Validation of an extraction method for the quantification of soluble free and insoluble bound phenolic compounds in wheat by HPLC-DAD

Wheat is one of the three most widely grown grain crops and the most consumed in Europe. Wheat contains different phenolic compounds, mainly phenolic acids and flavonoids that are not evenly distributed in the wheat, being most abundant in the bran. These phenolic compounds are antioxidants against free radicals and other reactive oxygen species. Therefore, over the last few decades, there is a great interest to study and quantify these compounds present in wheat.This work proposes a HPLC-DAD method that allows a good separation of different phenolic compounds occurring as soluble free and insoluble bound compounds in wheat brand and flour. The extraction and the chromatographic conditions allowed the characterization of forty-two phenolic compounds, among phenolic acids (HBA, HCA, DFA and TFA), phenolic aldehydes, phenolic alcohols and flavonoids (flavones). This method is simple, sensitive, reproducible and accurate, and only a HPLC-DAD equipment is required. Thirty-four soluble and insoluble phenolic compounds can be quantified in wheat flour and brand. Hydroxytyrosol, a potent antioxidant compound, has been identified and quantified in wheat for the first time.     

不同产地香菇氨基酸组成及营养价值评价

为比较不同产地香菇的氨基酸组成差异,使用氨基酸自动分析仪快速检测了5种不同产地香菇的氨基酸组成,采用氨基酸比值系数法对其氨基酸进行营养价值评价。结果表明,不同产地香菇的氨基酸含量不同,总氨基酸含量在(14.39～18.71) g/100 g;必需氨基酸含量相差较大,其范围为(4.68～6.33) g/100 g,必需氨基酸占总氨基酸(EAA/TAA)的平均值为34%,必需氨基酸占非必需氨基酸(EAA/NEAA)的平均值为51%。在5种香菇样品中,亮氨酸的比值系数(RC)最小,为第一限制性氨基酸,氨基酸比值系数分(SRC)平均值为87.846。四川通江(Q5)香菇的SRC值最高,且各必需氨基酸的RC值与1接近,与模式氨基酸最接近,因此从氨基酸含量及必需氨基酸所占比例来讲,四川通江(Q5)香菇的品质最佳,可作为香菇蛋白产品开发与利用的理想资源。     

Biochemical defense responses of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) lines to Phytophthora capsici

A study on biochemical factors involved in black pepper defense response against Phytophthora capsici, was carried out in P. capsici susceptible (Sreekara) and resistant (04-P24, shows root resistance to the pathogen) black pepper lines. Seven important factors – change in membrane conductance, total phenols, orthodihydroxy (OD) phenols, lignin and defense related enzymes (peroxidase, β-1,3 glucanase and β-1,4 glucanase) – were studied under uninoculated and pathogen (P. capsici, isolate 06-04) inoculated condition to know the preformed and induced responses. The pathogen was inoculated (soil inoculation) and plants were observed for changes, at 24 h intervals for 10 days. On 8th day after inoculation symptoms started appearing on Sreekara and increased the severity till 10th day. Both root and stem samples were subjected for biochemical analysis. Of the factors analyzed, it was found that membrane conductance, OD phenol, lignin and peroxidase activity play significant role in root resistance to P. capsici in 04-P24. Light microscopy of the portion of root – where pathogen found attached – was also done.     

热激处理对甜柿外植体总酚含量和PAL、PPO、POD活性的影响

甜柿在组织培养过程中极易褐化,为了防止褐变,在培养之前应对外植体进行热激处理。文中研究了热激处理后的宝华甜柿叶片在培养过程中其酚类物质含量和苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、多酚氧化酶(PPO)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性的变化情况,并对热激处理抑制组培褐变的生理机制进行了初步探讨。结果表明:热激处理后,宝华甜柿叶片的褐变程度比没有处理的明显减轻,其总酚含量与苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)及多酚氧化酶(PPO)活性均有所降低,但热激处理对其过氧化物酶(POD)活性的抑制效果并不明显,说明热激处理通过降低外植体的PAL及PPO活性,抑制酚类物质的合成及氧化,减少了褐变产物——醌类物质的形成,从而有效抑制了褐变现象的发生。     

Characterization of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) grown with biopesticides and deltamethrin

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physico-chemical characteristics and the post-harvest loss of mass of curly lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cv. Verônica that was grown in a protective environment with applications of biopesticides. The curly lettuce was treated by spraying with neem oil, cassava flour wastewater (manipueira), biofertiliser or the control treatment of deltamethrin. We determined the weight, circumference, dry matter, ash, crude protein, total phenols and minerals profile for the heads of lettuce. After harvesting, the lettuce was packed into opened plastic bags and kept at 5 °C for 5 days to evaluate its weight loss. No differences were observed among the treatments for the physico-chemical parameters. The lettuce that was sprayed with manipueira or biofertiliser had the greatest weight loss during storage. The achievement of similar yields with cheaper products suggests a benefit of using organic bioinsecticides.     

拉缘蝽为害对卵叶小蜡内含物含量的影响

通过对受拉缘蝽不同程度为害的卵叶小蜡叶片的单宁、黄酮、总酚含量的测定,结果表明:受害的卵叶小蜡叶片的单宁含量随着拉缘蝽若、成虫为害程度的加重而发生变化,在受害初期显著增加,但随着为害程度的加重,而呈逐渐下降的趋势;受害卵叶小蜡叶片中黄酮含量随着受害程度的加剧,呈先上升、而后再下降的特点;叶部总酚的含量随着受害程度的不断加重,总酚的含量呈现上升的趋势。说明卵叶小蜡应激反应的过程是一种随着受害程度的不同而不断变化的动态过程。     

松材线虫侵染对松树苯丙氨酸解氨酶及酚类物质的影响

以湿地松（Pinus elliottii Engelm）、日本黑松（Pinus thunbergii Parl）为材料,研究松材线虫[Bursaphelenchus xylophilus（Steiner＆Buhrer,1934）Nickle]感染对苯丙氨酸解氨酶和酚类物质的影响.两种松树的苯丙氨酸解氨酶的活性在发病过程中都有明显增加,并且伴随着酶活性的变化,各种苯丙烷次生代谢产物,如总酚、类黄酮的含量也发生明显的变化.但湿地松在苯丙氨酸解氨酶活力和酚类物质的积累上的变化比黑松要大些.结果表明,松材线虫病的发生、发展与寄主植物苯丙氨酸解氨酶活性和酚类物质含量变化有关.     

取代酚类极性有机物C_(18)膜/水分配行为的研究

采用C18膜模拟生物体及高效液相色谱分析方法，探讨了极性有机化合物取代酚在C18膜与水相之间的分配规律，研究了pH和盐度对分配的影响，测定厂取代酚的C18膜／水分配系数Ksd。结果表明，取代酚达到分配平衡的时间很短，其C18膜／水分配系数不会因分配时间的延长而增大；随着取代酚的正辛醇／水分配系数的增大，化合物从水中向C18膜转化的比例逐渐增加，其相应的C18膜／水分配系数也随之增加；盐度的增加对极性化合物C18膜／水分配系数的大小没有显著的影响；pH的增大将降低化合物的分配系数。通过C18膜／水分配规律的研究，可以推测生物体或环境介质对取代酚类化合物的积累程度，由此可以较直观地评价该类化合物的环境持久性，以及因脂溶性所产生的生物基线毒性。为取代酚类化合物的生态风险评价和管理提供科学依据。
