Protein hydrolysates from animal processing by-products as a source of bioactive molecules with interest in animal feeding: A review

Industrial processing of livestock, poultry and fish produces a large amount of waste in a solid or liquid form that can either be destroyed or be used to make compost, biogas or other low-added value products. However, the by-products from animal processing industries have a potential for conversion into useful products of higher value, such as protein hydrolysates, with interesting applications in animal feed. Low amounts of animal protein hydrolysates included in aqua-feeds may enhance growth rate and feed conversion of farmed fish and crustacean. Animal protein hydrolysates may also be incorporated in diets to enhance the nonspecific immunity of fish. As well, these hydrolysates can be used as a good source of amino acids for newly weaned animals. Protein hydrolysates from animal by-products including antimicrobials, antioxidants, opioid-like and/or other interesting bioactive molecules have promising and interesting applications on companion and production animals. By-products from animal processing industries are therefore a promising source of bioactive peptides of considerable interest for animal care, always within the framework of the existing legislation. Possible drawbacks and future trends of the use of animal by-products and/or production of protein hydrolysates from those materials are also discussed.     

Full-Length cDNA Cloning,Molecular Characterization and Differential Expression Analysis of Lysophospholipase I from Ovis aries

Lysophospholipase I (LYPLA1) is an important protein with multiple functions. In this study, the full-length cDNA of the LYPLA1 gene from Ovis aries (OaLypla1) was cloned using primers and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technology. The full-length OaLypla1 was 2457 bp with a 5′-untranslated region (UTR) of 24 bp, a 3′-UTR of 1740 bp with a poly (A) tail, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 693 bp encoding a protein of 230 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular weight of 24,625.78 Da. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the OaLypla1 protein shared a high amino acid identity with LYPLA1 of Bos taurus. The recombinant OaLypla1 protein was expressed and purified, and its phospholipase activity was identified. Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against OaLypla1 that bound native OaLypla1 were generated. Real-time PCR analysis revealed that OaLypla1 was constitutively expressed in the liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and white blood cells of sheep, with the highest level in the kidney. Additionally, the mRNA levels of OaLypla1 in the buffy coats of sheep challenged with virulent or avirulent Brucella strains were down-regulated compared to untreated sheep. The results suggest that OaLypla1 may have an important physiological role in the host response to bacteria. The function of OaLypla1 in the host response to bacterial infection requires further study in the future.     

5种多酚类化合物提高紫甘蓝花色苷热稳定性及辅色机理初探

该研究选取儿茶素、没食子酸、香兰素、槲皮素、山奈酚五种多酚化合物作为辅色剂对紫甘蓝花色苷进行辅色,结果表明随着浓度增加,儿茶素和没食子酸的辅色作用不断加强,当浓度达到0.01 mol/L时,辅色作用增长缓慢;香兰素浓度达到0.004 mol/L时,辅色作用最强,浓度继续增加辅色作用反而减弱;槲皮素和山奈酚对紫甘蓝花色苷...     

啤酒大麦、麦芽中多酚类化合物HPLC指纹图谱分析技术研究

以10个进口和8个国产啤酒大麦品种及其相对应的麦芽为样本,采用高效液相色谱（HPLC）建立大麦和麦芽中14种多酚类物质的指纹图谱,并分别进行相似度分析、聚类分析（CA）和主成分分析（PCA）。结果表明,进口大麦样品的相似度（0.938～0.989）高于国产大麦样品（0.911～0.937）,而进口大麦麦芽的相似度（0.892～0.967）普遍低于国产大麦麦芽的相似度（0.956～0.981）;CA（判别距离＜5）结果和PCA结果一致,8个国产大麦和1个进口大麦样品B2聚为一类,8个国产麦芽和3个进口麦芽样品M2、M3、M4聚为一类,说明通过大麦、麦芽多酚类物质的HPLC指纹图谱技术能基本区分国产和进口大麦品质的差异。     

Monetary compensations in climate policy through the lens of a general equilibrium assessment: The case of oil-exporting countries

This paper investigates the compensations that major oil producers have claimed for since the Kyoto Protocol in order to alleviate the adverse impacts of climate policy on their economies. The amount of these adverse impacts is assessed through a general equilibrium model which endogenizes both the reduction of oil exportation revenues under international climate policy and the macroeconomic effect of carbon pricing on Middle-East's economy. We show that compensating the drop of exportation revenues does not offset GDP and welfare losses because of the time profile of the general equilibrium effects. When considering instead compensation based on GDP losses, the effectiveness of monetary transfers proves to be drastically limited by general equilibrium effects in opened economies. The main channels of this efficiency gap are investigated and its magnitude proves to be conditional upon strategic and policy choices of the Middle-East. This leads us to suggest that other means than direct monetary compensating transfers should be discussed to engage the Middle-East in climate policies.     

兜唇石斛发酵多肽Asp-Asp-Asp-Tyr和Asp-Tyr- Asp-Asp对LPS诱导RAW264.7细胞的抗炎作用

为了研究兜唇石斛发酵多肽Asp-Asp-Asp-Tyr（DDDY）、Asp-Tyr-Asp-Asp（DYDD）对LPS诱导的RAW264.7巨噬细胞抗炎活性。以合成的兜唇石斛发酵多肽为研究对象,采用噻唑蓝法筛选增殖活性最高的发酵多肽浓度,通过中性红吞噬实验和倒置显微镜观察发酵多肽对细胞的吞噬作用和分化形态变化,使用ELISA试剂盒测定细胞中NO及细胞因子IL-1β、IL-6、IL-10和肿瘤坏死因子TNF-α的分泌量。结果表明：12.5、25、50和100 μg/mL四组质量浓度的发酵多肽对细胞无毒性并有增殖作用;100 μg/mL的DDDY和DYDD和1 μg/mL的LPS处理可以激活细胞,增强细胞吞噬能力,相对吞噬率为2.05%、1.97%和2.19%;构建LPS诱导的RAW264.7细胞炎症模型,发现两种发酵多肽处理有效抑制细胞分化,使细胞恢复正常形态;抑制细胞NO分泌能力,100 μg/mL DDDY和DYDD处理组的NO分泌能力降低到LPS组的0.41倍和0.49倍;并且对抑炎细胞因子分泌能力的提高和促炎细胞因子的降低有显著效果,均表现出剂量反应关系。由此可知,DDDY和DYDD对LPS诱导的RAW264.7巨噬细胞炎症反应具有抗炎作用,为后面探究发酵多肽的炎症机制提供理论支持。     

焙炒和湿热预处理对5种植物油品质特性的影响

为有效提高油脂品质,以亚麻籽、油菜籽、花生、芝麻和葵花籽为原料,对其进行焙炒和湿热预处理并压榨制油,研究焙炒和湿热预处理对5种植物油感官品质、理化指标、主体组分、挥发性组分和微量营养组分的影响。结果表明：焙炒和湿热预处理对植物油的感官品质和理化指标均有影响,总体上可提高植物油的感官品质,但会使酸值和过氧化值有所增加;焙炒和湿热预处理对脂肪酸和甘三酯组成无显著影响(p>0.05);5种植物油中共检测出了82种挥发性风味成分,焙炒和湿热预处理后,菜籽油中硫苷降解产物明显增加,葵花籽油中杂环类化合物显著增加;焙炒和湿热预处理能有效提高植物油总酚含量,特别是湿热预处理芝麻油,其总酚含量是未处理的1.9倍;焙炒和湿热预处理葵花籽油的V_E含量较未处理的分别增加了12.7%和19.2%,但对其他植物油的V_E含量影响不显著(p>0.05)。综上,焙炒和湿热预处理在不影响油脂理化品质的基础上,提高了其营养品质和感官品质,是理想的油料预处理技术。     

Eating quality of raw carrots––correlations between flavour compounds,sensory profiling analysis and consumer liking test

Sensory profiling, analysis of aroma, sugar and dry matter, as well as consumer liking test were used to characterise the quality of six carrot cultivars, grown at two locations in Denmark. The carrot samples were examined at harvest, and after three months of cold storage. Carrot cultivar had an effect on most sensory and flavour compound variables, due particularly to the influence of one cultivar; and also location influenced carrot quality. Storage of carrots was characterised by an increase of a range of aroma components, but the changes in flavour compounds were not correspondingly observed by the sensory analysis. By Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) two thirds of the flavour compound variables was found to correlate significantly with one or more of the nine sensory attributes; and all of the sensory attributes were significantly correlated with one or more of the consumer liking test variables bitterness, sweetness and liking.
