To gain insight into the distribution of arabinoxylans (AX), endoxylanases, and endoxylanase inhibitors in industrial wheat roller milling, all streams, that is, 54 flour fractions, 4 bran fractions, and the germ, were analyzed for ash, starch, and protein contents, alpha-amylase activity levels, total (TOT-AX) and water-extractable arabinoxylan (WE-AX) contents, endoxylanase activity levels, and endoxylanase inhibitor (TAXI and XIP) contents. In general, bran fractions were significantly richer in TOT-AX and WE-AX contents, endoxylanase activity levels, and endoxylanase inhibitor contents than germ and, even more so, than flour fractions. In the 54 different flour fractions, minimal and maximal values for TOT-AX and WE-AX contents differed by ca. 2-fold, whereas they differed by ca. 15-fold for endoxylanase activity levels. The latter were positively correlated with ash and negatively correlated with starch content, suggesting that the endoxylanase activity in flour is strongly influenced by the level of bran contamination. TAXI contents in the flour fractions varied ca. 4-fold and were strongly correlated with bran-related parameters such as ash content and enzyme activity levels, whereas XIP contents varied ca. 3-fold and were not correlated with any of the parameters measured in this study. The results can be valuable in blending and optimizing wheat flour fractions to obtain flours with specific technological and nutritional benefits.  相似文献

A Bacillus subtilis endoxylanase (XBS(i)) sensitive to inhibition by Triticum aestivum L. endoxylanase inhibitor (TAXI) and a mutant thereof (XBS(ni)), uninhibited by TAXI, were used in straight-dough breadmaking to assess the importance of endoxylanase inhibition sensitivity on endoxylanase functionality in the process. With two European wheat flours, the loaf volume improving effect of XBS(ni) at much lower enzyme dosages was substantially larger than that brought about by XBS(i). This coincided with differences in arabinoxylan (AX) hydrolysis. Although XBS(ni) had a lower substrate selectivity for water-unextractable arabinoxylan (WU-AX) than XBS(i), the former solubilized significantly more WU-AX than XBS(i). Because of inhibition, XBS(i) solubilized most of the WU-AX during mixing, whereas, with XBS(ni), the rate of solubilization decreased less with increasing processing time than that with XBS(i). During fermentation and baking and at the highest dosage (600 U/kg of flour of XBS(i) and 60 U/kg of flour of XBS(ni)), XBS(ni) induced a stronger degradation of enzymically solubilized and water-extractable AX than XBS(i). Taken together, the data clearly demonstrate that endoxylanases, which in vitro are inhibited by endoxylanase inhibitors and still are active in the breadmaking process, as demonstrated by their functional (bread volume) enhancing effect, gradually lose their activity in the process.  相似文献

Hordeum vulgare L. xylanase inhibitor (HVXI), an endoxylanase inhibitor with a protein structure, was purified to homogeneity from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). HVXI is a nonglycosylated monomeric protein, with a molecular weight of ≈40,000 and a pI ≥ 9.3. Although it inhibits different endoxylanases to a varying degree, the activities of an α‐L‐arabinofuranosidase and a β‐d ‐xylosidase were not inhibited. Apparently, HVXI occurs in two molecular forms. These characteristics and the N‐terminal sequences of the composing polypeptides show that HVXI is homologous with Triticum aestivum L. xylanase inhibitor I, an endoxylanase inhibitor from wheat flour.  相似文献

Twenty‐three wheat samples from 19 different European wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) were tested for their quantitative and qualitative variation in inhibition activity against family 11 endoxylanases of Aspergillus niger, Bacillus subtilis, and Trichoderma viride and a family 10 endoxylanase of A. aculeatus. Under the experimental conditions, the A. aculeatus enzyme was not inhibited by the wheat extracts, the A. niger and B. subtilis endoxylanases were affected to a similar extent, while the T. viride enzyme was much more inhibited. The inhibition activities in the different wheat samples against the A. niger, B. subtilis, and T. viride endoxylanases varied between 36.0 and 11.7, 34.0 and 12.9, and 86.2 and 46.6 IU/100 mg of dry whole meal, respectively. One IU (inhibition unit) corresponds to the amount of inhibitor resulting in 50% inhibition of endoxylanase activity under the conditions of the assay. The inhibitor activities were linearly related, indicating that the levels of different endoxylanase inhibitors with different endoxylanase specificities in the dormant wheat grains are also linearly related or that one (or more) of these inhibitors are predominantly present or has much higher specific activity, consequently causing almost all of the inhibition activity measured. Wheat flour accounted for ≈57% of the total inhibition activity in wheat grains, while the shorts and bran fractions each contained ≈21% of the total activity. On dry weight basis, the inhibition activities were about three times higher in shorts and about two times higher in bran than in flour. The results obtained may be useful in explaining differences in functionality of different endoxylanases in biotechnological processes in which wheats of different cultivars, or fractions thereof, are used as well as in screening endoxylanases for applications in wheat‐based processes.  相似文献

The endoxylanases associated with wheat kernels consist of wheat endogenous endoxylanases on one hand and kernel-associated microbial endoxylanases on the other hand. Assessment of their presence, based on analysis of their enzymic activity, can be expected to be hampered by the presence in wheat of high levels of endogenous endoxylanase inhibitors, which are able to inhibit the wheat-kernel-associated microbial endoxylanases. On the basis of preliminary experiments aimed at clarifying the distribution of the wheat-associated endoxylanases, a method to estimate total endoxylanase activities in wheat kernels was developed. Extensive washing of wheat kernels with universal buffer of pH 8.0 provided near-quantitative separation of the microbial endoxylanases located on the surface of wheat kernels from the endogenous endoxylanases and endoxylanase inhibitors located in such kernels. The microbial or endogenous nature of the endoxylanases was confirmed by making use of the inhibition specificity of endoxylanase inhibitors. Determination of the endoxylanase activity in the washing liquid, corresponding to the microbial endoxylanase population, and the washed kernels, corresponding to the endogenous endoxylanase population, allowed estimation of the total endoxylanase activities associated with the wheat kernel. Results showed that microbial endoxylanases can account for over 90% of the total wheat-associated endoxylanase activity and that the latter can be at least 5 times higher than the apparent endoxylanase activity.  相似文献

Endoxylanases seriously affect the rheological properties of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) semolina spaghetti doughs prepared with, and as evaluated, by the farinograph. Under the experimental conditions, control doughs (34.9% moisture content) made from two semolinas (semA and semB) yielded a maximal consistency of 525 and 517 farinograph units (FU), with, respectively, 19.4 and 16.4% of the total level of arabinoxylans (TOT-AX) being water-extractable (WE-AX). When 75.4 Somogyi units/50 g of semolina of the endoxylanases from Trichoderma viride (XTV), rumen microorganisms (XRM), Bacillus subtilis (XBS), and Aspergillus niger (XAN) were used, the maximal consistencies at 34.9% moisture decreased for semA to 467, 436, 448, and 417 FU, respectively. This was accompanied by increased WE-AX contents of 60.8, 71.2, 70.7, and 73.0%, respectively. Similar results were observed for semB. By reducing the total water content of doughs, it was possible to recover the maximal consistency of the original doughs. Both the decrease in maximal consistency and the amount of water to be omitted were significantly related to the decrease in molecular weight (MW) of the WE-AX and the percentage of WE-AX solubilized as a result of the enzymic action. At the same time, it was clear that endogenous endoxylanase inhibitors were present in the durum wheat semolinas and that they inhibited the endoxylanases used to different degrees. Part of the differences in effects between the different endoxylanases (decrease in maximal consistency, amount of AX solubilized, MWs of the WE-AX, and amount of water that could be omitted) could be ascribed to the differences in inhibition of the endoxylanases by endogenous inhibitors.  相似文献

The impacts of the arabinose to xylose (A/X) ratio of arabinoxylans (AX) and the endoxylanase substrate specificity on the enzymic degradability of hull-less barley flour AX by endoxylanases were studied by using alkali-solubilized AX (AS-AX) fractions with different A/X ratio, on the one hand, and glycoside hydrolase family 10 and 11 endoxylanases of Aspergillus aculeatus (XAA) and Bacillus subtilis (XBS), respectively, on the other hand. AS-AX were obtained by saturated barium hydroxide treatment of hull-less barley flour water-unextractable AX. Fractionation of AS-AX by stepwise ethanol precipitation resulted in structurally different hull-less barley flour AS-AX fractions. Their A/X ratios increased with increasing ethanol concentration, and this increase in A/X ratio was reflected in their xylose substitution levels. For both XAA and XBS, the enzymic degradability of AX and apparent specific endoxylanase activity decreased with increasing A/X ratio of the AS-AX substrates, implying that both endoxylanases were sterically hindered by arabinose substituents. However, for all AS-AX fractions, hydrolysis end products of lower average degree of polymerization were obtained after incubation with XAA than with XBS, indicating that the former enzyme has a lower substrate specificity toward hull-less barley flour AS-AX than the latter. In addition, apparent specific endoxylanase activities indicated that XBS was approximately 2 times more sensitive to variations in the A/X ratio of AS-AX fractions than XAA. Furthermore, AS-AX with higher A/X ratio were relatively resistant to degradation by XBS.  相似文献

To quantify Triticum aestivum xylanase inhibitor (TAXI) and xylanase inhibiting protein (XIP) type proteins in cereals in general and wheat ( T. aestivum) in particular, a robust enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using an uncommon enzyme-antibody sandwich format was developed. Bacillus subtilis glycoside hydrolase family (GH) 11 and Aspergillus oryzae GH 10 xylanases were selected for coating ELISA plate wells to capture TAXI and XIP, respectively, prior to probing with antibodies. The detection threshold of the developed ELISA was much lower than that of the currently used xylanase inhibitor assay and the recently described Western blot approach. Because of its broad dynamic range (TAXI, 30-600 ng/mL, and XIP, 3-60 ng/mL), one proper standard extract dilution can be used for analyzing different wheat varieties, whereas for the currently used colorimetric assay, often different dilutions need to be analyzed. The TAXI ELISA for wheat was successfully adapted for barley ( Hordeum vulgare) and could also be used for other cereals.  相似文献

Lignans are of increasing interest because of their potential anticarcinogenic, antioxidant, estrogenic, and antiestrogenic activities. In this work, mixed‐cereal pastas manufactured by adding 60% whole‐grain flours of different cereals (wheat, oat, rye, barley, and rice) to durum wheat semolina, a multigrain pasta with different grains (cereals, legumes, and flaxseed), and a traditional industrial durum wheat semolina were analyzed for their lignans content both in the raw and in the cooked state, ready for consumption. For raw mixed‐cereal pastas, total lignans were within the range 94.91–485.62 μg/100 g d.w. After cooking, total lignans losses of about 35.5, 18.31, and 5.46% were observed respectively in oat‐, rye‐, and rice‐added pastas, whereas increases of 5.74 and 13.62% were observed in barley‐added and whole durum wheat pastas. Interesting results were obtained for the multigrain pasta: the raw product exhibited a total lignans content of 9,686.17 ± 287.03 μg/100 g d.w., and the major contribution was given by secoisolariciresinol. This highest total lignans value resulted from its rich and varied composition in seeds of different origin, legumes, and flaxseed in particular. Our findings showed that mixed‐cereal and multigrain pastas can be considered a good source of lignans. The effect of cooking was not the same for each product, and it depended on the different lignans profile of each grain, on the different chemical structure of each lignan, and on the nature of the food matrix.  相似文献

Wheat kernel associated endoxylanases consist of a majority of microbial endoxylanases and a minority of endogenous endoxylanases. At least part of these enzymes can be expected to end up in wheat flour upon milling. In this study, the contribution of both types of these endoxylanases to changes in the arabinoxylan (AX) population during wheat flour breadmaking was assessed. To this end, wheat flour produced from two wheat varieties with different endoxylanase activity levels, both before and after sodium hypochlorite surface treatment of the wheat kernels, was used in a straight dough breadmaking procedure. Monitoring of the AX population during the breadmaking process showed that changes in AX are to a large extent caused by endogenous endoxylanases, whereas the contribution of microbial endoxylanases to these changes was generally very low. The latter points to a limited contamination of wheat flour with microbial enzymes during milling or to an extensive inactivation of these wheat flour associated microbial endoxylanases by endoxylanase inhibitors, present in wheat flour. When all wheat kernel associated microbial endoxylanases were first washed from the kernels and then added to the bread recipe, they drastically affected the AX population, suggesting that they can have a large impact on whole meal breadmaking.  相似文献

Arabinoxylans (AX), xylanase, and xylanase inhibitors have an important role in many cereal food processing applications. The effects of genotype, growing location, and their interaction (G × L) on AX, apparent xylanase activity, and apparent xylanase inhibition activity of Triticum aestivum xylanase inhibitor (TAXI) and xylanase inhibiting protein (XIP) were investigated for six hard red and six hard white spring wheat genotypes grown at three locations. Difference in total AX level among genotypes was not determined to a significant level by genotype. Instead, variability in total AX content was largely dependent on G × L. However, total AX content was significantly different between the two wheat classes. For bran xylanase activity, 25% of the variability could be attributed to G × L interaction. Moreover, there was significant difference between the bran xylanase activities in the two wheat classes. Bran TAXI activity and XIP activity were significantly different among genotypes. Genotype contributed 72% to the variability in TAXI activity and 39% in XIP. However, no significant difference was observed among the two wheat classes for TAXI or XIP activity. These results indicate that TAXI might be a stable parameter in segregating wheat genotypes with varying xylanase activity.  相似文献

Alkylresorcinols in cereals and cereal products   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
The alkylresorcinol (AR) content of 8 commonly consumed cereals, 125 Triticum cultivars, milling fractions of wheat and rye, bread, and other cereal products was analyzed. ARs were found in wheat (489-1429 microgram/g), rye (720-761 microgram/g), triticale (439-647 microgram/g), and barley (42-51 microgram/g), but not in rice, oats, maize, sorghum, or millet. One durum wheat variety was found to have an exceptionally low level of ARs (54 microgram/g) compared to other durum wheat varieties (589-751 microgram/g) and Triticumspecies analyzed. The AR content of milling fractions closely followed the ash content and could be used as a marker of the presence of bran in flour. Using hot 1-propanol extraction, all ARs could be extracted from bread, contrary to previous studies which suggested that ARs were destroyed during baking. Cereal products varied greatly in AR content, with those containing wheat bran or whole rye having the highest content.  相似文献

Aluminum (Al) negatively interferes with the uptake or transport of different nutrients. The aim of our work was to compare the Al tolerance and micronutrient accumulation: iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn), in cereal species (winter wheat, spring wheat, winter rye, oats and barley) contrasting in Fe efficiency. Our previous screening in a calcareous soil showed that oats and barley were more Fe-efficient than spring wheat, winter wheat or winter rye. In Al stress conditions, both oats and barley exhibited more effectiveness in Fe acquisition and translocation from root to shoot in comparison to winter wheat, spring wheat and winter rye. Also, oats and barley responded to Al toxicity by less Al-retarded shoot biomass than other cereal species. A combination of tolerance mechanisms appears to have great importance for Al tolerance including mechanisms underlying Fe efficiency in cereal seedlings.  相似文献

The variability in rye flour alkali-extractable arabinoxylan (AE-AX) structures was examined by extensive fractionation and enzymic degradation studies. AX were isolated from destarched rye water-unextractables by sequential extraction with saturated barium hydroxide solution, water, 1.0 M sodium hydroxide, and water. The isolated AE-AX contained ca. 51% AX with an arabinose to xylose (A/X) ratio of 0.71. Fractionation of the isolated AE-AX by ethanol precipitation yielded a range of AE-AX fractions containing AX molecules with different A/X ratios and substitution patterns. Degradation of these structurally different AE-AX fractions by an Aspergillus aculeatus endoxylanase (XAA) and a Bacillus subtilis endoxylanase (XBS) resulted in AX fragments with various structural features. Further fractionation of the degraded AE-AX fractions by ethanol precipitation showed that a strong correlation exists between the structural features of the AX fragments, that is, average degree of polymerization (DP) of the xylan backbone, A/X ratio, and substitution pattern. Results indicated that the rye flour AE-AX consist of a continuum of structures rather than of two types of AX or two types of regions in the AX molecule.  相似文献

Two‐dimensional isoelectric focusing (IEF) × PAGE gels were used to compare the endoproteolytic (gelatinase) activities of germinated barley with those of bread and durum wheat, rye, triticale, oat, rice, buckwheat, and sorghum. Barley was used as the standard of comparison because its endoproteinase complement has been studied previously in the greatest detail. The characteristics of the grain proteases were appraised from their migration patterns and by how they were affected by pH levels. All of the germinated grains contained multiple enzyme activities and their separation patterns and pH levels were at least similar to those of barley. The proteinases of the bread and durum wheats, rye, oat, and sorghum were most similar to those of barley, whereas the other grains provided more varied patterns. The rice and buckwheat proteinases developed much more slowly than those of the other grains. The activity patterns of the triticale resembled those of the parents, wheat and rye, but the triticale contained many more activities and higher overall proteolytic activities than any of the other species. These results should be applied to scientific or commercial procedures with caution because grains contain potent endogenous proteinase inhibitors that could inactivate some of these enzymes in various tissues or germination stages.  相似文献

It has been proposed that microbial proteinase inhibitors, which are present in abundance in cereal grains, protect the seed against plant pathogens. So far, however, very little is known about the interactions of those inhibitors with the proteinases of phytopathogenic microbes. The increased alkaline proteinase activities of Fusarium head blight (FHB) diseased wheat and barley grain imply that the Fusarium fungi synthesize those enzymes during the colonization of the kernel. To study which barley proteins can inhibit Fusarium proteinases, and hence, possibly protect the seed from FHB, the proteins of a grain extract have been separated and tested for their abilities to inhibit two alkaline serine proteinases that we previously isolated from F. culmorum. The proteins were separated by size exclusion, ion exchange, and reversed-phase-HPLC chromatographies. The purified inhibitors were identified by their molecular masses and N-terminal amino acid sequences. The proteins that inhibited the subtilisin-like Fusarium proteinase were the chymotrypsin/subtilisin (CI) inhibitors 1A, 1B, and 2A and the barley alpha-amylase/subtilisin inhibitor (BASI). Only one of the purified proteins inhibited the trypsin-like proteinase, the barley Bowman-Birk inhibitor (BBBI). No novel inhibitors were detected.  相似文献

The alkylresorcinol content and homologue composition in selected Polish rye and wheat cultivars and selected whole-grain cereal products were determined in this study. Cereal grains and whole-grain cereal products were extracted with acetone, whereas bread types were extracted with hot 1-propanol. The average alkylresorcinol content in tested rye (approximately 1100 mg/kg DM) and wheat (approximately 800 mg/kg DM) grains harvested in Poland was within the range previously reported in Swedish and Finnish samples. The total alkylresorcinol content in tested cereal products available on the Polish market varied from very low levels in barley grain-based foods up to 3000 mg/kg DM in wheat bran. The total alkylresorcinol content in 14 bread samples extracted with hot 1-propanol varied from approximately 100 mg/kg DM in whole bread made with honey up to approximately 650 mg/kg DM in whole-rye bread. Calculated ratios of C17:0 to C21:0 homologues, a useful parameter previously used to distinguish between rye and wheat cereals and their derived products, was about 1.2-1.4 in rye products, about 0.2 in wheat products, and varied between 0.2 and 0.6 in cereal-derived products containing a mixture of whole rye and/or wheat. The data set obtained were subsequently compared using cluster and principal component analysis, which allowed the tested cereal products to be classified into two major groups consisting of whole-rye or whole-wheat products, respectively. On the basis of that approach, mixed cereal products containing rye and wheat bran or whole rye and wheat flour were grouped between those two well-defined clusters. Our work not only provides a detailed examination of alkylresorcinols in selected Polish rye and wheat cultivars and selected whole-grain cereal products, but also demonstrates that this type of analysis accompanied by the use of proper statistical algorithms offers an objective way to evaluate the quality of whole-grain rye and/or wheat and their derived products.  相似文献

Five different methods were compared to elucidate the total activity of the acidic phytate-degrading enzymes present in the seeds of rye, wheat, and barley. Phytate-degrading activity was studied at pH 5.0 by quantifying the liberated phosphate. Rye showed the highest acid phytate-degrading activity among the cereals studied. Using an aqueous extract, only 30-50% of the activity was found (rye, 3443 mU g(-1) of grain; wheat, 1026 mU g(-1) of grain; barley, 1032 mU g(-1) of grain) compared to that found by the direct incubation of the dry-milled cereal grains in a buffered phytate-containing solution (rye, 6752 mU g(-1) of grain; wheat, 2931 mU g(-1) of grain; barley, 2093 mU g(-1) of grain). Extending the extraction time resulted in an increase in extractable phytate-degrading activity by, at maximum, 10-15%. Extraction of phytate-degrading activity is strongly enhanced in the presence of Triton X-100 and the protease inhibitor phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (rye, 6536 mU g(-1) of grain; wheat, 2873 mU g(-1) of grain; barley, 2023 mU g(-1) of grain), suggesting at least a partial association with membrane structures and a degradation by proteolytic activity during extraction. In addition, it was shown that determining phytate-degrading activity by quantification of the liberated inorganic phosphate is more robust and precise than determining phytate-degrading activity by quantification of the residual phytate.  相似文献

The combined effects on pasta properties of 1) varying dosages of endoxylanases (EC 3.2.1.8) from Aspergillus aculeatus and Bacillus subtilis and 2) lower levels of water during pasta dough processing were studied. The A. aculeatus endoxylanase has high selectivity toward water‐extractable arabinoxylan (WE‐AX), whereas B. subtilis endoxylanase preferentially hydrolyzes water‐unextractable arabinoxylan (WU‐AX). Pasta was produced on a microscale (50.0 g) from the semolinas of both a strong (AC Navigator) and a moderately strong (AC Avonlea) durum wheat cultivar. The levels of added water in endoxylanase‐treated pastas were adjusted to obtain the same maximal farinograph consistencies as for the control pastas. The extruded pastas were dried with drying cycles at 40, 70, or 90°C. Apart from increasing levels of solubilized arabinoxylans, these treatments had little effect on the color, optimal cooking time, and firmness of the resulting pasta. High enzyme concentrations and low (40°C) drying temperature resulted in clearly or much less checked final products for the B. subtilis and A. aculeatus enzyme, respectively. Upon cooking, the enzymically formed low molecular weight arabinoxylans were retained better in the pasta strands than their equally low molecular weight arabinogalactan counterparts.  相似文献

The impact of varying levels of endoxylanase activity in wheat flour on arabinoxylan (AX) in mixed and rested dough was studied using eight industrially milled wheat flour fractions with varying endoxylanase activity levels. Analysis of the levels of reducing end xylose (RX) and solubilized AX (S-AX) formed during mixing and resting and their correlation with the endoxylanase activity in the flour milling fractions showed that solubilization of AX during the mixing phase is mainly due to mechanical forces, while solubilization of AX during resting is caused by endoxylanase activity. Moreover, solubilization of AX during the dough resting phase is more outspoken than that during the mixing phase. Besides endoxylanase activity, there were significant xylosidase and arabinofuranosidase activities during the dough resting phase. The results indicate that wheat flour-associated endoxylanases can alter part of the AX in dough, thereby changing their functionality in bread making and potentially affecting dough and end product properties.  相似文献
