Abstract:
... Food proteins are of particular interest in the design of delivery systems due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, high nutritional value, abundance and desirable functional properties. However, controlling the rate of release of the bioactive compounds from food protein carriers in simulated media presents challenges for the added value of food and nutraceutical technology. This review f ...

Abstract:
... Although polar bears (Ursus maritimus) and brown bears (U. arctos) have been exhibited in zoological gardens for centuries, little is known about their nutritional needs. Multiple recent studies on both wild and captive polar bears and brown bears have found that they voluntarily select dietary macronutrient proportions resulting in much lower dietary protein and higher fat or digestible carbohydr ...

Abstract:
... Resistance training and a sufficient amount of dietary protein have been suggested to build up and maintain muscle mass, strength and function into old age. As there is still no consensus on the optimum amount of protein intake in older people, this study aims to evaluate first whether it is achievable to double the recommended amount, which is 1 g/kg BW/d in German speaking countries, via food ad ...

Abstract:
... The food-derived peptides hydrolyzed from native food protein matrix exhibited various bioactivities and multimeric structures, which make them the promising well-defined nanoplatforms candidates to co-deliver themselves with other bioactive compounds. In this study, zein-egg white derived peptides-chitosan (Z-EWDP-CS) ternary nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully fabricated by the spontaneous ass ...

Abstract:
... The rapid development of nanoscience and nanoengineering provides new perspectives on the composition of food materials, and has great potential for food biology research and applications. The use of nanoparticle additives and the discovery of endogenous nanoparticles in food make it important to elucidate in vivo safety of nanomaterials. Nanoparticles will spontaneously adsorb proteins during tra ...

Abstract:
... Scientific studies about decapod crustaceans’ digestive physiology have increased, being an important topic with novel results in the last years. This revision aims to show how the study of crustacean peptidases has evolved, from the classical biochemical characterization studies to the assessment of their usefulness in biotechnological and industrial processes, with emphasis on commercial species ...

This study aimed to expand the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) nutrient database (ENDB) by adding amino acid (AA) values, using the U.S. nutrient database (USNDB). Additionally, we aimed to evaluate these new protein and AA intake estimates from the EPIC dietary questionnaires (DQ) and 24-h dietary recalls (24-HDR) using different matching procedures.Dietary ene ...

Abstract:
... This study aimed to determine the protein content and the ratio of meat that can be added to the diet of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae for the sustainable recycling of food waste using insects. We conducted experiments feeding refined diets to BSF larvae with adjusted protein content and diets with minced pork, and analyzed the correlations between dietary nutrients and larval weight gain, mortal ...

Abstract:
... Diet is an essential factor determining the ratio of pathogenic and beneficial gut microbiota. Hydrolysates and bioactive peptides have been described as crucial ingredients from food protein that potentially impact human health beyond their roles as nutrients. These compounds can exert benefits in the body, including modulation of the gut microbiota, and thus, they can reduce metabolic disorders. ...
... In the work, the emulsifying properties of three representative globular proteins (soy β-conglycinin, glycinin and bovine serum albumin; designated as SC, SG and BSA, respectively) with different structural characteristics, as affected by the addition of NaCl (0–1000 mM), were investigated and compared, using two emulsion systems at oil fractions (ø) of 0.2 and 0.8, respectively. The modulation of ...

Abstract:
... Microplastic (MP) pollution is increasing worldwide and affecting aquatic fauna in different ways, which endangers current aquatic resources in a still unknown extent. MP-induced threats to marine fauna are critical for developing countries, where waste treatment may be not optimal and coastal communities rely heavily on marine resources for dietary protein. In this study, we assess the importance ...
... Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a global health concern with no approved drugs. High-protein dietary intervention is currently the most effective treatment. However, its underlying mechanism is unknown. Here, using Drosophila oenocytes, the specialized hepatocyte-like cells, we find that dietary essential amino acids ameliorate hepatic steatosis by inducing polyubiquitination of Plin2, ...
... This study aims to reveal the mechanism of the interaction between folic acid (FA) and egg ovalbumin (OVA) through the method of multi-spectroscopic, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation in order to probe OVA as the possibility of a carrier of unstable vitamins. The results of the fluorescence spectra indicated a static quenching in the OVA-FA with a strong affinity of 6.998 × 10⁴ ...
... High dietary protein input in aquaculture leads to suboptimal growth and increased production costs. Limited knowledge on dietary protein requirements of Procambarus clarkii in pond culture has hindered the scientific expansion of optimum feeding strategies. We evaluated the effects of reduced dietary protein levels (from 30% to 26%) on the growth performance (weight, length, GSI, HSI, SGRw, SGRL ...

Abstract:
... Sufficient dietary protein intake is vital to maintaining muscle health with aging. Yet protein intake among adults is often inadequate. This study’s main objective was to examine the impact of nutrition education (NE) and a per-meal protein prescription (PRx) with versus without diet coaching on protein intake. A secondary objective examined its effects on muscle health. Participants included 53 ...

Abstract:
... The transition from animal- to plant-derived dietary proteins is of global importance. Plant proteins are normally processed into extracts, and due to the type of process, proteins from the globulin class are mainly extracted. Such extractions have several waste streams, containing another protein class: albumins. Here, we show that plant albumins have good functionality. We compared interfacial a ...
