This study aimed to develop lactoferrin-polyphenol-polysaccharide (LF-EGCG-BP) ternary covalent complexes to improve the stability and 3D printing performance of fish oil high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) stabilized by lactoferrin-polyphenol (LF-EGCG) binary covalent complex. The effects of beet pectin (BP) on the physicochemical properties, structure, interfacial behavior, rheological properties and stability of LF-EGCG HIPEs were investigated. Results showed that the fluorescence quenching mechanism of BP on LF-EGCG was static quenching. BP (especially at 20:1 (w/w)) efficiently improved the stability of LF-EGCG HIPEs by enhancing the mechanical property of interfacial films and network structure. After the addition of BP, the droplet size of HIPEs was reduced, lipid oxidation stability, physical stability, and multiple light scattering stability were increased. Raman spectra showed that the interaction between oil phase and aqueous phase of HIPEs was enhanced after the introduce of BP. The free fatty acids (FFA) release in HIPEs stabilized by LF-EGCG-BP was decreased. Meanwhile, BP increased the viscoelasticity, recovery and gel strength of HIPEs, giving the HIPE inks better 3D printing integrity and clarity.
本研究旨在开发乳铁蛋白-多酚-多糖(LF-EGCG-BP)三元共价复合物,以改善由乳铁蛋白-多酚(LF-EGCG)二元共价复合物稳定的鱼油高内相乳液(HIPEs)的稳定性和3D打印性能。研究了甜菜果胶(BP)对 LF-EGCG HIPE 的理化性质、结构、界面行为、流变性质和稳定性的影响。结果表明,BP 对 LF-EGCG 的荧光淬灭机制是静态淬灭。BP(尤其是 20:1 (w/w))通过提高界面薄膜的机械性能和网络结构,有效地改善了 LF-EGCG HIPE 的稳定性。添加 BP 后,HIPE 的液滴尺寸减小,脂质氧化稳定性、物理稳定性和多重光散射稳定性均有所提高。拉曼光谱显示,引入 BP 后,HIPEs 油相和水相之间的相互作用增强。LF-EGCG-BP 稳定的 HIPE 中游离脂肪酸(FFA)的释放量减少。同时,BP 增加了 HIPE 的粘弹性、恢复性和凝胶强度,使 HIPE 油墨具有更好的 3D 打印完整性和清晰度。

Here, we explored the effect of carvacrol on growth, gene expression, and putrescine accumulation in O. proteus isolated from Xinjiang sausages. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyze the cell morphology of the test bacteria. Reverse transcription real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the gene expression of arginine decarboxylase and ornithine decarboxylase in the test bacteria at different carvacrol concentrations, and single-molecule real-time sequencing was used to identify the species composition in sausage. Moreover, relevant parameters like putrescine accumulation and microbial growth were evaluated. Results showed that the production of putrescine was not only dependent on putrescine-producing strains, but also on the expression of key genes in the putrescine production pathway. Carvacrol was found to inhibit the growth of putrescine-producing strains and decrease putrescine accumulation by releasing O. proteus content, while also reducing putrescine levels through the downregulation of arginine decarboxylase (adiA) and ornithine decarboxylase (speF) genes involved in the putrescine biosynthesis pathway. Moreover, carvacrol significantly reduced the abundance of harmful bacteria (Enterobacteria and Pseudomonas) and the putrescine content in the sausage. Consequently, adding carvacrol extracted from spices to sausages is an effective means to inhibit putrescine content.

This study focused on understanding the effects of protein-phenolic acid complexes on structural changes and meltdown behavior in ice cream. Three phenolic acids (4-hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, and gallic acid) at two concentrations (2 and 10 mg/g) were individually investigated. Compared to control ice cream, 2 and 10 mg/g phenolic acid increased the induction time for the first drip by 175–200% and 200–292%, respectively. Ice cream with gallic acid and vanillic acid at 10 mg/g exhibited the lowest meltdown rates compared to other treatments. Addition of phenolic acids caused reduction of ice cream pH (4.92–6.13), overrun (23.11–69.02%), consistency coefficient (9.47–175.56 Pa sn), and melting enthalpy (154,320–193,330 J/kg), while increasing the apparent viscosity (478.37–8770.17 mPa s), flow behavior index (0.42–0.62), and fat globule size (2.22–10.53 μm). Fluorescence spectroscopy analysis of a model ice cream mix indicated the presence of protein-phenolic acid interactions. Microscope images of ice cream samples treated with SDS and EDTA further suggested that protein-phenolic acid interactions help create fat aggregation. These findings indicate that addition of phenolic acid to an ice cream mix affects its microstructure by generating protein-phenolic acid complexes that cause protein-mediated fat aggregation, altering the ice cream's viscosity properties and resulting in a lower meltdown rate.

This work proposes a new strategy to obtain cellular solids of spirulin (SP) cells and whey protein (WP) using the aerogel production process. To this aim, aqueous suspensions containing 20 g/100g of a mixture of WP and SP in different ratios, were submitted to thermal gelation. The obtained hydrogels were characterised by an intense green colour and the typical unpleasant fishy odour of spirulin. Hydrogels were then submitted to ethanol solvent exchange and supercritical-CO2 drying, leading to hybrid aerogels, which were analysed for physical properties (color, density, volume contraction, firmness, microstructure). The conversion of hydrogels into aerogels partially reduced their green colour. The increase in SP in the aerogel progressively decreased its firmness, so that the aerogels obtained from suspensions containing more than 10 g/100g spirulin were not able to maintain the continuity of the aerogel network. The latter was demonstrated by SEM to consist of dried WP microgels organised in a tri-dimensional architecture embedding SP cells. The aerogel obtained from 10 g/100g SP suspension, did not swell or disintegrate upon absorption of both water and oil. Sensory analysis also showed this sample to have negligible SP odour. These results open new possibilities in the development of hybrid cellular solids with neutral sensory properties, posing the basis for a new approach to the engineering of food tissue analogues.

Squid skin is rich in collagen and a high-quality source of bioactive peptides. This study aimed to identify novel antioxidant peptides derived from squid skin and to explore their potential molecular mechanism using in silico and in vitro approaches. Two novel peptides QDGFQGAH and SGDNLRFP were identified and demonstrated disparate of free radical scavenging and cytoprotective activities. Subsequent investigations exhibited that peptides were capable of reducing intracellular MDA level, and elevating the levels of antioxidant enzymes, including SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px. Furthermore, compared to the control, the expressions of Nrf2 treated with peptides were increased, while the levels of Keap1 were decreased, and the peptide QDGFQGAH showed the best activity. Molecular docking and dynamic simulations demonstrated that the peptides could form stable interactions with key residues of Keap1 by influencing the amino acid regions (Gly571-Asp589, Ala376-Cys395). Transport experiments on Caco-2 cell monolayers revealed that two novel peptides could traverse the intestinal epithelium. The findings suggest that the two peptides may be considered as potential antioxidant agents in functional foods, and provide a theoretical foundation for the extensive processing of squid skin.

Chokeberry is a rich source of nutrients and bioactive compounds. Nevertheless, it is not popularly consumed due to its strong astringency and bitterness. The objective of this study was to improve the palatability of chokeberry juice through fermentation with milk kefir grains (MKG). The study also sought to examine the changes in physicochemical properties, sensory scores, microbial compositions, and volatile and non-volatile compounds of chokeberry juice during MKG fermentation (0, 24 and 48 h). The results demonstrated that an increase in total phenols and total antioxidant activities (DPPH, FRAP, ABTS), and a decrease in polymeric proanthocyanidins, induced by Acetobacter, Lactobacillus and Kazachstania, led to a fermented juice (48 h) with lower astringency and bitterness compared with the non-fermented one (0 h). Furthermore, the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis demonstrated that the MKG fermentation led to improvements in the levels of alcohols, acids and esters, while concomitantly reducing the concentrations of benzaldehyde and methylene chloride. The LC/MS-based untargeted metabolomics analysis revealed notable increases in the relative levels of various compounds with small-molecular weights in the fermented juice, including polyphenols, organic acids and aldehydes. These findings indicate that MKG fermentation is a promising technique for enhancing the overall acceptability of chokeberry juice.

Protein degradation occurs during the fermenting of traditional mutton sausages, which influences on the flavor and quality of products. In this study, HS-SPME-GC-MS and Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were used to study the degradation kinetics of myofibrillar protein (MP) and sarcoplasmic protein (SP) during fermentation and ripening of fermented sausages by single and mixed starters (Pediococcus acidilactici CICC 10344 and Rhizopus Oryzae ATCC 96382). It was shown that flavor formation and protein degradation are related. Adding mixed starters effectively reduced the loss of sulfhydryl content compared to single starter. Moreover, cathepsin B and cathepsin L activities were continuously enhanced during sausage fermentation. Analysis of SDS-PAGE showed processing affected protein degradation, and the degree of degradation was increased with increasing fermentation time. Meanwhile, the inoculation of mature sausage samples with mixed starters accelerated the production of water-soluble flavor compounds (e.g., free amino acids and TCA-soluble peptides). The mixed starters group had more amino acids presenting the umami-free amino acids. Based on the ROAV values for odor thresholds, we identified 12 key volatile flavor compounds. The correlation heat map showed higher concentrations of key volatile flavor compounds in the mixed starters. Overall, Pediococcus acidilactici and Rhizopus Oryzae addition may effectively improve the flavor quality of fermented sausage products during fermentation.

The effect of dual-frequency ultrasonic vacuum drying technology on viscous materials has not been studied. Therefore, in this research, the effects of two (28 + 28 kHz, 40 + 40 kHz) dual-frequency ultrasonic vacuum drying methods on the drying characteristics and quality of honey were investigated using ultrasonic power, vacuum and temperature as one-factor experiment. Results showed that ultrasonic power was the main drying factor, followed by vacuum degree, and temperature. Among the six models, the Logarithmic model was the most accurate one to describe the change rule of honey moisture during the ultrasonic vacuum drying process. Drying temperature and ultrasonic power were the main factors that affected the change of sugar composition and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content in honey. Meanwhile, the color of honey after drying was darkened, the hardness was increased, while the viscosity was reduced. In summary, the optimal ultrasonic drying combination was 28 + 28 kHz ultrasonic frequency, 80 W ultrasonic power, −90 kPa vacuum degree and 30 °C temperature. This research provides essential information for equipment improvements for ultrasound in food processing and for future research on viscous materials.
双频超声波真空干燥技术对粘性材料的影响尚未研究。因此,本研究以超声波功率、真空度和温度为单因素实验,研究了两种(28 + 28 kHz、40 + 40 kHz)双频超声波真空干燥方法对蜂蜜干燥特性和质量的影响。结果表明,超声波功率是主要的干燥因素,其次是真空度和温度。在六个模型中,对数模型是描述超声波真空干燥过程中蜂蜜水分变化规律最准确的模型。干燥温度和超声功率是影响蜂蜜中糖成分和羟甲基糠醛(HMF)含量变化的主要因素。同时,干燥后蜂蜜的颜色变深,硬度增加,粘度降低。综上所述,最佳超声波干燥组合为 28 + 28 kHz 超声波频率、80 W 超声波功率、-90 kPa 真空度和 30 °C 温度。这项研究为食品加工中超声波设备的改进和未来粘性材料的研究提供了重要信息。

Studying the effects of pectin with different degree of esterification (DE) on dough properties can lay a foundation for regulating dough network structure and flour product quality through pectin. Thus, the effect of pectins with different DE on dough properties was compared. Compared with control dough, low-ester pectin (LEP) greatly improved the viscoelasticity of dough, significantly increased the enthalpy (from 1.51 to 1.75 J/g), hardness, chewiness, and the peak load (from 0.14 to 0.40 N) of dough, while decreasing the deformation (from 35.43 to 13.23 mm) of dough. Moreover, LEP significantly promoted the transformation of sulfhydryl groups to disulfide bonds (from 8.99 to 10.12 μmol/g). Compared with high-ester pectin (HEP), LEP increased β-sheet content by 34.21% and decreased fluorescence intensity from 1950.67 to 363.03, suggesting that structure stabilization of gluten was enhanced. SEM images also indicated that LEP was more conducive to maintaining the stability of dough structure. However, both LEP and HEP did not change the crystal structure of wheat starch in the dough. In summary, LEP improved dough structure more effectively, while HEP weakened dough structure. These results can provide a theoretical basis for regulating dough network structure and the quality of flour products through different pectins.
研究不同酯化度(DE)的果胶对面团特性的影响,可为通过果胶调节面团网络结构和面粉产品质量奠定基础。因此,比较了不同酯化度的果胶对面团特性的影响。与对照面团相比,低酯果胶(LEP)大大改善了面团的粘弹性,显著提高了面团的热焓(从 1.51 J/g 提高到 1.75 J/g)、硬度、咀嚼性和峰值负荷(从 0.14 N 提高到 0.40 N),同时降低了面团的变形(从 35.43 mm 降低到 13.23 mm)。此外,LEP 还能明显促进巯基向二硫键的转化(从 8.99 μmol/g 提高到 10.12 μmol/g)。与高酯果胶(HEP)相比,LEP 使β-片含量增加了 34.21%,荧光强度从 1950.67 降至 363.03,这表明面筋的结构稳定性得到了增强。扫描电镜图像也表明,LEP 更有利于保持面团结构的稳定性。不过,LEP 和 HEP 都没有改变面团中小麦淀粉的晶体结构。总之,LEP 更有效地改善了面团结构,而 HEP 则削弱了面团结构。这些结果可为通过不同果胶调节面团网络结构和面粉产品质量提供理论依据。

The unique flavour and quality of wine largely depend on its complex fermentation process, which in turn is significantly influenced by the microbial activities during fermentation. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the microbiota and the formation of main metabolites during the spontaneous fermentation of Cabernet Sauvignon wine. The main metabolites during the spontaneous fermentation of Cabernet Sauvignon wine were identified through headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography, and metagenomic sequencing was used to characterize the succession and potential metabolic capabilities of the microbial communities throughout the fermentation process. The results showed that as the alcoholic fermentation progressed, there was a significant increase in the relative abundance of Saccharomyces, dominating the alcoholic fermentation, and concurrently, there were notable changes in the structure of the microbial community. The genera Saccharomyces, Hanseniaspora, Tatumella, and Oenococcus showed potential correlations with the biosynthesis of the main metabolites such as alcohols, acids, and esters, in wine. Particularly, Saccharomyces, as the primary driver of alcoholic fermentation, was closely related to the biosynthesis of these metabolites. Overall, our study advances the comprehension of the functional role and metabolic contributions of microbial communities in shaping the flavour profile during fermentation.
