Abstract
Photolytic cleavage of disulfide bonds in proteins by UV light will influence their structure and functionality. The present study aimed to investigate the efficiency of disulfide cleavage by UV-B light in a system without a protein backbone consisting of combinations of cystine (a disulfide) and tryptophan (Trp) or tyrosine (Tyr) under anaerobic and aerobic conditions and to identify oxidation products formed by UV-B light. Cystine was reduced to cysteine (Cys) almost with a 1:1 stoichiometry by photoexcited Trp for anaerobic equimolar aqueous solutions (each 200 μM; pH 7.0), while photoexcited Tyr provided lower concentrations of Cys. The calculation of apparent quantum yields allowed for a comparison between the efficiency of reactions and showed that formation of Cys from disulfide cleavage of cystine was more efficient by photoexcited Trp than by photoexcited Tyr and of cystine alone and that Trp was more sensitive to photodegradation than Tyr and cystine under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Increasing the ratio between cystine and Trp to a 1:2 ratio did not increase the efficiency of free thiol formation but caused a more efficient photodegradation of Trp. The free thiol formed from disulfide cleavage of cystine was further oxidized to other unidentified compounds. Trp oxidation products (3-hydroxykynurenine (3-OH-Kyn) and tryptamine) were only identified in minor concentrations following light exposure of cystine and Trp in 1:1 and 1:2 ratios under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, indicating further photodegradation to unidentified compounds. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) was formed from the oxidation of Tyr in the illuminated samples of cystine and Tyr in a 1:1 ratio under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Abstract
Whey proteins are widely used as ingredients in the form of aggregates to obtain certain functionalities in food applications. The aim of this study was to understand how UV illumination generates aggregates of α-lactalbumin (α-LA) as an alternative to heat treatments traditionally used for industrial production of protein aggregates. Absorption of UV light by α-LA caused cleavage of disulfide bonds and release of thiol groups, which resulted in primarily disulfide-mediated aggregation. This process mediated efficient aggregation with up to 98% monomer conversion into aggregates through formation of intermolecular disulfide bonds, while only minor levels of nonreducible cross-links were observed. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that illumination led to formation of dimeric, trimeric, and oligomeric forms of α-LA. LC-MS/MS analysis showed that all of the four native disulfide bonds in α-LA were cleaved by UV illumination but to different extents, and the extent of cleavage was found to be higher in the absence of calcium. Seventeen different non-native disulfides were formed after 24 h of UV illumination. Two dityrosine bonds were identified (Tyr103-Tyr103 and Tyr36-Tyr103) alongside ditryptophan (Trp118-Trp118) and tyrosine-tryptophan (Tyr50-Trp60) cross-links. In addition, Trp60, Trp118, Cys73, Cys91, Cys120, Phe80, Met90, His68, and His107 were found to be oxidized up to 12% as compared to a nonilluminated control. Our work illustrates that light exposure can be used for generation of α-LA aggregates, but optimization of the illumination conditions is required to reduce oxidative damage to Trp, Cys, Phe, Met, and His residues.

Abstract
Retinal (C20) and the C25 and C30 homologues were compared as radical scavengers together with their C22, C27, and C32 homologues linked with daidzein through a B'3 (isoflavonoid) to oxo-carbon (aldehyde) covalent bond. Oxidation potential in acetonitrile determined by cyclic voltammetry and ionization potential calculated by density functional theory for the aldehydes and dyads (conjugates), of which the two longer are new, decreased linearly with the wavenumber for absorption maximum. The logarithm of the second-order rate constant for scavenging of the ABTS•+ increased linearly with decreasing oxidation potential suggesting that longer conjugation in the antioxidant increases the rate of electron transfer. A similar linear free energy relationship was found for the rate of scavenging DPPH•, including daidzein, which may indicate involvement of hydrogen atom transfer from an isoflavonoid phenol. Prediction of radical scavenging efficiency from visible absorption spectra was demonstrated with the perspective of rational design of bifunctional amphiphilic antioxidants.

Abstract
The beneficial effect of polyphenols and magnesium(II) against oxidative stress motivated our research group to explore the antioxidant activity of phenMgIso, an aqueous soluble magnesium(II) complex containing 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and isovanillic acid (Iso) as ligands. Combined electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry and DOSY-NMR techniques identified two complexes in methanolic solution: hexacoordinated [Mg(phen)2(Iso)]+ and tetracoordinated [Mg(phen)(Iso)]+. The cyclic voltammogram of phenMgIso in the anodic region showed a cyclic process that interrupts the isovanillic acid degradation, probably by stabilization of the corresponding phenoxyl radical via complexation with Mg(II), which is interesting for antioxidant applications. phenMgIso competes with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine by 1O2 with IC50(1O2) = 15 μg m-1 and with nitrotetrazolium blue chloride by superoxide ions (IC50(O2 •-) = 3.6 μg mL-1). Exposure of both zebrafish (2 mg L-1) and wistar male rats (3 mg kg-1 day-1 dose for 21 days) to phenMgIso does not cause mortality or visual changes compared with the respective control groups, thus phenMgIso could be considered safe under the conditions of this study. Moreover, no significant changes in comparison to both control groups were observed in the biochemical parameters on the brain-acetylcholinesterase activity, digestive tract enzyme catalase, and glutathione-S-transferase. Conversely, the performance of superoxide dismutase activity in wistar male rats increased in the presence of a complex, resulting in enhanced capacity of rats for superoxide radical enzymatic scavenging. The synergistic action of phenMgIso may be explained by the strong electrostatic interaction between Mg(II) and the O,O(phenolate) group, which makes the Iso ligand easier to oxidize and deprotonate, generating a cyclic stable species under oxidative conditions.

Abstract
We have investigated the synergism between plant phenols and carotenoids in protecting the phosphatidylcholine (PC) membranes of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) from oxidative destruction, for which chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) was used as a lipophilic photosensitizer. The effect was examined for seven different combinations of β-carotene (β-CAR) and plant phenols. The light-induced change in GUV morphology was monitored via conventional optical microscopy, and quantified by a dimensionless image-entropy parameter, ΔE. The ΔE-t time evolution profiles exhibiting successive lag phase, budding phase and ending phase could be accounted for by a Boltzmann model function. The length of the lag phase (LP in s) for the combination of syringic acid and β-CAR was more than seven fold longer than for β-CAR alone, and those for other different combinations followed the order: salicylic acid < vanillic acid < syringic acid > rutin > caffeic acid > quercetin > catechin, indicating that moderately reducing phenols appeared to be the most efficient membrane co-stabilizers. The same order held for the residual contents of β-CAR in membranes after light-induced oxidative degradation as determined by resonance Raman spectroscopy. The dependence of LP on the reducing power of phenols coincided with the Marcus theory plot for the rate of electron transfer from phenols to the radical cation β-CAR˙+ as a primary oxidative product, suggesting that the plant phenol regeneration of β-CAR plays an important role in stabilizing the GUV membranes, as further supported by the involvement of CAR˙+ and the distinct shortening of its lifetime as shown by transient absorption spectroscopy.

Abstract
Luteolin differs as a radical scavenger dramatically from apigenin in response to Cu(II) coordination despite a minor structural difference. Coordination of Cu(II) increases the radical scavenging efficiency of luteolin, especially at low pH, while decreases the efficiency of apigenin at both low and higher pH as studied by ABTS•+ radical scavenging. Luteolin forms a 1:1 complex with Cu(II) binding to 4-carbonyl and 5-phenol for pH <6 and to 3',4'-catechol for pH >6. Apigenin forms a 1:2 complex independent of pH coordinated to 4-carbonyl and 5-hydroxylyl. Cu(II) coordinated to luteolin, as studied by pH jump stopped-flow, translocates with rate constants of 11.1 ± 0.3 s-1 from 4,5 to 3',4' sites and 1.0 ± 0.1 s-1 from 3',4' to 4,5 sites independent of Cu(II) concentration, pointing toward the dissociation of Cu(II) from an intermediate with two Cu(II) coordination as rate determining. 3',4'-Catechol is suggested to be a switch for Cu(II) translocation with deprotonation initiating 4,5 to 3',4' translocation and protonation initiating 3',4' to 4,5 translocation. For dicoordinated apigenin, the coordination symmetry balances an electron withdrawal effect of Cu(II) resulting in a decrease of phenol acidity and less radical scavenging efficiency compared to parent apigenin. Compared to that of parent luteolin, the radical scavenging rate of both 4,5 and 3',4' Cu(II)-coordinated luteolin is enhanced through increased phenol acidity by electron withdrawal by Cu(II), as confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Coordination and translocation of Cu(II) accordingly increases the antioxidant activity of luteolin at pH approaching the physiological level and is discovered as a novel class of natural molecular machinery derived from plant polyphenols, which seems to be of importance for protection against oxidative stress.

Abstract
Plant extracts from rosemary (RE), green tea (GTE), and maté (ME) were compared for the protection against iron-induced oxidation in porcine homogenates at total phenolic concentrations from 25 to 250 ppm. Lipid oxidation as indicated by TBARS was in all cases sufficiently suppressed, especially for RE. Hydrophobic RE retarded overall oxidation in the homogenates with an inverted dose-dependent response. Optimum delay of oxygen consumption was found at the lowest concentration applied, similar to protection against thiols and formation of protein radicals as measured by ESR, whereas the high concentration increased oxygen consumption and caused additionally thiol loss possibly due to thiol-quinone interactions, generating protein-phenol complexes. Hydrophilic ME or GTE increased the initial oxygen consumption rate as an indication of prooxidant activities at elevated concentrations. However, they were found to protect myoglobin and protein at those high concentrations with GTE being more efficient, possibly due to better chelation effect.

Abstract
Zinc(II) enhances radical scavenging of the flavonoid kaempferol (Kaem) most significantly for the 1:1 Zn(II)-Kaem complex in equilibrium with the 1:2 Zn(II)-Kaem complex both with high affinity at 3-hydroxyl and 4-carboxyl coordination. In methanol/chloroform (7/3, v/v), 1:1 Zn(II)-Kaem complex reduces β-carotene radical cation, β-Car•+, with a second-order rate constant, 1.88 × 108 L·mol-1·s-1, while both Kaem and 1:2 Zn(II)-Kaem complex are nonreactive, as determined by laser flash photolysis. In ethanol, 1:1 Zn(II)-Kaem complex reduces the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical, DPPH•, with a second-order rate constant, 2.48 × 104 L·mol-1·s-1, 16 times and 2 times as efficient as Kaem and 1:2 Zn(II)-Kaem complex, respectively, as determined by stopped-flow spectroscopy. Density functional theory calculation results indicate significantly increased acidity of Kaem as ligand in 1:1 Zn(II)-Kaem complex other than in 1:2 Zn(II)-Kaem complex. Kaem in 1:1 Zn(II)-Kaem complex loses two protons (one from 3-hydroxyl and one from phenolic hydroxyl) forming 1:1 Zn(II)-(Kaem-2H) during binding with Zn(II), while Kaem in 1:2 Zn(II)-Kaem complex loses one proton in each ligand forming Zn(II)-(Kaem-H)2, as confirmed by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. Zn(II)-(Kaem-2H) is a far stronger reductant than Kaem and Zn(II)-(Kaem-H)2 as determined by cyclic voltammetry. Significant rate increases for the 1:1 complex in both β-Car•+ scavenging by electron transfer and DPPH• scavenging by hydrogen atom transfer were ascribed to decreases of ionization potential and of bond dissociation energy of 4'-OH for deprotonated Zn(II)-(Kaem-2H), respectively. Increased phenol acidity of plant polyphenols by 1:1 coordination with Zn(II) may explain the unique function of Zn(II) as a biological antioxidant and may help to design nontoxic metal-based drugs derived from natural bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Addition of β-acids extracted from hop at different levels (0, 30mgkg-1, 60mgkg-1, 240mgkg-1) to the diet of broiler chickens demonstrated significant effects on the average concentration of polar metabolites and fatty acids of relevance for meat quality. The largest metabolic differences between control group and chicken fed different levels of β-acids were achieved using 30mgkg-1 of supplement. As determined by EPR spin-trapping, increased redox stability was also obtained for meat from chicken fed 30mgkg-1 of β-acids which also had highest level of endogenous antioxidants, especially anserine, carnosine, NADH and PUFAs. Diet and storage period were found to affect protein oxidation and myosin and actin were recognized as the main targets of protein oxidation. Myofibrillar proteins from chicken fed hop β-acids showed to be less susceptible to oxidation. A moderated level of hop β-acids as dietary supplement accordingly improve the overall redox stability, protecting myofibrillar proteins and fatty acids against oxidation and improve the nutritional properties of meat from broiler chickens.

Abstract
Dissolution of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) in aqueous citrate at varying pH has been studied with perspective of increasing availability of calcium from sidestreams of whey protein, lactose and/or cheese production or on development of new functional foods. ACP formed as an initial precipitate in 0.10 mol L-1 equimolar aqueous calcium chloride, sodium citrate, and sodium hydrogenphosphate was used as model for mineral residues formed during milk processing. Upon acidification of the ACP suspension by hydrochloric acid decreasing pH from 6.5 to 4.5, the transformations of ACP occurred through an 8 h period of supersaturation prior to a slow precipitation of calcium citrate tetrahydrate. This robust supersaturation, which may explain increased availability of calcium phosphates in presence of citrate, presented a degree of supersaturation of 7.1 and was characterized by precipitation rates for 0.10 mol L-1 equimolar aqueous calcium chloride, sodium hydrogencitrate, and sodium hydrogenphosphate with pH 5.5, and for 0.10 mol L-1 equimolar aqueous calcium chloride, sodium hydrogencitrate, and sodium dihydrogenphosphate with pH 4.1, with a degree of supersaturation of 2.7. The crystallization processes were similar according to Avrami's model with a half-life for precipitation of approximately 5 h independent of the degree of supersaturation. Ion speciation based on measurement of pH, and total concentrations of calcium, phosphate and citrate, and of conductivity and calcium ion activity during precipitation indicates a low driving force for precipitation with calcium citrate complex dominating at pH 5.5 and calcium hydrogencitrate complex dominating at pH 4.1. Calcium hydrogencitrate is suggested to be the species involved in the crystal growth followed by solid state transformation to calcium citrate tetrahydrate.

Abstract
We have attempted to evaluate, on the basis of optical microscopy for a single giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV), the potency of antioxidants in protecting GUV membranes from oxidative destruction. Photosensitized membrane budding of GUVs prepared from soybean phosphatidylcholine with chlorophyll a (Chl a) and β-carotene (β-Car) as photosensitizer and protector, respectively, were followed by microscopic imaging. A dimensionless entropy parameter, ΔE, as derived from the time-resolved microscopic images, was employed to describe the evolution of morphological variation of GUVs. As an indication of membrane instability, the budding process showed three successive temporal regimes as a common feature: a lag phase prior to the initiation of budding characterized by LP (in s), a budding phase when ΔE increased with a rate of kΔE (in s-1), and an ending phase with morphology stabilized at a constant ΔEend (dimensionless). We show that the phase-associated parameters can be objectively obtained by fitting the ΔE-t kinetics curves to a Boltzmann function and that all of the parameters are rather sensitive to β-Car concentration. As for the efficacy of these parameters in quantifying the protection potency of β-Car, kΔE is shown to be most sensitive for β-Car in a concentration regime of biological significance of <1 × 10-7 M, whereas LP and ΔEend are more sensitive for β-Car concentrations exceeding 1 × 10-7 M. Furthermore, based on the results of GUV imaging and fluorescence and Raman spectroscopies, we have revealed for different phases the mechanistic interplay among 1O2* diffusion, PC-OOH accumulation, Chl a and/or β-Car consumption, and the morphological variation. The developed assay should be valuable for characterizing the potency of antioxidants or prooxidants in the protection or destruction of the membrane integrity of GUVs.

Abstract
Background: Phenolic plant extracts are added as antioxidants in meat to prevent lipid oxidation, but depending on the concentration applied, may affect proteins either through covalent interactions or by serving as a prooxidant. Methods: Brine-injected pork chops prepared with green tea extract (25-160 ppm gallic acid equivalents (GAE)), or maté extract (25-160 ppm GAE) and stored (5 °C, 7 days) in high-oxygen atmosphere packaging (MAP: 80% O2 and 20% CO2) were analyzed for color changes, lipid oxidation by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and protein oxidation evaluated by thiol loss and protein radical formation by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, and compared to a control without antioxidant. Results: Extract of maté and green tea showed significant and comparable antioxidative effects against formation of TBARS in brine-injected pork chops for all concentrations applied compared to the control. Protein radical formation decreased significantly by addition of 25 ppm maté extract, but increased significantly by addition of 80-160 ppm green tea extract, when monitored as formation of protein radicals. Meanwhile, protein thiol groups disappeared when applying the extracts by reactions assigned to addition reactions of oxidized phenols from the extracts to protein thiols. Conclusion: Maté is accordingly a good source of antioxidants for protection of both lipids and proteins in brine-injected pork chops chill-stored in high-oxygen atmosphere, though the dose must be carefully selected.

Jongberg S, Tørngren MA, Skibsted LH. Protein Oxidation and Sensory Quality of Brine-Injected Pork Loins Added Ascorbate or Extracts of Green Tea or Maté during Chill-Storage in High-Oxygen Modified Atmosphere. MEDICINES 2018; 5:medicines5010007. [PMID: 29342928 PMCID: PMC5874572 DOI: 10.3390/medicines5010007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2017] [Revised: 12/28/2017] [Accepted: 01/10/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Background: Ascorbate is often applied to enhance stability and robustness of brine-injected pork chops sold for retail, but may affect protein oxidation, while plant extracts are potential substitutes. Methods: Brine-injected pork chops (weight-gain ~12%, NaCl ~0.9%) prepared with ascorbate (225 ppm), green tea extract (25 ppm gallic acid equivalents (GAE)), or maté extract (25 ppm GAE) stored (5 °C, seven days) in high-oxygen atmosphere packaging (MAP: 80% O2 and 20% CO2) were analyzed for color changes, sensory quality, and protein oxidation compared to a control without antioxidant. Results: No significant differences were observed for green tea and maté extracts as compared to ascorbate when evaluated based on lipid oxidation derived off-flavors, except for stale flavor, which maté significantly reduced. All treatments increased the level of the protein oxidation product, α-aminoadipic semialdehyde as compared to the control, and ascorbate was further found to increase thiol loss and protein cross-linking, with a concomitant decrease in the sensory perceived tenderness. Conclusions: Green tea and maté were found to equally protect against lipid oxidation derived off-flavors, and maté showed less prooxidative activity towards proteins as compared to ascorbate, resulting in more tender meat. Maté is a valuable substitute for ascorbate in brine-injected pork chops.

Abstract
Aqueous solubility of zinc phytate (Ksp = (2.6 ± 0.2) × 10-47 mol7/L7), essential for zinc bioavailability from plant foods, was found to decrease with increasing temperature corresponding to ΔHdis of -301 ± 22 kJ/mol and ΔSdis of -1901 ± 72 J/(mol K). Binding of zinc to phytate was found to be exothermic for the stronger binding site and endothermic for the weaker binding site. The solubility of the slightly soluble zinc citrate and insoluble zinc phytate was found to be considerably enhanced by the food components with oxygen donor, nitrogen donor, and sulfur donor ligands. The driving force for the enhanced solubility is mainly due to the complex formation between zinc and the investigated food components rather than ligand exchange and ternary complex formation as revealed by quantum mechanical calculations and isothermal titration calorimetry. Histidine and citrate are promising ligands for improving zinc absorption from phytate-rich foods.
