Nano casein-pectin complex: exploring physicochemical, organoleptic properties, and LAB viability in skimmed milk and low-fat yoghurt. Front Nutr 2024; 10:1288202. [PMID: 38268670 PMCID: PMC10806235 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1288202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Protein complexes with a nutritional value, heat stability, and gelling properties with no negative impact on culture viability have promising application prospects in the fermentation industry. The aim of the study was to investigate the possibility of applying physical modification seeking high-protein-fortified yoghurt production using the nano casein-pectin NCP complex as an active colloidal system with enhanced structural and thermal properties and monitor the quality properties of the physicochemical, heat stability, rheological, starter culture viability and sensory evaluation of fortified products comparing with the plain control throughout the cold storage. High-energy ball milling (HEBM) technique was used to produce nanoparticles of casein powder and smaller particles of pectin individually, and particle size and zeta potential was assessed. Deferent Nano casein-pectin (NCP) complex formulations were prepared, their physicochemical properties were assessed including protein quality via Amino Acid Analyzer (AAA), viscosity, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and then used in fortification of skimmed milk and low-fat yoghurt to monitor the fortification effects. The particle sizes showed to be ≈166 nm and 602.6 nm for nano-casein and pectin, respectively. Milk fortification with the NCP complex has significantly increased the nutritional value represented in increased protein content (7.19 g/100 g in NCP5); Ca, P, and S content (2,193.11, 481.21, and 313.77 ppm); and amino acid content with first limiting amino acids; histidine (0.89 mg/g), methionine (0.89 mg/g), and low content of hydrophobic amino acids (HAAs) may cause aggregation. NPC fortification enhanced physicochemical properties announced in enhanced viscosity (62. mP.s in NCP5) and heat stability (up to 200°C) compared with control skimmed milk (SM). NCP yoghurt fortification significantly increased protein content to 11 mg/100 g in T5, enhanced viscosity to 48.44 mP.s in T3, decreased syneresis to 16% in T5, and enhanced LAB viability which was translated in preferable sensorial properties. Applying fortification with nanoparticles of the casein-pectin (NCP) complex balanced the amino acid content and improved physicochemical, rheological, nutritional, and sensorial properties and LAB viability, which can be recommended further in functional food applications.

Abstract
Stabilization and reusability of enzyme transglutaminase (TGM) are important goals for the enzymatic process since immobilizing TGM plays an important role in different technologies and industries. TGM can be used in many applications. In the food industry, it plays a role as a protein-modifying enzyme, while, in biotechnology and pharmaceutical applications, it is used in mediated bioconjugation due to its extraordinary crosslinking ability. TGMs (EC 2.3.2.13) are enzymes that catalyze the formation of a covalent bond between a free amino group of protein-bound or peptide-bound lysine, which acts as an acyl acceptor, and the γ-carboxamide group of protein-bound or peptide-bound glutamine, which acts as an acyl donor. This results in the modification of proteins through either intramolecular or intermolecular crosslinking, which improves the use of the respective proteins significantly.

Hammam ARA, Kapoor R, Metzger LE. Manufacture of a novel cultured micellar casein concentrate ingredient for emulsifying salt free process cheese products applications. J Dairy Sci 2023; 106:3137-3154. [PMID: 36907765 DOI: 10.3168/jds.2022-22652] [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: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 03/12/2023]
Abstract
Micellar casein concentrate (MCC) is a high protein ingredient that is typically produced using 3 stages of microfiltration with a 3× concentration factor and diafiltration. Acid curd is an acid protein concentrate, which can be obtained by precipitating the casein at pH 4.6 (isoelectric point) using starter cultures or direct acids without the use of rennet. Process cheese product (PCP) is a dairy food prepared by blending dairy ingredients with nondairy ingredients and then heating the mixture to get a product with an extended shelf-life. Emulsifying salts are critical for the desired functional characteristics of PCP because of their role in calcium sequestration and pH adjustment. The objectives of this study were to develop a process to produce a novel cultured micellar casein concentrate ingredient (cMCC; culture-based acid curd) and to produce PCP without emulsifying salts using different combinations of protein from cMCC and MCC in the formulations (2.0:1.0, 1.9:1.1, and 1.8:1.2). Skim milk was pasteurized at 76°C for 16 s and then microfiltered in 3 microfiltration stages using graded permeability ceramic membranes to produce liquid MCC (11.15% total protein; TPr and 14.06% total solids; TS). Part of the liquid MCC was spray dried to produce MCC powder (75.77% TPr and 97.84% TS). The rest of the MCC was used to produce cMCC (86.9% TPr and 96.4% TS). Three PCP treatments were formulated with different ratios of cMCC:MCC, including 2.0:1.0, 1.9:1.1, and 1.8:1.2 on the protein basis. The composition of PCP was targeted to 19.0% protein, 45.0% moisture, 30.0% fat, and 2.4% salt. This trial was repeated 3 times using different batches of cMCC and MCC powders. All PCP were evaluated for their final functional properties. No significant differences were detected in the composition of PCP made with different ratios of cMCC and MCC except for the pH. The pH was expected to increase slightly with elevating the MCC amount in the PCP formulations. The end apparent viscosity was significantly higher in 2.0:1.0 formulation (4,305 cP) compared with 1.9:1.1 (2,408 cP) and 1.8:1.2 (2,499 cP). The hardness ranged from 407 to 512 g with no significant differences within the formulations. However, the melting temperature showed significant differences with 2.0:1.0 having the highest melting temperature (54.0°C), whereas 1.9:1.1 and 1.8:1.2 showed 43.0 and 42.0°C melting temperature, respectively. The melting diameter (38.8 to 43.9 mm) and melt area (1,183.9 to 1,538.6 mm2) did not show any differences in different PCP formulations. The PCP made with a 2.0:1.0 ratio of protein from cMCC and MCC showed better functional properties compared with other formulations.
