A pH shift treatment aided by high pressure homogenization (HPH) with various pressures (0-120 MPa) was employed to structurally modify hempseed protein isolate (HPI). Compared with individual pH shift or HPH treatment, HPH-assisted pH shift improved the structural flexibility of HPI, as revealed by the increased random coil in protein secondary structure. With the incorporation of HPH into pH shift, the intrinsic fluorescence intensity was remarkably attenuated and redshifted, whereas the surface hydrophobicity was pronouncedly boosted, indicating the extensive unfolding of protein structure. Moreover, the cotreated HPI exhibited a smaller and more homogenous particle size, notably at a higher pressure. Consequently, the solubility was drastically raised by the cooperated treatments, to the maximum value (62.8 %) at 120 MPa. These physicochemical changes in the cotreated HPI facilitated a consolidated interfacial activity. Moreover, the cooperated treatment, especially highly pressured (120 MPa), facilitated the penetration and rearrangement of proteins at the oil-water interface.

Hempseed meal (HSM) is a potential alternative feedstuff for livestock due to its high protein content, but it has not been approved for animal feed in the United States due to safety concerns. This study was conducted to determine the effects of HSM on feed intake, growth performance, serum biochemistry, ruminal papillae morphology, ruminal fermentation profiles, and carcass characteristics of intact male goats. Thirty-six Boer × Spanish intact male goats were randomly assigned to one of four experimental diets ( = 9 goats/diet): 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% HSM on as-fed basis.

Hempseed protein isolate (HPI), a novel plant protein, possesses advantages as an alternative food protein from a nutritional and sustainable perspective. This study investigated HPI modification by examining the effects of high-pressure homogenization combined with high-intensity ultrasound (HPH + HIU) on the physicochemical and functionality of HPI. Firstly, the optimal homogenization pressure (180 MPa) was selected based on the solubility and particle size of HPI.

Effects of limited enzymolysis by Alcalase and Protamex on the foaming performance of hempseed protein (HPI) and its correlation with structural and interfacial rheological characteristics were investigated. Proteolysis induced a conformational shift from α-helix and β-sheet to random coil, indicating enhanced molecular flexibility. The surface hydrophobicity of Alcalase hydrolysates encountered an initial increase (5 min) followed by a sharp drop with prolonged hydrolysis, whereas Protamex showed minimal effects.

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is a potential symptom of stress-induced depression/anxiety (DA), which induces TNF-α expression. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of () P72, isolated as a strain suppressing lipopolysaccharide-induced expression of TNF-α in Caco2 cells, on DA and insomnia in immobilization stress (IS)- or cultured fecal microbiota (cFM)-treated mice. Oral administration of live or heat-killed P72 (hP72) reduced IS- or cFM-induced DA-like behaviors.
