Meat is a tasty source of high-quality protein and micronutrients, whose integration with alternative proteins offers new avenues to address technical and consumer-driven challenges. Meat-based hybrids, also called dual-protein foods, combine meat with alternative proteins like plant proteins, edible insects, microalgae, and nutritional yeast, offering a promising solution by improving resource efficiency while retaining familiar taste and nutritional benefits of meat. However, challenges remain regarding protein compatibility, functionality, and consumer acceptance. This review critically examines recent advances in hybridizing meat with alternative proteins, highlighting the pivotal roles of pH, temperature, and salt concentration in modulating protein–protein interactions and functionalities essential for cohesive hybrid systems. Emerging protein combinations, such as plant-yeast or microalgae-yeast blends, offer promising but underexplored opportunities in hybrid systems to enhance nutritional value and functional performance. Additionally, this review synthesizes recent consumer studies, highlighting that taste, texture, visual appeal, perceived nutritional and environmental benefits are primary drivers of acceptance and willingness to pay for hybrid products. Processing technologies, including high-moisture extrusion, high-pressure treatments, and ultrasound, are discussed for their potential to improve hybrid product quality through structural modification. Finally, this review introduces the HYBRID meat framework—a holistic systems-based roadmap for innovating dual-protein meat products by integrating raw materials, hybridization mechanisms, processing, consumer insights, and enabling tools like artificial intelligence and machine learning to guide future innovations in meat-based dual-protein foods.</p>","PeriodicalId":155,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety","volume":"24 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1541-4337.70216","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144292257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In light of the growing interest in plant-based foods, this article provides a comprehensive and unbiased overview of oxalate in foods. It discusses the changes in oxalate content caused by various thermal, non-thermal, and combined food processing methods, as well as recent advances in oxalate extraction and quantification techniques, including food oxalate sensors. The challenges and interferences encountered during oxalate extraction and measurement with different quantification techniques are highlighted to aid scientists in their future efforts related to oxalate measurement in food systems. Selecting appropriate oxalate reduction techniques and their optimal applications is expected to make low-oxalate food products more accessible, thereby enhancing mineral bioavailability by promoting increased absorption in the intestinal epithelium. Although several methods have been developed for quantifying urinary oxalates, finding a quick and highly precise technique for measuring oxalate content in plant-based foods remains challenging. Interferences from metal ions, acids, and pigments during the quantification process make accurate and reliable measurement difficult.

Structural and functional differences between animal and plant proteins significantly influence their allergenic potential. Traditional and emerging physical processing technologies can modify protein structures and reduce immunoreactivity without chemical additives, preserving food quality. These technologies are categorized into thermal, radiation, light, high-pressure, transient pressure, mechanical wave, plasma, and electric field effects. Cold plasma is particularly effective in modifying protein structures by generating reactive species. High hydrostatic pressure also demonstrates significant potential, particularly when combined with heat treatment. Ultrasound, especially when integrated with other methods (e.g., enzymatic hydrolysis or glycosylation), offers versatile and cost-effective solutions. Microwave heating remains a practical option due to its efficiency and scalability, while gamma irradiation remains an effective tool for allergen reduction despite its regulatory and consumer acceptance challenges. Low-allergenic processed foods can induce oral tolerance in allergic individuals, necessitating comprehensive safety evaluations covering allergenicity, toxicity, and nutrition. Unintentional allergens in food processing pose risks, and current regulations are insufficient. International organizations have proposed precautionary allergen labeling to protect consumers.

This review critically assesses current methods for measuring and predicting fouling during thermal processing in the dairy industry, emphasizing scientific principles, technical maturity, and industrial applicability. Unlike existing reviews, which are mostly focused on fouling quantification, this work highlights the shift toward prediction-driven approaches for fouling control and minimization. Traditional measurement techniques, such as monitoring thermal resistance and pressure drop, are evaluated alongside emerging methods, including acoustic, spectroscopic, and electrochemical sensors. Their respective limitations and strengths are discussed in terms of sensitivity, scalability, and industrial robustness. Advanced predictive tools, including deep learning, computational fluid dynamics, and dimensional analysis techniques, are explored for their ability to model the dynamic nature of fouling and support real-time decision-making. The integration of artificial intelligence with real-time process data acquisition is identified as a key innovation for improving fouling management and optimizing cleaning schedules. The review also considers the importance of small-scale experimental systems in linking laboratory-scale research with industrial applications. Development and utilization of tools for enhanced process efficiency through prediction, prevention, and control of in-process fouling are growing. Greater control in this regard offers substantial opportunity to meet future challenges in process optimization, shorten cleaning-in-place times, and advance sustainable dairy manufacturing through real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and industrial-scale implementation.

Its alterations have been linked to intestinal and systemic disease. Regulation of intestinal permeability is key in the maintenance of the IBF, in which the intestinal epithelium and tight junctions, the mucus layer, sIgA, and antimicrobial peptides are important factors. This review addresses the concept of IBF, focusing on permeability, and summarizes state-of-the-art information on how starvation and macronutrients regulate it. Novel mechanisms regulate intestinal permeability, like its induction by the normal process of nutrient absorption, the contribution of starvation-induced autophagy, or the stimulation of sIgA production by high-protein diets in a T-cell-independent fashion. In addition, observations evidence that starvation and protein restriction increase intestinal permeability, compromising mucin, antimicrobial peptides, and/or intestinal sIgA production. Regarding specific macronutrients, substantial evidence indicates that casein (compared to other protein sources), specific protein-derived peptides and glutamine reinforce IBF. Dietary carbohydrates regulate intestinal permeability in a structure- and composition-dependent fashion; fructose, glucose, and sucrose increase it, while nondigestible oligosaccharides (NDOs) decrease it. Among NDOs, human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) stand as a promising tool. NODs effects are mediated by intestinal microbiota modulation, production of short-chain fatty acids, and direct interactions with intestinal cells. Finally, evidence supports avoiding high-fat diets for their detrimental effects on IBF. Most studies have been carried out in vitro or in animal models. More information is needed from clinical studies to substantiate beneficial effects and the use of macronutrients in the treatment and prevention of IBF-related diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":155,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1541-4337.70178","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144140746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As natural self-assemblies, the nutrient distribution, composition, and structural characteristics of OBs can be modified in multiple ways, including the genetic improvement and various processing techniques, to meet diverse application requirements. Generally, the utilization of OBs (e.g., processing stability, emulsifying, digestion, etc.) is closely related to their interfacial properties, but the associated studies have not been systematically reviewed. In this paper, we systematically review the structural and interfacial characteristics of OBs for the first time, encompassing their biosynthetic pathways and the structure-function relationship critical to their processability and bioavailability In particular, targeted improvement methods were also discussed. The underlying mechanisms of the physicochemical stability of OBs were primarily related to the interfacial modulation, including linkages between density, charge, and the number of protein–phospholipid salt bridges, as well as the quantity and structure of extrinsic proteins. The membrane compactness, enzyme binding sites, and aggregation of OBs in gastrointestinal tract significantly impact their digestion and subsequent metabolic fate.
