[PMID: 38236464 PMCID: PMC10792181 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2023.101100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, the influence of pre-regulation of the water content (5-25 %) on the harmful substances and aroma compounds of sesame paste (SP) was investigated. The results indicated that pre-regulation of the water content reduced the generation of harmful substances in SP. Notably, the total heterocyclic amine content in SP-15 was significantly lower than in other samples. SP-10 had the lowest total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content, while SP-5 exhibited the lowest PAH4 content. Using solvent-assisted aroma evaporation and GC-O-MS, 50 aroma compounds were identified in SP. Pre-regulation of water content in SP led to an elevated concentration of heterocyclic compounds thereby imparting a diverse aromatic profile. It enhanced the perceived intensity of roasted sesame and salty pastry aromas while reducing the perceived intensity of fermentation and burnt aromas. The findings suggested the pre-regulation of the water content played a crucial role in aroma modulation and harmful substances control in SP.

[PMID: 38258954 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/31/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the influence of the moisture content of dehulled sesame seeds on the aroma formation and harmful substances in sesame paste (SP). The SP samples were made of dehulled sesame seeds with moisture contents of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% and denoted as T5, T10, T15, T20, and T25, respectively. The results revealed that adjusting the moisture content had a significant impact on aroma compounds, color intensity, and sensory properties. SP pre-adjusted to a moisture content of 10% exhibited the smallest L* value and the highest browning strength. Using gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry analysis, the researchers identified 38 aroma-active compounds in the SP, with pyrazines being the most abundant, contributing to roasted sesame and nutty aromas. Additionally, the presence of pyrrole and furan derivatives led to enhanced caramel and almond aromas, positively influencing the overall sensory properties. T10 demonstrated the highest levels of roasted sesame and nutty odors. Furthermore, the regulation of moisture content also affected the formation of harmful compounds, such as heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Notably, the sample made of the sesame seeds with 10% and 15% moisture content exhibited the lowest total PAHs content (18.21-28.91 ng/g) and PAH4 content (non-detectable-0.15 ng/g). The carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene was not detected in any of the samples, ensuring a safer product. The pre-adjustment of moisture content in SP appears to be a promising approach to improve both its flavor and safety qualities.

Abstract
Horseshoe crabs are among the most studied invertebrates due to their unique, innate immune system and biological processes. The metabolomics study was conducted on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated and non-stimulated hemocytes isolated from the Malaysian Tachypleus gigas and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda. LC-TOF-MS, multivariate analyses, principal component analysis (PCA), and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were included in this study to profile the metabolites. A total of 37 metabolites were identified to be differentially abundant and were selected based on VIP > 1. However, of the 37 putative metabolites, only 23 were found to be significant with ANOVA at p < 0.05. The metabolites were identified using several databases, and the literature review of the metabolites was reported in the manuscript. Thus, this study has provided further insights into the putative metabolites' presence in the hemocytes of horseshoe crabs that are stimulated and non-stimulated with LPS and their abundance in each species. Several putative metabolites showed they have medicinal values from previous studies.

Effects of volatile organic compounds of smoke from different woods on the heterocyclic amine formation and quality changes in pork patty. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113262.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of smoke derived from cypress (CY), mulberry (MU), metasequoia (ME), pine (PI), and camphor (CA) on the heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAs), flavor, and sensory attributes of smoked pork patty. The results showed that the smoke derived from the five kinds of wood and the flavor of the corresponding smoked meat were classified into three types. Moreover, the smoke of CY and PI, and the smoke of MU and ME can be classified into one category respectively, which significantly improved the flavor of the smoked meat. Both free and protein-bound HAs were detected in smoked meat, while the smoking process significantly increased the HAs content, especially free Norharman (3.26 ng/g in control meat, and 82.24 ng/g in meat smoked with CY). Correlation analysis showed that various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and HAs were closely associated. Future research should pay attention to the VOCs in smoked meat including vanillin, Close attention should be paid to tridecane and crotonic acid, as well as tetradecane and α-Dehydro-ar-himachalene in smoke, which were consistently correlated with various HAs and may participate in HAs formation. These results may reveal how the smoking process influences the formation of HAs and which factors should be targeted to inhibit HAs in smoked meat products.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and heterocyclic amines (HAs) are two kinds of important harmful products formed simultaneously during the thermal processing of proteinaceous food. In this paper, the effect of roasting conditions on the formation of AGEs and HAs, as well as active carbonyl intermediates in common peanut (C-peanut) and high-oleic acid peanut (HO-peanut) was studied simultaneously for the first time. In general, with the increase in roasting temperature (160-200 °C) and time, the contents of AGEs, HAs and active carbonyl intermediates (i.e., glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO)) significantly increased in peanuts. Four kinds of HAs (i.e., AαC, DMIP, Harman and Norharman) were observed in roasted peanuts, of which Harman and Norharman accounted for about 93.0% of the total HAs content after roasting for 30 min at 200 °C. Furthermore, a correlation analysis among AGEs (i.e., Nε-(1-Carboxymethyl)-L-lysine (CML) and Nε-(1-Carboxyethyl)-L-lysine (CEL)), HAs, GO and MGO was conducted. Most of these compounds showed an excellent positive linear relationship (p ≤ 0.001) with each other. The evident increase in GO and MGO contents implied an increase in not only the content of AGEs but also HAs. However, contents of AGEs and HAs showed no significant difference between roasted HO-peanut and C-peanut. This study would provide a theoretical basis for simultaneously controlling the levels of AGEs and HAs in thermal processed peanut foods.

Abstract
In this study, UPLC-MS/MS was used to study the effects of smoking duration and temperature on the formation of heterocyclic amines (HAs) in smoke-processed meat patties. Four kinds of free HAs—including F-7,8-DiMeIQx; F-MeAαC; F-Harman and F-Norharman—and six kinds of protein-bound HAs—including B-AαC; B-7,8-DiMeIQx; B-Glu-p-1; B-MeAαC; B-Harman and B-Norharman—were detected and quantified. Among the free HAs, we observed a 23-fold content increase (p < 0.05), from 0−4 h (at 0 h and 4 h they were 4.24 ng·g−1 and 98.33 ng·g−1, respectively), and the content of the free HAs decreased to 78.80 ng·g−1, at 5 h. At the same time, the free HAs content increased from 53.52 ng·g−1, at 50 °C, to 127.16 ng·g−1, at 60 °C, and then decreased continuously. The content of the free HAs was the highest at 60 °C. For the protein-bound HAs, their content was found to generally decrease with the increase in smoking duration and temperature. However, at 5 h, the content of protein-bound HAs slightly increased to 984.2 ng·g−1. Meanwhile, at 90 °C, it increased to 1643.53 ng·g−1. Additionally, a total of 16 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were found in all of the meat samples, of which 10 VOCs (one acid, three aldehydes and seven phenols) were significantly related to the formation of free HAs. These findings showed that all the different types of HAs were produced under low-temperature processing, which provided scientific insights into the potential generation of HAs during meat smoking processes and could be used as a reference to minimize the risks of cancer related to the consumption of smoked meat products.

Abstract
The physicochemical properties of five vegetable oils (peanut, corn, rapeseed, sunflower seed, and soybean) and their impact on the development of heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) in pan-fried bacon and in the remaining oil were investigated. Corn oil led to the lowest total free amino acids (FAAs) contents and glucose content of fried bacon (p < 0.05) and rapeseed oil led to the lowest creatine content of fried bacon (p < 0.05). Bacon fried in corn oil had the highest HAA contents (p < 0.05). The total HAA contents of the oils after frying were lowest in rapeseed and soybean oils (p < 0.05). The type of vegetable oil used affected the color of the fried bacon but not the flavor and taste (p < 0.05). To reduce the HAA concentrations of fried bacon, the type of vegetable oil should be considered.

Abstract
The monoamine oxidases (MAOs) are flavin-containing amine oxidoreductases responsible for metabolism of many biogenic amine molecules in the brain and peripheral tissues. Whereas serotonin is the preferred substrate of MAO-A, phenylethylamine is metabolized by MAO-B, and dopamine and tyramine are nearly ambivalent with respect to the two isozymes. β-Carboline alkaloids such as harmine, harman(e), and norharman(e) are MAO inhibitors present in many plant materials, including foodstuffs, medicinal plants, and intoxicants, notably in tobacco (Nicotiana spp.) and in Banisteriopsis caapi, a vine used in the Amazonian ayahuasca brew. The β-carbolines present in B. caapi may have effects on neurogenesis and intrinsic antidepressant properties, in addition to potentiating the bioavailability of the hallucinogen N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which is often present in admixture plants of ayahuasca such as Psychotria viridis. Tobacco also contains physiologically relevant concentrations of β-carbolines, which potentially contribute to its psychopharmacology. However, in both cases, the threshold of MAO inhibition sufficient to interact with biogenic amine neurotransmission remains to be established. An important class of antidepressant medications provoke a complete and irreversible inhibition of MAO-A/B, and such complete inhibition is almost unattainable with reversible and competitive inhibitors such as β-carbolines. However, the preclinical and clinical observations with synthetic MAO inhibitors present a background for obtaining a better understanding of the polypharmacologies of tobacco and ayahuasca. Furthermore, MAO inhibitors of diverse structures are present in a wide variety of medicinal plants, but their pharmacological relevance in many instances remains to be established.

Abstract
The β-carbolines in our diet, mainly including harman and norharman, are a group of biologically active, naturally occurring plant-derived alkaloids. Fragrant sesame seed oil is one of the most popular flavor edible oils in China. Considering that sesame seeds are roasted at 200-240 °C during the processing of flavor sesame seed oils, it is meaningful to investigate the levels of β-carboline compounds in various sesame seed oils. In this work, the levels of β-carbolines (harman and norharman) in different types of sesame seed oils in China (e.g., pressed fragrant sesame oil, ground fragrant sesame oil) have been determined systematically. The results showed that the levels of total β-carbolines in pressed fragrant sesame oils (700.5~2423.2 μg/kg) were higher than that in ground fragrant sesame oils (660.4~1171.7 μg/kg). Roasting sesame seeds at high temperatures (200-240 °C) led to higher levels of β-carbolines (660~2400 μg/kg) in fragrant sesame seed oils. In addition, the loss of tryptophan might be attributed to the formation of β-carbolines in sesame seeds during the roasting process. In general, fragrant sesame seed oils (pressed fragrant sesame oils, ground fragrant sesame oils) contain higher levels of β-carbolines due to the formation of harman and norharman during the roasting sesame seed process.
