Du L, Meng Z. Carrageenan-induced conjugated oat protein isolate microgel particles as structure modulators in fat analogues and their digestion behaviors. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 674:663-676. [PMID: 38950465 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.107] [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: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Engineering plant-based microgel particles (MPs) at a molecular scale is meaningful to prepare functional fat analogues. We hypothesize that oat protein isolate (OPI) and κ-carrageenan (CA) have synergy in MPs formation, using MPs with controllable structure, and further to fabricate fat analogues with adjustable characteristics is feasible. Their digestion fate will also be possibly modulated by interfacial coatings. EXPERIMENTS OPI-based conjugated MPs with tunable rigidities by changing crosslinking densities were designed. The relationship between microgel structures, and emulsion gel properties was explored through spectroscopy, microstructure, rheology and tribology. The delivery to lycopene, as well as inhibiting digestion behaviors of fat analogues was evaluated in a simulated gastro-intestinal tract. FINDINGS The rigidity of conjugated MPs could be tailored to optimize the performance of fat analogues. OPI-1 %CA MPs could stabilize emulsions up to 95 % oil fraction with fine texture. Tribological behaviors had a dependence on microgel elasticity and interfacial coatings, medium hard MP-stabilized emulsion was less disrupted without coalescence after oral processing. Digestion was delayed by denser and harder MPs by softening the interfacial particle layer or limiting lipase accessibility. Softer conjugated MPs possessed better flexibility and were broken down more easily leading to a higher rate of lipid digestion.

Extraction, identification and application of gliadin from gluten: Impact of pH on physicochemical properties of unloaded- and lutein-loaded gliadin nanoparticles. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126638. [PMID: 37673163 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126638] [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: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, high purity gliadin was extracted from gluten by the marginally modified Osborne method and the effect of different pHs in the aqueous ethanol on the physicochemical properties of unloaded gliadin nanoparticles (UGNs) and lutein-loaded gliadin nanoparticles (LGNs) was investigated. The results revealed that the formation of UGNs and LGNs at diverse pHs was driven by a conjunction of hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic effects, but their dominant roles varied at different pHs. pH also significantly impacted the surface hydrophobicity, secondary structure and aromatic amino acid microenvironment of UGNs and LGNs. LGNs at pH 5.0 and at pH 9.0 exhibited better loading capacity and could reach 9.7884 ± 0.0006 % and 9.7360 ± 0.0017 %, respectively. These two samples also had greater photostability and thermal stability. Half-lives of LGNs at pH 5.0 were 2.185 h and 54.579 h, respectively. Half-lives of LGNs at pH 9.0 were 2.937 h and 49.159 h, respectively. LGNs at pH 5.0 and LGNs at pH 9.0 also had higher bioaccessibility of lutein, with 15.98 ± 0.04 % and 15.27 ± 0.03 %, respectively. These findings yielded precious inspirations for designing innovative lutein delivery system.

Abstract
We present a detailed characterisation of locust bean gum (LBG), an industrially significant galactomannan, utilising asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) and light scattering. Molecular weight and size determination of galactomannans is complicated by their tendency to aggregate, even in dilute solutions; AF4 allows us to confirm the presence of aggregates, separate these from well-dispersed polymer, and characterise both fractions. For the dispersed polymer, we find Mw=9.2×105 g mol-1 and Rg,z=82.1 nm; the distribution follows Flory scaling (Rg∼Mν) with ν∼ 0.63, indicating good solvent conditions. The aggregate fraction exhibited radii of up to 1000 nm and masses of up to 3×1010 g mol-1. Furthermore, we demonstrate how both fractions are influenced by changes to filtration procedure and solvent conditions. Notably, a 200 nm nylon membrane effectively removes the aggregated fraction; we present a concentration-dependent investigation of solutions following this protocol, using static and dynamic light scattering, which reveals additional weak aggregation in these unfractionated samples. Overall, we demonstrate that AF4 is highly suited to LBG characterisation, providing structural information for both well-dispersed and aggregated fractions, and expect the methods employed to apply similarly to other galactomannans and associating polymer systems.

Abstract
In this study, the oil-in-water Pickering emulsions were prepared using Haematococcus Pluvialis protein (HPP) particles as an emulsifier by a simple one-step emulsification method. The internal oil phase was as high as 70 % due to the excellent emulsifying properties of HPP, and the average size of oil droplets in the emulsion was around 20 μm. The emulsion prepared by 2.5 % HPP with the oil phase ratio of 70 % showed the best stability after 14 days of storage, and the emulsion could maintain stability at acidic condition, high ionic strength, low and high temperatures. However, all emulsion samples exhibited shear thinning phenomenon, and the higher HPP concentration and oil phase ratio led to greater G' and G″ modulus. NMR relaxation results showed that high concentration HPP could limit the mobility of free water in the emulsion and improve the emulsion stability. The HPP-stabilized emulsion could inhibit the oxidation of oil phase during storage due to the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity of astaxanthin (AST) in HPP. Finally, the nutritional microspheres based on HPP-stabilized emulsion showed good stability in traditional dumplings and could reduce the loss of AST and DHA in algae oil during the boiling of dumplings.

Designing ultra-stable linseed oil-in-water Mickering emulsions using whey protein isolate cold-set microgels containing marjoram aqueous extract: Effect of pH and extract on rheological, physical, and chemical properties. Curr Res Food Sci 2023; 7:100553.

Abstract
In this study, whey protein isolate (WPI) cold-set microgels containing marjoram (Origanum majorana) aqueous extract (MAE) were prepared at different pHs (4.0, 5.0, and 6.0). After characterization, the microgel dispersion was used to stabilize linseed oil-in-water Mickering emulsions (MEs). The resultant MEs were then characterized in terms of physicochemical and rheological properties under the effect of pH and MAE addition. The morphology, particle size, zeta potential, and interfacial tension of microgels were affected by pH and MAE. XRD patterns showed the amorphous structure. Microgel-stabilized MEs did not reveal any significant sign of instability under gravity during 6 months of storage. All MEs had dominant elastic character. Despite the lowest zeta potential values, MEs prepared at pH 4 showed the highest physical stability against gravity but the lowest centrifugal stability against oiling off, which indicated that both viscous and elastic components are required for MEs stability. This sample had the highest apparent viscosity and the strongest viscoelastic properties. Rheological data were best fitted with Herschel-Bulkley and Power Law models. An increase in pH and presence of MAE improved the oxidative stability of MEs. The results of this study showed that WPI microgels are appropriate candidate for long-term stabilization of linseed oil-in-water MEs. The presence of MAE is useful in designing special emulsions in which the aqueous phase is partially replaced by the aqueous extract of medicinal plants.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate for the first time the synthesis of ultra-stable, spherical, nematic liquid crystal (LC) droplets of narrow size polydispersity coated by sustainable, biodegradable, plant-based materials that trigger a typical bipolar-to-radial configurational transition in dynamic response to chemical and biological analytes. Specifically, a highly soluble polymer, potato protein (PoP) and a physically-crosslinked potato protein microgel (PoPM) of ∼100 nm in diameter, prepared from the PoP, a byproduct of the starch industry, were compared for their ability to coat LC droplets. Although both PoP and PoPM were capable of reducing the interfacial tension between water and n-tetradecane <30 mN m-1, PoPM-coated LC droplets showed better stability than the PoP-coated droplets via a Pickering-like mechanism. Strikingly, the Pickering LC droplets outperformed PoP-stabilized droplets in terms of dynamic response with 5× lower detection limit to model chemical analytes (sodium dodecyl sulphate, SDS) due to the difference in SDS-binding features between the protein and the microgel. To eliminate the effect of size polydispersity on the response, monodisperse Pickering LC droplets of diameter ∼16 μm were additionally obtained using microfluidics, which mirrored the response to chemical as well as biological analytes, i.e., primary bile acid, an important biomarker of liver diseases. We demonstrate that these eco-friendly microgels used for creating monodisperse, ultra-stable, LC complex colloids are powerful templates for fabricating next generation, sustainable optical sensors for early diagnosis in clinical settings and other sensing applications.

Abstract
High internal phase Pickering emulsion (HIPPE) is a type of emulsion stabilized by solid particles irreversibly adsorbed on an interfacial film, and the volume fraction of the dispersed phase (Φ) is larger than the maximum packing volume fraction (Φmax). Proteins, polysaccharides, and their composite particles can be used as good particle stabilizers. The contact angle can most intuitively demonstrate the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the particles and also determines the type of emulsions (O/W or W/O type). Particles' three-phase contact angles can be adjusted to about 90° by compounding or modification, which is more conducive to emulsion stability. As a shear thinning pseudoplastic fluid, HIPPE can be extruded smoothly through 3D printer nozzles, and its high storage modulus can support the structure of printed products. There is huge potential for future applications in 3D printing of food. This work reviewed the biomacromolecules that can be used to stabilize food-grade HIPPE, the stabilization mechanism of the emulsions, and the research progress of food 3D printing to provide a reference for the development of advanced food products based on HIPPE.
