Antioxidant activities of black and yellow soybeans against low density lipoprotein oxidation

Several studies have demonstrated that the daily intakes of soy foods were associated with a reduced cardiovascular risk. The aim of our study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of black soybeans on low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in comparison to yellow soybeans. The extract from black soybean had a longer LDL oxidation lag time than that from yellow soybean (205 +/- 16 and 65 +/- 3 min, respectively). When both soybeans were divided into the seed coat and the mixture of the germ and cotyledon, the diluted extract solution from the black soybean seed coat prolonged the lag time significantly more than the original extract of the yellow soybean seed coat. On the other hand, antioxidant effects of the extract from the mixture of germs and cotyledons were similar in both soybeans. Regarding total polyphenol contents, the seed coat of black soybean had a higher polyphenol content than that of yellow soybean (29.0 +/- 0.56 and 0.45 +/- 0.02 mg/g, respectively). Interestingly, the mixture of the germ and cotyledon hydrolyzed by beta-glucosidase in both soybeans showed a stronger inhibitory effect on LDL oxidation than that before being hydrolyzed by beta-glucosidase. These results suggest that black soybeans may be more effective in inhibiting LDL oxidation than yellow soybeans because of total polyphenols contents in its seed coat. In addition, aglycones, which are rich in soybeans fermented or hydrolyzed by beta-glucosidase, may play a crucial role in the prevention of oxidation-related diseases.

Inhibitory effect of natto,a kind of fermented soybeans,on LDL oxidation in vitro

The oxygen radical scavenging activity of natto (fermented soybeans) and its inhibitory effect on the oxidation of rat plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in vitro were investigated to evaluate the usefulness of the antioxidant properties of natto, which has been shown to have antioxidant activity. Natto was separated into three water-soluble fractions: high-molecular-weight viscous substance (HMWVS; Mw > 100 000), low-molecular-weight viscous substance (LMWVS; Mw < 100 000), and soybean water extract (SWE). LMWVS had the strongest radical scavenging activity for hydroxyl and superoxide anion radicals, as assessed by electron spin resonance. The increase of conjugated dienes in LDL oxidized by copper and an azo pigment was depressed by the addition of LMWVS and SWE. These results demonstrate that natto fractions have inhibitory effects on LDL oxidation as a result of their radical scavenging activity.

Bioactive compounds in legumes and their germinated products

Nineteen domestic legume varieties, including 6 soybeans, 7 black soybeans, 4 azuki beans, and 2 mung beans, were evaluated for contents of dietary fiber, total phenolics, and flavonoids. Nine varieties of legumes (black soybean TN6, TN3, BM, and WY; soybean KS1, KS2, and KS8; azuki bean AKS5 and AKS6) were good sources of bioactive compounds and were selected for germination tests. After short- and long-term germinations, the bioactive compounds were determined and compared with compositions of isoflavones in soybeans. The reducing power of legumes correlated well with their total flavonoid contents (r (2) = 0.9414), whereas less correlation was found between reducing power and total phenolics contents (r (2) = 0.6885). The dark-coat seeds, such as azuki beans and black soybeans, contained high amounts of phenolic compounds and contributed to high antioxidative ability, whereas their phenolics content and antioxidative abilities significantly decreased after short-term germination due to losses of pigments in the seed coats. After long-term germination, the contents of bioactive compounds (total phenolics and flavonoids) increased again and the ratio of aglycones to total isoflavones significantly increased in black soybeans. TN3 and TN6 seeds and their long-term germinated seeds and AKS5 seeds were identified as the legume samples that might have the highest antioxidant ability according to the results of chemometric analysis. Selection of the right legume varieties combined with a suitable germination process could provide good sources of bioactive compounds from legumes and their germinated products for neutraceutical applications.     

Solid‐State Bioprocessing with Cordyceps militaris Enhanced Antioxidant Activity and DNA Damage Protection of Red Beans (Phaseolus angularis)

In this study, red beans were bioprocessed by using a novel solid‐state fermentation (SSF) with an edible and medical filamentous fungus Cordyceps militaris . The effect of SSF on the total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity, and DNA damage protection of red beans was determined. Furthermore, solvents with different polarities (80% methanol, 80% ethanol, 80% acetone, and deionized water) were used to extract antioxidant compounds from the red bean samples. The results indicated that SSF significantly enhanced TPC, 2,2‐azinobis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) diammonium salt radical cation scavenging activity, reducing power, and chelating ability of red beans. Furthermore, this study also demonstrated that fermented red beans exhibited greater protection against oxidative DNA damage than nonfermented red beans. Besides, the water extract of fermented red beans showed the highest TPC, antioxidant activity, and DNA damage protection among the various extracts examined. For the specific phenolics profile, HPLC analysis was performed, which showed that gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, p‐hydroxybenzoic acid, syringic acid, ferulic acid, daidzein, quercetin, and genistein of red beans were increased during SSF. There was a positive correlation among phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, and DNA damage protection. Thus, this study demonstrated that SSF with C. militaris is an effective method for the enhancement of phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, and DNA damage protection of red beans.     

Contribution of Sourdough Lactobacilli,Yeast, and Cereal Enzymes to the Generation of Amino Acids in Dough Relevant for Bread Flavor

The amino acid release was determined in wheat doughs supplied with salt, acid, dithiothreitol, or starter cultures to evaluate the relevance of the amino acid concentration on bread flavor. Wheat flour proteinases almost linearly released amino acids and the highest activity of wheat flour proteinases was found in acidified and reduced doughs. The effects of starter cultures on amino acid concentrations depended on their composition. Yeasts exhibited a high demand for amino acids, however, the total amino acid concentrations were not markedly affected by lactic acid bacteria. The individual amino acid contents were determined by the pH during fermentation and microbial metabolism. The formation of proline was favored by values higher than pH 5.5, whereas release of phenylalanine, leucine and cysteine mainly occurred at lower pH. Ornithine was found only in doughs fermented with Lactobacillus pontis. To determine effects of the amino acid concentration on bread aroma, fermented doughs were evaluated in baking experiments. An increased intensity of bread flavor was obtained by preferments prepared with lactic acid bacteria. The roasty note of wheat bread crust could be markedly enhanced by L. pontis. This results support the assumption that flavor of wheat bread is enhanced by increasing the concentration of free amino acids and especially ornithine in dough.     

In vitro inhibitory effect on pancreatic lipase activity of subfractions from ethanol extracts of fermented Oats (Avena sativa L.) and synergistic effect of three phenolic acids

The purpose of the present work is to study the pancreatic lipase inhibitory effects of different subfractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate (EA), n-butanol, and water) from ethanol extracts of nonfermented and fungi-fermented oats and to delineate the interactions of three primary phenolic acids in the EA subfractions. The EA subfraction showed the highest inhibitory effect on pancreatic lipase activity at 1.5 mg/mL compared to the other subfractions, regardless of whether the oats were fermented. Meanwhile, both of the EA subfractions of two fungi-fermented oats demonstrated more effective inhibitory activity than that of nonfermented oats. A positive correlation between the total phenolics content and inhibitory activity was found. The inhibitory ability of the EA subfraction from nonfermented or fermented oats also displayed a dose-dependent effect. The standards of caffeic, ferulic, and p-coumaric acids, mainly included in EA subfractions of fermented oats, also displayed a dose-dependent inhibitory effect. A synergistic effect of each binary combination of p-coumaric, ferulic, and caffeic acids was observed, especially at 150.0 μg/mL. Those results indicate that fungi-fermented oats have a more effective inhibitory ability on pancreatic lipase and polyphenols may be the most effective component and could be potentially used for dietary therapy of obesity.     

Antioxidant capacity of seed coat, dehulled bean, and whole black soybeans in relation to their distributions of total phenolics, phenolic acids, anthocyanins, and isoflavones

Black soybeans have been used as an excellent dietary source for disease prevention and health promotion in China for hundreds of years. However, information about the distribution of health-promoting phenolic compositions in different physical parts of black soybean and the contribution of phenolic compositions to overall antioxidant capacity is limited. To elucidate the distribution of phenolic composition and their contribution to antioxidant activities in black soybean, the total and individual phenolic profiles, and antioxidant capacities of seed coat, dehulled and whole black soybean were systematically investigated. The seed coat exhibited much higher total phenolic indexes and antioxidant activities than whole and dehulled black soybean. Dehulled black soybean possessed similar levels of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, 2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) activities as compared to whole yellow soybean. Cyanidin-3-glucoside, petunidin-3-glucoside, and peonidin-3-glucoside were detected in the seed coat but not in dehulled black soybean and yellow soybean. Among benzoic acid detected, caffeic and chlorogenic acid were the predominant phenolic acids. Whole black soybean and dehulled black soybean exhibited similar isoflavone contents in 7- O-beta-glucosides and malonylglucosides of daidzein and genistein. The seed coat possessed significantly ( p < 0.05) lower 7- O-beta-glucosides and malonylglucosides of daidzein and genistein, acetylglycitin, and total isoflavones than whole and dehulled black soybean. The contribution of phenolics in the seed coat to the antioxidant activity of black soybean parts depends on the assay methods. When measured with the DPPH and FRAP methods, the seed coat contributed 90% of the total antioxidant capacity of black soybean. However, when measured with the ORAC method, the seed coat and dehulled portion contributed approximately equally the total antioxidant capacity of black soybeans. The information generated from this study on the distribution and content of their active components is useful for the effective use of black soybeans as an ingredient for promoting health.     

Total phenolics, phenolic acids, isoflavones, and anthocyanins and antioxidant properties of yellow and black soybeans as affected by thermal processing

The effects of boiling and steaming processes on the phenolic components and antioxidant activities of whole yellow (with yellow seed coat and yellow cotyledon) and black (with black seed coat and green cotyledon) soybeans were investigated. As compared to the raw soybeans, all processing methods caused significant (p < 0.05) decreases in total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), condensed tannin content (CTC), monomeric anthocyanin content (MAC), DPPH free radical scavenging activity (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and oxygen radical absorbing capacity (ORAC) in black soybeans. Pressure steaming caused significant (p < 0.05) increases in TPC, CTC, DPPH, FRAP, and ORAC in yellow soybeans. The steaming resulted in a greater retention of TPC, DPPH, FRAP, and ORAC values in both yellow and black soybeans as compared to the boiling treatments. To further investigate the effect of processing on phenolic compounds and elucidate the contribution of these compounds to changes of antioxidant activities, phenolic acids, isoflavones, and anthocyanins were quantitatively determined by HPLC. The pressure steaming treatments caused significant (p < 0.05) increases in gallic acid and 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzoic acid, whereas all treatments caused significant (p < 0.05) decreases in two predominant phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid and trans-cinnamic acid), and total phenolic acids for both yellow and black soybeans. All thermal processing caused significant (p < 0.05) increases in aglucones and beta-glucosides of isoflavones, but caused significant (p < 0.05) decreases in malonylglucosides of isoflavones for both yellow and black soybeans. All thermal processing caused significant (p < 0.05) decreases of cyanidin-3-glucoside and peonidin-3-glucoside in black soybeans. Significant correlations existed between selected phenolic compositions, isoflavone and anthocyanin contents, and antioxidant properties of cooked soybeans.

为研究清酒乳杆菌固态发酵鳓鱼过程中品质的变化,以促进传统发酵水产品标准化生产中品质控制水平的提高,本研究综合测定了鳓鱼发酵过程中的理化、色度和质构等常规指标,采用电子舌技术对滋味特性进行分析,对感官品质进行了人工评价,并对各指标之间的相关性进行了分析。结果表明,在鳓鱼发酵过程中,pH值先下降后上升,最小值为4.88,水分含量减少,总酸度先升高后下降,最大值为13.4 g·kg-1,氨基酸态氮(ANN)、挥发性盐基氮(TVB-N)含量增加;内聚性、硬度和咀嚼性均先上升后下降,第9天达到最大值,分别为0.6、437.4 g和217.8 g,弹性和回复性持续下降;鳓鱼色泽变化显著(P0.01),L*值先升高后下降,a*值先下降后上升,b*值持续上升,逐渐呈现黄亮的发酵色泽。基于电子舌技术的滋味特性分析表明,发酵过程中主要形成酸味、苦味、甜味和复合滋味等,而鲜味和咸味的成分较少,且构建的主成分分析模型可明显区分不同发酵时间的样本。对感官品质的人工综合评价在第9天达到最大值(72.8)。综上所述,清酒乳杆菌固态发酵过程中,发酵鳓鱼的理化、质构、色度和滋味品质存在一定关联性,各指标在发酵中期达到最佳,发酵周期以9 d为宜,这为发酵水产品加工提供了一定的理论依据。     

Fermentation as a bio-process to obtain functional soybean flours

The effect of fermentation on the antioxidant compounds [vitamins C and E, total phenolic compounds (TPC), and reduced glutathione (GSH)], and antioxidant capacity [superoxide anion scavenging activity (SOD-like activity), peroxyl radical-trapping capacity (PRTC), inhibition of phosphatidylcholine (PC) peroxidation, and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC)] of soybean (Glycine max cv. Merit) was studied. Fermentation was carried out in solid state in cracked seeds inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae, Rhizopus oryzae, Bacillus subtilis, and Lactobacillus plantarum and in liquid state either in cracked seeds or milled soybean flours fermented naturally by only the microorganisms present in the seeds or by inoculation with L. plantarum. Vitamin C was not detected in the studied samples. Fermentation caused a decrease in vitamin E activity, except when cracked seed was fermented with A. oryzae, R. oryzae, or B. subtilis that increased 31, 30, and 89%, respectively. Fermentation produced an increase in TPC content and did not affect or reduce the GSH content. Fermentation decreased SOD-like activity drastically, while PRTC increased except when it was carried out naturally in cracked seed. TEAC values rose sharply when soybeans were fermented with B. subtilis. Processed soybean extracts inhibited PC peroxidation in comparison with the control assay. On the basis of the results obtained, the relative contributions of vitamin E, TPC, and GSH to antioxidant capacity were calculated and results showed a very high TPC contribution and a low contribution of GSH and vitamin E activity. Optimum results for functional soybean flours were achieved when fermentation was carried out with B. subtilis inoculum.     

Impact of isolation method on the antioxidant activity of rapeseed meal phenolics

Rapeseed meal is the byproduct of the rapeseed deoiling process. Among oilseed plants, rapeseed contains the greatest amount of phenolic compounds. In this study, the rapeseed phenolics were isolated with aqueous methanol, aqueous ethanol, hot water, and enzymatically with ferulic acid esterase. These isolates were tested for radical scavenging and for liposome and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) model systems. The radical scavenging activities of all isolates were >60% at a concentration of 1.5 mg/mL. In the liposome model system the formation of hexanal was inhibited by all rapeseed meal isolates by >90% and the formation of conjugated diene hydroperoxides by >80% (8.4 microg/mL concentration). All rapeseed meal isolates also inhibited oxidation of LDL particles by >90% inhibition (4.2 microg/mL concentration). Isolation of rapeseed meal phenolics with either water or enzyme is a very suitable method devoid of organic solvents. Thus, rapeseed meal phenolics constitute an interesting source for food and cosmetic applications with antioxidant effect.

Isoflavone transformation during soybean koji preparation and subsequent miso fermentation supplemented with ethanol and NaCl

Soybeans were soaked with water for 4 h, steam-cooked, inoculated with the conidia of Aspergillus oryzae, and incubated for 3 days for koji preparation. The koji was then mixed with water-soaked and steam-cooked soybeans (1:2, w/w), ground into paste, and supplemented with 15% ethanol and 12.5% NaCl or 3% ethanol and 6% NaCl for miso fermentation at 30 degrees C. Daidzin, genistin, daidzein, and genistein contents were extracted from the lyophilized and pulverized soybean powder or from the miso homogenate by a developed one-tube procedure and analyzed with an HPLC. After water soaking, daidzein and genistein contents increased markedly, whereas daidzin and genistin contents decreased. Further increases of daidzein and genistein contents and decreases of daidzin and genistin contents were observed after koji mold growth. During fermentation, fungal and lactic acid bacterial (LAB) growth in the miso products was inhibited, whereas soluble protein contents increased much more rapidly in the low-salt miso products supplemented with 3% ethanol and 6% NaCl than the other products. When the 4- and 8-week-fermented miso products were cooked with tofu for sensory evaluation, flavor ratings of the low-salt products were higher than that of a popular commercial product. In both products, the most daidzins and genistins were hydrolyzed after 4 weeks of fermentation. The hydrolytic enzymes contributing to isoflavone transformation originated from soybeans after water soaking and from koji with mold growth. It was of merit that the low-salt fermented products were fairly acceptable in flavor rating and rich in daidzein and genistein contents after 4 weeks of fermentation.     

施氮量对烟株接种黑胫病前、后体内生理物质及黑胫病发生的影响

以红花大金元烤烟品种为材料,采用盆栽接种法研究了供氮水平（分别为N 71、142、213和284 mg /kg）对烟株感染黑胫病前、后体内多酚氧化酶(PPO)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性和总酚、类黄酮、可溶性糖、游离氨基酸、总氮等生理物质含量及黑胫病发病情况的影响。结果表明: 1）烟株接种后5和15d时体内多酚氧化酶(PPO)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性以及总酚、类黄酮、可溶性糖、游离氨基酸、总氮等生理物质含量均有高于同期未接种烟株的趋势,且不同供氮水平下趋势一致。2）接种当天及接种后5、15d,接种和未接种烟株体内总氮和游离氨基酸的含量均以高氮处理大于低氮处理,而CAT活性和总酚、类黄酮、可溶性糖含量则相反;高氮和低氮处理间差异显著;而PPO活性则以施N 142和213 mg/kg 处理显著高于施N 71和284 mg/kg处理。3）高施氮量下,烟株接种黑胫病后的发病率和病情指数呈现出较高的现象。上述表明,氮营养不仅影响着烟株初期（即接种病原前）的抗性,而且影响着诱发抗性（即接种病原后诱发的抗性）的强弱;这在一定程度上导致了不同施氮量烟株黑胫病病害发生的差异。说明调控施氮量可以有助于增强烟株抗性,减少黑胫病的发生。     

Inhibition of protein and lipid oxidation in liposomes by berry phenolics

The antioxidant activity of berry phenolics (at concentrations of 1.4, 4.2, and 8.4 mug of purified extracts/mL of liposome sample) such as anthocyanins, ellagitannins, and proanthocyanidins from raspberry (Rubus idaeus), bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), and black currant (Ribes nigrum) was investigated in a lactalbumin-liposome system. The extent of protein oxidation was measured by determining the loss of tryptophan fluorescence and formation of protein carbonyl compounds and that of lipid oxidation by conjugated diene hydroperoxides and hexanal analyses. The antioxidant protection toward lipid oxidation was best provided by lingonberry and bilberry phenolics followed by black currant and raspberry phenolics. Bilberry and raspberry phenolics exhibited the best overall antioxidant activity toward protein oxidation. Proanthocyanidins, especially the dimeric and trimeric forms, in lingonberries were among the most active phenolic constituents toward both lipid and protein oxidation. In bilberries and black currants, anthocyanins contributed the most to the antioxidant effect by inhibiting the formation of both hexanal and protein carbonyls. In raspberries, ellagitannins were responsible for the antioxidant activity. While the antioxidant effect of berry proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins was dose-dependent, ellagitannins appeared to be equally active at all concentrations. In conclusion, berries are rich in monomeric and polymeric phenolic compounds providing protection toward both lipid and protein oxidation.
