties of composite biopolymer hydrogels are then discussed, including mathematical models that have been developed to describe these effects. Finally, potential applications of composite biopolymer hydrogels are presented, including as delivery systems, packaging materials, artificial tissues, wound healing materials, meat analogs, filters, and adsorbents. The information provided in this article is intended to stimulate further research into the development and application of composite biopolymer hydrogels.

Abstract
Thaumatin-like proteins (TLP), existing in various fruits, have allergenic and pro-inflammatory activities. The current research attempts to reduce the pro-inflammatory activity of litchi TLP (LcTLP) through high hydrostatic pressure (HHP). This study demonstrated that HHP (250-500 MPa, 5-10 min) was a potential technique to reduce the pro-inflammatory activity of LcTLP, which was attributed to the irreversible destruction of the active domain, ie., V-cleft. SDS-PAGE showed no change in the protein profile. Continuous HHP treatment promoted LcTLP unfolding and then reassembling (400 MPa was the transition pressure), and the content of β-sheets decreased from 35.4% to 31.1%. HHP treatment could mitigate inflammatory responses of LcTLP, as confirmed by ELISA and western blot. Molecular dynamics simulations showed significant changes in the residue network under HHP, thereby affecting the V-cleft. These findings provide a theoretical explanation and structural insights into the HHP-induced reduction of pro-inflammatory activity of LcTLP.

Abstract
High pressure processing (HPP) is a non-thermal technology that can ensure microbial safety without compromising food quality. However, the presence of pressure-resistant sub-populations, the revival of sub-lethally injured (SLI) cells, and the resuscitation of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) cells pose challenges for its further development. The combination of HPP with other methods such as moderate temperatures, low pH, and natural antimicrobials (e.g., bacteriocins, lactate, reuterin, endolysin, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase system, chitosan, essential oils) or other non-thermal processes (e.g., CO2, UV-TiO2 photocatalysis, ultrasound, pulsed electric fields, ultrafiltration) offers feasible alternatives to enhance microbial inactivation, termed as "HPP plus" technologies. These combinations can effectively eliminate pressure-resistant sub-populations, reduce SLI or VBNC cell populations, and inhibit their revival or resuscitation. This review provides an updated overview of microbial inactivation by "HPP plus" technologies and elucidates possible inactivation mechanisms.

Abstract
Cereal and legume proteins, pivotal for human health, significantly influence the quality and stability of processed foods. Despite their importance, the inherent limited functional properties of these natural proteins constrain their utility across various sectors, including the food, packaging, and pharmaceutical industries. Enhancing functional attributes of cereal and legume proteins through scientific and technological interventions is essential to broadening their application. Cold plasma (CP) technology, characterized by its non-toxic, non-thermal nature, presents numerous benefits such as low operational temperatures, lack of external chemical reagents, and cost-effectiveness. It holds the promise of improving proteins' functionality while maximally retaining their nutritional content. This review delves into the pros and cons of different cold plasma generation techniques, elucidates the underlying mechanisms of protein modification via CP, and thoroughly examines research on the application of cold plasma in augmenting the functional properties of proteins. The aim is to furnish theoretical foundations for leveraging CP technology in the modification of cereal and legume proteins, thereby enhancing their practical applicability in diverse industries.

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
Nowadays, rotaviruses remain a major health burden, especially in developing countries, and strategies complementary to vaccination are needed. In this view, dairy fractions have attracted great scientific interest, due to their high content of bioactive compounds. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antiviral activity of whey and buttermilk enriched in proteins from hyperimmune bovine colostrum (HBC) against rotavirus. The enriched fractions were spray-dried and subsequently tested for their neutralizing activity against the bovine rotavirus WC3 strain in vitro, using differentiated Caco-2/TC7 cells. The highest antirotaviral activity was observed when whey and buttermilk were enriched in purified immunoglobulin G (IgG), showing complete rotavirus neutralization at concentrations of 3 and 6 mg mL-1 for whey and buttermilk, respectively. Additionally, the use of a crude immunoglobulin fraction also gave satisfactory results. The inhibitory activities of all samples significantly decreased after the application of heat, except for the IgG-enriched buttermilk which showed a slight increase of activity following the application of short-time treatments (75 or 85 °C for 20 s). This sample also showed a significant increase of activity (13%) after the application of low-intensity high hydrostatic pressure treatment (400 MPa for 5 min). The maximum loss of bioactivity was observed at 600 MPa for 10 min (31 and 20% for whey- and buttermilk-based formulas, respectively). This study provides relevant information on the potential of whey, buttermilk, and HBC to be part of functional products as complementary strategies to combat rotavirus infections.

Abstract
High pressure processing (HPP) was found to have a kinase effect on persimmon pectin methyl esterase (PME), while the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, chemical experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to reveal its mechanisms. Persimmon PME was first extracted and purified using ion exchange columns with 81.89% purity. After 500 MPa/5 min, PME activity increased 11.3%, the α-helix and β-folding decreased 10.8% and 6.1% compared to the 0.1 MPa group, respectively. MD results showed that HPP decreased the volume, increased the number of hydrogen bonds between PME and pectin. Under high pressure, Asp-157, Asp-136 and Gln-135 in the enzyme activity center remained stable, while the positions of Arg-225 and Gln-113 changed a lot. The conformation of the substrate binding channel also changed. The secondary structure and volume changes of the HPP-treated PME affected the active center and substrate channels, ultimately altering the activity.

[PMID: 38201159 PMCID: PMC10778925 DOI: 10.3390/foods13010130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The current trend in the food industry is towards "clean label" products with high sensory and nutritional quality. However, the inclusion of nutrient-rich ingredients in recipes often leads to sensory deficiencies in baked goods. To meet these requirements, physically modified flours are receiving more and more attention from bakery product developers. There are various findings in the literature on high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) technology, which can be used to modify various matrices so that they can be used as ingredients in the baking industry. HHP treatments can change the functionality of starches and proteins due to cold gelatinization and protein unfolding. As a result, the resulting ingredients are more suitable for nutrient-rich bakery formulations. This review describes the information available in the literature on HHP treatment conditions for ingredients used in the production of bakery products and analyses the changes in the techno-functional properties of these matrices, in particular their ability to act as structuring agents. The impact of HHP-treated ingredients on the quality of dough and bakery products and the effects on some nutritional properties of the treated matrices have been also analysed. The findings presented in this paper could be of particular interest to the bakery industry as they could be very useful in promoting the industrial application of HHP technology.

Food Chem 2023; 428:136703. [PMID: 37423103 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136703] [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: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
The synergistic effect of the initial state of the enzyme and pressure level on the denaturation of PPO has not been clear yet, but it significantly affects the application of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) in the enzyme-containing food processing. Solid (S-) and low/high concentration liquid (LL-/HL-) polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was used as the study object, and the microscopic conformation, molecular morphology and macroscopic activity of PPO under HHP treatments (100-400 MPa, 25 °C/30 min) were investigated by spectroscopic techniques. The results show that the initial state has a significant effect on the activity, structure, active force and substrate channel of PPO under pressure. The effec can be ranked as follows: physical state > concentration > pressure, S-PPO > LL-PPO > HL-PPO. High concentration has a weakening effect on the pressure denaturation of the PPO solution. Under high pressure, the α-helix and concentration factors play a crucial role in stabilizing the structure.

Abstract
The potential binding of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) to bovine lactoferrin (BLF) and ovotransferrin (OTF) at pH 3, 5, and 7 was investigated for the first time. Multiple spectroscopic techniques demonstrated pH-dependent alterations in the conformational characteristics of BLF and OTF upon complexation with C3G. Fluorescence quenching assays showed that their highest binding affinity was at pH 7. Hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds were found to be crucial in molecular dynamics simulations but with significantly lower probabilities of formation at pH 3 (p < 0.05). At pH 7, electrostatic attraction can occur for the negatively charged forms of C3G, and the well-maintained native structures of BLF and OTF may be favorable for stabilizing the C3G binding sites. This study sheds light on the stronger interaction of C3G with BLF/OTF at pH 7, which may have implications for future applications such as anthocyanin stabilization or the development of functional food ingredients.

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.
