Natural acylsucrose, often found in the glandular trichomes of Solanaceae plants, has potential applications in many industries, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. In this study, we engineered an Escherichia coli strain to complete the biosynthesis of acylsucroses through whole-cell transformation. Using acylsucrose acyltransferases and CoA ligases, acylsucroses, including monoacylsucrose S1:5 ("S" represents an acylsucrose backbone, the number before the colon indicates the number of acyl chains, and the number after the colon indicates the sum of carbons in all acyl chains), diacylsucrose S2:10, triacylsucrose S3:14, and triacylsucrose S3:15 were synthesized from the substrate sucrose and short branched-chain fatty acids by the engineered E. coli EcoSE07, of which S3:15 was the primary product. Several strategies were applied to improve acylsucrose production, including codon optimization, constitutive promoter replacement, and serial resting cell assays. The use of fed-batch fermentation with an engineered E. coli strain of EcoSE22 containing a constitutive promoter further improved the production of acylsucroses. Serial resting cell assays with an optical density of 50 at 600 nm significantly increased the production of acylsucroses S3:15 and S2:10. These findings will facilitate the synthesis of natural acylsucroses through whole-cell transformations and provide the potential for future industrial applications.

为了解加拿大烟叶与云南KRK26 烟叶的品质区别,通过主成分分析、正交偏最小二乘判别分析等方法,对二者香气成分的差异进行比较分析.结果表明:两种烟叶中共检测出 9 类 117 种香气成分,加拿大烟叶有114 种,云南KRK26 烟叶有113 种,其中110 种为两者共有;筛选得到两种烟叶差异成分65 种,占共有香气成分的 50.6%,其中加拿大烟叶中 22 种成分含量较高,占比为 33.8%,主要为半挥发性有机酸类和倍半萜类,43 种成分含量较低,占比为 66.2%,主要为类胡萝卜素降解产物;相较于云南KRK26 烟叶,加拿大烟叶中长链脂肪酸和倍半萜类含量较高,而类胡萝卜素降解产物(如巨豆三烯酮、大马酮、二氢大马酮等)含量相对较低.类胡萝卜素降解产物和半挥发性有机酸的差别,可能是造成两种烟叶香气风格差异的主要因素之一.
Significant progress has been demonstrated in the development of bifunctional oxide-zeolite catalyst concept to tackle the selectivity challenge in syngas chemistry. Despite general recognition on the importance of defect sites of metal oxides for CO/H2 activation, the actual structure and catalytic roles are far from being well understood. We demonstrate here that syngas conversion can be steered along a highly active and selective pathway towards light olefins via ketene-acetate (acetyl) intermediates by the surface with coordination unsaturated metal species, oxygen vacancies and zinc vacancies over ZnGaOx spinel-SAPO-34 composites. It gives 75.6% light-olefins selectivity and 49.5% CO conversion. By contrast, spinel-SAPO-34 containing only a small amount of oxygen vacancies and zinc vacancies gives only 14.9% light olefins selectivity at 6.6% CO conversion under the same condition. These findings reveal the importance to tailor the structure of metal oxides with coordination unsaturated metal sites/oxygen vacancies in selectivity control within the oxide-zeolite framework for syngas conversion and being anticipated also for CO2 hydrogenation.

It is well known that 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (DDMP) is usually formed in the Maillard reaction and it contributes to the antioxidant properties of Maillard reaction intermediates. A series of hydroxyl group protected DDMP derivatives were synthesized to further understand the source of antioxidant activity. Antioxidant abilities of the DDMP derivatives were evaluated by scavenging the 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cationic radical (ABTS˙+), 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), and galvinoxyl radical, respectively. It was found that the introduction of protecting groups to the free hydroxyl groups of DDMP decreases their reducing abilities. In particular, the hydroxyl group at the olefin position exhibited a remarkable impact on the antioxidant activity of DDMP, indicating that the unstable enol structure in the DDMP moiety is the key factor for its antioxidant activity.

2,3-Dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (DDMP) exists in many foods, and its effect on taste is controversial. The aim of this study was to clarify whether DDMP has bitter taste or not. For this purpose, DDMP was synthesized from maltol instead of from glucose for the first time. In contrast, DDMP derived from glucose was also prepared and further purified. Their structures were identified by NMR and MS, and considered to be the same substance. The sensory analysis showed that DDMP derived from maltol was tasteless. Further studies indicated that some impurities in Maillard reaction made DDMP derived from glucose taste bitter.
3-(2-Aminoethyl)pyrroles are important intermediates for the formation of the 6-azaindole skeleton. It was difficult to synthesize 3-(2-aminoethyl)pyrroles from pyrrole by Friedel-Crafts alkylation directly because of the inactive site. The electron withdrawing groups were introduced at the alpha-position of pyrrole to form a positioning effect at the diagonal beta-position. With anhydrous AlCl3 as the catalyst, nitroalkenes could be added to the 3-position of pyrrole via Friedel-Crafts alkylation to obtain substituted 3-(2-aminoethyl)pyrroles.
