Products of animal origin such as meat meal were commonly used as sources of protein and amino acids for the production of compound feeds. Because the feeding of such products is prohibited in Germany, the official feedstuff control of the government must evaluate feeds for the forbidden use of products of animal origin. Microscope examination is the official method to prove animal-originated adulterations of feeds. This paper proposes a high-performance liquid chromatography method for the determination of the dipeptide carnosine and related dipeptides (anserine and balenine) and shows the dependence of the contents of anserine, balenine, and carnosine in compound feeds on the content of meat meal in feeds. The presented method can complete and confirm the result of the microscopic method for evidence of components of animal origin in feeds.  相似文献

Freeze-dried beef samples were partially defatted with either petroleum ether, acetone, or ethyl ether before determination of protein efficiency ratio (PER) to study the extraction effects on the composition and protein nutritional quality of the extracted beef. Defatting a protein source, such as meat or a meat product, may often be necessary to produce a test diet that contains 10% protein and 8% fat. Amino acid, carnosine, anserine, creatine, creatinine, inosine, and proximate compositions were determined on the extracted samples. Resulting data were compared to the composition and PER data of the beef that had no solvent treatment. Although the chemical analysis data from the study showed some variation between the proteins and other nitrogenous components of the unextracted and the extracted beef, these variations were too small to affect the protein nutritional quality of the beef as measured by PER.  相似文献

The effect of curing agents (salt, glucose, nitrate, nitrite, and ascorbic acid) on the binding of skeletal peptides (carnosine and anserine) and a sarcoplasmic protein (myoglobin) with key flavor compounds (hexanal, octanal, 2-pentanone, 2-methylbutanal, and 3-methylbutanal) has been studied by solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Curing agents had an effect on the interaction process between carnosine and volatile compounds, which was higher than the interactions observed with anserine and myoglobin. Sodium chloride decreased the interaction of volatiles with carnosine except for octanal, which was increased, and 2-pentanone, which was unaltered. Ascorbic acid exerted the highest effect by decreasing the interaction of carnosine with all of the volatile compounds except for octanal and 2-pentanone. The interaction with anserine was affected by sodium chloride, nitrate, and nitrite, producing a decrease in the interaction with hexanal, octanal, and methional. Finally, sodium chloride, glucose, and nitrite increased the interaction of myoglobin with hexanal, octanal, and methional. The effect of simulated stages of the curing process on the binding was also studied. A combined effect of the curing agents resulted in a change in the relative proportions of volatile compounds that can lead to different flavor perceptions of dry-cured meat products.  相似文献

Five commercial peptides, namely, reduced glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), carnosine, homocarnosine, and anserine, were used to test angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory (ACEI) activities using N-[3-(2-furyl)acryloyl]-Phe-Gly-Gly (FAPGG) as a substrate. All of these peptides showed dose-dependent ACEI activities. Using 50% inhibition (IC(50)) of captopril as 0.00781 microM for the reference, the IC(50) values of GSH, carnosine, homocarnosine, and anserine were determined to be 32.4 microM, 5.216 mM, 6.147 mM, and 6.967 mM, respectively. GSH or carnosine showed mixed noncompetitive inhibition against ACE. When 0.0164 mM GSH or 0.4098 mM carnosine was added, the apparent inhibition constant (K(i)) was 49.7 microM or 3.899 mM, respectively. Commercial glutathione-Sepharose 4 fast flow, GSH-coupled CNBr-activated and GSH-coupled EAH-activated Sepharose gels were used for ACE purification. Commercial ACE could be adsorbed only by EAH-coupled GSH gels and eluted off the gels by increasing salt concentrations. These EAH-coupled GSH gels might be developed as affinity aids for ACE purification.  相似文献

Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) is a dipeptide found in the muscle foods that has been postulated to be a bioactive food component. The objective of this research was to determine the concentration of carnosine in human plasma after ingestion of beef. Nine males and nine females were recruited for the study. Food devoid of meat products was given to the subjects so that they did not consume carnosine for 48 h prior to the test. Subjects fasted for 12 h and then had blood withdrawn prior to a meal containing 200 g of ground beef. Additional blood samples were collected over the following 24 h and carnosine concentrations were determined by HPLC. The cooked ground beef used in the study contained 52% water, 24% protein, 22% fat, and 124 mg of carnosine/100 g of beef. No plasma carnosine was detected in subjects before the consumption of the beef. Carnosine was detected in plasma 15 min after beef consumption. Plasma carnosine concentrations continued to increase with a maximum (32.7 mg of carnosine/L of plasma) being recorded 2.5 h after consumption. Carnosine concentrations then decreased until no carnosine could be detected at 5.5 h postconsumption. These results indicate that dietary carnosine is absorbed into human plasma after the consumption of beef. Since carnosine has several potential health benefits, evidence of its bioavailability suggests that it could be a bioactive food component.  相似文献

Investigations of different sources of acrylamide formation in model systems consisting of amino acids and sugars have indicated the presence of two pathways of acrylamide generation; the main pathway specifically involves asparagine to directly produce acrylamide after a sugar-assisted decarboxylation step, and the second, nonspecific pathway involves the initial formation of acrylic acid from different sources and its subsequent interaction with ammonia and/or amines to produce acrylamide or its N-alkylated derivatives. Aspartic acid, beta-alanine, and carnosine were found to follow the acrylic acid pathway. Labeling studies using [(13)C-4]aspartic acid have confirmed the occurrence in this amino acid of a previously proposed sugar-assisted decarboxylation mechanism identified in the asparagine/glucose model system. In addition, creatine was found to be a good source of methylamine in model systems and was responsible for the formation of N-methylacrylamide through the acrylic acid pathway. Labeling studies using creatine (methyl-d(3)) and (15)NH(4)Cl have indicated that both the nitrogen and the methyl groups of methylamine had originated from creatine. Furthermore, analysis of cooked meat samples has also confirmed the formation of N-methylacrylamide during cooking.  相似文献

The antioxidative effect of purified carnosine (i.e., separated from the common contaminant hydrazine) has been evaluated in two systems: (i) Carnosine was found to possess poor reducing properties toward the prooxidant ferrylmyoglobin; at pH approximately 5 the presence of carnosine did not increase the rate of reduction of MbFe(IV)=O compared to autoreduction, whereas at pH 7.4 the rate constant for reduction by carnosine was 0.010 +/- 0.002 M(-1).s(-1) (I = 0.16; 25.0 degrees C). (ii) In cooked pork patties prepared from meat (longissimus dorsi and masseter) with purified or nonpurified carnosine added, the effect of purified carnosine was insignificant when compared to control patties, whereas patties with carnosine contaminated with hydrazine had a lower oxidation level than patties with purified carnosine. Carnosine is concluded not to deactivate the prooxidant ferrylmyoglobin and not to have any antioxidative effect in cooked pork.  相似文献

A simple method to evaluate antioxidant activities of water-soluble ingredients of foods has been developed. Protective effects of antioxidants against hypochlorite radical or hydroxyl radical have been studied by comparing changes in absorbance of myoglobin (a standard reference) at 409 nm. Protective ratio, defined by absorbance changes of myoglobin with or without the antioxidant, was a good indicator to quantitatively evaluate the antioxidant activity against the hypochlorite radical or the hydroxyl radical, respectively. Radar charts indicating the antioxidant activities against DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), hypochlorite radical, and hydroxyl radical clearly differentiated the characteristics of five antioxidants including carnosine, glutathione, and vitamin C. By comparison of the radar charts, antioxidant activity of bonito meat hydrolysate was found to have similar characteristics to that of carnosine. The simple method proposed in this study would be useful for evaluating and characterizing the activities of water-soluble antioxidants contained in various food materials.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different cooking procedures on the concentrations of creatine and creatinine and the ratio of creatinine/creatine in cooked ham. Two cooking methods (constant temperature and increasing temperature, constant T and DeltaT, respectively) were tested on different locations in porcine longissimus dorsi muscle and ham (semimembranosus, biceps femoris, and gluteus muscles). The results showed larger creatine conversion into creatinine in the surface layer than in the core as well as higher creatinine/creatine ratio values when applying the DeltaT in comparison to the constant T method. A correlation between the creatinine/creatine ratio and the heat treatment was established, and 15 samples of commercial cooked hams were analyzed to support these results. This creatinine/creatine ratio analyzed in the surface of the ham could be used as a rapid and nondestructive indicator to determine the effectiveness of the heat treatment in cooked ham processes.  相似文献

The ability of skeletal dipeptides (carnosine and anserine) and a sarcoplasmic protein (myoglobin) to interact with key flavor compounds (hexanal, octanal, methional, 2-pentanone, 2-methylbutanal, and 3-methylbutanal) has been studied using the solid phase microextraction (SPME) technique. Conditions for SPME analysis (fiber coating, sampling time, and linearity of detection) were optimized. The effect of pH on the binding was also investigated. Thermodynamic models were applied to evaluate the binding parameters n (number of binding sites), K (affinity constant), and DeltaG (Gibb's free energy) to all of the flavor compounds studied, and they showed an absence of cooperative effect. Carnosine was the peptide with the highest affinity for all of the volatile compounds except 2-pentanone. Its interaction with hexanal and methional was significantly affected by pH. Anserine showed a lower level of interactions with hexanal, methional, 2-methylbutanal, and 3-methylbutanal, whereas myoglobin interacted with only hexanal and 2-methylbutanal. Differences in aroma retention can thus result in different sensory perceptions of muscle foods.  相似文献

Carnosine occurs naturally in meat and meat products in significant quantity, and it possesses strong antioxidant activity that inhibits lipid oxidation and enhances shelf life. In this study, the effects of carnosine on thermal flavor generation were investigated using the model system of cysteine and ribose, which was heated to the roasting temperature of 180 degrees C for 2 h at pH 5 and pH 8.5. The results indicated that carnosine affected volatile formation in a complex manner. Volatiles identified from the liquid phase of the reaction systems of ribose and cysteine showed that the sulfur-containing compounds such as thiophenes, thiazoles, and polysulfides were the most abundant compounds. The addition of carnosine into the reaction mixtures in general caused a reduction in contents of thiophenes and some important meaty flavor compounds such as 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, 2-furfurylthiol, and their associated dimers. On the other hand, it facilitated the generation of several important nitrogen-containing volatiles such as pyrazine, methylpyrazine, 2,6-dimethylpyrazine, and other alkyl pyrazines and thiazoles, which are known to elicit roasty and nutty flavor notes. The results suggested that carnosine acts as a nitrogenous source to facilitate the formation of nitrogen-containing compounds, possibly by degradation to form ammonia.  相似文献

A precise and selective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the determination of dapsone in muscle tissue and milk has been developed. The sample preparation was based on extraction with organic solvent and automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) cleanup. At least three product ions were monitored for the analyte. The method was validated according to the European Decision 2002/657/EC. Estimated analytical limits were 0.0018 ng/g for CCα and 0.0031 ng/g for CCβ in meat and milk. An excellent linear concentration range was observed for both matrices with a correlation coefficient better than 0.997. Recoveries were 105-117% in meat and 101-108% in milk, with satisfactory precision and coefficients of variance (CV) less than 8%. Additionally, a simplified quantification approach was successfully evaluated depending only on the response factor (F) without the use of calibration curve. The developed method provides reliable and sensitive identification and quantification of dapsone in meat and milk.  相似文献

A gas chromatographic (GC) method has been developed for determination of cholesterol in meats. The method involves ethanolic KOH saponification of the sample material, homogeneous-phase toluene extraction of the unsaponifiables, derivatization of cholesterol to its trimethylsilylether, and quantitation by GC-flame ionization detection using 5-alpha-cholestane as internal standard. This direct saponification method is compared with the current AOAC official method for determination of cholesterol in 20 different meat products. The direct saponification method eliminates the need for initial lipid extraction, thus offering a 30% savings in labor, and requires fewer solvents than the AOAC method. It produced comparable or slightly higher cholesterol results than the AOAC method in all meat samples examined. Precision, determined by assaying a turkey meat sample 16 times over 4 days, was excellent (CV = 1.74%). Average recovery of cholesterol added to meat samples was 99.8%.  相似文献

The measurement of gamma-glutamyl-beta-alanylhistidine isopeptide in the macromolecular fraction of various commercial meat extracts indicated that all of the commercial meat extracts tested contained the isopeptide, in concentrations ranging from 0.04 to 0.87 micromol/g of dry matter. This variation was suggested to be due to the differences between the processes of extraction and the differences in the initial amounts of carnosine. A positive correlation between the content of gamma-glutamyl-beta-alanylhistidine and the color of the macromolecular fraction was observed. These results suggested that gamma-glutamyl-beta-alanylhistidine is widely distributed in meat products and that the content can be used as an index of protein denaturation during the heating process.  相似文献

N-Nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU) is a highly potent direct-acting carcinogen that has been shown to induce cancer in a number of animal species. Although previous research has indicated that nitrosation of creatinine (CRN), a common constituent of meats, dried fish, and seafoods, can form traces of NMU, there is uncertainty as to (1) the yield of NMU and (2) whether detectable amounts of NMU can be formed from cured meats following nitrosation under acidic conditions given the low residual levels of nitrite found in cured meats at the present time. Lack of sensitive and specific analytical methods most likely has hindered progress in research in these areas. An HPLC postcolumn denitrosation-thermal energy analyzer technique and a GC-MS confirmation technique were developed for the determination of NMU in cured meats. Both techniques are highly sensitive (0.5 and 0.03 ppb, respectively) and specific. The optimum pH for NMU formation from CRN ranged between pH 1 and pH 3, and the yields of NMU under variable reactant concentrations ranged between 0.00004 and 0.0046%. When 27 samples of various cured meats (10 g aliquots each) were acidified with HCl (final pH values of 0.8-2.5) and incubated at room temperature for 2 h, without any additional nitrite, 24 gave results below detectable levels but 3 formed 2-26 ng of NMU/10 g of meat. Incubation of the negative meats with additional nitrite (50-500 microg/g of meat) formed 0.6-176 ng of NMU/10 g of sample. Although the amounts of NMU formed were extremely small, this seems to be the first reported formation of NMU from cured meats with and without additional nitrite.  相似文献

Carnosine is a beta-alanylhistidine dipeptide found in skeletal muscle and nervous tissue that has been reported to possess antioxidant activity. Carnosine is a potential dietary antioxidant because it is absorbed into plasma intact. This research investigated the ability of carnosine to inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in comparison to its constituent amino acid, histidine. Carnosine (3 microM) inhibited Cu2+-promoted LDL (20 of protein/mL) oxidation at carnosine/copper ratios as low as 1:1, as determined by loss of tryptophan fluorescence and formation of conjugated dienes. Carnosine (6 microM) lost its ability to inhibit conjugated diene formation and tryptophan oxidation after 2 and 4 h of incubation, respectively, of LDL with 3 microM Cu2+. Compared to controls, histidine (3 microM) inhibited tryptophan oxidation and conjugated diene formation 36 and 58%, respectively, compared to 21 and 0% for carnosine (3 microM) after 3 h of oxidation. Histidine was more effective at inhibiting copper-promoted formation of carbonyls on bovine serum albumin than carnosine, but carnosine was more effective at inhibiting copper-induced ascorbic acid oxidation than histidine. Neither carnosine nor histidine was a strong inhibitor of 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride-promoted oxidation of LDL, indicating that their main antioxidant mechanism is through copper chelation.  相似文献

An indirect, competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for quantitation of soy protein in meat products. The methodology allows rapid aqueous extraction of meat samples into a liquid form suitable for assay. The assay is highly specific for soy protein and is designed to measure soy protein levels between 1 and 10% of the wet weight of the sample. Standardized, stabilized reagents for carrying out the procedure are commercially available in a kit. The analysis, including sample preparation, can be completed within a workday, and the actual immunoassay in less than 60 min.  相似文献

The effect of three plant lectins, soybean lectin (SBA), Japanese jack bean lectin (CGA), and wheat germ lectin (WGA), on the transport of various food factors, such as isoflavones, quercetin, dipeptides, and calcium ions, were investigated by use of an intestinal tract model, Caco-2 cell monolayers. The lectins increased the isoflavone transport but had no effect on aglycon transport. SBA increased the transport of quercetin glycosides, whereas CGA and WGA had no effect. The lectins increased the transport of calcium ions but showed no effect on the transport of dipeptides, carnosine, and anserine. Although SBA did not change the transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) value of the Caco-2 cell monolayers, CGA and WGA decreased the TER value. These results indicate that plant lectins affect the transport of food factors in different manners, presumably due to their specific sugar binding activity.  相似文献

To confirm the formation of gamma-glutamyl-beta-alanylhistidine and related peptide, a model solution (amide-containing amino acids and carnosine) has been heated, and the products are investigated. Spectroscopical analysis indicates that the major product from asparagine and carnosine is beta-aspartyl-beta-alanylhistidine, and that from glutamine and carnosine is gamma-glutamyl-beta-alanylhistidine. Furthermore, to confirm the increase of the above peptides during the heating process of food, an HPLC method for the determination of these isopeptides in food protein is constructed. The isopeptides are liberated by proteolytic digestion and fractionated by solid-phase extraction using Toyopack IC-SP cartridges. The fraction containing the isopeptides is derivatized with phenylisothiocyanate (PITC) and separated and quantified by HPLC using an octadecyl-silica column. As a result of quantification, an increase of the gamma-glutamyl-beta-alanylhistidine isopeptide in the macromolecular fraction of heated beef soup stock solution has been observed. These results suggest that the formation of the isopeptide occurs in the heating of various foods containing carnosine.  相似文献

Mixtures of amino acids, creatine, and glucose simulating the composition of six different kinds of meats (beef, chicken breast, chicken thigh, turkey breast, pork, and fish) were dry-heated to simulate the formation of heterocyclic amines in meats. The presence of 16 heterocyclic amines was investigated in the model systems and in the six meats and their corresponding meat drippings to determine the importance of meat composition to heterocyclic amine formation. Nine mutagenic amines (IQ, MeIQ, 8-MeIQx, 4,8-DiMeIQx, PhIP, IQx, IFP, DMIP, and TMIP) were found to be present at concentrations >0.1 ng/g in some of the model systems and in some of the meats or pan residues. Heterocyclic amine concentrations clearly are affected by precursor composition in this model system, and the same nine heterocyclic amines formed in the meat and in the model system show that this is a well-controlled surrogate for the reaction conditions that occur in meats during cooking.  相似文献
