Abstract:
Animals defend themselves against invading pathogenic micro-organisms by utilizing cationic anti-microbial peptides, which rapidly kill various micro-organisms without exerting toxicity against the host. Physicochemical peptide-lipid interactions provide attractive mechanisms for innate immunity. Many of these peptides form amphipathic secondary structures (α-helices and β-sheets) which can selectively interact with anionic bacterial membranes by electrostatic interaction. Rapid, peptide-induced membrane permeabilization is an effective mechanism of anti-microbial action. Magainin 2 from frog skin forms a dynamic peptide-lipid supramolecular-complex pore that allows mutually coupled transmembrane transport of ions and lipids. The peptide molecule is internalized upon the disintegration of the pore. Several anti-microbial peptides are known to work synergistically.

Abstract:
Background: Antibiotic resistance is a global issue and new anti-microbials are required. Introduction: Anti-microbial peptides are important players of host innate immune systems that prevent infections. Due to their ability to eliminate drug-resistant pathogens, AMPs are promising candidates for developing the next generation of anti-microbials. Methods: The anti-microbial peptide database provides a useful tool for searching, predicting, and designing new AMPs. In the period from 2015-2019, ~500 new natural peptides have been registered. Results: This article highlights a select set of new AMP members with interesting properties. Teixobactin is a cell wall inhibiting peptide antibiotic, while darobactin inhibits a chaperone and translocator for outer membrane proteins. Remarkably, cOB1, a sex pheromone from commensal enterococci, restricts the growth of multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecalis in the gut at a picomolar concentration. A novel proline-rich AMP has been found in a plant Brassica napus. A shrimp peptide MjPen-II comprises three different sequence domains: serine-rich, proline-rich, and cysteine-rich regions. Surprisingly, an amphibian peptide urumin specifically inhibits H1 hemagglutinin-bearing influenza A virus. Defensins are abundant and typically consist of three pairs of intramolecular disulfide bonds. However, rat rattusin dimerizes via forming five pairs of intermolecular disulfide bonds. While human LL-37 can be induced by vitamin D, vitamin A induces the expression of resistin-like molecule alpha (RELMα) in mice. The isolation and characterization of an alternative human cathelicidin peptide, TLN-58, substantiates the concept of one gene multiple peptides. The involvement of a fly AMP nemuri in sleep induction may promote the research on the relationship between sleep and infection control. Conclusion: The functional roles of AMPs continue to grow and the general term “innate immune peptides” becomes useful. These discoveries widen our view on antimicrobial peptides and may open new opportunities for developing novel peptide therapeutics for different applications.

Abstract:
AbstractDefense peptides are small amphipathic molecules that exhibit antimicrobial, antitumor, antiviral, and immunomodulatory properties. This review summarizes current knowledge on the mechanisms of antimicrobial activity of cationic and anionic defense peptides, indicating peptide-based as well as microbial cell-based factors affecting this activity. The peptide-based factors include charge, hydrophibicity, and amphipathicity, whereas the pathogen-based factors are membrane lipid composition, presence of sterols, membrane fluidity, cell wall components, and secreted factors such as extracellular proteinases. Since defense peptides have been considered very promising molecules that could replace conventional antibiotics in the era of drug-resistant pathogens, the issue of microbial resistance to antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is addressed. Furthermore, selected approaches employed for optimization and de novo design of effective AMPs based on the properties recognized as important for the function of natural defense peptides are presented.

Abstract:
Molecular mimicry refers to structural homologies between a self-protein and a microbial protein. A major epitope of myelin basic protein (MBP), p87–99 (VHFFKNIVTPRTP), induces experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). VHFFK contains the major residues for binding of this self-molecule to T cell receptor (TCR) and to the major histocompatibility complex. Peptides from papilloma virus strains containing the motif VHFFK induce EAE. A peptide from human papilloma virus type 40 (HPV 40) containing VHFFR, and one from HPV 32 containing VHFFH, prevented EAE. A sequence from Bacillus subtilis (RKVVTDFFKNIPQRI) also prevented EAE. T cell lines, producing IL-4 and specific for these microbial peptides, suppressed EAE. Thus, microbial peptides, differing from the core motif of the self-antigen, MBPp87–99, function as altered peptide ligands, and behave as TCR antagonists, in the modulation of autoimmune disease.

Abstract:
Abstract Activation of autoreactive T cells is a crucial event in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Cross-reactivity between microbial and self Ags (molecular mimicry) is one hypothesis that could explain the activation of autoreactive T cells. We have systematically examined this hypothesis in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis using mice bearing exclusively myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific T cells (designated T+ α−). A peptide substitution analysis was performed in which each residue of the MBPAc1–11 peptide was exchanged by all 20 naturally occurring amino acids. This allowed the definition of the motif (supertope) that is recognized by the MBPAc1–11-specific T cells. The supertope was used to screen protein databases (SwissProt and TREMBL). By the search, 832 peptides of microbial origin were identified and synthesized. Of these, 61 peptides induced proliferation of the MBPAc1–11-specific transgenic T cells in vitro. Thus, the definition of a supertope by global amino acid substitution can identify multiple microbial mimic peptides that activate an encephalitogenic TCR. Peptides with only two native MBP-residues were sufficient to activate MBPAc1–11-specific T cells in vitro, and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis could be induced by immunizing mice with a mimic peptide with only four native MBP residues.

Abstract:
Three anti-microbial peptides were compared with respect to their killing activity against Candida albicans and their ability to disturb its cellular and internal membranes. Histatin 5 is an anti-fungal peptide occurring naturally in human saliva, while dhvar4 and dhvar5 are variants of its active domain, with increased anti-microbial activity. dhvar4has increased amphipathicity compared with histatin 5, whereas dhvar5has amphipathicity comparable with that of histatin 5. All three peptides caused depolarization of the cytoplasmic and/or mitochondrial membrane, indicating membranolytic activity. For the variant peptides both depolarization and killing occurred at a faster rate. With FITC-labelled peptides, no association with the cytoplasmic membrane was observed, contradicting the formation of permanent transmembrane multimeric peptide pores. Instead, the peptides were internalized and act on internal membranes, as demonstrated with mitochondrion- and vacuole-specific markers. In comparison with histatin 5, the variant peptides showed a more destructive effect on mitochondria. Entry of the peptides and subsequent killing were dependent on the metabolic state of the cells. Blocking of the mitochondrial activity led to complete protection against histatin 5 activity, whereas that of dhvar4 was hardly affected and that of dhvar5 was affected only intermediately.

Abstract:
BackgroundThe query for tumor shared and neo-antigens as a therapeutic approach has been the focus of cancer immunology for the past two decades. Notably, these peptide sequences can bind to HLA molecules and present on the cell surface, subsequently to be recognized by T-cell receptors (TCRs), activating the immune system and so facilitating in tumor rejection.1–3 The search for new origins of targetable types of HLA peptides is consistently growing, and new studies show peptides that are derived from non-canonical open reading frames (ORFs), altered translation, proteasome splicing, viral proteins and more.4–6 In light of the new findings, showing the important role of intra-tumor and gut bacteria in tumor-genesis and their effect on the immune response,7–10 we went on a quest for discovering whether intracellular bacteria antigens can be presented by tumor cells, and whether these antigens may elicit an immune response.MethodsCombination of HLA peptidomics with 16S rDNA sequencing.ResultsCombination of HLA peptidomics with 16S rDNA sequencing of 17 melanoma metastasis derived from 9 different patients, lead us to the unbiased identification of an intracellular bacterial peptide repertoire presented on HLA-I and HLA-II molecules. We were able to validate these results by co-culturing the bacterial species identified by 16S sequencing with the patient derived melanoma cells, further validating the peptide’s presentation by preforming HLA peptidomics on the infected cells. Importantly, we were able to identify common bacterial peptides from different metastases of the same patient as well as from different patients. Some of the common bacterial peptides, as well as others, were able to elicit an immune response by the autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), suggesting potential therapeutic implications of these peptides.ConclusionsThe insights gathered through this study elucidate the effect of intra-tumor bacteria on the immune response and so, may lead to the development of novel clinical applications.ReferencesNeefjes J, Jongsma ML, Paul P, Bakke O.

Abstract:
Proteins and peptides were acetylated using acetic anhydride in order to block their N-terminal amino groups and thereby to prevent their hydrolysis by rumen microbial aminopeptidases. The effects of acetylation on peptide breakdown and ammonia production were determined by incubating unmodified and acetylated substrates with sheep rumen micro-organisms in vitro. Ammonia production from casein and lactalbumin was affected little by acetylation, but acetylation of the corresponding enzymic hydrolysates caused ammonia production to be more than halved after 3.6 h incubation. Estimation of peptides remaining in rumen fluid showed that the decreased ammonia production was a consequence of peptides being hydrolysed more slowly. Acetylated Ala-Ala, Ala-Ala-Ala (Ala3), Leu-Gly-Gly, Phe-Gly-Gly and Val-Gly-Ser-Glu survived incubation with rumen fluid in vitro for 6 h, whereas almost none of the corresponding unmodified peptides was present at 6 h. The protection afforded to larger pure peptides was less reliable: for example, 72% of acetylated bradykinin was hydrolysed after 1 h.N-Acetyl Ala3had only a minor inhibitory effect on the breakdown of Ala3and Ala4, suggesting that although acetyl peptides were broken down more slowly than unmodified peptides they did not inhibit peptidase activity.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThe lack of effective therapies for treating tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem. WhileMycobacterium tuberculosisis notoriously resistant to most available antibiotics, we identified synthetic short cationic antimicrobial peptides that were active at low micromolar concentrations (less than 10 μM). These small peptides (averaging 10 amino acids) had remarkably broad spectra of antimicrobial activities against both bacterial and fungal pathogens and an indication of low cytotoxicity. In addition, their antimicrobial activities displayed various degrees of species specificity that were not related to taxonomy. For example,Candida albicansandStaphylococcus aureuswere the best surrogates to predict peptide activity againstM. tuberculosis, whileMycobacterium smegmatiswas a poor surrogate. Principle component analysis of activity spectrum profiles identified unique features associated with activity againstM. tuberculosisthat reflect their distinctive amino acid composition; active peptides were more hydrophobic and cationic, reflecting increased tryptophan with compensating decreases in valine and other uncharged amino acids and increased lysine. These studies provide foundations for development of cationic antimicrobial peptides as potential new therapeutic agents for TB treatment.

Abstract:
Leucine-rich repeat proteins and antimicrobial peptides are the key components of the innate immune response to Plasmodium and other microbial pathogens in Anopheles mosquitoes. The APL1 gene of the malaria vector Anopheles funestus has exceptional levels of non-synonymous polymorphism across the range of An. funestus, with an average πn of 0.027 versus a genome-wide average of 0.002, and πn is consistently high in populations across Africa. Elevated APL1 diversity was consistent between the independent pooled-template and target-enrichment datasets, however no link between APL1 diversity and insecticide resistance was observed. Although lacking the diversity of APL1, two further mosquito innate-immunity genes of the gambicin anti-microbial peptide family had πn/πs ratios greater than one, possibly driven by either positive or balancing selection. The cecropin antimicrobial peptides were expressed much more highly than other anti-microbial peptide genes, a result discordant with current models of anti-microbial peptide activity. The observed APL1 diversity likely results from gene conversion between paralogues, as evidenced by shared polymorphisms, overlapping read mappings, and recombination events among paralogues. In conclusion, we hypothesize that higher gene expression of APL1 than its paralogues is correlated with a more open chromatin formation, which enhances gene conversion and elevated diversity at this locus.

Abstract:
Antibiotics have been used widely for the treatment of bacterial infections for over half a century. However, the emergence of resistance to antibiotics has aroused public health concern, leading to the development of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as potential alternative therapeutic agents against bacterial infections. AMPs are naturally found in many species and have important roles in our innate immune defense systems. AMPs are usually cationic amphipathic peptides with membrane destabilizing property. They have a relatively broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and pathogens are less likely to develop resistance against AMPs. The major challenge of using AMPs as therapeutic agents is their toxicity towards mammalian cells. The biological stability of AMPs to protease in human body is another concern. To address the latter problem, instead of the naturally occur L-enantiomers, Denantiomeric AMPs were introduced to enhance their stability. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the D-enantiomeric AMPs are more resistant than the Lenantiomeric AMPs against proteolytic degradation. Three pairs of synthetic D-/LAMPs (D-LAO160-P13/LAO160-P12; D-LAO160-H/LAO160-H; and D-LAK-120-HP13/LAK-120-HP13) were employed to test for their stability when treated with trypsin, serum and gastric fluid, and the samples were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Generally, all the D-enantiomeric AMPs were found to be resistant towards proteolysis. Besides, to compare the cytotoxicity of D-/LAMPs, MTT and LDH assays of the D/L-LAK120-HP13 pair were carried out on two different cell lines, A549 cells (human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cells) and RAW264.7 cells (mouse macrophage cells). Significant difference in cytotoxicity of D-LAK120-HP13 and LAK120-HP13 on RAW264.7 cells were obtained from MTT assay, but not in LDH assays or on A549 cells. Further analysis has to be done to validate the findings obtained from this research.

Abstract:
Vaccination with immunogenic peptides offers a safe and specific way of inducing protection against pathogens, however as of yet there are no peptide-based vaccines available. The limitations on the therapeutic use of peptides are due to their poor immunogenicity and short life span in vivo. Peptide delivery systems act to circumvent these issues. The aims of this research were to investigate the ability of virus-like particles (VLP) from Rabbit haemmorhagic disease virus (RHDV) to deliver immunogenic peptides, to characterize the immune response to these particles, and to investigate whether baculovirus could also act as a delivery system. The vaccine peptides HAT (representing a T helper cell epitope) and HAB (representing the major B cell epitope) derived from the haemagglutinin antigen of influenza virus A/PR/8/34 were used as a model to investigate the ability of these virus particles to act as delivery vehicles to the immune system. A scheme for the production and purification of RHDV VLP was established. Expression of the capsid protein from RHDV in a serum-free recombinant baculovirus system using suspension cultures of up to 200 ml, and separation by isopycnic centrifugation on cesium chloride gradients led to high yields of purified RHDV VLP. Up to 20 mg of pure VLP could be obtained from an 800 ml culture of insect cells infected with recombinant baculovirus. In vitro testing revealed that RHDV VLP carrying the peptide HAT as a genetic fusion were processed by dendritic cells (DC), and that this peptide could be presented to induce activation of T cells. However, the purified RHDV VLP alone were not able to induce significant upregulation of cell activation markers CD40, CD86, and CD80. A preliminary in vivo study revealed that when RHDV VLP carrying the HAT peptide were delivered by an intraperitoneal injection in the absence of adjuvant, the immune response to the peptide was weak, therefore the route of delivery and the use of immune adjuvants with the VLP were optimised. Five different routes of delivery and two different immune adjuvants were compared. VLP were delivered through subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, transcutaneous, intramuscular and intranasal routes. Delivery of the VLP through each of these routes resulted in potent serum antibody responses. However, the strongest antibody responses were elicited when the VLP were delivered through the intraperitoneal or intranasal routes. Of these two routes, intranasal delivery gave the best mucosal responses at the lung surface, and was therefore chosen as the route of delivery for subsequent trials. CpG DNA and the wild-type baculovirus Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) were tested as adjuvants for the RHDV VLP. These two adjuvants gave similar results, both acting to enhance a T[H]1 type response against the VLP, characterized by significantly increased levels of serum IgG2a and enhanced IFN-γ production. Two approaches were then tested: using the RHDV VLP as a peptide carrier with a CpG adjuvant, and using baculovirus particles directly as self-adjuvanting carriers for vaccine peptides. HAT and HAB peptides were chemically coupled to RHDV VLP. Mice that were vaccinated with these VLP mixed with a CpG adjuvant were able to raise low levels of specific antibody in the serum against influenza, and specific IgA against influenza was detected in the lung. These results indicated that, though the immune responses raised were modest, the RHDV VLP was able to deliver the vaccine peptides to the immune system. HAT and HAB peptides were chemically coupled to baculovirus particles. When mice were immunized with the baculovirus carrying the vaccine peptides, they raised significant levels of IgG1 (p<0.001) and IgG2a (p<0.05) against influenza in the serum, when compared to peptide delivered alone. A significant level of influenza-specific IgA was also detected in the lung at 10 ng/ml in the mice that received the baculovirus coupled with peptide. Analysis of splenocyte cytokines showed that these mice also responded to restimulation with IFN-γ production at around 100 pg/ml. This research revealed that RHDV VLP are able to act as carriers for vaccine peptides, however there are some limitations to their use with the HAT and HAB model peptides. It also showed that baculovirus can be rapidly modified to carry vaccine peptides by chemical conjugation, and that these peptides can be delivered to induce specific systemic and mucosal immunity, raising both B cell and cell mediated responses. Both virus particles have potential as components for new strategies for vaccination.

Abstract:
Les archées halophiles sont des procaryotes vivant dans des conditions d’extrême salinité. Ces micro-organismes colonisent les environnements hypersalins et synthétisent des peptides antimicrobiens appelés halocines, qui pourraient leur conférer un avantage sélectif sur leurs compétiteurs. Parmi les peptides antimicrobiens d’archées halophiles décrits, on distingue l’halocine C8, initialement purifiée à partir de la souche halophile Natrinema sp. AS7092. Ce travail de thèse a permis de montrer que la production d’halocine C8 était conservée chez plusieurs archées halophiles appartenant aux genres : Natrinema, Haloterrigena, Haloferax et Halobacterium. Une activité antimicrobienne associée des particules supérieures à 100 kDa non infectieuses suggère que l’halocine C8 pourrait être localisée dans des vésicules membranaires. Ce travail présente des résultats qui déboucheront sur une meilleure compréhension des compétitions microbiennes dans les environnements hypersalins et du rôle écologique des halocines
Halophilic archaea are prokaryotes living in extremely high salinity conditions. Those microorganisms thrive in hypersaline environments and produce antimicrobial peptides named halocins, which may confer them a selective advantage over competitors. Among the known antimicrobial peptides produced by halophilic archaea, halocin C8 had been initially purified from the halophilic strain Natrinema sp. AS7092. This work demonstrates that halocin C8 production is conserved among several halophilic archaea belonging to genera Natrinema, Haloterrigena, Haloferax and Halobacterium. An antimicrobial activity has been associated with non-infectious particles larger than 100 kDa, suggesting that halocin C8 could be localized in membrane vesicles. Results obtained from this work will lead to a better understanding of microbial competitions arising in hypersaline environments and the ecological role of halocins

Abstract:
This review aimed to identify the general characteristics of , mechanism of action, types and uses of antimicrobial peptides in animals, antimicrobial peptides were lass of small peptides that widely exist naturally, they varied greatly in structure, composition are found in the animal's species, and were standard structural features, twenty to sixty residue long, cationic and amphipathic peptides, have a positive charge that interacted with negatively charged molecules on the bacterial cell surfaces, a have an expansive field of inhibitory effects and were made as the first line of protection by both multicellular organisms. An essential component of the innate immune method of various organisms can have broad movement to instantly destroy bacteria, parasites, yeasts, fungi, viruses, and even cancer cells, Several antimicrobial peptides were expressed in the gastrointestinal mucosa of the animals where they can modulate innate immune responses and the intestinal microbial, act some protective microbial species and modulate an immune response. Its interactions with innate immunity and the intestinal microbial reveal attractive drug targets, act as a new therapeutic approach against gastrointestinal infections, damage, and inflammations, and modulate obesity and metabolic diseases. In addition, its acts as a biomarker of gastrointestinal diseases. They have been useful parts of the host's defense systems for a long time. Because microbes become resistant to antimicrobial peptides more slowly than to traditional antibiotics, they could be used as alternative treatments in the future. Several thousand antimicrobial peptides have been isolated from microorganisms, plants, insects, crustaceans, creatures, and even humans. Conclusion: Antimicrobial peptides are small proteins found in plant and animal species. They are the first defense against infections caused by microorganisms. and work against a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, both gram-positive and gram-negative. They are related together to innate immunity and adaptive immunity.

Abstract:
Preventing lipid oxidation and microbial spoilage are both major concerns in sectors such as food and cosmetic industries. Biopeptides, arouse great interest to substitute synthetic antioxidants. Some plant proteins, like 2S rapeseed albumins are known presenting antimicrobial properties. In this context, we aimed to valorize total rapeseed meal proteins with controlled enzymatic proteolysis to generate mineral chelating peptides from the 11S globulins fraction while keeping intact the albumins fraction. To do so, screening of proteases on total rapeseed protein isolate was implemented highlighting a globulin-selective hydrolysis with Prolyve®. Ultrafiltration was then used to purified albumins and enrich the peptide fraction. The fraction obtained showed a noteworthy metal chelating activity. Then, the selected proteolysis was optimized in order to maximize the albumins purity and yield. For that, enzymatic mechanism identification in a wide operating conditions area was led to define the DoE. Then, simulation of hydrolysis kinetics was driven to predict protein fractions concentration at any time and any set of operation conditions. The obtained models were implemented in a genetic-evolutionary algorithm to generate the Pareto Front and Domain, presenting the targeted economical compromises. One solution was chosen and the identified corresponding operating conditions proved the metal chelating activity conservation (EC50 = 247 ± 27 µg) for three times faster production at the same enzyme cost. Finally, peptide activity was investigated in oil-in-water emulsion systems and compared with EDTA. Results showed that peptides could be as effective as EDTA to avoid primary and secondary lipid oxidation products formation.This work demonstrates an original total valorization of both rapeseed meal proteins in food applications. First, antioxidant peptides produced from the globulin fraction, could be used as food preservative in oil-in-water emulsion systems, but also as preventing agents for micronutrient deficiencies. And, the purified albumin fraction could be used to prevent microbial spoilage.

Abstract:
Bioactive peptides can be obtained from protein hydrolysates through in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis, gastrointestinal digestion, and microbial fermentation. Recent emerging research suggests that prebiotic-stimulated gut microbiota also plays a role in generating bioactive peptides and amino acids in gut. In this study, we examined if enzymatic hydrolysis of soybean and wheat germ, plant materials often used in oil industry, can generate antihypertensive peptides and determined if prebiotic digestive enzymes can induce the production of gut microbiota-derived amino acids. In the first experiment, soybean and wheat germ were hydrolyzed by protease enzymes. Then, their hydrolysates were subjected to peptide isolation and identification. Identified peptides were subjected to test for their potential antihypertensive activities. For the second experiment, rodents were fed an Aspergillus-derived protease- or lipase-mixed diet for 2 weeks. Then, cecum contents were collected for bacteria and metabolite analyses. As a result, we found that His-Gly-Lys from soybean hydrolysate strongly inhibited angiotensin II-induced elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentration in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Trp-Val and Trp-Ile from wheat germ hydrolysate were found to inhibit Ca2+-calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II), a protein kinase promoting hypertension by inducing Ca2+ influx into VSMCs, in rat thoracic aorta rings. These findings suggest the potential of the plant-derived peptides in preventing hypertension and vascular-related diseases. In the second experiment, we found that the dietary protease and lipase increased Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus probiotics and induced the production of probiotic-derived amino acids, taurine, ornithine, and γ-aminobutyric acid. Since these amino acids have versatile functions including in gut health modulation and brain functions, it can be hypothesized that the dietary prebiotic-digestive enzymes may be beneficial for gut health and brain functions. This study suggests the possibility of applying oil processing by-products in the production of functional food ingredients including bioactive peptides and amino acids.

Full text
Abstract:
Slaughterhouse blood is a valuable by-product since multiple bioactive compounds can be derived out of it. Its solid fraction consists mainly of hemoglobin, which is a good source of antimicrobial and antioxidant peptides that can be released by peptic hydrolysis. Nevertheless, this method has limitations such as low yield, expensive cost of enzyme process, and non-eco-friendly production (high energy consumption and chemical reagents requested). Amount the alternative green technologies for protein valorization, pulsed electric field (PEF) stands out since it allows modifying the physicochemical properties of proteins, promoting the enzymatic hydrolysis, enzyme inactivation, and bioactivity enhancement. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of PEF on the pepsin inactivation and biological activities (antimicrobial and antioxidant) in hemoglobin hydrolysates. Bovine and porcine hemoglobins were hydrolyzed with pepsin for 3 h (37°C, pH 3.0) and treated with PEF (73 pulses, 23.8kV/cm, 90Hz) to inactivate the enzyme. The hydrolysis degree was evaluated, which did not show significant changes after PEF-inactivation of pepsin, whereas the peptide population analysis by RP-UPLC-MS/MS showed some changes in PEF-treated hydrolysates over time, which suggested a residual pepsin activity. Additionally, the impact of pH (3, 7, and 10) on bioactivity was studied. PEF-treatments did not show a significant impact on antimicrobial (antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-yeast activities) and antioxidant activities (DPPH and ORAC). However, higher pH fostered stronger anti-yeast activity (R. mucilaginosa) and DPPH‐scavenging capacity, whereas pH 7 fostered the antifungal activity (M. racemosus). Even though some changes were observed in the peptide population, no negative effects of PEF were found for biological activities. Thus, the utilization of hemoglobin from the meat industry combined with PEF-treatment fits the circular economy concept since derived peptides can be recycled to protect meat and other products against microbial growth and oxidation.

Full text
Abstract:
Flaxseed meal is rich in water-soluble gums and, as such, can improve texture in gluten-free products. Flaxseed bioactive-antioxidant peptides, linusorbs (LOs, a.k.a. cyclolinopeptides), are a class of molecules that may contribute health-promoting effects. The effects of dough preparation, baking, and storage on flaxseed-derived LOs stability in doughs and baked products are unknown. Gluten-free (GF) bread dough and bread were prepared with flaxseed meal and the LO content was determined in the flaxseed meal, bread flour containing the flaxseed meal, bread dough, and bread. The LO content during storage (0, 1, 2, and 4 weeks) at different temperatures (−18 °C, 4 °C, and 22−23 °C) was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). The content of oxidized LOs like [1–9-NαC],[1(Rs,Ss)-MetO]-linusorb B2 (LO14) were substantially constant in flaxseed meal and flour produced from flaxseed meal under all conditions for up to four weeks. However, during GF-bread production LOs decreased. Due to microbial contamination dough could not be stored at either 4 or 21°C, and bread could only be stored for one week at 21°C. Up to four weeks of storage was possible for bread and dough at −18 °C and bread at 4 °C without the loss of LOs. The LOs change during processing and storage. The concentration of reduced LOs in flour and meal were much higher than measured in dough and bread. There was not a corresponding increase in oxidized LOs. The LOs in flaxseed meal-fortified bread were stable for products stored at low temperatures to preserve LOs. This study is the first of the impact of baking conditions on LOs content and quality.
