AI Article Synopsis
- Protein modification enhances the bioavailability of polyphenols, and polyphenols boost the functional properties of pea protein.
- Four polyphenols (gallic acid, ferulic acid, catechin, and kaempferol) were chemically bonded to pea protein using methods like ultrasonic grafting, and their interaction and structural changes were analyzed.
- The resulting conjugates displayed significantly improved antioxidant activity, thermal stability, and emulsifying properties compared to natural pea protein, making them promising for better polyphenol delivery in complex emulsions.
Article Abstract
Protein modification can improve the bioavailability of polyphenols, while polyphenols can also improve the functional properties of pea protein. Four representative polyphenols (gallic acid, ferulic acid, catechin and kaempferol) were covalently combined with pea protein by ultrasonic assisted grafting (free radical grafting, laccase method and alkali treatment), and the structure and functional properties of the conjugated compounds were characterized. The interaction was evaluated by surface hydrophobicity, free sulfhydryl content determination and SDS-PAGE. Fluorescence spectra and Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed that polyphenol binding reduced the α-helix content of pea protein and changed its structure. In addition, the antioxidant activity of the conjugate was significantly improved compared to natural pea protein (DPPHby 7.5 to 20.2 times, ABTSby 2.8 to 4.3 times, FRAP by 1.4 to 4.1 times). At the same time, the introduction of polyphenols also optimized the thermal stability of pea protein, and increased the denaturation temperature of pea protein (113.1 °C) by 0.19-6.63 °C. The emulsifying properties were also enhanced by covalent modification, and the emulsifying properties of the ultrasound-assisted conjugates were better. In summary, the pea protein-polyphenol conjugate provides a new solution for improving the bioavailability of polyphenols and preparing polyphenol delivery systems for complex emulsions.

Tropical peas can be used as both animal feed and human food but the nutritional quality of their proteins for humans is currently poorly documented. Here, 3 varieties of tropical peas were studied at two stages of seed maturity (green or dry): Cajanus Cajan (CC), Vigna Unguiculata (VU) and Lablab Purpureus (LP). Pea seeds were prepared traditionally (soaking and cooking).

Besides their nutritional role, proteins are recognized for their ability to regulate both short- and long-term energy homeostasis. However, studies investigating the effects of proteins based on their quality and origin remain limited and often lack comparability. Nonetheless, existing research consistently underscores the influence of proteins on food intake regulation.

American elderberry juice (EBJ) and fermented elderberry juice (EBF) were spray dried using two different carriers: S. cerevisiae yeast (SC), used for juice fermentation and as encapsulating agent, and pea protein, to produce protein-polyphenol ingredients. The spray drying (SD) performance (solids recovery, SR; phenolic retention, PR) and quality attributes (physicochemical and functional properties, phytochemical content and bioaccessibility after in vitro digestion) of eight treatments of spray dried elderberry particles were determined.
