Abstract: | Cell suspension cultures of Capsicum annuum L. cv. P1482 were fed with exogenous ferulic acid to monitor their biotransformation abilities. A portion of the ferulic acid was biotransformed into vanillin, a major natural flavor, and capsaicin, a principle secondary metabolite characteristic of Capsicum species. The cellular vanillin concentrations were relatively higher than capsaicin levels and were maximal (2 mg/g DW) 4 days after 0.6 mM ferulic acid feeding. Maximal vanillin levels in the culture medium were 10 mg/L at 4 and 3 days after feeding with 1.25 and 2.5 mM ferulic acid, respectively. With regard to capsaicin levels, the cellular levels were slightly decreased by ferulic acid feeding, whereas the levels in the culture medium were increased. Ferulic acid feeding not only enhanced vanillin and capsaicin production but also increased the concentrations of other phenylpropanoid metabolites. |
