Extraction, identification, and molecular mechanisms of α-glucosidase inhibitory peptides from defatted Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) powder hydrolysates. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131126. [PMID: 38527682 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131126] [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: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the potential of Antarctic krill-derived peptides as α-glucosidase inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The enzymolysis conditions of α-glucosidase inhibitory peptides were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM), a statistical method that efficiently determines optimal conditions with a limited number of experiments. Gel chromatography and LC-MS/MS techniques were utilized to determine the molecular weight (Mw) distribution and sequences of the hydrolysates. The identification and analysis of the mechanism behind α-glucosidase inhibitory peptides were conducted through conventional and computer-assisted techniques. The binding affinities between peptides and α-glucosidase were further validated using BLI (biolayer interferometry) assay. The results revealed that hydrolysates generated by neutrase exhibited the highest α-glucosidase inhibition rate. Optimal conditions for hydrolysis were determined to be an enzyme concentration of 6 × 103 U/g, hydrolysis time of 5.4 h, and hydrolysis temperature of 45 °C. Four peptides (LPFQR, PSFD, PSFDF, VPFPR) with strong binding affinities to the active site of α-glucosidase, primarily through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. This study highlights the prospective utility of Antarctic krill-derived peptides in curtailing α-glucosidase activity, offering a theoretical foundation for the development of novel α-glucosidase inhibitors and related functional foods to enhance diabetes management.

Abstract
Durian contains rich flavor components that undergo complex changes during drying. In this study, durian was subjected to integrated freeze-drying (IFD), conventional freeze-drying (CFD), and hot air drying (AD). Compared with the fresh samples, those dried by IFD, CFD, and AD lost 11, 9, and 7 original volatile compounds, respectively, and generated 7, 6, and 8 new volatile compounds, respectively, and showed a rapid and then slow decreasing trend in the total content during drying. However, the types of amino acids and soluble sugars remained unchanged during each of the drying methods. Furthermore, volatile compounds showed a significant negative correlation with the majority of amino acids and a significant positive correlation with soluble sugars. The IFD samples had the highest content of volatile compounds, amino acids, and soluble sugars. Therefore, IFD is recommended as a preferable drying method for durian.

Abstract
Antarctic krill suffers from severe water loss after heating, and its quality deteriorates, so it is in urgent need of a green and healthy improver. In this paper, the effects of L-arginine (L-Arg) soaking on the modification of the quality of heat-treated Antarctic krill and the structure of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) in Antarctic krill were investigated. The results showed that L-Arg had an ameliorating effect on heat-treated krill in a concentration-dependent relationship. The water-holding capacity of L-Arg-soaked krill was 1.41 times higher than that of sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) at an equivalent concentration (80 mM). At 120 mM L-Arg soaked, L* and hardness of krill decreased to 58.31 and 334.81 g, while resilience and moisture content increased to 0.47 and 85.29 % after heating, respectively. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results revealed that the tissue state of the pH-corrected groups was better than the control, but not as well as that of the pH-uncorrected groups. pH and the guanidinium group in L-Arg both played roles in promoting the transition of MPs from disordered to ordered secondary structures. This transition reduced the exposure of hydrophobic and sulfhydryl groups in MPs, inhibited the protein aggregation and increased the solubility of MPs to 71.61 %, which ultimately improved the quality of heat-treated krill. It is worth noting that the pH effect had a primary influence on the observed effects, while the guanidinium group made a secondary contribution. These results could broaden the potential application of L-Arg as an improver of the quality of heat-treated krill.

Abstract
The current study focused on creating natural hydrogels consisting of mixtures of avocado seed proteins dried with different techniques and locust bean gum. Proteins were extracted from avocado seed by alkali and isoelectric precipitation methods. Avocado seed proteins were dried by five different drying methods, namely ambient drying, oven drying, vacuum drying, freeze drying, and spray drying. FT-IR spectra were used to analyze the chemical structure of proteins dried using various techniques. Additionally, hydrogel models were constructed in the presence of avocado seed proteins and locust bean gum to clarify the effect of drying techniques on their hydrogelling ability. The impact of drying techniques on the functional behavior of hydrogels was notable. The maximum water holding capacity values were detected in the hydrogel system containing spray-dried proteins (93.79%), followed by freeze-dried (86.83%), vacuum-dried (76.17%), oven-dried (72.29%), and ambient-dried (64.8%) counterparts. The swelling ratio was 34.10, 33.51, 23.05, 18.93, and 14.39% for gels in the presence of freeze-dried, spray-dried, vacuum-dried, oven-dried, and ambient-dried proteins, respectively. Additionally, the desirable values for the amount of protein leaking from the systems prepared using spray-dried (7.99%) and freeze-dried (12.14%) proteins were obtained compared to others (ambient-dried: 24.03%; oven-dried: 17.69%; vacuum-dried: 19.10%). Superior results in terms of textural properties were achieved in hydrogel models containing spray-dried and freeze-dried proteins. In general, hydrogel models exhibited elastic behavior rather than viscous properties; however, the magnitudes of elasticity varied. Furthermore, the success of gels containing hydrogel models containing spray-dried protein and locust bean gum in the bioactive compound delivery system was obvious compared with protein ones alone.

Abstract
Clanis Bilineata Tingtauica Mell Protein (CBTMP) was a kind of natural full-price protein which has a bright application prospect in the food industry. Since the functional properties of protein can be significantly affected by drying method, this study aims to explore the effect of different drying methods, namely freeze drying (FD), vacuum drying (VD),and hot-air drying (HD) on the structure and functional properties of CBTMP. The results showed that the degree of oxidation of CBTMP was found to be in the following order: HD > VD > FD. Functional characteristics revealed that the CBTMP prepared by VD had relatively high foaming ability (150.24 ± 5.34°C) among three drying methods. However, the stability of emulsion and rheological properties prepared by FD was superior to other samples. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) showed CBTMP made by HD had the relatively good thermal stability (Tp = 91.49 ± 0.19 °C), followed by VD and FD. Digestive properties reflected that heating treatment could significantly increase its degree of hydrolysis in vitro. To sum up, the research could provide experimental guidance and theoretical support for the preparation method and utilization of CBTMP.

Abstract
Microwave drying (MD) or freeze drying (FD) was commonly used as a drying treatment prior to the extraction of edible insect proteins. However, some quality defects (e.g., lipid oxidation or protein denaturation) were probably occurred via the drying step. To this end, the effect of drying or non-drying treatments (ND) after slaughtering by liquid nitrogen freezing on the physicochemical characteristics, structural and functional properties of Tenebrio molitor larvae protein (TMP) was investigated. The results indicate that TMP extracted from the ND group showed higher essential/total amino acid content, total/free sulfhydryl content, surface hydrophobicity, solubility, water/oil holding capacities, and emulsifying/foaming properties than those extracted from the MD or FD groups (P < 0.05). Moreover, the ND group had minimal impact on the structural changes of TMP which was associated with protein denaturation. Therefore, it can be concluded that a non-drying strategy prior to TMP extraction can improve functional properties and retard protein denaturation, while also conserving energy. Tenebrio molitor larvae was firstly slaughtered by liquid nitrogen freezing. Frozen larvae were subjected to either drying or non-drying treatment. Tenebrio molitor larvae protein (TMP) was extracted from dried or non-dried group. TMP extracted from the non-dried group had optimum functional properties. TMP extracted from the non-dried group had least degree of protein denaturation.

Abstract
The influence of freeze and convection (at 40 and 50 °C) drying on the physical, functional, and rheological attributes of sunflower protein (SP) and its hydrolysate (SPH) was investigated. Compared with convectively-dried samples, the lightness, turbidity, bulk density, and particle size values of the freeze-dried SP and SPH were substantially higher, but the browning index was lower (p < 0.05). Additionally, freeze-dried samples exhibited good solubility and foaming characteristics, whereas lower emulsion properties with the most pH values were observed. Furthermore, SPHs possessed higher solubility as well as foamability over SPs under varying pH values (2.0–10.0), whilst reduction in the emulsion activity index was clearly observed (p < 0.05). Convectively-dried powders exhibited greater viscosity and consistency coefficient; and significantly lower flow behavior index of dispersions, relative to the respective freeze-dried preparations, indicating that dehydration methods influenced the flow behavior of the investigated samples. From a molecular weight analysis, convectively-dried samples at various temperatures were characterized with high proportion of small-sized particles at ≤1 kDa fractions over the respective powders obtained by freeze drying. The observations made, thus, would benefit food processors and manufacturers in electing better dehydration technique based on the desired traits of SP and SPH powders for successful application in food product formulations.
