Study of the oxidative degradation of farmed salmon lipids by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Influence of salting

Farmed salmon fillets were dry‐salted for 24 h. Both salted and unsalted samples were submitted to oxidative conditions at 50 °C in an oven with circulating air. Lipids of both samples were extracted daily from aliquots and studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The infrared spectra of salmon lipids are similar to those of vegetable edible oils, with differences in the frequency and absorbance of some bands due to their different acyl group compositions. The infrared spectra of salted and unsalted fish lipid samples remain unchanged during a period of time, which is shorter for the salted salmon. After this period, changes in the frequency and absorbance of some bands of the spectrum are observed owing to the presence of oxidation products. Therefore the reduction in the oxidative stability of farmed salmon lipids caused by the dry‐salting process is proved and the usefulness of this technique for studying the oxidative stability of fish lipid samples as well as their oxidation degree is shown.

Variability in the major lipid components of four market classes of dry edible beans

The lipid composition of dry edible beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L) was characterised and the variability between four US market classes (navy, dark red kidney, pinto and Black Turtle Soup) was determined. The total lipid content of the beans ranged from 1–8 to 2–6 g per 100 g dry weight. Triacylglycerol esterified sterified glucoside and phosphatidylcholine were identified as the major lipid class components of the neutral lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid fractions, respectively. The fatty acids were highly unsaturated: linolenic acid was the major fatty acid. Three sterols, campesterol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol, were identified. The lipid and fatty acid contents of the bean classes were significantly ( P <0–05) different. Principal component analysis of the total lipid components resulted in the extraction of four factors, which accounted for 93.3% of the variability of the data set. These factors were characterised as the (I) fatty acid. (II) sterol. (III) lipid class, and (IV) oleic acid factors.     

Mechanisms of weight maintenance under high- and low-protein, low-glycaemic index diets

Scope: Weight maintenance after intended weight loss is a challenge in an obesogenic environment. In a large multicentre dietary intervention study (DiOGenes), it has recently been demonstrated that a high‐protein/low‐glycaemic index (HP/LGI) diet was slightly more efficient in maintaining weight loss than low‐protein/LGI or high‐GI (LP/LGI or HGI) diets. Here, we use a proteomic approach to assess the molecular mechanisms behind this positive effect. Methods and results: A subset of the most successful (weight loser, n=12) and unsuccessful (weight re‐gainer, n=12) individuals consuming the LGI diets with either high‐ or low‐protein content (HP or LP/LGI), following an initial calorie deficit run‐in weight loss phase, were analyzed at the plasma protein level. Proteomic analysis revealed 18 proteins regulated after 6 months of the dietary weight maintenance phase. Furthermore, 12 proteins were significantly regulated as a function of success rate under an HP diet, arising as candidate biomarkers of mechanisms of successful weight maintenance under an HP/LGI diet. Pregnancy‐zone protein (PZP) and protein S (PROS1) were revealed as novel biomarkers of weight maintenance showing opposite effects. Conclusion: Semantic network analysis of the 12 regulated proteins revealed that under an HP/LGI an anti‐atherogenic effect and alterations of fat metabolism were associated with the success of maintaining the initial weight loss.     

全自动检测血清Non-HDL-C在妊娠期糖尿病中的临床应用探讨

目的:研究非高密度脂蛋白(Non-HDL-C)在妊娠期糖尿病(GDM)患者中的血清水平及临床应用价值。方法:回顾性分析我院就诊的2017年1月到2019年12月共922例妊娠期妇女的临床资料,其中GDM组495例,427例正常妊娠妇女作为对照组。分析两组间血脂指标水平差异,使用Logistic回归分析Non-HDL-C与GDM之间的相关性。结果:GDM组和正常对照组的Non-HDL-C血清水平分别4.15(3.49,4.89)mmol/L和3.60(3.11,4.23)mmol/L,GDM组血清Non-HDL-C浓度显著高于正常对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。Logistic回归分析显示Non-HDL-C是GDM的危险因素(P<0.01),并且Non-HDL-C的OR值为1.68(95%CI,1.45,1.93;P=0.00),高于TC、TG、LDL-C的OR值,分别为1.49(95%CI,1.31,1.70;P=0.00)、1.26(95%CI,1.13,1.40;P=0.00)和1.27(95%CI,1.10,1.48;P=0.001)。结论:Non-HDL-C相较传统血脂指标能够更全面更敏感的显示孕期的血脂代谢水平,可以作为临床监测妊娠期糖尿病中血脂代谢的有效指标。     

果蔬加工过程农药残留行为研究及加工因子在风险评估中的应用

食品安全问题一直是社会关注的焦点,而果蔬中农药残留是影响食品安全的重要因素之一。果蔬产品大部分需要经过加工处理,残留在果蔬中的农药在加工过程中受到不同程度的影响,如清洗、去皮等加工对于果 蔬表面的非内吸性农药有显著的去除效果,而热处理过程对某些农药存在蓄积作用,在某些情况下也会加快分解或形成有毒的代谢产物。随着加工工艺水平不断提升,新型的加工方式在果蔬加工过程中应用越来越广泛,对农药残留影响也越发复杂。因此,本文对果蔬加工过程中农药残留行为影响进行系统综述,并总结农药残留加工因子在膳食暴露评估中的应用,以期为农药残留进行精准膳食风险评估和农药合理使用提供依据。     

Modeling metal bioaccumulation in a deposit-feeding polychaete from labile sediment fractions and from pore water

Estuarine sediments are often highly enriched in particle-reactive metal contaminants and because aquatic animals have often been shown to acquire metals predominantly from their diet, benthic animals feeding on deposited or resuspended sediments may also accumulate metals through this uptake pathway. Laboratory experiments were performed in which the surface deposit-feeding polychaete, Nereis succinea, was exposed to As(+ 5), Cd, and Cr(+ 3) in pore water or in estuarine sediments with and without enrichment with algal debris. These experiments generated metal uptake parameters (assimilation efficiency of ingested metal [AE], uptake rate constant of dissolved metal, efflux rate constants following dietary or aqueous metal exposures) used in a kinetic model of metal bioaccumulation. The model showed that > 97% of the body burden of these metals is accumulated through ingested sediment. The kinetic model was further modified to consider the geochemical fractionation of the metals in the sediments because metals bound to some fractions were shown to be unavailable to these polychaetes. The modified model substituted the AE term for each metal by the percentage of metal extracted in neutral and weak acid exchangeable fractions (termed “carbonex” fraction) multiplied by the slope of the regression between the metal AE and its fractionation in carbonex. The modified model generated predictions of As, Cd, and Cr body burdens in polychaetes at three different estuarine sites that matched independent field observations at these sites (r² = 0.84 for sediments without organic enrichment, r² = 0.87 with organic enrichment). Model predictions that relied on total metal concentrations showed weaker relationships (r² = 0.11-0.50). This study adds to the evidence for the dominance of dietary uptake of metals in aquatic animals and identifies a key sedimentary fraction of metals that can account for bioavailability of sediment-bound metals.
