Abstract
The contribution of glutathione (GSH) and free amino acids degraded from GSH to the generation of pyrazines and 2,3-butanedione was illustrated during their interaction in the thermal treatment of the Amadori compound of alanine and xylose (ARP). GSH-degraded amino acids, glutamic acid (Glu), cysteine (Cys), and glycine (Gly), but not pyroglutamic acid (pGlu), could effectively capture α-dicarbonyls to facilitate the formation of pyrazines when ARP was heated with GSH. Deoxypentosones, the precursors of 2,3-butanedione, were largely consumed in the ARP-GSH model by the interaction with GSH and its degradative Cys compared with the ARP model. The addition of GSH and deoxypentosones inhibited the further degradation of deoxypentosones, resulting in less formation of 2,3-butanedione and other α-dicarbonyl compounds. Meanwhile, the reaction between GSH-degraded Cys and deoxypentosones to form sulfur-containing compounds such as thiols accelerated the consumption of deoxypentosones; thereby, the formation of 2,3-butanedione was severely interfered. However, this inhibition was compensated for by the GSH-degraded Gly through the addition between Gly and MGO and the subsequent deamination. The involvement of exogenous GSH could simultaneously boost the yields of 2,3-butanedione and pyrazines compared with those of ARP heated alone. As the degree of GSH degradation strengthened in the ARP-thermal-degraded GSH models, the yields of both pyrazines and 2,3-butanedione steadily increased.

Abstract
The intervention of cysteine (Cys) on the formation of 2,3-butanedione and pyrazines was evaluated during the thermal processing of the alanine-xylose Amadori compound (AX-ARP). With the involvement of Cys, the competitive formation of 2,3-butanedione and pyrazines was induced. The formation of 2,3-butanedione in the AX-ARP/Cys model was suppressed due to the inhibitory effect of the precursors of 2,3-butanedione like deoxypentosones, while the added Cys in the AX-ARP/Cys model competed with the recovered alanine (Ala) to capture glyoxal and methylglyoxal to make up for the absence of pyrazines in the AX-ARP model at an initial pH value of 7. The content of pyrazines increased from 0 up to 16.48 μg/L (120 °C, 120 min). Exogenous Cys itself showed lower reactivity with 2,3-butanedione through the Strecker degradation reaction; while the pH was increased to 8, the degradative products of Cys were facilitated to consume the residual 2,3-butanedione giving rise to the formation of 2,4,5-trimethylthiazole at 120 °C. It was the degradative products of Cys that accelerated the reaction for consumption of 2,3-butanedione rather than Cys itself. Additionally, the inhibitory effect of Cys on 2,3-butanedione formation was weakened under a basic condition, while the promotional effect on the formation of pyrazines was further boosted. With more Cys participating in the process of AX-ARP thermal degradation, the formation of 2,3-butanedione was further inhibited, while the yields of pyrazines were increased.

Abstract
Diacetyl (DA) is a highly reactive alpha diketone associated with flavoring-related lung disease. In rodents, acute DA vapor exposure can initiate an airway-centric, inflammatory response. However, this immune response has yet to be fully characterized in the context of flavoring-related lung disease progression. The following studies were designed to characterize the different T cell populations within the lung following repetitive DA vapor exposures. Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 200 parts-per-million DA vapor for 5 consecutive days × 6 h/day. Lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were analyzed for changes in histology by H&E and Trichrome stain, T cell markers by flow cytometry, total BALF cell counts and differentials, BALF IL17a and total protein immediately, 1 and 2 weeks post-exposure. Lung histology and BALF cell composition demonstrated mixed, granulocytic lung inflammation with bronchial lymphoid aggregates at all time points in DA-exposed lungs compared to air controls. While no significant change was seen in percent lung CD3+, CD4+, or CD8+ T cells, a significant increase in lung CD4+CD25+ T cells developed at 1 week that persisted at 2 weeks post-exposure. Further characterization of this CD4+CD25+ T cell population identified Foxp3+ T cells at 1 week that failed to persist at 2 weeks. Conversely, BALF IL-17a increased significantly at 2 weeks in DA-exposed rats compared to air controls. Lung CD4+CD25+ T cells and BALF IL17a correlated directly with BALF total protein and inversely with rat oxygen saturations. Repetitive DA vapor exposure at occupationally relevant concentrations induced mixed, granulocytic lung inflammation with increased CD4+CD25+ T cells in the rat lung.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Flowering of the Asian skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus renifolius, Araceae) shows a sequential expression of female, bisexual and male sex phases. The protogynous thermogenic inflorescence has unpleasant odours, but the contributing chemical composition is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To determine the volatile composition of odour emissions from each S. renifolius flowering phase. METHODOLOGY The dynamic headspace method was used to collect floral volatiles from six intact S. renifolius inflorescences in their natural habitat. Collected volatiles from the three flowering phases were analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfactometry (GC-MS/O). RESULTS Female-phase inflorescences were characterised by an earthy-rotten-minty odour, while male-phase inflorescences typically exhibited a rotten-oily odour. Approximately 160 compounds were detected in volatiles from the three phases. Common to all phases were 3-methylbutyl 3-methylbutanoate, 1,8-cineole, dimethyl disulphide and sabinene, together accounting for 52 to 54% of total volatiles. GC-MS/O revealed that at least 28 volatiles including eight S-containing compounds contributed to the unpleasant odour of S. renifolius. Among them, dimethyl disulphide (onion-like), methional (potato-like), and the tentatively identified methyl dithioformate (garlic-like) were intense odour-active compounds in each floral phase. Additionally, 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IPMP) was a major contributor to the earthy odour that was characteristic of the female phase. CONCLUSIONS No marked changes were observed in floral volatile compositions over the three flowering phases of S. renifolius. Instead, flower phase-dependent proportional changes of minor components (e.g. IPMP and 2,3-butanedione) altered the odour characteristics between the female and male phases.

Abstract
A big challenge for the civilization in energy saving/waste management can be "the regeneration of monomers from the waste plastics followed by their re-polymerization" using an ideal recycling method. Herein, we investigate the thermal depolymerization of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) using thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry (TGA-MS). In this process, the polymer chains were decomposed to methyl methacrylate (MMA) in high yield and the degradation species were thoroughly characterized. The obtained MMA contained traces of byproducts. Firstly, the byproducts were found to be nonpolymerizable, secondly, their presence interrupt the polymerization reaction, and thirdly, they reduce the quality of re-polymerized PMMA (r-PMMA). This study reclaims that besides the main byproduct (methyl isobutyrate), traces of methyl pyruvate and 2,3-butanedione were also formed during the thermal depolymerization of PMMA. The formed 2,3-butanedione was found to be responsible for the unpleasant smell in the recovered MMA that also found itself in the r-PMMA. Further, the generated byproducts were eliminated from the r-PMMA by a dissolution/re-precipitation method. The structural characterizations of the recycled and purified PMMA were carried out by Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Hydrogen-1 (1H)- and Carbon-13 (13C)-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The chemical properties of the r-PMMA and purified PMMA proved to be similar to that of the virgin commercial PMMA. This study can provide an effective and practical prototype for the recycling of waste PMMA scraps and thus reduction in pollution caused by the landfilling of waste PMMA scraps.

Abstract
Inhalation exposure to diacetyl (DA) is associated with obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) in workers and induces OB-like fibrotic airway lesions in rats. The pathogenesis of OB is poorly understood in part due to complex interactions between airway epithelial, mesenchymal and blood-derived inflammatory cells. DA-induced airway toxicity in the absence of recruited-inflammatory/immune cells was characterized using an air-liquid interface (ALI) model consisting of human airway epithelium with (Epi/FT) and without (Epi) a mesenchymal component. ALI cultures were exposed to 25 mM DA-derived vapors (using vapor cups) for 1 h on day 0, 2 and 4. In some experiments, the tissues were exposed to 2,3-hexanedione (Hex) which is structurally-similar, but much less fibrogenic than DA. Lactate dehydrogenase activity and day 6 histopathologic changes associated with epithelial injury, including basal/suprabasal spongiosis, were increased following exposure of Epi/FT tissues to DA but not control or Hex vapors. IL-1a, IL-6, IL-8, sIL-1Ra, TGFa, MCP-3 and TNFa proteins were increased following DA exposure of Epi/FT tissues; only IL-1a, IL-8, sIL-1Ra and TGFa were increased following exposure of Epi tissues. MMP-1, MMP-3 and TIMP-1 proteins were increased following DA exposure of Epi/FT tissues; whereas MMP-2, MMP-7 and TIMP-2 were decreased, and production was largely dependent upon the presence of sub-epithelial stromal matrix/fibroblasts. Hex-induced protein changes were minimal. This in vitro study demonstrated that exposure of human airways to DA vapors induced epithelial injury (with the histopathologic feature of basal/suprabasal spongiosis) and increased release of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic cytokines/chemokines as well as MMPs/TIMPs in the absence of recruited-inflammatory cells.

Abstract
Aroma extract dilution analysis of distillates prepared by solvent extraction and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation distillation from white Alba truffle (WAT; Tuber magnatum pico) and Burgundy truffle (BT; Tuber uncinatum) revealed 20 odor-active regions in the flavor dilution (FD) factor range of 16-4096 in WAT and 25 in BT. The identification experiments in combination with the FD factors showed clear differences in the overall set of key odorants of both fungi. While 3-(methylthio)propanal (potato-like) followed by 2- and 3-methylbutanal (malty), 2,3-butanedione (buttery), and bis(methylthio)methane (garlic-like) showed the highest FD factors in WAT, 2,3-butanedione, phenylacetic acid (honey-like), and vanillin (vanilla-like) had the highest FD factors in BT. Odor activity values (OAVs, ratio of concentration to odor thresholds), which were calculated on the basis of quantitative data obtained by stable isotope dilution assays, of >1000 for bis(methylthio)methane, 3-methylbutanal, and 3,4-dihydro-2-(H)pyrrol (1-pyrroline) revealed they are key contributors to the aroma of WAT. In BT, 1-pyrroline and 2,3-butanedione showed the highest OAVs of 1530 and 1130, respectively. Aroma recombination experiments successfully mimicked the overall aroma profiles of both fungi when all odorants showing OAVs of >1 were combined. Omission experiments confirmed the amine-like and sperm-like smell of 1-pyrroline, identified for the first time as a key odorant in both truffle species.

Abstract
Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is an increasingly important lung disease characterized by fibroproliferative airway lesions and decrements in lung function. Occupational exposure to the artificial food flavoring ingredient diacetyl, commonly used to impart a buttery flavor to microwave popcorn, has been associated with BO development. In the occupational setting, diacetyl vapor is first encountered by the airway epithelium. To better understand the effects of diacetyl vapor on the airway epithelium, we used an unbiased proteomic approach to characterize both the apical and basolateral secretomes of air-liquid interface cultures of primary human airway epithelial cells from four unique donors after exposure to an occupationally relevant concentration (∼1,100 ppm) of diacetyl vapor or phosphate-buffered saline as a control on alternating days. Basolateral and apical supernatants collected 48 h after the third exposure were analyzed using one-dimensional liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Paired t tests adjusted for multiple comparisons were used to assess differential expression between diacetyl and phosphate-buffered saline exposure. Of the significantly differentially expressed proteins identified, 61 were unique to the apical secretome, 81 were unique to the basolateral secretome, and 11 were present in both. Pathway enrichment analysis using publicly available databases revealed that proteins associated with matrix remodeling, including degradation, assembly, and new matrix organization, were overrepresented in the data sets. Similarly, protein modifiers of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling were significantly altered. The ordered changes in protein expression suggest that the airway epithelial response to diacetyl may contribute to BO pathogenesis.

Abstract
The undesirable flavor compounds diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione are vicinal diketones (VDKs) formed by extracellular oxidative decarboxylation of intermediate metabolites of the isoleucine, leucine and valine (ILV) biosynthetic pathway. These VDKs are taken up by Saccharomyces and enzymatically converted to acetoin and 3-hydroxy-2-pentanone, respectively. Purification of a highly enriched diacetyl reductase fraction from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in conjunction with mass spectrometry identified Old Yellow Enzyme (Oye) as an enzyme capable of catalyzing VDK reduction. Kinetic analysis of recombinant Oye1p, Oye2p and Oye3p isoforms confirmed that all three isoforms reduced diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione in an NADPH-dependent reaction. Transcriptomic analysis of S. cerevisiae (ale) and S. pastorianus (lager) yeast during industrial fermentations showed that the transcripts for OYE1, OYE2, arabinose dehydrogenase (ARA1), α-acetolactate synthase (ILV2) and α-acetohydroxyacid reductoisomerase (ILV5) were differentially regulated in a manner that correlated with changes in extracellular levels of VDKs. These studies provide insights into the mechanism for reducing VDKs and decreasing maturation times of beer which are of commercial importance.

Abstract
The butter flavorant diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) is implicated in causing obliterative bronchiolitis in microwave popcorn plant workers. Because diacetyl modifies arginine residues, an immunological basis for its toxicity is under investigation. Reaction products of diacetyl with N-α-acetylarginine (AcArg) were determined as a model for hapten formation, with characterization by mass spectrometry, NMR, and HPLC with UV detection and radiodetection. Four products were identified by LC-MS, each with a positive ion of m/z 303 (diacetyl + AcArg); one pair displayed an additional ion at m/z 217 (AcArg), the other pair at m/z 285 (- H(2)O). Their (1)H-(13)C NMR correlation spectra were consistent with the addition of one or two of the guanidine nitrogens to form aminols. Open-chain pairs interconverted at pH 2, as did the cyclized, but all four interconverted at neutral pH. This is the first structural characterization of the covalent adducts between diacetyl and an arginine moiety.
