结果表明,四种蛋白质均能提高甜菜苷的热稳定性,保护效果为:乳铁蛋白>大豆分离蛋白>β-乳球蛋白≈大米蛋白,蛋白质对甜菜苷热稳定性的提高与蛋白-甜菜苷复合物的形成有关。
通过浊度、紫外光谱、粒径的实验结果推测,甜菜苷与乳铁蛋白、β-乳球蛋白、大豆分离蛋白的结合程度高于大米蛋白,这可能是由于大米蛋白的低溶解度和紧密结构造成的。

zgrpgy@中国乳品工业0引言液态婴儿配方奶是以水、牛奶、脱盐乳清粉、植物油为原料,添加适量的维生素、矿物质或其它微量有益成分,经超高温(UHT)灭菌处理后,无菌包装而成[1],既有植物油等脂类物质构成的油相,又有乳蛋白、矿物质、维生素及其他营养素构成的水相,是一种比牛奶更复杂的客观不稳定分散体系,容易出现脂肪上浮、蛋白质沉淀等不稳定现象。
为克服这一缺点,在加工过程中采用均质工艺将脂肪颗粒破碎成较小的脂肪球,使其均匀分散在乳中,有效地防止了产品分层、沉淀。
但均质使脂肪球总表面积增大,原来的成膜物质不足以包裹新生的脂肪球,新产生的表面被乳中的蛋白包裹,导致界面蛋白含量增加,容易与乳清蛋白发生作用,因而使得均质乳的热稳定性降低。
而在实际生产中几乎所有的乳制品都要经过超高温瞬时杀菌(UHT)等热杀菌处理,因而形成稳定的乳状液以抵抗热杀菌防止热凝固是十分必要的。
要达到这一目的,加入适量的表面活性剂是行之有效的方法之一。
大豆磷脂是常用的表面活性剂,是非常有效的稳定剂,能够在较大的pH 范围内(pH 6.3~pH 7.1)提高乳的热稳定性,甚至在均质之后加入也能使乳的热稳定性得到提高[2]。
大豆磷脂和酪蛋白能共同保护新生的脂肪球表面,建立新的脂肪球结构,并能降低热处理过程中吸附的总界面蛋白含量[3],进而提高乳的热稳定性。
本研究以液态婴儿配方奶蛋白乳状液为基础研究大豆磷脂对牛乳蛋白乳状液热稳定性的影响,研究了添加大豆磷脂对牛乳蛋白乳状液的热凝固时间(HCT)、粒径分布、表面疏水性、Zeta 电位和游离巯基含量的影响,并探讨了相关作用机理,以期为研究大豆磷脂影响牛乳蛋白乳状液热稳定性的机制提供理收稿日期:2009-03-24基金项目:“十一五”黑龙江省科学技术计划攻关项目(GB07B407)。

BASIC NUTRITIONAL INVESTIGATIONSoy Protein Isolate and Its Hydrolysate ReduceBody Fat of Dietary Obese Rats and GeneticallyObese Mice(Yellow KK)Toshiaki Aoyama,PhD,Kensuke Fukui,MSc,Kiyoharu Takamatsu,PhD,Yukio Hashimoto,BS,and Takashi Yamamoto,PhDFrom the Department of Novelty Materials,Research Institute,Fuji Oil Co.,Ltd.,Izumisano,Osaka,JapanThis study examined in dietary obese and genetically obese rodents the effects of soy protein isolate(SPI)and its hydrolysate(SPI-H)on the rate of body-fat disappearance.Male Sprague-Dawley rats(4–16wkold)and yellow KK mice(6–10wk old)were made obese by feeding high-fat diets containing30%fat.They were then fed energy-restricted,low-fat(5.0%),and high-protein(35%casein,SPI,or SPI-H)dietsfor4wk at60%of the level of the energy intake of rodents on laboratory chow.The body-fat contentsof rats and mice fed a high-fat diet were27.3and33.6g/100g body weight,respectively,at the end ofthe obese period.For rats,the apparent absorbability of dietary energy and fat was significantly lower inthe SPI and SPI-H groups than in the casein group,but vice-versa for nitrogen balance.Body-fat contentin mice fed SPI and SPI-H diets was significantly lower than in those fed the casein diet.In rats,plasmatotal cholesterol level was lower with the SPI-H diet,and plasma glucose level was lower with the SPIand SPI-H diets than with the casein diet.These results indicate that SPI and SPI-H are suitable proteinsources in energy-restricted diets for the treatment of obesity.Nutrition2000;16:349–354.©ElsevierScience Inc.2000Key words:obesity,weight reduction,soy protein,protein hydrolysate,body fat,dietary obese rats,genetically obese miceINTRODUCTIONObesity is induced by an imbalance of energy intake and consump-tion.Because overeating is one of the major causes of obesity, restriction of energy intake is the basis of dietary therapy for this disorder.However,simple food restriction reduces not only body fat but also body protein.1The low-energy diet used for the treatment of obese diabetics simultaneously decreases the protein-efficiency ratio.2High-protein diets help maintain body protein when energy intake is restricted.3Protein turnover can be main-tained at a normal level during energy deprivation as long as protein intake is optimized.4Garlick et al.5suggested that weight reduction under energy restriction required protein supplementa-tion.Volgarev et al.6reported that soy protein was effective for reducing weight in obesity,suggesting that the kind of dietary protein influences weight reduction,although they did not compare the effectiveness of soy protein with other proteins.No additional information is available concerning a suitable protein source for diets of weight reduction or energy restriction in obese subjects.Soybean protein has a hypocholesterolemic effect compared with animal proteins such as casein,7,8and it also markedly de-creases the activity of hepatic lipogenic enzymes.9In addition,the weight of brown adipose tissue is higher in rats fed a soy protein diet than in those fed a casein diet.10However,dietary protein affects metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the liver,and soy protein in relation to casein tends to reduce the metabolism of linoleic acid to arachidonic acid and,hence,the production of several eicosanoids.11Although there is a possibility that these effects may involve the reduction of body fat,it is not clear whether soy protein is suitable as the protein source for weight reduction.Therefore,we investigated the influence of soy protein isolate(SPI)and its hydrolysate(SPI-H)on weight reduction by using dietary obese rats and genetically obese mice. MATERIALS AND METHODSAll animals were treated in accordance with the National Institutes of Health’s Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.12 They were housed individually in cages under a controlled atmo-sphere(temperatureϭ23°CϮ1,humidityϭ55%Ϯ5,lightϭ0700–1900h).Table I shows the composition of the experimental diets.Nitrogen content was determined by the Kjeldahl method (Kjeltec Auto1030Analyzer,Nippon General Trading Co.,To-kyo,Japan).SPI-H was prepared by hydrolyzing SPI with protease from Bacillus subtilis(Hynute-D1,Fuji Oil Co.,Osaka,Japan); average peptide chain length wasfive to six.The experimental protocol is summarized in Figure1.Experiment1ANIMALS AND DIETS.Specific pathogen-free3-wk-old male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing45–60g,were purchased from Japan SLC(Hamamatsu,Japan)and fed commercial pellets (CRF-1,Oriental Yeast Co.,Ltd.,Tokyo,Japan)for5d until they weighed85–100g.Rats were then fed a high-fat diet(containing 30%fat)to induce obesity.One

group).Rats were then randomly assigned to four groups,with the same body weight in each group.Six rats were killed at this stage,and the remaining obese rats were fed energy-restricted diets for additional 4wk (85–112d).Although the number of rats in each restricted group was the same,8rats per group,2rats in the casein and SPI-H groups did not ingest diets during nitrogen-balance measurement,possibly due to a change in the environment.This was not the case for rats in the SPI group.The energy-restricted diets containing 5.6%nitrogen from either casein,SPI,or SPI-H were fed at the level corresponding to 60%of the average daily energy intake by chow-fed rats during 6–18wk of the feeding period.In addition to the observation in rats that the restriction of energy intake to 60%produced a clear difference in growth,the amount of energy humans usually consume was considered.The energy intake of 1200–1600kcal is necessary to maintain human basal metabolism,and this quantity corresponds to about 60%of the amount of energy intake,between 2000and 2500kcal.A similar response might be reproducible if the extent of restriction is adequate.Therefore,we devised an energy restriction of 60%.MEASUREMENT.Food intake and body weight were recorded daily.Feces and urine were collected for 3d every 110–112d.On day 85or 113,food was not provided for 16h (1800–1000h).Blood was drawn from the abdominal aorta into a heparinized syringe under intraperitoneal sodium pentobarbital (15mol/100g body weight)anesthesia,and the liver,epididymal,and perirenal fat pads and the carcass were excised and immediately weighed.Plasma was separated by centrifugation at 1900g for 15min at 5°C and frozen at Ϫ30°C until analyzed.ANALYSES.Feces were freeze dried and powdered with a small electric coffee mill.The energy value of diets and feces was measured with an autocalculating bomb calorimeter (CA-4P,Shi-FIG.1.Experimental protocol in experiments 1and 2.TABLE I.COMPOSITIONS OF

parameters and nutrient digestibility of rats in experiment1.The mean food and energy intakes of the chow group were20.0Ϯ0.8g/d and343Ϯ13kJ/d,respectively. The food intake in the high-fat group(17.8Ϯ0.5g/d)was lower, whereas energy intake(410.0Ϯ11.7kJ/d)was significantly higher than those in the chow group(PϽ0.05).Consequently,weight gain in the high-fat group was significantly greater than weight gain in the chow group(382Ϯ112versus299Ϯ18g,PϽ0.05). The food intake during the period of energy-restricted diets was reduced to12.0g/d,corresponding to60%of the energy intake in the chow group.Rats fed SPI and SPI-H diets tended to reduce body weight more than those fed the casein diet.Fecal weights of rats fed SPI and SPI-H diets tended to be greater than in those fed the casein diet,but the difference was not statistically significant.TABLE II.BODY WEIGHT,FOOD INTAKE,FECAL EXCRETION,AND APPARENT DIGESTIBILITY OF NUTRIENTS AND ENERGY IN RATS FEDREFERENCE AND ENERGY-RESTRICTED DIETS(EXPERIMENT1)*Reference group Energy-restricted groupChow(7)High fat(6)Casein(6)SPI(8)SPI-H(6) Initial body weight(g)92.0Ϯ2.0†94.4Ϯ2.3491Ϯ21503Ϯ15499Ϯ15 Final body weight(g)391Ϯ20†476Ϯ12436Ϯ15442Ϯ12437Ϯ15 Weight gain(g/d) 3.6Ϯ0.2† 4.5Ϯ0.1Ϫ2.0Ϯ0.3Ϫ2.2Ϯ0.2Ϫ2.2Ϯ0.1 Food intakeDiet(g/d)20.0Ϯ0.8†17.8Ϯ0.511.7Ϯ0.111.7Ϯ0.111.6Ϯ0.1 Energy(kJ/d)343.0Ϯ13.8†410.0Ϯ11.7201.0Ϯ1.7200.0Ϯ0.8199.0Ϯ0.8 Protein(g/d) 4.6Ϯ0.2† 2.7Ϯ0.1 4.1Ϯ0.1 4.1Ϯ0.1 4.1Ϯ0.1 Fat(g/d) 1.2Ϯ0.1† 5.3Ϯ0.20.6Ϯ0.10.6Ϯ0.10.6Ϯ0.1 Fecal excretionFeces,dry weight(mg/d)3641Ϯ177†2165Ϯ731046Ϯ331127Ϯ351128Ϯ35 Energy(kJ/d)60.2Ϯ2.9†43.1Ϯ2.116.3Ϯ0.4a18.8Ϯ0.4b20.1Ϯ0.8b Protein(mg/d)925Ϯ45†311Ϯ25237Ϯ22a275Ϯ16ab304Ϯ6b Fat(mg/d)136Ϯ10†382Ϯ1238.3Ϯ3.8a54.2Ϯ3.1b61.1Ϯ3.2b Apparent digestibilityEnergy(%)80.8Ϯ0.2†87.4Ϯ0.392.3Ϯ0.2b90.0Ϯ0.3a90.4Ϯ0.3a Protein(%)77.9Ϯ0.678.1Ϯ1.294.1Ϯ0.693.3Ϯ0.492.3Ϯ0.7 Fat(%)86.8Ϯ0.6†93.4Ϯ0.393.5Ϯ0.7b90.5Ϯ0.5a89.3Ϯ0.5a *Values are meansϮSE.Number of rats is given in parentheses.Among energy-restricted groups,values in the same row with different superscripts are different at PϽ0.05.†PϽ0.05,chow versus high fat by Student’s t test.SPI,soy protein isolate;SPI-H,soy protein isolate hydrolysate.than did those fed casein,whereas energy and fat excretion in the SPI and SPI-H groups was significantly higher than that in the casein group.Therefore,the apparent digestibility of dietary en-ergy and fat in the SPI and SPI-H groups was significantly lower than that in the casein group.Body weight gain in experiment2during the energy-restricted diet period is shown in Table III.The food and energy intakes and weight gain of mice during the initial high-fat diet were5.2g/d, 120.0kJ/d,and0.54g/d,respectively(data not shown).The amount of diet consumed during energy-restricted diets was re-duced to3.0g/d,and mice fed the SPI-H diet lost more weight than those fed the casein diet for2–3wk(PϽ0.05).In experiment1,the nitrogen balance during energy-restricted diets was negative,and it was in the order of casein,SPI,and SPI-H(Table IV).As shown in Table V,the relative liver weight in rats fed the SPI-H diet was significantly lower than that in those fed the casein diet and was intermediate in those fed the SPI diet.A similar trend was observed in the weight of fat pads,but the difference was not significant.In mice the liver weight was comparable across the three restricted groups,but the weight of fat pads was significantly lower in the two vegetable-nitrogen groups than in the animal-protein group.The body-fat contents of rats and mice fed the high-fat diet were27and29g/100g body weight,respectively,and they lost weight on the energy-restricted diets(Table VI).Body fat in rats and mice fed the SPI and SPI-H diets tended to be lower than the body fat in those fed the casein diet,and the difference in mice was significant.Water,nitrogen,and ash content in the SPI and SPI-H groups tended to be higher than those in the casein group,and the ash content was significantly different between the casein and SPI-H groups(Table VI).In experiment1,plasma total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels were significantly lower in rats fed the SPI-H,but not SPI, diet than in those fed the casein diet(Table VII).Plasma triacyl-glycerol levels also tended to decrease more in rodents fed the SPI and SPI-H diets than those fed the casein diet.Plasma glucose level was significantly reduced in the two groups of rats fed vegetable-nitrogen sources,and the degree of the reduction was more marked in the SPI-H than in the SPI group. DISCUSSIONIn this study,we examined the effects of SPI and SPI-H on body-fat amount in dietary obese rats and genetically obese mice. The results suggest that these diets are better than casein as a dietary protein source to reduce body fat while maintaining body nitrogen.During diet therapy of obese patients,it is important to main-tain body nitrogen and restrict energy intake.Therefore,supple-mentation of the proper protein source is needed.In this study,rats and mice fed soy protein recovered more effectively from obesity than did the animals fed casein.Thus,the body fat in rats and mice fed SPI and SPI-H was lower than that in those fed casein. Whereas no difference was observed in body-protein content across the three different nitrogen sources,rats fed SPI and SPI-H showed lowered fat and energy digestibility due to an increase in fecal-fat excretion.The difference attributable to the change in digestibility between casein and SPI-H groups was estimated to be 2.5–5.0kJ,i.e.,about1kcal.Consequently,the difference in the decrease in body fat across groups cannot be explained by the difference in energy absorption alone.Baba et al.15and Shinjyo et al.16reported in rats that the soy-protein versus the casein diet reduced body fat and serum insulin levels significantly.Soy protein affected the conversion of thyroxine to triiodothyronine17and suppressed hepatic lipogenic enzyme gene expression in Wistar fatty rats.18Barth and Pfeuffer19 observed that feeding soy protein isolate resulted in a significantly higher total thyroxine concentration in serum than did casein in minipigs.Forsythe20also reported that gerbils fed soy protein had significantly higher plasma thyroxine and thyroid-stimulating hor-mone levels than did those fed casein.From these observations it is suggested that SPI and SPI-H alter the hormone balance and in turn accelerate lipid metabolism.TABLE III.BODY WEIGHT IN MICE FED ENERGY-RESTRICTED DIETS(EXPERIMENT2)*Casein(12)SPI(12)SPI-H(12)Initial body weight(g)46.8Ϯ0.446.8Ϯ0.446.8Ϯ0.4Weight reduction(g)1wk39.3Ϯ0.339.0Ϯ0.338.6Ϯ0.42wk36.9Ϯ0.3b36.2Ϯ0.3ab35.5Ϯ0.4a3wk36.0Ϯ0.3b35.4Ϯ0.3ab34.8Ϯ0.3a4wk35.7Ϯ0.335.5Ϯ0.335.1Ϯ0.3*Values are meansϮSE.Number of rats is given in parentheses.Among energy-restricted groups,values in the same row with differentsuperscripts are different at PϽ0.05.SPI,soy protein isolate;SPI-H,soy protein isolate hydrolysate.TABLE IV.APPARENT NITROGEN BALANCE IN RATS FED REFERENCE AND ENERGY-RESTRICTED DIETS(EXPERIMENT1)*NitrogenReference diet Energy-restricted dietChow(7)High fat(6)Casein(6)SPI(8)SPI-H(6)Intake(mg/3d)1896Ϯ93‡1048Ϯ361774Ϯ10a1839Ϯ15b1811Ϯ10b Fecal(mg/3d)435Ϯ21‡241Ϯ9111Ϯ10a129Ϯ6ab145Ϯ3b Urinary(mg/3d)1375Ϯ73‡653Ϯ351742Ϯ151769Ϯ401715Ϯ35 Balance(mg/3d)†86Ϯ21153Ϯ30Ϫ78Ϯ20Ϫ59Ϯ24Ϫ49Ϯ33 *Values are meansϮSE.Number of rats in parentheses.Among energy restricted groups,values in the same row with different superscripts are dif-ferent at PϽ0.05.†Apparent nitrogen balance.‡PϽ0.05,chow versus high fat,by Student’s t test.The hydrophobic high-molecular-weight fraction of soy protein appeared to affect lipid metabolism,21and this fraction is regarded as the principal component22responsible for lowering serum total cholesterol and triacylglycerol activity of soy protein.These hy-polipidemic effects may also relate to the reduction of body fat. The SPI-H used in the present study contained a hydrophobic high-molecule-weight fraction.Our study also showed a signifi-cant hypocholesterolemic effect of SPI-H compared with casein. Lowering the total plasma cholesterol level may well be concerned with the reduced absorption of cholesterol and fat and,hence,the reduction of body-fat accumulation.It is interesting to know whether the observed beneficial effects of SPI and in particular SPI-H can be attributable to the change in brown adipocyte activity because several studies with SPI-H have indicated this possibility.23,24One plausible explanation of the different response of liver and adipose tissue weight between rats and mice is the different met-abolic characteristics of those rodents.It seems likely that mice are less tolerant than rats to energy restriction.In this context,it is known that the fat in the liver is used earlier than that in epidid-ymal and perirenal fat pads.In conclusion,the present results indicated that SPI and SPI-H reduce body fat in genetically obese mice and accelerate lipid and energy metabolism,suggesting their beneficial property as theRELATIVE LIVER,EPIDIDYMAL,AND PERIRENAL FAT-PAD WEIGHT OF RATS AND MICE FED REFERENCE AND ENERGY-RESTRICTED DIETS(EXPERIMENTS1AND2)*Reference group Energy-restricted groupChow High fat Casein SPI SPI-H Experiment1n76686 Liver weight(g/100g bw) 2.98Ϯ0.20 3.17Ϯ0.11 2.86Ϯ0.10b 2.60Ϯ0.07ab 2.47Ϯ0.02a Fat-pad weightEpididymal(g/100g bw) 2.16Ϯ0.13† 3.41Ϯ0.12 3.12Ϯ0.08 2.81Ϯ0.18 2.71Ϯ0.25 Perirenal(g/100g bw) 2.58Ϯ0.13† 4.38Ϯ0.17 3.69Ϯ0.31 3.60Ϯ0.23 3.12Ϯ0.37 Experiment2n7121212 Liver weight(g/100g bw) 6.69Ϯ0.27 3.87Ϯ0.10 3.66Ϯ0.06 3.67Ϯ0.08 Fat-pad weightEpididymal(g/100g bw) 3.55Ϯ0.11 2.17Ϯ0.10b 1.88Ϯ0.09a 1.84Ϯ0.05a Perirenal(g/100g bw) 2.80Ϯ0.12 2.57Ϯ0.10b 1.87Ϯ0.09a 1.94Ϯ0.94a *Values are meansϮSE.Among the energy-restricted groups,values in the same row with different superscripts are different at PϽ0.05.†PϽ0.05,chow versus high fat,by Student’s t test.bw,body weight;SPI,soy protein isolate;SPI-H,soy protein isolate hydrolysate.TABLE VI.BODY COMPOSITION OF RATS AND MICE FED REFERENCE AND ENERGY-RESTRICTED DIETS(EXPERIMENTS1AND2)*Reference group Energy-restricted groupChow High fat Casein SPI SPI-H Experiment1n76686 Carcass weight(g)374Ϯ20†447Ϯ13410Ϯ14412Ϯ12407Ϯ14 Water(%)58.3Ϯ0.5†51.3Ϯ0.753.6Ϯ0.754.5Ϯ1.856.1Ϯ5.5 Protein(%)19.3Ϯ0.2†17.2Ϯ0.318.6Ϯ0.319.1Ϯ0.319.2Ϯ0.5 Fat(%)18.2Ϯ0.6†27.3Ϯ1.023.4Ϯ0.721.7Ϯ0.919.4Ϯ2.4 Ash(%) 3.2Ϯ0.1† 2.8Ϯ0.1 3.1Ϯ0.1 3.3Ϯ0.2 3.4Ϯ0.2 Experiment2n7121212 Carcass weight(g)37.0Ϯ0.529.8Ϯ0.329.1Ϯ0.428.6Ϯ0.3 Water(%)48.4Ϯ0.351.6Ϯ0.853.1Ϯ0.553.2Ϯ0.5 Protein(%)14.4Ϯ0.215.6Ϯ0.2a16.6Ϯ0.1c16.1Ϯ0.1b Fat(%)33.6Ϯ0.429.1Ϯ0.7b26.5Ϯ0.5a26.4Ϯ0.3a Ash(%) 2.7Ϯ0.1 3.2Ϯ0.1a 3.3Ϯ0.1ab 3.4Ϯ0.1b *Values are meansϮSE.Among energy-restricted groups,values in the same row with different superscripts are different at PϽ0.05.†PϽ0.05,between chow versus high fat,by Student’s t test.nitrogen source even in energy-restricted diets.The diet-induced obese rats also responded similarly but to a lesser extent.There-fore,the soy-protein products may be recommended as a nitrogen source in energy-restricted diets.SUMMARYBody-fat content and total plasma cholesterol and glucose levels in animals fed SPI and SPI-H diets were significantly lower than in those fed the casein diet under the condition of energy restriction. These results indicate that SPI and SPI-H are suitable protein sources in energy-restricted diets for treatment of obesity.
