Soy1 (IAVPTGVA) and Lup1 (LTFPGSAED), two peptides from soybean and lupin protein hydrolysis, have been singled out as dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) activity inhibitors in different model systems. However, their activity is affected by their instability toward intestinal proteases. Here, an innovative strategy based on nanogels was developed in order to increase both their stability and antidiabetic properties through encapsulation into the RADA16 peptide. The nanogel formation was stimulated by a solvent-triggered approach, allowing us to produce stable nanogels ( G' = 1826 Pa, stress-failure ≥50 Pa) with shear-thinning propensity. ThT binding assay, and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy experiments showed that nanogels self-aggregated into stable cross-β structures providing higher resistance against proteases (ex vivo experiments) and increased bioavailability of Soy1 and Lup1 peptides (in situ experiments on Caco-2 cells). Hence, this simple and harmless nanotechnological approach could be a key-step in making innovative nanomaterials for nutraceuticals delivering.

The resistance () gene family in plants is a vital component of the plant defense system, enabling host resistance against pathogens through interactions with pathogen effector proteins. These R genes often encode nucleotide-binding (NB-ARC or N) and leucine-rich-repeat (LRR or L) domains, collectively forming the NLR protein family. The NLR proteins have been widely explored in crops from and , but limited studies are available for crops in other families, including .

Can Different Dietary Protein Sources Influence the Survival, Growth, and Physiology of 0Marron () Exposed to Feed Deprivation?

Animals (Basel)

December 2024

School of Molecular and Life Sciences, Curtin University, 1 Turner Avenue, Bentley, WA 6102, Australia.

We investigated the effect of feed deprivation for 45 days on the growth, immunity, and health of 0marron () initially fed for 110 days on various protein sources including fishmeal (FM), poultry by-product meal (PBM), black soldier fly meal (BSFM), soybean meal (SBM), lupin meal (LM), and tuna hydrolysate. The marron were weighed and sacrificed immediately after feeding stopped (day 0) and at days 15, 30, and 45 after the feed deprivation trial commenced. Total haemolymph count, differential haemocyte count, lysozyme activity, protease activity, total bacterial count in the digestive tract, and organosomatic indices were analysed.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the effects of substituting wheat flour with soybean and gluten flour in the production of Pixian Douban (PXDB), a popular Chinese condiment, focusing on flavor improvement.
  • Results show that the flour substitutions significantly increased amino acid nitrogen content and enhanced flavor quality, particularly in the F2 group compared to the traditional method.
  • Metagenomic analysis indicates higher levels of specific bacteria and fungi in the F2 group, along with a greater abundance of enzymes related to key amino acids and flavor compounds, supporting the idea of optimizing PXDB production for better flavor.

Article Synopsis
  • Biosensors targeting food allergens, like Gly m TI in soybeans, enhance individual health safety and public health by facilitating compliance with food regulations and reducing allergen-related recalls.
  • Recent developments in biosensor technology, like portability and real-time monitoring, broaden their applications in food production, food service, and even home environments, making them essential tools for allergen detection.
  • A novel Gly m TI-MIP biosensor was successfully created to identify soybean protein in a variety of complex food matrices, achieving high sensitivity and minimizing cross-reactivity, thus improving food safety protocols for both processed and unprocessed foods.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explores food allergies related to legumes (such as peanuts, chickpeas, and soybeans), revealing that about 10% of people with allergic diseases have food allergies, with prevalence rates varying by legume type.
  • - In Poland, around 5% of the population is affected by food allergies, with peanuts identified as the most allergenic, alongside notable sensitization rates for other legumes like soy and lentils.
  • - The diagnosis involves various tests, and treatment may include emergency epinephrine and allergen immunotherapy, highlighting the need for better understanding and management of these allergies due to their potential severity.
