Article Abstract

Proteomics combined with peptidomics approaches were used to analyze the protein degradation and the release pattern of umami peptides in stewed chicken. The results showed that a total of 422 proteins were identified, of which 273 proteins consistently existed in samples stewed for 0-5 h. Myosin heavy chain exhibited the highest abundance (26.29-30.26%) throughout the stewing process. The proportion of proteins under 20 kDa increased progressively with the duration of stewing and reached 61% at 4-5 h of stewing. A total of 8018 peptides were detected in the soup samples, and 2323 umami peptides were identified using the prediction platforms iUmami-SCM, UMPred-FRL, Umami_YYDS, and TastePertides-DM. Umami peptides derived from titin (accession number A0A8V0ZZ81) were determined to be the most abundant, accounting for 24% of the total umami peptides, and Val534 and Lys33639 were the key N-terminal and C-terminal amino acids of these umami peptides. Abundance analysis showed that the umami peptides KK16 and SK18 ranked among the top 5 in the samples stewed for 0-5 h, and they were most abundant in the 3 h stewed samples. The results obtained will provide data support for promoting the industrialization of high-quality chicken soup products.

This is the first report on the functional potential of Akhuni, an ethnic food of Northeast India, against diabetes. Akhuni is a traditional fermented soybean product known for its umami taste and delicacy, commonly used in the cuisine of Northeast India. Treatment with ethanolic extract of Akhuni (AKET) for 8 weeks decreased glucose levels in the blood, increased body mass and enhanced the ability to tolerate glucose dose-dependently in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice in comparison with the group of diabetic control mice (DBC).

Egg white peptides (EWPs) face significant flavor challenges due to bitterness, limiting their high-value applications. This study prepared egg white glycopeptides (EWGP) through transglutaminase-catalyzed glycosylation to investigate their flavor enhancement effect. Egg white protein was hydrolyzed by neutral protease and covalently bound to glucosamine under the mediation of transglutaminase to obtain EWGP.

Unlabelled: A complex enzyme mixture of papain, neutral protease, and flavor protease was used to treat sesame meal at 50 °C for 3 h, yielding four peptide fractions (PF) with distinct molecular weight distributions of PF1 (> 10 kDa), PF2 (3-10 kDa), PF3 (1-3 kDa), and PF4 (< 1 kDa). and xylose were added to peptide mixtures heated to 120 °C in an oil bath for 120 min to form Maillard reaction product (MRP). PF4 peptides (< 1 kDa) had a substantial impact on pH, color, and browning intensity, whereas PF3 peptides (1-3 kDa) improved the meat-like flavor, mouth fullness, and umami taste.

With the growing demand for high-throughput analyses that can detect diverse molecules with varying physicochemical properties in shorter times, researchers are increasingly focused on developing or modifying analytical methods. This is particularly relevant in the food, pharmaceutical/nutraceutical, cosmetic, agricultural, and environmental industries. This study aimed to modify, establish, and validate a high-performance liquid chromatography method with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) for the simultaneous determination of disodium guanylate (GMP) and disodium inosinate (IMP) in mushrooms, using as a model.

In food field, both identification of umami peptides and their sensory evaluation are limited by low efficiency of traditional methods and subjectivity of human-based assessments. To overcome these issues, Umami-Transformer was developed by integrating Transformer architecture with eight physicochemical descriptors. A classification accuracy of 0.
