Miao Q, He Y, Sun H, Olajide TM, Yang M, Han B, Liao X, Huang J. Effects of preheat treatment and syringic acid modification on the structure, functional properties, and stability of black soybean protein isolate. J Food Sci 2024; 89:3577-3590. [PMID: 38720591 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.17087] [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: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated preheated (25-100°C) black soybean protein isolate (BSPI) conjugated with syringic acid (SA) (25 and 50 µmol/g protein) under alkaline conditions, focusing on the structure, functional properties, and storage stability. The results revealed that the SA binding equivalent and binding rate on BSPI increased continuously as the preheat temperature increased. Additionally, preheating positively impacted the surface hydrophobicity (H0) of BSPI, with further enhancement observed upon SA binding. Preheating and SA binding altered the secondary and tertiary structure of BSPI, resulting in protein unfolding and increased molecular flexibility. The improvement in BSPI functional properties was closely associated with both preheating temperature and SA binding. Specifically, preheating decreased the solubility of BSPI but enhanced the emulsifying activity index (EAI) and foaming capacity (FC) of BSPI. Conversely, SA binding increased the solubility of BSPI with an accompanying increase in EAI, FC, foaming stability, and antioxidant activity. Notably, the BSPI100-SA50 exhibited the most significant improvement in functional properties, particularly in solubility, emulsifying, and foaming attributes. Moreover, the BSPI-SA conjugates demonstrated good stability of SA during storage, which positively correlated with the preheating temperature. This study proposes a novel BSPI-SA conjugate with enhanced essential functional properties, underscoring the potential of preheated BSPI-SA conjugates to improve SA storage stability. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Preheated BSPI-SA conjugates can be used as functional ingredients in food or health products. In addition, preheated BSPI shows potential as a candidate for encapsulating and delivering hydrophobic bioactive compounds.

Mao S, Zhou Y, Song B, Wu Y, Wang Y, Wang Y, Liu Y, Xu X, Zhao C, Liu J. Effect of Microwave Intermittent Drying on the Structural and Functional Properties of Zein in Corn Kernels. Foods 2024; 13:207. [PMID: 38254508 PMCID: PMC10814094 DOI: 10.3390/foods13020207] [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: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Microwave intermittent drying was carried out on newly harvested corn kernels to study the effects of different microwave intermittent powers (900 W, 1800 W, 2700 W, and 3600 W) on the structural and functional properties of zein in corn kernels. The results showed that microwave drying could increase the thermal stability of zein in corn kernels. The solubility, emulsification activity index, and surface hydrophobicity increased under 1800 W drying power, which was due to the unfolding of the molecular structure caused by the increase in the content of irregular structure and the decrease in the value of particle size. At a drying power of 2700 W, there was a significant increase in grain size values and β-sheet structure. This proves that at this time, the corn proteins in the kernels were subjected to the thermal effect generated by the higher microwave power, which simultaneously caused cross-linking and aggregation within the proteins to form molecular aggregates. The solubility, surface hydrophobicity, and other functional properties were reduced, while the emulsification stability was enhanced by the aggregates. The results of the study can provide a reference for the in-depth study of intermittent corn microwave drying on a wide range of applications of zein in corn kernels.

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.

Abstract
To improve the protein dissolution rate and the quality of fresh Lycium barbarum pulp (LBP), we optimized the slit dual-frequency ultrasound-assisted pulping process, explored the dissolution kinetics of Lycium barbarum protein (LBPr), and established a near-infrared spectroscopy in situ real-time monitoring model for LBPr dissolution through spectral information analysis and chemometric methods. The results showed that under optimal conditions (dual-frequency 28-33 kHz, 300 W, 31 min, 40 °C, interval ratio 5:2 s/s), ultrasonic treatment not only significantly increased LBPr dissolution rate (increased by 71.48 %, p < 0.05), improved other nutrient contents and color, but also reduced the protein particle size, changed the amino acid composition ratio and protein structure, and increased the surface hydrophobicity, zeta potential, and free sulfhydryl content of protein, as well as the antioxidant activity of LBPr. In addition, ultrasonication significantly improved the functional properties of the protein, including thermal stability, foaming, emulsification and oil absorption capacity. Furthermore, the real-time monitoring model of the dissolution process was able to quantitatively predict the dissolution rate of LBPr with good calibration and prediction performance (Rc = 0.9835, RMSECV = 2.174, Rp = 0.9841, RMSEP = 1.206). These findings indicated that dual-frequency ultrasound has great potential to improve the quality of LBP and may provide a theoretical basis for the establishment of an intelligent control system in the industrialized production of LBP and the functional development of LBPr.

Abstract
In order to expand the utilization of chickpeas in various food products, this study investigated the effects of different homogenization pressures (0-150 MPa) and cycles (1-3) on the physicochemical, and functional properties of chickpea protein. After high-pressure homogenization (HPH) treatment, hydrophobic groups and sulfhydryl groups of chickpea protein was exposed which increased its surface hydrophobicity and decreased its total sulfhydryl content. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the molecular weight of modified chickpea protein remained unchanged. The particle size and turbidity of chickpea protein significantly decreased with an increase in homogenization pressure and cycles. Furthermore, the solubility, foaming, and emulsifying properties of chickpea protein were all enhanced by HPH treatment. In addition, the emulsions prepared by modified chickpea protein showed better stability capacity due to its smaller particle size and higher zeta potential. Therefore, HPH might be an effective technique to improve the functional properties of chickpea protein.

Abstract
Common beans are an inexpensive source of high-quality food ingredients. They are rich in proteins, slowly digestible starch, fiber, phenolic compounds, and other bioactive molecules that could be separated and processed to obtain value-added ingredients with techno-functional and biological potential. The use of common beans in the food industry is a promising alternative to add nutritional and functional ingredients with a low impact on overall consumer acceptance. Researchers are evaluating traditional and novel technologies to develop functionally enhanced common bean ingredients, such as flours, proteins, starch powders, and phenolic extracts that could be introduced as functional ingredient alternatives in the food industry. This review compiles recent information on processing, techno-functional properties, food applications, and the biological potential of common bean ingredients. The evidence shows that incorporating an adequate proportion of common bean ingredients into regular foods such as pasta, bread, or nutritional bars improves their fiber, protein, phenolic compounds, and glycemic index profile without considerably affecting their organoleptic properties. Additionally, common bean consumption has shown health benefits in the gut microbiome, weight control, and the reduction of the risk of developing noncommunicable diseases. However, food matrix interaction studies and comprehensive clinical trials are needed to develop common bean ingredient applications and validate the health benefits over time.

Abstract
In this paper, an investigation was conducted on the effects of ultrasound time, power and temperatures on the immunoreactivity of the allergenic amandin in apricot kernels by western blotting analysis during the ultrasonically accelerated debitterizing. And its influencing mechanism on the structure of amandin was also analyzed by SDS-PAGE, circular dichroism spectrum, extrinsic fluorescence spectrum, surface hydrophobicity and zeta potential determination, respectively. The results indicate that ultrasound could significantly reduce the immunoreactivity of amandin during ultrasonically accelerated debitterizing, and the optimal ultrasound condition was 60 min, 300 W, 55 °C and 59 kHz and decreased the immunoreactivity to 15.61%, which might be attributed to the changes of the protein subunits, secondary and tertiary structure, and molecular aggregation state induced by ultrasound. In a word, ultrasound could not only accelerate debitterizing, but also significantly decrease the immunoreactivity of apricot kernels, which proved the feasibility of ultrasound in practical processing of apricot kernels.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the structural changes and oxidation resistance of ultrasonic degradation products of sugar beet pectin (SBP). The changes in the structures and antioxidant activity between SBP and its degradation products were compared. As the ultrasonic treatment time increased, the content of α-D-1,4-galacturonic acid (GalA) also increased, to 68.28%. In addition, the neutral sugar (NS) content, esterification degree (DE), particle size, intrinsic viscosity and viscosity-average molecular weight (MV) of the modified SBP decreased. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to study the degradation of the SBP structure after ultrasonication. After ultrasonic treatment, the DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activities of the modified SBP reached 67.84% and 54.67% at the concentration of 4 mg/mL, respectively, and the thermal stability of modified SBP was also improved. All of the results indicate that the ultrasonic technology is an environmentally friendly, simple, and effective strategy to improve the antioxidant capacity of SBP.

Abstract
We employed dithiothreitol (DTT) to reassemble soy lipophilic protein (LP) and increased its solubility for encapsulating resveratrol (Res); we subsequently added hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) to further stabilize Res. Physicochemical characterization, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and spectral analysis revealed that DTT triggered the breakage and reassembly of the disulfide bond. Consequently, the solubility of LP increased from 38.64 % to 71.49 %, and the number of free sulfhydryl groups increased to 7.84 mol·g-1. Furthermore, the encapsulation efficiency and structure of reassembled LP nanoparticles loaded with Res were found to be closely related to the DTT concentration used for induction. When HPMC was added, the LP-Res complex demonstrated spontaneous self-assembly, and the pH and temperature stability of the Res in the nanoparticles improved. An in vitro digestion simulation revealed that the reassembled LP was an efficient carrier for Res delivery. Particularly, HPMC improved the bioavailability and sustained release of Res.

Abstract
Protein gels have diverse applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors due to their affordability, biodegradability, and edibility. However, the inherent properties of some native proteins have a few drawbacks that have to be tailored to meet the needs of specific functions as the food ingredients. The protein gelation properties mainly depend on the protein molecular structure, primarily the folding and unfolding of secondary structural elements (α-helix and β-sheets) with distinctive functions. In the past, a great amount of work (thermal, chemical, and enzymatic methods) has been carried out to enhance the gelation and functional properties of proteins. Recently, the traditional methods have been replaced with non-thermal physical methods that enhance the properties for better applications. One such approach is the use of ultrasonic technology as a low-cost green technology to modify the molecular orientation attributed to the native chemistry and functionality of that proteins. Ultrasonic technology is important in food systems and can be effectively used as an alternative method to improve the protein gelling characteristics to form high-quality gels. This article is aimed to comprehensively collate some of the vital information published on the mechanism of protein gelation by ultrasonication and review the effects of ultrasound-assisted extraction and treatments on gelation properties of different proteins. The enhanced gelation properties by the ultrasound application open a new stage of technology that enables the proteins for better utilization in the food processing sector.

Effects of Microwave Treatment on Structure, Functional Properties and Antioxidant Activities of Germinated Tartary Buckwheat Protein. Foods 2022; 11:foods11101373. [PMID: 35626943 PMCID: PMC9142102 DOI: 10.3390/foods11101373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 05/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Tartary buckwheat protein (TBP) has promise as a potential source of novel natural nutrient plant protein ingredients. The modulating effects of microwave pretreatment at varying powers and times on the structure, functional properties, and antioxidant activities of germinated TBP were investigated. Compared with native germinated TBP, after microwave pretreatment, the content of free sulfhydryl groups in the germinated TBP increased, and the secondary structure changes showed a significant decrease in α-helix and an increase in random coil contents, and the intensity of the ultraviolet absorption peak increased (p < 0.05). In addition, microwave pretreatment significantly improved the solubility (24.37%), water-holding capacity (38.95%), emulsifying activity index (17.21%), emulsifying stability index (11.22%), foaming capacity (71.43%), and foaming stability (33.60%) of germinated TBP (p < 0.05), and the in vitro protein digestibility (5.56%) and antioxidant activities (DPPH (32.35%), ABTS (41.95%), and FRAP (41.46%)) of germinated TBP have also been improved. Among different treatment levels, a microwave level of 300 W/50 s gave the best results for the studied parameters. Specifically, microwave pretreatment could be a promising approach for modulating other germinated plant protein resources, as well as expanding the application of TBP.

Foods 2022; 11:foods11060880. [PMID: 35327302 PMCID: PMC8954619 DOI: 10.3390/foods11060880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2022] [Accepted: 03/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of different levels of ultrasonic power (200, 400, 600 W) and treatment time (0, 10, 15 and 30 min) on the structure, emulsification characteristics, and in vitro digestibility of chickpea protein isolate (CPI). The changes in surface hydrophobicity of CPI indicated that ultrasound treatment exposed more hydrophobic amino acid residues. The analysis of sulfhydryl content and zeta potential showed that ultrasound caused the disulfide bond of CPI to be opened, releasing more negatively charged groups, and the solution was more stable. In addition, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy showed that ultrasound changes the secondary and tertiary structure of CPI, which is due to molecular expansion and stretching, exposing internal hydrophobic groups. The emulsification and foaming stability of CPI were significantly improved after ultrasonic treatment. Ultrasonic treatment had a minor effect on the solubility, foaming capacity and in vitro digestibility of CPI. All the results revealed that the ultrasound was a promising way to improve the functional properties of CPI.

J Food Sci 2021; 87:80-93. [PMID: 34935129 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.15993] [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: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Proteins, one of the vital nutritional compounds sensitive to the environment, can be modified by interaction with polyphenols. Ultrasonication has been applied for enhancing the functional properties of proteins. In this study, the interactions of gliadin (G) and rutin (R) in the absence and presence of ultrasonication (0, 150, 300, 450, and 600 W) for 20 min were investigated, with a focus on the properties of emulsions prepared by G-R complexes. Ultrasonication improved the interaction, which increased the content of β-type secondary structure. Ultrasonication at 450 W increased the particle size of the conjugates. For Pickering emulsions, treating the covering of R on G with ultrasonication improves the stability of the G-based emulsion significantly, owing to the strong films formed on the oil-water interfaces. The G-R complexes treated at 450 W ultrasonication formed emulsions that showed higher potential and storage modulus (G') and denser microstructures than those of the untreated emulsions. Nevertheless, ultrasound treatment at 600 W weakened the emulsion properties that were stabilized by the conjugates. Ultrasound combined R was shown to be a potential processing technology for changing the protein structure and producing stable emulsions. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The interactions between proteins and polyphenols are able to preserve the stability of the functional compounds, allow targeted and controlled release, and improve the texture of these complexes employed in the food industry. Improvements in the functional characteristics of the protein-polyphenol complexes so that they possess high emulsifying stability during food processing is a crucial factor for employing them in the food industry. Therefore, the aim of this research is using a soluble complex of gliadin-rutin for the development of its functional characteristics.

Development of a method to screen and isolate xanthine oxidase inhibitors from black bean in a single step: Hyphenation of semipreparative liquid chromatography and stepwise flow rate countercurrent chromatography. J Sep Sci 2021; 45:492-506. [PMID: 34799974 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202100663] [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: 08/22/2021] [Revised: 11/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Black bean, in which isoflavones are the main active constituent, also contains saponins and monoterpenes. Soybean isoflavone is a secondary metabolite that is formed during the growth of soybean; it exhibits antioxidant and cardiovascular activities and traces estrogen-like effects. In this study, black bean isoflavones were extracted with n-butanol, and ultrafiltration-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to screen their activity. Subsequently, the inhibitors were isolated and purified using semipreparative liquid chromatography and stepwise flow rate countercurrent chromatography. Thereafter, five active compounds were identified using mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. Finally, the inhibition types of the xanthine oxidase inhibitors were determined using enzymatic kinetic studies. The IC50 values of daidzin, glycitein-7-O-glucoside, genistin, daidzein, and genistein were determined to be 35.08, 56.22, 30.76, 68.79, and 95.37 μg/mL, respectively. Daidzin, genistin, and daidzein exhibited reversible inhibition, whereas glycitein-7-O-glucoside and genistein presented irreversible inhibition. This novel approach, which was based on ultrafiltration-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and stepwise flow rate countercurrent chromatography, is a powerful method for screening and isolating xanthine oxidase inhibitors from complex matrices. The study of enzyme inhibition types is helpful for understanding the underlying inhibition mechanism. Therefore, a beneficial platform was developed for the large-scale production of bioactive and nutraceutical ingredients.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2020; 69:105268. [PMID: 32731126 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2020.105268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/19/2020] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Structure and rheological properties of myosin in myofibrillar protein (MP) after single frequency pulsed ultrasound (SFPU, G1-G2) and dual frequency pulsed ultrasound (DFPU, G3) were compared for the first time. Results showed SFPU and DFPU induced "stress response" through the action of cavitation on multiple myosin. In addition, there may be a certain quorum sensing among myosin, inducing a more stable β-antiparallel structure to resist negative effects of cavitation force. Results of particle size and synchronous fluorescence indicated that structure of myosin in MPs changed through stress. The increase in pH also assisted in the ultrasound process (G5-G7). Notably, DFPU induced stronger quorum sensing and formed a more stable structure. More so, effects of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and baicalein (BN) on the emulsion and gel properties of DFPU treated and non-treated MPs were also investigated. Results showed that ultrasound increased the stability of emulsion. Additionally, the texture and expressible moisture content (EMOC) of the gel were also improved after treatment.
