AI Article Synopsis
- * Nine potential umami peptides were analyzed using various tools, leading to the identification of seven peptides confirmed to enhance umami flavor significantly when mixed with monosodium glutamate.
- * The findings provide insights into how these peptides interact with taste receptors, laying the groundwork for their potential use as food additives and improving our understanding of taste compounds in yeast proteins.
Article Abstract
This study aimed to unravel the peptide profiles of six distinct yeast protein samples and identify novel umami peptides within them. Peptide characteristics analysis support the proposition that yeast protein peptide pools represent exceptional reservoirs of umami peptides. Nine potential umami peptides were screened using the iUmami_SCM, UMPred-FRL, Umami_YYDS, Umami-MRNN, Innovagen, Expasy-ProtParam, and ToxinPred tools. Peptides AGVEDVY, LFEQHPEYRK, AFDVQ, GPTVEEVD, NVVAGSDLR, ATNGSR, and VEVVALND (1 mg/mL) were confirmed to possess umami taste, and the first five peptides exhibited significant umami-enhancing effects on 0.35 % monosodium glutamate. Molecular docking indicated that peptide residues His, Arg, Tyr, Asp, Gln, Thr, Ser, and Glu primarily bound to His71, Ser107/109/148, Asp147/218, and Arg277 of T1R1 and Ser104/146, His145, Asp216, Tyr218, and Ala302 of T1R3 through hydrogen bonds. This study enriches the umami peptide repository for potential food additive use and establishes a theoretical foundation for exploring taste compounds in yeast proteins and their broader applications.

Cyclization enhances various properties of peptides and has been widely used in life sciences, but it has not been explored in taste peptides. Our study found that cyclization of the N/C termini of the peptides (head-to-tail) via amide bond is a potentially effective modification strategy for umami peptides to improve their properties. This is the first report on umami cyclic peptides.

Through a quantitative analysis of saltiness perception, favorable enzymatic hydrolysis parameters were confirmed for the preparation of saltiness-enhancing peptide mixtures from . The enzymatic hydrolysate was fractionated into four fractions (F1-F4) by gel chromatography, with F3 exhibiting the strongest saltiness-enhancing effect (22% increase). LC-MS/MS analysis of F3 identified 36 peptides, and their secondary structures and interactions with the TMC4 receptor were examined through circular dichroism spectroscopy and molecular docking.

Different taste cells express unique cell-type markers, enabling researchers to distinguish them and study their functional differentiation. Using single-cell RNA-Seq of taste cells in mouse fungiform papillae, we found that Cellular Communication Network Factor 3 (Ccn3) was highly expressed in Type III taste cells but not in Type II taste cells. Ccn3 is a protein-coding gene involved in various biological processes, such as cell proliferation, angiogenesis, tumorigenesis, and wound healing.

Soybean peptide (SP) exhibits significant angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory (ACEI) activity, however, its strong bitterness restricts its use in food industry. This study aimed to reduce the bitterness of SP by natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES)-driven Maillard reaction (MR). Results showed that both the mixtures of Glucose-NADES and the Glucose-Xylose-NADES formed the hydrogen bonds and shown good thermal stability analyzed by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
