Lactic fermentation enhances sensory quality and nutritional properties of fruit juice, though its comprehensive impact on sea buckthorn through Lactiplantibacillus plantarum fermentation (LPF) remains unreported. This study used volatolomics and metabolomics to explore mechanism of lactic fermentation improving flavor. LPF reduced total acidity (from 24.01 g/L to 15.79 g/L), increased total flavonoid by 20.35% and polysaccharide contents by 55.64%. It also increased the quantity of volatile compounds (from 36 to 41). β-Damascenone and ethyl isovalerate were key aroma compounds, while the increase of phenylethyl alcohol and phenylacetaldehyde improved sweet, fruity, and floral aroma. The rise of adenosine, hypoxanthine, and ornithine through purine metabolism pathways enhanced umami, the enlargement of pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, and tyramine through Vitamin B6 and tyrosine metabolism pathways increased richness, and the elevated glycyrrhizin, melezitose, and maltotetraose enhanced sweetness. This study provides insight into improving sea buckthorn flavor and direction to produce high quality products.
Lipoxygenase (LOX) catalyzes the dioxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids containing 1,4-cis,cis-pentadiene, contributing to oxidative stress and food rancidity. This study examined the molecular mechanisms of LOX inhibition by four garlic sulfides: diallyl monosulfide (DAS), diallyl disulfide (DADS), diallyl trisulfide (DATS), and diallyl thiosulfinate (Allicin). We proposed the "Adsorption-Embolism" effect of DAS and DADS and the "Quasi-Domain-Separation" effect of DATS and Allicin, enhancing the bioactivity theory of natural sulfides as enzyme inhibitors based on protein modification. DAS and DADS formed an "adsorption embolism" in the substrate channel "W-cavity", reducing its diameter and inhibiting LOX activity. DAS covalently modified Cys492, reinforcing the embolism, while DADS maintained it reversibly through hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. DATS and Allicin targeted the common boundary between the N- and C-terminal domains, modifying Cys127, disrupting non-covalent interactions. These effects led to looser connections or relative movement between the two domains. The "Catalytic-Fe Coordination Cycle" mechanism for LOX-catalyzed linolenic acid oxidation was also illustrated, supporting electron transfer between DAS and Catalytic-Fe and thereby promoting the biochemistry of 1,4-pentadiene conversion. Further studies are needed to explore the structural changes of LOX induced by these garlic sulfides under higher resolution and varied conditions.
Blueberry wine is a nutritional wine which aroma is affected severely by the fermenting condition. In this study, the influence of sulfur dioxide on the volatile composition and aroma of blueberry wine was comprehensively explored. The results indicated that in normal blueberry wine (NBW) fermented with sulfur dioxide, the titratable acid (TA) and total soluble solids content (TSSC) decreased slightly, whereas the ethanol, total phenolic, and vitamin C (Vc) contents increased significantly. The amount of volatile compounds declined significantly to 575 compared to 670 in traditional blueberry wine (TBW), and the relative concentrations of alcohols, acids, esters, and aldehydes markedly reduced. The relative odor activity value (ROAV) of 2,3-butanedione was the highest, and the number of the key aroma compounds shrunk obviously. The sweet, green, and fruity odors declined mainly ascribing to the reduction of 2-heptanol, acetic acid hexyl ester and 2-methyl-butanoic acid ethyl ester. The herbal, woody and floral odor mainly attributed to high contents of linalool, cyclohexene, 4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-ethanol, and ethyl nonanoate. These results indicated that sulfur dioxide retained some nutritional components, while it decreased the variety of the volatile compounds and affected the aroma of blueberry wine.
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), or dihydrogen sulfane (H2Sn), acts as a signal molecule through the beneficial mechanism of persulfidation, known as the post-translational transformation of cysteine residues to persulfides. We previously reported that Glutathione (GSH) could regulate enzyme activity through S-desulfurization or glutathionylation of residues to generate protein-SG or protein-SSG, releasing H2S. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which H2Sn and GSH affect the disulfide bonds. In this study, we provide direct evidences that H2Sn and GSH modify the sulfhydryl group on Cys272, which forms disulfide bonds in acetylcholinesterase (AChE), to generate Cys-SSH and Cys-SSG, respectively. Glutathionylation of disulfide is a two-step reaction based on nucleophilic substitution, in which the first CS bond is broken, then the SS bond is broken to release H2S. H2Sn and GSH controlled self-breathing motion in enzyme catalysis by disconnecting specific disulfide bonds and modifying cysteine residues, thereby regulating AChE activity. Here, we elucidated H2Sn and GSH mechanisms on disulfide in the AChE system and proposed a self-breathing control theory induced by H2Sn and GSH. These theoretical findings shed light on the biological functions of H2Sn and GSH on sulfhydryl and disulfide bonds and enrich the theory of enzyme activity regulation.
Actinidia arguta, a widely consumed fruit, is well-known for its distinct flavor. However, there has been a lack of systematic investigation on the differences in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and aroma characteristics among cultivars. In this study, 10 A. arguta cultivars were analyzed for aroma characteristics by GC-MS, sensory analysis, and OAV combined with chemometrics. A total of 52 VOCs were identified, with terpenoids being the most abundant. Based on partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), 12 VOCs were identified as biomarkers for distinguishing cultivars. Furthermore, 28 VOCs were found as aroma-active compounds, contributing fruity, green, floral, sweet, and minty aroma notes to A. arguta. Notably, alpha-ionone, beta-ionone, and beta-damascening exhibited high OAVs, making a significant contribution to the floral note. An aroma wheel was developed to represent the overall aroma profile of A. arguta. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for quality evaluation and cultivar breeding of A. arguta.
Aging is an important processing step of producing high quality apple brandy. In this study, apple brandies aged by traditional method and using three different toasted oak chips combined with or without ultra-high-pressure (UHP) treatment were prepared to compare their differences in chemical characterization and sensory properties. The results indicated that the brandies aged with toasted oak chip increased the levels of total acidity, volatile acidity and phenolic compounds. It also had the desirable color and taste. The brandy aged with toasted oak chip combined with UHP reached the highest levels of total acidity (1.06 g/L), total phenolic content (284.92 mg/L) and aromatic esters (49.37 %). Therefore, the aging with high toasted oak chip combined with UHP treatment could cut the traditional aging time to meet the same quality as traditional aging method. The results are very useful to develop a fast and efficient aging technique for brandy production.
Actinidia arguta is a nutritious fruit with several health benefits. Recently, A. arguta wine has gained popularity among consumers. However, limited research is available on the effect of different cultivars and yeast strains on fruit wine quality. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to analyze the physicochemical indicators and ester aroma compositions of 16 wines derived from four A. arguta cultivars and fermented using four yeast strains to identify the most favorable combinations. The results showed significant differences in nutritional composition and flavor among the 16 wines. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that wines produced from the Changjiang No. 1 (CJ No. 1) and Liaofeng No. 1 (LF No. 1) cultivars, as well as those fermented with the LA-FR and LA-BA yeast strains, received higher scores. Furthermore, a fuzzy mathematical sensory evaluation (fuzzy logic model) confirmed the reliability of the PCA results, with the highest comprehensive sensory score (1.812) being awarded to CJ No. 1 wine fermented with LA-BA yeast. In this study, we identified the optimal combination of A. arguta cultivars and yeast strains to provide a theoretical reference for the quality control and development of A. arguta wine production.
This work aimed to study the effect of atomized water spray during vacuum pre-cooling on the quality of pakchoi during low temperature circulation and the shelf life period. Quality and nutritional parameters of pakchoi subjected to vacuum pre-cooling combined with atomized water spray were analyzed during simulated circulation for one day at (4 ± 1) ℃ and the shelf life period of five days at (20 ± 1) ℃. The results showed that the co-treatment not only decreased the pre-cooling time by 68%, but also reduced the water loss rate of pakchoi by 73.29% and the mass loss rate after the shelf life by 15.6% in comparison with vacuum precooling alone. The co-treatment also delayed the yellowing process, and maintained higher contents of titratable acids, soluble sugars, and soluble proteins in pakchoi. In addition, on the last day of shelf life, the contents of nitrite and malondialdehyde in the co-treatment group were decreased by 13.70% and 14.82%, respectively compared with the vacuum precooling group. To sum up, vacuum pre-cooling combined with atomized water spray could not only solve the problem of water loss caused by vacuum pre-cooling and shorten the pre-cooling time, but also delay the yellowing of leaves and maintain better nutritional quality of pakchoi.
Fermentation effects the flavor and properties of sea buckthorn. However, little literature has investigated the properties and composition of sea buckthorn during lactic acid fermentation (LAF) and alcoholic fermentation (yeast fermentation, YF). In this study, the compositions of sea buckthorn pulp (SBP) fermented by the lactobacilli and yeast were compared based on widely targeted metabolomics for exploring correlations of metabolic processes with property changes. After fermentation, total flavonoid content increased, the antioxidant capacity improved and the flavor and color varied significantly. LAF, YF and SBP metabolites were significantly separated. The YF had a greater effect on sea buckthorn metabolites, mainly focusing on amino acid metabolism. LAF reduced malic acid content by improving amino acids and nucleotides through purine metabolism. The results proved fermentation can improve the flavor and nutritional value and provided a direction for boosting the quality of the sea buckthorn product.

SummaryApple pomace (APP) is the main by‐product in apple processing industry with abundant functional components. To improve the APP economic value, superfine grinding (SG) was used as an effective processing method. The result showed that SG provided great uniformity and particle size of APP. Also, with SG treatment, the water‐holding capacity and oil‐holding capacity increased from 7.50 to 8.13 g g−1 and from 2.07 to 3.81 g g−1, respectively. Furthermore, SG enhanced the sensory properties by increasing the brightness, yellowness and sweetness and decreasing the sourness and bitterness of APP. For functional properties, SG increased total phenols content, total flavonoids content and the soluble dietary fibre from 5.83 to 8.86 mg g−1, from 4.39 to 6.43 mg g−1 and from 8.50% to 14.51%, respectively. Therefore, SG improved the physicochemical, sensory and functional characteristics of APP powder. The results would provide important information for applying SG techniques in processing APP or other fruit by‐products for future commercial market purposes.

RATIONALE:Oil crops and products are important food materials in daily life. Pesticide residues in food could directly and indirectly endanger human health. However, the method for detecting multiple pesticides simultaneously is limited. In this study, an easy and efficient method for the simultaneous determination of 38 pesticides in oil crops and products was established and validated. METHODS:All samples were treated with a modified QuEChERS procedure followed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS/MS) analysis. Mass spectrometry was performed in positive and negative ion electrospray ionization mode. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic acid in water and 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile. The column used was a Poroshell 120 EC-C18 and the flow rate was 0.3 mL/min. RESULTS:The method was validated so that the calibration curves for all pesticides had good linearity in the concentration range of 10-1000 μg/L with correlation coefficients (R2 ) above 0.9945. The recovery rates were between 70.1 and 120.0%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) (n = 6) ≤20.0%. The limits of quantification (LOQs) ranged from 0.5 to 10 μg/kg, limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 2.0 to 30 μg/kg, and the matrix effect (ME) ranged from -18.77 to 19.33%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method proved to be accurate, sensitive, and stable. It can be used for rapid screening and confirmation of 38 pesticide residues in oil crops and products which takes 10 min for sample extraction and clean-up with less requirement of solvents. This study provides a technical basis for regulatory analysis and quality supervision of foods.
Sea buckthorn has strong physiological activities, which might be attributed to its flavonoid compounds. The heat treatment could speed up the transformation of the flavonoids, so it would affect the properties of the flavonoids. To explore the effect of the heat-treating methods on the sea buckthorn pulp flavonoids, the flavonoid compositions, color and taste properties, and antioxidant activity, prepared by three heating methods, were investigated. The results showed that the extractable sea buckthorn flavonoids rose after heat treatment; the high temperature with high-pressure treatment had the largest yield (3.66 ± 0.21 mg/ml). A total of 16 flavonoid monomers were identified in the sea buckthorn, the content of isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside was the highest in the pulp (589.34 ± 4.72 µg/ml), the concentrations of eight monomers increased after heat-treating, and the treating methods could significantly affect the contents of flavonoid monomers (p < 0.05). The difference in color was positively correlated to the heat-treating time and temperature (p < 0.01); the ΔE value in high pressure with high temperature treatment was the largest (10.59). The heat treatment enhanced bitterness and acidity, while it greatly reduced the saltiness, umami, and sweetness (p < 0.01). The stronger antioxidant capacity of the total flavonoids was accompanied by the higher temperature and longer time of heat treatment. The antioxidant capacity was closely correlated to the contents of flavonoid monomers. Therefore, the heat treatment boosted the content of the flavonoids, enhanced the taste, and improved the antioxidant properties. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study can provide suitable a method for improving the extracting efficiency, improving properties and biological activities of sea buckthorn pulp flavonoids, also provide directions for predicting the antioxidant activity by the flavonoid monomer contents.
Natural compounds have been increasingly investigated as substances enhancing the effect of drugs and reducing drug-related adverse reactions. The objective of this study was to determine how a combination of cisplatin (DDP) with cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) affected malignancy features of cervical cancer cells. The results demonstrated that the proliferation of HeLa cells treated with 5 µg/ml DDP, 400 µg/ml C3G, or a combination of both (5 µg/ml DDP and 400 µg/ml C3G) was inhibited by 17.43%, 34.98%, and 63.38%, respectively. The IC50 values for DDP and the DDP/C3G combination treatments in HeLa cells were 18.53 and 6.435 µg/ml, respectively. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that treatment with DDP, C3G, or the combination induced G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HeLa cells. Furthermore, after treatment, cyclin D1 and Bcl-2 levels decreased; Bax, cleaved caspase-3, p53, and TIMP-1 were activated; and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway was modulated. These anticancer effects were enhanced in cells treated with the combination of DDP and C3G compared to those treated with DDP or C3G alone. Our study indicates that C3G increases the antitumor activity of DDP, suggesting a potential strategy to reduce adverse effects associated with chemotherapy in cervical cancer. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Natural biologically active food ingredients are suggested to have a potential to enhance the effect of chemotherapy in cancer. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it revealed, for the first time, that C3G could increase the antitumor activity of DDP, suggesting a potential strategy to reduce adverse effects associated with chemotherapy in cervical cancer.
