Food Chem 2024; 461:140823. [PMID: 39153374 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
Salicylic acid is a commonly used anti-spoilage agent to prevent browning and quality degradation during potato processing, yet its precise mechanism remains unclear. This study elucidates the role of StuPPO2, a functional protein in Favorita potato shreds, in relation to the anti-browning and starch degradation effects of 52 SA analogues. By employing molecular docking and Gaussian computing, SA localizes within the hydrophobic cavity of StuPPO2, facilitated by hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. The inhibitory effect depends on the distribution pattern of the maximal electrostatic surface potential, requiring hydroxyl ion potentials of >56 kcal/mol and carboxyl ion potentials of >42 kcal/mol, respectively. Multiomics analysis, corroborated by validation tests, indicates that SA synthetically suppresses activities linked to defense response, root regeneration, starch degradation, glycoalkaloids metabolism, and potato shred discoloration, thereby preserving quality. Furthermore, SA enhances antimicrobial and insect-repellent aromas, thereby countering biotic threats in potato shreds. These collective mechanisms underscore SA's anti-spoilage properties, offering theoretical foundations and potential new anti-browning agents for agricultural preservatives.

Abstract
Phenolic acids are promising inhibitors of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), but the effects of carboxyl group and pH on their inhibition effects are still unclear. In this study, methyl cinnamate, cinnamic acid and 4-carboxycinnamic acid were investigated by their inhibitory effects with pH varied from 6.8 to 5.0. Results showed that 4-carboxycinnamic acid had the strongest inhibitory effect on PPO, followed by cinnamic acid and methyl cinnamate. Acidic pH enhanced the inhibitory effects of cinnamic acid and its derivatives on PPO, and the enhancement degree, IC50 and Ki declining degree were followed as 4-carboxycinnamic acid > cinnamic acid > methyl cinnamate. Methyl cinnamate exhibited competitive inhibition on PPO, while cinnamic acid and 4-carboxycinnamic acid exhibited mixed-type inhibition. Inhibitors induced slight changes in the secondary and tertiary structures of PPO, which were enhanced by acidic pH. Molecular docking results showed that 4-carboxycinnamic acid exhibited the strongest binding ability, and the main interaction forces were around carboxyl groups, and acidic pH enhanced the binding effect through more interactions and lower binding energy. This study could provide new insights into industrial application of cinnamic acid and its derivatives for the control of enzymatic browning of fruits and vegetables.

Foods 2023; 12:3649. [PMID: 37835302 PMCID: PMC10572463 DOI: 10.3390/foods12193649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Shrimp has been known for its delicacy, but it undergoes rapid deterioration induced by biochemical and microbiological reactions. Melanosis is a major cause of discoloration associated with consumer rejection. All ethanolic extracts from different leaves including soursop, noni, and Jik leaves were dechlorophyllized via the "Green" sedimentation method before being used. The inhibitory activity against polyphenoloxidase (PPO) from Pacific white shrimp (Litopeneous vannamei) and the copper-chelating properties of varying extracts were compared. Soursop leaf extract (SLE) showed higher PPO inhibitory activity and copper-chelating ability than others (p < 0.05). Based on LC-MS, aempferol-3-O-rutinoside was identified as the most abundant compound, followed by catechin and neocholorigenic acid. The efficacy of SLE at different levels (0.25-1%) for inhibiting melanosis and preserving the quality of Pacific white shrimp was evaluated during refrigerated storage at 4 °C for 12 days in comparison with that of a 1.25% sodium metabisulfite (SMS)-treated sample. SLE at a level of 1% effectively retarded melanosis and bacterial growth, in which the total viable count did not exceed the microbial limit within 12 days. In addition, 1% SLE treatment impeded autolysis, reduced protein degradation and decomposition, and minimized lipid oxidation, as witnessed by the lower increases in pH, TVB-N, and TBARS values. Sensory evaluation indicated higher likeness scores and overall acceptability for SLE-1% and SMS-1.25% shrimps than those of the control and other samples. Therefore, SLE could be used as a natural alternative that effectively lowered the melanosis and quality loss of shrimp during refrigerated storage.

Substrate specificity of polyphenol oxidase and its selectivity towards polyphenols: Unlocking the browning mechanism of fresh lotus root (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.). Food Chem 2023; 424:136392.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) causes the browning of lotus roots (LR), negatively affecting their nutrition and shelf-life. This study aimed to explore the specific selectivity of PPO toward polyphenol substrates, thus unlocking the browning mechanism of fresh LR. Results showed that two highly homologous PPOs were identified in LR and exhibited the highest catalytic activity at 35 ℃ and pH 6.5. Furthermore, the substrate specificity study revealed (-)-epigallocatechin had the lowest Km among the polyphenols identified in LR, while (+)-catechin showed the highest Vmax. The molecular docking further clarified that (-)-epigallocatechin exhibited lower docking energy and formed more hydrogen bonds and Pi-Alkyl interactions with LR PPO than (+)-catechin, while (+)-catechin entered the active cavity of PPO more quickly due to its smaller structure, both of which enhance their affinity to PPO. Thus, (+)-catechin and (-)-epigallocatechin are the most specific substrates responsible for the browning mechanism of fresh LR.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is present in most higher plants, but also in animals and fungi. PPO in plants had been summarized several years ago. However, recent advances in studies of PPO in plants are lacking. This review concludes new researches on PPO distribution, structure, molecular weights, optimal temperature, pH, and substrates. And, the transformation of PPO from latent to active state was also discussed. This state shift is a vital reason for elevating PPO activity, but the activation mechanism in plants has not been elucidated. PPO has an important role in plant stress resistance and physiological metabolism. However, the enzymatic browning reaction induced by PPO is a major problem in the production, processing, and storage of fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, we summarized various new methods that had been invented to decrease enzymatic browning by inhibiting PPO activity. In addition, our manuscript included information on several important biological functions and the transcriptional regulation of PPO in plants. Furthermore, we also prospect some future research areas of PPO and hope they will be useful for future research in plants.

Abstract
It is still unclear how pH affects the inhibitory effects of phenolic acids and flavonoids on polyphenol oxidase (PPO). In this study, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and naringenin were selected to investigate their interactions with PPO from pH 6.8 to 5.0. Results showed that acidic pH could enhance the inhibitory effect of inhibitors and a greater enhancement effect was observed in 4-hydroxycinnamic acid. Fluorescence emission spectra indicated that 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and naringenin interacted with PPO and quenched its intrinsic fluorescence, which was also enhanced by acidic pH. Circular dichroism suggested that 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and naringenin could reversibly bind to PPO molecules and transform α-helix into β-sheet. Molecular docking results revealed that 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and naringenin interacted with PPO through hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction, and more interactions were observed near the carboxyl group. These results indicated that acidic pH could significantly enhance the inhibitory effect of phenolic acid on PPO.

Abstract
AbstractTo study the feasibility of evaluating the quality characteristics of banana based on the browning area. The texture characteristics, total soluble solids (TSS), ascorbic acid, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations, relative conductivity, polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activities in banana peels were detected during storage. A linear model was made by principal component analysis and multiple linear regression between the banana browning area and characteristic indices. The results showed that the changes in the physiological characteristics of bananas were significantly different during different storage periods. The main factors that affected the banana browning area were relative conductivity, PAL, TSS, and MDA, indicating that lipid peroxidation, respiration, and metabolism of phenylpropanoids had significant influence on the banana browning area during storage. Thus, it is feasible to predict banana quality based on changes in browning area, which could be a rapid and non-destructive detection of banana quality during storage.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of naringin on soybean and mung bean sprouts postharvest quality. It was found that naringin could maintain the appearance and quality of soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts during a 6-day storage period as well as delay the occurrence of browning in mung bean sprouts and soybean sprouts. The optimal application rate of naringin was 50–100 μg/mL, which could effectively inhibit the activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) in bean sprouts and increase the ascorbic acid content, where this inhibition response to the browning of mung bean sprouts and soybean sprouts was significantly reduced. Naringin treatment increased gallic acid and p-coumaric acid content in mung bean sprouts as well as the daidzin and rutin content in soybean sprouts, which was also reflected in the improvement of antioxidant activity. The binding of naringin with PPO and POD was analyzed with molecular docking, naringin, and PPO had a lower binding energy (−1.09 Kcal/mol). In conclusion, naringin application in postharvest preservation of mung bean sprouts and soybean sprouts can maintain favorable consumer quality.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Chilling injury is a prominent physiological disorder in longkong fruit pericarp when stored under 13 °C for a prolonged period. This study aimed to investigate the effects of individual salicylic acid (SA) and ultrasonication (US) treatments and of the combination salicylic acid and ultrasonication (SA-US) on alleviating the chilling injury symptoms in longkong fruit pericarp when in prolonged cold storage.
Materials and methods
SA (1 mmol/L) and US (40 kHz, 10 min at 90% amplitude, 350 W) were used as individual and combined (SA-US) treatments to control the chilling injury in longkong pericarp. The various quality measures were checked every 2 days in longkong for up to 18 days of cold storage (13 °C, 90% relative humidity).
Results
The results revealed that the control fruits treated with water exhibited severe chilling injury symptoms followed in rank order by US, SA, and SA-US cases. Treatments such as US and SA alone were more effective in controlling chilling injuries than control, while only minimal significant differences were noticed between them. On the other hand, the longkong pericarp treated with the SA-US combination had significantly increased antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase and catalase) activities and decreased levels of membrane lytic (phospholipase D and lipoxygenase) enzymes and browning-inducing enzymes (phenylalanine ammonia lyase and polyphenol oxidase). Consequently, in the longkong pericarp, the chilling injury index, electrolytic leakage, respiration rate, weight loss, firmness, malondialdehyde content, changes in unsaturated and saturated fatty acid contents, and reactive oxygen species were significantly controlled by this treatment.
Conclusions
The present study concludes that longkong fruit treatment with a combination of US and SA is an excellent alternative for controlling the chilling injury symptoms and extending the shelf-life.
