Lysozyme amyloid fibrils as safe functional materials: From molecular insights to functional applications
Amyloid fibrils, once synonymous with neurodegenerative pathologies, are now being reimagined as functional biomaterials with unparalleled structural versatility. Among these, lysozyme amyloid fibrils (LAFs) emerge as a paradigm-shifting candidate for nutritional applications due to their inherent safety, biodegradability, and multifunctionality. This review integrates recent advances in understanding LAFs' hierarchical assembly mechanisms, safety validation, and their emerging roles in materials science (antimicrobial materials, hydrogels), biomedical fields (nutrient delivery), and environmental remediation (pollutant adsorbents). By synthesizing knowledge from multiple disciplines, we aim to provide a holistic view of this emerging field and highlight the promising future of lysozyme amyloid fibrils in the food and health industries. The potential of LAFs to serve as innovative solutions for pressing challenges in nutrition, health, and environmental sustainability underscores their significance as a new class of biomaterials, paving the way for future research and applications that leverage their unique properties.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
