Rapeseed napin and cruciferin are readily digested by poultry [PDF]

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 2016
Rapeseed proteins have been considered as being poorly digestible in the gut of non-ruminants. The aim of the study was to assess the digestibility of napin and cruciferin in ileal digesta of broiler chickens, testing sixteen samples of rapeseed co ...

Cruciferin improves stress resistance and simulated gastrointestinal survival of probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri in the model encapsulation system

Food Hydrocolloids for Health, 2023
Encapsulation is a viable strategy to improve the stability and survival of probiotics during processing, storage, and consumption. Cruciferin, a major canola protein with high denaturation temperature and resistance to gastric degradation, has potential

Structural Properties of Cruciferin and Napin of Brassica napus (Canola) Show Distinct Responses to Changes in pH and Temperature [PDF]

Plants, 2016
The two major storage proteins identified in Brassica napus (canola) were isolated and studied for their molecular composition, structural characteristics and the responses of structural features to the changes in pH and temperature.

Characterization of a cruciferin deficient mutant of Arabidopsis and its utility for overexpression of foreign proteins in plants. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Plant seeds naturally accumulate storage reserves (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids) that are mobilized during germination to provide energy and raw materials to support early seedling growth. Seeds have been exploited as bioreactors for the production to

Breeding and biotechnology approaches to enhance the nutritional quality of rapeseed byproducts for sustainable alternative protein sources- a critical review. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
Global protein consumption is increasing exponentially, which requires efficient identification of potential, healthy, and simple protein sources to fulfil the demands. The existing sources of animal proteins are high in fat and low in fiber composition,

Structural insights into how vacuolar sorting receptor recognizes the C-terminal sorting determinant of a vicilin-like seed storage protein. [PDF]

FEBS J
Soluble cargo proteins are sorted to the vacuoles via a receptor‐mediated mechanism. Combining crystallographic and mutagenesis studies, we showed how the C‐terminal sorting determinant (ctVSD) of vicilin‐like seed storage protein VL22 is recognized by the protease‐associated domain of Arabidopsis vacuolar‐sorting receptor 1.

Survival Behavior of <i>Lactobacillus plantarum</i> Loaded in Alginate/Konjac Glucomannan Composite Beads Under Storage and Gastrointestinal Conditions. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
ALG/KGM bead was used as a protective and delivery carrier for Lactobacillus plantarum. The beads enhanced the storage stability of Lactobacillus plantarum at 4°C. Lactobacillus plantarum count greatly increases after 40 min gastric digestion. ABSTRACT Encapsulation techniques are commonly used to preserve the viability of probiotics during storage and
