Foods 2024; 13:995. [PMID: 38611301 PMCID: PMC11011393 DOI: 10.3390/foods13070995] [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: 02/24/2024] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of our study was to analyze and identify enzymatic peptides from straw mushrooms that can enhance salty taste with the aim of developing saltiness enhancement peptides to reduce salt intake and promote dietary health. We isolated taste-related peptides from the straw mushroom extract using ultrafiltration and identified them using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. The study found that the ultrafiltration fraction (500-2000 Da) of straw mushroom peptides had a saltiness enhancement effect, as revealed via subsequent E-tongue and sensory analyses. The ultrafiltration fractions (500-2000 Da) were found to contain 220 peptides, which were identified through UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS analysis. The interaction of these peptides with the T1R1/T1R3 receptor was also assessed. The investigation highlighted the significant involvement of Asp223, Gln243, Leu232, Asp251, and Pro254 in binding peptides from triple-enzymatically hydrolyzed straw mushrooms to T1R1/T1R3. Based on the binding energy and active site analysis, three peptides were selected for synthesis: DFNALPFK (-9.2 kcal/mol), YNEDNGIVK (-8.8 kcal/mol), and VPGGQEIKDR (-8.9 kcal/mol). Importantly, 3.2 mmol of VPGGQEIKDR increased the saltiness level of a 0.05% NaCl solution to that of a 0.15% NaCl solution. Additionally, the addition of 0.8 mmol of YNEDNGIVK to a 0.05% NaCl solution resulted in the same level of saltiness as a 0.1% NaCl solution.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to screen and verify salt-enhancing peptides that can effectively reduce sodium consumption from Largemouth bass myosin through virtual hydrolysis, molecular simulation, and sensory evaluation. The human transmembrane channel-like 4 (TMC4) was constructed using Alphafold2, with 93.3 % of amino acids falling within allowed regions. A total of 19 peptides were predicted through virtual hydrolysis and screening. DAF, QIF, RPAL, and IPVM significantly enhanced the saltiness perception, and QIF exhibited the most pronounced effect in enhancing saltiness (P < 0.05). The residues Ala258, Ser546, Ser603, Phe259, Cys265, Glu539, Lys278 and Ser585 were identified as key binding sites. The TMC4-DAF complex achieved stability after 20, 000 ps, exhibiting an average RMSD value of 0.84 nm. DAF consistently displayed fluctuations at approximately 3.05 nm, and the number of hydrogen bonds varied between 3 and 5. These results suggested that Alphafold2 modelling can be used for predicting salt-enhancing peptides.

[PMID: 37803590 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113277] [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: 02/02/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
The health concerns associated with high dietary sodium and the quest for a sensory experience have prompted the need for new strategies that can reduce the salt content of foods and have good acceptability. To investigate the cross-modal interaction effects of "má là" umami flavor (total of eight carriers) on the saltiness perception and effective sodium reduction in low-to-strong NaCl aqueous solutions (0.203 %-1.39 %) and oil-added systems (5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 %, 25 % canola oil, wt%), sixteen assessors were selected and two methods including saltiness intensity comparison with a category scale and rating with a generalized Labeled Magnitude Scale (gLMS) were used. The results showed PnSnUn carriers significantly enhance saltiness at moderate-to-strong NaCl solutions, and higher saltiness intensity with the addition of canola oil, especially at 25 % oil level. In addition, based on the developed Stevens' power function the sodium reduction was calculated, it was evident that two "má là" umami flavor combinations (one flavor combination was low "má", low "là" and moderate umami, and the other flavor combination with moderate "má", low "là" and moderate umami) were found to perform best with maximum sodium reduction of 18.88 % and 18 %, respectively, and when incorporating 25 % canola oil, the maximum sodium reduction raised by approximately 10 % (to 28.00 % and 28.42 %). This research not only confirmed the positive modulating effect of the "má là" umami flavor on saltiness perception in NaCl solutions, but also showed that the presence of oil further enhanced this effect. This work offered a new and promising insight into the development of foods with reduced sodium content while maintaining the saltiness properties.

[PMID: 37048357 PMCID: PMC10094339 DOI: 10.3390/foods12071536] [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: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) skins, as filleting byproduct, were developed into a crispy snack food via air-frying. Consumers rated catfish skin chips (CSC) across sensory modalities (9-point hedonic scales, a just-about-right scale, and "yes/no" for purchase intent, PI) for Plain-, Lemon & Pepper-, and Barbecue-flavored samples during two consumer studies (N = 115 each). Paprika- flavored CSC were excluded from Study 2 due to inferior acceptance and emotional ratings. CSC-elicited emotions were evaluated using a 25-term lexicon with CATA (Check-All-That-Apply) scaling (Study 1) and refined with an abbreviated lexicon containing food-evoked sensation-seeking emotions (5-point intensity scale). The two consumer studies differed in delivery format of product benefit information (a health/protein message and a food waste/sustainability message). Presenting two separate cues (Study 1) significantly increased overall liking (by 0.5 units) and PI (by 15%) for CSC compared to a single integrated message (Study 2), perhaps due to consumers' mode of information processing. Magnitude of increases was less for Barbeque CSC despite performing best overall (overall liking reaching 6.62 and PI reaching 61.7%). CSC generated mostly positive emotions, and informational cues increased sensation-seeking feelings, which can motivate trial of new foods. Accordingly, acceptance of CSC improved for 25 repeat-exposure consumers who participated in both Studies 1 and 2. In combination, sensory, cognitive, and emotional data showed favorable responses for flavored CSC as an appropriate application of this seafood byproduct.

The Enhancement of the Perception of Saltiness by Odorants Selected from Chinese Douchi in Salt Solution. Foods 2022; 11:foods11152260.

Abstract
Douchi is a traditional fermented soya bean product that is popular for its smelled saltiness and unique flavor. In order to look for the relationship between smelled saltiness of volatiles and their saltiness-enhancing properties, gas chromatography-olfactometry/associated taste was used to select odorants associated with saltiness in Yongchuan Douchi. The enhancement effects of saltiness intensity by selected odorants were further verified by sensory evaluation analyses of 2-alternative forced-choice and odor-induced saltiness enhancement in a follow-up study. A total of 14 odorant compounds were selected for their odor-associated saltiness perception. The compounds of 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethyl pyrazine, 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine, dimethyl trisulfide, 3-(methylthio) propanol and 3-(methylthio) propanal could significantly enhance saltiness perception in salt solution. Among them, 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethyl pyrazine was reported for the first time to be able to improve the salty taste. The study suggested that salty food is an ideal material for selecting saltiness-enhancing odorants, which could provide more direct theoretical support for salt reduction in the food industry.

Abstract
The structural and physicochemical properties of a low sodium MRPs were investigated.. Different MRPs low sodium seasoning salts had better flavor characteristics. CMS had the largest bulk density and the highest sensory score. SMS had good hygroscopicity and thermal stability during storage. TMS had the highest solubility, which is significant for its use as seasoning salt.
In recent years, Maillard peptides have attracted considerable attention of food researchers due to their distinct flavor properties in food processing. We investigated the structure and flavor properties of the newly developed low-sodium seasoning salt with sesame seed hydrolysate Maillard products (SSH-MRPs), cysteine Maillard products (Cys-MRPs), methionine Maillard products (Met-MRPs), and thiamine Maillard products (Thi-MRPs). Compared to the control group, the Cys-MRPs salt (CMS) had the smallest angle of repose, the highest bulk density, and the highest sensory score. The seasoning salt with SSH-MRPs (SMS) had appreciable hygroscopicity and thermal stability. The seasoning salt with Thi-MRPs (TMS) had the highest solubility. These MRPs seasoning salts showed better flavor characteristics and physicochemical properties, suggesting that MRPs can replace part of NaCl to develop new low sodium seasoning salts and promote their application in food flavoring systems.

Abstract
Sodium reduction influences the quality of processed meat products that, in turn, affect consumer acceptance. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the texture, color, and sensory acceptability of reduced-sodium Vienna sausage. A three-component mixture design (0-65% NaCl; 35-100% KCl; 0-20% glycine [Gly]) was performed to obtain an optimal salt mixture based on 14 sausage formulations. Mixture response surface plots revealed the optimal reduced-sodium Vienna sausage containing 20.13-65.00% NaCl, 35.00-60.15% KCl, and 0.00-20.00% Gly (this salt mixture constituted 1.35% of the formulation). One optimal laboratory-scale sausage, formulated with 21.43% NaCl, 59.71% KCl, and 18.86% Gly, was further selected for commercial scale-up production (a 25-kg batch). Both laboratory-scale and scale-up products were comparably acceptable (5.9-6.6 vs. 5.9-6.7) for overall liking, flavor, saltiness, and texture, and contained 315.4-333.5 mg sodium/100 g, hence having >25% sodium reduction compared to the control (569.5 mg/100 g) according to US Food and Drugs Administration regulation. This study demonstrated the feasibility of a scale-up production of acceptable reduced-sodium Vienna sausage formulated with a salt mixture of NaCl/KCl/Gly. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Processed meat products are one of the major sources of daily dietary sodium in the form of sodium chloride. Recently, there is an increased demand by consumers for healthier meat products. Of particular interest is finding solutions for sodium reduction in meat products while maintaining sensory properties and consumer acceptance. This study demonstrated that a mixture of KCl and Gly could be used as partial NaCl substitution in the commercial scale-up of Vienna sausages without drastically compromising sensory acceptability.

Abstract
Effects of high-molecular-weight (800 kDa) chitosan coating on quality of catfish fillets were examined during 6-month frozen (-20 °C) storage. Coating solutions, included distilled water (Control), 800AC1% (1% w/v chitosan in 1% v/v acetic acid), AS3% (3% w/v aspartic acid), and 800AS3% (3% w/v chitosan in 3% w/v aspartic acid). Changes in physicochemical, microbial, and consumer perception of chitosan-coated catfish fillets during frozen storage were examined. The 800AS3% coating was found to be effective in inhibiting microbial growth, controlling lipid oxidation, reducing drip loss and cooking loss, and retaining color and texture of catfish fillet during frozen storage. After 6-month frozen storage, the aroma of thawed fillets coated with 800AS3% was accepted by 77.92% of consumers with 66% positive purchase intent. This study demonstrated that a nonpungent aspartic acid, instead of commonly used pungent acetic acid, can be used in preparation of preservative high-molecular-weight chitosan coating. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The findings of this study indicated that high-molecular-weight chitosan coating showed preservative effects on quality of frozen raw catfish fillets. In our previous study, chitosan (800 kDa) at 1% and 3% concentrations showed antibacterial activity in vitro. The nonpungent aspartic acid can be used as a solvent to dissolve high-molecular-weight chitosan instead of the commonly used pungent acetic acid. The most effective coating treatment was 3% w/v chitosan in 3% w/v aspartic acid. This finding would be applicable to other seafood and fish products.

Abstract
Recently, sensory threshold concepts have been expanded to include affective perceptions of foods and beverages, especially measures of product rejection; however, each threshold interpretation depends largely on the methodology employed. By substituting cricket powder for whole-wheat flour in snack crackers (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%), we proposed modifications to two existing threshold methodologies: a modified consumer rejection threshold (M-CRT) using a 2-alternative choice (2-AC) preference test with "no preference" option; and a modified hedonic rejection threshold (M-HRT) based on less-than-neutral hedonic scores according to a one-sample t-test. We also proposed two new concepts: a rejection tolerance threshold (RTT) and an associated rejection range (RR), based on a binomial acceptability question and a probit regression model. These new methods provide more realistic interpretations of rejection-type thresholds based on user-defined allowable rejection levels, or "rejection tolerance" (for RTT), and a model-derived stimulus range (RR) to capture the rejection level of interest while providing flexibility for product formulation. All thresholds were investigated separately for color, flavor, texture and overall perception, elucidating differential sensorial effects of our novel ingredient on the food matrix. We suggest that conducting all demonstrated techniques in a single testing session gives a more expansive view of rejection thresholds while requiring minimal additional resources.

Effects of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Visual Cues on Consumer Emotion and Purchase Intent: A Case of Ready-to-Eat Salad. Foods 2020; 9:foods9040396. [PMID: 32244291 PMCID: PMC7230884 DOI: 10.3390/foods9040396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2020] [Revised: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 03/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
With increasing demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) fresh vegetables, it is important to understand how visual information cues, both intrinsic and extrinsic, affect consumer perception of these products. This study developed an emotional and wellness lexicon related to RTE salads. Subsequent questionnaires with images of salads were used to quantify consumer (N = 150) emotional and hedonic perceptions related to green color shade, shape/size of pieces, multicolor scheme, product name, and packaging. The different visual cues significantly impacted emotions and their intensities. Qualitatively, feelings of health and wellness predominated across salad samples. Negative emotions were more influenced by size of piece and green-color (intrinsic), while positive emotions were influenced by viewing salads of multiple colors (intrinsic) and packaging (extrinsic). Pale green salads were generally less liked than darker green ones. Values, in one case, ranged from 4.39 to 7.28 (on a 9-point hedonic scale), but naming the product (“iceberg lettuce”) did raise the lowest score to 5.75. The addition of vegetables with orange and purple colors to the salad mix had a positive impact on the perception of pale green salads. This study demonstrated that intrinsic and extrinsic visual cues significantly influenced consumer emotions, hedonic perception and purchase intent of RTE salads, but the effects of extrinsic cues were generally less prominent.

J Food Sci 2019; 84:3018-3026. [PMID: 31546288 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.14808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2019] [Revised: 07/13/2019] [Accepted: 08/20/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The effects of visual cues on familiarity, expected heat intensity, liking of appearance, emotional and wellness responses, and purchase intent (PI) before and after disclosing information associated with red chili powders were determined using a 3-point scale, a 15-cm line scale, a 9-point hedonic scale, a 15-cm line scale, and a binomial scale, respectively. In this study, consumers only visually evaluated red chili powder samples without sniffing nor tasting. Eight chili powders were prepared according to a 23 factorial design: roasted (Ro) compared with unroasted (Un); whole pod with seeds (Wh) compared with seedless (Sl); coarsely (Cr) compared with finely ground (Gr). Thai consumers (N = 230) were generally more familiar with samples having coarse particles and more reddish color (lower hue angle and higher a* values) than samples having finely ground particles and less reddish/more yellowish color (higher hue angle and lower a* values). The expected heat intensity and liking scores for appearance were lower for samples with higher hue values, particularly RoWhGr and RoSIGr samples. All scores for emotion/wellness terms, except curious, were generally higher for samples with lower hue angle and higher a* values (redness). The consumer familiarity to the appearance of the samples influenced expected heat intensity, liking of appearance, and emotion/wellness responses. PI increased by >10% after presenting "organic," "aflatoxin free," and "organic and aflatoxin free" product statements to consumers. Results showed that familiarity, overall liking of appearance, color liking, fine particles liking, and healthy as well as wild terms were significant predictors for PI (odds ratio = 1.282, 1.519, 1.314, 1.158, 1.056, and 0.939, respectively) of red chili powders. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study showed that consumer familiarity to the appearance (visual cues) of red chili powder affected expected heat intensity, liking of appearance, and emotion/wellness responses, which, in turn, affected purchase intent (PI). Samples with more reddish color and coarse particles were perceived to be more familiar than those with more yellowish color and finer particles. Familiarity, overall liking of appearance, color liking, fine particles liking, and healthy and wild terms were significant predictors for PI of chili power. The results demonstrated the importance of visual cues on the consumers' expectation and PI of red chili powder, thus offering valuable information for manufacturers.
