The composition of melanoidins formed in the reactions of either glucose or maltose with glycine (70 degrees C, pH 5.5, [glucose] = [maltose] = [glycine] = 0.25 M) (MW > 3500) was investigated by microanalysis and the use of (14)C-labeled sugars and amino acid. The most reliable parameter obtained from microanalysis data is the C/N value, as it was calculated with no model assumption. The C/N value (7.6 +/- 0.2 for glucose and 10.5 +/- 0.2 for maltose) does not change with molecular weight (MW > 3500) as the polymers grow in size. A comparison between the radiochemically determined composition and that obtained from microanalysis suggests that the amino ketone, which is one of the products of Strecker degradation reaction, forms part of the of the melanoidin structure, together with the sugar-derived moiety and the Strecker aldehyde. Evidence is presented that glucose is formed at intermediate stages of the maltose-glycine reaction. The melanoidins are the result of the polymerization of glucose and intact, or substantially intact, maltose residues with glycine. 相似文献

Different types of model melanoidins were thermally degraded, with subsequent identification of the volatiles produced, to obtain and compare the thermal degradation profile of various melanoidins. At first, the volatiles produced from heated glucose/glycine standard melanoidins were compared with glucose/glutamic acid and L-(+)-ascorbic acid/glycine standard melanoidins. In the headspace of heated glucose/glycine melanoidins, mainly furans, were detected, accompanied by carbonyl compounds, pyrroles, pyrazines, pyridines, and some oxazoles. Heating of L-(+)-ascorbic acid/glycine melanoidins resulted in relatively more N-heterocycles, while from glucose/glutamic acid melanoidins no N-heterocycles were formed. In a second part, a chemical treatment was applied to glucose/glycine melanoidins prior to the thermal degradation. Acid hydrolysis was performed to cleave glycosidically linked sugar moieties from the melanoidin skeleton. Nonsoluble glucose/glycine melanoidins were also subjected to an oxidation. The results indicate that the thermal degradation profile is a useful tool in the characterization of different types of melanoidins. 相似文献

Model melanoidins from monomeric, oligomeric, and polymeric carbohydrates, and amino acids formed under aqueous as well as water-free reaction conditions, were submitted to acidic catalyzed hydrolysis. Their degradation products were detected qualitatively and quantitatively by HPTLC and HPLC-DAD. A considerable amount of monomer carbohydrates from hydrolysis of model melanoidins formed under water-free reaction conditions was detected. It can be seen clearly that the amount of carbohydrates released increased with increasing degree of polymerization of the carbohydrates used as starting material. In comparison, the hydrolysis of melanoidins formed in aqueous condition resulted in only a small glucose release. It seems that in the Maillard reaction under water-free conditions, a significant amount of di- and oligomer carbohydrates were incorporated into the melanoidin skeleton as complete oligomer with intact glycosidic bond, forming side chains at the melanoidin skeleton. Additional side chains could be formed by transglycosylation reactions. With increasing water content, hydrothermolytic as well as retro-aldol reactions of the starting carbonyl components became significant, and therefore the possibility of forming side chains decreased. The results are consistent with the postulated melanoidin structure being built up mainly from sugar degradation products, probably branched via amino compounds. 相似文献

Analysis of low molecular weight (LMw) coffee brew melanoidins is challenging due to the presence of many non-melanoidin components that complicate analysis. This study focused on the isolation of LMw coffee brew melanoidins by separation of melanoidins from non-melanoidin components that are present in LMw coffee brew material. LMw coffee fractions differing in polarity were obtained by reversed-phase solid phase extraction and their melanoidin, sugar, nitrogen, caffeine, trigonelline, 5-caffeoylquinic acid, quinic acid, caffeic acid, and phenolic groups contents were determined. The sugar composition, the charge properties, and the absorbance at various wavelengths were investigated as well. The majority of the LMw melanoidins were found to have an apolar character, whereas most non-melanoidins have a polar character. The three isolated melanoidin-rich fractions represented 56% of the LMw coffee melanoidins and were free from non-melanoidin components. Spectroscopic analysis revealed that the melanoidins isolated showed similar features as high molecular weight coffee melanoidins. All three melanoidin fractions contained approximately 3% nitrogen, indicating the presence of incorporated amino acids or proteins. Surprisingly, glucose was the main sugar present in these melanoidins, and it was reasoned that sucrose is the most likely source for this glucose within the melanoidin structure. It was also found that LMw melanoidins exposed a negative charge, and this negative charge was inversely proportional to the apolar character of the melanoidins. Phenolic group levels as high as 47% were found, which could be explained by the incorporation of chlorogenic acids in these melanoidins. 相似文献

To study the mechanism of coffee melanoidin formation, green coffee beans were prepared by (1) removal of the hot water extractable components (WECoffee); (2) direct incorporation of sucrose (SucCoffee); and (3) direct incorporation of type II arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPCoffee). As a control of sucrose and AGP incorporation, lyophilized green coffee beans were also immersed in water (control). The original coffee and the four modified "in bean" coffee models were roasted and their chemical characteristics compared. The formation of material not identified as carbohydrates or protein, usually referred to as "unknown material" and related to melanoidins, and the development of the brown color during coffee roasting have distinct origins. Therefore, a new parameter for coffee melanoidin evaluation, named the "melanoidin browning index" (MBI), was introduced to handle simultaneously the two concepts. Sucrose is important for the formation of colored structures but not to the formation of "unknown material". Type II AGPs also increase the brown color of the melanoidins, but did not increase the amount of "unknown material". The green coffee hot water extractable components are essential for coffee melanoidin formation during roasting. The cell wall material was able to generate a large amount of "unknown material". The galactomannans modified by the roasting and the melanoidin populations enriched in galactomannans accounted for 47% of the high molecular weight brown color material, showing that these polysaccharides are very relevant for coffee melanoidin formation. 相似文献

We followed the contribution of released glucose to the formation of melanoidins in the maltose-glycine reaction by adding (14)C glucose to the maltose-glycine mixture, after it already had undergone some reaction. This approach allowed us to confirm the turnover of glucose in this reaction and hence the role of glucose in forming melanoidins. A comparison of the total amount of glucose converted into the melanoidins with the total concentration of melanoidins formed from maltose and glycine showed that the concentration of melanoidins originating from the released glucose was relatively small in comparison to the total melanoidins concentration. Hence, the parallel glucose-glycine reaction is considered to be only a minor pathway in the formation of maltose-glycine melanoidins. The incorporation of glucose into the nondialyzable melanoidins in the maltose-glycine reaction was in excellent agreement with the amount estimated from a kinetic model for the reaction of maltose with glycine. The rate constants were estimated by nonlinear regression, via multiresponse modeling. 相似文献

Antioxidant activity of instant coffees produced from the same green coffee beans roasted at three different degrees was analyzed. Coffee melanoidins were obtained by ultrafiltration (10 kDa cutoff) and subsequent diafiltration. Pure melanoidins were isolated from melanoidins after overnight incubation in 2 M NaCl and then ultrafiltered. Filtrates, corresponding to the low molecular weight (LMW) fraction noncovalently linked to the melanoidin skeleton, were also preserved. Antioxidant activity of coffee brews (CB), melanoidins (M), pure melanoidins (PM), and bounded melanoidin compounds (BMC) were tested using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and ferric reducing power (FRAP) methods. The correlation between the different methods was studied. The higher contribution of melanoidins to the total antioxidant activity of coffees was shown to be caused by the LMW compounds linked noncovalently to the melanoidin skeleton, as data from BMC confirmed. CB, M, and BMC fractions exert the highest antioxidant activity in aqueous media, whereas PM was not dependent on the reaction media. The highest correlation was found between DPPH and FRAP methods. 相似文献

Unraveling the contribution of melanoidins to the antioxidant activity of coffee brews 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Instant coffees produced from the same green coffee beans were supplied from a company in different roasting degrees, light, medium, and dark. Melanoidins were obtained by ultrafiltration (10 kDa) and subsequent diafiltration. Pure melanoidins were isolated from melanoidins after overnight incubation in 2 M NaCl. The antioxidant activities of instant coffees, melanoidins, and pure melanoidins were tested using the conjugated diene formation from a 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride-induced linoleic acid oxidation in an aqueous system. No significant differences were found between melanoidins and pure melanoidins with different roasting degrees. Therefore, the contribution of the pure melanoidin fraction to the total antioxidant activity of melanoidins was significantly lower. More than 50% of the antioxidant activity of melanoidins is due to low molecular weight compounds linked non-covalently to the melanoidin skeleton. A new concept of the overall antioxidant properties of food melanoidins is described, where chelating ability toward low molecular weight antioxidant compounds is connected to the stabilization of these compounds involved in the shelf life of the product. 相似文献

The composition of high molecular weight (HMw) coffee melanoidin populations, obtained after ethanol precipitation, was studied. The specific extinction coefficient (K(mix)) at 280, 325, 405 nm, sugar composition, phenolic group content, nitrogen content, amino acid composition, and non-protein nitrogen (NPN) content were investigated. Results show that most HMw coffee melanoidins are soluble at high ethanol concentrations. The amino acid composition of the HMw fractions was similar, while 17% (w/w) of the nitrogen was NPN, probably originating from degraded amino acids/proteins and now part of melanoidins. A strong correlation between the melanoidin content, the NPN, and protein content was found. It was concluded that proteins are incorporated into the melanoidins and that the degree of chemical modification, for example, by phenolic groups, determines the solubility of melanoidins in ethanol. Although the existence of covalent interaction between melanoidins and polysaccharides were not proven in this study, the findings suggest that especially arabinogalactan is likely involved in melanoidin formation. Finally, phenolic groups were present in the HMw fraction of coffee, and a correlation was found with the melanoidin concentration. 相似文献

Mechanisms of how epicatechin alters the pathways of the Maillard reaction were investigated. Carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 labeling studies were utilized to define the reactivity of epicatechin with glucose, glycine, and/or reaction products in an aqueous model (pH 7, 125 degrees C for 30 min) via GC, GC/MS and HPLC/MS analysis. Quantification of the volatile reaction product isotopomers by GC/MS from a 1:1 labeled to unlabeled glucose (carbohydrate module labeling technique) plus glycine model system indicated the formation of 2,3-butanedione and acetol were primarily formed via intact C4 and C3 sugar fragments, whereas pyrazine, methylpyrazine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine, and cyclotene were primarily formed via intact C2/C2, C2/C3, C3/C3, C3/C3, and C3/C3 sugar fragment pairs, respectively. The formation of these seven compounds was also reported by GC analysis to be dramatically inhibited when epicatechin was added to the glucose/glycine model system (observed 9-113-fold reduction). HPLC/MS analysis of both the glucose-labeled and glycine-labeled model systems with and without epicatechin indicated that epicatechin reacted directly with C2, C3, and C4 sugar fragments, while epicatechin did not report any direct reactivity with glycine. In conclusion, the quenching of sugar fragmentation products via epicatechin was correlated with the observed inhibition on volatile compound formation when epicatechin was added to a glucose/glycine aqueous reaction model system. 相似文献

Melanoidins formed at the last stage of the Maillard reaction have been pointed out to possess certain functional properties. Potential antihypertensive activity of food melanoidins (coffee, beer, and sweet-wine) has been evaluated according to in-vitro ACE-inhibitory activity. Precision of the assay (3.2% of coefficient of variation, n = 10) for melanoidins is similar to those reported of well-known antihypertensive peptides. Assay was applied on food melanoidins obtained from coffee (three roasting degrees), beer, and sweet-wine. All samples showed in-vitro ACE-inhibitory activity. The activity in coffee melanoidins was significantly higher at more severe heating conditions. These experiments demonstrate that food melanoidins could inhibit ACE activity. In-vitro ACE-inhibitory activity of coffee melanoidins is likely located within the melanoidin structure. But ACE-inhibitory activity is also partly due to the low-molecular-weight compound nonchemically bound to the melanoidin structure, then melanoidins can act as carrier-protecting agents. These compounds could be naturally phenolic compounds present in the green beans or intermediary Maillard reaction products with antihypertensive activity. 相似文献

The effect of the roasting degree on coffee brew melanoidin properties and formation mechanisms was studied. Coffee brew fractions differing in molecular weight (Mw) were isolated from green and light-, medium-, and dark-roasted coffee beans. Isolated fractions were characterized for their melanoidin, nitrogen, protein, phenolic groups, chlorogenic acid, quinic acid, caffeic acid, and sugar content. It was found that the melanoidin level in all fractions correlated with both the nitrogen and the protein content. The melanoidin level also correlated with the phenolic groups' level and ester-linked quinic acid level. It was concluded that proteins and chlorogenic acids should be primarily involved in melanoidin formation. Initial roasting, from green to light-roasted beans, especially led to the formation of intermediate Mw (IMw) melanoidins when compared to high Mw (HMw) melanoidins. Indications were found that this IMw melanoidin formation is mainly due to Maillard reactions and chlorogenic acid incorporation reactions between chlorogenic acids, sucrose, and amino acids/protein fragments. Additionally, it was found that prolonged roasting predominantly led to formation melanoidins with a high Mw. Furthermore, arabinogalactans seem to be relatively more involved in melanoidin formation than galactomannans. It was hypothesized that chromophores may be formed or attached through the arabinose moiety of arabinogalactan proteins (AGP). Finally, it could be concluded that galactomannans are continuously incorporated in AGP-melanoidins upon roasting. 相似文献

Melanoidins are the final, brown, high molecular weight products of the Maillard reaction. The aim of the present study was to determine the average molar extinction coefficients of melanoidins formed in heated glucose-casein and fructose-casein systems. The value of the extinction coefficient can be used to translate spectrophotometrically measured browning (absorbance values) into melanoidin concentration. In the present study the melanoidins were quantified by measuring the concentration of sugar incorporated into the melanoidins, using (14)C-labeled sugar. The extinction coefficient of the melanoidins remained constant during the observation period as the absorbance at 420 nm increased to approximately 8 units, and it was calculated to be 477 (+/- 50) L mol(-1) cm(-1) in the glucose-casein reaction and 527 (+/- 35) L mol(-1) cm(-1) in the fructose-casein reaction. This difference is not significant. An increase of the number of sugar molecules per reactive amino group during the heating of glucose-casein and the fructose-casein mixtures was observed by the radiochemical method as well as by microanalysis of the high molecular weight fraction. 相似文献

The chemical reactivity of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furaldehyde (HMF) with lysine, glycine, and proline was studied using isotope labeling technique. To confirm the formation of HMF adducts in glucose amino acid model systems, a useful strategy was developed in which products simultaneously possessing six glucose (HMF moiety) and any number of amino acid carbon atoms in addition to nitrogen were targeted using specifically labeled precursors such as [(15)N(α)]lysine·2HCl, [(15)N(ε)]lysine·2HCl, [U-(13)C(6)]lysine·2HCl, [(13)C(6)]lysine·2HCl, and [U-(13)C(6)]glucose in the case of lysine model system. In addition, model systems containing HMF and amino acids were also studied to confirm specific adduct formation. Complete labeling studies along with structural analysis using appropriate synthetic precursors such as HMF Schiff base adducts of piperidine and glycine have indicated that HMF generated in the glucose/amino acid model systems initially forms a Schiff base adduct that can undergo decarboxylation through an oxazolidin-5-one intermediate and form two isomeric decarboxylated Schiff bases. Unlike the Schiff bases resulting from primary amines or amino acids such as glycine or lysine, those resulting from secondary amino acids such as proline or secondary amines such as piperidine can further undergo vinylogous Amadori rearrangement, forming N-substituted 5-(aminomethyl)furan-2-carbaldehyde derivatives. 相似文献

Addition of the total melanoidin fraction isolated by water extraction from medium-roasted coffee powder to a model solution containing a set of 25 aroma compounds mimicking the aroma of a coffee brew reduced, in particular, the intensity of the roasty, sulfury aroma quality. Model studies performed by static headspace analysis revealed that especially three well-known coffee odorants, that is, 2-furfurylthiol (FFT), 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol, and 3-mercapto-3-methylbutyl formate, were significantly reduced in the headspace above an aqueous model solution when melanoidins were added. In particular, the low molecular weight melanoidins (1500-3000 Da) led to the most significant decrease in FFT. In contrast, for example, aldehydes remained unaffected by melanoidin addition. 相似文献

Genotoxic compounds can act at various levels in the cell (causing gene, chromosome, or genome mutations), necessitating the use of a range of genotoxicity assays designed to detect these different types of mutations. The production of melanoidins during the processing and cooking of foods is associated with changes in their nutritional character, and the discovery of mutagenic substances in pyrolyzed protein and amino acids has raised concern about the safety of these foods. The aim of this work was to test melanoidin fractions in three different in vitro assays (Ames test, Vitotox test, and micronucleus test). These melanoidin fractions were produced from the condensation of glucose with glycine and their separation was conducted by dialysis. The crude reaction mixture (before dialysis) and both the LMW and HMW fractions obtained by dialysis showed no genotoxicity in these assays, despite being tested at concentrations much higher than those naturally found in food products. The LMW fraction, however, showed toxicity at these high concentrations. The volatile fraction produced in this reaction showed genotoxicity only in the Vitotox test, at high concentrations. 相似文献

High molecular (above 10 kDa) melanoidins isolated from coffee beans of varying roasting degree were found to be efficient inhibitors for the zinc-containing matrix metalloproteases MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 with IC(50) values ranging between 0.2 and 1.1 mg/mL in vitro. The inhibitory potential increased with roasting degree. No or only slight inhibition of other zinc-containing peptidases closely related to MMPs, namely, Clostridium histolyticum collagenase and angiotensin converting enzyme, was found, indicating specific structural features of melanoidins to be responsible for the interaction with MMPs. A continuous increase on the apparent molecular weight of melanoidins as well as incorporation of phenolic substances into the melanoidin structure with progress of roasting was observed, concomitant with a significant increase in the carbon/nitrogen of the melanoidins. This suggests that the melanoidins are mainly formed by incorporation of carbohydrates and phenolic compounds onto a proteinaceous backbone. As MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 play a pivotal role in pathogenesis of colorectal cancer, studies on possible physiological effects of melanoidins are mandatory. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Food melanoidins were isolated from bread crust, coffee, and tomato sauce and their composition was investigated by thermal degradation. Among the generated volatiles, important food flavor compounds were detected: in particular furans, carbonyl compounds, 1,3-dioxolanes, pyrroles, pyrazines, pyridines, thiophenes, and phenols. The results indicated that the isolated melanoidin fractions mainly consisted of compounds formed from carbohydrates and their degradation products. Besides proteins, other food constituents were incorporated in the melanoidin structure as well, such as lipid oxidation products in tomato melanoidins and phenolic compounds in coffee melanoidins. A comparison of the thermal generation of volatiles between these food-derived melanoidins and model melanoidins prepared from a single carbonyl compound and an amino acid showed that the degradation pattern of food melanoidins is quite different from that obtained from a glucose-glycine model system. 相似文献

On the basis of the recent findings that "biogenic amines" can also be formed during thermal food processing from their parent amino acids in a Strecker-type reaction, the formation of 3-aminopropionamide, the biogenic amine of asparagine, was investigated in model systems as well as in thermally processed Gouda cheese. The results of model studies revealed that, besides acrylamide, 3-aminopropionamide was also formed in amounts of 0.1-0.4 mol % when asparagine was reacted in the presence of either glucose or 2-oxopropionic acid. Results of a second series of model experiments in which [(13)C(4)(15)N(2)]-asparagine ([(13)C(4)(15)N(2)]-Asn) and unlabeled 3-aminopropionamide were reacted together in the presence of glucose revealed a >12-fold higher efficacy of 3-aminopropionamide in acrylamide generation as compared to asparagine. Both [(13)C(3)(15)N(2)]-3-aminopropionamide and [(13)C(3)(15)N(1)]-acrylamide were formed during [(13)C(4)(15)N(2)]-Asn degradation in a ratio of about 1:4, supporting the idea that 3-aminopropionamide is a transient intermediate in acrylamide formation. In this study, 3-aminopropionamide was identified and quantified for the first time in foods, namely, in Gouda cheese. Although the fresh cheese contained low amounts of 3-aminopropionamide, its concentrations were much increased to approximately 1300 mug/kg after thermal processing. In isotope labeling studies, performed by administering to the cheese [(13)C(4)(15)N(2)]-Asn in a ratio of 1:2 as compared to the "natural" concentrations of asparagine, similar ratios of unlabeled/labeled 3-aminopropionamide and unlabeled/labeled acrylamide were determined. Thus, 3-aminopropionamide could be verified as a transient intermediate of acrylamide formation during food processing. 相似文献
