The occurrence of d-amino acids in commercial ripe olives, a well-known sterilized alkali-treated product, was investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with precolumn automatic derivatization. Absolute amounts of D-amino acids were in total 18.6-38.2 mg/100 g edible portion. The major D-amino acids were D-aspartic acid, D-glutamic acid, D-serine, and D-leucine. Furthermore, to evaluate the effects of sterilization time and olive pH on amino acid racemization, a simulated processing of green ripe olives was carried out. Serine (both free and bound form) was the most-racemized amino acid after heat treatment. Sterilization (15-35 min at 121 degrees C) increased the racemization values of both free and protein-bound amino acids, although in case of protein-bound phenylalanine the increase was not statistically significant. With an increase of pH from 8 to 10 units, the racemization values of all amino acids increased significantly, except for free forms of aspartic and glutamic acids. In general, the effects of the sterilization time and olive pH on total concentration (L + D enantiomers) of each amino acid were also significant.  相似文献

The effect of microwave heat, packaging methods, and storage temperatures on proximate and fatty acid compositions of rice bran during 16 weeks of storage was examined. Freshly milled raw rice bran was adjusted to 21% moisture content and microwave heated for 3 min. Raw and microwave-heated brans were packed in zipper-top bags and/or vacuum-sealed bags and stored at 4-5 and/or 25 degrees C for 16 weeks. The moisture content decreased significantly from an initial 8.4 to 6.4% in microwave-heated samples regardless of packaging methods and storage temperatures. Protein, fat, linoleic, and linolenic contents did not change significantly in all raw and microwave-heated samples during 16 weeks of storage. The microwave-heated rice bran packed in zipper-top bags can be stored at 4-5 degrees C for up to 16 weeks without adverse effect on proximate and fatty acid composition quality under the conditions employed in this study.  相似文献

The ellagic acid, total phenolic, and vitamin C contents in four raspberry cultivars (Heritage, Autumn Bliss, Rubi, and Zeva) grown in Spain were detected and quantified by HPLC in fresh, just frozen, and stored fruits at -20 degrees C for a one year period. Ellagic acid [207-244 mg kg(-)(1) of fresh weight (fw)], total phenolic (137-1776 mg kg(-)(1) of fw), and vitamin C (221-312 mg kg(-)(1) of fw) contents in raw material were higher in the late cultivars Zeva and Rubi than in the early cultivars Autumn Bliss and Heritage. The freezing process slightly affected the values of extracted ellagic acid, total phenolic, and vitamin C content. At the end of long-term frozen storage (12 months), no significant change of total phenolic content extracted was observed, but significant decreases of 14-21% in ellagic acid and of 33-55% in vitamin C were quantified. Free radical scavenging capacity measured as antiradical efficiency (AE) depends on the seasonal period of harvest. Late cultivars, Rubi (6.1 x 10(-)(4)) and Zeva (10.17 x 10(-)(4)), showed higher AE than early cultivars, Heritage (4.02 x 10(-)(4)) and Autumn Bliss (4.36 x 10(-)(4)). The freezing process produced a decrease of AE values in the four cultivars ranging between 4 and 26%. During the frozen storage, the AE values reached after the freezing process remained unchanged.  相似文献

To investigate the role of antioxidants and cryoprotectants in minimizing protein denaturation in frozen lean fish, cod fillets were treated with either antioxidants (vitamin C (500 mg kg(-1)) or vitamin C (250 mg kg(-1)) + vitamin E (250 mg kg(-1))), antioxidants (vitamins C + E 250 mg kg(-1)each) with citrate (100 mg kg(-1)), cryoprotectants (4% (w/w) sucrose + 4% (w/w) sorbitol), or a mixture of antioxidants (vitamins C + E 250 mg kg(1)), citrate (100 mg kg(-1)), and cryoprotectants (sucrose 40 g kg(-1) + sorbitol 40 g kg(-1)). Untreated and treated fish samples were stored at -10 degrees C; cod fillets stored at -30 degrees C were used as a control. Stored frozen samples were analyzed at intervals for up to 210 days for changes in protein extractability, thermodynamic parameters (transition temperature T(m) and enthalpy DeltaH), structure by FT-Raman spectroscopy, and rheological properties by large and small deformation tests. Results indicated that protein denaturation and texture changes were minimized in the presence of cryoprotectants, as well as in the presence of antioxidants with citrate, antioxidants alone, or the mixture of antioxidants, citrate, and cryoprotectants. In the presence of increased formaldehyde levels in fish treated with vitamin C, toughening was still lower compared to that of the -10 degrees C control due to the antioxidant property of vitamin C. Thus, ice crystal formation and lipid oxidation products are the major factors that cause protein denaturation in lean frozen fish, and antioxidants in addition to cryoprotectants can be used to minimize toughness.  相似文献

Postharvest diseases of mango fruit (Mangifera indica L.) cause economic losses during storage and can be controlled by chemical, physical, or biological methods. This study investigated the effects of different physical and/or chemical disease control methods on production of volatiles, color development and other quality parameters in ripe 'Kensington Pride' mango fruit. Hard mature green mango fruit were harvested from an orchard located at Carnavon, Western Australia. The fruit were heat-conditioned (8 h at 40 +/- 0.5 degrees C and 83.5 +/- 0.5% RH), dipped in hot water (52 degrees C/10 min), dipped in prochloraz (Sportak 0.55 mL x L(-1)/5 min), dipped in hot prochloraz (Sportak 0.55 mL x L(-1) at 52 degrees C/5 min), dipped in carbendazim (Spin Flo 2 mL x L(-1)/5 min), and dipped in hot carbendazim (Spin Flo 2 mL x L(-1) at 52 degrees C/5 min). Nontreated fruit served as control. Following the treatments, the fruit were air-dried and kept in cold storage (13 +/- 0.5 degrees C) for three weeks before being ripened at 21 +/- 1 degrees C. The ripe pulp of the fruit that was treated with hot prochloraz or carbendazim at ambient and high temperatures showed enhanced concentrations of volatiles, while heat conditioning and hot water dipping did not significantly affect the volatile development. Ripening time, and color development were measured daily while disease incidence and severity, weight loss, firmness, and concentrations of soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, total carotenoids, and volatiles were determined at the eating soft ripe stage. Hot water dipping or fungicide treatments (at ambient or at a high temperature) reduced postharvest diseases incidence and severity. Fruit quality (soluble solids concentration, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and total caretonoids) was not substantially affected by any of the treatments.  相似文献

The interactions between bovine folate-binding protein (FBP) and different folate derivatives in pure diastereoisomeric forms were studied at pH 7.4 by a surface plasmon resonance technology (Biacore). The results show that folic acid had the most rapid association rate (k(a) = 1.0 x 10(6) M(-)(1) s(-)(1)), whereas (6S)-5-HCO-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid had the most rapid dissociation rate (k(d) = 3.2 x l0(-)(3) s(-)(1)). The equilibrium dissociation constant (K(D)), calculated from the quotient of k(d)/k(a), showed that the two forms of folates not occurring in nature, that is, folic acid and (6R)-5-CH(3)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid, had the highest affinities for FBP, 20 and 160 pmol/L, respectively. The results thus show that there were great differences in the interactions between folate-binding protein and the major forms of folate derivatives. The nutritional implications of these differences are discussed.  相似文献

The reactivity of purine derivatives (uric acid, xanthine, hypoxanthine, and purine) toward triplet-excited riboflavin in aqueous solution at pH 6.4 is described on the basis of kinetic (laser flash photolysis), electrochemical (square-wave voltammetry), and theoretical data (density functional theory, DFT). Direct deactivation of triplet-excited riboflavin in aqueous solution, pH 6.4 at 24 degrees C, in the presence of uric acid, xanthine, and hypoxanthine strongly suggests a direct electron transfer from the purine to the triplet-excited riboflavin with k = 2.9 x 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) (DeltaH(++) = 14.7 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(++) = -15.6 J mol(-1) K(-1)), 1.2 x 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) (DeltaH(++) = 34.3 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(++) = +45.3 J mol(-1) K(-1)), and 1.7 x10(8) M(-1) s(-1) (DeltaH(++) = 122 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(++) = +319 J mol(-1) K(-1)), respectively. From the respective one-electron oxidation potentials collected in aqueous solution at pH 6.4 for uric acid (E = +0.686 vs normal hydrogen electrode, NHE), xanthine (E = +1.106 vs NHE), and hypoxanthine (E = +1.654 vs NHE), the overall free energy changes for electron transfer from the quencher to the triplet-excited riboflavin are as follows: uric acid (DeltaG(o) = -114 kJ mol(-1)), xanthine (DeltaG(o) = -73.5 kJ mol(-1)), hypoxanthine (DeltaG(o) = -20.6 kJ mol(-1)), and purine (DeltaG(o) > 0). The inertness observed for purine toward triplet-excited riboflavin corroborates with its electrochemical inactivity in the potential range from 0 up to 2 V vs NHE. These data are in agreement with the DFT results, which show that the energy of the purine highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) (-0.2685 arbitrary unit) is lower than the energy of the semioccupied molecular orbital (SOMO) (-0.2557 a.u.) of triplet-excited riboflavin, indicating an endergonic process for the electron-transfer process. The rate-determining step for deactivation by purine derivatives can be assigned to an electron transfer from the purine derivative to the SOMO orbital of the triplet-excited riboflavin. The results show that uric acid may compete with oxygen and other antioxidants to deactivate triplet-excited riboflavin in milk serum and other biological fluids leading to a free radical process.  相似文献

Detailed kinetic studies of [6S] and [6RS] 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-CH3-H4folate) degradation during thermal (from 60 to 90 degrees C) and high pressure/thermal (from 30 to 45 degrees C; from 200 to 700 MPa) treatments were carried out. The results confirmed that the temperature and pressure induced degradation kinetics of [6S] 5-CH3-H4folate were identical (within 95% confidence interval) with those of [6RS] 5-CH3-H4folate. Under equal processing conditions, the estimated degradation rate constants (k), activation energy (E(a)), and activation volume (V(a)) values of [6S] and [6RS] 5-CH3-H4folate were the same (95% confidence interval). The modified thermodynamic model proposed by Nguyen and co-workers (J. Agric. Food Chem. 2003, 51, 3352-3357) to describe the pressure and temperature dependence of the rate constant for folate degradation was reevaluated.  相似文献

A trehalose synthase (TSase) gene from a hyperacidophilic, thermophilic archaea, Picrophilus torridus, was synthesized using overlap extension PCR and transformed into Escherichia coli for expression. The purified recombinant P. torridus TSase (PTTS) showed an optimum pH and temperature of 6.0 and 45 degrees C, respectively, and the enzyme maintained high activity at pH 5.0 and 60 degrees C. Kinetic analysis showed that the enzyme has a 2.5-fold higher catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(M)) for maltose than for trehalose, indicating maltose as the preferred substrate. The maximum conversion rate of maltose into trehalose by the enzyme was independent of the substrate concentration, tended to increase at lower temperatures, and reached approximately 71% at 20 degrees C. Enzyme activity was inhibited by Hg2+, Al3+, and SDS. Five amino acid residues that are important for alpha-amylase family enzyme catalysis were shown to be conserved in PTTS (Asp203, Glu245, Asp311, His106, and His310) and required for its activity, suggesting this enzyme might employ a similar hydrolysis mechanism.  相似文献

Prevention of hydrolytic rancidity in rice bran during storage.   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
The effect of microwave heating, packaging, and storage temperature on the production of free fatty acids (FFA) in rice bran was examined. Freshly milled raw rice bran was adjusted to 21% moisture content and heated in a microwave oven at 850 W for 3 min. Raw and microwave-heated rice bran were packed in zipper-top bags or vacuum-sealed bags and stored at 4-5 or 25 degrees C for 16 weeks. FFA content of bran was measured at 4-week intervals. Total FFA increased rapidly over the 16-week period from the initial value of 2.5% in raw bran stored at 25 degrees C to 54.9% in vacuum bags and 48.1% in zipper-top bags. However, total FFA of raw bran stored at 4-5 degrees C increased at a slower rate from an initial value of 2. 5 to 25.4% in vacuum bags and 19.5% in zipper-top bags. After 16 weeks of storage, total FFA of microwave-heated bran stored at 25 degrees C increased from 2.8 to 6.9 and 5.2%, respectively, for samples stored in vacuum bags and zipper-top bags. Total FFA of microwave-heated samples stored at 4-5 degrees C did not change significantly with storage time. Results showed that hydrolytic rancidity of rice bran can be prevented by microwave heating and that the recommended storage condition for microwaved rice bran is 4-5 degrees C in zipper-top bags.  相似文献

A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method is described for determining residues of Bayer 73 (2-aminoethanol salt of 2',5-dichloro-4'-nitrosalicylanilide) in fish muscle, aquatic invertebrates, mud, and water by analyzing for 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline (CNA), a hydrolysis product of Bayer 73. Bayer 73 residues are extracted from fish muscle tissue, invertebrates, and mud with acetone-formic acid (98+2), and partitioned from water samples with chloroform. After sample cleanup by solvent and acid-base partitioning, the concentrated extract is hydrolyzed with 2N NaOH and H2O2 for 10 min at 95 degrees C. The CNA is then partitioned into hexane-ethyl ether (7+3) and determined by electron capture GLC. Average recoveries were 88% for fish, 82% for invertebrates, 82% for mud, and 98% for water at 3 or more fortification levels.  相似文献

Duck eggs were pickled in 4.2% NaOH/5% NaCl solution for 20 days to prepare the traditional Chinese Pidan. The extent of racemization of compositional amino acid in egg albumen and yolk over the alkaline pickling period was investigated with micellar capillary electrophoresis (MCE) using beta-cyclodextrin as chiral selector. The racemization value of amino acids in egg albumen was in the order serine > aspartic acid > glutamic acid > phenylalanine > leucine > valine > threonine = isoleucine, whereas the order in egg yolk was aspartic acid > glutamic acid > phenylalanine > leucine > valine. Therefore, the tendency of amino acid racemization appeared to be closely related to the properties of its residual side chain, as well as the pH and alkaline treating period. Moreover, racemization of most of the amino acids was remarkably induced by the alkaline treatment during the initial pickling period.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of kilning and roasting temperatures on antioxidant activity of malt model systems prepared from combinations of glucose, proline, and ferulic acid. Model systems (initial a(w) = 0.09, 6% moisture) were heated at 60 degrees C for up to 24 h, at 90 degrees C for up to 120 min, and at 220 degrees C for up to 15 min. The antioxidant activity of the glucose-proline-ferulic acid model system increased significantly on heating at 60 degrees C for 24 h or at 90 degrees C for 120 min. In contrast, the glucose-proline, ferulic acid-glucose, and ferulic acid-proline systems presented either nonsignificantly increased or unchanged antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of both the glucose-proline-ferulic acid and glucose-proline model systems increased significantly after heating at 220 degrees C for 10 min, followed by a significant decrease at 15 min. The data suggest that (1) at 60 degrees C, ferulic acid reacts with Maillard reaction products, resulting in a significant increase in antioxidant activity; (2) at 90 degrees C, the antioxidant activity of the glucose-proline-ferulic system comes from both ferulic acid and Maillard reaction products; and (3) at 220 degrees C, the major contributors to antioxidant activity in glucose-proline-ferulic acid and glucose-proline systems are glucose-proline reaction products.  相似文献

The on-line supercritical fluid extraction-supercritical fluid chromatography-gas chromatography method was applied to the determination of volatile compounds of raw and baked Baltic herring (Clupea harengus membras). The analytes were extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide at 45 degrees C and 10 MPa pressure. After extraction, the volatiles and coeluted lipids were separated on-line using supercritical fluid chromatography and the volatile fraction was introduced directly into a gas chromatograph. In all, 30 compounds were identified from fish samples with mass spectrometry. The most abundant compounds in the fresh Baltic herrings were heptadecane and 1-heptadecene. When the fish were stored for 3-6 days at 6 degrees C, the total peak area of the volatiles began to increase and the proportions of short chain acids (acetic, propanoic, 2-methylpropanoic, and 3-methylbutanoic) also increased. After 8-9 days of storage, 3-methylbutanoic acid comprised about 36 and 40% of all volatiles in raw and baked herring, respectively.  相似文献

An analytical method has been developed for the quantification of two herbicides (ethidimuron and methabenzthiazuron) and their two main soil derivatives. This method involves fluidized-bed extraction (FBE) prior to cleanup and analysis by reverse-phase liquid chromatography with UV detection at 282 nm. FBE conditions were established to provide efficient extraction without degradation of the four analytes. (14)C-labeled compounds were used for the optimization of extraction and purification steps and for the determination of related efficiencies. Extraction was optimal using a fexIKA extractor operating at 110 degrees C for three cycles (total time = 95 min) with 75 g of soil and 150 mL of a 60:40 v/v acetone/water mixture. Extracts were further purified on a 500 mg silica SPE cartridge. Separation was performed on a C18 Purosphere column (250 mm x 4 mm i.d.), at 0.8 mL min(-1) and 30 degrees C with an elution gradient made up of phosphoric acid aqueous solution (pH 2.2) and acetonitrile. Calibration curves were found to be linear in the 0.5-50 mg L(-1) concentration range. Besides freshly spiked soil samples, method validation included the analysis of samples with aged residues. Recovery values, determined from spiked samples, were close to 100%. Limits of detection ranged between 2 and 3 microg kg(-1) of dry soil and limits of quantification between 8 and 10 microg kg(-1) of dry soil. An attempt to improve these performances by using fluorescence detection following postcolumn derivatization by orthophthalaldehyde-mercaptoethanol reagent was unsuccessful.  相似文献

The carotenoid composition of persimmon fruit purees of two cultivars, cvs. Rojo Brillante and Sharon, grown in Spain was determined by HPLC to assess the effects of high-pressure processing on some sensory (carotenoids), nutritional (provitamin A value), and health-related (radical-scavenging capacity) parameters. Total carotenoid content was higher in untreated Rojo Brillante puree (22. 11 microg g(-)(1)) than in untreated Sharon puree (15.22 microg g(-)(1)). Purees of both untreated cultivars showed similar carotenoid patterns after saponification with beta-cryptoxanthin, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin as the main pigments. A high content of lycopene was quantified in Rojo Brillante (5.34 microg g(-)(1)), whereas only traces were detected in Sharon. The provitamin A value, reported as retinol equivalents (RE), was in untreated Rojo Brillante puree (77 RE/100 g) similar to that of Sharon (75 RE/100 g). Scavenging free radical capacity, measured as antiradical efficiency (AE), showed in untreated Rojo Brillante puree a value (12.14 x 10(-)(3)) 8.5 times higher than that in untreated Sharon (1. 42 x 10(-)(3)). Nonuniform behavior of high-pressure treatment was detected. Pressure treatments at 50 and 300 MPa/15 min/25 degrees C for Rojo Brillante and at 50 and 400 MPa/15 min/25 degrees C for Sharon increased the amount of extractable carotenoids (9-27%), which are related with the increase of vitamin A value (75-87 RE/100 g). No correlation with the increase of AE (from 1.42 x 10(-)(3) to 16.73 x 10(-)(3) and 19.58 x 10(-)(3)) after some pressure treatments (150 and 300 MPa/15 min/25 degrees C) was found.  相似文献

The optimal conditions for degradation of phytate (IP6, myo-inositol hexaphosphate) in a mixture of ground wheat and ground defatted soybeans (1:2, w/w) with added exogenous E. coli phytase were investigated at different temperatures (45, 60, 75, and 95 degrees C), moisture levels (25%, 35%, and 45%), and retention times (2-45 min). All treatment combinations were investigated in a small-scale mixer conditioner (experiment 1). The combined 45 degrees C and 45% moisture treatment was most efficient and reduced the content of IP6 by 86% during 45 min of incubation. This treatment combination was applied in a medium-scale mixer conditioner (experiment 2), and 76% reduction of IP6 at 45 min was obtained. During incubation, the content of lower groups of inositol phosphates, such as IP4 (myo-inositol tetraphosphate) and IP3 (myo-inositol triphosphate), increased significantly as the content of IP6 decreased. The major isomer formed was Ins(1,2,5,6)P(4).  相似文献

The oxidation of linolenic acid (LNA) and soy lecithin was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) with linear programmed heating rates (non-isothermal mode). The interpretation of the shape of DSC curves is discussed, and it has been concluded that temperatures of the extrapolated start of heat release are the most reliable data for the rapid estimation of the oxidative stability of lipid materials. The Ozawa-Flynn-Wall method was used to calculate the kinetic parameters of the process: for LNA autoxidation the activation energy, Ea, and pre-exponential factor, Z, are 66 +/- 4 kJ/mol and 1.5 x 10(7) s(-1), respectively, and the autoxidation of lecithin is described by Ea = 98 +/- 6 kJ/mol and Z = 9.1 x 10(10) s(-1). Values of Ea and Z can be applied for calculation of the overall first-order rate constant of autoxidation at various temperatures, k(T). For the two studied lipids the comparison of k(T) values shows the inversion of their oxidative stabilities; that is, below 167 degrees C lecithin is more stable than LNA, k(T)lecithin < k(T)LNA, and above that temperature (termed the isokinetic temperature) k(T)lecithin > k(T)LNA. The calculated inversion of oxidative stabilities can be an explanation of similar observations for other pairs of lipids if the results of accelerated tests measured at temperatures above 100 degrees C are compared with the results obtained at temperatures below 100 degrees C.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to report on the variation of DP 6 isomers (6b, 6c + 6d1 + 6d2), 7a, 8, and 9-12 fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and their hydrolysis parameters [percent hydrolysis, consumption rate, hydrolysis rate constant (k(obsd)), and half-life time (t(1/2))] in onion bulb tissues stored for 6 months at 10, 15, or 20 degrees C. The hydrolysis of DP 6 isomers, 7a, and 8 ranged from 74 to 85%, whereas that of DP 9-12 averaged 86%. The consumption rate of 6b, 6c + 6d1 + 6d2, 7a, 8, and -12 averaged 25, 58, 38, 26, and 48 microg/g of fresh weight per week, respectively. The k(obsd) showed large variation from 53 x 10(-3) week(-1) (lowest value) to 92 x 10(-3) week(-1) (highest value), whereas the half-life t(1/2) of the different FOS ranged between 7.5 and 13.1 weeks. DP 6b isomers increased during the first month, and then the content decreased sharply during the second month at 20 degrees C but remained stable during the last 4 months, whereas at 10 and 15 degrees C, 6b decreased progressively from the first to the six month. In contrast, DP 6c + 6d1 + 6d2 decreased abruptly within the first 3 months at 10, 15, and 20 degrees C; however, during the last 3 months they remained stable, ranging between 0.32 and 0.39. Variation of DP 7a, 8, and 9-12 FOS was close to that of DP 6 FOS isomers. DP 7a increased slightly during the first month, and afterward 7a started decreasing progressively during the last 5 months. DP 8 FOS showed a similar pattern independent of temperature regime: they increased slightly within the first month, but from the second month, DP 8 began decreasing progressively and continued decreasing to the sixth month. DP 9-12 FOS also varied similarly to DP 6c + 6d1 + 6d2. They decreased sharply within the first 2 months, and during the last 4 months, they continued to decrease slowly. Surprisingly, these variations occurred independently of temperature regimes and were affected only by storage duration. It was concluded that highly polymerized FOS are preferably hydrolyzed rather than low DP FOS isomers because they have a relatively high content of fructosyl end chains.  相似文献

The noncharacterized protein ACL75304 encoded by the gene Ccel_0941 from Clostridium cellulolyticum H10 (ATCC 35319), previously proposed as the xylose isomerase domain protein TIM barrel, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli . The expressed enzyme was purified by nickel-affinity chromatography with electrophoretic homogeneity and then characterized as d-psicose 3-epimerase. The enzyme was strictly metal-dependent and showed a maximal activity in the presence of Co(2+). The optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were 55 °C and pH 8.0. The half-lives for the enzyme at 60 °C were 6.8 h and 10 min when incubated with and without Co(2+), respectively, suggesting that this enzyme was extremely thermostable in the presence of Co(2+) but readily inactivated without metal ion. The Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)), turnover number (k(cat)), and catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) values of the enzyme for substrate d-psicose were estimated to be 17.4 mM, 3243.4 min(-1), and 186.4 mM min(-1), respectively. The enzyme carried out the epimerization of d-fructose to d-psicose with a conversion yield of 32% under optimal conditions, suggesting that the enzyme is a potential d-psicose producer.  相似文献
