Abstract
Melanoidins contribute to the sensory and functional properties of dark beers. The structure, stability, and antioxidant activity of acetone precipitation extracted melanoidins (APE-M) and macroporous resin adsorption extracted melanoidins (MAE-M) from dark beer were investigated. The structural properties of melanoidins were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), circular dichroism (CD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the solution storage stability, thermal behavior and antioxidant activity of melanoidins in dark beers were evaluated. MAE-M revealed more sophisticated structures than APE-M, including more concrete characteristics of Maillard reaction (MR) products in FTIR (1550-1500 cm-1), more ordered secondary structure in CD spectra, and thinner slices as well as more microspheres in SEM. The solution storage stability assay showed that certain factors, including 55 °C, 5 % v/v ethanol, UV light, and H2O2 solution, accelerated the degradation of melanoidins. The moderate extraction process of MAE-M performed a minor enthalpy change (-92.28 Jg-1) in the DSC-TG test than that of APE-M (-319.41 Jg-1). Furthermore, the ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities and the FRAP assay demonstrated that the antioxidant activity of MAE-M was almost twice that of APE-M. In general, MAE was more effective in extracting beer melanoidins while maintaining its accurate structure and profitable antioxidant activity than APE.
