Dual role of polyphenols in walnut protein extraction and functionality: Implications for processing and utilization
Walnut proteins are increasingly recognized for their sustainable, nutritional values and potential applications in plant-based food formulations. However, the presence of polyphenols during protein extraction and modification can exert a dual influence. This study revealed the influences of polyphenols on the extraction and functional properties of walnut proteins, offering key insights for process optimization in food development. Sequential aqueous ethanol washing of oleosome-extracted walnut flour (OEWF) effectively removed up to 99.97 % of phenolic compounds after 12 washes, significantly improving both yield and purity of extracted proteins. Phenolic removal altered the physicochemical characteristics of walnut proteins, including enhanced color attributes, structural shifts toward β-turn conformations from α-helix and random coil, and decreased thermal denaturation. Conversely, controlled conjugation of ellagic acid (EA) with walnut protein isolate (WPI) under alkaline conditions improved techno-functional performance. These enhancements were accompanied by structural changes similar to those observed upon polyphenol removal, yet functionally more advantageous. However, excessive EA incorporation (above a 4:1 ratio) led to browning, protein compaction, and diminished emulsifying stability, emphasizing the need for precise control. Notably, lysine loss following conjugation highlights potential nutritional trade-offs requiring further evaluation. Together, these findings demonstrated that polyphenols can either hinder or enhance walnut protein functionality depending on processing strategies. This integrated approach not only supported valorization of walnut by-products but also provides a pathway for developing multifunctional, sustainable plant proteins tailored for diverse food applications.
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.
