Influence of pH and temperature on the physicochemical and functional properties of Bambara bean protein isolate.

ABSTRACT: Bambara bean is a rich low-cost protein source and a functional ingredient in the food industry. We investigated the effects of temperature and different pH on the physicochemical and functional properties of Bambara bean protein isolate. Vicilin was the major protein of Bambara bean as revealed by SDS PAGE analysis. The emulsifying capacity of protein isolate was highest at 80 °C, pH 9 while emulsion stability was highest at pH 4. Generally, increase in temperature decreased protein solubility at pH 4 and 7, while increase was observed at pH 9 and 100 °C. The hydrophobicity of isolate was highest at pH 4 and lowest at pH 9, regardless of temperature. Protein isolate possessed highly compact β-sheet and α-helix secondary structures in proportions greater than 75% (at pH 9 and 50 °C). Increase in temperature generally promoted protein rearrangement and partial unfolding. Protein secondary structure and surface hydrophobicity can predict food functionality, directly affecting protein behavior during formulation and long-term storage. This study clearly demonstrated the potential of exploiting pulse protein isolates as nutritional and functional ingredients through temperature and pH control.

Physicochemical and chemical properties of mung bean protein isolate affected by the isolation procedure.

Project description:The effects of different mung bean protein isolation methods on the chemical composition, the physicochemical properties, and selected antinutritional factors of mung bean protein isolates were investigated. Six protein isolates were prepared by isoelectric precipitation at different extraction pH levels (pH 8 and 9), by micellization, and by hybrid isolation at varying salt concentrations (0.25 M, 0.50 M, 0.75 M). The extraction conditions affected the amount of antinutritive compounds of the isolates. Compared to mung bean flour, micellization reduced phytic acid content by approximately 48% and trypsin inhibitor activity by around 88%. The remaining phytic acid concentration of the isolates influenced their re-solubility, particularly under acidic conditions. The protein isolates exhibited significant differences in surface hydrophobicity and thermal characteristics, indicating structural modifications caused by the extraction methods. Micellization and extraction at pH 8 were identified as mildest isolation methods, as evidenced by the highest enthalpy values. SDS-PAGE analysis demonstrated an enrichment of globulins and comparable protein profiles among the isolates, suggesting that the observed differences arise from conformational changes rather than variations in protein composition. The product yield in protein extraction from mung beans ranged from 8% to 19%, emphasizing the importance of enhancing overall extraction efficiency or exploring the utilization of by-products obtained during the protein isolation process.

Effect of maleylation on physicochemical and functional properties of rapeseed protein isolate.

Project description:Influence of maleylation on the physicochemical and functional properties of rapeseed protein isolate was studied. Acylation increased whiteness value and dissociation of proteins, but reduced free sulfhydryl and disulfide content (p < 0.05). Intrinsic fluorescence emission and FTIR spectra revealed distinct perturbations in maleylated proteins' tertiary and secondary conformations. Increase in surface hydrophobicity, foaming capacity, emulsion stability, protein surface load at oil-water interface and decrease in surface tension at air-water interface, occurred till moderate level of modification. While maleylation impaired foam stability, protein solubility and emulsion capacity were markedly ameliorated (p < 0.05), which are concomitant with decreased droplet size distribution (d 32). In-vitro digestibility and cytotoxicity tests suggested no severe ill-effects of modified proteins, especially up to low degrees of maleylation. The study shows good potential for maleylated rapeseed proteins as functional food ingredient.

Formation mechanism and functional properties of walnut protein isolate and soy protein isolate nanoparticles using the pH-cycle technology.

Project description:Walnut protein isolate (WPI) is a nutritious protein with poor solubility, which severely limits its application. In this study, composite nanoparticles were prepared from WPI and soy protein isolate (SPI) using the pH-cycle technology. The WPI solubility increased from 12.64 to 88.53% with a WPI: SPI ratio increased from 1: 0.01 to 1: 1. Morphological and structural analyses illustrated that interaction forces with hydrogen bonding as the main effect jointly drive the binding of WPI to SPI and that protein co-folding occurs during the neutralization process, resulting in a hydrophilic rigid structure. In addition, the interfacial characterization showed that the composite nanoparticle with a large surface charge enhanced the affinity with water molecules, prevented protein aggregation, and protected the new hydrophilic structure from damage. All these parameters helped to maintain the stability of the composite nanoparticles in a neutral environment. Amino acid analysis, emulsification capacity, foaming, and stability analysis showed that the prepared WPI-based nanoparticles exhibited good nutritional and functional properties. Overall, this study could provide a technical reference for the value-added use of WPI and an alternative strategy for delivering natural food ingredients.

Comparative assessment of physicochemical and antioxidative properties of mung bean protein hydrolysates.

Project description:Two commercial plant proteases namely ficin and bromelain, were acquired to hydrolyze mung bean protein over 300 min hydrolysis, and the physicochemical and antioxidative properties of the obtained hydrolysates were investigated. Bromelain-treated mung bean protein hydrolysates presented a higher degree of hydrolysis in comparison with ficin-treated hydrolysates, further modifying their physicochemical and emulsifying properties. All mung bean protein hydrolysates exhibited 50% scavenging of DPPH radical (IC50) in the concentration range from 8.67 to 16.22 μg mL-1. Our results also showed that strong metal ion-chelating activity was found in the ficin- (higher activity) and bromelain-treated protein hydrolysates. In addition, oxidative stability of linoleic acid was significantly enhanced by two selected protein hydrolysates, particularly the bromelain-treated hydrolysate with the highest inhibition effect of linoleic acid oxidation (94.55 ± 0.10%). Interestingly, both of these two hydrolysates could effectively retard lipid oxidation of sunflower oil and sunflower oil-in-water emulsion, while the ficin-treated hydrolysate showed slightly better performance. Therefore, mung bean protein hydrolysates showed potential to inhibit lipid oxidation, which could be advantageous in the food industry for producing fortified food.

Alteration in physicochemical, functional, rheological and reconstitution properties of milk protein concentrate powder by pH, homogenization and diafiltration.

Project description:Concentration of milk proteins by ultrafiltration (UF) and diafiltration (DF) processes during manufacturing of milk protein concentrate (MPC) powders alter their natural milk protein stabilization system. Increasing calcium and protein contents often leads to poor functional properties in MPC powders. The pH adjustment using disodium phosphate (DSP, Na2HPO4) and DF with 150 mM NaCl solution of UF retentate were hypothesized to produce desirable changes in various properties of resulted MPC powders. Addition of Na2HPO4 followed by homogenization; DF of 5 × UF retentate with 150 mM NaCl solution resulted in significant improvement in the dispersibility, wettability, flowability, solubility, heat stability, buffer index, emulsification and foaming and water and oil binding capacities of the MPC powders. The solubility of developed MPC powders was significantly higher than MPC-C powder in fresh as well as even after 90 days of storage at 25 ± 1 °C. Rheological behaviour of reconstituted MPC was best explained by Herschel Bulkley model. Scanning electron microscopy micrograph indicated that MPC powders were having smooth surfaced, intact and separate smaller particles compared to rough, larger, infused aggregates with dents in MPC-C. Technological interventions applied are easier to adopt, cost-effective and efficient in producing excellent quality MPC powders that may find applications in wide range of novel food formulations.

Protein⁻Phenolic Interactions as a Factor Affecting the Physicochemical Properties of White Bean Proteins.

Project description:This study was conducted with an aim to determine the interactions of pure phenolic compounds (gallic acid, ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid, quercetin, apigenin, and catechin) and phenolics from plant extracts (green tea and green coffee) with protein fractions of white bean (albumins and globulins). The physicochemical properties of complexes were established through an analysis of the UV-Vis spectrum; relative content of free amino groups, thiol groups, and tryptophan residues; chromatographic (SE-HPLC) and electrophoretic (SD-PAGE, Native-PAGE) properties; and conformational changes reflected by Fourier transform infrared spectra. Further, the effect of pH and ionic strength on the solubility and stability of complexes as well as the binding capacity of phenolics to proteins were determined. Results show that, in most cases, phenolics significantly affected the measured parameters; however, the effects were strongly differentiated by the type of phenolic compounds and protein fraction that were applied. Moreover, it may be that changes in the properties of complexes are reflected in the biological nature of proteins and phenolic compounds such as their bioavailability and physiological activity. However, due to the structural complexity of proteins, and the multitudinous factors that affect their interactions, such studies are a great and long-term challenge for the domain of food science.

Formation of soybean protein isolate-hawthorn flavonoids non-covalent complexes: Linking the physicochemical properties and emulsifying properties.

Project description:In recent years, more and more attention had been paid to the combination of proteins and flavonoids, and several flavonoids had been reported to improve the physicochemical and emulsifying properties of proteins. This study investigated the effects of ultrasonic treatment (450 W for 10 min, 20 min, and 30 min) on the physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, and emulsifying properties of soy protein isolate (SPI) -hawthorn flavonoids (HF) non-covalent complexes. The results showed that the addition of HF to SPI and 20 min of ultrasound could reduce α-helix and random coil, increase β-sheet and β-turn, and enhance fluorescence quenching. In addition, it decreased the particle size, zeta potential, surface hydrophobicity, and turbidity to 88.43 or 95.27 nm, -28.80 mV, 1250.42, and 0.23, respectively. The protein solubility, free sulfhydryl group, antioxidant activity, emulsifying activity index, and emulsifying stability index all increased to 73.93%, 15.07 μmol/g, 71.00 or 41.91%, 9.81 m2/g, and 67.71%, respectively. Moreover, high-density small and low-flocculation droplets were formed. Therefore, the combined ultrasound treatment and addition of HF to SPI is a more effective method for protein modification compared to ultrasound treatment alone. It provides a theoretical basis for protein processing and application in the future.

Effects of particle size on physicochemical and functional properties of superfine black kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) powder.

Project description:Black kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) powder (BKBP) with particle sizes of 250-180, 180-125, 125-75, 75-38, and <38 μm was prepared by using coarse and eccentric vibratory milling, respectively. Physicochemical properties, cholesterol adsorption, and antioxidant activities of powders were investigated. Size and scanning electron microscopy analyses showed that particle size of BKBP could be effectively decreased after the superfine grinding treatment, and the specific surface area was increased. Flow properties, hydration properties, thermal stability, and cholesterol adsorption efficiency significantly improved with the reducing of particle size. The superfine powder with sizes of 75-38 or <38 μm exhibited higher antioxidant activity via 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl, hydroxyl radical-scavenging, and ferrous ion-chelating assays. The results indicated that the BKBP with a size of <38 μm could serve as a better potential biological resource for food additives, and could be applied for the development of low-cholesterol products.

The influence of pH and temperature on the properties of myosin.

Project description:1. The rate of denaturation of myosin solutions at temperatures between 32 degrees and 45 degrees and at pH values between 5.3 and 6.2 has been studied, by using adenosine-triphosphatase activity and solubility in m-potassium chloride at pH6.1 as criteria. 2. Myosin, when heated, loses its adenosine-triphosphatase activity before it becomes insoluble. 3. The loss of adenosine-triphosphatase activity and solubility are both first-order and pH-dependent reactions. Myosin, however, becomes insoluble only when heated within a narrow range of pH values. 4. The thermodynamic functions found for the two processes of denaturation are compared and discussed. 5. The possibility is discussed that, in muscle undergoing rigor, conditions may obtain that would denature myosin.

Prediction of Protein Sites and Physicochemical Properties Related to Functional Specificity.

Project description:Specificity Determining Positions (SDPs) are protein sites responsible for functional specificity within a family of homologous proteins. These positions are extracted from a family's multiple sequence alignment and complement the fully conserved positions as predictors of functional sites. SDP analysis is now routinely used for locating these specificity-related sites in families of proteins of biomedical or biotechnological interest with the aim of mutating them to switch specificities or design new ones. There are many different approaches for detecting these positions in multiple sequence alignments. Nevertheless, existing methods report the potential SDP positions but they do not provide any clue on the physicochemical basis behind the functional specificity, which has to be inferred a-posteriori by manually inspecting these positions in the alignment. In this work, a new methodology is presented that, concomitantly with the detection of the SDPs, automatically provides information on the amino-acid physicochemical properties more related to the change in specificity. This new method is applied to two different multiple sequence alignments of homologous of the well-studied RasH protein representing different cases of functional specificity and the results discussed in detail.
