Grape seed flour by-product (GSBP) is an economic and renewable source of proteins, increasingly being explored due to interesting technological application such as colour protection in rich-anthocyanins beverages. Globulin-like proteins from GSBP were characterised by proteomic and computational studies. MALDI TOF/TOF analysis revealed the presence of two 11S globulins (acid and basic), whose 3D structures have been elucidated for the first time in Vitis vinifera L. grape seeds by using homology models and molecular dynamics. The secondary structure showed 11 α-helices and 25 β-sheets for acid and 12 α-helices and 24 β-sheets for basic 11S globulins. Molecular docking results indicate that both grape seed 11S globulins could establish different types of non-covalent interactions (π-π) with malvidin 3-O-glucoside (wine anthocyanin), which suggest a possible colour protection similar to that occurring in copigmentation phenomenon. These findings provide valuable information of globulin family proteins that could be relevant in food industry applications.

Variations in the proportions of the two major soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed globulins, glycinin (11S) and β-conglycinin (7S), significantly affect the nutritional and functional properties of soy-based products, but comprehensive methods for the identification and quantification of individual subunits of these proteins are currently lacking.

Heat facilitates aggregation and gel formation of soybean proteins. Ultrasonic reduces the size of protein aggregates. This study examined the impact of glycinin (11S) subunits on soybean lipophilic proteins (SLPs) gel formation and underlying mechanisms.

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.

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.
