    Controlled enzymatic hydrolysis modulates IgE-binding and functional behavior of egg white proteins
    (2026-08-01) ;
    Janapiraganit, Sirawitch
    The effects of enzymatic hydrolysis (protease, 3.33-16.67 μkat/g protein) on the allergenicity and techno-functionality of egg white proteins were studied. Proteolysis effectively degraded major allergens (ovalbumin, ovomucoid, lysozyme, and ovotransferrin), significantly reducing IgE-binding capacity. Quantitative FTIR revealed a non-linear, hydrolysis-dependent structural transition dictating egg white functionalities. Moderate hydrolysis (3.33-10.00 μkat/g protein) induced initial protein unfolding, increasing Amide I and II intensities by +39.5% and +55.3%, respectively, which enhanced peptide mobility and accelerated interfacial adsorption, resulting in improved foam stability but a gel network with decreased hardness. Conversely, intensive hydrolysis (16.67 μkat/g protein for 10 h) overcame the disulfide-stabilized structural barrier of ovomucoid, triggering a complete conformational collapse, as confirmed by sharp declines in Amide A (−68.1%), Amide I (−20.8%), and Amide II (−8.8%) intensities. Upon thermal induction, these highly mobile, short-chain peptides underwent structural reassociation, leading to a distinct mechanical “hardness rebound" in heat-induced gels, a recovery in apparent viscosity (n ≈ 1), and maximized deactivation of IgE-binding epitopes. Our results identify tailored hydrolysis windows that balance hypoallergenic requirements with targeted foaming and gelling attributes. Consequently, this work provides a strategic framework for designing high-performance, low-allergen egg white ingredients.

    This study systematically investigated the effects of cooking methods (sous vide, baking, and frying), enzymatic treatment with bromelain, and hydrocolloid stabilization using κ-carrageenan on the physicochemical properties and in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of restructured pork steaks. Sous vide cooking retained 36 % more moisture (27 % Water holding capacity; WHC) and had 84 % lower cooking loss (4 %) than fried samples, resulting in a more tender texture (hardness reduced by 30 % compared to baked samples) and the highest IVPD (9 % higher than baked and 10 % higher than fried samples). Baked samples exhibited the highest WHC (42 %), while fried samples showed the highest cooking loss (25 %). Microstructure analysis revealed that sous vide samples maintained a more uniform and intact protein matrix, while fried samples exhibited greater structural disruption and porosity. Bromelain hydrolyzed muscle proteins into smaller peptides, improving tenderness and digestibility, while κ-carrageenan formed a stabilizing protein-polysaccharide network, counteracting bromelain's over-hydrolysis and preserving textural integrity. Additionally, κ-carrageenan significantly enhanced WHC and contributed to a uniform appearance across all cooking methods. This indicates that bromelain and κ-carrageenan work synergistically to enhance moisture retention, texture, and digestibility. Results demonstrate the potential of sous vide, combined with enzymatic and hydrocolloid treatments, to produce innovative, high-quality restructured meat products that align with modern consumer preferences for convenience, nutrition, and functionality. This research offers a promising framework for optimizing restructured meat production to meet evolving industry and consumer demands.

    The use of agricultural waste for the production of value-added ingredients was investigated. Defective green coffee beans were utilized as alternative feedstocks for the production of peptides. The crude peptides were produced by enzymatic hydrolysis, followed by membrane filtration and centrifugation. Subsequently, hydrolysate peptides were encapsulated via spray drying with maltodextrin as the carrier, facilitating their use as a functional ingredient in food supplements. This study aimed to produce hydrolysate peptides from defatted defective green coffee beans by supercritical carbon dioxide with ethanol as a cosolvent. Additionally, their environmental impacts (gate to gate) were evaluated and analyzed using the life cycle assessment approach. Data obtained from pilot-scale production of 10 L of oil extract and 50 L of peptide extract were used to examine the environmental consequences of the various treatments. Two scenarios of downstream processing were examined for equivalent antioxidant activity: spray-drying without maltodextrin (Scenario 1) and spray-drying with maltodextrin encapsulation (Scenario 2). Scenario 2 consumed less electricity than Scenario 1 due to its shorter operating time and lower environmental impact compared to Scenario 1. Additionally, its encapsulated form is suitable for antioxidant retention and the storage of functional ingredients. The greatest environmental impact arose from supercritical carbon dioxide with ethanol extraction, which affected 8 out of 15 midpoint categories, followed by spray dry encapsulation, which affected 7 out of 15 midpoint categories. Solutions for improvement, such as carbon dioxide and/or ethanol recycling, and alternative heat and electricity sources are also discussed.

    Pyrazine yield and functional properties of rice bran protein hydrolysate formed by the Maillard reaction at varying pH
    (2022-03-01) ;
    Puechkamutr, Yuporn
    Interest in plant-based protein sources has grown rapidly. Rice bran contains excellent quality protein, but it is still rare in the market, due to its poor functional properties and undesirable odors. Therefore, we studied the Maillard reaction at different pHs on the formation of pyrazines and improved functional properties of rice bran protein hydrolysate. Protein from rice bran was extracted and hydrolyzed, using alcalase, at 55 °C for 4 h. Fructose was added, and the pH of the hydrolysate was adjusted to pHs between 7.0 and 10.0, before spray drying. Five pyrazines were detected in the hydrolysate powder, with the highest yield at pH 9 (p < 0.05). The highest odor active value came from 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine (26.26), which contributed coffee, nutty and caramel aromas, followed by 2,5-dimethylpyrazine (9.2) and 2-ethyl-5-methylpyrazine (5.0). Increased pH led to a darker color (L* = 58.5) and redder (a* = 11.7) and yellower (b* = 13.8) powder. Key functional properties—solubility, water and oil binding capacity and emulsion stability index and foaming capacity—were increased with pH (p < 0.05). The optimum pH for pyrazine formation and improved properties of enzymatic rice bran protein hydrolysate was pH 9.0.

    Bamboo shoots possess a rich source of dietary fiber for Asian countries as well as Thailand, which give various beneficial physiological effects for human beings. Dietary fibers in soluble form could provide better texture and would be easier to apply in food products. This study aimed to prepare fiber hydrolysate with high solubility and antioxidant activity from bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) shoot. The fiber hydrolysate from bamboo shoot (FHBS) was prepared by stepwise enzymatic hydrolysis including amylase (1%, w/w), cellulase (1, 2, 3%, w/w) and papain (1%, w/w). The released fiber yield of FHBS increased with increasing cellulose levels in dose dependent manner (P≤0.05). It was found that the process with 1% (w/w) amylase for 1 h and 3% (w/w) cellulase for 3 h followed by 1% (w/w) papain for 1 h at 50 ºC, rendered the highest released fiber yield (92.10±1.10%). The resultant FHBS contained 5.76±0.21 % of total dietary fiber with total sugar and reducing sugar contents of 1431.22±46.01 and 918.91±10.57 mg/g solid, respectively. The FHBS exhibited antioxidant activities including ABTS radical scavenging activities (ABTS), DPPH radical scavenging activities (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Therefore, FHBS with antioxidant activities could be effectively prepared by using enzymatic hydrolysis and suitable to apply in the fiber fortified products.
