Effect of ionic strength and mixing ratio on complex coacervation of soy protein isolate/Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide

Soy protein isolate(SPI)is a commercial protein with balanced amino acids,while the poor solubility impedes its use in traditional foods.To overcome the problem,the complex coacervation of SPI/Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide(FVP)were investigated.Initial results revealed that the suitable amounts of FVP contributed to reducing the turbidity of SPI solution.Under electrostatic interaction,the formation of SPI/FVP coacervates were spontaneous and went through a nucleation and growth process.Low salt concentration(C_(NaCl)=10,50 mmol/L)led to an increase in the critical pH values(pHc,pHφ1)while the critical pH values decreased when C_(NaCl)≥100 mmol/L.The concentration of NaCl ions increased the content ofα-helix.With the increase of FVP,the critical pH values decreased and the content ofβ-sheet increased through electrostatic interaction.At SPI/FVP ratio of 10:1 and 15:1,the complex coacervation of SPI/FVP were saturated,and the coacervates had the same storage modulus value.SPI/FVP coacervates exhibited solid-like properties and presented the strongest storage modulus at C_(NaCl)=50 mmol/L.The optimal pH,SPI/FVP ratio and NaCl concentration of complex coacervation were collected,and the coacervates demonstrated a valuable application potential to protect and deliver bioactives and food ingredients.

Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide-iron (Ⅲ) complex used to treat iron deficiency anemia after being absorbed via GLUT2 and SGLT1 transporters

Iron deficiency anemia(IDA)is a common nutritional problem, but traditional iron supplements cause many adverse reactions. Thus, the development of a novel iron supplement might be significant for the treatment of IDA. This study aimed to study the transport mechanism of Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide-iron complex(FVP1-Fe(Ⅲ))in Caco-2 cells and the therapeutic effect on IDA rats, as well as the influence on gut microbiota in vivo. These results showed that in vitro, the uptake of FVP1-Fe(Ⅲ)was mediated by sodium-dependent glucose transporter-1(SGLT1)and facilitated glucose transporter-2(GLUT2)and GLUT2 played a dominant function. The multidrug resistance-associated protein-2(MRP-2)was involved in the efflux of FVP1-Fe(Ⅲ)across the Caco-2 cells. In vivo, FVP1-Fe(Ⅲ)had a better restorative effect on blood parameters and iron status indicators in rats with IDA as compared with FeSO_4 and exerted this effect by downregulating the expression of hepcidin. FVP1-Fe(Ⅲ)could also regulate gut microbiota dysbiosis in iron deficiency rats by returning the relative abundance of gut microbiota to the normal level. Besides, as a dietary factor, vitamin C(vit C)could enhance the therapeutic effect of FVP1-Fe(Ⅲ). These present findings showed that FVP1-Fe(Ⅲ)could be exploited as a novel iron supplement to treat IDA.

Effect of ultrasonic modification on the protective activity of Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide to prevent ethanol-induced injury on GES-1 cells

Flammulina velutipes(F.velutipes)polysaccharides were modified by ultrasound at the rated power of 150 W and 900 W.The monosaccharide composition,ultraviolet-visible,and Fourier transform infrared spectral characteristics of F.velutipes polysaccharides(FVP)and their ultrasonic modification products(U-FVPs)were determined.The protective effects of FVP and U-FVPs on human gastric mucosal cells GES-1 were confi rmed for the first time.The mole ratios of glucose and galactose were decreased and the mole ratio of mannose was increased after ultrasonic modification.Compared with the original FVP and the FVP modifi ed by ultrasound of 150 W(U-FVP1),the FVP modifi ed by ultrasound of 900 W(U-FVP2)could better prevent ethanol-induced damage to GES-1 cells.With increasing ultrasound intensity,the protective effect of FVPs on GES-1 cells was significantly enhanced by more effective prevention of intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)production and more promotion of expression of triglyceride factor 2(TFF2),prostaglandin E2(PGE2),epidermal growth factor(EGF),and transforming growth factorβ1(TGF-β1)mRNA.The ultrasonic modifi cation might be an effective way to develop novel F.velutipes polysaccharides that could effectively resist the gastric injury caused by excessive alcohol consumption.

Polypropylene crisper and 1-MCP delay the softening,lignification and transcription levels of related enzyme genes of golden needle mushrooms(Flammulina velutipes)

The fresh postharvest golden needle mushroom(Flammulina velutipes) sporocarp has a high moisture content and crisp texture, but it still has high physiological activity and respiration, leading to senescence and quality deterioration.Treatments with 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP) and polypropylene(PP) crispers were used to study the changes of lignification and softening of F. velutipes during storage. The main findings were as follows: the crisper packaging could effectively prolong the storage time of F. velutipes;either the 1-MCP treatment, crisper packaging or the combination of the two treatments could significantly inhibit the accumulation of lignin and the decreases in the contents of cellulose and pectin, and had certain inhibitory effects on the activities of enzymes involved in lignification and softening including phenylalanine ammonia-lyase(PAL), cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase(CAD), cellulase(Cx), pectin methylesterase(PME) and polygalacturonase(PG). Among them, the inhibitory effect of the crisper packaging was higher than the 1-MCP treatment, while the combination of the two treatments was the best. The results of transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) showed that the crisper packaging in combination with the 1-MCP treatment could effectively maintain the integrity and stability of the F. velutipes cellular structure and inhibit the emergence of plasmolysis to prevent cell membrane rupture. The transcription levels showed that the crisper packaging and the combination of the 1-MCP treatment and crisper packing could effectively affect the expression of genes for enzymes related to lignification and softening of F. velutipes. In conclusion, 1-MCP and PP crispers could delay the lignification and softening of F. velutipes during storage.

Effect of mushroom root fermentation broth on the umami taste and nutrients of Flammulina velutipes

As one of the most appealing edible mushrooms,the quality of Flammulina velutipes can be affected by the cultivation substrate,which has an impact on the mushroom umami taste and nutrients.In our study,the effect of mushroom root fermentation broth(MRFB)based substrate on umami taste and nutrients of F.velutipes were evaluated;four proportions of MRFB were conducted(CK 0%,E16.7%,E213.4%,E320.1%).Results indicated that MRFB was an effective nutrient supplement for mushroom cultivation substrate.E2 and E3 showed higher crude fiber,crude fat,and soluble protein.Compared to CK,the content of monosodium glutamate-like(MSG-like)amino acids,essential amino acids,total amino acids,and total 5′-nucleotides in E2 and E3 were higher.The equivalent umami concentration(EUC)values in E1,E2 and E3 were 1.70,2.43 and 1.56 times that of CK,respectively.Higher umami,saltness and sweetness taste values were found in E2.Thereby,it signified that better umami and richer nutrients were achieved by using substrate with proper volume of MRFB,especially,E2 with 13.4%of MRFB.Overall,better mushroom quality could be derived from the application of MRFB in cultivation.MRFB was a favorable nutrient supplement for F.velutipes cultivation substrate.

Biological Effects of Flammulina Velutipes Richin RE on Chinese Kunming Mice

in this paper,effects of RE from different sources on the growth,development and endurance of Chinese kunming mice have been studied.The result indicates that the body and organ weights and endurance of the mice in group B(F.velutipes) are significantly increased over those in the control group(group E) after three weeks,and it also shows that the biological effects vary with the amount of RE in diet.Compared with group D(RE(NO3)3),group B has the same amount of RE in diet but the body and organ weights are much heavier,swimming time is increased by 28.6%,and the changes of blood sugar and serum lactic acid after swimming decrease notably.Thus,it can be found that F.velutipes rich in RE added in diet performs a positive function to promote the mouse growth,development and endurance,while the inorganic RE(NO3)3 fails on it,even inhibits their growth.

Auricularia polytricha and Flammulina velutipes ameliorate inflammation and modulate the gut microbiota via regulation of NF-κB and Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathways on DSS-induced inflammatory bowel disease

Flammulina velutipes and Auricularia polytricha are two popular dietary mushrooms,especially in the Northeast of China.They have revealed many pharmacological effects due to their bioactive compounds,but their possible mechanism of action involved in inflammation remains poorly known.Therefore,Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)which is a chronic disease and progressive inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract were used to evaluate their anti-inflammatory and modulatory properties on the intestinal microbiota via the signaling pathways involved by oral administration of F.velutipes(FVE)and A.polytricha(APE).Mice were daily received 3%DSS in the drinking water followed by the daily administration of FVE and APE.The food consumption,weight variation and DAI score were assessed during the experiment and inflammatory parameters,mRNA and protein expressions to determine the possible signaling pathways involved,and the gut microbiota from the cecum by high-throughput sequencing.Data showed that APE and FVE improved clinical symptoms,inflammatory cytokines and oxidative markers.They also attenuated the mRNA and proteins expressions in colon tissue.Moreover,APE and FVE regulated DSS-induced intestinal dysbiosis and stimulated the SCFAs production.Overall,APE and FVE could improve DSS-induced IBD in mice suggesting that they represent novels therapeutic drugs and could be used as prebiotic to modulate the gut microbiota and preserve intestinal integrity.
