Deodorization of soybean proteins by enzymatic and physicochemical treatments

To utilize soy protein isolate (SPI) more widely, a convenient and effective method for deodorizing it is required. This paper reports a new deodorizing method using various types of solid adsorbents made of polystyrene, polymethacrylate, and zeolite, as well as charcoal. Treatment of the SPI solution with them decreased the hexanal content in the solution, whereas the content of linoleic acid was not much decreased. A brominated polystyrene adsorbent (SEPABEADS SP207) and a zeolite adsorbent (HSZ-360HUD) removed hexanal most effectively, although 30-40% of the total hexanal remained. A model experiment showed that their hexanal adsorption capacity was much higher than the hexanal content in the SPI solution and that an excess amount of hexanal added to the SPI solution was mostly removed by them. These results suggest that hexanal in the SPI solution can be classified into two types. Hexanal of type I may be free or bound weakly on the surface of proteins and is removable by the adsorbents, whereas hexanal of type II may be bound tightly inside proteins and is unremovable by the adsorbents. Despite the considerable amount of hexanal remaining in the SPI solution even in the most successful cases, the SPI solution was well deodorized as shown by the sensory test. Accordingly, type I hexanal may be closely related to the soybean odor. Removal of hexanal by the adsorbents was not much improved by alpha-chymotryptic digestion of SPI. Type II hexanal might be in similar states even in the chymotryptic digests.     

Isolation and determination of anthocyanins in seed coats of black soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.).

Anthocyanin pigments in seed coats of black soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) were extracted with 1% HCl-CH(3)OH, and the crude anthocyanin extract was purified by Shepadex LH-20 and Lichroprep RP-18 open-column chromatography. Three major anthocyanins were isolated, and their chemical structures were identified by spectroscopic methods (UV-visible, FABMS, (1)H and (13)C NMR, and by TLC). The complete structures of these anthocyanins were elucidated as delphinidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-glucoside, and petunidin-3-glucoside. Among them, petunidin-3-glucoside was identified as a new anthocyanin in black soybeans. On the basis of RP-HPLC with a UV-vis detector, the contents of delphinidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-glucoside, petunidin-3-glucoside, and total anthocyanins in seed coats of 10 black soybeans were found in the ranges of 0-3.71, 0.94-15.98, 0-1.41, and 1.58-20.18 mg/g, respectively. The results obtained in this study imply that the seed coats of black soybean can be used as a good source for cyanidin-3-glucoside and delphinidin-3-glucoside.     

Stepwise extraction of proteins and carbohydrates from soybean seed

The stepwise hot water extraction of soybeans, which were extractions in a series of procedures of whole soybean seeds, dehulled and sliced ones, and pressed ones carried out by autoclaving, was investigated to study the localization in the seed and their characteristics. The characteristics of each extraction were studied by HPLC, SDS-PAGE, components analysis, microscopic observation, and effect for some enzymes. Carbohydrates were easier to extract than protein. In the extractions, the ratio of uronic acid per total sugar was constantly about 0.3. A comparison of these extracts, soybean milk, extraction from defatted soybean meal, and soybean milk residues was also carried out, and the characteristics and the localization were investigated. Mid-sized proteins in soybean milk were easy to extract. However, hardly any high molecular weight proteins or high molecular weight carbohydrates were extracted. The proteins and carbohydrates were considered to be localized in the middle lamella and in the protein and/or oil bodies of the cell, and the proteins and carbohydrates were gradually extracted through seed and cell breaking. Gelation was observed only in the boiled extracts from whole seeds. Pepsin and trypsin digests of the high molecular weight protein had inhibitory activity against the angiotensin I converting enzyme.

Enzymatic high digestion of soybean milk residue (okara)

The objective of this study was to digest okara in high yield by food-processing enzymes. Autoclaving of okara was effective in increasing cellulase digestion for the primary cell wall, and the digestion was accelerated by the formation of single cells by stirring. Most of the residual okara after autoclaving and cellulase digestion was found to be the secondary cell walls compared with the cellulase-treated soybean single cells. The secondary cell wall was found to be composed of galacturonic acid, neutral sugars, and protein and was considered to be a complex of these compositions. Many cellulolytic and proteolytic enzymes could not digest the secondary cell wall; however, it was found that two pectinases could digest the secondary cell wall. A series of digestions resulted in yields of 83-85% from the raw okara, and the final residues were identified as oil body complexes in the soybean cells and fiber-like organ between the cells.

大豆籽粒大小遗传调控研究现状

籽粒大小是大豆产量和外观品质的重要构成要素,具有巨大的经济价值,一直以来都是育种的主要目标之一。大豆籽粒大小由胚、胚乳和种皮发育共同协调决定。目前已报道的与大豆籽粒重相关的QTL位点309个,但大多位点尚未进行功能验证。已发现的与大豆籽粒大小相关的基因有17个,多数与母本种皮发育调控相关,其它与合子组织和植物激素调控途径相关。其中,发挥正向和负向调控作用的基因分别有12个和4个。在不影响大豆品质情况下,PP2C-1、Gm20OX和CYP78A等基因在植物个体发育过程中对籽粒大小的调节发挥关键作用,有望成为大豆分子设计育种中的优良靶点。本文重点从连锁分析和关联分析方法,介绍了已鉴定的与大豆籽粒大小相关的QTL及其位点,综述了大豆籽粒大小调控分子机制的研究进展,并根据现阶段的研究探讨了未来的研究热点和研究方向,以期为大豆籽粒分子调控机制全面解析和高产育种技术创新提供理论参考。

Effect of in vitro enzymatic digestion on antioxidant activity of coffee melanoidins and fractions

Traditionally antioxidant activity of melanoidins has only been evaluated in food for implication in shelf life but gastrointestinal digestion is necessary to study their potential bioactivity. In addition, the biological fate of melanoidins has been stressed during the past decade since they did not behave as inert substances. In the present paper a soluble coffee melanoidin isolated from brewed coffee after ultrafiltration with a 10 kDa cutoff membrane was treated ionically and enzymatically collecting the respective high and low molecular weight fractions. Antioxidant activity of these fractions was evaluated with five well-described assays (DPPH, ABTS, ORAC, HOSC, and FRAP) that were previously setup in a plate reader based automatized analysis. Low molecular weight compounds released from melanoidin after gastrointestinal digestion exerted the highest antioxidant activity, even higher than compounds bound ionically to melanoidins. Gastrointestinal digestion is able to modify coffee melanoidins to some extent, as hypothesized from their absolute antioxidant activities. Two options are plausible: by modifying/releasing the ionically bound compounds and/or by genesis of new more active structures from the melanoidin skeleton after enzymatic treatment.     

Simulated digestion of Vitis vinifera seed powder: polyphenolic content and antioxidant properties

There is increasing evidence that reactive oxygen species arising from several enzymatic reactions are mediators of inflammatory events. Plant preparations have the potential for scavenging such reactive oxygen species. Flavans and procyanidins are bioavailable and stable during the process of cooking. This study used conditions that mimicked digestion of Vitis vinifera seed powder in the stomach (acidic preparation) and small intestine (neutral preparation). The flavonoids of these two preparations were released during simulated digestion and were determined with HPLC analysis. Biochemical model reactions relevant for the formation of reactive oxygen species in vivo at inflammatory sites were used to determine the antioxidant properties of the two preparations. The inhibition of the indicator reaction for the formation of reactive oxygen species represents a potential mechanism of the physiological activity of the corresponding preparation. The results of this work show clearly that the polyphenols released during the simulated digestion of the two preparations have good scavenging potential against superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and singlet oxygen. They protect low-density lipoprotein against copper-induced oxidation due to the copper-chelating properties and their chain-breaking abilities in lipid peroxidation.     

大豆油体乳液稳定性和流变性分析

研究大豆油体乳液的基本物理化学性质,将为其工业应用提供参考。以水为介质提取大豆油体,方法无毒,利于食用。对其在不同pH值（pH值2～8）、NaCl浓度（0～250?mmol/L）和加热处理（30～90℃,30?min）条件下的Zeta电位、平均粒径和乳析稳定性进行测定,并对其流变性进行考察。大豆油体乳液的Zeta电位为+20?mV～-40?mV（pH值2～8）,等电点约为4.5。在pH值≤3和pH值≥6条件下,平均粒径均为0.4?μm左右;而在3＜pH＜6时,产生了乳析现象。在较高NaCl浓度下（＞25?mmol/L）,粒径较大和发生了乳析现象。大豆油体乳液在30～90℃加热处理时较稳定。大豆油体乳液呈现出弱凝胶的性质,其黏度随着油质量分数的降低而降低。研究表明,大豆油体乳液在一定的环境条件下是稳定的。     

Effect of manganese deficiency on seed yield of soybean cultivars

Manganese (Mn) deficiency is a problem in soybeans grown on high pH soils, which to date can only be controlled by chemical fertilizers. In view of the success of genetic resistance in reducing yield losses associated with iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis, a one year study was initiated to determine whether genetic resistance could be used to control Mn deficiency related yield losses. For this study, twenty soybean genotypes ranging from Group I maturity to Group III maturity were planted at five locations which had previously exhibited symptoms of Mn deficiency. Individual plots were rated for Mn‐deficiency symptoms on a 1–5 scale (1 = no yellowing to 5 = severe yellowing with some necrosis) at the Rl growth stage and plants in the center rows were harvested for yield. The mean Mn‐deficiency rating was 2.8 with a range from 1.8 for NKS 23–03 and P9181 to a 3.9 for A3205. The mean yield was 3059.3 kg/ha with a range from 3670.6 for A3205 to 2567.5 kg/ha for Chapman. The correlation between Mn‐deficiency rating and yield was not significant presumably due to the high yields of some of the later maturing cultivars.

Immunochemical studies on gastric and intestinal digestion of soybean glycinin and beta-conglycinin in vivo.

Two experiments were conducted to study gastric and small intestinal digestion of soybean glycinin and beta-conglycinin in preruminant calves fed milk replacers containing a mixture of skim milk powder and antigenic heated soybean flour. In experiment 1, duodenal passage of immunoreactive beta-conglycinin lasted for a much longer time after the morning meal than that of glycinin. Western blotting revealed the early abomasal outflow of glycinin subunits that associated nearly intact basic polypeptides to partially degraded acidic polypeptides. Intact beta-conglycinin was evidenced at most sampling times. In experiment 2, intact basic glycinin (M(r) = 21000) associated with partially digested acidic glycinin (7000 < M(r) < 25000) was demonstrated in ileal digesta up to 8-10 h after the meal. beta-Conglycinin immunoreactivity could not be evidenced by Western blotting in ileal digesta.

Isolation and characterization of endophytic bacteria from wild and cultivated soybean varieties

Endophytic bacteria were isolated from surface sterilized stems, root, and nodules of wild and cultivated soybean varieties. Various phenotypic traits that are expected to be involved in the persistence and functions of the bacteria were analyzed. Most of the isolates from soybean were motile and indoleacetic acid producers, and 70 and 33% of isolates excreted cellulase and pectinase, respectively. These traits may be involved in endophytic characteristics in soybean. Some isolates were resistant to Str₁₀₀, formed capsules, and produced fluorescent pigments. Molecular characterization of selected 35 endophytic bacteria by 16S rDNA–polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism showed two main clusters at 48 and 43% similarity coefficients in which most of the endophytes belonged. The genetic variation was more among endophytes isolated from Glycine max tissues than from G. soja.     

Effect of seed development stage on sphingolipid and phospholipid contents in soybean seeds

Glucosylceramide (GlcCer) and ceramide (Cer) are the predominant sphingolipids (SL) in soybeans. They have been recognized as functional components in plants and may have health benefits for humans. The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in SL and phospholipid (PL) contents that occurred during seed development. Soybean seeds of three cultivars (IA1008, IA1010, and IA1014) were harvested at 5-day intervals from 28 days after flowering (DAF) to 68 DAF (mature seed). SL and PL contents of seeds were quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). SL and PL contents decreased significantly during seed development. Averaged across cultivars, Cer content on a dry weight basis decreased from 51.4 nmol/g at 28 DAF to 22.2 nmol/g at 68 DAF, whereas GlcCer content decreased from 522.8 nmol/g at 28 DAF to 135.8 nmol/g at 68 DAF. PL percentage of the total lipid decreased from 9.1% at 28 DAF to 3.5% at 68 DAF.
