Abstract:Static digestion mode in vitro was used to digest egg ovotransferrin by the simulated gastric juice, small intestine fluid and small intestinal brush border membrane enzyme in infants and adults, respectively. Tricine-SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF-MS were used to analyze the digestion products at all stages to define the digestibility of ovotransferrin. It was shown that ovotransferrin could be digested by the simulated gastric juice, small intestine fluid and small intestinal brush border membrane enzyme in infants and adults. Regarding to the digestion in simulated gastrointestinal fluids in infants, the molecular weight of gastric digestion products were 5-15 ku and 30-50 ku. The small intestinal digestion products were 0.5-10 ku. At last, 0.5-0.7 ku peptides were produced by small intestinal brush border membrane enzyme. The molecular weight of the digested ovotransferrin by the simulated gastric fluid in adult was the same as that of infants, while 0.5-0.8 ku peptides were mainly produced in intestinal digestion. However, only 0.5-0.7 ku peptides were generated after further digestion by small intestinal brush border membrane enzyme. This work preliminarily defined the characteristics of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of ovotransferrin, providing some experimental support for better understanding that ovotransferrin is more likely to cause egg allergy in infants.
Abstract:Objective: The effects of different molecular weight Auricularia auricular fermentation products on glucose lipid metabolism of HepG2 cells were evaluated by establishing HepG2 cell fat accumulation model and normal HepG2 cell model.

Abstract:In this paper, the antimicrobial activity of fermentation supernatant and bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus salivarius O2A against Salmonella was studied. The effect of metal ions-bacteriocin against Salmonella and its mechanism were investigated. Alone bacteriocin and metal ions-bacteriocin had good bacteriostatic effects on Salmonella. The growth curve of different antimicrobial agents on Salmonella changed greatly after treatment for 18 h, and the bacteriostatic effects was better in the Zn2+(30 mmol/L) - fermentation supernatant and Zn2+(30 mmol/L) -bacteriocin. Compared with the standard Salmonella strain, the results of scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope show that the micromorphology of the treated strain was destroyed to varying degrees, among which the most serious damage was caused by the Zn2+(30 mmol/L) -bacteriocin. The mechanism of bacteriostasis may be to destroy the cell wall and cell membrane by destroying the integrity of the cell structure, thus inhibiting the growth of bacteria even killing bacteria.

Abstract:The changes of whiteness, gel strength, water holding capacity, texture characteristics, storage modulus (G'), chemical force, protein secondary structure and microstructure of surimi from silver carp were analyzed under different starch concentration, in order to study the effects of native cassava starch, hydroxypropylated starch, acetylated distarch phosphate and acetate starch on the gel properties and protein conformation of surimi. The results showed that starch could significantly improve the water holding capacity of surimi gel. 1% of additive content could improve the whiteness, gel strength, hardness and chewiness of surimi gel, and the improvement effect was the best for hydroxypropylated starch. Rheological properties showed that starch played an inactive filler role in surimi products. A small amount of starch could hinder the formation of hydrogen bond, promote hydrophobic interaction and ion bond formation, and induce conformation transition of surimi protein from a-helix to β-fold structure. A more compact surimi gel network structure could be obtained when four kinds of starch were added to 1%. However, hydroxypropylated starch made the size and distribution of pores in the surimi gel network more uniform. Therefore, 1% hydroxypropylated starch can be used to improve the gel quality of silver carp surimi.

Abstract:The gelatinization degree, whiteness value, sensory score, cooking characteristics and texture characteristics were used as the quality evaluation indexes of rice cake to investigate the effect of gelation time, temperature and humidity on the quality of rice cake. The optimization process were determined by orthogonal optimization experiment. Under the optimized process, the changes of water distribution and microstructure of rice cake with different gelation time was researched. Result: Gelation time, gelation temperature and gelation humidity changed the quality of rice cake by affecting gelation extent, velocity and water distribution, respectively. The optimal process was gelation time 18 h, gelation temperature 25 ℃, gelation humidity 80%. During the gelation process of the rice cake, the tightly bound water was separated from the end of the cluster structure chain and transformed to the less tightly bound water, and finally dispersed into the environment in the state of free water to deepen the gelation behavior, while specially the less tightly bound water existed as the intermediate between the tightly bound water and the free water. The microstructure indicated that the macromolecular clusters in the texture concentrate preferentially and form small pore structures. When the gelation behavior was almost complete, the structure became compact and continuous wall shape.

The sensory score was 88.0 ± 0.56, which was in accordance with the predicted value.
Abstract:In order to investigate the change regulation of sulfhydryl groups (SH) and disulphide bonds (SS) in protein in noodle processing and its effect on the noodle quality, the flour samples with different content of SH and SS bonds were made and the noodles were made of these flours. Seven important sample points included knead dough, fragmentary dough maturation, dough sheet maturation, rolling and slitting, cooking, drying at constant temperature and humidity, and drying at room temperature. The gliadin and glutenin macropolymer(GMP) were extracted and the changing law of content of SH and SS bonds in gliadin and GMP were also studied. Results: There were obvious differences on free-SH, SS bond and the ratio of free SH/SS. For the extracted gliadin and GMP, there was no obvious change at other points except for cooking where the free-SH decreased obviously and SS content increased synchronously in gliadin. The change range of free-SH and SS bonds in GMP was relatively spacious. In flour samples with SS bonds content of 13.26, 12.95, 12.80, 12.55, 12.46 μmol/g, respectively, the free-SH content gradually increased, and SS bonds content gradually reduced, and the change amplitude became bigger and bigger. This study revealed the change regulation of SH and SS in protein in noodle processing and laid a theoretic foundation for further investigating the structure changes of gluten protein and noodle quality.

Abstract:To develop a new process for producing chitin from crayfish shell, demineralization and deproteinization of crayfish shell by electrolyzed water (EW) were studied, and the physicochemical properties and structure of chitin extracted were characterized. The results showed that after crayfish shell powder (CSP) was treated individually with acidic electrolyzed water (AEW) and basic electrolyzed water (BEW) prepared by 2% NaCl for 6 h, the mineral and protein removal rates were 99.59% and 91.31%, respectively. After CSP was continuously treated by the combination of AEW and BEW for 9 h, the ash and protein contents of chitin prepared were 0.86% and 1.31%, respectively. AEW also had good decolorizing effect. Compared with the traditional inorganic acid-base method, the chitin produced by the EW treatment process had lower intrinsic viscosity (368 mL/g), molecular weight (85 ku) and degree of deacetylation (12.88%). The results of thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that both chitins exhibited a network-like porous structure and all were α-chitin. The degradation temperature of them were 382 ℃ and 389 ℃, respectively, and the crystallinity index were 82.48% and 78.82%, respectively. Therefore, EW treatment process has the potential to be a novel method for producing chitin from crayfish shell.
Abstract:In order to realize the high-value utilization of octopus waste, the octopus ink sac was used as the raw material. The study compared high-speed centrifugal method and enzyme method to extract octopus ink melanin, and explore its ultrastructure, ultraviolet-visible spectrum, physical and chemical properties. The results showed that the melanin extracted by high-speed centrifugation has two characteristic absorption peaks at the wavelength of 230 nm and 326 nm in the ultraviolet region. The average particle size is 123 nm, and the structure is intact. Analysis of physicochemical properties of octopus melanin indicates it was insoluble in most organic and inorganic reagents, would precipitate in acidic solution, was slightly soluble in alkaline buffer, and had good solubility in NaOH solution; under natural light conditions, the octopus melanin had good stability, but it was intolerant in the ultraviolet light. Under long time high temperature heating condition, the melanin was instable. Under different pH value conditions, the stability of octopus melanin increased with the increase of solution alkalinity. This study provides data support for the comprehensive utilization of melanin in octopus ink sacs.

Abstract:Objective: To explore the effect of cholesterol treatment on the preservation of postharvest pak choy (Brassica chinensis L). Method: Postharvest detached pak choy was completely immersed in 0.1 mmol/L cholesterol solution for 2 h and stored at 2 ℃. Quality related parameters of pak choy were determined during the storage. Result: Exogenous cholesterol treatment could significantly retard the decline of ascorbic acid (AsA), and the increase of weight loss rate, nitrites and malondialdehyde(MDA). Cholesterol also contributed to the preservation of soluble protein, chlorophyll and soluble solids content(SSC). Cholesterol treatment could effectively enhance the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and ascorbic acid peroxidase (APX), as well as catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR). However, little effect was found on peroxidase (POD). Cholesterol could stably promote the activities of APX and GR enzymes, and APX, AsA and GR were positively correlated with chlorophyll. Conclusion: Cholesterol treatment was beneficial to maintain the quality of postharvest pak choy, sustain the content of reduced AsA, and keep pak choy green.
Abstract:In this paper, the strain of Bacillus coagulans VP4 with strong antimicrobial activity was screened from Shanxi aged vinegar cupei. After eliminating some interference factors such as organic acids, hydrogen peroxide and hydrolization with proteinase K and trypsin, the antibacterial substance in the culture supernatant was confirmed as proteinaceous and was a kind of bacteriocin. The bacteriocin showed pH value stability in the range of 2-10. Moreover, after being treated at 121 ℃ for 60 min, the antimicrobial activity of VP4 bacteriocin still remained at 70%. Also, the biopreservative effect of VP4 bacteriocin on quality of fresh mutton stored for 15 days at 4 ℃ were investigated based on the microbial, chemical (pH, electric conductivity, total volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid), and sensory evaluation. The results showed that VP4 bacteriocin could retain the good quality and extend the shelf life of mutton during storage at 4 ℃. Bacillus coagulans VP4 bacteriocin has thus shown a great potential as a natural biopreservative substance in chilled meat.
Abstract:The quality and physicochemical properties of pretreated sea cucumber in 60 days at 4 ℃ were studied. The soluble collagen content, hardness and chewiness, protein degradation, cathepsin-L and caspase-3 activity, structural protein expression and free radical production of sea cucumber were analyzed regularly. The results showed that with the prolongation of low temperature treatment time, the indexes of the early stage were not significantly changed, and the soluble collagen content increased significantly from the 10th day; the hardness and chewiness decreased sharply at 15-25 d. The results of SDS-PAGE showed that the high molecular weight protein began to decrease on the 15th day, and the actin disappeared after 30 days. The activity of cathepsin-L increased significantly at 20 days, and the activity of caspase-3 reached the maximum at 25 days. After 30 days, the β-actin protein signal was significantly attenuated. The results of ESR showed that the ROS signal intensity increased first and then decreased with time. This study provided a theoretical basis for the storage and preservation of sea cucumber.
Abstract:To investigate whether the acid-resistant candidate genes ATPase and FtsH with different expression trends under stress conditions can improve the acid resistance of strains, the real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to determine the relative expression levels of mutagenized Oenococcus oeni, acid-resistant strain b1 and acid-sensitive strain b2, in ATB medium at pH 4.8 (optimal condition) and pH 3.0 (stress condition). Then their expression trends were analyzed. ATPase and FtsH were cloned from b1, which were named ATPase1 and FtsH1; ATPase and FtsH were cloned from b2, which were named ATPase2 and FtsH2. Next analyzed the sequence differences. The function of ATPase1, ATPase2, FtsH1 and FtsH2 were verified in Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) XJ25, to establish recombinant L. plantarum a1, a2, f1 and f2. The growth ability of recombinant L. plantarum was determined in MRS medium at pH 3.2, using L. plantarum con containing empty vector as a control. Quantitative results showed that ATPase was significantly up-regulated in both strains b1 and b2; FtsH was unchanged in b1 and significantly up-regulated in b2. ATPase1 and ATPase2 have three non-synonymous mutations in the functional domain, and FtsH1 and FtsH2 have one non-synonymous mutation in the transmembrane domain. The functional verification results showed that the growth ability of a1 and a2 was stronger than con, and there was no difference in the growth ability between a1 and a2; the growth ability of f1 was stronger than that of con, and the growth ability of f2 was not different from that of con. It can be seen that ATPase1, ATPase2 and FtsH1 can all improve the acid resistance of the strain.

The chemical fingerprint can distinguish the difference of chemical content in medicinal materials, and the spectrum-effect correlation analysis can preliminarily predict the active component groups. The insulin resistance model of HepG2 was used to evaluate the hypoglycemic activity of Moringa oleifera leaves, and the main active components with hypoglycemic activity in Moringa oleifera leaves were identified by the spectrum-effect correlation analysis with fingerprint. This paper evaluated the hypoglycemic activity of different extracts from orthogonal test and found that Moringa oleifera leaves could increase the glucose consumption of insulin resistant HepG2 cells and effectively alleviate insulin resistance. Spectrum-effect correlation analysis indicated that apigenin-7-O-glucoside, quercetin-3-O-glucoside, kaempferol diacetyl-rhamnoside, kaempferol had higher correlation coefficient and they were 0.991 (P < 0.01), 0.915 (P < 0.01), 0.988 (P < 0.01), 0.987 (P < 0.01), respectively. The results of this study provided the basis for the discovery of hypoglycemic active component group of Moringa Oleifera leaves. The hypoglycemic active component group of Moringa Oleifera leaves might be apigenin-7-O-glucoside, quercetin-3-O-glucoside, kaempferol diacetyl-rhamnoside, kaempferol.
Abstract:The fermented milk is considered as a complex food system, measurement of all metabolites in fermented milk using a single analytical platform is usually unattainable. Fermented characteristics was investigated, and metabolites profile of Lactobacillus plantarum P-8 in strain-dependent fermentation and co‐fermentation with commercial starters YC-X11 was analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography- quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF) combined statistical methods. When the single strain of Lactobacillus plantarum P-8 was used in the fermentation, the time to reach the end point was 13 hours. The fermentation time required 5 hours with both Lactobacillus plantarum P-8 and commercial starter YC-X11. During the fermentation process, the bacterial viable counts in different fermented milk significantly increased (P < 0.05), and the titratable acidity significantly increased (P < 0.05). 62 metabolites were determined as the major compounds contributing to the discrimination of fermented milk. The different metabolites between the mixed fermented milk and the fermented milk with Lactobacillus plantarum P-8 were organic acid (7 species), polypeptide (4 species), free amino acid (4 species), nucleic acid metabolites (4 species) and aromatic substance (3 species). Therefore, metabolomic methods can be used to identify and analyze different metabolites in fermented milk, which could serve as potential biomarkers.
Abstract:Objective: The effect of different fermentation characteristics of Lactococcus lactis on the quality of fermented milk was explored. Methods: Fermented milk were made with 191 Lactococcus lactis strains that the flavor and taste of fermented milk were assessed by electronic nose, electronic tongue, and multivariate statistical analysis. Results: Principal component analysis(PCA) showed separation trends in the flavor and taste of the fermented milk samples by the strains that had different acid-producing rates and proteolytic activity. Mann-Whitney test showed that aromatic compounds of the fermented milk made by moderate and fast acid-producing strains more than fermented milk made by slow acid-producing strains, while opposite trends were observed in methane, ethanol and organic sulfur (P<0.01). In terms of taste, there was strong umami of the fermented milk made by slow acid-producing strains and the more sourness of fermented milk made by moderate and fast acid-producing strains(P<0.01). There was a significantly negative correlation between acid-producing capacity and proteolysis level(P<0.01). Conclusion: The fermented milk produced by the fast acid-producing and low proteolysis level Lactococcus lactis had more aromatic compounds, and were sourer, while fermented milk produced by the slow acid-producing and strong proteolysis level strains had more methane, ethanol and organic sulfur, and stronger umami taste.
Abstract:The ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was established to quantify the bovine serum albumin in bovine dairy products accurately based on targeted proteomics. Qualitative analysis of theoretical peptides was carried out using high-resolution mass spectrometry (Q-Orbitrap) and protein software. Based on the the specificity and stability of peptides and the dynamics curve of enzymatic hydrolysis, LVNELTEFAK and HLVDEPQNLIK were selected as the specific proteotypic peptides for quantitative determination of bovine serum albumin. The detection limits of both peptides were less than 1 mg/100 g. And the recovery rates were between 87.9% and 101.1%, the intra-day and the inter-day precisions were less than 7.6%. The detection of 12 infant formula and whey powder showed that the method was suitable for the quantitative detection of bovine serum albumin in dairy products. It provides a technical foundation for quality monitoring of infant formula.

Abstract:Objective: To establish a sensitive and rapid one-step reverse transcriptase droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (RT-ddPCR) assay for detection human astrovirus (HAstV) in different food matrices. Methods: The RT-ddPCR quantitative detection assay for HAstV was established and optimized by applying the selected specific primers and probes. The specificity of this quantitative method was validated via using other foodborne viruses RNA as targets. A HAstV RNA reference material was series diluted to evaluate the quantitative detection limit, accuracy and variability of the developed assay. In order to test the detection limit and recovery rate in food, artificial positive samples were prepared by adding MS2 bacteriophage with known titer to different food matrices. Virus elution and purification method in food from CEN ISO/TS 15216-2:2013 was adopted and the virus detection amounts of two RNA extraction methods were compared. Results: The HAstV RT-ddPCR assay had better accuracy, sensitivity and smaller variability with a detection range from 105 to 100(copies/μL) and a lower limit of quantitation of 5 copies/μL. The detection limits in digestive glands of bivalve molluscan shellfish, food with hard surface, raw vegetables and soft fruits were 7.2×106-3 600 copies, 7.2×106-3 600 copies, 7.2×106-7 200 copies and 7.2×107-7 200 copies, respectively. In higher contamination level, detection amount of virus was significantly lower (P<0.05) when RNA was extracted and purified by trizol combined with magnetic beads. A statistically significant difference (P<0.05) in virus recovery rate among different food matrices was indicated by one-way ANOVA and Turkey multiple comparison analysis. Conclusion: The established RT-ddPCR assay in food could effectively detect HAstV in contaminated food. However, the single RT-ddPCR quantitative result could not reflect actual virus load in food which could be calculated by applying recovery rate.
Abstract:A rapid method was presented for the determination of 19 quinolone antibiotics in milk by ultra high performance liquid chromatography/ quadrupole orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry. Milk samples were extracted by acidified acetonitrile and purified by PRiME HLB solid phase extraction column, then separated by Waters Acquity BEH C18 column (100 mm×2.1 mm, 2.5 μm) using a binary solvent system composed of acetonitrile and water(0.1% formic acid) by gradient elution. The analytes were determined by quadrupole-orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry in full-MS and data-dependent scan (ddMS2) mode. The results showed that mass accuracy error of the 19 quinolones were lower than 3.0×10-6, linear relationships were well in the range of 0.2-200 ng/mL for 19 antibiotics, and correlation coefficients were higher than 0.998. The LODs were in the range of 0.1-0.5 μg/kg and the LOQs were in the range of 0.2-1.0 μg/kg. With spike levels in the range of 0.2-10.0 μg/kg, recovery of the method was in range of 62.1%-100.4% and relative standard deviations were lower than 10%. The method is simple, rapid, accurate, which is suitable for the rapid screening and quantitative analysis of 19 kinds of quinolones antibiotics in milk sample.
Abstract:Antibacterial activity of ethanol extract from Allium prattii against Staphylococcus aureus was analyzed by broth dilution and Oxford cup methods. Effects of ethanol extract from A. prattii on contents of extracellular metal ions and biological macromolecules(i.e. proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides), conductivity of culture medium, integrity of cell walls and ultrastructure of S. aureus were investigated using atomic absorption spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy and so on. Phytochemicals of ethanol extract from A. prattii were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography. And antibacterial mechanism of ethanol extract from A. prattii was discussed. The minimum inhibitory mass concentration of ethanol extract from A. prattii was 15 mg/mL. After S. aureus was treated with ethanol extract from A. prattii, contents of extracellular K+, Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+, proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides markedly increased, and conductivity of culture medium significantly improved. Ethanol extract from A. prattii seriously destroyed cell morphology. Two sulfur compounds (allicin and alliin), four nitrogen compounds (uridine, β-thymidine, adenosine and 2'-deoxyadenosine monohydrate) and four flavonoids (rutin, kaempferol, quercetin and isorhamnetin) were detected in ethanol extract from A. prattii. Antibacterial activity of ethanol extract from A. prattii against S. aureus was possibly attributed to its phytochemicals such as rutin, quercetin, allicin and kaempferol.
Abstract:In order to explore the effects of different edible oils and fried foods on the formation of trans fatty acids, five varieties of edible oils (sunflower oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, palm oil and peanut oil) were used to fry 14 batches of fritters at a certain temperature. The fritters, in turn, use soy-fried tofu, fritters and chicken legs to analyze the frying oil produced in both cases by gas chromatography to compare the trans fatty acid content. The results showed that the content of trans fatty acids in edible oil increased with the extension of frying time. The total content of trans linoleic acid in sunflower oil was the highest, reaching about 12 mg/g, and the trans oleic acid was lowest in peanut oil, about 0.6 mg/g. The content of trans fatty acids in soybean oil did not change significantly during the frying process, and remained at about 3.5 mg/g. It can be seen that the trans fatty acids produced by different types of edible oils have a large difference in heating process. When using soybean oil to fry tofu, fritters and chicken legs respectively, there is no significant difference in frying oil trans fatty acids. Indicating the frying process, the trans fatty acids are mainly derived from the oxidative cleavage and isomerization of unsaturated fatty acids in edible oils, and have little to do with frying materials. From the perspective of the formation of trans fatty acids, it is recommended to use soybean oil for long-term frying in cooking, and it is not suitable to use sunflower oil.
Abstract:The n-3PUFA in the seal oil ethyl ester was enriched by urea adduction and molecular distillation. The physicochemical index, fatty acid composition and volatile substance in the seal oil during the enrichment were analyzed by physicochemical analysis, GC and HS-SPME-GC-MS. The results showed that the saponification value and iodine value were significantly improved by urea adduction and molecular distillation while had no significant effect on the acid value and peroxide value. The content of SFA was significantly decreased after urea adduction while n-3PUFA present the opposite tendency. There was a significant decrease in the content of MUFA. However, some long chain MUFA (C16:1,C18:1 and C20:1) still occupied larger percentage. The SFA and MUFA were separated effectively after molecular distillation and products with n-3PUFA content of 92.96% were obtained. There was no significant difference in the quantity of volatile substances between the material, urea adduction sample and molecular sample. The content of volatile substances in the urea adduction sample was significantly higher than the material and the material was significantly higher than that of the molecular distillation sample. The main volatile substances that contribute to the change were ethanol, 2-ethyl hexanol, fifteen carbon enol, nonanal, undecanal, 3,5-octadien-2-one, 2-nonanone, 2-heptanone.
