Mbithi-Mwikya S  Van Camp J  Mamiro PR  Ooghe W  Kolsteren P  Huyghebaert A 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2002,50(10):3030-3036

Finger millet (Eleusine coracana), kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), peanuts (Arachis hypogoea), and mango (Mangifera indica) were processed separately and then combined, on the basis of their amino acid scores and energy content, into a complementary food for children of weaning age. The finger millet and kidney beans were processed by germination, autoclaving, and lactic acid fermentation. A mixture containing, on a dry matter basis, 65.2, 19.1, 8.0, and 7.7% of the processed finger millet, kidney beans, peanuts, and mango, respectively, gave a composite protein with an in vitro protein digestibility of 90.2% and an amino acid chemical score of 0.84. This mixture had an energy density of 16.3 kJ.g(-1) of dry matter and a decreased antinutrient content and showed a measurable improvement in the in vitro extractability for calcium, iron, and zinc. A 33% (w/v) pap made from a mix of the processed ingredients had an energy density of 5.4 kJ.g(-1) of pap, which is sufficient to meet the energy requirements of well-nourished children of 6-24 months of age at three servings a day and at the FAO average breast-feeding frequency.  相似文献   

Enzymatic synthesis of aroma compound xylosides using transfer reaction by Trichoderma longibrachiatum xylanase   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Kadi N  Belloy L  Chalier P  Crouzet JC 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2002,50(20):5552-5557

Enzymatic synthesis of aroma compound xylosides was performed by Trichoderma longibrachiatum xylanase. Information concerning the nature of xylosides present in the reaction medium was obtained by GC-EI-MS, by GC-NCI-MS of TFA derivatives, and by positive FAB-MS of the reaction mixtures. Moreover, the structures of isolated benzyl beta-D-xylopyranoside and 4-O-beta-xylopyranosyl-beta-D-xylopyranoside were established by (1)H and (13)C NMR and heteronuclear two-dimensional ((1)H-(13)C) chemical shift correlation. The results obtained for hexyl and benzyl alcohol xylosides indicated that a reaction implying a transfer of one to two or three xylose units from xylan was involved. The enzyme was able to recognize xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylan as xylose donors. Benzyl xyloside, produced independently of xylobioside and xylotrioside, was found as the major kinetic product of the reaction. Benzyl xyloside was produced in higher quantities and at a higher rate than that obtained for the di- and trixyloside derivatives. The maximum production for benzyl xyloside, 1.29 g/L, was obtained in the presence of hexane (50%) used as cosolvent. Xylosides and xylobiosides of several aroma compounds, (Z)-hex-3-en-1-ol, heptan-2-ol, geraniol, nerol, and citronellol, were synthesized in different amounts, from 850 mg/L for (Z)-hex-3-en-1-yl xylosides to 1.5 mg/L for citronellyl xylosides. No synthesis occurred when menthol, linalool, and eugenol were used as acceptors.  相似文献   

Rapid determination of polyphenols and vitamin C in plant-derived products   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

Georgé S  Brat P  Alter P  Amiot MJ 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(5):1370-1373

Polyphenols, widely spread in our diet by the consumption of plant food products, are commonly determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent that interacts with other different reducing nonphenolic substances and leads to an overestimation of polyphenol content. In this paper we report an optimized Folin-Ciocalteu method to specifically determine the contents of total polyphenols and vitamin C. After the optimal conditions for the colorimetric assay were set, solid-phase extraction (Oasis HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance)) was carried out to eliminate the water-soluble reducing interferences including vitamin C. Colorimetric correction was thus performed by subtracting interfering substances contained in the water washing extract from the raw extract. Moreover, vitamin C present in the water washing extract can be destroyed by heating and thus colorimetrically deduced. This procedure was set up with synthetic solutions and validated on different extracts from fruit products.  相似文献   

In vitro activity of the essential oil of Cinnamomum zeylanicum and eugenol in peroxynitrite-induced oxidative processes     

Chericoni S  Prieto JM  Iacopini P  Cioni P  Morelli I 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(12):4762-4765

The essential oil obtained from the bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume (Lauraceae) and three of its main components, eugenol, (E)-cinnamaldehyde, and linalool (representing 82.5% of the total composition), were tested in two in vitro models of peroxynitrite-induced nitration and lipid peroxidation. The essential oil and eugenol showed very powerful activities, decreasing 3-nitrotyrosine formation with IC50 values of 18.4 microg/mL and 46.7 microM, respectively (reference compound, ascorbic acid, 71.3 microg/mL and 405.0 microM) and also inhibiting the peroxynitrite-induced lipid peroxidation showing an IC50 of 2.0 microg/mL and 13.1 microM, respectively, against 59.0 microg/mL (235.5 microM) of the reference compound Trolox. On the contrary, (E)-cinnamaldehyde and linalool were completely inactive.  相似文献   

Evaluation of isoflavone aglycon and glycoside distribution in soy plants and soybeans by fast column high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a diode-array detector     

Klejdus B  Mikelová R  Petrlová J  Potesil D  Adam V  Stiborová M  Hodek P  Vacek J  Kizek R  Kubán V 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(15):5848-5852

An ultrafast HPLC/UV-vis DAD method working at 254 nm was applied for the determination of isoflavone aglycons and glycosides (genistin, genistein, daidzein, daidzin, glycitin, glycitein, ononin, formononetin, sissotrin, and biochanin A) in roots, stems, leaves, and soy pods of soy plants and in soybeans of five varieties (Korada, Quito, Rita, OAC Erin, and OAC Vison). An Atlantis dC18 ultrafast RP chromatographic column (20 mm x 2.1 mm, 3 microm particle size) was applied for separation of the isoflavone aglycons and glycosides. A flow rate of the mobile phase (0.1% (v/v) acetic acid, pH 3.75-solvent A and methanol-solvent B) was 0.35 mL min(-1), and the column temperature was 36 degrees C. A linear gradient profile from 13 up to 22% B (v/v) from zero to 2.5 min, up to 30% B to 3.21 min, up to 35% B to 4 min, up to 40% B to 4.5 min, up to 50% B to 5.14 min, and followed by negative gradient up to 13% B to 7.71 min was used. The absolute limits of detection per sample injection (5 microL) were the highest for biochanin A (166.2 fmol) and the lowest for genistin (17.0 fmol), respectively. An accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) in combination with sonication was applied for isolation of biologically active compounds. A solid-phase extraction procedure was used to purify the extracts in the case of analysis of soy plants parts. The recoveries of 96-106% were obtained for the different concentrations of the isoflavone aglycons and glycosides and the different matrixes (overall RSDs 2-9%). The highest isoflavone concentrations were found in roots (12.5 microg g(-1) dry weight), while the amounts were about 3-1100 microg g(-1) fresh weight in different varieties of soybeans.  相似文献   

Clarification of Muscat musts using wheat proteins and the flotation technique     

Marchal R  Lallement A  Jeandet P  Establet G 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2003,51(7):2040-2048

The bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, mad cow) crisis has led some wine-makers to question gelatin as a fining agent and to reject the use of these animal proteins. The search for a substitute for gelatin was begun by comparing vegetable proteins (particularly gluten) with gelatin fining treatments. Clairette de Die (French-controlled appellation) is a sparkling sweet wine. The alcoholic fermentation begins in a tank, continues in a crown-cap bottle, and stops before the complete consumption of sugar. All particles present in the bottle have to be removed before corking, and it is important to have a must as clear as possible. This study concerned the clarifying of a Muscat must, treated with pectinases, using a very efficient flotation technique. The must is fined with bentonite/silica/protein (fish gelatin, wheat gluten, or lupin isolate) to induce flocculation and then pressurized (6 bar). After depressurization, microbubbles cling to flocculates and climb to the top of the flotation tank (this flotation foam is clarified using a rotary filter). At laboratory scale, gluten (20 g/hL) and gelatin (10 g/hL) (each combined with bentonite and silica gel) gave turbidities of 50 and 35 NTU, respectively (6.5 and 4.1% of that of the nontreated must). The Muscat must was also clarified by static settling. The turbidity decreased by 86% for the gluten/bentonite fining and by 60% for the gelatin/bentonite fining. Visually, gluten flocculation takes longer to occur and flocculates sedimentation is longer than with gelati, but the removal of insoluble particles is more complete and leads to lower turbidities. At an industrial scale, gluten (20 g/hL) and gelatin (10 g/hL) (each combined with bentonite and silica gel) gave turbidities of 60 and 48 NTU, respectively. Turbidities measured in the tanks 14 h after the flotation showed a better efficiency for the wheat gluten (24 NTU) compared to gelatin (28 NTU). This is explained by the static settling that completed the clarifying effect of the flotation. The last experiment showed comparable efficiencies for wheat gluten and lupin proteins. BSE caused a situation of crisis (in Europe particularly) leading the public and wine-makers to lose their confidence in the use of gelatin as fining agent and to reject animal proteins in general. It is proposed here that vegetable proteins could efficiently replace gelatin.  相似文献   

由石灰性冲积物发育而来的排水不良和排水良好的土壤中游离氧化物的分布   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

N. K. MOUSTAKAS  P. E. BAROUCHAS 《土壤圈》2003,13(4):345-351

A study on the distribution of free iron and manganese oxides was conducted in soils developed on calcareous alluvial deposits under subhumid climatic conditions, in Western Greece. Soil samples from two well drained soils and from two poorly drained soils, classified as Alfisols, were collected and used in this study. After certification of soil homogeneity the acid ammonium oxalate and dithionite-citrate-bicaxbonate methods were used to extract free iron and manganese oxides from the samples. Iron oxides extracted by the dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate method (Fed) were significantly higher than the iron oxides extracted by the ammonium oxalate method (Feo), indicating that a considerable fraction is present in crystalline forms, independent of drainage status. A confirmation of free iron oxides and fine clay was detected. The ratios Feo/Fed and (Fed-Feo)/total Fe (Fet) could not be used to distinguish the well drained soils from the poorly drained soils. Manganese movement in a soluble form is independent of the fine clay.  相似文献   

High-yield preparation of wax esters via lipase-catalyzed esterification using fatty acids and alcohols from crambe and camelina oils     

Steinke G  Weitkamp P  Klein E  Mukherjee KD 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2001,49(2):647-651

Fatty acids obtained from seed oils of crambe (Crambe abyssinica) and camelina (Camelina sativa) via alkaline saponification or steam splitting were esterified using lipases as biocatalysts with oleyl alcohol and the alcohols derived from crambe and camelina oils via hydrogenolysis of their methyl esters. Long-chain wax esters were thus obtained in high yields when Novozym 435 (immobilized lipase B from Candida antarctica) and papaya (Carica papaya) latex lipase were used as biocatalysts and vacuum was applied to remove the water formed. The highest conversions to wax esters were obtained with Novozym 435 (> or =95%) after 4-6 h of reaction, whereas with papaya latex lipase such a high degree of conversion was attained after 24 h. Products obtained from stoichiometric amounts of substrates were almost exclusively (>95%) composed of wax esters having compositions approaching that of jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) oil, especially when crambe fatty acids in combination with camelina alcohols or camelina fatty acids in combination with crambe alcohols were used as substrates.  相似文献   

Polyphenolic content in olive oil waste waters and related olive samples     

Mulinacci N  Romani A  Galardi C  Pinelli P  Giaccherini C  Vincieri FF 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2001,49(8):3509-3514

The production of olive oil yields a considerable amount of waste water, which is a powerful pollutant and is currently discarded. Polyphenols and other natural antioxidants, extracted from olives during oil extraction process, partially end up in the waste waters. Experimental and commercial olive oil waste waters from four Mediterranean countries were analyzed for a possible recovering of these biologically interesting constituents. Identification and quantitation of the main polyphenols were carried out by applying HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS methods. Representative samples of ripe olives were also analyzed at the same time to correlate, if possible, their polyphenolic profiles with those of the corresponding olive oil waste waters. The results demonstrate that Italian commercial olive oil waste waters were the richest in total polyphenolic compounds with amounts between 150 and 400 mg/100 mL of waste waters. These raw, as yet unused, matrices could represent an interesting and alternative source of biologically active polyphenols.  相似文献
