    Abstract The oyster protein was ball milling treated in this work, and the effects on particle size, conformation, physicochemical properties, and in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) were investigated. After ball milling treatment, the particle size obviously decreased, and the protein powder became denser and more homogeneous. The ball milling treatment could not change the primary structure of oyster protein. However, it could affect the secondary structure and physicochemical properties. The disulfide bond increased from 8.18 to 9.14 μmol/g protein, while the protein surface hydrophobicity index increased from 0.088 to 0.176. The decreasing water‐holding capacity from 390% to 226% and the increasing oil‐binding capacity from 91.2% to 189.1% were related to the alterations of conformation and physicochemical properties. Ball milling could also improve the IVPD from 54.6% to 82.4%. These results provided theoretical basis for the application of ball milling treatment in the utilization of oyster protein in the food industry

    Abstract Expectations can profoundly modulate pain experience, during which the periaqueductal gray (PAG) plays a pivotal role. In this article, we focus on motivationally evoked neural activations in cortical and brainstem regions both before and during stimulus administration, as has been demonstrated by experimental studies on pain-modulatory effects of expectations, in the hope of unraveling how the PAG is involved in descending and ascending nociceptive processes. This motivational perspective on expectancy effects on the perception of noxious stimuli sheds new light on psychological and neuronal substrates of pain and its modulation, thus having important research and clinical implications.

    Abstract Background: As a well-known fact to the public, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) could bring serious risks for both pregnant women and infants. During this important investigation into the linkage between GDM patients and their altered expression in the serum, proteomics techniques were deployed to detect the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) of in the serum of GDM patients to further explore its pathogenesis, and find out possible biomarkers to forecast GDM occurrence.
    Aim: To investigation serum proteins differentially expressed in GDM were assessed using isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) proteomics and bioinformatics analyses.
    Methods: Subjects were divided into GDM and normal control groups according to the IADPSG diagnostic criteria. Serum samples were randomly selected from four cases in each group at 24-28 wk of gestation, and the blood samples were identified by applying iTRAQ technology combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Key proteins and signaling pathways associated with GDM were identified by bioinformatics analysis, and the expression of key proteins in serum from 12 wk to 16 wk of gestation was further verified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
    Results: Forty-seven proteins were significantly differentially expressed by analyzing the serum samples between the GDM gravidas as well as the healthy ones. Among them, 31 proteins were found to be upregulated notably and the rest 16 proteins were downregulated remarkably. Bioinformatic data report revealed abnormal expression of proteins associated with lipid metabolism, coagulation cascade activation, complement system and inflammatory response in the GDM group. ELISA results showed that the contents of RBP4, as well as ANGPTL8, increased in the serum of GDM gravidas compared with the healthy ones, and this change was found to initiate from 12 wk to 16 wk of gestation.
    Conclusion: GDM symptoms may involve abnormalities in lipid metabolism, coagulation cascade activation, complement system and inflammatory response. RBP4 and ANGPTL8 are expected to be early predictors of GDM.

    Abstract Emulsion stability could be improved by combining two natural emulsifiers. In this research, we studied the potential of combining golden pompano protein (GPP) and tea saponin (TS) on the O/W emulsion properties. At first, we investigated the influence of TS addition on the fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, free sulfhydryl content and fluorescence spectrum of the GPP. With the increase of TS addition, the content of α-helix decreased and the content of β-sheet increased, the free sulfhydryl content was also increased. We also determined the interfacial tension of GPP, TS and GPP-TS mixture. TS had stronger ability to reduce the oil-water interfacial tension. And the viscoelasticity of GPP-TS emulsion increased with the addition of TS, which might be due to the thickening effect of emulsifiers. These results indicated that the interaction between GPP and TS molecules was enhanced, which further increased the adsorption rate of GPP at the oil/water interface, reduced the interfacial tension, and improved the emulsification properties of the GPP-TS mixture. Compared with GPP emulsion, the mixed interfacial layer of GPP-TS emulsions got thicker and the steric repulsion become stronger. In addition, emulsion morphology was also affected by pH condition. GPP-TS emulsion droplets carried a great amount of net surface charge at alkaline condition, resulting in stronger electrostatic repulsion force and the emulsion distributed more uniformly. Rheological properties measurement indicated that the increase of TS addition increased the emulsion viscosity, thereby improving the emulsion stability. Our research demonstrated that the addition of TS could improve the GPP functional properties, and the GPP-TS mixture could form a more stable emulsion. This study showed that food-grade binary surfactant mixtures can be used to form stable emulsions with properties being tunable by altering the mixing ratios between surfactants. This mixed system demonstrated great potential as functional protein ingredient to control emulsion-type meat products or design of protein-based emulsion delivery systems in the food industry.

    Abstract Effects of ultrasonication (0 W, 150W, 300 W, 450 W, 600 W) for 16 min on the functional properties of mussels actomyosin (MAP) and the application at oil-in-water emulsion were investigated. Ultrasonication modified the physicochemical properties of MAP, consequently improving the emulsifying properties of MAP. Particle size and total sulfhydryl group content of ultrasonicated MAP decreased. However, free sulfhydryl content, absolute zeta-potential (from 17.18 to 41.00) and surface hydrophobicity increased. Ultrasonication improved solubility (from 38.5% to 57.1%) and emulsifying properties of MAP. In addition, the interfacial tension of MAP after ultrasonic treatment was reduced, which improved its adsorption rate at the oil-water interface (from 14.5% to 32.8%). Rheological properties of emulsion were improved after ultrasonication at 300 W. However, when the ultrasonic power increased from 300 W to 600 W, the emulsifying properties of MAP of the emulsion decreased. This may be due to excessive ultrasound treatment leading to protein aggregation and larger particle size, thereby reducing the protein adsorption rate at the oil-water interface. The results of this research suggested that ultrasound treatment has great potential in modifying emulsifying properties of shellfish muscle proteins, and ultrasound treatment at 20 kHz, 300W for 16 min was the optimum condition for modification.

    Abstract In this study, the impacts of high-intensity ultrasonication treatment (0, 150, 300, 450, 600 W) on the physicochemical and functional properties of yellow horn protein (YHP) were investigated. YHP dispersion (10 mg/mL) was treated with ultrasonication (20 kHz) at 0, 150, 300, 450, and 600 W for 10 min. The results showed that the physicochemical properties of YHP were improved with the increase of ultrasonic power, manifested by the increased surface hydrophobicity, together with the reduced interfacial tension. After ultrasonication, the solubility of YHP increased from 43.1% to 73.0%. In addition, with the increase of ultrasonic power, the emulsifying properties of YHP were also improved, including emulsifying activity index, emulsifying stability index, and percentage of adsorbed protein. After ultrasonication treatment, the particle size and turbidity of YHP dispersion were reduced, so the emulsion particles stabilized by YHP became smaller and the distribution was more uniform. As a result, emulsions stabilized by ultrasonicated YHP had higer storage stability. The results indicated that ultrasonication is a valuable method for improving the physicochemical and emulsifying properties of YHP, which provided a theoretical basis for YHP as a natural plant-based functional component in the food processing.

    Abstract In this study, the effect of high‐intensity ultrasound (HIUS) (200 and 400 W for 0, 5, 10 and 15 min respectively) on conformational changes, physicochemical, rheological and emulsifying properties of scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis) myofibrillar protein (SMP) was investigated. HIUS‐treated SMP had lower α‐helix content and higher β‐sheet content compared with the native SMP. HIUS treatment induced the unfolding of SMP and increased the surface hydrophobicity. The particle size of SMP decreased and the absolute zeta‐potential increased after ultrasonication, which in turn increased the solubility of SMP. The conformational changes and the improvement of physicochemical properties of SMP increased the ability for SMP to lower the interfacial tension at the oil–water interface and increased the percentage of adsorbed protein. As a result, the emulsifying properties, rheological properties of SMP and storage stability of emulsions were also improved. In conclusion, HIUS treatment has future potential for improving the emulsifying properties of SMP.
