This study aimed to characterize pea composites' functionalities and investigate the feasibility of pea composites-based heat modulated meat analog (MA) production. Pea composites (concentrate, flour) were used as the main source of plant-proteins in preparation of MA. Techno-functional, sensorial, microstructural, chemical, and thermal characteristics of pea composites as well as the prepared MAs were investigated. Results showed that, protein content and particles size significantly (p < 0.05) influenced the water holding capacity (0.94 g/g ± 0.03-1.17 g/g ± 0.08), oil holding capacity (1.08 g/g ± 0.02-1.32 g/g ± 0.04), foaming capacity (49.20 % ± 0.12-58.9 % ± 0.98), foam stability (63.15 % ± 0.21-71.82 % ± 0.68), emulsion stability (61.73 % ± 1.68-66.02 % ± 1.25), least gelation concentration (at pH 7: 8.02 % ± 0.91-18.02 % ± 0.21), and solubility (at pH 7:70.51 % ± 2.54-93.71 % ± 1.86) of studied pea composites; that subsequently influenced the formation of heat-modulated MAs. Color, stickiness, moldability, microstructure (surface plot, fractal dimension: 2.771 ± 0.006-2.884 ± 0.009, surface openings: 8.76 % ± 1.2533.24 % ± 1.28), thermal (denaturization temperature:103.41 °C ± 3.87-161.20 °C ± 1.35, enthalpy: 1085.10 J/g ± 115.42-1322.71 J/g ± 185.65), and chemical attributes of MAs were associated with the protein content (25.30 % ± 0.98-60.30 % ± 1.87) and particle size (d:2.30 μm ± 0.32-15.02 μm ± 1.35; d:6.30 μm ± 1.02-59.01 μm ± 2.35; d:15.11 μm ± 2.34-137.01 μm ± 15.21) of pea composites. MA formulated with pea flour showed better moldability and acceptability in comparison to pea concentrates. This study exposed the use of pea flour as a feasible option to produce heat modulated meat analogs.

This study investigates the impact of maternal gestation diets with varying fiber contents on gene expression and chromatin accessibility in fetuses and piglets fed a low fiber diet post weaning. High-fiber maternal diets, enriched with sugar beet pulp or pea internal fiber, were compared to a low-fiber maternal diet to evaluate their effects on liver and muscle tissues. The findings demonstrate that maternal high-fiber diets significantly alter chromatin accessibility, predicted transcription factor activity and transcriptional landscape in both fetuses and piglets.

Bean proteins, known for their sustainability, versatility, and high nutritional value, represent a valuable yet underutilized resource, receiving less industrial attention compared to soy and pea proteins. This review examines the structural and molecular characteristics, functional properties, amino acid composition, nutritional value, antinutritional factors, and digestibility of bean proteins. Their applications in various food systems, including baked goods, juice and milk substitutes, meat alternatives, edible coatings, and 3D printing inks, are discussed.

Although fullerene bisadducts are promising electron-transporting materials for tin halide perovskite solar cells, they are generally synthesized as a mixture of isomeric products that require a complicated separation process. Here, we introduce a phenylene-bridged bis(pyrrolidino)fullerene, Bis-PC, which forms only a single isomer due to geometrical restriction. When used in a tin perovskite solar cell with a PEAFASnI (PEA: phenylethylammonium and FA: formamidinium) light absorption layer, the resulting open-circuit voltage ( ) was 0.

To date, no psychotropic medication has shown to effectively halt progression to psychosis among individuals at Clinical High-Risk for psychosis (CHR), fueling the search for novel therapeutic agents. Recent evidence supports Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) signaling as a potential psychosis biomarker, also indicating a therapeutic role for its supplementation in the treatment of psychotic disorders. Nonetheless, the effect of sustained PEA intake in CHR subjects has never been explored so far.
