高压和酶解对热变性大米蛋白溶解及结构特征的影响(英文)

研究了100MPa高压和酶解处理对热变性大米蛋白溶解性和分子结构特征的影响。结果显示:高压处理后再用Alcalase(碱性蛋白酶)酶解可使大米蛋白的溶解性由单纯酶解时的58.9%提高到75.33%;SE-HPLC(高效液相凝胶色谱法)分析显示,高压处理可使57~105ku的大分子蛋白质溶出,且随着酶解时间延长,该组分消失,4.4和2.0ku组分含量增加,而非高压处理者没有大分子的溶解;FTIR(傅里叶红外光谱)分析显示,高压处理的样品中β-折叠和β-转角结构占主导地位;SEM(扫描电子显微镜)分析表明,高压处理使致密的大米蛋白体结构变得疏松。以上结果表明,高压处理改变了蛋白的空间结构,进而改变蛋白的酶解位点,从而提高了大米蛋白的溶解性。

 为了研究超高压处理对荔枝果肉中过氧化物酶（POD）、果胶甲基酯酶（PME）及可溶性蛋白含量的影响,将荔枝（“淮枝”品种）果肉在100~400 MPa压力、10 ℃温度条件下处理30 min,采用分光光度法测定果肉中POD、PME的活性,用天然凝胶电泳法以及活性染色法测定POD、PME同工酶的变化,用SDS凝胶电泳法测定果肉中可溶性蛋白含量。结果表明：100~200 MPa超高压处理使荔枝果肉中POD活性上升且出现新的同工酶,300~400 MPa超高压处理则使其活性降低且新出现的同工酶消失;100 MPa压力处理使荔枝果肉中PME活性上升且出现新的同工酶,200~400 MPa超高压处理则使其活性降低且新出现的同工酶消失;100 MPa超高压处理使荔枝果肉中可溶性蛋白含量有所增加,而在200~400 MPa压力处理下其含量持续下降。     

大豆硒蛋白构象的光谱法研究

采用荧光光谱、紫外光谱并结合红外光谱对比研究了大豆硒蛋白和大豆蛋白的结构区别,并用荧光相图法分析了脲诱导下两种蛋白的去折叠过程。考察了温度、pH值对大豆硒蛋白质构象的影响,同时对其乳化稳定性能进行了测定。结果表明,与大豆分离蛋白相比,大豆硒蛋白分子中的共价二硫键受到破坏,分子内氢键作用减弱,疏水相互作用增强,蛋白质分子发生伸展。大豆硒蛋白在溶液中只呈现“折叠”和“松散”两种状态,与大豆蛋白相比更容易被水解变性。升高温度,大豆硒蛋白溶液存在明显荧光热猝灭效应,疏水性逐渐增强,蛋白质分子趋于折叠。在pH值2.8～8.0的范围内,大豆硒蛋白的Trp残基主要分布于其分子外部的极性环境中,并随pH值变化在等电点两侧呈现不同的构象变化。在酸性环境中大豆硒蛋白较易发生从松散到折叠的构象转变,碱性条件则较有利于大豆硒蛋白以松散的结构存在。此外,基于紫外光谱数据分析了大豆硒蛋白乳化特性,结果表明降低温度有利于增强大豆硒蛋白的乳化性能,但使其稳定性能下降。     

微胶囊形成过程中蛋白质二级结构变化的红外光谱分析

选用乳清蛋白、大豆分离蛋白分别与麦芽糊精共混作为微胶囊壁材,用红外光谱法研究这两种蛋白质在微胶囊形成前后的结构变化。结果表明：两种蛋白质分别与麦芽糊精共混,经过加热和喷雾干燥后,蛋白质的二级结构发生了改变,其中乳清蛋白二级结构α-螺旋含量降低1.90%,β-折叠含量增加0.89%,β-转角增加8.19%,无规卷曲减少7.18%。大豆分离蛋白二级结构α-螺旋含量降低1.64%,β-转角含量降低0.47%,β-折叠增加10.20%,无规卷曲减少了9.03%。同时,两种蛋白质的酰胺Ⅰ带均向低波数方向移动,说明在微胶囊壁结构形成过程中两种蛋白质与麦芽糊精之间发生了相互作用,形成的氢键作用力较强。利用扫描电镜观察分别用两种蛋白质作为壁材包埋大豆油脂微胶囊的表面微结构,发现使用α-螺旋含量高的乳清蛋白为壁材的微胶囊表面更光滑、完整。     

高压对米曲霉理化性质影响及诱变的研究

 在100~400 MPa压力、保压20 min的条件下处理酱油酿造菌种——米曲霉,研究高压对米曲霉存活率、形态特征、生理性质、蛋白酶、淀粉酶活性等的影响,并诱变筛选优良菌株。结果表明：高压对米曲霉的存活率、形态特征有明显的影响;压力对蛋白酶及淀粉酶活性的影响也有特异的规律,即在一定压力范围内（0.1~200 MPa）蛋白酶的活性随着压力的增加而减小,但随着压力的进一步升高（200~400 MPa）蛋白酶的活性又逐渐增强,在300 MPa时超过对照组,400 MPa时蛋白酶的活性达到最高值;淀粉酶在0.1~100 MPa时活性下降,在200 MPa时其平均的糊化和糖化活性最强、活力最高,当压力升高活性又开始降低,400 MPa时几乎又回到对照值。另外,高压处理后获得一株理想的变异菌株HP300a：生长速度快、孢子数量多、蛋白酶活力高,且不易被杂菌污染。其成曲的几项主要指标均优于对照株,酿出酱油的几项主要指标也明显优于对照株。为利用高压诱变筛选米曲霉优良菌种、提高酿造酱油产品的产量及质量提供了理论依据,并发现了高压处理米曲霉引起其蛋白酶及淀粉酶活性改变的特殊规律。     

采用FTIR技术研究高压处理对冻干大豆分离蛋白构象的影响

采用傅里叶转换红外光谱技术(FTIR)研究了高压(HP)处理对冷冻干燥的大豆分离蛋白(SPI)构象的影响。在SPI的去卷积FTIR光谱的酰胺Ⅰ′区域(1 600～1 700 cm-1),观察到12个与蛋白构象相关的红外吸收峰,分别对应于CO键伸缩振动与肽键的C—N伸缩振动。通过对该区域的峰强度与波数分析显示,压力为200～400 MPa的HP处理导致SPI在该区域的峰发生明显的“红移”(约2 cm-1),强度也显著增加。更高的HP处理进一步增强了SPI的酰胺Ⅰ′区域的峰强度。对酰胺Ⅱ峰分析显示,HP处理导致酰胺Ⅱ峰(如1 560～1 500 cm-1)的强度、面积逐渐增加(与压力呈正相关)。以上分析显示,HP处理导致SPI的二级与三级结构逐渐打开,然而变性蛋白的结构在高压释放后经历一个“重构过程”。     

高压对食品胶溶液流变特性的影响

 经高压处理后,卡拉胶、琼胶、高甲氧基果胶、海藻酸钠、黄原胶和瓜尔豆胶等六种食品胶溶液的粘度变化不同。卡拉胶和琼胶溶液的粘度显著增加,高甲氧基果胶、海藻酸钠和瓜尔豆胶溶液的粘度变化较小,而黄原胶溶液的粘度明显降低。动态粘弹性测量表明,卡拉胶和琼胶溶液的贮藏模量（G′）在高压处理后明显减小,而且G′变得小于G″,这表明卡拉胶和琼胶溶液的弹性变小。高甲氧基果胶、海藻酸钠和瓜尔豆胶溶液的损耗正切值（tan δ=G″/G′）在处理后几乎没有变化,黄原胶溶液的tan δ略微减小。高压处理后食品胶溶液流变特性的不同变化表明,高压处理对食品胶的影响因其种类、胶分子的结构和胶在水溶液中的构象而异。文中对造成这些变化差异的可能原因进行了探讨。

 对经高静水压处理的水稻粤香占（Oryza sativa L. cv. Yuexiangzhan）种子播种后的植株进行了抗氧化酶活性的测定和对逆境胁迫响应的研究。结果表明,高压处理抑制了水稻生长早期（12 d）色素和蛋白质含量的增加,并使早期抗氧化酶活性表现较对照低。随着播种天数增加,经高压处理的材料中的色素、蛋白质含量不同程度地增加,抗氧化酶活性发生改变,至播种后32 d时,高压处理的叶绿素含量和可溶性蛋白含量都高于对照粤香占。在自然低温条件下,经高压（干压、湿压）处理的植株其Rubisco大、小亚基含量和光合色素含量较高,抗光抑制能力增强,具一定的耐低温性。     

在高压诱导蛋白质变性过程中水产生的压缩对它的影响

实验表明水的压缩系数随着压强的改变会发生变化,这种改变将对高压致蛋白质变性的充分含水动力学模拟结果产生直接影响,然而很多高压变性的分子动力学模拟并没有考虑这一点.在温度为300 K,压强为200 MPa、1000 MPa时,利用GROMACS软件包对两种小蛋白Chignolin和Trpcage进行了总计300ns的分子动力学模拟,模拟中考虑了水的压缩系数随压强的改变情况,然后将模拟结果与压缩系数维持在O.1 MPa时的情况进行了比较.结果发现,压缩系数对蛋白质高压变性的影响很大,依据实验数据对不同压强的压缩系数进行调整后,小蛋白Chignolin在高压变性中出现完全去折叠.这为分子动力学模拟研究蛋白质高压变性提供了正确的途径和理论依据.

Effect of high hydrostatic pressure and reducing sodium chloride and phosphate on physicochemical properties of beef gels

ABSTRACT

The effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment (100–200?MPa, 10?min, 20°C) combined with sodium chloride and sodium phosphate on the physicochemical properties of beef gels was investigated. The water content, cooking losses, color, protein composition by SDS-PAGE analysis and texture parameters of beef gels were determined. The beef gels treated with high pressure at 150?MPa showed a synergistic effect in the increased water content and the decreased cooking losses compared with the unpressurized gels. The L*, a* and b* color values of beef gels were slightly decreased under HHP treatment at 100–200?MPa. In the SDS-PAGE analysis, the staining intensity of the α-actinin protein band was decreased in pressurized samples. The cohesiveness, adhesiveness, gel strength and modulus of elasticity were improved after HHP treatment. Application of high pressure treatment (150–200?MPa) before heat treatment would be beneficial for the manufacturing of low salt and/or low phosphate meat products for a healthy diet.     

Influence of high pressure treatment on rheological and other properties of egg white

Abstract

The paper deals with the influence of high pressure treatment of fresh egg white on its properties and protein composition (individual amino-acids predicted as a function of pressure and time levels). The rheological properties are changed by high pressure from Newtonian to non-Newtonian behaviour, with increasing apparent viscosity as the pressure and time increased. The pH, whipping ability, foam stability, gel strength of heat induced gels after treatment and the whole protein content, were also predicted.

The results showed that the foam stability is increased with increasing pressure and time of processing. The foam volume is also increased with pressure. The pH did not change with pressure or time of processing. Composition of proteins as indicated by individual amino-acids did not exhibit statistically important changes. Gel strength of heat induced gels prepared from previously pressured liquid whites showed no important change of values with pressure or time of treatment. The modulus of elasticity showed a decrease for samples pressured to 400 MPa for 5 up to 15 minutes.     

High-pressure effects on cooking loss and histological structure of beef muscle

In this study, we investigate the effects of high pressures (up to 600 MPa) applied at room temperature for 10 min on beef cooking loss and structure. The data on cooking loss, pH and protein solubility, as well as the electron microscopy, illustrate the changes in cooking loss and structure with high pressure processing (HPP). There is a significant reduction in cooking loss of beef with HPP. When the beef sample is imposed upon by 300 or 400 MPa, the cooking loss reduction is about 12%. Further, the pH of beef is dramatically increased as the pressure increases, and the pH increases by about 5% when imposed upon by 500 MPa. When a high pressure was applied at room temperature, the structure of the beef tissue apparently changed. Muscle fiber fragments gradually became slender and sarcomeres became lengthened. Our data indicated that high-pressure treatment on beef leads to stretching of the muscle fiber and an increase in the water-holding capacity.     

Combined effects of high pressure and sodium hydrogen carbonate treatment on beef: improvement of texture and color

We investigated the effect of combined high pressure and sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO₃) treatment on the physical properties and color of silverside Australian beef. Meat samples were pressurized at 100–500 MPa and the water content, weight reduction, rupture stress, and meat color were determined. The water content of meat treated with NaHCO₃ and high pressure (300 MPa) reached a maximum of 70.1%. Weight reduction tended to decrease with high pressure treatment at 300 MPa. Meats treated with NaHCO₃ and high pressure at 400 MPa showed a>50% decrease in hardness. Whitening of the meat was reduced by the combined high pressure and NaHCO₃ treatment. Therefore, the combined high pressure and NaHCO₃ treatment is effective for improvement of beef quality.     

Effect of high pressures on the enzymatic activity of commercial milk protein coagulants

This study was aimed at determining the effect of high pressures in the range of 100–1000 MPa/15 min, applied in 100 MPa increments, on the coagulating and proteolytic activity of commercial coagulants produced with genetic engineering methods: Maxiren, Chymogen, Chymax and of a natural rennin preparation, Hala. The coagulating activity of Hala preparation differed compared with the other preparations, due to greater resistance to high pressures, especially in the range of 500–600 MPa. The preparations produced with genetic engineering methods lost their capability for milk protein coagulation by 500 MPa. Pressurization at 200 MPa contributed to their reduced capability for casein macroproteolysis. In contrast, an increase in Chymax, Chymogen, Maxiren and Hala preparations’ hydrolytic capability for the macroproteolysis of isoelectric casein was observed upon pressure treatment at 100 and 400 MPa and for microproteolysis after pressure treatment at 200 MPa. Storage (48 h/5°C) of the pressurized preparations had an insignificant effect on their coagulating and proteolytic activities.     

Oxy-coal combustion in a 30 kWth pressurized fluidized bed: Effect of combustion pressure on combustion performance,pollutant emissions and desulfurization

Oxy-coal combustion with pressurized fluidized beds has recently emerged as a promising carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology for coal-fired power plants. Although a large number of energy efficiency analyses have shown that an increase in combustion pressure can further increase the net plant efficiency, there are few experimental studies of pressurized oxy-coal combustion conducted on fluidized bed combustors/boilers with continuous coal feeding. In this study, oxy-coal combustion experiments with lignite and anthracite were conducted with a 30 kW_th pressurized fluidized bed combustor within the pressure range of 0.1 MPa to 0.4 MPa. The investigation focused on the elucidation of the impacts of combustion pressure on the combustion performance, pollutant emissions and desulfurization of oxy-coal combustion in fluidized beds. The results showed that an increase in pressure increased the combustion efficiency and combustion rate of coal particles, and the promoting effect of pressure increase was more significant for the high rank coal with smaller particle size and the high O₂ concentration atmosphere. For both coals, NO_x emissions decreased with pressure but N₂O emissions increased with pressure and accounted for a considerable part of the nitrogen oxide pollutants under high pressure oxy-coal combustion conditions. The pressure had insignificant impact on the SO₂ emissions of oxy-coal combustion but an increase in pressure enhanced the direct desulfurization of limestone.     

Production of nanofibers by electrospinning under pressurized CO2

Electrospinning is one of the simple technical methods for the production of polymer nanoparticles and nanofibers. Various polymers have been successfully electrospun into ultrafine particles and fibers in recent years mostly in solvent solution and some in melt form. In this work, near- and supercritical CO₂ were used as media for this process. At these conditions, the solubility can be tuned by controlling the temperature and pressure. Therefore, it is possible to form particles and fibers within a thermodynamic window where the biopolymer has been softened, but not dissolved. The experiments were conducted by using electrospinning under pressurized CO₂ system at pressures of ～ 8.0 MPa and temperature of 313 K to produce several polymers fibers. Polyvinylpyrrolidone was used as the starting material. During the electrospinning process, the applied voltage was 10–17 kV and the distance of nozzle and collector was 8 cm. The concentration of polymer solution was 4 wt%. The morphology- and structure-produced fibers were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that temperature and pressure affected the morphology of fibers produced by electrospinning in pressurized CO₂. This suggests that the thermal behavior of the polymer can be optimized by adjusting the polymer through the adjustment of pressure and temperature by using CO₂ as a solvent.
