This study investigated how various colloidal processing methods and compositions impact the <em>in vitro</em> oral tribological properties of protein-rich emulsions and emulsion-filled gels. Oil-in-water emulsions with oil fractions from 1 wt% to 20 wt% were prepared, alongside emulsion-filled gels containing whey protein isolate (WPI), hydrolysed whey protein (HWP), or a blend of both (10 wt% protein content). Two processing approaches were employed: creating emulsions with an initial 10 w% protein content (M1) and initially forming emulsions with 0.1 wt% protein content, then enriching to a final 10 wt% concentration (M2). The hypothesis was that formulations with HWP or method 2 (M2) would offer lubrication benefits by inducing droplet coalescence, aiding in the formation of a lubricating boundary tribofilm. Surprisingly, the tribological behavior of high-protein emulsions showed minimal dependence on oil droplet volume fraction. However, both HWP-based emulsions and those processed with M2 for WPI exhibited significant friction reduction, which may be attributed to the presence of coalesced oil droplets, supporting our hypothesis. Substituting 50 wt% of WPI with HWP in emulsion-filled gel boli resulted in very low friction coefficients in the boundary lubrication regime, suggesting oil droplet release from the gel matrix. These findings provide insights into designing high-protein foods with improved mouthfeel for the elderly population, necessitating further validation through sensory studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10939,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Food Science","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100806"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2665927124001321/pdfft?md5=c26de9e9ca963ed077ff36434a6272d9&pid=1-s2.0-S2665927124001321-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141691875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, there are some challenges to tackle before they can largely be implemented for real-life applications. One of those is the lack of data regarding their oxidative stability. This is an important point to consider, as although using oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is highly desirable from a nutritional perspective, these fatty acids are particularly prone to oxidation, which leads to major degradations of food quality. This work thus aimed to investigate the oxidative stability of oleofoams prepared with omega-3 PUFA-rich vegetable oils (rapeseed or flaxseed oil) and various types of high melting point lipid-based oleogelators (stearic acid, glyceryl monostearate and stearyl alcohol) when incubated at room temperature. The physical structure and stability of the oleofoams was monitored by various techniques (visual observations, microscopy, DSC, NMR, SAXS and WAXS). Lipid oxidation was assessed by combined measurements of primary (conjugated diene hydroperoxides) and secondary (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances – TBARS) products. We found that the oxidative stability of oleofoams was higher compared to that of the corresponding bulk oil. This protective effect was also found when the oil was simply mixed with the oleogelator without incorporation of air bubbles (i.e., forming an oleogel), and was somewhat modulated depending on the type of oleogelator. These results suggest that oleogelators and the structural changes that they induce limit the cascaded propagation of lipid oxidation in oil-continuous matrices, which is promising in the perspective of future applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10939,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Food Science","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100690"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2665927124000169/pdfft?md5=b8d10bc3fc8c46e02518ec53fe70e3b6&pid=1-s2.0-S2665927124000169-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139674843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PQQ exhibits superior antioxidant properties that protect against ROS-mediated oxidative stress, aging, neurodegenerative diseases, certain cancers, diabetes, and metabolic disorders. It also enhances cognitive abilities and reduces insulin sensitivity. PQQ's antioxidant nature helps mitigate oxidative stress, which is implicated in many diseases.
