Foods 2024; 13:1913. [PMID: 38928854 PMCID: PMC11203268 DOI: 10.3390/foods13121913] [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: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Yak milk, known as the "liquid gold", is a nutritious food with extensive consumption. Compared with cow milk, yak milk contains higher levels of nutrients such as dry matter, milk fat, and milk protein, which demonstrates great potential for exploitation and utilization. Protein kinase cGMP-dependent 1 (PRKG1) is an important functional molecule in the cGMP signaling pathway, and its significant influence on milk fatty acids has been discovered. The aim of this study is to explore the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PRKG1 gene and the quality traits of Gannan yak milk in order to identify candidate molecular markers for Gannan yak breeding. In this study, genotyping was performed on 172 healthy, 4-5-year-old lactating Gannan yaks with similar body types, naturally grazed, and two to three parity. Three SNPs (g.404195C>T, g.404213C>T, and g.760138T>C) were detected in the PRKG1 gene of Gannan yaks, which were uniformly distributed in the yak population. Linkage disequilibrium analysis was conducted, revealing complete linkage disequilibrium between g.404195C>T and g.404213C>T. After conducting a correlation analysis between SNPs in the PRKG1 gene and milk quality in Gannan yaks, we found that PRKG1 SNPs significantly increased the content of casein, protein, and SNFs in yak milk. Among them, the TT homozygous genotype at the PRKG1 g.404195C>T loci exhibited higher casein and protein contents compared to the CC and CT genotypes (p < 0.05). The SNP g.760138T>C locus was associated with casein, protein, SNFs, and TS traits (p < 0.05). The CC genotype had higher casein and protein contents than the TT and TA genotypes (p < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in milk fat, lactose, and acidity among the three genotypes (p > 0.05). In summary, PRKG1 gene polymorphism can serve as a candidate molecular marker for improving milk quality in Gannan yaks.

Abstract
Milk is a source of many valuable nutrients, including minerals, vitamins and proteins, with an important role in adult health. Milk and dairy products naturally containing or with added probiotics have healthy functional food properties. Indeed, probiotic microorganisms, which beneficially affect the host by improving the intestinal microbial balance, are recognized to affect the immune response and other important biological functions. In addition to macronutrients and micronutrients, biologically active peptides (BPAs) have been identified within the amino acid sequences of native milk proteins; hydrolytic reactions, such as those catalyzed by digestive enzymes, result in their release. BPAs directly influence numerous biological pathways evoking behavioral, gastrointestinal, hormonal, immunological, neurological, and nutritional responses. The addition of BPAs to food products or application in drug development could improve consumer health and provide therapeutic strategies for the treatment or prevention of diseases. Herein, we review the scientific literature on probiotics, BPAs in milk and dairy products, with special attention to milk from minor species (buffalo, sheep, camel, yak, donkey, etc.); safety assessment will be also taken into consideration. Finally, recent advances in foodomics to unveil the probiotic role in human health and discover novel active peptide sequences will also be provided.

Abstract
Yak milk is a characteristic animal product of yaks in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Although yak milk production is low, it is richer in nutrients such as protein, fat, and lactose, a more comprehensive range of bioactive components, and unique microbial resources than Holstein cow milk. The plateau environment makes yak milk resistant to hypoxia, anti-fatigue, antioxidant, antibacterial, and relieves chronic diseases. In this paper, based on the systematic analysis of yak milk research results in the past 20 years using CiteSpace 6.1.R2, we reviewed yak lactation performance and nutritional efficacy of yak milk. This paper summarizes the improvement of traditional yak dairy processing technology, and also focuses on the microbial diversity of yak milk sources and their beneficial effects. The purpose of this review is to provide scientific support for the development of a quality yak milk industry on the Tibetan plateau.

Abstract
Human milk is considered the most valuable form of nutrition for infants for their growth, development and function. So far, there are still some cases where feeding human milk is not feasible. As a result, the market for infant formula is widely increasing, and formula feeding become an alternative or substitute for breastfeeding. The nutritional value of the formula can be improved by adding functional bioactive compounds like probiotics, prebiotics, human milk oligosaccharides, vitamins, minerals, taurine, inositol, osteopontin, lactoferrin, gangliosides, carnitine etc. For processing of infant formula, diverse thermal and non-thermal technologies have been employed. Infant formula can be either in powdered form, which requires reconstitution with water or in ready-to-feed liquid form, among which powder form is readily available, shelf-stable and vastly marketed. Infants' gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem and the nutrient composition of infant formula is recognized to have a lasting effect on it. Likewise, the gut microbiota establishment closely parallels with host immune development and growth. Therefore, it must be contemplated as an important factor for consideration while developing formulas. In this review, we have focused on the formulation and manufacturing of safe and nutritious infant formula equivalent to human milk or aligning with the infant's needs and its ultimate impact on infants' gut microbiota.

Abstract
The yak is a special species that inhabits the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its surrounding areas. Its unique habitat gives yak milk certain distinct characteristics compared to regular cow milk. Yak milk not only has a high nutritional value but also holds potential benefits for human health. In recent years, there has been increasing research attention on yak milk. Studies have found that the bioactive components in yak milk have various functional properties, including antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, blood pressure-lowering, anti-fatigue, and constipation-relieving effects. However, more evidence is needed to confirm these functions in the human body. Therefore, by reviewing the current research status on the nutrition and functionality of yak milk, we aim to reveal its enormous potential as a source of nutritional and functional substances. This article primarily analyzed the nutritional composition of yak milk and the functional effects of its bioactive components, categorically elucidated the mechanisms behind its functional activities, and provided a brief introduction to related yak milk products. Our objective is to deepen people's understanding of yak milk and provide some references for its further development and utilization.

Abstract
The growing consumer awareness towards healthy and safe food has reformed food processing strategies. Nowadays, food processors are aiming at natural, effective, safe, and low-cost substitutes for enhancing the shelf life of food products. Milk, besides being a rich source of nutrition for infants and adults, serves as a readily available source of precious functional peptides. Due to the existence of high genetic variability in milk proteins, there is a great possibility to get bioactive peptides with varied properties. Among other bioactive agents, milk-originated antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are gaining interest as attractive and safe additive conferring extended shelf life to minimally processed foods. These peptides display broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoans. Microbial proteolytic activity, extracellular peptidases, food-grade enzymes, and recombinant DNA technology application are among few strategies to tailor specific peptides from milk and enhance their production. These bioprotective agents have a promising future in addressing the global concern of food safety along with the possibility to be incorporated into the food matrix without compromising overall consumer acceptance. Additionally, in conformity to the current consumer demands, these AMPs also possess functional properties needed for value addition. This review attempts to present the basic properties, synthesis approaches, action mechanism, current status, and prospects of antimicrobial peptide application in food, dairy, and pharma industry along with their role in ensuring the safety and health of consumers.

Abstract
Aims: This systematic review was carried out to determine whether synthetic peptidomimetics exhibit significant advantages over antimicrobial peptides in terms of in vitro potency. Structural features - molecular weight, charge and length - were examined for correlations with activity. Methods: Original research articles reporting minimum inhibitory concentration values against Escherichia coli, indexed until 31 December 2020, were searched in PubMed/ScienceDirect/Google Scholar and evaluated using mixed-effects models. Results: In vitro antimicrobial activity of peptidomimetics resembled that of antimicrobial peptides. Net charge significantly affected minimum inhibitory concentration values (p < 0.001) with a trend of 4.6% decrease for increments in charge by +1. Conclusion: AMPs and antibacterial peptidomimetics exhibit similar potencies, providing an opportunity to exploit the advantageous stability and bioavailability typically associated with peptidomimetics.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, molecular characteristics and antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from yak butter in Tibet, China. A total of 218 yak butter samples were collected from retail stores in Tibet and screened for Staph. aureus. Furthermore, the virulence genes, resistance genes, antimicrobial susceptibility, and molecular typing [pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus sequence typing, and staphylococcal protein A (spa) typing] of Staph. aureus isolates were detected. The results showed that 12.4% of yak butter samples were contaminated with Staph. aureus, including 5 samples positive for methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus (MRSA). Among all isolates, 96.3% harbored one or more virulence genes, including classical (sea and sec), novel enterotoxin-encoding genes (seh, sek, sel, and seq), and hemolysin genes (hla and hld). All isolates were resistant to at least 2 different antibiotic classes, and the isolates were most commonly resistant to sulfonamides, β-lactams, and erythromycin. For resistance genes, blaZ (74.1%) was most frequently detected, followed by dfrG (51.9%), erm(B) (22.2%), mecA (18.5%), tet(K) (14.8%), aph(2″)-Ia, aph(3')-III, and ant(6)-Ia (11.1% for each), and erm(C) (7.4%). We detected 8 spa types, 6 sequence types (ST), and 5 clonal complex (CC) types. In addition, 1 isolate of Staph. aureus was nontypeable. We found that CC1-ST1-t559 (55.6%) was the most predominant clone, followed by CC59-ST59-t437 (11.1%), CC5-ST5-t002 (7.4%), CC1-ST1, CC1-ST1-t114, CC1-ST573-t4938, CC1-ST573-t8915, CC30-ST30-t021, and CC25-ST25-t167 (3.7% for each). For PFGE typing, a total of 5 clusters and 15 pulsotypes were generated, and some isolates from different samples showed indistinguishable pulsotypes. Our findings suggest that yak butter produced in Tibet, China, could be contaminated by Staph. aureus strains, including MRSA strains, carrying various virulence and resistance genes, representing multiple antimicrobial resistance phenotypes. The presence of potentially virulent and antibiotic-resistant Staph. aureus strains in yak butter poses a potential threat to consumers, and appropriate measures need to be taken in the production chain to reduce the occurrence of Staph. aureus in yak butter.

Abstract
Milk from different species has been exploited for the isolation of various functional ingredients for decades. Irrespective of the source, milk is considered as a complete food, as it provides essential nutrients required by the human body. Proteins and their fractions are valuable sources of bioactive peptides that might exert a health beneficial role in the human body such as immune-modulation, antioxidant activity, ACE-inhibitory activity, anti-neoplastic, anti-microbial, etc. In milk, bioactive peptides may either be present in their natural form or released from their parental proteins due to enzymatic action. The increasing interest in bioactive peptides among researchers has lately augmented the exploration of minor dairy species such as sheep, goat, camel, mithun, mare, and donkey. Alternative to cow, milk from minor dairy species have also been proven to be healthier from infancy to older age owing to their higher digestibility and other nutritive components. Therefore, realizing the significance of milk from such species and incentivized interest towards the derivatization of bioactive peptides, the present review highlights the significant research achievements on bioactive peptides from milk and milk products of minor dairy species.

Abstract
We aimed to isolate antimicrobial peptides from Porphyra yezoensis. Enzymatic hydrolysate of P. yezoensis was purified by ultrafiltration, molecular sieve chromatography, and ion exchange chromatography sequentially. A novel peptide with strong antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus was isolated and the amino acid sequence was identified to be Thr-Pro-Asp-Ser-Glu-Ala-Leu (TPDSEAL). Physical and chemical properties and antimicrobial activity of the peptide were determined. The antimicrobial mechanism was studied. The antimicrobial activity of TPDSEAL kept stable under acidic or basic conditions, high temperature, and ultraviolet radiation. The antimicrobial mechanism of antimicrobial peptides may damage the cell wall and membrane, and enhance the permeability of cells, which leads to the outflow of intracellular substances and death of bacteria. This study provides novel insight into the preparation of marine-derived antimicrobial peptides. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Antimicrobial peptides, which act as defensive weapons against microbes, have been broadly used as food additives in food industry. Due to the limited amount of natural antimicrobial peptides in organisms and the high cost of chemical synthesis, producing novel natural antimicrobial peptides with bioengineering methods has become an urgent task. In the present study, we prepared a novel antimicrobial peptide from pepsin-digested hydrolysate of Porphyra yezoensis using ultrafiltration, molecular sieve chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, and mass spectrometry analysis. A novel peptide with strong antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus was isolated and the amino acid sequence was identified to be Thr-Pro-Asp-Ser-Glu-Ala-Leu (TPDSEAL). The identified peptide exhibits great stability under acidic or basic conditions, high temperature, and ultraviolet radiation. Mechanism revealed that TPDSEAL treatment may damage the cell wall and membrane, enhance the permeability of cells, and lead to the death of bacteria. Our study provides the novel insight into the preparation of marine-derived antimicrobial peptides.
