For their use in food products, they are processed into protein ingredients through dry or wet fractionation routes. The use of these ingredients is currently hampered by their inherent off-flavours, partly arising from lipid oxidation. In this study, both commercial and pilot-scale-produced faba bean and pea protein ingredients were used to determine their endogenous lipid profile, as well as the lipids' oxidative status. All protein ingredients contained considerable amounts of endogenous lipids compared to the raw material (4.4-6.6 g/100 g dry matter for concentrates and 7.4-7.5 g/100 g dry matter for isolates), and more than half these lipids were phospholipids. In addition, minor lipophilic compounds (tocopherols, carotenoids) were present in substantial amounts (240-2700 μg/g lipids) that varied both with the seed cultivar or growing conditions and with the seed-to-ingredient processing method. The endogenous lipids had undergone oxidation, as high and highly variable levels of hydroperoxides were found (2.7-57 μmol/g lipids). Yet, levels of secondary lipid oxidation markers were fairly low, and no strong occurrence of off-flavour associated volatiles, e.g., hexanal, was detected. Nonetheless, considering the high initial hydroperoxide concentration, it is expected that these off-flavours can quickly be formed upon hydroperoxide decomposition if these ingredients are applied in typical food matrices, such as plant-based dairy alternatives. These results substantiate the origin of lipid-derived off-flavours in pulse protein applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":94010,"journal":{"name":"Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)","volume":"217 ","pages":"116884"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144546574","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}

Given that the functional properties of gluten are highly dependent on disulfide bonds, this study investigated how controlled disulfide bond cleavage regulates the structural and functional characteristics of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-gluten composite gels. Through systematic sodium metabisulfite treatment, we demonstrated that moderate disulfide bond cleavage optimally balances protein unfolding and polyphenol conjugation, resulting in gels with superior mechanical strength and gelling properties. Progressive disulfide bond cleavage induced structural expansion of gluten proteins, exposing hydrophobic domains and enhancing the covalent binding efficiency between gluten and EGCG. This structural modification facilitated the formation of a more homogeneous and robust gel network, thereby improving mechanical integrity. However, excessive cleavage led to over-crosslinking between EGCG and gluten, ultimately disrupting the gel matrix and diminishing its structural stability. Notably, the EGCG-gluten covalent gels exhibited exceptional thermal, pH, and oxidative stability, along with potent antioxidant activity. During simulated gastrointestinal digestion, the gels demonstrated sustained EGCG release, significantly enhancing its bioaccessibility. These findings highlight that precise modulation of disulfide bond cleavage can effectively tailor the physicochemical and digestive properties of protein-polyphenol covalent gels. This strategy offers a promising approach for designing advanced functional food ingredients with enhanced bioactivity and controlled nutrient delivery capabilities, broadening their potential applications in nutraceutical and bioactive delivery systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":94010,"journal":{"name":"Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)","volume":"217 ","pages":"116890"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144546642","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}

This study investigated the effects of gastrointestinal digestion (GID) on glucosinolates (GSLs) and isothiocyanates (ITCs) of two radish microgreens cultivars (Raphanus sativus; cv. Daikon, and cv. Red Rambo) grown in a closed vertical system under either White (W) or Red+Blue (R + B) LEDs, combined with varying applications of UV-C radiation (0, 1, or 3 pulses). The individual and combined effects of LEDs and UV-C on GSLs and ITCs were evaluated before and after GID (INFOGEST static in vitro GID model). Relationships between compounds before/after digestion were explored through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Both cultivars are good sources of aliphatic GSLs (Daikon: 513.4 ± 23.1-681.5 ± 31.9, Red Rambo: 447.5 ± 38.5-532.0 ± 20.2 mg 100 g<sup>-1</sup>) and ITCs (Daikon: 0.9 ± 0.1-1.8 ± 0.3, Red Rambo: 1.3 ± 0.2-5.2 ± 1.0 mg 100 g<sup>-1</sup>). LED type was more impactful than UV-C radiation. Generally, R + B LEDs enhanced GSLs due to increasing dehydroerucin in Daikon, while improving ITCs in Red Rambo. Post-digestion, Red Rambo showed markedly higher sulforaphene levels compared to Daikon. Red Rambo's SEM significantly confirmed the conversion of glucoraphenin into sulforaphene and sulforaphane during GID. In Daikon, no significant relationships between compounds before/after GID were found. These findings suggest cultivar-specific metabolic pathways and responses to light, which can be optimized to enhance the accumulation of health-related compounds. The innovative use of SEM provided deeper insights into the metabolic conversions occurring during GID. The abundant sulforaphene levels from Red Rambo highlight this cultivar as an excellent source of this metabolite and its potential health benefits.</p>","PeriodicalId":94010,"journal":{"name":"Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)","volume":"217 ","pages":"116831"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144546573","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}

Acephate (ACE), an organophosphorus insecticide widely used in tomato cultivation, has been associated with various health risks, including neurotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, and metabolic disorders. Traditional methods for ACE detection, such as gas and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (MS), offer high sensitivity and specificity but are time-consuming, solvent-intensive, and unsuitable for rapid on-site analysis. In this context, ambient ionization mass spectrometry (AIMS) has emerged as a promising alternative, enabling direct analysis with minimal sample preparation. Paper spray ionization mass spectrometry (PSI-MS) stands out as an effective AIMS technique, offering rapid, low-cost pesticide residue analysis compared to traditional chromatographic systems. However, unmodified chromatographic paper lacks selectivity for diverse analytes. To enhance ACE detection, this study introduces a novel PSI-MS substrate modified with polyhydroxamicalkanoate (PHA), a polyacrylamide functionalized with hydroxamic and carboxylic acid groups. This functionalized paper improves ionization efficiency and sensitivity for ACE analysis in tomato samples. The successful functionalization of the polyacrylamide polymer was confirmed through PHA characterization, ensuring its suitability for analysis. The proposed optimized method enables a rapid analysis time of just 3 min, demonstrating excellent linearity, precision, and accuracy. It also achieved low limits of detection and quantification, at 0.24 and 13.25 μg/kg, respectively, providing an innovative and efficient approach for pesticide residue determination in food matrices.
