To enhance the functionality and applications of coconut endosperm residue dietary fiber (CERDF) in the food industry, ultrasound, cellulase, and hemicellulase hydrolysis combined with carboxymethylation or phosphate crosslinking have been used. The impact of the modified CERDFs on egg white protein gel (EWPG) was also studied. Compared to unmodified CERDF, CERDF modified by ultrasound and dual enzymatic hydrolysis combined with carboxymethylation (CERDF-UDEC) or phosphate-crosslinking (CERDF-UDEPC) exhibited a larger surface area and improved water retention and expansion abilities (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Addition of CERDF, CERDF-UDEC, and CERDF-UDEPC increased the random coil content of EWPG and rendered its microstructure more granular. CERDF-UDEC and CERDF-UDEPC improved EWPG properties more effectively than unmodified CERDF. These enhancements included increased water retention, pH, hardness (from 109.87 to 222.38 g), chewiness (from 78.07 to 172.13 g), and gumminess (from 85.12 to 181.82), and a reduction in its freeze-thaw dehydration rate (from 33.66% to 16.26%) and transparency (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Adding CERDF and CERDF-UDEC (3-5 g/100 g) enhanced the gastric stability and intestinal digestibility of EWPG. Thus, CERDF modified through ultrasound and dual enzymolysis combined with carboxymethylation or crosslinking improved the gel properties of EWPG.

The results indicated that the moisture content (MC), total soluble matter (TSM), water vapor permeability (WVP), water contact angle (WCA), tensile strength (TS), and elongation at break (EAB) of PPI film decreased after adding EOs, with the extent of the decrease varying based on the type of oil. SEM images revealed that the distribution of EOs within the film matrix differed: garlic EO was mainly distributed within the internal structure, while ginger and cinnamon EOs were primarily on the surface. FTIR analysis confirmed the interactions between PPI and EOs. When applied to salmon, garlic EO and ginger EO promoted lipid oxidation, whereas cinnamon EO significantly delayed it. Although PPI-based active films containing garlic or cinnamon EOs showed remarkable antibacterial activity in vitro, they did not inhibit bacterial growth in salmon. Additionally, EOs in active films may notably alter the color and sensory properties of salmon, potentially influencing consumer acceptance. Our findings demonstrated that the EO type is a key factor in influencing the properties of edible films.

Our study investigated the potential of using chitosan at an industrial scale to produce soft white bread, evaluating its impact on the final product's shelf life and providing deeper insights into the practical possibilities and limitations of its scalability. In particular, the rheological properties of the dough and the overall qualitative characteristics of the breads were evaluated when chitosan was used at 0.75 and 1.5%. The use of chitosan in bread dough increased its viscoelasticity, firmness and extensibility, making the dough more elastic but harder to mold and process industrially (extension resistance: 41.70 for 1.5% chitosan vs 22.55 for the control). Chitosan breads exhibited higher pH, aw (1.5%: 0.955 vs control: 0.934), firmness and a larger pore size, with a lower cut height and a more pronounced colour due to increased Maillard reactions. Microbiologically, the chitosan breads were within acceptable limits (<4 and 3 log CFU/g for aerobic mesophilic bacteria and yeasts, respectively) but showed no effect on spoilage microbiota.

However, oats are industrially heat treated ('kilned') to inactivate endogenous lipases thereby avoiding rancidity development. Such heat treatment results in a protein extractability decrease. We here investigated the possibility of directing oat groat heat treatment conditions [oat groat moisture content (13.0-20.0%), heating temperature (80-100 °C) and heating time (15-45 min)] on a lab-scale to achieve complete enzyme inactivation, with peroxidase activity as a marker, while maintaining high protein extractability. Non-heat-treated and industrially heat-treated oats were included as reference samples. The peroxidase activity and protein extractability of lab-scale heat-treated oats decreased with an increase in moisture content, heating temperature and time. Several lab-scale heat-treated oats for which complete peroxidase inactivation was observed, had significantly higher protein extractabilities (31-59%) than industrially kilned oats (21%). The activity of endogenous lipases was determined for a selected sample set. Lipases required milder heat treatment conditions for complete inactivation than peroxidases. Such milder heat treatment led to samples with protein extractabilities between 31 and 65%. A notable observation was that heat treating oats (≥90 °C) caused clumping of the intracellular material of the aleurone cells, likely due to protein aggregation. The main conclusion of this study is that oat heat treatment conditions can be altered successfully to achieve complete enzyme inactivation while maintaining high protein extractability.

To efficiently screen bioactive peptides with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects from bovine hemoglobin, we employed bioinformatics methods to perform virtual enzymatic hydrolysis using online tools and predicted the bioactivity, toxicity, and sensitization scores of the resulting peptides. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations with Keap1 and TLR4 were subsequently conducted to screen for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory peptides. Finally, peptides ARRF and ARNF were synthesized using the Fmoc solid-phase method. The oxidative stress and inflammation model in RAW264.7 cells was induced using lipopolysaccharide (LPS), followed by treatment with peptides ARRF and ARNF to verify their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The results demonstrated that 529 bovine hemoglobin oligopeptides were produced following virtual enzymatic hydrolysis, of which nine were identified as eligible based on predictions of biological activity, toxicity, solubility, and sensitization. Molecular docking results indicated that the oligopeptides ARNF, QADF, and ARRF exhibited favorable interactions with Keap1, while ARNF, RRF, and ARRF showed strong interactions with TLR4. The primary active sites binding to the Keap1 receptor included Val465, Thr560, and Gly464. The main active sites binding to the TLR4 receptor were Asn309, Asn305, and Glu286. Hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic interactions were identified as the primary modes of interaction between the oligopeptides and the Keap1 and TLR4 receptors.

Whereas starch retrogradation profoundly reduces its edibility, shelf-life and consumer acceptance, limiting the development of BR and even other starch-based food products. So, it is crucial for controlling the retrogradation properties of brown rice starch (BRS), and which has received significant attention in the food industry. Enzymatic modification is considered as an effective manner to retard starch retrogradation by degrading starch to an appropriate extent. <i>Ganoderma lucidum</i> can secrete various hydrolytic enzymes related to starch hydrolysis, providing a theoretical basis and feasibility for improving the starch retrogradation. Our study delves into characteristic changes of brown rice (BR) and its starch (BRS) when modified by the intracellular enzyme of <i>Ganoderma lucidum</i>, which contains several inhibiting retrogradation enzymes (<i>Gl</i>IRE), mainly including α-amylase, β-amylase, and cellulase. <i>Gl</i>IRE treatments significantly decreased the setback viscosity to 1544.33 ± 24.01 cP (2 h), diffraction intensities and relative crystallinity to 21.90 ± 0.06% (2 h) and 19.22 ± 0.19% (3 h) as per RVA and XRD analysis, accompanied with more pits and pores in surface morphology. The DSC analysis showed that <i>Gl</i>IRE treatments significantly depressed the gelatinization enthalpy to 5.86 ± 0.46 J/g (2 h) and retrogradation enthalpy. FT-IR analysis also indicated the contribution of <i>Gl</i>IRE treatments to retard starch retrogradation, including shifting the peaks of 3500 cm^-1-3200 cm^-1 to lower wave numbers and decreasing the transmittance, as well as R₁₀₄₇/R₁₀₂₂ values reducing from 0.87 to 0.73, mainly due to the shortening of starch chain length and the weakening of hydrogen bonding strength between or within the molecular chains. Simultaneously, it aslo found that <i>Gl</i>IRE treatments effectively improved the textural properties of BR, with reducing of hardness, chewiness and gumminess, and increasing of adhesiveness. Interestingly, GC-MS analysis showed that <i>Gl</i>IRE treatments could also significantly affect the types and contents of volatile compounds in BR.
