Interactions Among Calcium, Zinc and Phytate with Three Protein Sources

Various combinations of calcium (4.94 mmol), zinc (0.0071 mmol) and phytate (0.284 mmol) were added either to soy concentrate, casein or torula yeast to determine effects of their interaction on in vitro solubility of protein, calcium, zinc, and phytate (PA). Two Ca sources, calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and calcium-citrate-malate complex (CCM) were used. Two pH levels, 2.0 and 5.5, were used to simulate gastrointestinal pH conditions. An increase in pH significantly reduced (P<0.01) Zn solubility in all treatments with all protein sources. The solubility of Ca and PA were significantly decreased (P< 0.01) when both components were present probably due to formation of insoluble Ca-PA complexes. At pH 5.5, with casein and yeast proteins, Zn was significantly more (P< 0.01) soluble in samples with CCM, in the absence of PA, than in those with CaCO₃.     

Effect of pH and Heat on the Binding of Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc and the Loss of Phytic Acid in Soy Flour

The effect of pH and heat treatments on the binding of iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc and the loss of phytic acid in defatted soy flour was investigated. The soy flour was found to bind more iron, calcium, and magnesium at pH 6.8 than at pH 5.0, but the reverse situation occurred with zinc. Boiling caused a significant increase in binding of zinc and magnesium at both pH values, but was pH dependent for iron and calcium. Toasting caused a significant increase in binding of zinc and calcium at both pH values and a pH variable effect on iron and magnesium. Phytic acid analysis under the same conditions suggested that the degree of binding of these minerals did not correlate with the presence of phytic acid.     

Physical Properties of Mixed Dairy Food Proteins

Foods may contain more than one type of protein, and food formulators sometimes combine different proteins for desired synergistic textural benefits. Egg albumin, fish protein isolate, or soy protein isolate were blended with calcium caseinate or whey protein isolate and mixed in water adjusted to pH 2.5, 6.8, and 9.0 at 25 or 60°C. The effect of pH and temperature on solubility, viscosity, and the structure of the resulting gels were determined. The viscosity at the most soluble concentration at 25°C were: egg albumin (175.2 mPa.s/35 wt%), fish protein isolate (2207.4 mPa.s/30 wt%), soy protein isolate (2531.5 mPa.s/10 wt%), calcium caseinate (1115.8 mPa.s/15 wt%), and whey protein isolate (161.2 mPa.s/35%). In mixed protein systems viscosity values were reduced. The values for calcium caseinate or whey protein isolate with egg albumin, at the protein level of 15 g/100 g were: calcium caseinate/egg albumin (10:5 wt%) 535.1 mPa.s and whey protein isolate/egg albumin (10:5 wt%) 8.7 mPa.s. Microscopy imaging revealed changes in protein aggregation clusters during heating of calcium caseinate, egg albumin, and whey protein isolate. Egg albumin acted synergistically to increase viscosity, while fish protein isolate acted antagonistically to reduce viscosity. This knowledge is useful to manufacturers who may seek to enhance food texture by blending different proteins.

PROTEIN-PHYTATE INTERACTION IN SOYBEANS. III. THE EFFECT OF PROTEIN-PHYTATE COMPLEXES ON ZINC BIOAVAILABILITY

A study was conducted to determine the influence of pH on the chemical form of phytate in a commercial soy isolate and its effect on zinc bioavailability by monitoring weight gain in weanling rats. Ultrafiltration studies demonstrated that the free phytate content of soy isolate solutions was greatest at pH 5.0; above this the neutralization of soy isolates resulted in the formation of a soluble proteinphytate complex. The bioavailability of zinc from diets providing protein from egg, acid and neutral soy isolates and containing various levels of added zinc was measured. The growth of rats receiving zinc from the neutral soy isolate was significantly lower than that of rats deriving zinc from either the acidic soy isolate or egg white diets. It is proposed that the reduction in bioavailability of zinc caused by the neutralization of soy protein isolate is related to the formation of a protein-zinc-phytic acid complex resistant to hydrolysis in vivo.     

Solubility and Foaming Properties of Phytate-Reduced Soy Protein Isolate

A pilot scale ion exchange process was developed to produce a 75 - 77% phytate-reduced soy protein isolate. The solubility and foaming properties of this isolate were compared to those of control and commercial soy protein isolates as a function of protein concentration (5 and 10%, w/v), pH (3, 6 and 9) and preheat temperature (25, 60 and 80°C). Phytate-reduced soy protein extract exhibited minimum solubility at pH 4.8 - 5.0, compared to 4.2 - 4.5 for control soy extract. Phytate-reduced soy protein isolate was most soluble and functional at pH values below its isoelectric point (pH 3), whereas control and commercial soy isolates were generally most soluble and functional at pH values above their isoelectric point (pH 6 and 9).     

Physicochemical and Functional Properties of Winged Bean Flour and Isolate Compared with Soy Isolate

The proximate composition, amino acid profile and functional properties of isolated winged bean proteins were determined and compared with soy protein isolate. Winged bean protein extracted at pH 10 and pH 12 had protein contents of about 90% and 80%, respectively. Alkali extraction of winged bean proteins at pH 10 and pH 12 did not affect the amino acid distribution of the isolated proteins. Oil and water absorption, emulsion, and foaming properties of winged bean isolated compared favorably with soy isolate. Least gelation concentration for winged bean isolate was 18% compared to 14% for soy isolate. Thus, winged bean protein isolate with its high protein content, high lysine and other essential amino acid content and good functionality has a good potential as an ingredient in food products.     

Sensory, Instrumental Texture Profile and Cooking Properties of Restructured Beef Steaks Made with Various Binders

Restructured steaks made with various binders were evaluated using subjective and objective texture profile analysis of the following treatments: intact ribeye muscle, calcium alginate, salt/tripolyphosphate, crude myosin extract, whey protein, wheat gluten, soy protein isolate, surimi and no additives. Steaks made with calcium alginate or crude myosin extracts had superior binding. Steaks with 1.5% surimi had similar textural properties to those with calcium alginate or crude myosin extract. Whey, wheat gluten or soy isolate protein in restructured steaks detrimentally affected product flavor. Calcium alginate, crude myosin extract and surimi could be potential binders in the manufacture of restructured steaks without deterimental effects on quality.

Effect of Gastric Digestion pH on Iron, Zinc, and Calcium Dialyzability from Preterm and Term Starting Infant Formulas

ABSTRACT: Iron, zinc, and calcium dialyzability from preterm and term starting infant formulas were determined after in vitro digestion, using special gastric conditions prevailing in preterm and newborn infants. Mineral dialyzability was studied using pH 2.0,3.5, and 4.5 for gastric digestion. The effect of gastric pH was more important on iron dialyzability (FeD) and zinc dialyzability (ZnD) than on calcium dialyzability (CaD). The effect on iron dialyzability was remarkable in fluid formulations with high digestibility: FeD was 18% to 20% when gastric digestion was made at pH 2, decreasing to 3% when made at pH 4.5. In most powder infant formulas with the lowest digestibility, FeD remained close to 10% despite variations in gastric digestion pH. Percent zinc dialyzability (ZnD%) steadily decreased when gastric digestion pH increased. At each pH, percent iron dialyzability (FeD%) and ZnD% from human milk were higher than those from infant formulas. Evaluation of mineral dialyzability from these infant formulas, using a gastric digestion pH prevailing in preterm and newborn infants, can provide valuable information on mineral availability.     

FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES AND NUTRITIONAL QUALITY OF ALKALI- AND HEAT-TREATED SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE

Alkali and heat are increasingly utilized in food processing. This study was conducted to evaluate specific functional and nutritional properties of alkali- and heat-treated soy protein isolate (AHSPI) and the relationship between these properties. High pH (12.0) and temperature (100C) increased protein solubility of the isolate from 47 to 99.5% and emulsifying activity index from 74 to 184 m²/g. The values for in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD), computed-protein efficiency ratio, and IVPD-corrected amino acid score of AHSPI were not significantly (P>0.05) affected at pH 8.0 or 10.0, but were reduced At pH 12.0. At pH 12.0, lysinoalanine content significantly (p<0.05) increased from 0.39 to 1.22 g/100g protein as temperature was increased from 40 to 100C. Improvements in functional properties of soy proteins can be obtained through combined alkali and heat treatments. However, very high pH and temperature should be avoided to maintain nutritional quality of the proteins.     

FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF PROTEINS FOR FOODS-FLOW PROPERTIES

The flow properties of dispersions of soy protein isolate (Promine-D), casemate (Sodinol) and WPC were studied as a function of protein concentration, pH and salt concentration. Additional tests were also made on some other differently processed soy protein isolates and caseinates. The results showed that flow properties of protein dispersions could differ greatly due to differences in origin and processing conditions. The flow properties of Promine-D dispersions were characterized by low n-values according to the power equation, and the existence of yield values at concentrations above 8 % and pH 7. The addition of salt to soy protein dispersions reduced both yield values and the viscosity parameters. The flow properties of casemate dispersions were characterized by high n-values and the absence of yield values with respect to changes in protein concentration, pH and salt concentration. The viscosity parameters increased enormously with concentration. Contrary to the effect on soy protein dispersions, the addition of salt caused an increase in the viscosity parameters of caseinate dispersions. The dispersions of whey protein were of low viscosity over a broad concentration range with high n-values and no yield values. At high concentration (16-20 %) the flow properties of WPC were more similar to those of Promine-D than to those of caseinate. The viscosity parameters for all protein dispersions increased with pH to pH 10, whereupon the viscosity parameters of caseinate decreased markedly.

Fermentation and Properties of Calcium-fortified Soy Milk Yogurt

Calcium-fortified soy milk yogurt containing 190 mg calcium/100g was produced and evaluated for textural and microstructural properties. The soy milk base contained 10% full fat soy flour, 2.25% soy protein isolate, 2.75% high fructose corn syrup, 1.55% calcium lactogluconate, and 1.25% potassium citrate. The mixture was heated 5 min at 80°C, cooled to 42°C, and inoculated with yogurt cultures. Calcium-fortified soy milk required a higher rate of inoculation (5%) than non-fortified soy milk (2.5%) and had higher titratable acidity and more syneresis. Calciumfortified soy milk yogurts showed comparable gel strength with that of commercial regular yogurt. Gels from nonfortified soy milk yogurts were hard and brittle. Addition of calcium did not significantly affect microstructure of the yogurts.     

常见大豆制品中蛋白质的体外消化特性

本研究以常见大豆制品（大豆分离蛋白（soy protein isolate,SPI）、微波大豆、水煮大豆、豆浆、氯化钙豆腐和氯化镁豆腐）为研究对象,采用标准的静态体外消化模型——INFOGEST 2.0,测定不同时间点胃肠消化产物的完整蛋白、分子质量分布、游离氨基浓度和粒径大小,以探究大豆蛋白的消化特性。结果表明,不同加工方式均能促进大豆蛋白的消化。经过胃消化阶段后,几种大豆制品中部分蛋白被消化。而肠消化后,大豆蛋白均被彻底消化为短肽。相较于SPI,大豆经微波和水煮处理后,大豆蛋白的游离氨基浓度明显增加,但微波加热后大豆蛋白消化得更彻底;豆浆中大豆蛋白的消化程度低于氯化钙豆腐和氯化镁豆腐,两种豆腐中大豆蛋白的消化程度没有明显差异。总之,不同加工方式处理大豆均能不同程度地促进大豆蛋白的消化。本研究有助于更好地了解不同加工方式得到的大豆制品中大豆蛋白的消化特性,为人们摄取植物蛋白提供参考。     

Fat digestion in veal calves fed milk replacers low or high in calcium and containing either casein or soy protein isolate

The hypothesis tested was that the inhibitory effect of dietary soy protein versus casein on fat digestion in veal calves would be smaller when diets were fed with high instead of low calcium content. Male calves, 1 wk of age, were fed 1 of 4 experimental milk replacers in a 2 x 2 factorial design. There were 19 animals per dietary group. The milk replacers contained either casein or soy protein isolate as variable protein source and were either low or high in calcium. Body weight gain was not significantly affected by the experimental diets. Soy protein isolate versus casein significantly reduced apparent fat digestibility. High versus low calcium intake also depressed fat digestion. The protein effect was smaller (2.9% units) for the high than the low calcium diets (3.6% units), but the interaction did not reach statistical significance. Soy protein isolate versus casein raised fecal bile acid excretion and so did high versus low calcium intake. The difference in bile acid excretion between the soy and casein containing diets was significantly greater for the high than low calcium diets. The absorption of phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium was higher for the casein diets than for the soy-containing diets. This study shows for the first time that soy protein isolate versus casein depressed fat digestion and raised fecal bile acid excretion in veal calves.

Flow Behavior of Mixed-Protein Incipient Gels

Strong protein gel networks may result from synergistic interactions with other proteins or food materials above that are not achievable with a single protein alone. The varying flow and viscoelastic behavior of calcium caseinate or whey protein isolate mixed with egg albumin, fish protein isolate, soy protein isolate, or wheat gluten in a model system with wheat flour and glycerol as starch and oil surrogates was determined. Temperature sweeps revealed peak tan δ values as the proteins aggregated. Single protein gels of calcium caseinate, soy protein isolate, and wheat gluten were predominantly elastic, while egg albumin and whey protein isolate gels were mostly viscous. For example, egg albumin steady shear viscosities were: 0.0145 Pa s (0.5 min) and 0.1331 Pa s (45 min), and whey protein isolate 0.0003 Pa s (0.5 min) and 0.0024 Pa s (45 min); but combined with whey protein isolate (whey protein isolate/egg albumin: 10/5 wt%), the apparent viscosity values dropped to 0.0053 Pa.s (0.5 min) and 0.0221 Pa s (45 min), respectively.     

Effect of pH on the properties of soy protein–pectin complexes

The interactions of a commercial soy protein isolate (SPI) and a 2:1 SPI:high methoxy pectin (PEC) complex were evaluated over a range of pH values (3-7). The SPI formed very large (> 50 ??m) and largely insoluble aggregates (< 10%) close to its isoelectric point (IEP, pH 4 and 5) and smaller, more soluble (> 80%) particles at higher and lower pH values. The addition of PEC increased the solubility of SPI close to its IEP (pH 4 and 5) and prevented the formation of very large aggregates. However, PEC reduced the solubility of SPI at higher and lower pH values presumably via a depletion mechanism. The ??-potential of diluted SPI dispersions decreased from positive to negative with increasing pH, passing through zero at pH 4.6, the isoelectric point (IEP) of the protein. At pH < 6, the addition of PEC reduced the charge of the protein suggesting the formation of a complex while at pH 6 or 7 there was no evidence of complex formation. The increased SPI solubility in the IEP in the presence of PEC is probably due to the formation of charged complex which do not aggregate while the decreased solubility of protein in the presence at high and low PEC is probably due to the formation of insoluble complexes and a depletion interaction respectively. Thermal treatment (30 min, 90 °C) enhanced the solubility of the SPI:PEC complexes close to the IEP (pH 4 and 5), but reduces it at low pH (pH 3). The SPI:PEC complexes could be manufactured in the form of a beverage at pilot scale where their solubility was enhanced by homogenization.
