Abstract
Amyloid-like protein nanofibrils with several nanometers in thickness and nanometer or micrometer in length have received great attention due to the high aspect ratio, tunable flexibility, and ordered arrangement. Various food proteins have been reported to self-assemble into fibrillar structures by prolonged heating under low pH conditions. Although animal proteins are the main resources for synthesizing amyloid-like fibrils currently, extensive progress has been made in the fabrication of fibrils using plant-sourced proteins owing to sustainability compared to animal resources. Herein, we comprehensively reviewed the plant protein resources that have been reported to synthesize fibrils. We also described the fibrillization process and factors impacting fibril formation. Furthermore, we described their formation mechanisms and highlighted the factors that influence the hydrolysis and self-assembly behavior. We offered new insights into the challenges of developing plant proteins with complex structural composition into fibrils. Finally, we introduced the potential applications of plant protein fibrils in food industries.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
