This study aimed to produce high-protein pea protein isolate (PPI) gels by enzymatically modifying the proteins through partial hydrolysis, partial deamidation, and transglutaminase (TG)-induced crosslinking during fermentation, followed by pressing. Using these approaches, gels containing up to 17% protein and 20% fat were successfully produced across all formulations. Pressing reduced moisture from 76% to 62–65%, leaving approximately 10% free water in the final gels, irrespective of enzyme treatments, whereas TG treatment increased the proportion of bound water, indicating enhanced water immobilisation within the protein network. Despite similar overall composition, enzymatic modification markedly influenced gel hardness, enabling textures ranging from soft to semi-hard. TG addition increased hardness from 257 g to 767 g in unmodified PPI, comparable to reference Danbo cheese (804 g). Deamidation had limited effect on hardness, whereas partial hydrolysis produced softer gels (406 g with TG; 138 g without TG). Deamidation increased elasticity (G′ from 28,000–50,000 Pa to 33,000–61,000 Pa with TG), reaching values similar to Danbo cheese. Visual assessment showed that TG-treated unmodified PPI formed rough, porous structures, while deamidated PPI produced smoother, more uniform surfaces, demonstrating improved network organisation. Overall, the results show that combining deamidation or partial hydrolysis with TG-mediated crosslinking effectively modulates gel hardness and elasticity without compromising nutritional composition, yielding high-protein pea protein-based gels with promising physicochemical characteristics for the potential development of plant-based cheese alternatives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":323,"journal":{"name":"Food Research International","volume":"245 ","pages":"Article 120615"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148870766","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}

This review provides a comparative framework for understanding PAEs contamination in two representative dietary matrices, water and edible oils, with emphasis on direct inputs from food packaging and processing, as well as indirect pathways associated with microplastic migration, atmospheric deposition, and recycled plastics. A key difference dependent on the matrix is highlighted: in water, the migration and redistribution of PAEs are mainly affected by partitioning between phases, adsorption and desorption, and dynamic exchange under equilibrium conditions, rather than by a simple reversible cycle. In edible oils, the hydrophobic and lipophilic properties of PAEs may promote their transfer into lipid-rich phases and lead to longer retention, while reverse migration may still occur but is likely limited by slow transfer rates. These differences are important for evaluating removal technologies, including adsorption, biodegradation, and distillation, and may partly explain their variable performance in aqueous systems and edible oils. By clarifying the distinct behaviors of PAEs across different media, this review provides insights into exposure assessment, analytical standardization, and mitigation strategies specific to different matrices.

This review systematically synthesizes the complete pathway of microplastics from environmental compartments to the human food chain, with particular emphasis on their role as carriers of co-contaminants (microorganisms, persistent organic pollutants, and heavy metals). Key findings indicate that microplastics are widely detected across air, water, soil, and food matrices, yet the combined toxicity of microplastic co-pollution complexes remain poorly characterized under physiologically relevant conditions. Although human ingestion via food is well documented, direct evidence linking tissue accumulation to specific health outcomes is lacking, primarily due to methodological heterogeneity and a paucity of chronic exposure data. Addressing these gaps requires harmonized analytical protocols and long-term epidemiological studies. For food safety, we recommend routine monitoring of microplastic co-pollution complexes along supply chains, optimization of food processing (e.g., filtration, washing) to reduce co-contaminant loads, source-directed policies to reduce plastic use. Furthermore, this review identifies priority research directions, including the need for mechanistic toxicity studies, method harmonization, and removal strategies targeting both microplastics and their co-pollutants. Quantitative comparison of removal efficiencies across different food matrices and validation under real-world processing conditions are urgently needed to bridge the gap between laboratory findings and practical interventions.
