To obtain fundamental information for nutritional improvement of rice (Oryza sativa) seed proteins, the alpha polypeptides of the major storage protein glutelin varied over the genus Oryza were qualitatively and quantitatively characterized with unique methods. The polypeptides were maximally separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) composed of nonequilibrium pH gradient gel electrophoresis (NEPHGE) and higher temperature SDS-PAGE. Then the subunit for each polypeptide spot was identified with the sequential immunodetection called a step-by-step detection method, making use of highly subunit-specific antibodies. The comparative analysis showed considerable variation in the accumulation level of A-type and B-type glutelin subunits and found unknown glutelin subunits that were unable to be identified with the antibodies used. Wild species accumulating a high amount of lysine-rich B-type glutelin subunits and unknown unique subunits were identified as they might play a crucial role in nutritional quality improvement of the cultivated rice.

This study investigated the impact of high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) on gluten aggregation and dough rheology at different mixing stages, using wheat lines with deletions at the Glu-B1 locus. Dough rheology was analyzed across varying mixing levels, while the multiscale structure and composition of gluten were systematically characterized. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations under increased pressure (10 bar) provided detailed insights into the structural dynamics of different HMW-GSs.

Article Synopsis
- Selenylation of cysteine and methionine thiols, achieved through selenate supplements, boosts selenium-containing amino acids in crops, offering various health benefits.
- The study developed a mass spectrometry technique to effectively identify selenylation peptides, discovering 11 rice glutelin subunits and multiple selenylation peptides that demonstrated high confidence in their identification.
- The findings highlight numerous selenation sites in rice glutelin subunits, suggesting that these selenylated peptides may hold potential for various health-related bioactivities, such as neuroprotection and antioxidant effects.

High-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) is key factor in gluten strength and end-use quality. However, the contribution of individual HMW-GS on dough strength and Chinese southern-type steamed bread (CSTSB) quality remained unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of individual HMW-GS deletion on CSTSB quality.

Blending two or more materials to create better high-moisture meat analogues has been actively studied in the food science and technology field. Walnut protein is a high-quality plant-based protein resource, yet its full potential remains underexploited. Thus, this study focused on exploring the quality characteristics and fibrous structure formation mechanism of walnut protein (WP) and wheat gluten (WG) meat analogues during high-moisture extrusion cooking process.
