Abstract
For the development of innovative foods and nutritional fortification, research into food gel is essential. As two types of rich natural gel material, both legume proteins and polysaccharides have high nutritional value and excellent application potential, attracting wide attention worldwide. Research has focused on combining legume proteins with polysaccharides to form hybrid hydrogels as their combinations show improved texture and water retention compared to single legume protein or single polysaccharide gels, and these properties can be tailored for specific applications. This article reviews hydrogels of common legume proteins and discusses heat induction, pH induction, salt ion induction, and enzyme-induced assembly of legume protein/polysaccharide mixtures. The applications of these hydrogels in fat replacement, satiety enhancement, and delivery of bioactive ingredients are discussed. Challenges for future work are also highlighted.

Rheological properties, gel properties and 3D printing performance of soy protein isolate gel inks added with different types of apricot polysaccharides. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124624. [PMID: 37119894 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023]
Abstract
A soybean protein isolate (SPI)-apricot polysaccharide gel with hypolipidemic activity that can be used for 3D printing was prepared and the mechanism of its gel formation was studied in this work. The results demonstrated that adding apricot polysaccharide to SPI could effectively improve the bound water content, viscoelastic properties and rheological properties of the gels. Low-field NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy and surface hydrophobicity confirmed that the interactions between SPI and apricot polysaccharide were mainly realized by electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, adding modified polysaccharide treated by ultrasonic-assisted Fenton method to SPI on the basis of low-concentration apricot polysaccharide contributed to improving the 3D printing accuracy and stability of the gel. Consequently, the gel formed by adding apricot polysaccharide (0.5 %, m/v) and modified polysaccharide (0.1 %, m/v) to SPI had the best hypolipidemic activity (the binding rate of sodium taurocholate and sodium glycocholate were 75.33 % and 72.86 %, respectively) and 3D printing characteristics.

Pocan P, Grunin L, Oztop MH. Effect of Different Syrup Types on Turkish Delights ( Lokum): A TD-NMR Relaxometry Study. ACS FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 2022; 2:1819-1831.

Abstract
Turkish delights were formulated by using sucrose (control) and different types of corn syrups (having varying glucose/fructose ratios) and allulose syrup. 30% allulose syrup and 30% sucrose-containing Turkish delights were found to exhibit an amorphous structure. Time-domain NMR relaxometry experiments were also conducted on delights by measuring T 2 relaxation times, and two distinct proton populations were observed in all formulations. The use of different syrup types at different substitution levels led to significant changes in the relaxation times (T 2a and T 2b) of the samples, indicating that the relaxation spectrum might be used as a fingerprint for Turkish delights containing different types and amounts of syrup types. Second moment (M 2) values which were measured from the signal acquired using a magic sandwich echo pulse sequence were also found to be an effective and promising indicator to detect the crystallinity of Turkish delights.

Abstract
Rare sugars are monosaccharides and their derivatives that are not commonly found in nature. d-Allulose is a rare sugar that is C-3 epimer of fructose and presents an alternative to sucrose with potential health benefits. In this study, different amounts of sucrose, d-allulose, and soy protein isolate (SPI) were used to prepare a set of pectin gels. The effect of these ingredients on the gels was studied at both a molecular level, by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry, and a macroscopic level, through the assessment of viscoelastic properties as well as hardness and moisture content measurements. The NMR dispersion profiles were analyzed considering relaxation mechanisms associated with rotational and translational diffusion motions of mono- and disaccharides as well as bound water molecules. Significant variations of the local diffusion coefficient for the studied formulations were evidenced by the model fitting analysis. The viscosity trends observed within each group of samples having the same amount of SPI were mostly in agreement with the diffusion coefficients obtained from the NMR relaxometry. The observed discrepancies could be explained considering hardness and moisture content results, which put into evidence the fact that decreasing the moisture (mainly free water) affects the macroscopic properties of the systems, such as hardness and viscosity, but not the local diffusion processes probed by NMR relaxometry. These findings show the importance of combining both micro- and macroscopic information to analyze the different properties of food products.

Abstract
d-allulose has a significant application value as a sugar substitute, not only as a food ingredient and dietary supplement, but also with various physiological functions, such as improving insulin resistance, anti-obesity, and regulating glucolipid metabolism. Over the decades, the physiological functions of d-allulose and the corresponding mechanisms have been studied deeply, and this product has been applied to various foods to enhance food quality and prolong shelf life. In recent years, biotransformation technologies for the production of d-allulose using enzymatic approaches have gained more attention. However, there are few comprehensive reviews on this topic. This review focuses on the recent research advances of d-allulose, including (1) the physiological functions of d-allulose; (2) the major enzyme families used for the biotransformation of d-allulose and their microbial origins; (3) phylogenetic and structural characterization of d-allulose 3-epimerases, and the directed evolution methods for the enzymes; (4) heterologous expression of d-allulose ketose 3-epimerases and biotransformation techniques for d-allulose; and (5) production processes for biotransformation of d-allulose based on the characterized enzymes. Furthermore, the future trends on biosynthesis and applications of d-allulose in food and health industries are discussed and evaluated in this review.
