Abstract
Substituting animal proteins with plant-based alternatives offers a sustainable approach to reducing the ecological footprint of livestock farming. This study explores the effect of protein composition on lupin-oat yoghurt analogues, utilizing oat water extract enriched with protein isolates from Lupinus angustifolius (ANG, rich in legumin) and Lupinus albus (ALB, rich in vicilin), fermented with probiotics Lactobacillus plantarum and Bifidobacterium (BB12). Rheological, textural and microstructural analyses revealed that addition of protein isolates improved water-holding capacity, firmness, cohesiveness and gel strength. However, ALB, rich in vicilin, exhibited superior gel matrix density and stability, while ANG, rich in legumin, contributed to enhanced emulsion stability. Acidification kinetics showed similar pH trends, but lower titratable acidity in ANG, sample suggests distinct protein interactions driven by its legumin-rich profile compared to the vicilin-rich ALB. Fermentation effectively reduced Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols (FODMAPs) content, particularly galactooligosaccharides, suggesting improved digestibility for individuals with irritable bowel syndrome. Organic acid profiling showed greater phytic acid degradation in ANG, which may be linked to enhanced mineral bioavailability. Fermentation led to greater protein breakdown in Lupinus albus than Lupinus angustifolius, with SDS-PAGE revealing dominant vicilin proteins in Lupinus albus and legumin proteins in Lupinus angustifolius, which influenced their gelation behaviour. Allergen mapping suggested probiotic fermentation as a potential method for reducing allergenic proteins, with notable degradation of Lup an 1 in ANG. These findings highlight the potential of lupin protein isolates to optimize plant-based yoghurt analogues by enhancing texture, nutrition, and reducing allergenic properties.
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.
