Dehydrooligomers of ferulic acid cross‐link polysaccharides such as arabinoxylans and pectic polysaccharides in cereal and certain pseudocereal grains, affecting physiological effects of these fiber components and their physicochemical properties during food processing. An HPLC‐MS method for the analysis of eight diferulic acids and five triferulic acids in low‐lignin samples such as cereal grains and pseudocereals was developed and validated. This method was applied to the analysis of ester‐linked diferulates and triferulates in maize, popcorn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, and amaranth, giving a complete profile of this set of diferulates and triferulates in cereals and pseudocereals. Triferulic acid contents of the cereal flours are roughly 1/10 of the diferulic acid contents, ranging between 23 (oats) and 161 (popcorn) μg/g of flour, with lower amounts for the pseudocereal flours (1–3 μg/g of flour). Dominating trimers are either the 5‐5/8‐O‐4‐ and/or the 8‐O‐4/8‐O‐4‐regioisomers with lower proportions of 8‐8cyclic/8‐O‐4‐, 8‐5noncyclic/8‐O‐4‐, and 8‐5noncyclic/5‐5‐triferulic acids. A unique diferulate pattern was found for buckwheat, with more than 90% of the dimers being 8‐5‐coupled. Amaranth contains an unusually high proportion of 8‐8cyclic‐diferulate, with 27% of the total dimers, whereas oats and barley show comparably high proportions (23%) of the 8‐8tetrahydrofuran diferulate.  相似文献

Buckwheat     
Buckwheat has major potential as food ingredient, especially for the functional food industry. Buckwheat, a pseudo‐cereal, contains protein of high nutritional value, dietary fiber, resistant starch, rutin, D‐chiro‐inositol, vitamins, and minerals. D‐Chiro‐inositol, fagopyritols (galactosyl derivatives of D‐chiro‐inositol), resistant starch, and buckwheat protein product exhibited positive health effects on rats, but more studies should be undertaken to establish effects on humans. Rutin and quercetin are the main antioxidants in buckwheat and have been mentioned in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency. The main nutritional value of buckwheat groats (dehulled seeds) is similar to that of cereals. Starch and fiber are present in similar amounts, and buckwheat also contains a high level of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid. Several vitamins (B1, C, and E) are present, whereas minerals are present in abundance. In comparison to cereals, buckwheat protein is of high nutritional quality due to its relatively high level of lysine. On the other hand, a low digestibility has been recorded, possibly due to tannins, phytic acid, and protease inhibitors. Some protease inhibitors can also cause allergic reactions in humans. Malting may enhance the nutritional and functional properties of buckwheat by increasing protein digestibility and the level of nutritional and functional components.  相似文献

Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), a highly nutritious pseudocereal rich in bioactive compounds, is principally cultivated in central and eastern European countries. Buckwheat groats and husks of 10 cultivars were subjected to nutritional composition analysis and in vitro starch digestibility determination. Significant genetic variation was detected in buckwheat groats for 1,000‐kernel weight (16.5–39.8 g), protein content (10.2–17.9%), soluble dietary fiber (1.4–3.4%), insoluble dietary fiber (2.3–8.6%), total dietary fiber (3.6–10.6%), free phenolics (4.5–17.1 mg of gallic acid equivalent [GA]/g), and total phenolics content (6.8–20.7 mg of GA/g). The buckwheat husks exhibited large differences between cultivars in protein content (3.0–6.5%), bound phenolics (6.7–26.1 mg of GA/g), and total phenolics content (32.4–58.6 mg of GA/g), which was 1.5–8 times higher than in the groat. Cooked and cooled buckwheat groats exhibited lower starch digestibility and greater resistant starch content than raw buckwheat groats. Buckwheat cultivars with unique nutritional composition, such as Co901 and Ta‐1, were identified for future breeding.  相似文献

As a cover crop, buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) may increase soil‐P availability. Buckwheat was grown in low‐P and P‐fertilized field plots, and organic anions were measured in rhizosphere soil. Soil‐P availability was not affected by buckwheat, but the concentration of rhizosphere tartrate2– was significantly higher (p < 0.005) in low‐P vs. P‐fertilized plots. This suggests that organic‐anion root exudation may have a role in buckwheat‐rhizosphere P dynamics.  相似文献

Buckwheat is a pseudocereal with a strong characteristic aroma. Compounds responsible for the aroma of buckwheat groats were recently identified, but the distribution of aromatic compounds between different fractions of the buckwheat kernel (flour, bran, and husk) is not yet known. In this study, the composition of aromatic compounds in buckwheat seed fractions was investigated and compared to the composition of aromatic compounds in groats produced from the same batch of buckwheat seeds. Volatiles from each sample were extracted with simultaneous distillation/extraction with a Likens‐Nickerson apparatus. Extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) with electron ionization. Apart from the aroma molecules present in all fractions, compounds that are present only in flour or bran, but not in groats, were also found. Furthermore, some compounds were identified only in buckwheat groats but not in buckwheat flour or bran [octanal, (E,E)‐2,4‐heptadienal, (E)‐2‐decenal, and (E,E)‐2,4‐decadienal], others were identified only in husks [(E)‐2‐hexenal, heptanal, (E,E)‐2,4‐hexadienal, phenylacetaldehyde, and alpha‐bisabolol].  相似文献

Cooked buckwheat groats are suggested to contain a greater amount of resistant starch (RS) than cereal grains. High RS content, in addition to dietary fibers present in groats, contributes to the low‐calorie, high‐fiber food status of buckwheat. Six buckwheat genotypes exhibiting high, medium, and low RS content of cooked groats were selected, and starches were isolated to determine their functional properties to explore the possible cause of high RS content of cooked buckwheat groats. Apparent and actual amylose contents were 27.4 and 31.6–34.5% in high, 27.4–28.6 and 32.5–33.7% in medium, and 21.4–25.6 and 24.5–32.0% in low RS genotypes, respectively. Genotypes of high RS content exhibited greater amylose leaching based on total starch content during cooking than genotypes of low RS content, mainly because of higher amylose content in the former than latter. Genotypes of low RS content exhibited a relatively high content of amylose‐lipid complexes, as determined with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Gelatinization enthalpy and degree of amylopectin retrogradation determined with a DSC were not related to RS content. An evident relationship was observed between RS content of cooked groats and amylose retrogradation determined by gel hardness (r = 0.91, P < 0.05), cohesiveness (r = 0.89, P < 0.05), and syneresis (r = 0.88, P < 0.05). Increases in starch amylose content, amylose leaching capacity, and amylose retrogradation, as well as a decrease in the amount of amylose‐lipid complexes all appear to be related to high RS content of cooked buckwheat groats.  相似文献

The effect of different conditions of pea germination on dietary fiber (DF) composition was studied. Insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) and soluble dietary fiber (SDF) were subjected to acid hydrolysis, and the resultant neutral sugars, uronic acids, and Klason lignin were quantified. Germinated peas exhibited significantly higher contents of total dietary fiber (TDF) than the raw sample, due to the increases of both DF fractions. Under darkness conditions, germination exhibited the highest contents of IDF and SDF. Decreasing IDF/SDF ratios showed that the carbohydrate changes did not take place to the same extent during germination, the SDF fraction being the most affected. The detailed chemical composition of fiber fractions reveals increases of cellulose in the IDF of germinated samples, whereas SDF exhibits a decrease of pectic polysaccharides and also increases of polysaccharides rich in glucose and mannose. The DF results were corroborated by a comparative examination of the cell wall carbohydrate composition.  相似文献

Seven major pulse crops account for ≈90% of global pulse production. Pulses are an important component of human nutrition as sources of proteins, carbohydrates, and minor nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. The major pulse seed storage polysaccharide is starch, which is made up of highly branched amylopectin and sparsely branched amylose. Pulse starches generally contain a higher concentration of amylose as compared to cereal and tuber starches. The nonstarch complex carbohydrates are major components of dietary fiber including cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectic polysaccharides with considerable structural diversity. Diets rich in pulses are associated with health benefits such as reduced calorific content, reduced or no effect on blood glucose levels (low glycemic index), and improved heart health. These health benefits have been attributed to the high amylose concentration (>30%) that gives rise to resistant starch that, along with dietary fiber, remains undigested in the small intestine but is fermented by the microbiota in the colon. Colonic fermentation increases the growth of beneficial bacteria and production of short chain fatty acids which have been associated with reduced risk of colon cancer. Clinical trials with human subjects to confirm the beneficial effects of diets rich in pulses are inconclusive. Advances in genetic strategies to develop pulse seeds with desired carbohydrate concentration and composition, carbohydrate structure characterization, combined with utilization of in vitro and in animal models may be helpful to identify carbohydrate structure function relationship responsible for beneficial effects on human health associated with pulse consumption.  相似文献

A modified digestion method was used to hydrolyze large amounts of quinoa meal to study polysaccharide‐bound phenolic acids. Besides the well‐characterized oligosaccharide O‐(2‐O‐trans‐feruloyl‐α‐l ‐arabinofuranosyl)‐(1→5)‐l ‐arabinofuranose, O‐(2‐O‐trans‐coumaroyl‐α‐l ‐arabinofuranosyl)‐(1→5)‐l ‐arabinofuranose was isolated from the hydrolysate and identified by LC‐MS, GC‐MS, and NMR experiments. This study demonstrates for the first time that p‐coumaric acid can be linked to pectic side chains of dicotyledonous plants.  相似文献

Fiber from wheat and flax is mostly insoluble, making addition in high amounts to a food difficult without adversely affecting product attributes. One approach to increasing the level of these fibers in food is to hydrolyze fiber to more soluble forms through processing. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of a steam pressure cooking process on physicochemical properties of ready‐to‐eat (RTE) cereal with 17.7% added unhydrolyzed flax fiber (a combination of arabinoxylans, rhamnogalacturonans, and pectins) or 15.4% added hydrolyzed wheat fiber (a purified arabinoxylan extract). Peak molecular weights of unhydrolyzed and hydrolyzed fibers were ∼2.9 × 106 and ∼800 g/mol, respectively, with a ∼400‐fold higher viscosity for unhydrolyzed fiber. Molecular weight of the unhydrolyzed fiber ingredient was reduced to approximately the molecular weight of the hydrolyzed fiber as a result of the low‐shear steam pressure cooking process used, and consistent with molecular weight results, there was only a twofold difference in viscosity of the cereal remaining. The low‐fiber control RTE cereal had the highest viscosity owing to starch content.  相似文献

The objective of this work was to evaluate extrusion cooking as a means to improve the nutritional properties of Phaseolus vulgaris L. that had been stored either at 42 degrees C and 80% relative humidity for 6 weeks or for periods >1 year in cereal stores in tropical conditions. Storage under these conditions resulted in an increase in cooking time increased (7.7- and 12-fold, respectively) as a result of development of the hard-to-cook (HTC) defect. Single-screw extrusion of the milled beans was carried out at four barrel temperatures and two moisture contents. The extrudate bulk density and water solubility index decreased with increasing temperature, whereas the water absorption index increased due to the higher proportion of gelatinized starch in the extruded samples. Both fresh and HTC beans contained nutritionally significant amounts of lectins, trypsin, and alpha-amylase inhibitors, which were mostly inactivated by extrusion. Extrusion also caused a considerable redistribution of insoluble dietary fiber to soluble, although the total dietary fiber content was not affected. Changes in solubility involved pectic polysaccharides, arabinose and uronic acids being the main sugars involved. Stored beans subjected to extrusion cooking showed physical and chemical characteristics similar to those of extrudates from fresh beans.  相似文献

In this study, the structural features and ripening-related changes that occur in the arabinan-rich pectic polysaccharides highly enmeshed in the cellulosic matrix of the olive pulp fruit were evaluated. These pectic polysaccharides, obtained from two consecutive harvests at green, cherry, and black ripening stages, account for 11-19% of the total pectic polysaccharides found in the olive pulp cell walls and were previously shown to occur as calcium chelating dimers. On the basis of the 13C NMR, (1H, 13C) gHSQC, 2D COSYPR, and (1H,13C) gHMBC carbon and proton resonances of the variously linked arabinosyl residues, we propose a tentative structure. This structure is particularly characterized by T-beta-Araf (1-->5)-linked to (1-->3,5)-Araf residues and by the occurrence of branched and linear blocks in the arabinan backbone. Methylation analysis showed that these pectic polysaccharides of black olives have more arabinan side chains, which were shorter (less (1-->5)-Araf), highly branched (more (1-->3,5)-Araf), and with shorter side chains (fewer (1-->3)-Araf) than those of green and cherry olives. Quantitative 13C NMR data indicated that these modifications involved the disappearance of the characteristic terminally linked beta-Araf residue of the arabinans. This odd feature can be used as a diagnostic tool in the evaluation of the stage of ripening of this fruit, as well as a marker for the presence of olive pulp in matrices containing pectic polysaccharides samples.  相似文献

Abstract

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var italica cv. Premium Crop) plants were germinated in soil, transferred to vermiculite three weeks later and grown in the greenhouse, supplied continuously with boron concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 12.5 mg L‐1. At commercial maturity, the partitioning of nitrogen into soluble (nitrate, ammonium, amino acids) and insoluble components of the foliage (young and old leaves) and the florets was investigated. Both boron deficiency and toxicity increased the per cent soluble nitrogen, particularly as nitrate. Boron toxicity, but not deficiency, consistently affected the concentration and relative composition of amino acids. The actual nitrogen partitioning, including the relative amino acid composition, was dependent upon the developmental stage and of the plant organs, and whether boron was present in deficient or toxic levels. Together with information about the composition of transport fluids from a previous study, the data are interpreted as evidence for a reduction in the availability of carbon under conditions of boron stress.  相似文献

Onion tissues of three varieties were evaluated for dietary fiber (DF) composition. Insoluble (IDF) and soluble (SDF) dietary fibers were subjected to acid hydrolysis, and the resultant neutral sugars, uronic acids, and Klason lignin were quantified. Brown skin exhibited the highest total dietary fiber (TDF) content (65.8%) on a dry matter basis, followed by top (48.5%) and bottom (38.6%), IDF being the main fraction found. The SDF:IDF ratio decreased from inner to outer tissues. Brown skin and outer leaves byproducts appear to be the most suitable sources of DF that might be used in food product supplementation. The chemical composition reveals that cellulose and pectic polysaccharides were the main components of onion DF in all tissues, although differences between them were noticed. An increase in the uronic acids/neutral sugars ratio from inner to outer tissues was found, suggesting that the galactan side chain shows a DF solubilization role.  相似文献

The input to soils made by pollen and its subsequent mineralization has rarely been investigated from a soil microbiological point of view even though the small but significant quantities of C and N in pollen may make an important contribution to nutrient cycling. The relative resistance to decomposition of pollen exines (outer layers) has led to much of the focus of pollen in soil being on its preservation for archaeological and palaeo‐ecological purposes. We have examined aspects of the chemical composition and decomposition of pollen from birch (Betula alba) and maize (Zea mays) in soil. The relatively large N contents, small C‐to‐N ratios and large water‐soluble contents of pollen from both species indicated that they would be readily mineralized in soil. When added to soil and incubated at 16°C an amount of C equivalent to 22–26% of the added pollen C was lost as CO2 within 22 days, with the Z. mays pollen decomposing faster. For B. alba pollen, the water‐soluble fraction decomposed faster than the whole pollen and the insoluble fraction decomposed more slowly over 22 days. By contrast, there were no significant differences in the decomposition rates of the different fractions from Z. mays pollen. Solid‐state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) revealed no gross chemical differences between the pollen of these two species, with strong resonances in the alkyl‐ and methyl‐C region (0–45 p.p.m.) indicative of aliphatic compounds, the O‐alkyl‐C (60–90 p.p.m.) and the acetal‐ and ketal‐C region (90–110 p.p.m.) indicative of polysaccharides, and the carbonyl‐C region indicative of peptides and carboxylic acids. In addition, both pollens gave a small but distinct resonance at 55 p.p.m. attributed to N‐alkyl‐C. The resonances attributed to polysaccharides were lost completely or substantially reduced after decomposition.  相似文献

The time course trend of the various calcium (Ca) forms (soluble, bound, inorganic insoluble, and organic insoluble) was studied throughout the growing period in mature and young leaves of Cucumis melo L. cv. Revigal plants cultivated on rockwool under unfavorable conditions for Ca uptake. The following anions accompanying Ca were tested: NO3 ‐ as control, as well as EDTA2‐, Cl‐ and SO4 2‐ with two concentration levels equivalent to half and a quarter part of the Ca level of the control. The differences between mature and young leaves were very marked for all the forms. Generally, the inorganic insoluble Ca form was predominant in mature leaves, while the bound form showed the lowest levels. In young leaves, on the other hand, soluble Ca was usually the major form, whereas organic insoluble Ca was the least plentiful. The treatments with Ca‐EDTA (Ch‐#fr1/2> and Ch‐#fr1/4>) resulted in lower leaf Ca concentration than the other treatments. The ratios referring to the Ca contents of mature leaves/young leaves for the six Ca‐deficiency treatments varied from 5.0 to 18.5 (soluble Ca), 3.8 to 11.0 (bound Ca), 9.0 to 41.7 (inorganic insoluble Ca), and 9.0 to 47.7 (organic insoluble Ca). For the control, these ratios were 2.3 (soluble Ca), 1.6 (bound Ca), 22.3 (inorganic insoluble Ca), and 61.5 (organic insoluble Ca). The insoluble forms always showed higher ratios. For all treatments and sampling dates the total Ca level was approximately ten times higher in mature leaves than in young leaves and always in the following order: NO‐>Cl‐‐#fr1/2> ～ SO42‐#fr1/2>> Cl‐‐#fr1/4> ～ SO4 2‐‐#fr1/4>> Ch‐#fr1/2>>Ch‐#fr1/4>, which was the same order observed in the response as reflected by fruit and vegetative biomass production.  相似文献

The effect of fermentation on antinutritional factors and also on total dietary fiber (TDF), insoluble (IDF) and soluble (SDF) dietary fiber fractions was studied in beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The processes studied were two types of fermentation (lactic acid and natural), and a portion of the obtained flours were processed by autoclaving. The dietary fiber (DF) content and its components were determined using the enzymatic-gravimetric and enzymatic-chemical methods. The TDF content ranged from 24.5% dry matter (DM) in the raw to 25.2% DM in the processed beans. All the processing treatments significantly decreased the SDF content, and irrelevant changes were noticed in the IDF content of processed beans. Cellulose content of all samples was reduced by the processing treatments. Correspondingly, higher amounts of resistant starch was observed in the processed beans, except in the lactic acid fermented ones. However, the levels of pectic polysaccharides and Klason lignin were higher in the samples fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum. The action of microorganisms was determinant for the different degradation of the bean cell wall, disrupting the protein-carbohydrate integration, thus reducing the solubility of DF.  相似文献

Amino sugars in fungal melanins and soil humic acids   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Humic acids from six Brazilian topsoils (three Latosols and three Podzols) and five soil fungal melanins were hydrolysed and the released amino sugars qualitatively and quantitatively determined by capillary gas-liquid chromatography. Melanins were obtained from liquid culture media, synthesized with nitrate or asparagine as a source of N, of Stachybotrys atra, Aspergillus glaucus, Eurotium echinulatum and Hendersonula toruloidea. Glucosamine (48–60%), galactosamine (39–52%), and traces of mannosamine were detected in all humic acids. The total amino sugar content ranged from 1351 to 2287 mg kg?1. In the fungal melanins analysed, mostly glucosamine (80–99%) and trace to small amounts of galactosamine and mannosamine (<10%) were found in amounts ranging from 192 to 635 mg kg?1. The Occurrence of mannosamine in fungal melanins and fungal polysaccharides had not previously been found. The present study gives additional data to the theory that fungal melanins may play a role, as precursors, in the formation of soil organic matter.  相似文献

Various treatments, including flash release and addition of pectic enzymes, have been proposed to enhance degradation of grape berry cell walls and extraction of aroma and phenolic compounds into the wines. The effect of flash release and enzyme treatment used separately or in combination on wine polysaccharide composition was studied. The flash release process increased extraction of polysaccharides originating from grape berry cell walls, that is, polysaccharides rich in arabinose and galactose (PRAGs) and type II rhamnogalacturonan (RG-II), thus yielding enriched wines. Increasing the duration of high-temperature exposure before the flash release treatment further increased extraction of polysaccharides. However, the wine obtained by pressing immediately after flash release and fermenting in the liquid phase contained lower amounts of grape polysaccharides, indicating that their extraction required skin maceration. The use of enzymes without or with flash release modified the composition and the structure of pectic polysaccharides. In particular, it induced the loss of PRAG terminal arabinose residues.  相似文献
