AB  - This study aimed to purify, characterise and stabilise the natural food colourant, R-phycocyanin (R-PC), from the red algae Porphyra spp. (Nori). We purified R-PC from dried Nori flakes with a high purity ratio (A618/A280 ≥ 3.4) in native form (α-helix content 53%). SAXS measurements revealed that R-PC is trimeric ((αβ)3) in solution. The thermal denaturation of α-helix revealed one transition (Tm at 52 °C), while the pH stability study showed R-PC is stable in the pH range 4–8. The thermal treatment of R-PC at 60 °C has detrimental and irreversible effects on R-PC colour and antioxidant capacity (22 % of residual capacity). However, immobilisation of R-PC within calcium alginate beads completely preserves R-PC colour and mainly retains its antioxidant ability (78 % of residual capacity). Results give new insights into the stability of R-PC and preservation of its purple colour and bioactivity by encapsulation in calcium alginate beads.

AB  - Purple R-phycocyanin is a protein from red algae with the potential for application in the food industry (colorant) and wastewater treatment (binding of heavy metals). Analytical grade R-phycocyanin was purified from the buffered extract of dried Nori flakes (Porphyra spp.) by combining ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydroxyapatite, and DEAE-Sepharose column chromatography. The multimeric protein had absorption maxima characteristic for phycoerythrobilin (at 580 nm) and phycocyanobilin (at 640 nm) chromophores, high α- helical content, and melting temperature of 52°C. The secondary R-PC structure was stable under a wide range of pH values (3–9). R-phycocyanin immobilized in calcium alginate beads showed increased thermal stability and preserved antioxidant activity.
AB  - Ljubičasti R-fikocijanin je protein crvenih algi sa mogućnostima primene u industriji hrane (kolorant) i za tretman otpadnih voda (vezuje teške metale). R-fikocijanin analitičke čistoće je izolovan iz puferisanog ekstrakta osušenih Nori algi (Porphyra spp.), kombinacijom taloženja amonijum-sulfatom, hidroksiapatitne i hromatografije na DEAE-Sepharose koloni. Multimerni protein imao je apsorpcione maksimume karakteristične za fikoeritrobilinsku (na 580 nm) i fikocijanobilinsku (na 640 nm) hromoforu, visok sadržaj α-zavojnica i temperaturu topljenja od 52°C. Sekundarna struktura proteina bila je stabilna u širokom rasponu pH vrednosti (3–9). R-fikocijanin imobilisan u kuglice kalcijum-alginata pokazao je povećanu toplotnu stabilnost i očuvana antioksidativna svojstva.

AB  - Cultured meat requires less land and water and is less polluting, but still costly. The critical challenge in cultivated meat science is identifying and developing bovine serum albumin alternatives as the key component in cell media. Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) from micro- and macroalgae are promising candidates for albumin replacement due to their high abundance and well-known excellent antioxidative and metal-binding activities of covalently attached tetrapyrrole chromophores. Considering the importance of fatty acids (FA) binding by albumin for cell cultivation, the additional prerequisites for developing PBPs as albumin replacement components is their validation for the ability to bind FA. This study aims to examine the ability of C-phycocyanin (C-PC), the major PBP of microalgae Arthrospira platensis, to bind seven fatty acids (stearic, palmitic, oleic, elaidic, linoleic, linolenic and docosahexaenoic acid). For this purpose, we employed various optical spectroscopy techniques (fluorescence, CD, and VIS absorption spectroscopy). The protein fluorescence quenching approach demonstrated FA binding affinities ranging from 0.42 to 2.4 x 105 M−1, with the ability of FA to bind at different sites on C-PC. Fatty acid binding induces substantial changes in the VIS absorption spectra of C-PC, indicating the FA are attached in the vicinity of C-PC chromophores. On the other hand, CD spectroscopy did not show significant effects of FA binding on C-PC secondary structure content. Overall, this study revealed C-PC's significant potential in binding FA, the critical prerequisite to replacing albumin for developing animal-free cell media for meat cultivation.

AB  - Porphyra  sp.(Nori),  red  algae,  is  a  highly  nutritious  superfood  due  to  its  abundance  of  vitamins, minerals,    antioxidants,    and    proteins,    including    R-phycocyanin    (R-PC),    a    purple-coloured phycobiliprotein. However, the limited stability of R-PC poses a challenge to itsapplication in the food industry. This study aimed to purify, characterize, and stabilize R-PC for use as a natural colourant in the  food,  cosmetic,  and  pharmaceutical  industries.  Highly  pure  R-PC  was  obtained  from  Nori  flakes, and its trimeric ((αβ)3) structure was determined using SAXS measurements. Far-UV CD spectroscopy revealed the dominant secondary structure to be α-helix, and R-PC was stable in the pH range of 4 to 8. However, thermal treatment at 60 °C had detrimental and irreversible effects on the R-PC's colour and antioxidant   capacity   (22%   residual   capacity).   Encapsulation   within   the   calcium   alginate   beads preserved  its purple colour and retained its  antioxidant capacity (78% residual capacity). Our findings demonstrate  the  potential  of  R-PC  as a  replacement  for  toxic  synthetic  dyes  and  highlight  the importance of stabilizing R-PC through encapsulation for its bioactivity and colour preservation.

AB  - High pressure (HP) is particularly suited to study protein folding/unfolding, revealing subtle structural rearrangements not accessible by other types of denaturation. HP also has many industrial-scale advantages over heat treatments, including “greener” processing and preservation of nutritional values, colors, and flavors of foods. We have combined in situ HP with small-angle (X-ray and neutron) scattering (SAS) and spectrophotometry to follow the structure in solution of proteins of interest for the food industry. SAS is an essential technique for obtaining structural, but low-resolution, information about proteins, when conventional high-resolution structural biology methods are not possible. I will illustrate this approach with two studies on proteins of food interest: (i) bovine β-lactoglobulin (BLG), a whey protein with a high propensity to bind to various bioactive molecules. We probed by SANS1 and absorbance the effects on pressure stability and reversibility of BLG of the binding of retinol (vitamin A), resveratrol (polyphenol), and biliverdin (linear tetrapyrrole chromophore) to different sites on the protein2, 3. (ii) C-phycocyanin (CPC), a phycobiliprotein from cyanobacteria, to which tetrapyrrole chromophores are covalently attached and which can be used as a natural blue dye in the food industry. We studied by SAXS and absorbance HP-induced CPC unfolding and reversibility from two oligomeric states of the protein as a function of pH.

AB  - Both Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina) and Porphyra sp. (Nori) are algae known for their richness in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, proteins, such as phycobiliproteins (PBPs). Тhanks to their exceptional nutritional properties they have potential to be considered as a high-quality substitute for fetal bovine serum (FBS) in cellular cultivation, which has numerous drawbacks since it can be involved in contamination development and its composition is still unclear. In this study we investigated the influence of Spirulina and Nori extracts on HEK293T cell line growth and viability in serum-reduced conditions. In DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 0–10% FBS, the concentration-dependent effects of PBPs on cell proliferation were investigated. Cell viability and cytotoxicity were evaluated by MTT assay. During 3-day observation prior to MTT assay and MTT assay itself showed that HEK293T exhibited improvement in viability at lower PBP concentrations, while presence of higher concentrations resulted in inhibition of growth and change in morphology as a consequence of their cytotoxicity at higher concentrations. These findings suggest that PBPs have a positive outcome on cell growth at relevant doses. In general, in this study were obtained results proving the potential advantages of PBPs at lower doses on cell proliferation in serum-reduced conditions, but also HEK293T cells ability to adapt in non-standard cultivation set-up.
