The NADES used included choline chloride: oxalic acid, choline chloride: urea, choline chloride: glycerol, and glucose: citric acid. The results reveal that the NADES system significantly altered zein's structures, as evidenced by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence, and Ultraviolet–Visible Spectroscopy analysis. Circular dichroism spectroscopy analysis indicated significant conformational change in modified zein, with decreased α-helix and increased random coil content. Notably, the NADES system leads to greater disruption of hydrogen bonds and facilitates the exposure of hydrophobic regions compared to water, ethanol, and acetic acid systems. This resulted in enhanced solubility, surface hydrophobicity, and free amine content in zein, indicating a more significant change in protein structure. In contrast, water and acetic acid solvents maintained more stable disulfide bonds within zein, which correlates with lower solubility and less unfolding. The NADES system promoted interactions between zein and its solvent components, improving emulsifying properties. Water, ethanol, and acetic acid systems had higher solubility in urea, thiourea, and dithiothreitol than the NADES system, revealing disruption of both covalent and noncovalent bonds in zein modified by NADES. Overall, this study highlights the superior ability of the NADES system to modify zein's structure and functionality compared to conventional solvents, suggesting its potential for enhancing protein applications in the industrial production of foods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10939,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Food Science","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100965"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11748687/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143001815","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}

The findings demonstrated that the soybean pulp-rich diet could relieve cholestasis by decreasing the levels of total bile acids (TBA) and alkaline phosphatase and enhancing the bile flow rate. Through gut microbiota and metabolomics analyses, it was revealed that this diet might alter the abundances of certain bacterial taxa including <em>Akkermansia</em>, <em>Bacteroides</em>, and <em>Turicibacter</em>, thus influencing lipid metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, and steroid metabolism, which led to disparities between the groups fed with and without the soybean pulp-rich diet. Moreover, the soybean pulp-rich diet could modulate the abundances of <em>Prevotella</em> spp. and <em>Tyzzerella</em>, reducing EIC by regulating lipid metabolism and short-chain fatty acids synthesis. Notably, DAI treatment significantly alleviated the abnormalities in serum TBA, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase levels and mitigated the liver tissue damage in the EIC model. In summary, during cholestasis, variations in gut microbiota and metabolite profiles occurred.
