Improvement of oxidized myofibrillar protein gel properties by black rice extract.

In order to investigate the effects of black rice extract (BE) on the composition of oxidized myofibrillar protein (MP) gel, different concentrations of BE (0, 10, 20, 50 mg g) were analyzed experimentally. Results revealed that the addition of small doses of BE significantly inhibited the formation of carbonyl groups in oxidized MP, and improved surface hydrophobicity and gel water holding capacity. Additionally, 10 and 20 mg g BE increased the ordered structure of oxidized MP.

Proanthocyanidin B2 and transglutaminase synergistically improves gel properties of oxidized myofibrillar proteins.

We investigated the roles of Proanthocyanidin B2 (PCB2) and transglutaminase (TGase) in improving myofibrillar protein (MP) gel properties. TGase and PCB2 increased the surface hydrophobicity (41 %) and water holding capacity (WHC) (16 %) of the MP. Secondary and tertiary structures of MP were respectively analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and fluorescence spectrophotometry.

Loadings of lycopene in emulsion and sodium alginate-K-carrageenan composite systems: Preparation, characterization, bioaccessibility, and kinetics.

This research aims to prepare capsules emulsion using gallic acid (GA), dextran (DEX), bovine serum albumin (BSA), sodium alginate, and K-carrageenan (K-Car) as the biological delivery system of lycopene. The stability and bioaccessibility of lycopene were further improved through encapsulation of covalent complex of sodium alginate and K-Car. The molecular weight distribution and secondary structure of the conjugates were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Stability and bioaccessibility improvement of capsorubin using bovine serum albumin-dextran-gallic acid and sodium alginate.

This study attempted to prepare ternary conjugate emulsion from bovine serum albumin (BSA), dextran (DEX) and gallic acid (GA) to improve the stability of conjugate emulsion and the bioaccessibility of capsorubin. The release of capsorubin was further delayed by sodium alginate capsules in the intestinal phase. First, protein formed new functional groups and covalent bonds was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).
