Article Abstract

In this study, the pine nut (Pinus yunnanensis Franch.) protein was hydrolyzed by alkaline protease and trypsin to prepare pine nut protein hydrolysate (PNPH). The chemical, intracellular and in vivo antioxidant capacity of PNPH were evaluated. PNPH owned the ability of scavenging free radicals, and it could protect the HepG2 cells from oxidative damage by preserving cell viability. Moreover, PNPH could reduce the malondialdehyde (MDA) content and improved the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities in serum, heart and liver of aging mice induced by D-galactose. Further, the PNPH was stepwise purified and identified, and 15 peptides were identified from purified fraction in PNPH. The three-dimension structures of identified peptides were predicted. Among all identified peptides, peptide 3, 7, 8 and 11 were presumed to possess good antioxidant activity. Overall, PNPH and purified peptides isolated from PNPH have potential application prospects in the field of natural antioxidants and anti-aging functional foods.

Co-elution of -NMIFAs in the 18:3t region: analytical approach in fatty acid identification.

Food Sci Biotechnol

September 2025

Department of Food Science & Technology, Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Chungnam National University, 99 Daehak-Ro, Daejeon, 34134 Republic of Korea.

Accurate identification of -18:3 fatty acid isomers remain challenging due to the co-elution of structurally diverse isomers, particularly non-methylene-interrupted fatty acids (NMIFAs). GC-FID analysis of pine nut using an SP™-2560 column revealed unusually high peak areas (> 13%) in the 18:3t region. However, a peak reduction in the 18:3t region after nitric acid-induced isomerization reaction, suggested the presence of isomers in native pine nut.

Effect of food matrices on AFB recovery by lateral flow immunoassay with deep eutectic solvents as a green alternative to conventional extraction.

Mikrochim Acta

August 2025

Henan Engineering Technology Research Center of Food Processing and Circulation Safety Control, College of Food Science and Technology, Henan Agricultural University, 63 Nongye Road, Zhengzhou, 450002, Henan, China.

D ifferent samples may cause various types of matrix interference in lateral flow immunoassay (LFA), while deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as emerging green solvents can be synthesized to adapt to different extraction processes by adjusting the composition of hydrogen bond donors (HBDs) and hydrogen bond acceptors (HBAs). Initially, 30 types of food samples were selected to explore the total dilution factors (tDFs) and limit of detection (LODs) on AFB detection by acetonitrile/water extraction. The matrix effect may be induced by some food matrices with high-fat content, including pumpkin seed kernel, almond, pecan, black sesame seed, walnut, and pine nut (tDFs exceeding 70-fold).

Background: The European Regulation list on mandatory labelling of foods includes 14 allergenic foods; however, other foods are also frequently implicated in food-induced anaphylaxis (FIA).

Methods: We analysed FIA cases reported to the Allergy Vigilance Network from 2002 to 2023. Allergenic foods involved in ≥ 1% of cases and not included in the list were assessed as emerging food allergens (EFA).

A high intake of saturated fats and cholesterol from processed meats is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. This study aimed to develop a nutritionally enhanced Bologna-type sausage by partially replacing the beef content with a structured emulsion gel (EG) formulated from pine nut oil, inulin, carrageenan, and whey protein concentrate. The objective was to improve its lipid quality and functional performance while maintaining product integrity and consumer acceptability.

Quantifying the impact of seed coat on the functional qualities of roasted pine nuts and its correlation with changes in multi-component interactions.

This study investigated the effects of natural seed coats on quality formation of roasted pine nuts and underlying mechanisms. The intact seed coat imparted ideal crispness to the roasted pine nuts, improved paste properties (including cohesion, consistency index, viscoelastic modulus, and thixotropic recovery properties), and increased active compounds/antioxidant activity, reducing total lipid oxidation value by 45.03 %.
