This work explores the ability of different yeast strains from different species of the genus Saccharomyces (S. cerevisiae, S. uvarum and S. kudriavzevii) and hybrids between these species to release or form varietal aroma compounds from fractions of grape odourless precursors. The de novo synthesis by the yeasts of some of the varietal aroma compounds was also evaluated. The study has shown that de novo synthesis affects some lipid derivatives, shikimic derivatives and terpenes in all species and hybrids, with some remarkable differences amongst them. The release or formation of aroma compounds from precursors was found to be strongly linked to the yeast or hybrid used, and the triple hybrid S. cerevisiae × S. bayanus × S. kudriavzevii in particular and secondarily the hybrid S. cerevisiae × S. bayanus were highly efficient in the production of most varietal aroma compounds, including γ-lactones, benzenoids, volatile phenols, vanillin derivatives and terpenols. The presence of precursors in the fermenting media caused a surprising levelling effect on the fermentative aroma composition. Altogether, these results suggest that it is possible to modulate wine aroma by employing different yeast species in order to create new wines with different aromatic notes. 相似文献

This work analyses the release of n-hexanal and d-limonene from edible films, previously encapsulated in the iota-carrageenan matrix (with and without lipid). Both volatile compounds have different physico-chemical properties. The effect of temperature (25 °C and 37 °C) and dissolution medium (water and 0.9% NaCl) on the release and retention of aroma compounds were studied. Hydrophobicity and wettability properties of active iota-carrageenan films were also studied and they were related with the internal and surface microstructure of films. Results highlight that d-limonene is encapsulated in the lipid phase of the films decreasing the release in the salt medium. d-limonene, the most hydrophobic, was more sensitive to the temperature changes than hexanal. Thus, this work gives an idea of the release of aroma compounds encapsulated in iota-carrageenan films in aqueous media. 相似文献

The importance of foodborne viruses is increasingly recognized. Thus, the effect of commonly used food preservation methods on the infectivity of viruses is questioned. In this context, we investigated the antiviral properties of d,l-lactic acid, sodium chloride and sodium nitrite by in vitro studies. Two model viruses, Feline Calicivirus (FCV) and Enteric Cytophatic Human Orphan (ECHO) virus, were chosen for this study simulating important foodborne viruses (human noroviruses (NoV) and human enteroviruses, resp.). The model viruses were exposed to different solutions of d,l-lactic acid (0.1-0.4% w/w, pH 6.0-3.2), of sodium chloride (2-20%, w/v) and of sodium nitrite (100, 150 and 200 ppm) at 4 and 20 °C for a maximum of 7 days. Different results were obtained for the two viruses. ECHO virus was highly stable against d,l-lactic acid and sodium chloride when tested under all conditions. On the contrary, FCV showed less stability but was not effectively inactivated when exposed to low acid and high salt conditions at refrigeration temperatures (4 °C). FCV titers decreased more markedly at 20 °C than 4 °C in all experiments. Sodium nitrite did not show any effect on the inactivation of both viruses. The results indicate that acidification, salting or curing maybe insufficient for effective inactivation of foodborne viruses such as NoV or human enteroviruses during food processing. Thus, application of higher temperature during fermentation and ripening processes maybe more effective toward the inactivation kinetics of less stable viruses. Nevertheless, more studies are needed to examine the antiviral properties of these preserving agents on virus survival and inactivation kinetics in the complex food matrix. 相似文献

Natural fermentative medium for selenium-enriched yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) culture was investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). The medium with a concentration of 15 μg/mL Na2SeO3, contained various ratios of juices from germinated brown rice (0.40 ∼ 0.80, 12 Brix), beerwort (0.10 ∼ 0.50, 12 Brix) and soybean sprout (0.10 ∼ 0.50, 12 Brix), which were optimized by applying d-optimal mixture design (DMD). The effects of their ratios on biomass yield and total selenium (Se) yield were analyzed. The results showed that when the mixed ratio of the components was 4:4:2 (v:v:v), the maximum value of biomass yield and total Se yield were 8.5 g/L and 3.53 mg/L, respectively. Verification experimental trials were performed for validating the models, and it indicated that the above mixture of these natural materials can be used as proper medium for the growth of selenium-enriched yeast and accumulation of Se. 相似文献

Biological investigations have revealed high scavenging capacity of Oenothera paradoxa defatted seed extract on reactive nitrogen species such as NO and ONOO−. The characteristics of the polyphenols present in the extracts were checked using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray negative ionization ion trap mass spectrometry. Extracts contained five groups of compound: phenolic acids (gallic acid, ethyl gallate, ellagic acid and ferulic acid pentoside), flavanols (catechin, catechin gallate) and oligomeric procyanidins, flavonols (quercetin-3-O-glucoside, quercetin-3-O-glucuronide, quercetin-3-O-pentoside and quercetin), and gallotannins (tetragalloyl glucose, pentagalloyl glucose and hexagalloyl glucose). Penta-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose were present in the extracts in concentrations from 9.44 to 16.75 mg/g, which demonstrated a significant NO and ONOO− scavenging activity with IC50 0.20 and 0.06 μM, respectively, may be considered as an O. paradoxa extract quality marker. 相似文献

In the contemporary society, diabetes mellitus is considered as a common, growing, serious, costly, and potentially preventable public health problem. It is forecasted that in 2030, the number of people with diabetes will go up from 117 million in 2000 to 366 million in 2030. The prevalence of diabetes will place a huge burden on health and financial structures of countries, and these will impact on individuals, as well as families and nations. Polysaccharides, para-aminobenzoic acid, fixed oils, sterol, proteins, and peptides are biologically active ingredients, which are found in pumpkins. The chemicals within pumpkins such as the fruit pulp, oil from ungerminated seeds, and protein from germinated seeds have hypoglycemic properties. Preliminary investigation showed that pumpkin seeds, and the macromolecules, therein, such as Trigonelline (TRG), Nicotinic acid (NA), and dchiro-inositol (DCI), possess hypoglycemic properties and could assist in maintaining glycemic control. 相似文献

Our goal was to evaluate emulsion stability, droplet size analysis and rheological behavior of the emulsions prepared by a native biopolymer namely Angum gum (An) compared with Arabic gum (Ar) stabilized emulsions. After gum extraction, gum dispersions with maltodextrin were prepared in water (in 1-5% concentrations) and emulsified with 5% and 10% d-limonene using high pressure homogenization. Statistical analysis revealed a significant influence of gum type and gum concentration on emulsion stability at α = 0.05. Flavor level was not important statistically in emulsion stability but it was the only factor with a significant influence (P < 0.05) on surface tension of the emulsions. The results showed that Angum gum was superior to Arabic gum in stabilizing emulsions during storage. Also, rheological data revealed that Angum gum-emulsions’ behavior was following the Herschel-Bulkley model with higher viscosities compared to Arabic gum emulsions, which could be the main reason of higher emulsion stabilities with this novel hydrocolloid. 相似文献

Previously we determined that abomasal infusion of l-carnitine increased in vitro hepatic fatty acid oxidation, decreased liver lipid accumulation, and supported higher fat-corrected milk yield in feed-restricted lactating cows. The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of supplemental l-carni-tine and amount of feed intake on free carnitine and carnitine ester concentrations in liver, muscle, milk, and plasma of lactating dairy cows. Eight lactating Holstein cows (132 ± 36 d in milk) were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design with 14-d periods to test factorial combinations of water or l-carnitine infusion (20 g/d; d 5 to 14) and ad libitum or restricted (50% of previous 5-d intake; d 10 to 14) dry matter intake. Plasma was obtained 3 times daily on d 4, 8, and 12; milk samples were collected on d 8, 9, 13, and 14. Liver and muscle were biopsied on d 14 of each period. Free carnitine, short-chain acylcarnitine, and long-chain acylcarnitine concentrations were determined using a radioenzymatic assay coupled with ion exchange chromatography. Abomasal l-carnitine infusion increased total carnitine in plasma on d 8 and d 12. All liver carnitine fractions were increased by carnitine infusion. Feed restriction elevated concentrations of free carnitine, long-chain acylcarnitine, and total carnitine in liver tissue from carnitine-infused cows but not in those infused with water. In muscle, acid-soluble carnitine, long-chain acylcarnitine, and total carnitine concentrations were increased by carnitine infusion and feed restriction without significant interaction. Feed restriction increased free carnitine concentrations in muscle from water-infused cows but not in carnitine-infused cows. Carnitine infusion increased the concentration of each milk carnitine fraction as well as milk carnitine output on d 8 to 9. On d 13 to 14, all carnitine fractions except short-chain acylcarnitine were increased in milk from water-infused, feed-restricted cows, whereas all fractions were increased in carnitine-infused, feed-restricted cows. Carnitine infusion increased total carnitine in plasma, liver, muscle, and milk during feed restriction, whereas feed restriction alone increased carnitine concentrations in muscle and milk but not in liver. Liver carnitine concentrations might limit hepatic fatty acid oxidation capacity in dairy cows during the periparturient period; therefore, supplemental l-carnitine might decrease liver lipid accumulation in periparturient cows. 相似文献

The oxidative stability at 37°C and 12% relative humidity of arachidonoyl moiety of 6-O-arachidonoyl l-ascorbate, which was synthesized through lipase-catalyzed condensation with l-ascorbic acid, was higher than that of unmodified arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid and arachidonoyl ascorbate were microencapsulated with maltodextrin, gum arabic or a soluble soybean polysaccharide by spray-drying. The oxidation of arachidonic acid under the conditions was retarded by its microencapsulation with gum arabic or the soluble soybean polysaccharide. The oxidation of arachidonoyl moiety of the ascorbate encapsulated with gum arabic or the soluble soybean polysaccharide more slowly proceeded than unmodified or encapsulated arachidonic acid. The fractions of the unoxidized arachidonoyl moiety on day 29 were greater than 0.7. Thus, esterification of arachidonic acid with ascorbic acid and subsequent microencapsulation with gum arabic or the soluble soybean polysaccharide significantly improved its oxidative stability. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate whether administration of l-Gln would affect mediators of acute phase response in postparturient dairy cows. Twenty-four multiparous Holstein cows were blocked by the expected day of calving and randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 treatment groups (n = 8/group): 1) i.v. infusion of 10 L of 0.85% NaCl (control), 2) i.v. infusion of 106, or 3) 212 g/d of l-Gln mixed with 10 L of 0.85% NaCl solution; each treatment was given 8 h/d for each of 7 consecutive days starting on d 1 after calving. Blood samples were collected 1 wk before the expected day of parturition as well as on d 0, 7, 14, and 21 after parturition; plasma concentrations of serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin, and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein were measured by ELISA, and α1-acid glycoprotein was assessed by radial immunodiffusion. Concentrations of SAA, haptoglobin, and α1-acid glycoprotein increased in control cows after parturition, reaching peak values on d 0 or 7 postpartum (60, 1,093, and 963 μg/mL, respectively). Cows infused with 106 g/d of l-Gln had greater concentrations of SAA in plasma on d 14 and 21 compared with controls (62.8 vs. 30.2 and 71.1 vs. 34.5 μg/mL, respectively). Cows infused with 212 g/d of l-Gln had greater concentrations of SAA on d 7 (82.5 vs. 53.9 μg/mL) and lower concentrations of haptoglobin on d 14 and 21 postpartum compared with controls (264 vs. 621 and 175 vs. 587 μg/mL, respectively). Cows treated with 106 and 212 g/d of l-Gln had greater plasma lipopolysaccharide-binding protein concentrations on d 7 compared with control group (50.0 and 35.6 vs. 10.8 μg/mL, respectively). There were no treatment differences with respect to milk yield and DM intake during the experimental period. In conclusion, our data indicate that i.v. administration of l-Gln modulated acute phase mediators in dairy cows after parturition and warrants further research into the mechanisms behind these effects. 相似文献

A cyclic voltammetry study of 1 mM l-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (l-5-MTHF) was performed in pH 5.5 Britton-Robinson buffer at room temperature to study the stability of l-5-MTHF alone and in combination with ascorbic acid (AA). The degradation of l-5-MTHF and AA over a period of 12 h both followed first order reaction kinetics. Using this technique, oxidation peaks of l-5-MTHF were identified at +0.17 and +1.18 V, and another oxidation peak appeared after 4 h under air at +0.89 V. Cyclic voltammetry and HPLC quantification enable us to confirm that l-5-MTHF can be highly preserved by the addition of an equimolar concentration of AA. This treatment was equivalent to a purge of nitrogen used to remove oxygen and thus minimise oxidation of l-5-MTHF when present in aqueous solutions. HPLC confirmed the fact that a full regeneration of oxidised l-5-MTHF occurred with the addition of sodium ascorbate, thus denoting that the redox character of l-5-MTHF can be controlled by the presence of reducing agents. Cyclic voltammetry proved to be a sensitive and accurate method for characterising l-5-MTHF oxidation and potential preservation with ascorbic acid. To our knowledge, this is the first study that has demonstrated the number of oxidation sites on l-5-MTHF. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary dl-malic acid (MA) supplementation on feed intake, methane (CH4) emissions, and performance of mid lactation Holstein-Friesian cows at pasture. Twenty-four (6 primiparous and 18 multiparous) mid- to late-lactation cows (206 ± 65 d in milk) grazing a mixed-species grass sward were blocked on parity, days in milk, and pretrial milk yield, and randomly allocated within block to 1 of 2 dietary treatments offered twice daily at milking in 2 equal portions (6 kg/d in total): a control concentrate (0 g/d of MA) and a concentrate supplemented with MA (480 g/d of MA) over a 6-wk period. Cows were allowed a 3-wk acclimation period followed by a 5-d CH4 measurement period. Enteric CH4 emissions were estimated using the sulfur hexafluoride tracer gas technique, and herbage intake was measured using the n-alkane technique. Dietary supplementation with MA did not affect voluntary intake of herbage or total dry matter intake, body weight gain, milk yield, fat-corrected milk yield, or daily CH4 production. These results suggest that there is little benefit to be gained from the dietary supplementation of dairy cows at pasture with MA at least within the inclusion rates used in this study. 相似文献

It is desirable to develop rapid commercial microwave and radio frequency sterilization processes to produce high quality shelf stable muscle foods, particularly aquatic foods. Whey protein gels containing d-ribose and salt were studied as a model food to determine heating patterns in salmon fillets during high temperature microwave sterilization processes. Dielectric constant (?′) and loss factor (?″) of whey protein gels with d-ribose (0.5 g/100 g, 1 g/100 g, and 1.5 g/100 g) at different salt contents (0, 0.1 g/100 g, 0.2 g/100 g, 0.3 g/100 g, 0.4 g/100 g, and 0.5 g/100 g) and frozen and thawed pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) fillets were determined over the frequency range of 27-1800 MHz at temperatures ranging from 20 to 120 °C. The dielectric properties of whey protein gels containing 1 g/100 g d-ribose and 0.2 g/100 g or 0.3 g/100 g salt closely matched the dielectric behavior of salmon fillets in both radio frequency (RF, 27 MHz) and microwave (MW, 915-1800 MHz) ranges. Altering the salt content had a greater impact on dielectric constant and loss factors at lower frequencies. These results suggest that whey protein gel may be a good model food for microwave sterilization process development, particularly for determining the locations of cold and hot spots in complex muscle foods. 相似文献

l-Carnitine is required for mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, but the effects of carnitine supplementation on nutrient metabolism during dry matter intake depression have not been determined in dairy cows. Studies in other species have revealed responses to l-carnitine that may be of specific benefit to dairy cows during the periparturient period. Eight lactating Holstein cows (132 ± 36 d in milk) were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square experiment with 14-d periods. Treatments were factorial combinations of abomasal infusion of either water or l-carnitine (20 g/d; d 5 to 14) and either ad libitum or restricted intake (50% of previous 5-d dry matter intake; d 10 to 14) of a balanced lactation diet. Liver and muscle biopsies were obtained on d 14 of each period. Feed restriction induced negative balances of energy and metabolizable protein. In feed-restricted cows, carnitine infusion increased 3.5% fat-corrected milk yield compared with those infused with water. Total carnitine concentration in liver was increased in feed-restricted cows infused with carnitine but not in feed-restricted cows infused with water. Carnitine infusion stimulated in vitro oxidation of [1-14C] palmitate to acid-soluble products and decreased the proportion of [1-14C] palmitate that was converted to esterified products by liver slices. Feed-restricted cows infused with carnitine had lower liver total lipid concentration and tended to have decreased triglyceride accumulation compared with feed-restricted cows infused with water. Plasma nonesterified fatty acid concentration was not altered by carnitine infusion but was increased by feed restriction; serum β-hydroxybutyric acid was increased by carnitine infusion in feed-restricted cows. In cows fed for ad libitum intake, carnitine infusion affected β-hydroxybutyric acid, insulin, and urea N in serum, liver glycogen concentration, and in vitro alanine oxidation by liver slices, suggesting that hepatic and peripheral nutrient metabolism was influenced. l-Carnitine infusion effectively decreased liver lipid accumulation during feed restriction as a result of greater capacity for hepatic fatty acid oxidation. Further research examining dietary supplementation of l-carnitine during the periparturient period is warranted. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of dietary l-carnitine supplementation on liver lipid accumulation, hepatic nutrient metabolism, and lactation in multiparous cows during the periparturient period. Cows were assigned to treatments at d −25 relative to expected calving date and remained on the experiment until 56 d in milk. Treatments were 4 amounts of supplemental dietary carnitine: control (0 g/d of l-carnitine; n = 14); low carnitine (LC, 6 g/d; n = 11); medium carnitine (MC, 50 g/d; n = 12); and high carnitine (HC, 100 g/d; n = 12). Carnitine was supplied by mixing a feed-grade carnitine supplement with 113.5 g of ground corn and 113.5 g of dried molasses, which was then fed twice daily as a topdress to achieve desired daily carnitine intakes. Carnitine supplementation began on d −14 relative to expected calving and continued until 21 d in milk. Liver and muscle carnitine concentrations were markedly increased by MC and HC treatments. Milk carnitine concentrations were elevated by all amounts of carnitine supplementation, but were greater for MC and HC than for LC during wk 2 of lactation. Dry matter intake and milk yield were decreased by the HC treatment. The MC and HC treatments increased milk fat concentration, although milk fat yield was unaffected. All carnitine treatments decreased liver total lipid and triacylglycerol accumulation on d 10 after calving. In addition, carnitine-supplemented cows had higher liver glycogen during early lactation. In general, carnitine supplementation increased in vitro palmitate β-oxidation by liver slices, with MC and HC treatments affecting in vitro palmitate metabolism more potently than did LC. In vitro conversion of Ala to glucose by liver slices was increased by carnitine supplementation independent of dose. The concentration of nonesterified fatty acids in serum was not affected by carnitine. As a result of greater hepatic fatty acid β-oxidation, plasma β-hydroxybutyric acid was higher for the MC and HC treatments. Serum insulin was greater for all carnitine treatments, although plasma glucose was unaffected. Plasma urea N was lower and plasma total protein was higher for the MC and HC treatments. By decreasing liver lipid accumulation and stimulating hepatic glucose output, carnitine supplementation might improve glucose status and diminish the risk of developing metabolic disorders during early lactation. 相似文献

Heat-induced gelation of myosin in a low ionic strength solution containing L-histidine 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Binding properties are important for meat products and are substantially derived from the heat-induced gelation of myosin. We have shown that myosin is solubilized in a low ionic strength solution containing l-histidine. To clarify its processing characteristics, we investigated properties and structures of heat-induced gels of myosin solubilized in a low ionic strength solution containing l-histidine. Myosin in a low ionic strength solution formed transparent gels at 40-50 °C, while myosin in a high ionic strength solution formed opaque gels at 60-70 °C. The gel of myosin in a low ionic strength solution with l-histidine showed a fine network consisting of thin strands and its viscosity was lower than that of myosin in a high ionic strength solution at 40-50 °C. The rheological properties of heat-induced gels of myosin at low ionic strength are different from those at high ionic strength. This difference might be caused by structural changes in the rod region of myosin in a low ionic strength solution containing l-histidine. 相似文献

We investigate the mechanisms involved in the long-term antihypertensive effect of a polyphenol-rich cocoa powder, named CocoanOX® (CCX), in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We have carried out two different batches of experiments. For the first batch of experiments, forty 3 week-old male SHR were randomly divided with ad libitum intake into four groups of 10 animals, that respectively received the following drinking fluids up to the 20th week of life (treatment period): tap water (control), CCX 100 mg/kg/day, CCX 200 mg/kg/day and CCX 400 mg/kg/day. Five 20 week-old rats of each group were sacrificed by decapitation. From the 20th to 24th week of life all the remaining animals were given tap water (follow-up period), and all of them were sacrificed at the end of the follow-up period. Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione in the liver, plasma and aorta angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity and plasma angiotensin II were determined in all the sacrificed SHR that were included in this batch of experiments. Plasma MDA decreased and liver reduced glutathione increased in the 20 week-old CCX treated SHR. These effects were not observed in the rats that were sacrificed after the follow-up period. CCX treatment did not modify aorta ACE activity, but the activity of ACE and the levels of angiotensin II increased in the plasma of the SHR treated with the highest dose of CCX. ACE activity returned to basal values in the SHR that were sacrificed after the follow-up period. However, angiotensin II levels were slightly higher after withdrawal of CCX.For the second batch of experiments we used aorta rings obtained from untreated SHR, and we evaluated the relaxation caused by CCX in different aorta preparations. CCX relaxed the intact aorta preparations but this cocoa did not relax the endothelium-denuded aorta rings from the untreated SHR. l-NAME, but not indomethacin, inhibited the relaxation caused by CCX in the SHR aorta rings. We postulate that the antihypertensive effect of CCX might be mediated by an improvement of endothelial release of nitric oxide and by a reduction of oxidative stress. The inhibition of ACE could be implicated in the antihypertensive effect of CCX. 相似文献

Polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leukocytes (PMNL) play a pivotal role during inflammation. Bone marrow (BM) reserves are depleted as cells are released into circulation for recruitment to infection sites. Expression of L-selectin on the cell membrane allows neutrophils to roll along the activated endothelium. Whereas mechanisms leading to recruitment to infection sites are well established, expression of BM adhesion molecules in cows is limited. In this study, we assessed L-selectin expression and chemotactic response to zymosan-activated serum (ZAS) in bovine BM cells and in circulating neutrophils. Isolated blood PMNL and BM cells were used from 9 dairy cows, for quantifying L-selectin expression using flow cytometry, and from 12 dairy cows for chemotaxis studies. All granulocytic maturation stages expressed L-selectin. The percentage of cells fluorescing increased significantly in BM band and mature granulocytes and reached maximal expression on circulating neutrophils. Bone marrow band and segmented cells showed the highest L-selectin density. Chemotaxis through micropore filters in response to zymosan-activated fetal bovine serum was first observed in the myelocytic and metamyelocytic stages, and it increased with maturation and release into the blood stream. From these results, we conclude that L-selectin expression varies among stages of granulocytic maturation within the BM and differs from circulating PMNL. Further, BM cells are capable of migration starting at the metamyelocytic stage, and compared with BM cells, circulating neutrophils are more chemotactively active. 相似文献

The presence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in grape berries and fresh musts is usually very low. However, as fermentation progresses, the population levels of this species considerably increase. In this study, we use the concept of fitness advantage to measure how increasing ethanol concentrations (0-25%) and temperature values (4-46 °C) in wine fermentations affects competition between S. cerevisiae and several non-Saccharomyces yeasts (Hanseniaspora uvarum, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Candida zemplinina, Pichia fermentans and Kluyveromyces marxianus). We used a mathematical approach to model the hypothetical time needed for S. cerevisiae to impose itself on a mixed population of the non-Saccharomyces species described above. This approach also took into consideration the influence of environmental factors and the initial population levels of S. cerevisiae (0.1, 1.0 and 10.0%). Our results suggest that Saccharomyces niche construction via ethanol production does not provide a clear ecological advantage (at least not until the ethanol concentration exceeds 9%), whereas a temperature rise (above 15 °C) does give S. cerevisiae a considerable advantage. The initial frequency of S. cerevisiae considerably influences the time it needs to impose itself (until it reaches a final frequency of 99% in the mixed culture), the lowest time values being found at the highest initial frequency. In light of these results, the application of low temperatures in the wine industry could favor the growth and survival of non-Saccharomyces species for a longer period of time. 相似文献

Five different varieties of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. ssp. botrytis); two white (cv. ‘Aviso’, ‘Dania’), one purple (cv. ‘Grafitti’), one green (cv. ‘Emeraude’) and one romanesco/green pyramidal (cv. ‘Celio’) cultivar have been studied. All samples were thermally processed and the effects on the levels of glucosinolates (GLS), total phenols (TP), total monomeric anthocyanins (TMA), l-ascorbic acid (l-AA) and antioxidant capacities (FRAP and ORAC) were investigated. Processing methods applied were: blanching (3 min), boiling (10 min) and steaming (10 min). Total GLS were significantly (p < 0.05) affected by processing with the highest losses, 55 and 42% on average, occurring for boiled and blanched samples, respectively. Significant effects were also noted for steaming, but to a lesser extent, i.e. 19% average reduction. Antioxidant-related parameters were similarly affected with average losses of 27, 33, 36 and 46% in boiled cauliflower and 16, 21, 22 and 28% in blanched for TP, FRAP, l-AA and ORAC, respectively. Blanching and boiling reduced TMA in purple cauliflower by 38 and 53%, respectively. Steaming affected the antioxidant-related parameters the least for all cultivars. l-AA was significantly reduced by 14% in all cultivars by steaming. Some differences in behaviour between cultivars were noted, especially between white and coloured cultivars for TP, FRAP and l-AA, but also for some GLS. The main losses were caused by leaching into the processing water. 相似文献
