Soy protein hydrolysates (SPH) with different degrees of hydrolysis (DH 0-16%) were obtained by varying the time of hydrolysis with bromelain. The objective of this study was to evaluate how selected techno-functional properties (gelation, emulsification) of SPH were affected by the presence of a non-gelling polysaccharide. A slight hydrolysis was beneficial to increase gel strength. Also, the emulsifying activity was improved for low DHs, whereas hydrolysis was detrimental for emulsion stability. Under certain conditions the presence of the non-gelling polysaccharide was beneficial to improve SPHs' functional properties, but the effect was in general complex and strongly dependent on both biopolymers' concentration and molecular weight. Nevertheless, it was demonstrated that by using SPH and galactomannan mixtures and controlling the biopolymers' concentration and molecular weight, improved functionalities can be obtained with useful applications in food formulation.

This study developed a vegan chocolate spread using spray-dried plant-based milk powders (soy, lentil, and rice), fortified with nano-liposomal vitamin D3 and an oleogel-balanced omega fatty acid to enhance nutritional quality. The plant-based milk powders exhibited high protein (up to 26.8% in soy), fiber, and micronutrients.

For recovering whey soybean protein (WSP) from soybean whey wastewater (SWW) in food industry, a foam separation method for separating WSP by using temperature-responsive Janus sheets (MF-JNSs-PN) as foam stabilizer was established. MF-JNSs-PN was prepared by grafting the temperature-responsive polymer PNIPAM onto one side of the sheet inorganic material using BSA@Cu(PO)-MF as the template. MF-JNSs-PN has a good ability to stabilize the foam due to inducing the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity transition by adjusting the temperature.

Cultivating fat for edible tissue presents significant challenges, due to the high costs associated with growth and differentiation factors, alongside the poor viability of adipocytes resulting from cell clustering. Additionally, there is a gap in research regarding the rapid accumulation of fats within cells. To that end, this study presents the development of a biodegradable soy protein colloidosome system for an efficient application: direct delivery of oils into bovine satellite cells, enabling rapid intracellular fat accumulation without the need for adipogenic differentiation.

This study investigated the effects of soy isoflavone yeast fermented extract (soyF) and soy isoflavone yeast unfermented extract (soyN) on rat ileal smooth muscle contraction. SoyF and soyN inhibited carbachol (CCh)- or KCl-induced contraction in a concentration-dependent manner; however, these effects were stronger for CCh-induced contraction than that for KCl, and the relaxation effect was stronger for soyF than for soyN. SoyF-induced relaxation was attenuated by 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), a Kv channel inhibitor, and iberiotoxin (IbTX), a calcium-activated potassium channel (BK channel) inhibitor.
