[PMID: 38777020 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132449] [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: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Sensitive substances have attracted wide attention due to their rich functional activities, such as antibiosis activities, antioxidant activities and prevent disease, etc. However, the low stability of sensitive substances limits their bioavailability and functional activities. Protein-based microcapsules can encapsulate sensitive substances to improve their adverse properties due to their good stability, strong emulsifying ability and wide source. Therefore, it is necessary to fully elaborate and summarize protein-based microcapsules to maximize their potential benefits in nutritional interventions. The focus of this review is to highlight the classification of protein-based microcapsules. In addition, the principles, advantages and disadvantages of preparation methods for protein-based microcapsules are summarized. Some novel preparation methods for protein-based microcapsules are also emphasized. Moreover, the mechanism of protein-based microcapsules that release sensitive substances in vitro is elucidated and summarized. Furthermore, the applications of protein-based microcapsules are outlined. Protein-based microcapsules can effectively encapsulate sensitive substances, which improve their bioavailability, and provide protective effects during storage and gastrointestinal digestion. In addition, microcapsules can improve the sensory quality of food and enhance its stability. The performance of protein-based microcapsules for delivering sensitive substances is influenced by factors such as protein type, the ratio between protein ratio and the other wall material, the preparation process, etc. Future research should focus on the new composite protein-based microcapsule delivery system, which can be applied to in vivo research and have synergistic effects and precise nutritional functions. In summary, protein-based microcapsules have broader research prospects in the functional foods and nutrition field.

Yu H, Kong Q, Wang M, Han Z, Xu J. Improved viability of probiotics by encapsulation in chickpea protein matrix during simulated gastrointestinal digestion by succinylated modification. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129614. [PMID: 38246468 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129614] [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: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
The potential application of succinylated chickpea protein (SCP) as a wall material for spray-dried microencapsulated probiotics was investigated. The results showed that succinylation increased the surface charge of chickpea proteins (CP) and reduced the particle size of the proteins. Meanwhile, succinylated modification decreased the solubility of protein under acidic conditions and increased the solubility in alkaline conditions. The effects of spray drying and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on probiotics were investigated by microencapsulating chickpea protein with different degrees of N-succinylation. The results showed that all microcapsules had similar morphology, particle size and low water content. The microcapsules prepared by succinylated chickpea protein showed better stability and viability during spray drying and gastrointestinal digestion. The protective effect of probiotics was better as the degree of N-succinylation increased. In particular, the SCP-3-P sample (10 % succinic anhydride modified CP and maltodextrin) lost only 0.29 Log CFU/g throughout gastrointestinal digestion. The superior protective effect provided by succinylated CP in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) was mainly attributed to the reaction of succinic anhydride with protein to cause protein aggregation under gastric acidic conditions, reducing the infiltration of gastric acid and pepsin and maintaining the structural integrity of the microcapsules. Therefore, these findings provide a new strategy for probiotic intestinal delivery and application of chickpea protein.

Fernandes Almeida R, Gouveia Gomes MH, Kurozawa LE. Enzymatic hydrolysis improves the encapsulation properties of rice bran protein by increasing retention of anthocyanins in microparticles of grape juice. Food Res Int 2024; 180:114090. [PMID: 38395563 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114090] [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: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
There is a growing demand for the food industry to find appealing matrices that display a clean and sustainable label capable of replacing animal proteins in the encapsulation market for natural pigments. Therefore, this study evaluated the impact of enzymatic hydrolysis by Flavourzyme protease on the encapsulation properties of rice bran proteins, aiming to protect anthocyanins in grape juice microparticles. To achieve this, rice bran protein hydrolysates (RPH) with low (5%, LRPH), medium (10%, MRPH), and high (15%, HRPH) degrees of hydrolysis (DH) were used combined with maltodextrin as carrier agents for the microencapsulation of grape juice by spray drying. The feed solutions contained 1 g of carrier agents (CA)/g of soluble solids from the juice (SS) and protein: a 15% CA ratio. Non-hydrolyzed rice protein was used as a carrier agent to obtain a control sample to evaluate the effect of enzymatic hydrolysis on the microencapsulation of grape juice. Protein modification increased the surface activity of the protein and its ability to migrate to the surface of the microparticles, forming a protective film, as observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Using HRPH as a carrier agent combined with maltodextrin improved the internal and total anthocyanin retention, antioxidant capacity measured by DPPH and ABTS+ assays, and powder recovery compared to the control sample, and increased DH reduced particle size and powder stickiness. These particles were more homogeneous, rough, and without cracks. The microencapsulation efficiency was above 70%. All powders exhibited low values of hygroscopicity and degree of caking. Therefore, enzymatic hydrolysis proves to be a promising alternative for improving rice bran protein's encapsulating properties since using RPH as an encapsulating agent conferred greater protection of anthocyanins in microparticles. Moreover, the HRPH sample exhibited the most favorable outcomes overall, indicating its potential for prospective utilization in the market, supported by its elevated Tg.

Almeida RF, Gomes MHG, Kurozawa LE. Rice bran protein increases the retention of anthocyanins by acting as an encapsulating agent in the spray drying of grape juice. Food Res Int 2023; 172:113237. [PMID: 37689965 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023]
Abstract
Rice bran protein concentrate (RPC), an industrial by-product, may emerge as a green alternative for substituting animal proteins in microencapsulating compounds of interest. This study applied RPC, combined with maltodextrin (MD) as carrier agents, in the spray drying of grape juice, a product rich in these bioactive compounds, seeking to protect anthocyanins from degradation. The effects of carrier agent concentration [C: 0.75, 1.00, and 1.25 g of carrier agents (CA)/g of soluble solids of the juice (SS)] and RPC:CA ratio (P: 0%, as a control sample, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) on anthocyanin retention and powder properties were evaluated. At 1.00 g CA/g SS, the internal and total retentions of anthocyanins improved by 2.4 and 3.2 times, respectively, when the RPC:CA ratio increased from 0% to 20%. The protein also exhibited excellent surface activity on the grape juice and positively influenced the physicochemical properties of the microparticles. There was a reduction in stickiness, degree of caking, and hygroscopicity, in addition to an increased antioxidant capacity when protein was used in combination with MD, especially at 1.00 and 1.25 g CA/g SS. Therefore, this study demonstrated that RPC could enhance the protection of anthocyanins during the spray drying of grape juice.

Abstract
Rice protein is a high-quality plant-based protein source that is gluten-free, with high biological value and low allergenicity. However, the low solubility of rice protein not only affects its functional properties such as emulsification, gelling, and water-holding capacity but also greatly limits its applications in the food industry. Therefore, it is crucial to modify and improve the solubility of rice protein. In summary, this article discusses the underlying causes of the low solubility of rice protein, including the presence of high contents of hydrophobic amino acid residues, disulfide bonds, and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Additionally, it covers the shortcomings of traditional modification methods and the latest compound improvement methods, compares various modification methods, and puts forward the best sustainable, economical, and environmentally friendly method. Finally, this article lists the uses of modified rice protein in dairy, meat, and baked goods, providing a reference for the extensive application of rice protein in the food industry.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to determine the efficacy of ultrasound-treatment Saccharomyces cerevisiae and spray drying in preserving the viability of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. The combination of ultrasound-treated S. cerevisiae and L. plantarum was evaluated. Next, the mixture was blended with maltodextrin and either Stevia rebaudiana-extracted fluid, prior to undergoing spray drying. The L. plantarum viability was assessed after the spray drying process, during storage, and in simulated digestive fluid (SDF) conditions. The results showed that the impact of ultrasound caused the crack and holes in the yeast cell wall. Besides, the moisture content values were not significantly different in all samples after spray drying. Although the amount of powder recovery in stevia-supplemented samples was not higher than that of the control sample, the L. plantarum viability was significantly improved after the spray drying process. The density of L. plantarum tended to be stable during the first 30 days of storage and decreased more rapidly after that. The results reveal that there was no statistically significant difference in the trend of the samples before and after storage. In the SDF test, the L. plantarum viability mixing with ultrasound-treated yeast cells in the spray drying samples was significantly improved. Besides, the presence of Stevia showed positive efficiency on the L. plantarum viability. The L. plantarum viability mixing with ultrasound-treated yeast cells and stevia-extracted fluid by spray drying process showed potential application due to making powder form which helped to improve the L. plantarum stability during the storage time.
