    Abstract This study investigated the effects of radio frequency air cold plasma (RFACP) pretreatment on the multi-scale structures, physicochemical properties, enzymatic hydrolysis, and hydroxypropylation of tapioca starch. The results showed that cold plasma (CP) made starch granules rough on the surface and disrupted long- and short-range ordered structures, reducing relative crystallinity from 43.8 % to 37.4 % and R

    Abstract Cordyceps sinensis exopolysaccharide‑selenium nanoparticles (EPS-SeNPs) were successfully constructed, characterized, and its Se release kinetics and mechanism were also evaluated in our previous studies. However, the intestinal cellular uptake and transport capacities of EPS-SeNPs remain unknown. On the basis of our previous researches, this work was designed to evaluate the uptake and transport capacities of EPS-SeNPs (EPS/Se = 20/1, 3/1, 1/1, and 3/4) in intestinal epithelial (Caco-2) cells. Confocal laser scanning microscopy results indicated that the internalization of coumarin-6 labeled EPS-SeNPs was in a time-dependent process and eventually located in the cytoplasm, not in the nucleus. Endocytosis inhibitors were employed to evaluate the cellular uptake pathway of EPS-SeNPs, relevant results revealed that clathrin-, caveolae-, and energy-mediated pathways were participated in the internalization of EPS-SeNPs by Caco-2 cells. In addition, the transportation of EPS-SeNPs across Caco-2 cell monolayers was in a concentration-dependent manner. Different particle sizes of EPS-SeNPs presented different uptake and transport capacities in Caco-2 cells. Noteworthy, EPS/Se = 3/4 with the highest selenium content possessed the most superior cellular uptake and transport abilities in Caco-2 cells. The present work may contribute to illustrate the internalization and transport mechanism of EPS-SeNPs, thus facilitating its application in food and medical industries.

    Abstract This study evaluated the impact of high intensity ultrasound (HIU) on myofibrillar proteins (MP) from silver carp, and investigated the stabilizing effect of HIU-treated MP (UMP) on high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). Ultrasonic cavitation induced protein denaturation by decreasing size and unfolding conformation, to expose more hydrophobic groups, particularly UMP at 390 W, showing the smallest particle size (181.71 nm) and most uniform distribution. These structural changes caused that UMP under 390 W exhibited the highest surface hydrophobicity, solubility (92.72 %) and emulsibility (115.98 m

    Abstract This work investigated the effects and mechanisms of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber (SDF and IDF) on the gelation performance and fishy odors of silver carp surimi. The results showed that the gel properties of surimi increased and then decreased with increasing SDF content, and the best gel properties were achieved at 1 wt% SDF. The gel strength, elasticity and deformation resistance of surimi increased in a dose-dependent manner as affected by IDF, but its effect on viscosity and recovery ratio was similar to SDF. Moreover, 2 wt% SDF and 1 wt% IDF reduced the content and odor activity value (OAV) of most fishy compounds in surimi, and the latter was superior to the former. The rheological characteristics indicated that SDF affected the thermal gelation properties of surimi mainly through filling, concentration and volume exclusion, and IDF mainly through filling, concentration and intermolecular interactions between IDF and myofibrillar protein. Additionally, SDF and IDF inhibited the release of fishy odors by improving the gel network structure and their adsorption, but more SDF (2 wt%) promoted the formation of escape channels for odors release. In summary, 1 wt% IDF could simultaneously improve the gelation performance and fishy odors of silver carp surimi.

    Abstract The immunomodulatory effects and signalling pathways of five water-soluble yeast β-glucan fractions (WYG1–5) with different molecular weights (Mw) and chain conformations were investigated in RAW264.7 macrophages. All five WYG fractions were shown to increase nitric oxide (NO) production, phagocytosis activity and cytokine secretion compared with the normal group. The incubation of cells with WYG for 2 h and then with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h showed an inhibition of NO production, phagocytosis activity, cytokine secretion, and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cytokine mRNA compared with the LPS group. The results showed a two-way immunomodulatory effect of WYG on inflammatory factors, with the best effect for WYG-2 having a Mw of 2830 × 10³ g/mol and spherical conformation. Furthermore, both mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signalling pathways were triggered in the two-way immunomodulation. This study reveals the structure-activity relationship and provides a pharmacological basis for controlling inflammatory disorders with WYG.

    Abstract This work investigated the gelatinizing and hydration properties of raw and milled tapioca starches at micron and nano scale as well as their effects on gelation of myofibrillar proteins (MP) from Ctenopharyngodon idellus by analyzing rheology, texture and microstructure of heat-induced MP/starch blends. Milling induced starch granules damage to micron and nano scale, causing a fall in starch swelling power and a jump in water solubility. Among raw and milled starches, nano-starch had the best reinforcement effect on MP gel, i.e., MP/nano-starch showed the lowest critical gel concentration, highest G', strongest resistance to deformation and highest texture performance. Correlation analysis revealed that starch water solubility was responsible for the reinforced MP gel rather than starch swelling power. A schematic model was proposed for illustrating the interaction of starches and MP. All the blends had the ordered filamentous network as the basic skeleton, with some starches (granules and their fragments) in the voids or on the edge or surface of MP filaments as inert fillers, and some (chain segments) embedded in the filaments as active fillers. Almost all nano-starch were actively filled into the MP filaments to enhance the strength of filaments, thus achieving the best reinforcement effect on MP gel.

    Abstract This wok investigated the effects of Cordyceps sinensis exopolysaccharide‑selenium nanoparticles (EPS-SeNPs), EPS-Se-1, EPS-Se-2, EPS-Se-3, and EPS-Se-4) with particle sizes (79-124 nm) and Se contents (20.11-40.80 μg/mg) on endocytosis and antitumor activity against human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells and revealed the apoptosis-related mechanisms. EPS-SeNPs inhibited HepG2 cells proliferation in a dose and Se content-dependent manner by disrupting cell membrane and mitochondrial integrity, promoting reactive oxygen species production. EPS-SeNPs were endocytosed by HepG2 cells through a clathrin-mediated pathway and followed the quasi-first-order kinetics model, indicating physical adsorption played a dominant role in cellular uptake behavior of EPS-SeNPs. Notably, EPS-Se-3 with the lowest particle size (79 nm) showed the highest antitumor activity and the strongest ability to promote cell apoptosis. Western blotting results revealed that EPS-Se-3 increased expressions of Bax, Cytochrome c, cleaved caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3, Fas, p53, and cleaved caspase-8, while decreased the expressions of Bcl-2 and PARP, as contrast to that of control. Overall, EPS-SeNPs induced cell apoptosis through intrinsic mitochondria-mediated and extrinsic death receptor-mediated pathways.

    Abstract L. rhinocerotis, an edible and medicinal mushroom, has long been utilized as folk medicine and nutritional food in Southeast Asia and southern China. Polysaccharides are the main bioactive substances of L. rhinocerotis sclerotia, and they have attracted extensive attention of researchers both at home and abroad. In the past few decades, various methods have been applied to extract polysaccharides from L. rhinocerotis (LRPs) and the structural features of LRPs are closely related to the used methods of extraction and purification. Many studies have confirmed that LRPs possess various remarkable bioactivities, including immunomodulatory, prebiotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities and intestinal mucosa protective effect. As a natural polysaccharide, LRP has the potential to be a drug and functional material. This paper systematically reviews the recent studies on structural characteristics, modification, rheological properties and bioactivities of LRPs, and provides a theoretical basis for an in-depth study of the structure-activity relationship, and utilization of LRPs as therapeutic agents and functional foods. Additionally, the further research and development of LRPs are also prospected.
