GENERAL CONCLUSIONS 65 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 67 1 CHAPTER 1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION LITERATURE REVIEW Egg yolk is a good source of choline, omega-3 fatty acids, and natural antioxidant for humans, as well as a high quality protein. Egg yolk contains 31.8-35.5% lipids, 15.7-16.6% proteins as illustrated in table 1, almost all vitamins (A, B, D, E, K) except for vitamin C, and multiple minerals [1, 2]. Yolk lipids are almost all associated with proteins among which phospholipids (PLs) comprise about 30% of total lipids [1]. Egg yolk PLs, also known as egg yolk lecithin (EYL), are mainly composed of phosphatidylcholine (lecithin, PC, 66-76%) and phosphatidylethanolamine (cephalin, PE, 15-24%) [3]. EYL has been extensively used in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics because it is a good emulsifier, and it is usually believed to be well-tolerated and non-toxic in the native form. Native yolk proteins mainly exist as lipoproteins that are separated into a plasma fraction (soluble materials upon centrifugation) and a granular fraction (precipitants upon centrifugation). Egg yolk protein (EYP) is almost denatured after total lipid extraction where ethanol and hexanes are applied [4]. It is critically important to determine and improve its functional properties in order to make the further processing more economically feasible for industry. This review will place emphasis on EYL and lipid-free EYP, which has been subjected to ethanol and hexanes extraction. Three aspects of EYL and EYP will be covered: 1) 2 emulsification properties of EYL; 2) oxidation stability of EYL; 3) controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of protein and its application on lipid-free EYP. Table 1 Composition of egg yolk [1, 2, 3] Water Protein Lipid Carbohydrate Ash 48-52% 15.7-16.6% 31.8-35.5% 0.2-1.0% 1.1% Plasma 78% TAG 66% Granular 22% PLs 28% Phosvitin 16% Cholesterol 3% Lipovitellins 70% LDL 12% LDL: low density lipoprotein; TAG: triacyglycerol; PLs: phospholipids Emulsification properties of phospholipids An emulsion comprises two immiscible liquids, with one of the liquids finely dispersed as small droplets in the other. The liquid making up the droplets in an emulsion is known as the dispersed phase, whereas the other liquid surrounding the dispersed phase is defined as the continuous phase. Oil and water are commonly used liquids in making emulsion. Emulsion can be conventionally categorized into two classes, e.g., oil in water (o/w) and water in oil (w/o) systems according to the relative spatial distribution of the oil and aqueous phase [5]. Most food-based emulsions are o/w formation where the oil is the dispersed phase and the water is the continuous phase, such as beverage, mayonnaises, and salad dressings. Margarine is an example of w/o emulsion. Because most oils in a food matrix contain medium- and long-chain fatty acids and are highly hydrophobic (water-hating), the surface tension is quite high if the two liquids are directly emulsified without any emulsifiers. Typically, separation into two distinct layers happens immediately after homogenization. Surface active materials, known as emulsifiers or 3 surfactants, such as fatty acids, PLs, protein, polysaccharides, are usually used as amphiphilic materials, and they could reduce surface tension, thereby kinetically stabilize emulsions for a relatively long shelf-life. As emulsifiers, PLs function by coating on oil droplets and reducing surface tension between immiscible phases. Similar to other emulsifiers, various interactions are involved in stabilizing PL-stabilized o/w emulsions, such as Van der Waals force, steric interaction, hydration interaction, electrostatic force, and hydrophobic interaction [5]. Emulsification properties of purified individual PL originating from both soybean and egg yolk have been investigated under various conditions [6, 7]. However, EYL contain several types of PL and the interaction among PL class composition should be taken into account when it is applied into food as a whole. As mentioned earlier, EYL is mainly composed of PC and PE, which are at 66~76% and 15~24%, respectively. Lysophospholipid (LPC, 3-6%), sphingomyelin (SM, 3-6%), and phosphatidylinositol (PI, 0.6%) are also found in EYL as minor components [8]. EYL have different PL class compositions from soy lecithin (SL) (Chapter 2, Table 1). SL contains less proportion of PC (33%) and PE (14.1%) but more PI (16.8%) and phosphatidic acid (PA, 6.4%). Among these phospholipids, PC and PE are zwitterions, whereas PI and PA are anions as illustrated below: Phosphatidylcholine (PC) 4 Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) Phosphatidylinositol (PI), sodium salt Phosphatidic acid (PA), sodium salt The electrostatic repulsion is usually the dominant force in the emulsion stabilized by charged PLs, such as PI and PA in SL. It was also reported that zwitterionic PLs stabilize emulsion mainly through hydration interaction due to the electronic characteristics of zero net charge, though electrostatic interaction was also observed [9, 10]. Hydration repulsion of PC and PE becomes predominant as the distance between the droplets gets closer [11, 12]. Van der Meeren [9] studied the emulsion stability with a mixture of the anionic PA in the zwitterionic PC and found that the emulsion stability was improved by partly replacing PC with PA when the amount of PC used was not high enough to form a stable emulsion. This study indicates that anionic PA and PI are good at stabilizing emulsions compared with zwitterionic PC and PE at lower concentrations. These emulsions stabilized mainly through electrostatic repulsion, such as PI and PA stabilized ones, are susceptible to change of ionic strength, pH, surface charge density, and 5 surface potential. For those stabilized through hydration interaction, such as PC and PE, they are usually sensitive to temperature change [5]. Lecithin oxidation in bulk systems and emulsions Lipid oxidation has long been recognized as a major cause of deterioration of fatty foods. Several mechanisms have been proposed and widely accepted to explain lipid oxidation by autoxidation, photooxidation, and enzyme-catalyzed oxidation. Lipid oxidation results in off- flavor (rancidity) and changes in texture and other sensory characteristics of fatty foods. It also affects physical properties, such as smoke point and viscosity. The oxidation products, hydroperoxides and their secondary decomposites, such as short-chain volatile compounds, ketodienes, and epoxy compounds, are potentially toxic compounds and may cause chronic disease, such as atherosclerosis when consumed [13]. Three steps involved in lipid oxidation are initiation, propagation, and termination. The abstraction of hydrogen atom from allylic or bisallylic position has been found to be the rate- determining step in the oxidation process [14]. Because the bond dissociation energy for monoallylic C-H is ~10 kcal/mol higher than that for bisallylic C-H, which is ~85 kcal/mol [14], oxidation rate is largely determined by the amount of di- and poly-unsaturated double bonds present in the lipid. Research has demonstrated that fatty acids with two conjugated double bonds oxidize 10 times faster than do mono-unsaturated fatty acids; a further increase in each activated

Abstract In this application note, we have developed a 15 minutes method for quantitative analysis of PE and PC on the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class Plus System with a PDA Detector. Benefits Quantification of PE and PC in rice and sunflower oil lecithin within 15 minutes run time on the ACQUITY UPLC H-Class Plus System with a PDA Detector. Introduction Phospholipids are major constituents of cell membrane and are found in all tissues and subcellular compartments as mixtures of various molecular species such as phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylinositol (PI), sphingomyelin (SM), and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) depending on the type of polar head groups and the degree of unsaturation of the acyl chains. Among these phospholipids, PC and PE represents a major constituent of cell membranes. The demand for lecithin with high PC and PE content from vegetable or cereal source is increasing these days, particularly in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and other applications due to their emulsifying properties and nonantigenic nature. The application of lecithins in pharmaceutical and cosmetics domain depends mainly on the PC and PE with its saturated or unsaturated fatty acid content. Figure 1. Classification of phospholipids. The present method of UltraPerformance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) with UV detection offers advantages of high speed, resolution and simplicity for the separation and detection of phospholipids including phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine from rice and sunflower oil lecithin.

However, their use is not widely standardized in the current clinical practice. This is the consequence of large variability in the performance of nebulisers, patient compliance and a deficiency of robust preclinical and clinical data. Nebulised antibiotherapy may play a significant role in future pulmonary drug delivery treatments as it offers the potential to achieve both a high local drug concentration and a lower systemic toxicity. In this review, the physicochemical parameters required for optimal deposition to the lung in addition to the main characteristics of currently available formulations and nebuliser types are discussed.

[ P] -Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin lattice relaxation times (T1) have been measured for lecithin-nonpolar solvent-water as a function of added water for three solvents, namely, benzene, carbon tetrachloride and cyclohexane. In benzene and carbon 31 tetrachloride systems, where spherical reverse micelles are formed, [ P]-NMR T1, values 31 increase linearly with added water. However, in cyclohexane, the trends in the [ P]-T1 values indicate very different micellisation processes. Even at the lowest concentration of added 31 water, the [ P]-T1 values in this solvent are substantially larger than the corresponding values in benzene and carbon tetrachloride, which is attributed to the intramolecular chlorine- phosphate interaction being the weakest in cyclohexane. At a higher water content of six 31 mols of water per mol of lecithin in cyclohexane solvent, the [ Ρ]-T1 values show a sharp decrease indicating a sudden change in the dynamics of the phosphate group, and this confirms the on set of 'reverse micelle-to-liquid crystalline' phase transition observed in this system by other spectroscopic and physical techniques.

IV. Pulmonary Lecithin Synthesis in the Human Fetus and Newborn and Etiology of the Respiratory Distress Syndrome Louis GLUCK1391, MARIE V. KULOVIGH, ARTHUR I. EIDELMAN, LEANDRO CORDERO, AND AIDA F. KHAZIN Department of Pediatrics, University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, La Jolla, California, USA Extract The surface-active complex lining alveoli in normal lung lowers surface tension on ex- piration, thus preventing alveolar collapse. Surface activity follows a developmental timetable. Infants with idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) almost ex- clusively are prematurely born, and their lungs lack adequate surface activity and are deficient in the principal surface-active component, lecithin. This deficiency implies that RDS is a "disease of development," with fetal and neonatal timetables for lecithin synthesis. The biosynthesis of lung lecithin in the living human infant was studied by examining phospholipids in lung effluent (pharyngeal aspirates, mucus), which have identical phospholipids to those in lung lavage (alveolar wash). The fatty acid esters of isolated lecithin and phosphatidyl dimethylethanolamine (PDME) were examined. The fi-carbon fatty acids are indicators of the primary pathways of synthesis of lecithin: (1) a preponderance of palmitic acid signifying cytidine diphosphate choline (CDP-choline) + D-a,{3-diglyceride -+lecithin (choline incorporation pathway) and (2) a preponder- ance of myristic acid signifying phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE) + 2 CH3 —»• PDME + CHZ —> lecithin (methylation pathway).
