Effect of NaCl on thermal aggregation of egg white proteins from duck egg

Thermal aggregation of duck egg white solution (1 mg protein/ml, pH 7) was monitored in the presence of different NaCl concentrations (0–6%, w/w) across the temperature range of 20–90 °C. Duck egg white solution exhibited higher turbidity with coincidental increases in surface hydrophobicity and decreases in sulfhydryl group content as temperatures increased from 70 to 90 °C (p < 0.05). As NaCl concentration increased, the negative charge decreased, with coincidental increases in particle size of aggregate after heating to 90 °C. As visualised by confocal laser scanning microscopy, larger clusters of protein aggregates were observed with increasing NaCl concentrations. Major duck egg white protein with molecular mass of 45 kDa disappeared in the presence of 2–6% NaCl after heating above 80 °C, regardless of concentrations. Therefore, NaCl, especially at high concentrations, could induce thermal aggregation of duck egg white protein, which could determine the characteristics of salted egg white after heating.     

Effect of high‐pressure treatment on trypsin hydrolysis and antioxidant activity of egg white proteins

High‐pressure processing (HPP) is known to modify the functional properties of the proteins by changing its structure that can lead to protein denaturation, aggregation or gelation, depending on the protein system and the applied pressure. The potential to modify functional properties of protein and their products using HPP has been explored widely in last decade. In this study, the effect of HPP on the degree of trypsin hydrolysis (DTH) and antioxidant activity (AA) of egg white protein (EWP) and freeze‐dried egg white powder (DEW) was evaluated. EWP and DEW were subjected to trypsin hydrolysis for up to 120 min, with and without HP treatments [pressure level (350–550 MPa) and treatment time (5–15 min)]. HP treatment caused substantial increase in DTH of EWP and DEW, increasing it from 2.78% (EWP control) and 2.20% (DEW control) to 11.3% (HP‐treated EWP) and 8.41% (HP‐treated DEW), respectively. HP treatment also had an emphatic effect on AA of EWP (concentration 10% w/v) with AA increasing from 9.34% for control EWP to 19.0% after 5‐min HP treatment at 350 MPa and 25.00% after the same treatment at 550 MPa. Overall, HPP caused an increase in DTH and AA of EWP and DEW over the control. SDS‐PAGE and differential scanning calorimetric studies confirmed the effect of HP on the hydrolysis of egg proteins.

Comparative effect of thermal treatment on the physicochemical properties of whey and egg white protein foams

The optimization of the functionalities of commercial protein ingredients still constitutes a key objective of the food industry. Our aim was therefore to compare the effect of thermal treatments applied in typical industrial conditions on the foaming properties of whey protein isolate (WPI) and egg white proteins (EWP): EWP was pasteurized in dry state from 1 to 5 days and from 60 °C to 80 °C, while WPI was heat-treated between 80 °C and 100 °C under dynamic conditions using a tubular heat exchanger. Typical protein concentrations of the food industry were also used, 2% (w/v) WPI and 10% (w/v) EWP at pH 7, which provided solutions of similar viscosity. Consequently, WPI exhibited a higher foamability than EWP. For WPI, heat treatment induced a slight decrease of overrun when temperature was above 90 °C, i.e. when aggregation reduced too considerably the amount of monomers that played the key role on foam formation; conversely, it increased foamability for EWP due to the lower aggregation degree resulting from dry heating compared to heat-treated WPI solutions. As expected, thermal treatments improved significantly the stability of WPI and EWP foams, but stability always passed through a maximum as a function of the intensity of heat treatment. In both cases, optimum conditions for foam stability that did not impair foamability corresponded to about 20% soluble protein aggregates. A key discrepancy was finally that the dry heat treatment of EWP provided softer foams, despite more rigid than the WPI-based foams, whereas dynamically heat-treated WPI gave firmer foams than native proteins.     

Effect of dynamic heat treatment on the physical properties of whey protein foams

The influence of dynamically heat-induced aggregates on whey protein foams was investigated as a function of the thermal treatment applied with the aim of determining the optimal temperature for the production of heat-induced aggregates dedicated to foaming. The native protein solutions (2% w/v WPI; 50 mM NaCl) at neutral pH were heat-treated using a tubular heat exchanger between 70 °C and 100 °C. Protein denaturation and aggregation were followed by micro-differential scanning calorimetry, size exclusion chromatography, laser diffraction and dynamic light scattering. The protein solutions were whipped using a kitchen mixer to produce foams. Foam overrun, stability against drainage, texture and bubble size distribution were measured.     

Combined effect of dynamic heat treatment and ionic strength on the properties of whey protein foams – Part II

The aim was to investigate the effect of dynamic thermal treatment in a tubular heat exchanger on the denaturation and foaming properties of whey proteins, such as overrun, foam stability and texture. A 2% w/v WPI solution (pH 7.0), with and without NaCl addition (100 mM), was submitted to heat treatment at 100 °C. The results demonstrated that heat treatment slightly reduced overrun, whereas NaCl and heat treatment improved foam stability, enhanced texture and provided smaller bubble diameters with more homogeneous bubble size distributions in foams. The foaming properties of proteins, especially stability, were shown to depend not only on the amount of protein aggregates, but also on their size. While insoluble aggregates (larger than 1 μm diameter) accelerated drainage, soluble aggregates (about 200 nm diameter) played a key role on the stabilization of gas–liquid interfaces.     

Physical meat quality characteristics of hot-deboned ostrich (Struthio camelus var. domesticus) Muscularis gastrocnemius, pars interna during post-mortem aging

There is a risk of shortening and toughening with hot-deboning of muscles. However, with refrigerated aging this phenomenon may be negated. Vacuum-packed hot and cold-deboned ostrich Muscularis gastrocnemius, pars interna were stored for 21 d at 4 °C to investigate the effects of hot-deboning on quality characteristics of ostrich meat during refrigerated storage. Muscle pH did not differ (P > 0.05) between hot and cold-deboned muscles during storage. Hot-deboning caused (P < 0.0001) more purge in the vacuum packages of the hot-deboned muscles (1.83 ± 1.31%) than in the cold-deboned muscles (0.67 ± 075%) during the 21-d aging period. Hot-deboned muscles were tougher (P < 0.05) than cold-deboned muscles from 24 h up to 5 d. Although hot-deboning caused muscles to be tougher than cold-deboned muscles, with aging at 4 °C beyond 5 d this toughness was found to be insignificant.     

喷雾冷冻干燥对鸡蛋清蛋白结构和特性的影响

为了探究喷雾冷冻干燥(Spray freeze drying,SFD)对鸡蛋清蛋白结构及功能特性的影响,将其与喷雾干燥(Spray drying,SD)蛋清粉进行对比,并通过质构仪、差示扫描量热(D S C)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、扫描电镜(SEM)、低场核磁共振(LF-NMR)等对其结构及特性进行测定。结果表明:SFD粉的变性温度比SD粉低了15.7℃,表面巯基含量低42.40%;SFD粉的α-螺旋和β-折叠结构比例大,分子结构更有序,蛋白聚集程度小,从而使其乳化特性得到改善;SEM分析表明,SFD粉呈大孔隙颗粒网络结构,溶解度增大。两种蛋清粉溶解度随pH的升高均呈先下降后上升的趋势,SFD粉溶解性和乳化性明显高于SD粉(P<0.05),凝肢硬度和束缚水含量显著低于S D粉(P<0.05),保水性差,两者的起泡性无显著差异。综上所述:与SD粉蛋白相比,SFD粉蛋白在结构和部分功能特性方面发生了显著变化,尤其在溶解度和乳化特性方面更具优势。

Effect of thermal treatment on the antioxidant activity of egg white hydrolysate and the preparation of novel antioxidant peptides

Heat treatment will affect the nutritional properties and potential bioactivity of food materials. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of different thermal treatment (4, 56, 65 and 100 ℃) and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on the antioxidant activity of egg white hydrolysate. The results demonstrated that egg white hydrolysate treated at 65 ℃ exhibited the highest antioxidant. Remarkably, the simulated digestion significantly increased antioxidant activity of egg white hydrolysate. Furthermore, we identified twenty-four potential antioxidant peptides by performing mass spectrometry and bioinformatic analysis. Six peptides were selected based on the activity prediction score of the online tool. The results showed that P6 (ACPECPK) possessed the most outstanding antioxidant properties and had low cytotoxicity and allergenicity. Bioinformatics technology combined with biochemical assays may offer a way for discovering novel antioxidant peptides from different kinds of food under various heat treatment conditions.     

Effect of heat treatment of film-forming solution on the properties of film from cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) skin gelatin

Effects of heat treatment at different temperatures (40–90 °C) of film-forming solution (FFS) containing 3% gelatin from cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) ventral skin and 25% glycerol (based on protein) on properties and molecular characteristics of resulting films were investigated. The film prepared from FFS heated at 60 and 70 °C showed the highest tensile strength (TS) with the highest melting transition temperature (T_max) (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, film from FFS heated at 90 °C had the highest elongation at break (EAB) with the highest glass transition temperature (T_g) (p < 0.05). With increasing heating temperatures, water vapor permeability (WVP) of films decreased (p < 0.05), but no differences in L*-value and transparency value were observed (p > 0.05). Based on FTIR spectra, the lower formation of hydrogen bonding was found in film prepared from FFS with heat treatment. Electrophoretic study revealed that degradation of gelatin was more pronounced in FFS and resulting film when heat treatment was conducted at temperature above 70 °C. Thus, heat treatment of FFS directly affected the properties of resulting films.     

Effect of ethanol treatment on the proteins of Madhuca (Madhuca butyraceae) seed flour

Madhuca butyraceae flour was subjected to a two stage ethanol treatment to remove the toxic saponins and the effect of such treatment on the proteins was determined. Ethanol treatment caused minor changes in the amino acide composition and also in the gel filtration and gel electrophoretic patterns. The limiting amino acids in the ethanol treated flour are lysine and sulphur containing amino acids as compared to the provisional amino acid scoring pattern of FAO/WHO.     

Effect of heat treatment and evaporation on patulin and some other properties of apple juice

Patulin, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), colour and clarity values of 20 apple juice samples with different Brix contents were determined after heat treatment (90 and 100 °C for 5, 10, 15 and 20 min under atmospheric pressure) and evaporation (70 and 80 °C for 5, 10, 15 and 20 min) processes. As the heating and evaporation times increased, the concentration of patulin in the apple juice samples decreased. The 90 and 100 °C heat treatments resulted in reductions in patulin concentration of 18.81 and 25.99% respectively after 20 min; the corresponding values were 9.40 and 14.06% for 70 and 80 °C evaporation respectively. The increase in HMF was higher with heat treatment than with evaporation. Evaporation decreased the colour values of the samples, whereas heat treatment increased them. © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry     

Effect of gamma irradiation and heat treatment on the artificial contamination of maize grains by Aspergillus flavus Link NRRL 5906

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the main crops, which is easily susceptable to Aspergillus flavus infection resulting in huge losses worldwide. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of combining heat and irradiation treatments in controlling the fungal growth in maize grains. Surface disinfected maize grains were artificially contaminated with spores of Aspergillus flavus Link NRRL 5906, and then exposed to gamma radiation with doses of 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 kGy. The samples were additionally heat treated at 60 °C for 30 min. The heat and irradiation treatments showed a synergistic effect on controlling Aspergillus flavus growth. The heat treatment reduced the required radiation dose of about 0.5–1.0 kGy when 4.0 kGy or 5.0 kGy irradiation was used. The combined heat and irradiation treatment of moisture reduced the average CFU by 8 log cycles when 4 kGy or 5 kGy irradiation was used and by 7 log cycles when 3 kGy irradiation was used. The heat treatment of moisture alone reduced the average CFU by only by 0.8 log cycles. Combining irradiation with heat treatment to reduce the required radiation dose is very useful especially when there is a concern over biological side effects of irradiation.
