Abstract
Mechanochemistry by milling has recently attracted considerable interest for its ability to drive solvent-free chemical transformations exclusively through mechanical energy and at ambient temperatures. Despite its popularity and expanding applications in different fields of chemistry, its impact on Food Science remains limited. This review aims to demonstrate the specific benefits that mechanochemistry can provide in performing controlled glycation, and in "activating" sugar and amino acid mixtures, thereby allowing for continued generation of colors and aromas even after termination of milling. The generated mechanical energy can be tuned under specific conditions either to form only the corresponding Schiff bases and Amadori compounds or to generate their degradation products, as a function of the frequency of the oscillations in combination with the reactivity of the selected substrates. Similarly, its ability to initiate the Strecker degradation and generate pyrazines and Strecker aldehydes was also demonstrated when proteogenic amino acids were milled with glyoxal.

Crit Rev Toxicol 2024; 54:485-617. [PMID: 39150724 DOI: 10.1080/10408444.2024.2362985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
The term "glycation compounds" comprises a wide range of structurally diverse compounds that are formed endogenously and in food via the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids. Glycation compounds produced endogenously are considered to contribute to a range of diseases. This has led to the hypothesis that glycation compounds present in food may also cause adverse effects and thus pose a nutritional risk to human health. In this work, the Senate Commission on Food Safety (SKLM) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) summarized data on formation, occurrence, exposure and toxicity of glycation compounds (Part A) and systematically assessed potential associations between dietary intake of defined glycation compounds and disease, including allergy, diabetes, cardiovascular and renal disease, gut/gastrotoxicity, brain/cognitive impairment and cancer (Part B). A systematic search in Pubmed (Medline), Scopus and Web of Science using a combination of keywords defining individual glycation compounds and relevant disease patterns linked to the subject area of food, nutrition and diet retrieved 253 original publications relevant to the research question. Of these, only 192 were found to comply with previously defined quality criteria and were thus considered suitable to assess potential health risks of dietary glycation compounds. For each adverse health effect considered in this assessment, however, only limited numbers of human, animal and in vitro studies were identified. While studies in humans were often limited due to small cohort size, short study duration, and confounders, experimental studies in animals that allow for controlled exposure to individual glycation compounds provided some evidence for impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, cardiovascular effects and renal injury in response to oral exposure to dicarbonyl compounds, albeit at dose levels by far exceeding estimated human exposures. The overall database was generally inconsistent or inconclusive. Based on this systematic review, the SKLM concludes that there is at present no convincing evidence for a causal association between dietary intake of glycation compounds and adverse health effects.

Abstract
Amadori compounds (ACs) are stable compounds produced in the early stage of the Maillard reaction (MR) with health benefits such as immunomodulatory, antithrombosis, and tumor-preventive effects. Jujube is a medicinal and edible fruit in China. It is rich in free amino acids and reducing sugar, but traditionally, little attention was paid to the formation of ACs when jujube was processed, neither the influence of ACs on health effects. In this paper, we aimed to increase ACs through controlling the MR during different heating processes of jujube powder with adjusted water content and find the most effective AC that contributed to the antioxidant effects of jujube powder. The optimal dry-heating conditions to produce ACs were as follows: The water activity was 0.294, the heating temperature was 90°C, and the time was 120 min. After processing, the ACs content of jujube powder was 18.55 ± 0.19 mg/g dry weight (DW), which was more than 100 times of those in the unheated jujube powder (0.153 ± 0.003 mg/g DW). Besides, the antioxidant activity of jujube powder after dry-heating process was higher than that of unheated one. As the most abundant AC in the dry-heated jujube powder (12.90 ± 0.75 mg/g DW), N-(1-deoxy-d-fructose-1-yl) proline (Fru-Pro) showed the highest antioxidant activity (62% of equivalent l-ascorbic acid) among 12 ACs in ferric reducing antioxidant power assay. This result provided a method to produce jujube product with high content of ACs and confirmed the positive contribution of Fru-Pro to the antioxidant activity of the jujube powder.

Abstract
The involvement of exogenous threonine during the degradation of l-threonine-d-xylose Amadori rearrangement product (Thr-ARP) was found to promote the formation of pyrazines. A model including Thr-ARP and 15N-labeled l-threonine was applied to reveal the role of free threonine in Thr-ARP conversion to pyrazines. Quantitative analyses of pyrazines in the model of Thr-ARP/15N-labeled threonine showed a precedence of the endogenous threonine (formed by the degradation of Thr-ARP) over the exogenous threonine in pyrazines formation, and the ratio of 15N to 14N content in pyrazines increased significantly over time. According to the observed occurrence of the Heyns rearrangement products (HRP) derived from 15N-threonine, as well as the sharp decrease of 15N-threonine content and a rapid increase of 14N endogenous threonine at the initial stage of heat treatment, it was proposed that aldimine condensation between exogenous threonine and Thr-ARP followed by the hydrolysis led to the endogenous threonine and the generation of HRP. Then, the HRP underwent dehydration followed by hydrolysis to form exogenous threonine and deoxyxyosones, and the dehydration and hydrolysis of deoxyxyosones to form organic acids was inhibited, but the retro-aldolization of deoxyxyosones was promoted, facilitating the generation of reactive α-dicarbonyl compounds. In this way, exogenous threonine accelerated the release of endogenous threonine and α-dicarbonyl compounds and the pH decline was slowed down, which was favorable for the formation of pyrazines.

Abstract
LIGAO (concentrated pear juice) has been used for more than 1000 years to treat respiratory complaints such as cough and expectoration in China, but the study of the mechanism of its antitussive effects and ability to moisten the lungs is limited. This study found that the content of Amadori compounds (ACs) and other nutrients changed during LIGAO processing. Furthermore, N-(1-deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)-aspartic acid (Fru-Asp), the most abundant and characteristic AC in LIGAO, was prepared and studied. The antitussive test revealed that Fru-Asp could significantly reduce the frequency of cough and prolong the cough latent period in mice. A high dose of Fru-Asp (250 mg kg-1) in mice provided better therapeutic activities than that of dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets (30 mg kg-1). In the Fru-Asp pretreated group, Fru-Asp significantly alleviated inflammation in LPS-induced acute lung injury mice. Fru-Asp can significantly decrease the levels of TNF-α and IL-β in mice by 11%. Additionally, Fru-Asp exhibited angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor activity (IC50 = 0.242 mM). The contribution and health benefits of Fru-Asp on cough relief were first reported in this study, which also substantiated it as a functional component of LIGAO. The results provided the basis for future research on the health effects of ACs and a method to improve the added value of LIGAO and other pear products.

Abstract
Amadori rearrangement products (ARPs) derived from the Maillard reaction between theanine and glucose (ARP 1), as well as pyroglutamic acid and glucose (ARP 2), were identified by liquid chromatograph tandem mass spectroscopy methods. The effects of initial reactant ratio, temperature, pH, and heating time on ARP generation were analyzed. The formation of both ARPs was most favored under 100 °C, while an alkaline environment slightly promoted the generation of ARP 1 and acidic conditions contributed more to ARP 2 formation. The decomposition of ARP 1 was suggested to be the predominant formation mechanism of ARP 2. Preparation, purification, and structure identification of ARP 1 were conducted, with its structure confirmed as 1-deoxy-1-l-theanino-d-fructose. The contents of ARP 1 in green, black, dark, white, yellow, and Oolong teas were quantitatively determined, of which black teas contained the highest levels of ARP 1, possibly due to the high glucose content and processing techniques.

Abstract
d-glucose and d-fructose present in blood, tissues, and organs of all mammals can react with amino groups, leading to glucated (Amadori) and fructated (Heyns) products, i.e., proteins glycated at lysine residues. While typically present at low concentration in humans, metabolic diseases including diabetes elevate sugar levels, favoring glycation and consecutive reactions leading to advanced glycation end products (AGEs) linked to diabetic complications and cardiovascular diseases. Analytical methods able to differentiate and to individually quantify Amadori- and Heyns-modified proteins in complex sample mixtures, e.g., serum, are still very limited. Here, we show that the reported and supposedly specific neutral losses displayed in tandem mass spectra of Heyns peptides cannot be used for a reliable differentiation as they were also observed for Amadori peptides. However, the combination of several neutral loss signals in fragment ion ratios at both precursor and fragment ion signals allowed the differentiation and relative quantitation of coeluting isomeric Amadori and Heyns peptides at different concentrations and peptide ratios. This was also true for digested human plasma. Thus, the presented strategy allows the quantitation of Amadori and Heyns peptides in complex samples, especially by spiking isotope-labeled peptides. This will allow searching for glucated and fructated biomarkers in clinical samples.

Abstract
N-(1-Deoxy-d-fructos-1-yl)-histidine (Fru-His), one of the Amadori compounds, widely presents in processed foods, and its potential functional activities have attracted extensive attention in recent years. In this work, the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity and mechanism of Fru-His were investigated. The IC50 value of Fru-His was 0.150 ± 0.019 mM, and there was no obvious degradation of Fru-His after digestion simulation, showing that Fru-His has good ACE inhibition and digestive stability. Fru-His was a competitive inhibitor according to the enzyme inhibition kinetic analysis. The interaction between ACE and Fru-His occurred spontaneously mainly through hydrogen bonding, and the process was accompanied by fluorescence quenching and the alteration of the secondary structure of ACE. The molecular docking data supported the above results. Fru-His was attached to ACE's S1 active pocket through hydrogen bonds and interacted with zinc ions in active sites. The present study demonstrates that food-derived Fru-His has the potential to relieve hypertension.

Solid-phase synthesis of D-fructose-derived Heyns peptides utilizing N α-Fmoc-Lysin[N ε-(2-deoxy-D-glucos-2-yl),N ε-Boc]-OH as building block. Amino Acids 2021; 53:881-891.

Abstract
Aldoses and ketoses can glycate proteins yielding isomeric Amadori and Heyns products, respectively. Evidently, d-fructose is more involved in glycoxidation than d-glucose favoring the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). While Amadori products and glucation have been studied extensively, the in vivo effects of fructation are largely unknown. The characterization of isomeric Amadori and Heyns peptides requires sufficient quantities of pure peptides. Thus, the glycated building block Nα-Fmoc-Lys[Nε-(2-deoxy-d-glucos-2-yl),Nε-Boc]-OH (Fmoc-Lys(Glc,Boc)-OH), which was synthesized in two steps starting from unprotected d-fructose and Fmoc-l-lysine hydrochloride, was site-specifically incorporated during solid-phase peptide synthesis. The building block allowed the synthesis of a peptide identified in tryptic digests of human serum albumin containing the reported glycation site at Lys233. The structure of the glycated amino acid derivatives and the peptide was confirmed by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Importantly, the unprotected sugar moiety showed neither notable epimerization nor undesired side reactions during peptide elongation, allowing the incorporation of epimerically pure glucosyllysine. Upon acidic treatment, the building block as well as the resin-bound peptide formed one major byproduct due to incomplete Boc-deprotection, which was well separated by reversed-phase chromatography. Expectedly, the tandem mass spectra of the fructated amino acid and peptide were dominated by signals indicating neutral losses of 18, 36, 54, 84 and 96 m/z-units generating pyrylium and furylium ions.

[PMID: 32167581 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.14979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2019] [Revised: 10/21/2019] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
In order to establish an efficient detection method to evaluate the formation of Amadori compounds (ACs) in food products and study the potential health effects, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (UPLC-MS/MS) method using caffeine as internal standard was developed to determine eight ACs. The detection limits ranged from 0.0179 to 0.0887 mg/L for the ACs. The accuracy of the method was tested through measuring recovery of the spiked samples that varied from 81.90 ± 2.98% to 108.74 ± 2.34%. This method was further applied to detect ACs in 10 food products. Results showed that dry fruits and vegetables were rich in ACs, the total content of ACs varied from 1.36 ± 0.26 to 3415.91 ± 147.96 mg/100 g. The total amount of ACs in tomato juice heated under vacuum condition showed significant increment (P < 0.05) in 25 min at 80 °C comparing with that under atmospheric pressure due to the rapid loss of water. Besides, the amino acid content shows positive correlation with the corresponding AC formation in Maillard reaction during food drying. After heated at fixed water activity (Aw) for 4 hr by sous-vide process, the ACs content in tomato powder increased significantly and the antioxidant activity improved as well. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Results of this study provided a valuable tool to evaluate the formation of ACs in complex dry food products, facilitated the quality control of food products. The knowledge obtained will offer useful information to food processors. The synthesized ACs would facilitate further study into the antioxidant activities and potential health effects of specified AC.

Abstract
Fructose and dicarbonyl compounds resulting from fructose in heated foods have been linked to pathophysiological pathways of several metabolic disorders. Up to now, very little has been known about the Maillard reaction of fructose in food. Heyns rearrangement compounds (HRCs), the first stable intermediates of the Maillard reaction between amino components and fructose, have not yet been quantitated as protein-bound products in food. Therefore, the HRCs glucosyllysine and mannosyllysine were synthesized and characterized by NMR. Protein-bound HRCs in cookies containing various sugars and in commercial bakery products were quantitated after enzymatic hydrolysis by RP-HPLC-ESI-MS/MS in the multiple reaction monitoring mode through application of the standard addition method. Protein-bound HRCs were quantitated for the first time in model cookies and in commercial bakery products containing honey, banana, and invert sugar syrup. Concentrations of HRCs from 19 to 287 mg/kg were found, which were similar to or exceeded the content of other frequently analyzed Maillard reaction products, such as N-ε-carboxymethyllysine (10-76 mg/kg), N-ε-carboxyethyllysine (2.5-53 mg/kg), and methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone 1 (10-218 mg/kg) in the analyzed cookies. These results show that substantial amounts of HRCs form during food processing. Analysis of protein-bound HRCs in cookies is therefore useful to evaluate the Maillard reaction of fructose.

Abstract
Black garlic is produced through thermal processing and is used as a healthy food throughout the world. Compared with fresh garlic, there are obvious changes in the color, taste, and biological functions of black garlic. To analyze and explain these changes, the contents of water-soluble sugars, fructan, and the key intermediate compounds (Heyns and Amadori) of the Maillard reaction in fresh raw garlic and black garlic were investigated, which were important to control and to evaluate the quality of black garlic. The results showed that the fructan contents in the black garlics were decreased by more than 84.6% compared with the fresh raw garlics, which translated into changes in the fructose and glucose contents. The water-soluble sugar content was drastically increased by values ranging from 187.79% to 790.96%. Therefore, the taste of the black garlic became very sweet. The sucrose content in black garlic was almost equivalent to fresh garlic. The Amadori and Heyns compounds were analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS in multiple reaction monitoring mode using the different characteristic fragment ions of Heyns and Amadori compounds. The total content of the 3 main Amadori and 3 Heyns compounds in black garlic ranged from 762.53 to 280.56 μg/g, which was 40 to 100-fold higher than the values in fresh raw garlic. This result was significant proof that the Maillard reaction in black garlic mainly utilized fructose and glucose, with some amino acids.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (Salmonella) is one of the most significant food-borne pathogens affecting both humans and agriculture. We have determined that Salmonella encodes an uptake and utilization pathway specific for a novel nutrient, fructose-asparagine (F-Asn), which is essential for Salmonella fitness in the inflamed intestine (modeled using germ-free, streptomycin-treated, ex-germ-free with human microbiota, and IL10-/- mice). The locus encoding F-Asn utilization, fra, provides an advantage only if Salmonella can initiate inflammation and use tetrathionate as a terminal electron acceptor for anaerobic respiration (the fra phenotype is lost in Salmonella SPI1- SPI2- or ttrA mutants, respectively). The severe fitness defect of a Salmonella fra mutant suggests that F-Asn is the primary nutrient utilized by Salmonella in the inflamed intestine and that this system provides a valuable target for novel therapies.
