The nitrite scavenging and electron donating ability of phenolic compounds

Abstract: Phenolic compounds are known to inhibit the nitrosation or oxidation reaction. In the present work, the effects of phenolic compounds including phenolic acids and flavonoids on the nitrite-scavenging and electron donating ability were tested as scavenger of nitrite which is believed to participate in the formation of N-nitroso compounds and investigated as electron donator. The nitrite scavenging ability appeared in all the phenolic acids and showed the highest value at PH 1.2. Among the Phenolic compounds, phenolic acids showed higher nitrite-scavenging action than some flavonoids. Futhermore, the nitrite scavenging action of phenolic compounds was pH dependent highest at pH 1.2 and lowest at pH 6.0. The electron donating ability (EDA) by reduction of -diphenyl--picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) among hydroxybenzoic acids was in the decreasing order of gallic acid, gentisic acid, syringic acid, protocatechuic acid, salicylic acid, vanillic acid, benzoic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid. EDA of hydroxycinnamic acids was in the decreasing order of hydrocaffeic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid and trans-cinnamic acid. EDA of flavonoids was in the decreasing order of (+)catechin, rutin, quercetin, naringin and hesperidin. Other phenolic compounds were significantly high in electron donating abilities.

Effect of temperature and salt concentration on Kimchi fermentation

Abstract: Chemical and microbial changes during Kimchi (a group of Korean seasoned pickles) fermentation were carried out at various temperatures and salt concentrations. The time reaching optimum ripening of Kimchi varied depending upon fermentation temperature and salt concentration. At high temperature and low salt content Kimchi fermentation was faster than at low temperature and high salt content. The ratio of volatile to non-volatile acids reached its maximum at the optimum ripening time of Kimchi and decreased thereafter. Leu. mesenteroids, Lac. brevis, Lac. plantarum, Ped. cerevisiae, Str. faecalis and low acid producing Lactobacilli were isolated from Kimchi samples. However, the main microorganism responsible for Kimchi fermentation was Leu. mesenteroides and Lac. plantarum was the main acidifying organism. Total viable count increased rapidly in the beginning of fermentation and reached its maximum number at optimum ripening time and then decreased slowly as the acidity of Kimchi increased. While the total aerobic bacteria and fungi decreased during Kimchi fermentation, the yeast increased significantly at lower temperature.

효모종류를 달리한 탁주 술덧의 휘발성 향기성분

Abstract: In this study, we examined the volatile flavor components in the mashes of takju prepared using different yeasts such as Saccharomyces coreanus, S. ellipsoideus, S. carlsbergensis, S. cerevisiae (Baker’s yeast), and S. rouxii by GC and GC-MS. Fourteen alcohols, 13 esters, 5 acids, 3 aldehydes, 7 amines, and 2 other compounds were identified in the mash after 6 days of fermentation. On day 6, the takju fermented by S. coreanus had the greatest variety of volatile flavor components. Fifteen flavor components, including ethanol, isobutyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, methyl pentanol, 1,3- butanediol, 3-methylthio-1-propanol, benzeneethanol, ethyl lactate, acetic acid, acetaldehyde, and 1,3-cyclohexane diamine, were typically detected in all the treatments. The relative peak areas of the volatile components were as follows: alcohols (96.758-99.387%), esters (0.081-0.968%), acids (0.040-0.640%), aldehydes (0.266-0.959%), and amines (0.011-0.047%). In particular, 1-propanol, isobutyl alcohol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2,3-butanediol, trimethyl benzylalcohol, heptene-2,4-diol, ethyl lactate, diethyl succinate, ethyl nonanoate, methyl hexadecanoate, linoleic acid, hexadecanoic acid, and acetaldehyde were high in the takju made by S. coreanus. Also, ethyl stearate was high in the takju made by S. carlsbergensis, and hexanoic acid was high in the takju made by S. cerevisiae. Finally, methyl pentanol, 1,3-butanediol, 3-methylthio-1-propanol, benzene ethanol, ethyl octadecanoate, acetic acid, pentanal, and 1,3-cyclohexane diamine were high in the takju made by S. rouxii.
