Several techniques, including high-pressure homogenization, microfluidization, ultrasonication, spontaneous emulsification, phase inversion temperature (PIT), and phase inversion composition (PIC), have been employed to fabricate SPI-based EO nanoemulsions with desirable droplets (50–200 nm) and improved physicochemical stability (up to 30–60 days). Mechanistic insights into stabilization strategies, including SPI secondary structure transitions (e.g., β-sheet enrichment), covalent/non-covalent SPI–polyphenol interactions, and Pickering-like interfacial structuring, are critically examined. This review systematically categorized SPI-based emulsifiers, elucidated the functional characteristics of SPI-stabilized EO nanoemulsions, and discussed the key factors influencing their stability, biofunctionality, and applications in meat, fruits, and dairy matrices. Moreover, this review uniquely connects formulation parameters to food-specific outcomes, and discusses challenges such as EO volatility, sensory impact, and safety evaluation. Finally, regulatory considerations and future perspectives on improving delivery efficacy, stability, and nutritional compatibility are addressed.

However, due to several factors, such as maternal health conditions, lactation insufficiency, and socio-economic barriers, breastfeeding is not always feasible. This has led to the need for the synthesis of alternative HMOs to bridge the nutritional gap for non-breastfed infants. First, this review explains various physiological roles of HMOs in the overall growth and development of infants, followed by extraction of alternative oligosaccharides from multiple natural sources, including the milk of animals such as cows, goats, and camels, as well as from plant and marine sources. However, this method is limited by low yield, high purification cost, and significant compositional variability. Thus, advanced biotechnological processes for industrial-level production, such as microbial fermentation and enzymatic and chemical synthesis, including purification and characterization techniques, are discussed in this review. This review also evaluates each production method, emphasizing the industrial feasibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. The advantages and challenges of each large-scale production method are analyzed, followed by a discussion of emerging advancements in biotechnology and methodologies for improved HMO production. The review also highlights the clinical trials conducted in infants to assess the safety and efficiency of synthesized HMOs, as well as about the regulatory approvals that govern their addition in infant formulas and other supplementary products. Finally, various potential applications of alternative HMOs, like infant nutrition, pharmaceuticals, functional food, and emerging applications, are highlighted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12409,"journal":{"name":"Food Bioscience","volume":"71 ","pages":"Article 107223"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144604303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It serves a dual purpose in plant tissues by acting as storage for phosphorus and regulates various cellular processes. From a nutritional perspective, chelating ability of phytic acid is considered as a potential health drawback, while in other ways as a most valuable trait. Phytic acid accumulates in seeds during their developmental stages and is synthesized through two distinct pathways i.e. one is independent of lipids and the other is dependent on lipids. Beginning with a simple precipitation method involving the formation of insoluble ferric phytate in an acidic solution, the methods for quantifying phytic acid have evolved over time to encompass various instrumental approaches, including colorimetry, high-performance ionic chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography. Enzymatic reduction using phytases plays a crucial role in converting phytic acid into different inositol phosphates and inorganic phosphorus. Decreasing the phytic acid content in cereal grains is a desirable objective for development of genetically improved crops, which are used in food and feed applications. Phytic acid is not a foe as it has been shown in literature studies. It performs various metabolic functions as well as acts as a reservoir of nutrients for plants and animals. This review explores the advantages and disadvantages of phytic acid, its accumulation, estimation, and reduction using modern tools of genome editing, such as transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN), zinc-finger nucleases (ZFN), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats with CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12409,"journal":{"name":"Food Bioscience","volume":"71 ","pages":"Article 107204"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144613998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored how blending bovine serum albumin (BSA) with soy protein isolate (SPI) at different ratios and NaCl concentrations affects rheology, mechanical properties, water-holding capacity (WHC), and microstructure. Protein profile and particle size analyses revealed that moderate NaCl concentrations (50 mM) enhanced protein aggregation by reducing electrostatic repulsion and exposing reactive sites essential for gel network formation. Textural analysis confirmed that BSA-dominant gels exhibited higher hardness, springiness, and chewiness, whereas SPI-dominant gels formed weaker networks. At a 7:3 BSA: SPI ratio with 50 mM NaCl, gel hardness increased 1.4-fold higher than the no-NaCl control, reaching a peak of 5142 g. However, increasing NaCl to 100 mM caused over-aggregation and structural heterogeneity, reducing WHC by 8 % (from 95.2 % to 87.3 %) in pure BSA gels. The sample structure with 7:3 BSA: SPI ratio and 100 mM NaCl maintained its strength and consistency, with the storage modulus (G') increasing 1.3-fold compared to BSA-only gels. This treatment achieved an optimal balance of protein interactions, network stability, and textural properties. Intermolecular force disruption experiments demonstrated that disulfide bonds and hydrophobic interactions dominated BSA-rich gels. In contrast, hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions played a more significant role in SPI-rich gels.
