In this work, rapeseed protein, obtained through salt extraction combined with ultrafiltration, was employed as a sole stabilizer to formulate algae oil-based HIPEs. The effects of protein concentration and pH changes on the physicochemical properties of HIPEs are systematically evaluated. The results show that a protein concentration of 0.5 wt% is sufficient to form stable and self-supporting HIPEs. As the protein concentration increases, the droplet size of HIPEs gradually decreases, leading to a more robust structure and enhanced stability. Compared to neutral conditions (pH 7.0), the HIPEs under acidic pH 3.5 exhibit more densely packed emulsion droplets with smaller size and more uniform distribution, contributing to superior mechanical properties (higher G′ and yield stress) as well as preferable thixotropic and creep recovery behaviors, which thereby improve their physical stability during storage, thermal processing, and freeze-thaw cycles. Furthermore, the rapeseed protein-stabilized HIPEs inhibit the oxidation of algae oil, especially at pH 3.5. The results of oral lubrication indicate that the reduction in the friction coefficient is mainly associated with an increase in protein concentration, with minor effect from pH variation. These findings suggest that rapeseed protein is an effective emulsifier for preparing stable and processable HIPEs, especially under acidic conditions, which have great potential for applications in semi-solid emulsion foods or edible oil structuring.</p>","PeriodicalId":100544,"journal":{"name":"Food Bioengineering","volume":"3 4","pages":"425-437"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fbe2.12109","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143253234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intracellular mevalonate pathway of <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> provides natural precursors for terpenoid product synthesis, so it is an excellent host for the heterologous production of lycopene. In this study, a recombinant strain named L10 with efficient lycopene production capability was constructed through multiple strategies, such as regulating the gene copy number of key enzymes, increasing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate supply, and reducing squalene accumulation. Then, considering that intracellular lycopene accumulation can cause cytotoxicity to <i>S. cerevisiae</i>, we attempted to identify a transporter that can efficiently transport lycopene from intracellular to extracellular space. Molecular docking simulations predicted that the ATP-binding cassette transporter Snq2p may be a potential transporter of lycopene, and its function in promoting lycopene secretion was further determined by overexpression verification. The lycopene secretion titer of the strain L10Z2 overexpressing Snq2p increased to 16.5 times that of the control at the shake-flask level. After optimizing the galactose regulation system, the intracellular and secreted lycopene production of L11Z2 reached 2113.78 and 26.28 mg/L, respectively, after 150 h fed-batch culture in a 3-L bioreactor.
