To elucidate the effect of interfacial proteins on the functional properties of high-oleic and normal peanut OBs, OBs were extracted using ultrasound-assisted aqueous enzymatic extraction (AEE), and the effects of ultrasonic power (100–500 W) and extraction time (0–30 min) on the interface properties were investigated. These results indicate that the interfacial protein content and interface properties of OBs can be significantly affected by ultrasonic treatment. The interfacial protein content of high-oleic peanut OBs increased from 88.25% to 91.95% after ultrasonic treatment, which was 1.4 times that of normal peanuts OBs. The emulsifying activity index (EAI) and emulsion stability index (ESI) values of both peanut OBs increased with the increase in ultrasonic power and extraction time. These results suggest that the emulsification ability of OBs may be closely related to the interfacial protein content and therefore can be regulated by altering the interfacial protein content using ultrasonic treatment. However, the particle size of OBs tends to increase under low ultrasonic power (0–200 W) owing to the increase in the interfacial protein content and aggregation effects, whereas it decreases under high ultrasonic power (300 W–500 W) due to cavitation effects. This pattern of change in particle size was also confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy, which indicated that high ultrasonic power suppressed the contribution of the interfacial protein content to the particle size, but still improved the emulsification ability of the OBs by reducing the particle size and increasing the interfacial tension. Therefore, regulating the interfacial protein content of peanut OBs by adjusting ultrasonic power is a promising way to improve their functional properties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":33614,"journal":{"name":"Grain Oil Science and Technology","volume":"8 2","pages":"Pages 100-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144167496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, chickpea starch has been found to have remarkable resistance to digestion. The chickpea resistant starch showed prebiotic effect and potential health benefits. To date, chickpea starch has been modified by physical, chemical, biological and dual modification methods to change its functional properties such as swelling power, solubility, thermal, pasting, gel textural properties, and digestibility, which are essential to widen its applications.

In this study, two polysaccharide fractions, precipitated with acetic acid (PPA) and ethanol (PPE), respectively, were extracted from PKC using a 2 mol/L NaOH solution. The molecular weight, sugar composition, structural characteristics, morphology, antioxidant activity, as well as <em>in vitro</em> stimulated digestion were investigated in detail. The results revealed that due to its poor solubility of PPA in water, the detected molecular weight of PPA was only 2040 g/mol, which was significantly lower than that of PPE (65,300 g/mol). Although PPA and PPE had a similar sugar composition with varying contents, mannose was the predominant monosaccharide in both, accounting for 87.71% and 60.40%, respectively. Both PPA and PPE were primarily composed of crystalline mannan, consisting of mannopyranosyl units linked by (1→4)-<em>β-</em>glycosidic bonds, along with a small amount of lignin. PPA possibly contained a higher proportion of crystalline mannan, whereas PPE had a larger amount of arabinoxylan and galactomannan. Atomic force microscope revealed a stacked morphology for both PPA and PPE. PPA exhibited a higher scavenging rate against DPPH• and ABTS<sup>+</sup>• but a weaker HO• scavenging activity and reducing power compared with PPE. Within the polysaccharide concentration range of 0.5–5.0 mg/mL, PPA and PPB demonstrated the strongest scavenging activity against ABTS<sup>+</sup>•, with the highest scavenging rates exceeding 91%. However, PPA and PPB exhibited the weakest scavenging activity against HO•, with their highest HO• scavenging rates reaching only 44.91% and 55.86%, respectively. The antioxidant activities of both PPA and PPE were weaker than that of ascorbic acid. PPA remained almost stable in the <em>in vitro</em> simulated saliva fluid, while PPE exhibited weaker resistance to it. Both PPA and PPE exhibited weak resistance to the <em>in vitro</em> simulated gastric digestion fluids, but remained relatively stable in the <em>in vitro</em> simulated small-intestinal digestion fluid. The differences in physicochemical properties between PPA and PPE likely played an important role in their distinct biological activities.

This review synthesizes key scientific studies addressing these factors and explores the associated risks to oil quality and safety. Special attention is given to harmful contaminants such as aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub> (AFB<sub>1</sub>), 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol esters (3-MCPDE), Benzo[<em>a</em>]pyrene (BaP), and trans-fatty acids (TFAs), which pose significant health risks and quality concerns.

Further results from HS-SPME-GC‐MS showed that the volatile flavors of the flesh oil and liver oil were respectively attributed to 64 and 35 volatile compounds, each with unique key volatile compounds exhibiting different ROAVs. There were significant positive or negative correlations between 18 key differential lipids and 24 volatile compounds in both flesh oil and liver oil. Therefore, the complex lipid profiles are responsible for the unique volatile flavors of flesh oil and liver oil, and the differential lipids play a central role in their volatile flavor formation.
