Soy protein isolate (SPI) and wheat gluten (WG) are widely used in commercial food applications Asia for their nutritional value functional properties. However, individually each exhibits poor gelation. In this study, we examined the microbial transglutaminase (MTGase)-induced gelation properties of SPI WG mixtures with high intensity ultrasonic pretreatment. Ultrasonic treatment reduced particle size SPI/WG molecules, which led to improvements surface hydrophobicity (Ho) free sulfhydryl...

Considering the enormous demand for meat in people's daily lives, development of efficient freshness assays is great significance safeguarding food safety. Here, a novel bimetallic nanozyme Fe@CeO2 with high peroxidase-like activity was first synthesized by embedding ferrocenecarboxylic acid (Fc) into hollow CeO2 nanospheres, which combined xanthine oxidase (XOD) to develop self-supplying H2O2-facilitated enzymatic cascade catalytic system XOD + Fe@CeO2, yielding indicator hypoxanthine...

Abstract BACKGROUND Wheat gluten comprises a good quality and inexpensive vegetable protein with an ideal amino acid composition. To expand the potential application of wheat in food industry, effect different additives on physicochemical structural properties gluten/starch mixtures during twin‐screw extrusion was investigated. RESULTS Macromolecules were observed to form extrusion, which may be attributed formation new disulfide bonds non‐covalent interactions, as well Maillard reaction...

The integration of soybean protein isolate (SPI) with wheat gluten (WG) crosslinked via microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) may enhance the formation ϵ-(γ-glutamyl)lysine covalent bonds, because SPI is rich in lysine and WG contains more glutamine. Microwave pretreatment accelerate enzymatic reactions. In this study, we aimed to elucidate effects microwave on gelation properties MTGase.Interestingly, gel strength, water-holding capacity (WHC) storage modulus (G') values MTGase-induced SPI/WG...

A low-oil-phase emulsion gel (Φ < 0.3) was prepared via high-pressure homogenization (HPH) of composite nanoparticles soybean protein isolate (SPI) with different curcumin concentrations. Native-PAGE electrophoresis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that the SPI were bound by hydrophobic interactions within (SPI-Cur-NPs). The three-phase contact angle (θo/w) altered addition curcumin, particles exhibited outstanding wettability (θo/w = 80.6...

Pathogenic bacteria are pathogens widely spread that capable of causing mild to life-threatening diseases in human beings or other organisms. Rationally organizing the simple helical motif double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) tiles into designed ensemble structures with architecturally defined collective properties could lead promising biosensing applications for pathogen detection. In this work, we facilely engineered multivalent hairpin aptamer probe-tethered monolayers (MHAP-DNA monolayers) and...
