Identification of novel umami peptides from Boletus edulis and its mechanism via sensory analysis and molecular simulation approaches

Shiqing Song et al.

Summary: The study aimed to identify umami peptides from Boletus edulis and explore their umami mechanism. 421, 713, and 616 peptides were identified by LC-MS/MS from control sample, enzymatically extracted sample, and high-pressure cooking sample, respectively. Three potential umami peptides (DGF, KCGQ, and HHYE) were chemically synthesized and evaluated. DGF/HHYE had the lowest umami recognition threshold values in the absence/presence of monosodium L-glutamate, and KCGQ exhibited the strongest synergistic umami effect. Molecular dynamic simulation revealed the major interaction forces in umami peptides and the involvement of charged amino acid residues in molecular recognition. This study provides a foundation for efficient screening of umami peptides from edible fungi and contributes to the research on structure-activity relationship of umami peptides.

Novel umami peptide from Hypsizygus marmoreus hydrolysate and molecular docking to the taste receptor T1R1/T1R3

Jincui Chang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to discover new umami peptides in Hypsizygus marmoreus. After enzymatic hydrolysis, the mushrooms were separated and characterized. The umami peptide EGTAG was obtained and sensory evaluation showed its distinct umami taste. Molecular docking analysis revealed the key amino acids involved in the binding between T1R1/T1R3 and the umami peptide. It is suggested that umami peptides from Hypsizygus marmoreus could be used as savory enhancers in low-salt foods.

Identification, taste characterization, and molecular docking study of a novel microbiota-derived umami peptide

Feiyu An et al.

Summary: Umami peptides are important taste substances in fermented foods. The understanding of umami mechanism is unclear due to the absence of known microbiota-derived umami peptides. Tetragenococcus halophilus, a dominant fermentation bacteria, was found to be a potential source of umami peptides. Three novel microbiota-derived peptides (DFE, LAGE, and QLQ) were identified and only DFE had umami and umami-enhancing abilities. Molecular docking studies revealed that DFE binds to T1R1/T1R3 receptors through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. This study highlights the critical role of microbiota-derived peptides in the umami taste of fermented foods.

Mechanisms of umami taste perception: From molecular level to brain imaging

Ben Wu et al.

Summary: Umami substances have gained attention in the food industry as potential replacers for sodium or fat to enhance food palatability. Understanding the mechanisms of umami taste perception, from receptor level to brain imaging, is crucial. Research into umami taste perception should not only focus on oral perception, but also on the broader signaling mechanisms throughout the body and interactions between the brain and gut.
