      Abstract (476) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The mechanism of the interaction bighead carp myosin binding characteristic fishy odor compounds was illustrated by establishing a system of myosin-fishy odor compounds. The interaction of myosin with fishy odor compounds were explored by HS-GC-MS, molecular simulation, DSC, Raman spectroscopy, etc. The results showed that the binding ability of myosin with six fishy odor compounds increased significantly with the increase of carbon chain length and unsaturation degree. In addition, the binding ability of 1-octen-3-ol was significantly lower than that of aldehydes. The existence of odor compounds unfolded the molecular structure of myosin and caused the transformation of α-helix to β-sheet and β-turn. Meanwhile, the surface hydrophobicity of myosin, total sulfhydryl groups and active sulfhydryl group increased, while the absolute value of Zeta potential and thermal stability of myosin decreased. Moreover, the effect of aldehydes on the structure of myosin was significantly higher than that of alcohols. The interaction forces between selected fishy substances and myosin were mainly hydrophobic interaction, hydrogen bonding and covalent bonding.

    • Effect of Polyphenols on Thermodynamic Properties of Starch

      Abstract (370) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In this paper, the interaction between five polyphenols and corn starch was studied. The effects of polyphenols on the basic properties of corn starch particle size, iodine binding capacity and pH value were studied. The influence of properties such as the thermodynamics, microstructure and X-ray diffraction of polyphenols on corn starch in the process of retrogradation were analyzed. The results showed that the five polyphenols reduced the iodine binding capacity and pH value of the corn starch solution and increased the particle size of the corn starch. It can be seen from the thermodynamic properties that the five polyphenols reduce the thermal stability of starch and inhibit the retrogradation of corn starch. Among them, the addition of 5% tannic acid reduces the retrogradation ratio by 29.75%, which is the largest. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that a looser matrix could be caused in the dried polyphenol-starch mixture gel, while X- ray diffraction data show that the relative diffraction intensity of starch-polyphenol complex is lower than that of retrogradation starch. This indicates that polyphenol has a tendency to prevent starch retrogradation in the interaction with starch. 5 polyphenols may combine with starch through noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bond or hydrophobic effect.

      2021, 21(7):28-36.

      Abstract (230) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Different molecular weights of ε-PL have different antibacterial activities, but the mechanism that causes this difference is not clear. In this study, Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus was selected as the research object. From the aspects of antibacterial activity, metabolic level, and cell wall, scanning electron microscope (SEM), microplate reader, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and other instruments analyzed the difference in bacteriostatic activity caused by different molecular weight ε-PL, and explored the mechanism of different molecular weight ε-PL on S. aureus. The experiment results showed that compared with the low-molecular-weight(<1 ku) ε-PL treatment group, the high-molecular-weight ε-PL(1-3 ku and >3 ku) makes the surface of the cells sag and shrink to different degrees. The metabolomics method was used to study the differences in the metabolic levels of S. aureus after the action of different molecular weight ε-PL. The results showed that high molecular weight (1-3 ku and > 3 ku) ε-PL and the initial ε-PL inhibited the glycolytic pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle much more than the low molecular weight (<1 ku) ε-PL. It has been verified that the bacteriostatic effects to S. aureus with different molecular weight ε-PL are different, which provides theoretical support for the use of preservatives in actual food processing and production processes.

      2021, 21(7):37-43.

      Abstract (268) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:To analyze the antioxidant properties of Lactobacillus and its relationship with katA gene. Six strains of Lactobacillus from naturally fermented meat products were selected as the research objects, and were evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazol (DPPH), hydroxyl (·OH), superoxide anion (O2-·) free radical scavenging rate, H2O2 tolerance and katA gene expression. The results showed that the main active substances for scavenging ·OH radicals were cell and intracellular substances, while scavenging DPPH and O2-· radicals were mainly metabolites of lactic acid bacteria. The scavenging ability of TR1-1-3 on the three kinds of free radicals was relatively strong, while the scavenging rate of ·OH and O2-· of strain X31 was the lowest and the difference was significant (P<0.05) compared with TR1-1-3. In addition to strain X31, other experimental strains had a certain tolerance to H2O2 in the range of 0-1.0 mmol/L H2O2 concentration, and the tolerance gradually increased with the extension of the culture time within 12-48 hours. The katA gene of strain X31 with low free radical clearance and H2O2 tolerance was negative by specific PCR, while all other strains were positive. This study found that lactic acid bacteria antioxidant capacity has strain specificity, through the apparent data of the scavenging rate of the free radicals of O2-·, ·OH, DPPH and the tolerance to H2O2 of the lactic acid bacteria, combined with the expression of katA gene, it can be used as the detection method for the determination of anti-oxidation lactic acid bacteria. The results can provide theoretical guidance and technical support for the development and application of high-quality strain resources.

    • Studies on the Anti-inflammatory Profile of DPA in Vitro and Its Mechanism

      2021, 21(7):44-51.

      Abstract (296) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The anti-inflammatory profile of DPA was investigated through LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Inflammatory mediators (NO, PGE2) and cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10) were used to assess the anti-inflammatory ability of DPA. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect were also explored from the perspective of NF-κB signal pathway. The results showed that DPA could significantly inhibit the excess production of NO and PGE2 by suppressing the protein expression of iNOS and COX-2. Besides, DPA also inhibited the abnormal production and mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, namely TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 and promoted the production and mRNA expression of anti-inflammation cytokine, IL-10. Furthermore, the LPS-induced activation of NF-κB was significantly inhibited by DPA (stronger than EPA and DHA). Thus, the entry of p50/p65 into nucleus to bind to the inflammatory gene site and the resulting inflammation were suppressed.

      Abstract (390) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Bifidobacterium longum is a dominant strain colonized in the human intestine and is closely related to human intestinal health. Adhesion is a prerequisite for colonization of Bifidobacterium longum in the intestine, so it is particularly important to study the adhesion mechanism of Bifidobacterium longum. bif is a type of extracellular adhesion factor, but its specific adhesion in the intestine has not been clarified. In this experiment, homologous recombination technology was used to construct bif adhesion knockout mutants to study the adhesion of bif gene. Firstly, the bif adhesion gene and PBR322 in the C16 gene of Bifidobacterium longum were used as templates to amplify the upstream and downstream homology arms and tet resistance genes of the bif adhesion gene, and then the upstream and downstream homology arms and tet of the bif adhesion gene, respectively. The resistance gene was ligated to pMD19-t simple vecter, and the intermediate vector pMD19-up, pMD19-down, pMD19-tet was double-digested, and the recovered fragment was ligated to PUC18 to form the knockout vector PUC18-up-tet-down. The host strain was introduced into the strain by electroporation, and the Bifidobacterium longum bif adhesion gene-deficient strain was obtained by homologous recombination screening. The results of colony PCR and sequencing showed that the construction of bif adhesion gene knockout strain was successful, which laid a foundation for further study on the adhesion of bifidobacteria bif gene.

    • Human Intestinal Flora Metabolite Short-chain Fatty Acids Produced from Amino Acids and Effect on Cell Permeability

      2021, 21(7):60-67.

      Abstract (332) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:To investigate the feature of amino acids metabolism of human colonic microbes and the influence of their metabolites on the permeability of epithelial cells, in vitro batch fermentation of human gut microbiota was used. The media were based on general 20 amino acids with bovine serum albumin and NaCl as controls. The feces specimen was collected from 27 healthy people aged 20 to 55 years old. The short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in the broths of 24 h fermentation were detected by gas chromatography. The effects of the amino acids-derived SCFA on the transmembrane resistance of Caco-2 cells was determined. The production of isovaleric acid in the medium containing leucine(Leu) and isoleucine (Ile) was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). After fermentation of the medium containing valine (Val), the level of isobutyric acid was significantly increased (P<0.01). In the medium containing proline (Pro), the production of valeric acid was significantly increased (P<0.01). The results of the cell line showed that valeric acid can significantly increase the transmembrane resistance of Caco-2 cells (P<0.01), while isobutyric acid and isovaleric acid can significantly reduce the transmembrane resistance. As a conclusion, isovaleric acid in the colon content is formed by the degradation of Leu and Ile; isobutyric acid is formed by the metabolism of Val; valeric acid is mainly formed by the metabolism of Pro. Valeric acid can significantly enhance the intestinal mucosal barrier function.

      2021, 21(7):68-75.

      Abstract (273) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:To study effects of heat treatment on the in vitro digestion characteristics of tuna meat and the antioxidant activity of the digests, unheated and heated tuna meat were simulated for gastrointestinal digestion, and the digestibility, molecular weight distribution, antioxidant activity and the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of the digests were analyzed. In addition, the solubility of tuna meat in different solvents before and after heat treatment and its pattern in SDS-PAGE were analyzed to clarify the mechanism of the effects of heat treatment on the digestion characteristics, antioxidant activity and structure of tuna meat at the molecular level. Results showed that after heat treatment, the digestibility of tuna meat was 21.72% lower than control group and DH were significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). During the digestion process, the content of peptides with molecular mass less than 1 ku increased gradually with the extension of digestion time. The maximum value was obtained after 4 h, but the content of the heat-treated group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). At the same time, the antioxidant activity of the digests in heat treatment group was lower than that of the control group at different time, and the scavenging ability of ABTS free radical after 4 h digestion was 931.56 μmol TE/g and 1 028.90 μmol TE/g, respectively, indicating that heat treatment is not conducive to the digestion of tuna meat and releasing small molecule antioxidant peptides. The solubility of tuna meat in different solvent was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05), indicating that new covalent bonds were formed during the heat treatment process of tuna meat. In addition, the degradation of protein subunits was observed in SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The results showed that heat treatment caused thermal denaturation and degradation of tuna meat protein, and new covalent bonds were formed, which changed the structure of protein and thus reduced its digestion efficiency and the release of small molecule peptides with antioxidant activities.

      2021, 21(7):76-86.

      Abstract (228) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Biofilm is a self-protection mechanism produced by microorganisms when exposed to adverse external environment. Most researches focus on pathogenic bacteria and harmful bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria, as important microorganisms in the food industry and human intestinal tract, can better exert their probiotic effects if they are grown in a biofilm state. Extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) are metabolites secreted during the growth of lactic acid bacteria and are the main components of biofilms. The more secreted EPS from lactic acid bacteria, the stronger its ability to produce biofilms. In this study, 41 strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated in the early stage of the research group, and 10 excellent strains were screened and identified using the high-yield biofilm as an index. Taking a strain of Pediococcus lactis RJ2-1-4 as the research object, the effects of changing the composition of the medium on the amount of EPS were discussed. The optimal medium combination for EPS production by Pediococcus lactis RJ2-1-4 is: 20 g/L glucose, 20 g/L soy peptone, and 8 g/L dipotassium hydrogen phosphate. At this time, the EPS yield reaches the maximum value was (427.83±18.40) mg/L.

      Abstract:In order to understand the health function of Qingzhuan Maocha, and investigate the influence on gut microbiota intestinal microorganisms in high-fat diet fed mice. In this study, the main physiological and biochemical indexes of high-fat diet fed mice treated by Qingzhuan Maocha were compared and analyzed, and the structure and composition of gut microbiota were analyzed by using high-throughput sequencing technology. The results showed that Qingzhuan Maocha could significantly reduce the increase of body weight, mesenteric adipose tissue weight, liver weight and the main serum lipids (total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase) levels in high-fat diet fed mice. Meanwhile, Qingzhuan Maocha effectively alleviated liver enlargement, reduced the increase in the volume and number of fat vacuoles in the liver. Qingzhuan Maocha can regulate the gut microbiota disorder induced by high-fat diet, and has the similar composition of healthy gut microbiota with the low-fat diet. A total of 46 key differentially OTU were found that the OTU changed significantly after the high-fat diet, but was adjusted back by Qingzhuan Maocha. Among them, 39 OTU showed significant positive or negative correlation with at least one of the main physiological and biochemical indexes. Qingzhuan Maocha may alleviate metabolic syndrome induced by high-fat diet by adjusting the ratio of Firmicutes/ Bacteroidetes and the relative abundance of Erysipelotrichaceae, Coriobacteriaceae, Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcacea.

      Abstract (232) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In this experiment, C57BL/6 male mice were used to study the effects of grape polyphenol complex on blood lipid reduction based on the changes in body weight and blood lipids in the condition of high-fat diet. The 16S RNA analysis was used to explore the gut microbiota. It was found that grape pomace polyphenols extracts (GPE) and grape seed polyphenols extracts (GSE) could significantly inhibit the weight gain of high-fat diet C57BL/6J mice. GPE gavage for 8 weeks could significantly reduce LDL-c level, while GSE could significantly reduce TG, TC, LDL-c levels. Thus, GPE and GSE could improve lipid disorders in high-fat diet mice and showed a certain effect of lowering blood lipid. Therefore, the intake of GPE and GSE is important for the prevention of hyperlipidemia. Besides, in this experiment, gut microbiota sequencing was used to explain the functional mechanism of grape polyphenol complex, and the effects of intestinal microbes and polyphenols on blood lipids were analyzed. It was found that the gut microbiota affected lipid metabolism and participated in the adjustment of GPE and GSE on blood lipids levels.

      Abstract:In this study, Balb/c mice were exposed to benzopyrene at different doses of 12.5, 62.5, 125, and 250 mg/kg bw to study its dose-response relationship in physiological damage and gut microbiota dysbiosis. The body weight, serum biochemical indicators and oxidative stress indicators of different organs were measured. The results showed that the body weight increased significantly at the dose of 62.5 mg/kg, while decreased sharply at dose of 250 mg/kg. In addition, AST and ALT levels increased gradually with a dose-dependent effect. HDL-C, LDL-C, TC, TG, ALP, and TP levels were significantly decreased only in the 250 mg/kg dose group. Moreover, a dramatic increase in SOD was found only in the livers of mice in the 250 mg/kg dose group, while there was no difference in MDA levels in liver, lung, and colon in all groups. Furthermore, the diversity and species composition of gut microbiota were analyzed in the control group and the 250 mg/kg benzopyrene dose group. The results showed that the abundance of S24-7, Clostridiales, Ruminococcus and Rikenellaceae were decreased strikingly, while the abundance of Enterobacteriaceae, Lactobacillus, Pseudomonas, and Allobaculum were elevated significantly after benzopyrene exposure at dose of 250 mg/kg. In conclusion, gut microbiota dysbiosis maybe one of the ways that benzopyrene causes physiological damage, which provides an important reference for studying the dose-response relationship of benzopyrene and its damage mechanisms.

      Abstract:The effects of mung bean seed-coat on glucose and lipid metabolism in diabetic mice by establishing a high-fat feeding combined with streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse model was investigated. The results showed that, compared with the diabetic mice in the model group, a high-fat diet supplemented with mung bean seed-coat (6%) for 8 weeks could significantly reduced the blood glucose, blood lipid and glycated serum protein levels of mice in the intervention group (P<0.05). Moreover, the insulin secretion levels and glucose tolerance were significantly increased and improved by mung bean seed-coat supplementation(P<0.05), respectively. In addition, the hepatic and pancreatic histopathological observations showed that mung bean seed-coat supplementation could effectively relieve liver and pancreatic tissue damage and increase the number of islets β cells. The significant improvement effects of mung bean seed-coat on diabetic mice are of great practical significance for expanding its application and the development of auxiliary foods for reducing blood sugar.

      Abstract (270) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In the present study, the effect of Antarctic krill oil on the bioavailability of the natural astaxanthin extract from green alga (Haematococcus pluvialis) was evaluated using male Wistar rats as model animals, which were randomly divided into the control group, astaxanthin group, krill oil + astaxanthin group and fish oil + astaxanthin group. The experimental group rats were intragastrically administered with the corresponding fat emulsion while the control group rats were given the bile salts solution. The gavage doses were converted according to the daily intake of 2 g krill oil or 2 g fish oil per day and 12 mg astaxanthin per day for adults. The astaxanthin levels in intestinal contents, intestinal villus and serum of rats at different time points after gavage were detected and the bioavailability was evaluated using the serum AUC0-t value. The results showed that the astaxanthin levels in intestinal contents, intestinal villus and serum of rats from krill oil + astaxanthin group and fish oil + astaxanthin group were significantly higher when compared with the astaxanthin group(P<0.05). The peak value of the astaxanthin level in the serum of rats from krill oil + astaxanthin group was (15.8±2.09) μg/L, which was 4.02 times (P<0.05) of that in the fish oil + astaxanthin group [(3.94±0.27) μg/L], and 8.37 times (P<0.05) of that in the astaxanthin group [(1.89±0.26) μg/L]. More importantly, the AUC0-t value of rats from krill oil + astaxanthin group was (108.4±2.34) μg·h/L, which was 4.63 times (P<0.05) of that in the fish oil + astaxanthin group [(23.4±0.46) μg·h/L], and 7.55 times (P<0.05) of that in the astaxanthin group [(14.4±0.21) μgo·/L]. Antarctic krill oil could significantly ameliorate the bioavailability of the natural astaxanthin in rats and the effect is better than that of fish oil. This study would provide scientific guidance and theoretical support for the development of new Antarctic krill oil derivatives.

      Abstract:The aim of the study was to analyze the bacteria composition of the traditional fermented cheese-milk knot in Xinjiang and the effect of the fermented probiotics on the physiological function and gene expression associated with senescence of Caenorhabditis elegans to explore the mechanism of its anti-aging effect. High throughput sequencing method and biostatistics method were used to analyze the composition and regulation information and the results showed that the dominant bacterial groups were mainly Lactobacillus, Pseudomonas, Streptococcus, Lactococcus and Lactobacillus is the dominant bacterium in the other four samples except RS1.1 samples. Lactobacillus rhamnosus R4, an acid-resistant and bile tolerant probiotic with life-extending effect, was isolated. Transcriptome sequencing showed that L. rhamnosus R4 stimulated the key enzyme coding genes in the insulin signaling pathway. L. rhamnosus R4 significantly increased the transcription levels of sod-3, hsp-16.2, ctl-1, and daf-16, while the expression levels of daf-2 and sir-2.1 were significantly down-regulated, suggesting that their effects on longevity of nematodes depend on insulin signaling pathway.

      Abstract:Using natural taurine as experimental material, the intervention effect of taurine on two acute depression animal models by establishing two acute depression animal models. ICR mice were used as experimental animals. Low taurine (0.5 g/kg bw), medium taurine (1 g/kg bw) and high taurine (2 g/kg bw) dose groups were set. At the same time, solvent control group, model control group and positive (fluoxetine) control group were set. The intervention effect of natural taurine on behavioral despair mice was investigated by establishing behavioral despair animal model. The intervention mechanism of taurine on reserpine induced acute depression was analyzed through behavioral, biochemical indexes in serum and brain tissue. The results showed that taurine medium and high dose groups could significantly improve the depression-like behavior of behavioral despair mice. And ease of the mice induced by reserpine drooping eyelids, and higher depression in mice brain serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine levels, reduce the monoamine oxidase activity, higher content of brain derived neurotrophic factor, reduce corticotrophin releasing factor, adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol levels, improve related biochemical indicators. It is showed that taurine can interfere with depression in both behavioral depression model and reserpine induced depression model, and the mechanism may be related to the increase of monoamine neurotransmitters and the regulation of adrenal dysfunction.

      Abstract (252) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:In order to meet the requirements of pasteurization and sterilization, the conduction heating of liquid food with steam as the heat source usually exist serious heat loss and fouling of the pipeline, which can be solved by microwaves with its dielectric heating properties. In this study, the numerical analysis of the electric field distribution in a novel continuous-flow microwave heating equipment was performed by a coupled multi-physics simulation model, and the effects of operating parameters such as volume flow, input power and microwave frequency on the thermal response were investigated. The accuracy and validity of the simulation model was confirmed by comparing the average outlet temperature in both calculated and experimental results. The results show that the heat absorption of fluid is closely related to the electric field distribution in the resonant cavity, which directly determines the temperature distribution during the heating process, and the region with high field strength is conducive to increasing the fluid heating rate. In addition, the rapid heating region can improve the heating effect of other areas inside the pipeline by means of fluid heat transfer. The changes in volume flow and input power indirectly affect the contribution of dielectric heating and fluid heat transfer to the thermal response, and the microwave frequency also can directly affect the heating effect. The simulation model can comprehensively consider the multiple factors and predict the heating effect, which is helpful to analyze the electromagnetic thermal response of the fluid and promote the microwave replacement of the liquid food thermal processing.

      Abstract:Black rice anthocyanin has good antioxidant activity, but its high water solubility limits its application in oil system. In order to improve the anti-oxidation performance of ordinary black rice anthocyanins, immobilized phosphotungsten heteropoly acid based on SBA-15 was prepared. The immobilized phosphotungsten heteropoly acid was used as catalyst in the esterification of black rice anthocyanins to obtain oil-soluble black rice anthocyanins. In this paper, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to verify that phosphotungstic heteropoly acid could be successfully immobilized in SBA-15 channel. The esterification rate was taken as the inspection index, the relationship between the ratio of black rice anthocyanin to acetic anhydride, the amount of heteropoly acid catalyst, the temperature and time of esterification were studied. At the same time, the molecular structure of anthocyanins from black rice was preliminarily characterized analysis and the antioxidant properties of oils were discussed. The results showed that under the conditions of 1 ∶ 2 reactant ratio, 2.5% catalyst dosage, 95.0 ℃ reaction temperature and 4.5 h reaction time, the esterification rate was about 93% and the recovery rate was over 80%. After esterification, the liposolubility of black rice anthocyanins was significantly improved, and the characteristic absorption peaks of C=O bond and ester group appeared. This indicated that the addition of new ester functional groups improved the lipophilicity of black rice anthocyanins, thus significantly improving the anti-lipid oxidation effect of black rice anthocyanins. The long-term antioxidant activity of oil-soluble black rice anthocyanins in primary soybean oil was preliminarily studied. The results showed that the antioxidant activity of oil-soluble black rice anthocyanins was higher than that of ordinary black rice anthocyanins and VE, and lower than TBHQ at the same addition amount.

      Abstract:Objective: To investigate the quality control mechanism of glutinous rice flour during dynamic change of water in the process of semi-dry method. Method: Changes in apparent cracks image of grain surface and volume were evaluated. The damaged starch content, microscopic structure, hydration properties and pasting properties of glutinous rice flour with different hot air treatment time, soaking time and drying time were determined. Then hardness of glutinous rice grain and water changes trend during process were analyzed. Results: The longer the hot air pretreatment time, the more obvious the apparent crack of glutinous rice. The hardness of glutinous rice grain decreased during hot air treatment and soaking. Glutinous rice flour prepared by hot air treatment for 60 min, soaking for 35 min and drying for 30 min has high integrity of starch granules, good hydration properties and pasting properties. Glutinous rice (flour) contains most tightly bound water. Tightly bound water was lost during hot air and drying treatment while weakly bound water and free water content increased. The mobility of water increased during soaking and part of weakly bound water and free water transfer into tightly bound water. Conclusion: The "out-in-out" of water in rice grains and the dynamic transformation of different kinds of water in this process are the mechanism to reduce the hardness of rice grains and thus protect the integrity of starch granules, and finally obtain the glutinous rice flour with excellent quality.

      Abstract:Acid (citric acid), alkaline (sodium hydroxide) and enzymatic (endo-galacturonase) methods were applied in present study to extract pectic polysaccharide from potato pulp. The effects of the three extract methods on the yield, monosaccharide composition, esterification degree, molar mass and chain morphology of potato pulp pectic polysaccharides were evaluated. Results indicated that three potato pulp pectic polysaccharides were all rich in rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I) structure with large amount of galactan side chain. The highest yield was obtained by alkaline extracted pectic polysaccharide (23.1%), followed by the acid extracted (11.7%) and the enzymatic extracted (6.0%). All the three had very low degree of methylation (DM) (0 to 7.5%), while the degree of acetylation (DA) were all relatively higher than traditional citrus pectin. DA for potato pulp pectic polysaccharides extracted by acid and enzymatic methods were higher (respectively as 13.6% and 10.7%) than that in the alkaline extracted (6.6%). The highest molecular weight was observed in pectic polysaccharide extracted by enzymatic method (1 706.3 ku) with the narrowest distribution. Mark-Howink-Sakurada equation obtained by laser scattering method determined that potato pulp pectic polysaccharide extracted by enzyme had a high degree of branching, and the chain morphology was the most concentrated and closest to the spherical conformation. The morphology of pectic polysaccharide extracted by acid was between sphere and coil, while the morphology of the alkaline extracted was relatively loose and showed as a conformation of random coil.

      Abstract:Grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSP) were added to potato steamed bread in different proportions. The digestible properties of starch in potato steamed bread were studied by in vitro simulated digestion. Rapid viscosity analysis, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to explore the mechanism of GSP inhibiting starch digestion properties in potato steamed bread. Results showed that GSP could significantly reduce the content of rapidly digestible starch and increase the content of slowly digestible starch and resistant starch. FTIR and XRD showed that GSP might bind with starch in potato steamed bread by non-covalent forces such as hydrogen bonding. In addition, GSP significantly increased the viscosity of potato steamed bread powder, which may promote the stability of steamed bread's structure. GSP is a potential functional additive that could be used to reduce the digestibility of starch in potato steamed bread.

      Abstract:In order to investigate the freshness changes of Trachypenaeus curvirostris during storage at different temperatures and to monitor the shelf-life of logistics in real time, Trachypenaeus curvirostris were stored at -30, -18, 0 ℃ and 4 ℃ to determine their K value, volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) value and total number of colonies (TVC), and the shelf-life prediction model was studied. The results showed that with the decrease of storage temperature, the decline rate of shrimp's freshness index also slowed down, the shelf-life was extended, and different temperature groups had a greater impact on the freshness index of shrimps. The kinetic model of storage temperature, storage time and K value, TVB-N value and total number of colonies constructed by using Arrhenius equation and combined with food TTT theory, shows that the fitting degree of each freshness index is good, and R2 > 0.9, the variable shelf-life prediction model of eagle claw shrimp has a higher accuracy rate for shelf-life prediction, and the absolute value of the relative error between the predicted value and the measured value does not exceed 5%. Therefore, the dynamic model based on the freshness index can be used to predict the shelf-life of the cold-chain logistics of Trachypenaeus curvirostris.

Because there are a variety of heavy metals contained in the aquatic products, if there are a large number of consumptions of that kind of food, it is easy to cause adverse effects on the human body with a lot of heavy mental gathering in vivo. Therefore, to assess the consequence which was taken by the food with heavy mental inside have burned the eyebrow. And this paper majored in evaluating the intake and risk probability of heavy metals which are mainly from aquatic products for the people who settle down the coastal area by using crystal ball software. The results showed that, in different age groups, the risk entropy of aquatic product intake with the same heavy metal gradually decreased with age; by the contrast, for the people who are in the same age stage, the risk of heavy metal intake was proportional to the percentile value. In addition, for the various of heavy mental and the different crowd of all ages, the effects which the former put on the latter will present some differences here. The final results indicated that there is the lower risk of consuming chromium in aquatic products for the people of all ages, and the value which obtained from the results is less than 1. But for the children, there is the higher risk for the intake of mercury, chromium, lead and arsenic which the value is more than 1. Moreover, a series of elaborate analysis for the results are required in the rear of this article. After that, we found that the results we obtained have been verified and are basically consistent with the model, which indicates that the model has certain credibility.

      Abstract:To study the specific spoilage organism (SSO) of vacuum-packed ready-to-eat (RTE) abalone and its spoilage potential. According to the results of previous studies, the selective medium was used to isolate and purify SSO from RTE abalone. Identification of SSO in RTE abalone was done by 16S rDNA technology combined with bacterial biochemical identification methods. Inoculated specific spoilage bacteria into RTE abalones, compared them with natural spoilage abalones, analyzed the changes in the drip loss rate, TVB-N, pH value, total number of colonies, PPO and other physical, chemical and sensory indexes of RTE abalones, and discussed the spoilage causes of melanosis, drip loss, softening, rancidity, etc. The results showed that the SSO of the RTE abalone was Bacillus cereus. The spoilage characteristics of RTE abalone inoculated with Bacillus cereus were more obvious. The degradation rate of drip loss, TVB-N, pH value, total number of colonies, PPO and sensory index were far beyond the natural spoilage of abalone. This shows that the presence of Bacillus cereus will accelerate the deterioration of RTE abalone, and greatly shorten the storage time of RTE abalone. It is necessary to take appropriate sterilization measures against Bacillus cereus.

      Abstract:The intestinal microbiota, acting as an important ‘Organ’ in the human body, is related to a diverse variety of physiological functions including immunity, nutrition and metabolism. Culture-independent metagenomic approaches clarify the complex relationship between intestinal microbiota and human health, but it fails to obtain bacterial isolates, the internal mechanism of specific bacteria playing a role in the intestine cannot be identified, and is not conducive to the further discovery of intestinal ‘dark matter’. Consisting of multiple culture conditions combined with the rapid identification of bacteria, the culturomic approach has enabled the culture of hundreds of new microorganisms that are associated with humans, providing a pure culture of microorganisms for in-depth study of bacterial phenotypes and gene functions, as well as screening new probiotics of intestine provide data support. This review summarized the development of culturomics in recent years and its advantages to the study of human intestinal microbiota.

      Abstract:Dietary behavior is a critical cause for the absorption and utilization of the active ingredients of tea. As such, perturbations in diet are significant consequences of tea bioavailability. This review summarizes the effects of dietary on the absorption and utilization of tea components: 1) Meal time, fasting behavior, and dietary restrictions alter physiological conditions and biological clocks, which contribute to the differences in the body; 2) Dietary structure, including protein, carbohydrate, dietary flavonoids, vitamins, and so on, influences directly the transporters, metabolic enzymes, and digestive organs that involved in the metabolism of tea components; and 3) Dietary pattern affects the intestinal microecology by changing the structure and quantity of gut microflora, and then affects indirectly the absorption, utilization, and distribution of tea components. Finally, the research prospect for future research on the intestinal flora and its metabolites in improving the bioavailability of tea components.

      Abstract:Objective: Milk and dairy products play an important role in the nutrition and healthy growth of children. Based on the dietary intake, nutritional status and dairy food consumption level of children in China, the Consensus on Dairy Foods and Child Nutrition has been formed by experts in relevant fields. Method: This consensus was formed by collecting and summarizing scientific articles, comments and records of seminars from experts in the field of nutrition, public health, dairy technology and industry. Results: The nutrition status during the childhood can influence the lifelong health. Dairy products are high quality foods which can meet the nutritional needs of children during their growth by providing sufficient nutrients and bioactive compounds. Besides, nutrient-fortified dairy products can be considered as an effective way to improve the nutritional status of children. It is worthwhile to point out that currently the dairy consumption level of children in China, compared with many developed countries over the world, is severely insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage dairy consumption among children by the adoption of integrated approaches, including the creation of innovative dairy products from the industry, and promotions of dairy consumption via scientific and evidence-based education. Conclusion: This consensus establishes directions for the improvement of children's nutrition, provides scientific proofs for the revision of relevant standards and regulations and guidelines for the development and innovation of the dairy industry in China.
