AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to separate and identify antioxidant peptides from Amaranthus mantegazzianus proteins, focusing on a simulated gastrointestinal digest.

- Among the synthesized peptides based on the 11S globulin, four showed significant antioxidant activity, containing structural features typical of known antioxidant peptides, particularly with bulky aromatic residues.
Article Abstract
The objective of the present work was to separate and identify antioxidant peptides from a simulated gastrointestinal digest (Id) from Amaranthus mantegazzianus proteins (I), which has previously been demonstrated to have this activity. I and Id were separated by preparative RP-HPLC. Fractions were evaluated by the ORAC method and the more active ones were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Each fraction presented diverse peptides from different proteins, most of them from the 11S globulin. After grouping the peptides from 11S globulin according to their overlapping sequences, and based on previous information about structure-activity relationships, ten sequences were synthesized, in order to evaluate their antioxidant activity. Four peptides presented interesting activity: AWEEREQGSR>YLAGKPQQEH∼IYIEQGNGITGM∼TEVWDSNEQ. They exhibited some of the structural characteristics already known to demonstrate this activity, all of them containing at least one bulky aromatic residue. All belonged to little structured, internal or exposed regions of the acid subunit of the 11S globulin.

Assessment of transglutaminase catalyzed cross-linking on the potential allergenicity and conformation of heterologous protein polymers.

Transglutaminase (TGase)-mediated cross-linking has gained significant attention due to its potential to reduce the allergenicity of food proteins. This study investigates the effects of TGase cross-linking on allergenicity and conformational modifications in a dual-protein system comprising soy protein isolate (SPI) and β-lactoglobulin (β-LG). The results showed that TGase cross-linking effectively decreased the allergenic potential of both SPI and β-LG, with a more pronounced reduction observed in the allergenicity of soy protein in the dual-protein system.

Article Synopsis
- - This study looked at how the alkaline Maillard reaction affects the properties of conjugates made from soybean 11S globulin and debranched starch (DBS), noting that the binding degree was affected by the ratio of these polymers.
- - The best results, like higher thermal stability and smaller particle size, were found with a 2:1 ratio of globulin to DBS, which also showed improved solubility and surface characteristics.
- - Advanced techniques, including 3D fluorescence scanning and molecular docking, revealed insights into the structural changes and interactions between the proteins and polysaccharides, suggesting new applications in food and medical fields.
Exploring the biodiversity of plant proteins for sustainable foods: Composition and emulsifying properties of the proteins recovered by aqueous extraction from camelina ( L.) seeds.

The food transition towards an increased consumption of plant proteins aimed at limiting environmental impacts requires a diversification of plant protein sources. In this study, we explored the potentialities of the sustainable oilseed crop camelina to provide dietary proteins and to prepare oil-in-water emulsions. An innovative green refinery process, including the removal by ultrasound of the mucilage attached at the surface of the seeds and extraction by grinding in water at pH 8, was used to recover aqueous extracts containing camelina seed proteins.

This study aimed to explore the impact of varying Ca concentrations and 11S/7S ratios on the gel performance of soybean protein gels (SPGs) under ultrasonication (400 W, 15 min) and to clarify the mechanisms involved. Results showed Ca addition altered the structure of soybean 11S/7S protein gels. Low Ca levels increased the turbidity, hardness, and water retention of the gels, whereas high levels disrupted the orderly aggregation of 11S/7S proteins, creating a rough, porous network.

In this work, with parathion, a typical forbidden organophosphate pesticide as target drug, an enhanced nanobody-driven bioluminescent immunoassay based on the engineered split-nanoluciferase (NanoLuc) was proposed. Concretely, through labeling 11S and β10, two split-NanoLuc units onto the anti-parathion nanobody (Nb) VHH9 and the artificial antigen H1 coupled with carrier protein ovalbumin (H1-OVA) respectively, an NanoLuc Binary Technology (NanoBiT) system was firstly developed in the form of homogeneous immunoassay, in which the luminescence signal was produced by the reassembled NanoLuc after the combination of the 11S-fused VHH9 and β10-labeled H1-OVA. Subsequently, in order to enhance the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, a novel strategy of splitting 11S into two smaller subunits Δ11S and β9 was adopted so then an NanoLuc Ternary Technology (NanoTeT) system based on tri-part components of β9-fused VHH9, β10-labeled H1-OVA and Δ11S was successfully established.
