Research paper thumbnail of Influence of pH Shift on Functional Properties of Protein Isolated of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Muscles and of Soy Protein Isolate

Food and Bioprocess Technology, 2011

Both acid- and alkali-aided processes lead to significant recoveries (P < 0.05) of proteins with substantial reduction of lipids in AlPi (0.81%) and AcPi (0.96%), the lowest for SPI (0.336%) facilitated by the processing method and sample used. There is greater lipid reduction at alkali pH, effective removal of impurities such as bones and scales, indicated by percentage ash (AcPi, 4.53%; AlPi, 3.75% and SPI, 3.51%). No major difference noted in sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis protein bands (14.4–97.4 kDa) possibly representing partial hydrolysis of myosin. Solubility was the highest at pH 3.0 and 11.0 and the lowest at isoelectric point with foam capacity showing similarity at varying pH. The addition of NaCl improved foam stability, possibly due to the increased solubility and surface activity of the soluble protein. On the whole, AcPi, AlPi and SPI manifested lower solubility and foamability at pH 4.0 and 5.0. AlPi exhibited appreciable levels of solubility, emulsion capacity, oil-holding capacity, viscosity and whiteness, whereas SPI had appreciable water-holding capacity. AcPi, AlPi and SPI have excellent relevance for product development based on their functionality.

The amount of protein recovered was considerably higher with the isoelectric precipitation than with the micellization procedure (60% and 30%, respectively). Protein contents were higher than 90% in protein isolates. Antinutritional factors content (alkaloids, lectins, and tannins) were reduced to innocuous levels after protein isolate preparation. Minimum protein solubility for the precipitated lupin protein isolate (LPI) was at pH 4.0, and between pH 4 and 6 for the micellized lupin protein isolate (LMI), increasing at both extremes of the pH scale. Water absorption for the LMI was 1.3 ml/g of protein and its oil absorption 2.2 ml/g of protein. The LPI had 1.7 ml/g of protein in both water and oil absorption. Foaming capacity and stability was pH-dependent. Foaming capacity was higher at pH 2 and lower near the protein isoelectric points. Minimum protein concentration for gelation in LMI was 8% w/v at pH 4, while for LPI was 6% at pH 4 and 6. Amino acid composition in L. campestris flour and protein isolates was high in lysine and low in methionine. Most of the essential amino acids in lupin protein isolates were at acceptable levels compared to a reference pattern for infants and adults. The electrophoretic pattern of both protein isolates showed three bands with different mobilities, suggesting that the protein fractions belong to α-conglutin (11S-like protein), β-conglutin (7S-like protein) and γ-conglutin. It is proven that some of the functional properties of L. campestris protein isolates are similar to those soybean protein isolates recovered under equal conditions.

Research paper thumbnail of Phosphorylation of the plasma-membrane H+-ATPase of oat roots by a calcium-stimulated protein kinase

Phosphotyrosine was not detected. Endogenous ATPase kinase activity was also observed in plasma-membrane vesicles isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) root cells as well as from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Identity of the phosphorylated oat root M r = 100000 polypeptide as the ATPase was confirmed using conventional glycerol density-gradient centrifugation to purify the native enzyme and by a new procedure for purifying the denatured polypeptide using reversephase high-performance liquid chromatography. Kinase-mediated phosphorylation of the oat root plasma-membrane H +-ATPase was stimulated by the addition of low concentrations of Ca 2+ and by a decrease in pH, from 7.2 to 6.2. These results demonstrate that kinase-mediated phosphorylation of the H+-ATPase is a plausible mechanism for regulating activity. They further indicate that changes in the cytoplasmic [Ca 2+] and pH are potentially important elements in modulating the kinase-mediated phosphorylation.

Soybean seeds showed the highest protein content (36.7%) and carbohydrate was the major constituent in the pea (59.4%) and the faba bean seeds (52.1%). Protein contents were higher than 80% in all the protein isolates.

Optimum extraction was at pH 9.2 in 0.02N sodium hydroxide with a solid:solvent ratio of 1:6. The defatted nour was extracted with sodium hydroxide solution, and bran was removed by screening the alkaline dispersion. After centrifuging the slurry that passed through the screen. the alkaline supernatant was adjusted to pH 5.0 to yield a precipitate (protein isolate) and supernatant. The defatted groats were first extracted with water followed by two sodium hydroxide extractions. Bran was removed by screening the second alkaline dispersion, and protein isolate was precipitated from the first alkaline extract at pH 5.7. Protein content (nitrogen x 6.25) of the isolate varied between 94 and 103% and accounted for 53-67% of total protein from defatted nour or groats. The isolate contained from 3.4-4.0g lysine and 2.2-4.2g total sulfur amino acids l6g nitrogen. Minimum nitrogen solubility of the isolates was near pH 5.5, and solubility was 78-83;; near pH 2.2. All protein isolates had good hydration capacity (2.9-3.9) and two of the isolates had good emulsifying activity (around 50%) and good emulsion stability (near 50 r ;;).

Water-binding capacity was in the range of 3.87-5.60 (g/g) while oil absorption capacity ranged between 3.74 and 9.18 (g/g). Basmati 370 had highest bulk density (0.21 g/ml). Rice bran protein concentrates of Basmati 370 exhibited good foam stability with a half-life of 42.6 h at 15% sugar concentration. Emulsifying capacity of protein concentrates ranged between 24% and 74%. Emulsions were fairly stable under different pH, salt and sugar concentrations. Functional properties of rice bran protein concentrates are comparable with casein and have good potential in food industry.

The degree of acylation of free amino groups was lower when succinic anhydride was used in place of acetic anhydride. The color of the acylated proteins became lighter as the degree of acylation was increased. Emulsification properties of protein preparations were improved due to acylation, particularly for succinylated products. While foaming properties of flax protein isolates were not improved by acylation, their solubility was markedly improved. Low degrees of acetylation improved fat binding capacity of flax protein isolates, but succinylation did not exhibit such an effect. Acylation also increased aromatic or surface hydrophobicity of the products, and the highest value was observed at the lowest degree of acetylation. The in-vitro enzymic hydrolysis of the isolated proteins was reduced due to the acylation process.

Three deamidated soybean protein isolates products with degree of deamidation of 3.5, 5.6, and 6.6% were prepared with reaction conditions as follows: soybean protein isolates concentration of 5% (w/v), glutaminase addition level of 400 U/kg soybean protein isolates, reaction temperature of 37°C, and reaction times of 12, 24, and 36 h, respectively. SDS-PAGE and size exclusion chromatography analysis showed that glutaminase exhibited weak ability to catalyze the hydrolysis of the peptide bonds in soybean protein isolates. The results indicated that the deamidated soybean protein isolates prepared showed improved solubility in a pH range of 3 to 10, and had higher emulsion stability on the oil-in-water dispersions when compared to the original soybean protein isolates, but had poor emulsifying activity. Rheological assay revealed that the suspensions prepared by the deamidated soybean protein isolates products showed higher apparent viscosity, and the values of apparent viscosity depended on the degree of deamidation of the deamidated soybean protein isolates product and the addition level of Ca in the suspensions. The storage modulus G′ and viscous modulus G′′ of the prepared suspensions gave similar behaviors as apparent viscosity. Three deamidated soybean protein isolates products prepared contained better iron (II)-chelating activity than the original soybean protein isolates as the evaluated index showed an increase of 19 to 30%. Limited deamidation of soybean protein isolates by glutaminase showed beneficial impacts on the selected properties of deamidated soybean protein isolates totally, and might be served as a practical approach to prepare multifunctional ingredients for the food industry.

The activity of ATP-PFK has also been studied in parallel as have PFK activities during the switch from dormant to non-dormant embryos in Arena sativa. PPcPFK activity has been demonstrated in all tissues of Pisum sativum embryos and of Arena sativa embryos including the scutellum and the Neurone layers. The PP~-PFK activity was greater than that of ATP-PFK in both dormant and non-dormant seeds though with only marginally more activity in the dormant as opposed to the non-dormant state.

Research paper thumbnail of Enzymatic hydrolysis of soy protein isolate and effect of succinylation on the functional properties of resulting protein hydrolysates

Soy protein hydrolysate (SPH) was obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of the SPI using a neutral proteinase at dierent degrees of hydrolysis (DH=4, 6, 8 and 10). A previous heat treatment of native SPI at 80 C for 10 and 30 min caused a gradual dissociation and/or unfolding of some fractions of the soy protein leading to a decrease in high molecular weight fractions. Gel ®ltration chromatography of SPH with DH=8 indicated that the soluble fraction consisted mostly of low molecular weight peptides having a molecular weight less than 12.5 kDa. Combined hydrolysis and succinylation greatly increased protein solubility and caused marked changes in other functional properties depending on the degree of mod-i®cation.

The thermal analysis of the isolate showed a glass transition (T g) at 43.4°C and DC p of 0.102 J/g/°C. The positive net charge of OPI and the positive or neutral charge of the modified OPI were apparent from the free capillary zone electrophoresis (FZCE) profiles. Acetylation significantly lowered foaming and emulsifying properties of OPI, while succinylation showed the highest foaming capacity, foam stability, and emulsion stability. Acetylated OPI showed the highest surface hydrophobicity compared to the other samples, while OPI was the most soluble of all. The water holding capacity of all samples analyzed was the same except for acetylated-crosslinked (ACXL). The surface tension test confirmed that unmodified and modified OPI possessed surface activity and the equilibrium surface tensions decreased sharply with increasing protein concentration and leveled off to a constant value. The elastic modulus, G 0 , for the acetylated OPI suspension exhibited the highest value, while the G 0 of the crosslinked (XLOPI) had the lowest. The plateau of G 0 ,

The yield of RBPI increased from 34% to 74.6% through the use of the enzymatic treatment. Nitrogen solubilities of RBPI were 53, 8, 62, 78, 82, and 80% at pHs 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 12.0, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that RBPI had denaturation temperature of 83.4°C with low endotherm (0.96 J/g of protein). RBPI had similar foaming properties in comparison to egg white. But emulsifying properties of RBPI were significantly lower than those of bovine serum albumin. The result of amino acid analysis showed that RBPI had a similar profile of essential amino acid requirements for 2-5year-old children in comparison to that of casein and soy protein isolate.

Protein hydrolysates of three different degrees of hydrolysis (4.1%, 6.4% and 8.3% respectively) were obtained. SDS-PAGE analysis demonstrated that oat globulin was the major protein component in OBPC. After trypsin treatment, acidic polypeptides were partly degraded into large peptides (Mr=29,000–33,000) and small peptides (Mr&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;20,000); however, basic

Protein isolates extracted from defatted oat flour at alkaline pH were acylated by 0.20 g/g of succinic anhydride. The protein isolate was also modified using a mild acidic treatment (HCl, 0.5 N). Succinylation and deamidation improved solubility and emulsifying activity of the native protein isolate. Foaming capacity of oat protein isolate increased after deamidation, whereas succinylation decreased it. The deamidated and succinylated proteins had lower foam and emulsion stabilities than had their native counterpart. Water-and oil-binding capacity, in both modified oat proteins, was higher than those of the native oat protein isolate.

The thermal analysis of the isolate showed a glass transition (T g) at 43.4°C and DC p of 0.102 J/g/°C. The positive net charge of OPI and the positive or neutral charge of the modified OPI were apparent from the free capillary zone electrophoresis (FZCE) profiles. Acetylation significantly lowered foaming and emulsifying properties of OPI, while succinylation showed the highest foaming capacity, foam stability, and emulsion stability. Acetylated OPI showed the highest surface hydrophobicity compared to the other samples, while OPI was the most soluble of all. The water holding capacity of all samples analyzed was the same except for acetylated-crosslinked (ACXL). The surface tension test confirmed that unmodified and modified OPI possessed surface activity and the equilibrium surface tensions decreased sharply with increasing protein concentration and leveled off to a constant value. The elastic modulus, G 0 , for the acetylated OPI suspension exhibited the highest value, while the G 0 of the crosslinked (XLOPI) had the lowest. The plateau of G 0 ,

The yield of RBPI increased from 34% to 74.6% through the use of the enzymatic treatment. Nitrogen solubilities of RBPI were 53, 8, 62, 78, 82, and 80% at pHs 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 12.0, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that RBPI had denaturation temperature of 83.4°C with low endotherm (0.96 J/g of protein). RBPI had similar foaming properties in comparison to egg white. But emulsifying properties of RBPI were significantly lower than those of bovine serum albumin. The result of amino acid analysis showed that RBPI had a similar profile of essential amino acid requirements for 2-5year-old children in comparison to that of casein and soy protein isolate.

Protein hydrolysates of three different degrees of hydrolysis (4.1%, 6.4% and 8.3% respectively) were obtained. SDS-PAGE analysis demonstrated that oat globulin was the major protein component in OBPC. After trypsin treatment, acidic polypeptides were partly degraded into large peptides (Mr=29,000–33,000) and small peptides (Mr&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;20,000); however, basic

Protein isolates extracted from defatted oat flour at alkaline pH were acylated by 0.20 g/g of succinic anhydride. The protein isolate was also modified using a mild acidic treatment (HCl, 0.5 N). Succinylation and deamidation improved solubility and emulsifying activity of the native protein isolate. Foaming capacity of oat protein isolate increased after deamidation, whereas succinylation decreased it. The deamidated and succinylated proteins had lower foam and emulsion stabilities than had their native counterpart. Water-and oil-binding capacity, in both modified oat proteins, was higher than those of the native oat protein isolate.
