This study explored the effect of electrical stimulation (ES) and Pediococcus pentosaceus LL-07 (P. pentosaceus LL-07) and Staphylococcus simulans QB7 (S. simulans QB7) on the quality and microbial community of loin ham during the ripening. After the ES and starter culture treatments, the Aw and pH were decreased. Surface hydrophobicity, myogenic fiber fragmentation index (MFI), TCA-soluble peptide, amino nitrogen and free amino acids (FAAs) were also significantly higher than the control group (CK) (P < 0.05). This increase was more significant in the E-S group (electrical stimulation followed by inoculation with P. pentosaceus LL-07 and S. simulans QB7) than the rest of the experimental group (E、S、S-E group). Furthermore, the CK and E-S groups were subjected to a bacterial community comparison experiment. The microbial diversity of these two groups was increased. Pediococcus spp. and Staphylococcus spp. became the dominant bacteria in E-S groups during the ripening. Correlation analyses show a strong correlation between protein hydrolysis, microorganisms and FAAs. In conclusion, the combination of ES and starter culture could promote protein hydrolysis, the accumulation of FAAS, and improves the bacterial community of loin ham.

Effects of enzymolysis by seven proteases (Alcalase, Bromelain, Flavourzyme, Papain, Pepsin, Protamex, and Trypsin) with distinct cleavage specificities on the emulsification performance of hempseed protein (HPI) and its correlation with the structural and interfacial characteristics were explored in this study. Upon enzymolysis, a remarkable decrease in α-helix and β-turn was observed in resultant hydrolysates (HPH), accompanied by a rise in β-sheet and random coil, notably by Alcalase, Bromelain, Papain, and Trypsin. Overall, proteolysis led to noticeable reductions in surface hydrophobicity and total sulfhydryls as well as a redshift in intrinsic fluorescence, with Papain showing the most pronounced effects, possibly due to its higher hydrolysis degree (4.

Currently, little is known about how complex carbohydrates (maltodextrins) with varying degrees of polymerisation (DP) and molecular branching interact with α-amylase in human saliva and the associated amounts and structures of generated reducing sugars. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate salivary α-amylase and the subsequent reducing sugars generated with complex carbohydrate stimuli. A secondary aim was to investigate reducing sugar generation and complex carbohydrate taste sensitivity.

There is an ever-increasing demand for novel plant proteins that are non-allergenic, nutritionally complete, adequately functional, and can be sustainably sourced. RuBisCo is a protein that fulfills these requirements and can be sourced from alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Therefore, this study investigated several techniques to adequately extract alfalfa protein.
