The possible adverse effects on health of diet-derived advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and advanced lipoxidation endproducts (ALEs) is of current interest. This study had the objective of determining the effects of the addition of AGE/ALE inhibitors and different types of sugar and cooking oil on Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and Nε-(carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL) formation in model foods (sponge cakes). The cake baked using glucose produced the highest level of CML (2.07±0.24 mmol/mol lysine), whereas the cake baked using fructose produced the highest concentration of CEL (25.1±0.15 mmol/mol lysine). There were no significant differences between CML concentrations formed in the cakes prepared using different types of cooking oil, but significant differences (P<0.001) were observed between the cakes prepared using different proportions of cooking oil. The cakes containing oil generated greater concentrations of CML than sucrose. α-Tocopherol and rutin did not inhibit CML and CEL formation. In contrast, ferulic acid and thiamin, thiamin monophosphate, and thiamin pyrophosphate reduced CML and CEL formation. 相似文献

ε-Polylysine (ε-PL) is a food-grade cationic antimicrobial that is highly effective against a range of food pathogens and spoilage organisms. In compositionally complex environments, like those found in most foods and beverages, the antimicrobial activity of cationic ε-PL is likely to be impacted by its interactions with anionic components. The purpose of this study was to characterize the interactions between cationic ε-polylysine and an anionic biopolymer (high methoxyl pectin, HMP) using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), microelectrophoresis (ME), and turbidity measurements. ITC and ME measurements indicated that ε-PL bound to pectin, while turbidity measurements indicated that the complexes formed could be either soluble or insoluble depending on solution composition. Ionic strength and pH were also shown to affect the interactions significantly, highlighting their electrostatic origin. This study demonstrates that ε-PL can form either soluble or insoluble complexes with anionic biopolymers depending on the composition of the system. Our study provides basic knowledge that will facilitate the more rational application of ε-PL in complex food systems. 相似文献

(E)-β-farnesene is a strong and efficient alarm pheromone in most aphid species. However, applications in agriculture are prevented by its relatively high volatility, its susceptibility to oxidation and its complex and expensive synthesis. To develop novel compounds for aphid control, we have designed and synthesized analogues of (E)-β-farnesene, containing a pyrazole moiety present in several insecticides. Their structures have been confirmed by 1H NMR, elemental analysis, high-resolution mass spectroscopy and IR. Binding activities to three odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) of the pea aphid Acythosiphon pisum have been evaluated and correlated with their structures with reference to (E)-β-farnesene. Several derivatives were shown both to bind to A. pisum OBPs with a specificity similar to that of (E)-β-farnesene and to have aphicidal activity comparable to that of thiacloprid, a commercial insecticide. The compounds synthesized in this work represent new potential agents for aphid population control and provide guidelines to design analogues of (E)-β-farnesene endowed with both insecticidal and repellent activity for aphids. 相似文献

Production, purification, and characterization of a novel β-1,3-1,4-glucanase (lichenase) from thermophilic Rhizomucor miehei CAU432 were investigated. High-level extracellular β-1,3-1,4-glucanase production of 6230 U/mL was obtained when oat flour (3%, w/v) was used as a carbon source at 50 °C. The crude enzyme was purified to homogeneity with a specific activity of 28818 U/mg. The molecular weight of purified enzyme was estimated to be 35.4 kDa and 33.7 kDa by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration, respectively. The optimal pH and temperature of the enzyme were pH 5.5 and 60 °C, respectively. The K(m) values of purified β-1,3-1,4-glucanase for barley β-glucan and lichenan were 2.0 mM and 1.4 mM, respectively. Furthermore, the gene (RmLic16A) encoding the β-1,3-1,4-glucanase was cloned and its deduced amino acid sequence showed the highest identity (50%) to characterized β-1,3-1,4-glucanase from Paecilomyces thermophila. The high-level production and biochemical properties of the enzyme enable its potential industrial applications. 相似文献

Experimental (N979-5-2-4 and IA95111) and traditional oat lines (Jim and Paul) with average %β-glucan of 7.5, 7.8, 4.9, and 4.4%, respectively, were grown in 2002, 2003, and 2004. Molecular weight (MW) distributions of the β-glucans were examined for potential variations among growing years and for relationships with pasting properties measured by Rapid ViscoAnalyser under three separate conditions: 1) in silver nitrate (SN) solution to inactivate enzymes; 2) hydrolyzed by α-amylase to eliminate the effect of starch; and 3) treated with lichenase to remove β-glucan. The β-glucan was extracted by a process involving multiple precipitation and dialysis steps, and the MW distributions were determined by HPLC. %β-Glucan in N979-5-2-4 and IA95111 lines were consistently and significantly greater (P < 0.05) than in Jim and Paul lines during three growing years. The contribution of β-glucan to peak viscosity on the RVA was substantially greater than that of the starch for all three years. The molecular number average and peak MW of β-glucan from N979-5-2-4 and IA95111 were greater than these values for Jim and Paul, and values were consistent among years. The MW of extracted β-glucan was associated with pasting properties after amylase hydrolysis, but not after treatment with lichenase or in SN solution. 相似文献
