Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) proteins have several biological functions and maintain the fat globule structure. However, the major MFGM protein compositions in simulated human milk emulsions are different from those in human milk due to the composition loss in the isolation process of MFGM materials. To overcome this limitation, we developed a novel strategy, namely, the solution enriched with MFGM was homogenized with cream separated from the milk rich in large-sized fat globules. The results of physicochemical properties and the interfacial protein coverage of the emulsions showed that the emulsions prepared by the new method had a smaller particle size, higher stability, and more interfacial protein coverage when the ratio of fat to protein was 1:3. In addition, proteome differences in interfacial proteins between the new emulsions and simulated infant formula emulsions were investigated, and the results revealed that the interface of the emulsions prepared by the new method contained all major MFGM proteins and unique GO annotations and KEGG pathways. However, only four MFGM proteins (XO, ADPH, PAS 6/7) were quantified at the interface of the emulsions prepared by the common method. Furthermore, the protein number and the total relative abundance of major MFGM proteins were approximately 2-fold and 475-fold higher at the interface of the emulsions prepared by the new method compared to the common method. Overall, the study modulated the interfacial protein composition of fat globules by screening the sources of lipid and homogenization methods and revealed its potential effect on processing stability and biological properties.
乳脂肪球膜(MFGM)蛋白具有多种生物学功能,维持脂肪球结构。然而,由于 MFGM 材料分离过程中的成分损失,模拟人乳乳液中的主要 MFGM 蛋白组成与母乳中的组成不同。为了克服这一限制,我们开发了一种新策略,即用富含 MFGM 的溶液与富含大脂肪球的乳分离出的奶油进行均质化。乳液的物理化学性质和界面蛋白覆盖率的结果表明,当脂肪与蛋白质的比例为 1:3 时,新方法制备的乳液具有更小的粒径、更高的稳定性和更多的界面蛋白覆盖率。此外,还研究了新乳液和模拟婴儿配方乳液界面蛋白的蛋白质组差异,结果表明,新方法制备的乳液界面含有所有主要 MFGM 蛋白以及独特的 GO 注释和 KEGG 途径。然而,在常用方法制备的乳液界面仅定量了四种 MFGM 蛋白(XO、ADPHE、PAS6/7)。此外,新方法制备的乳液界面的蛋白质数量和主要 MFGM 蛋白的总相对丰度分别比常用方法高约 2 倍和 475 倍。总的来说,本研究通过筛选脂质来源和均质化方法来调节脂肪球的界面蛋白组成,并揭示了其对加工稳定性和生物学特性的潜在影响。
