The red color of muscle is principally due to the presence of oxymyoglobin. Oxidation of heme iron from the ferrous to the ferric state produces a brownish color, which consumers find undesirable. The aim of this study was to use enzymic and nonenzymic antioxidants to simulate in situ muscle antioxidation reactions in order to understand better the mechanism by which the iron redox cycle catalyzes membrane lipid peroxidation and oxymyoglobin oxidation. The inclusion of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the model system decreased oxymyoglobin oxidation by 10% without affecting lipid peroxidation. Addition of catalase decreased oxymyoglobin oxidation by approximately 40% but not lipid peroxidation. Increasing the ceruloplasmin concentration inhibited lipid peroxidation but increased oxymyoglobin oxidation, which was inhibited by SOD and catalase. Conalbumin (50 microM), a specific iron chelator, inhibited peroxidation and oxymyoglobin oxidation by almost 50%. The addition of the antioxidant catechin (500 microM) decreased lipid peroxidation by 90% but oxymyoglobin oxidation by only 50%. Feeding turkeys with vitamin E at several levels significantly increased the alpha-tocopherol level of membranes, thus preventing oxymyoglobin and lipid oxidation. In conclusion, oxymyoglobin stability in the model system was affected by two pathways: (a) oxygen active species, such as O(2)*(-), H(2)O(2), HO*, and ferryl, generated during autoxidation of myoglobin and oxidation of ferrous ions and ascorbic acid; and (b) lipid radicals, such as ROO*, RO*, and hydroperoxides, generated during lipid peroxidation. Maximum inhibition could be achieved only by introducing inhibitors of both pathways into the system.  相似文献

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of dietary fat (6% soy oil or rapeseed oil or tallow) and alpha-tocopheryl acetate supplementation at two levels (30 or 200 ppm) on radical production, measured by ESR spectroscopy, and on lipid and protein oxidation in turkey muscle extracts oxidized by an enzymic system (NADPH, ADP, FeSO(4)/cytochrome P450 reductase). Two muscles were tested: pectoralis major (glycolytic) and sartorius (oxidative) muscles. Radical production measured by ESR was higher in pectoralis major muscle than in sartorius muscle, whereas lipid and protein oxidation was more important in sartorius muscle, showing the importance of the pro-/antioxidant ratio in oxidative processes in muscular cells and of the measurement methodology to appreciate the free radical production. Dietary fat had no effect on the level of ESR signals, whereas feeding of animals with soy oil induced higher oxidation of lipids. Protein oxidation was less sensitive to the nature of the dietary fat than lipid oxidation. Vitamin E supplementation significantly decreased radical production, as measured by ESR spectroscopy. Vitamin E also decreased lipid and protein oxidation, but the effect of vitamin E on protein oxidation was less pronounced than on lipid oxidation.  相似文献

The impact of lipid oxidation on yellow pigment formation in squid lipids and proteins was studied. When the squid microsomes were oxidized with iron and ascorbate, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance were observed to increase simultaneously with b values (yellowness) and pyrrole compounds concomitantly with a decrease in free amines. Oxidized microsomes were not able to change the solubility, sulfhydryl content, or color of salt-soluble squid myofibrillar proteins. Aldehydic lipid oxidation products were able to decrease solubility and sulfhydryl content of salt-soluble squid myofibrillar proteins but had no impact on color. Aldehydic lipid oxidation products increased b values (yellowness) and pyrrole compounds and decreased free amines in both squid phospholipid and egg yolk lecithin liposomes. The ability of aldehydic lipid oxidation products to change the physical and chemical properties of egg yolk lecithin liposomes increased with increasing level of unsaturation and when the carbon number was increased from 6 to 7. These data suggest that off-color formation in squid muscle could be due to nonenzymatic browning reactions occurring between aldehydic lipid oxidation products and the amines on phospholipids headgroups.  相似文献

This study aimed at investigating protein and lipid oxidation during frozen storage of rainbow trout. Rainbow trout fillets were stored for 13 months at -20, -30, or -80 degrees C, and samples were analyzed at regular intervals for lipid and protein oxidation markers. Lipid oxidation was followed by measuring lipid hydroperoxides (PV), as well as secondary oxidation products (volatiles) using dynamic headspace GC-MS. Free fatty acids (FFA) were measured as an estimation of lipolysis. Protein oxidation was followed using the spectrophotometric determination of protein carbonyls and immunoblotting. Significant oxidation was observed in samples stored at -20 degrees C, and at this temperature lipid and protein oxidation seemed to develop simultaneously. FFA, PV, and carbonyls increased significantly for the fish stored at -20 degrees C, whereas the fish stored at -30 and -80 degrees C did not show any increase in oxidation during the entire storage period when these methods were used. In contrast, the more sensitive GC-MS method used for measurement of the volatiles showed that the fish stored at -30 degrees C oxidized more quickly than those stored at -80 degrees C. Detection of protein oxidation using immunoblotting revealed that high molecular weight proteins were oxidized already at t = 0 and that no new protein oxidized during storage irrespective of the storage time and temperature. The results emphasize the need for the development of more sensitive and reliable methods to study protein oxidation in order to gain more explicit knowledge about the significance of protein oxidation for food quality and, especially, to correlate protein oxidation with physical and functional properties of foods.  相似文献

The hemoglobin variant rHb 0.1, which possesses a decreased ability to form subunits, stimulated lipid oxidation in washed fish muscle less effectively as compared to wild-type hemoglobin (rHb 0.0). This could be due to the lower hemin affinity and more rapid autoxidation rate of subunits as compared to tetramers. To differentiate between hemin affinity and autoxidation effects, ferrous V68T Mb was compared to ferrous wild-type myoglobin (WT Mb). WT Mb has a more rapid hemin loss rate (25-fold) than does V68T, while V68T autoxidized more rapidly than did WT Mb (60-fold). Ferrous WT Mb promoted TBARS and lipid peroxide formation more rapidly than did ferrous V68T (p < 0.01). This indicated hemin loss rate was more critical in determining onset of lipid oxidation as compared to autoxidation rate. Hemin alone was capable of stimulating lipid oxidation. Albumin enhanced the ability of hemin to promote lipid oxidation. MetMb promoted lipid oxidation more effectively than did ferrous Mb, which could be due to the lower hemin affinity of metMb as compared to that of ferrous Mb. EDTA, an iron chelator, had no effect on the rate or extent of lipid oxidation mediated by Mb in the cooked system. Variants with a 975-fold range of hemin affinities promoted lipid oxidation with equivalent efficacy in cooked washed cod contrary to results in uncooked washed cod. The cooking temperatures apparently denature the globin and release hemin reactant to such an extent that the impact of hemin affinity on lipid oxidation observed in the raw state is negated in the cooked state. These studies collectively suggest released hemin is of primary importance in promoting lipid oxidation in raw and cooked washed fish muscle.  相似文献

为探明4℃冷藏和-18℃冻藏对牦牛瘤胃平滑肌脂肪和蛋白质氧化及其加工特性的影响,以PE薄膜和PE真空包装的牦牛瘤胃为研究对象,分别测定其在贮藏过程中的脂肪氧化(硫代巴比妥酸)、蛋白质氧化(羰基值、总巯基、表面疏水性)和加工品质(失水率、蒸煮损失率、剪切力、质构特性)的变化。结果表明,不同贮藏温度和包装方式下的瘤胃均发生了不同程度的脂肪和蛋白质氧化,与薄膜包装相比,真空包装可延缓牦牛瘤胃脂肪和蛋白质氧化的发生,且-18℃冻藏下更为显著。此外,冷(冻)藏条件下不同包装牦牛瘤胃的失水率和蒸煮损失率均显著增大(P<0.05),剪切力值显著降低(P<0.05),硬度先减小后增大,且薄膜包装在冷藏0~5 d和冻藏0~28 d时,其加工特性均优于真空包装。综上表明,2种包装下的牦牛瘤胃在冷(冻)藏过程中均发生了脂肪和蛋白质氧化,但真空包装可以有效地延缓氧化反应的发生。此外,在冷藏0~5 d和冻藏0~28 d时,薄膜包装更有利于改善瘤胃的加工特性,增加其嫩度和弹性,但长时间贮藏会导致瘤胃加工特性下降,冷藏条件下薄膜包装瘤胃的变化表现最为显著。本研究可为瘤胃贮藏过程中食用品质的控制提供参考。  相似文献

Lipid oxidation is a major cause for the degradation of biological systems and foods, but the intricate relationship between lipid oxidation and protein modifications in these complex multiphase systems remains unclear. The objective of this work was to have a spatial and temporal insight of the modifications undergone by the interfacial or the unadsorbed proteins in oil-in-water emulsions during lipid oxidation. Tryptophan fluorescence and oxygen uptake were monitored simultaneously during incubation in different conditions of protein-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions. Kinetic parameters demonstrated that protein modifications, highlighted by decrease of protein fluorescence, occurred as an early event in the sequence of the reactions. They concerned more specifically the proteins adsorbed at the oil/water interface. The reactions led in a latter stage to protein aggregation, carbonylation, and loss of protein solubility.  相似文献

Natural phenolic antioxidants have been tested in hake (Merluccious merluccious) microsomes as inhibitors of lipid oxidation promoted by fish muscle prooxidants: hemoglobin (Hb), enzymatic NADH-iron and nonenzymatic ascorbate-iron. The phenolics selected were as follows: (a) a grape phenolic extract (OW), (b) a fraction (IV) with isolated grape procyanidins with a medium-low degree of polymerization and galloylation percentage, (c) hydroxytyrosol obtained from olive oil byproducts, and (d) a synthetic phenolic antioxidant, propyl gallate. All compounds delayed lipid oxidation activated by Hb, enzymatic NADH-iron, and nonenzymatic ascorbate-iron, excluding hydroxytyrosol that was not an effective antioxidant on oxidation promoted by nonenzymatic iron. The relative antioxidant efficiency was independent of the prooxidant system, IV > propyl gallate > OW > hydroxytyrosol, and showed a positive correlation with their incorporation into microsomes (p < 0.05). The reducing capacity or ability for donating electrons and the chelating properties may also contribute to the antioxidant activity of phenolics, although these factors were less decisive than their affinity for incorporating into the microsomes. Conversely, the inhibition of Hb oxidation by phenolics and their polarity did not seem to play an important role on antioxidant mechanism. These results stressed the importance of incorporating the exogenous antioxidants into the membranes where are located key substances for fish lipid oxidation (highly unsaturated phospholipids, iron-reducing enzymes, and endogenous alpha-tocopherol).  相似文献

羟自由基氧化对牦牛肉肌原纤维蛋白生化特性的影响   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
为探究羟自由基(·OH)氧化处理对宰后牦牛肉成熟过程中肌原纤维蛋白氧化特性的影响,以经不同浓度(0、0.5、1、5、10、20 mmol·L-1)羟自由基氧化体系氧化不同时间(0、0.5、1、12、24、48 h)的牦牛肉为研究对象,以未经处理的牦牛肉为空白对照,测定不同浓度不同氧化时间下肉样肌原纤维蛋白的羰基含量、巯基含量、二硫键含量、表面疏水性、Ca/K-ATPase活性等指标的变化规律。结果表明,随着H2O2浓度的增加及氧化时间的延长,不同处理组间牦牛肉肌原纤维蛋白均表现出不同程度的氧化水平,其中羰基含量、二硫键含量和Ca-ATPase活性均呈显著增加趋势(P<0.01),而表面疏水性呈先上升后下降的趋势,巯基含量和K-ATPase活性则显著降低(P<0.01)。H2O2浓度增加至20 mmol·L-1时,与空白对照组相比,羟自由基处理组羰基含量升高46.03%,而巯基含量下降79.79%。综上,羟自由基促使宰后牦牛肉成熟过程中肌原纤维蛋白发生了显著氧化,增加了蛋白的氧化程度。本研究结果为牦牛肉生产加工过程中蛋白氧化控制提供了一定的参考。  相似文献

The sulfhydryl (SH) content of egg white proteins (10% v/v or 9.64 mg of protein/mL) after heat (50-85 degrees C) and combined heat- and high-pressure treatments (100-700 MPa, 10-60 degrees C) was determined using 5',5-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), both for the soluble fraction and the total protein fraction. Only irreversible changes were taken into account. Both physical treatments were performed at two pH levels: pH 7.6, corresponding to the pH of fresh egg white, and pH 8.8, corresponding to that of aged egg white. Both heat and combined heat- and high-pressure treatment resulted in an exposure of buried SH groups. These exposed SH groups were involved in the formation of disulfide bond stabilized protein aggregates, as shown by gel electrophoresis. Under severe processing conditions (above 70 degrees C at atmospheric pressure or above 500-600 MPa, depending on the temperature applied), a decrease in total SH content could be observed, probably due to the formation of disulfide bonds by oxidation, especially at alkaline pH when the thiolate anion was more reactive. The high degree of exposure of sulfhydryl groups, and subsequent oxidation and sulfhydryl-disulfide bond exchange reactions resulting in soluble aggregates, can explain why pressure-induced egg white gels are softer and more elastic than heat-induced ones. When pressure treatment was performed at low temperatures (e.g., 10 degrees C), a lower pressure was required to induce similar changes in the sulfhydryl content, as compared to higher temperatures (e.g., 25 degrees C), indicating an antagonistic effect between pressure and temperature in the domain studied (10-60 degrees C, 100-700 MPa). Treatment conditions resulting in extensive protein insolubilization were accompanied by a transfer of free sulfhydryl groups from the soluble to the insoluble protein fraction. These SH groups were mainly accessible to DTNB.  相似文献

Demand is growing for meat products cured without the addition of sodium nitrite. Instead of the direct addition of nitrite to meat in formulation, nitrite is supplied by bacterial reduction of natural nitrate often added as vegetable juice/powder. However, the rate of nitrite formation in this process is relatively slow, and the total ingoing nitrite is typically less than in conventional curing processes. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of the rate of addition of nitrite and the amount of nitrite added on nitrosylation/nitrosation reactions in a model meat curing system. Myoglobin was preferentially nitrosylated as no decrease in sulfhydryl groups was found until maximum nitrosylmyoglobin color was achieved. The cysteine-myoglobin model retained more sulfhydryl groups than the cysteine-only model (p < 0.05). The rate of nitrite addition did not alter nitrosylation/nitrosation reactions (p > 0.05). These data suggest that the amount of nitrite but not the rate of addition impacts the nitrosylation/nitrosation reactions this system.  相似文献

Beef hemoglobin (Hb) had lower levels of deoxyHb and autoxidized much slower as compared to trout Hb at pH 6.3. Chicken Hb autoxidized at a rate intermediate between beef and trout Hb. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, metHb formed rapidly from trout Hb whereas beef Hb was essentially nonreactive with hydrogen peroxide. The autoxidation rate of perch Hb was more rapid than trout Hb despite the low deoxyHb content of perch Hb. Perch Hb was a better catalyst of lipid oxidation than trout Hb when added to washed cod muscle based on formation of lipid hydroperoxides and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. These studies indicate that autoxidation rate does not always increase with increasing deoxyHb content. The role of heme crevice volume in heme protein autoxidation is discussed. Among other factors, these studies suggest that rates of lipid oxidation in various muscle foods may depend on the relative ability of hemoglobins from different animal species to promote lipid oxidation.  相似文献

The pro-oxidative activity of trout hemoglobin was significantly increased at low pH (2.5-3.5) in a washed fish muscle (WFM) system. It was found that the more unfolded the hemoglobin was the more exposed its heme group was, which increased its pro-oxidative activity. The amount of oxidation products produced (TBARS) were, however, lower at low pH vs neutral pH. At pH 10.5-11, the pro-oxidative activity of hemoglobin was greatly suppressed. The conformation of hemoglobin was significantly more stable at high pH as compared to pH 7 as judged by its visible absorption spectrum. Hemoglobin readjusted from low pH to pH 7 had a higher pro-oxidative activity (i.e., more rapid oxidation) in WFM than native hemoglobin at pH 7, even though TBARS values were lower than in the untreated sample at pH 7. The results suggest that the WFM becomes slightly more susceptible to oxidation after low pH treatment but also produces less TBARS. The increased pro-oxidative activity after pH readjustment correlated well with an incomplete recovery in the native structure on pH readjustment. A longer unfolding time and a lower pH led to a less refolded hemoglobin with increased pro-oxidative activity. Hemoglobin was less pro-oxidative at low pH in the presence of 500 mM NaCl. The presence of salt did, however, increase the pro-oxidative properties of hemoglobin after readjustment to pH 7. The treatment of washed fish muscle at alkaline pH followed by adjustment to pH 7 led to a slight delay in hemoglobin-mediated lipid oxidation in WFM as compared to native hemoglobin at pH 7. The results suggest that WFM becomes less susceptible toward oxidation after pH readjustment from alkaline pH. These results clearly show that for muscle protein extraction/isolation processes requiring highly alkaline or acidic conditions, alkaline conditions are preferred if the lipid oxidation originating from hemoglobin is to be minimized.  相似文献

During the extraction of muscle to produce protein isolates by acid or alkali solubilization, membranes are exposed to abnormally low or high pH. Low but not high pH treatment induces rapid oxidation of membrane phospholipids in the presence of hemoglobin. The goal of this research work was to study the oxidative stability of microsomes under the conditions met during acid solubilization. Isolated microsomes from cod muscle were used as a model system. At pH 5.3 or lower, 99% of isolated cod membranes sedimented at low centrifugation speeds. Isolated membranes that were exposed to pH 3.0 were less susceptible to hemoglobin-mediated lipid oxidation. Cod hemoglobin exposed to pH 3 was rendered less pro-oxidative than the untreated cod hemoglobin. However, when microsomes and hemoglobin were together exposed to low pH, oxidation was promoted. Citric acid and calcium chloride, as well as press juice isolated from cod muscle, were able to inhibit lipid oxidation of microsomal suspensions.  相似文献

微波对大豆蛋白氧化聚集体结构及功能特性的影响   总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0  
为了探究不同时间微波处理对大豆蛋白氧化聚集体的结构和功能性质的影响,由偶氮二异丁脒盐酸盐(2,2′-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride,AAPH)诱导构建大豆蛋白氧化反应体系,采用功率为350 W的微波对其照射不同时间(0、10、20、30、40、50、60、70 s),探究微波处理对氧化聚集大豆蛋白的结构特性和加工特性的影响。结果表明,氧化可诱导形成粒径、分子量更大,结构更致密的蛋白质聚集体,同时对加工特性造成损害。适当时间(<30 s)的微波处理会导致氧化聚集体的分子结构打开、粒径降低和浊度降低,无序结构减少,进而改善了起泡性、乳化性和持水、持油性。长处理时间(>30 s)的微波处理导致已解聚的大豆蛋白分子重新形成更大的分子聚集体,降低功能性质。这表明微波物理场可以通过改变大豆蛋白氧化聚集体的结构和聚集行为调节其功能性质,为大豆蛋白功能性质的改善及微波在大豆蛋白氧化聚集体行为调控的应用方面提供参考。  相似文献

Fish oil was incorporated into milk under different homogenization temperatures (50 and 72 degrees C) and pressures (5, 15, and 22.5 MPa). Subsequently, the oxidative stability of the milk and changes in the protein composition of the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) were examined. Results showed that high pressure and high temperature (72 degrees C and 22.5 MPa) resulted in less lipid oxidation, whereas low pressure and low temperature (50 degrees C and 5 MPa) resulted in faster lipid oxidation. Analysis of protein oxidation indicated that especially casein was prone to oxidation. The level of free thiol groups was increased by high temperature (72 degrees C) and with increasing pressure. Furthermore, SDS-PAGE and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) indicated that high temperature resulted in an increase in beta-lactoglobulin adsorbed at the oil-water interface. This was even more pronounced with higher pressure. Less casein seemed to be present at the oil-water interface with increasing pressure. Overall, the results indicated that a combination of more beta-lactoglobulin and less casein at the oil-water interface gave the most stable emulsions with respect to lipid oxidation.  相似文献

Oxidation of bovine serum albumin, casein, and lactalbumin and the effect of different procyanidins, anthocyanins, and their aglycons (10 and 20 microM) on lactalbumin oxidation were investigated in a liposome system. Samples were incubated in the dark at 37 degrees C with copper, and the extent of oxidation was measured by determining the loss of tryptophan fluorescence and the formation of protein carbonyls, conjugated diene hydroperoxides, and hexanal. The correlation between different protein and lipid oxidation measurements was good and statistically significant. Casein was the most stable protein in the liposome model, and it was also the best inhibitor of liposome oxidation. All tested anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds inhibited both lipid and protein oxidation. There were no systematic differences with anthocyanins and their aglycons in relation to the concentrations used or glycosylation with either glucose or rutinose. Procyanidins B1 and B2 and ellagic acid were potentially better antioxidants than anthocyanins due to their several hydroxyl groups as measured by both protein and lipid oxidation. In conclusion, oxidative deterioration of liposomes due to protein-lipid interaction is inhibited by anthocyanins, procyanidins, and ellagitannin present, for example, in berries.  相似文献

Nearly all the mercury (Hg) in whole muscle from whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) and walleye (Sander vitreus) was present as methyl mercury (MeHg). The Hg content in whole muscle from whitefish and walleye was 0.04-0.09 and 0.14-0.81 ppm, respectively. The myofibril fraction contained approximately three-fourths of the Hg in whitefish and walleye whole muscle. The sarcoplasmic protein fraction (e.g., press juice) was the next most abundant source of Hg. Isolated myosin, triacylglycerols, and cellular membranes contained the least Hg. Protein isolates prepared by pH shifting in the presence of citric acid did not decrease Hg levels. Addition of cysteine during washing decreased the Hg content in washed muscle probably through the interaction of the sulfhydryl group in cysteine with MeHg. Primary and secondary lipid oxidation products were lower during 2 °C storage in isolates prepared by pH shifting compared to those of washed or unwashed mince from whole muscle. This was attributed to removing some of the cellular membranes by pH shifting. Washing the mince accelerated lipid peroxide formation but decreased secondary lipid oxidation products compared to that of the unwashed mince. This suggested that there was a lipid hydroperoxide generating system that was active upon dilution of aqueous antioxidants and pro-oxidants.  相似文献

The effect of protein and peptide addition on the oxidation of eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl ester (EPE) encapsulated by maltodextrin (MD) was investigated. The encapsulated lipid (powder lipid) was prepared in two steps, i.e., mixing of EPE with MD solutions (+/- protein and peptides) to produce emulsions and freeze-drying of the resultant emulsions. EPE oxidation in MD powder progressed more rapidly in the humid state [relative humidity (RH) = 70%] than in the dry state (RH = 10%). The addition of soy protein, soy peptide, and gelatin peptides improved the oxidation stability of EPE encapsulated by MD, and the inhibition of lipid oxidation by the protein and the peptides was more dramatic in the humid state. Especially, the oxidation of EPE was almost perfectly suppressed when the lipid was encapsulated with MD + soy peptide during storage in the humid state for 7 days. Several physical properties such as the lipid particle size of the emulsions, the fraction of nonencapsulated lipids, scanning electron microscopy images of powder lipids, and the mobility of the MD matrix were investigated to find the modification of encapsulation behavior by the addition of the protein and peptides, but no significant change was observed. On the other hand, the protein and peptides exhibited a strong radical scavenging activity in the powder systems as well as in the solution systems. These results suggest that a chemical mechanism such as radical scavenging ability plays an important role in the suppression of EPE oxidation in MD powder by soy proteins, soy peptides, and gelatin peptides.  相似文献

Grilled red turkey muscle (Doner Kabab) is a real "fast food" containing approximately 200 microM hydroperoxides, homogenized in simulated gastric fluid and oxidized more rapidly at pH 3.0 than at pH 5.0, after 180 min, producing 1200 and 600 microM hydroperoxides, respectively. The effects of "free" iron ions and metmyoglobin, two potential catalyzers of lipid peroxidation in muscle foods, were evaluated for linoleic acid peroxidation at pH 3.0 of simulated gastric fluid. The prooxidant effects of free iron ions on linoleic acid peroxidation in simulated gastric fluid was evaluated in the presence of ascorbic acid. At low concentrations of ascorbic acid, the effects were prooxidative, which was reversed at high concentrations. In the presence of metmyoglobin, ascorbic acid with or without free iron enhanced the antioxidative effect. Lipid peroxidation by an iron-ascorbic acid system was inhibited totally by 250-500 microM catechin at pH 3.0. The catechin antioxidant effect was determined also in the iron-ascorbic acid system containing metmyoglobin. In this system, catechin totally inhibited lipid peroxidation at a concentration 20-fold lower than without metmyoglobin. The ability of catechin to inhibit lipid peroxidation was also determined at a low pH with beta-carotene as a sensitive target molecule for oxidation. The results show that a significant protection was achieved only with almost 100-fold higher antioxidant concentration. Polyphenols from different groups were determined for the antioxidant activity at pH 3.0. The results show a high antioxidant activity of polyphenols with orthodihydroxylated groups at the B ring, unsaturation, and the presence of a 4-oxo group in the heterocyclic ring, as demonstrated by quercetin.  相似文献
