Abstract

The utilization of bovine casein for creating casein micelles with properties resembling those in human milk presents an opportunity to bridge the nutritional gap between human milk and infant formula. However, the processing of these innovative structures and ingredients remains uncharted territory. While previous studies have examined temperature-induced self-association of dephosphorylated β-casein (β-CN) by varying single factors, the structuring events of industrially manufactured β-CN ingredients have not yet been fully described. In this study, a calcium depleted β-CN was prepared from micellar casein isolate by cold microfiltration. Partial dephosphorylation was carried out using alkaline phosphatase and quantified though intact protein analysis by LC-MS. In situ self-association was investigated during heating (15–75 °C, 1 °C increments) in a multichannel spectrophotometer, with absorbance and static light scattering (SLS) being monitored. An experimental design was employed to investigate the impact of calcium concentration (0–9 mM), β-CN concentration (2.5–10 mg/mL) and degree of dephosphorylation. The results demonstrate that altering the calcium concentration has a significant impact on tuning of the temperature-induced self-association of β-CN. Notably, at 0 mM calcium, irreversible self-association was not observed, and increasing calcium concentration led to a decrease in the temperature of initial self-association. Partial dephosphorylation also had a significant impact, resulting in an increased temperature at initial self-association. The calcium to β-CN ratio exerted a significant impact on the self-association temperature, while the β-CN concentration alone had no pronounced effect. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that calcium-phosphate bridges were not solely responsible for the self-association protein interactions of partially dephosphorylated β-CN.

部分去磷酸化β -酪蛋白的可调节自结合
利用牛酪蛋白制造酪蛋白胶束,其性质类似于人乳中的酪蛋白胶束,为弥合人乳和婴儿配方奶粉之间的营养差距提供了机会。然而,这些创新结构和成分的加工仍然是未知的领域。虽然以前的研究已经通过不同的单一因素检测了温度诱导的脱磷酸化β-酪蛋白(β-CN)的自关联,但工业生产的β-CN成分的结构事件尚未得到充分的描述。本研究以胶束酪蛋白分离物为原料,采用冷微滤法制备了贫钙β-CN。用碱性磷酸酶进行部分去磷酸化,用LC-MS进行完整蛋白分析定量。在多通道分光光度计加热(15-75°C,增量1°C)期间,研究了原位自结合,并监测了吸光度和静态光散射(SLS)。采用实验设计考察了钙浓度(0 ~ 9 mM)、β-CN浓度(2.5 ~ 10 mg/mL)和脱磷酸化程度的影响。结果表明,钙浓度的改变对温度诱导β-CN自缔合的调控有显著影响。值得注意的是,在钙浓度为0 mM时,没有观察到不可逆的自结合,钙浓度的增加导致初始自结合温度的降低。部分去磷酸化也有显著的影响,导致初始自结合温度升高。钙与β-CN的比例对自缔合温度有显著影响,而β-CN浓度对自缔合温度无显著影响。此外,研究表明,磷酸钙桥并不是部分去磷酸化β-CN的自结合蛋白相互作用的唯一原因。

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.
