The Phenolics of Peanut Skins and Their Impact in Peanut THE PHENOLICS OF PEANUT SKINS AND THEIR IMPACT IN PEANUT BUTTER FORMULATIONS by YUANYUAN MA (Under the Direction of Ronald Bruce Pegg) ABSTRACT The overall aims of this work were to ascertain the primary phenolic constituents in peanut skins (PS), and to determine if their antioxidant content and capacities are conserved through industrial dry-blanching and roasting processes. The first and second studies undertaken revealed that ground PS incorporation into peanut butters effectively enhances the total phenolics and fiber contents of the product, and offers product-line diversification while still retaining the product’s standard of identity. This research will aid the peanut industry via (1) by-product/waste stream utilization; and (2) diversification of product lines by creating a value-added peanut butter with potential health beneficial properties. Adding ground PS to peanut butter at 1.25, 2.5, 3.75 and 5.0% (w/w) resulted in a concentration-dependent change in the Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage L* C* h values. Peanut butters formulated with medium- and dark-roasted PS showed an increase in hardness, and were generally more adhesive than those without PS or with dry-blanched PS added. A marked change in spreadability was found with greater than 2.5% PS fortification. Incorporation of dry-blanched PS, especially at levels below 3.75%, showed the fewest differences in terms of physical properties of the peanut butters relative to the control. Importantly, a concentration-dependent increase in the total phenolics content (TPC) was evident with PS fortification. Dry-blanched PS possessed a TPC of ~166 mg (+)-catechin equivalents/g extract and yielded peanut butters with a 32, 33 and 38% higher TPC than that for light-, medium- and dark-roasted skin incorporation on a same mass basis, respectively. Correspondingly, dry-blanched PS addition at 1.25, 2.5, 3.75 and 5.0% (w/w) resulted in an increase in the TPC by 86, 357, 533 and 714%, respectively, compared with peanut butters devoid of PS fortification; the total proanthocyanidins content (TPACs) rose by 633%, 1,933%, 3,500%, and 5,033%, respectively. Normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (NP-HPLC) detection confirmed that the increase in the phenolics content was attributed to the endogenous PACs from the PS, which were characterized as dimers to nonamers by ionization mass spectrometry (NP-HPLC/ESI-MS). FRAP values increased correspondingly by 62, 387, 747, and 829%, while H-ORACFL values rose by 53, 247, 382, and 415%, respectively. The dietary fiber (DF) content of dry-blanched PS was 55%, with 89 to 93% being insoluble fiber. The third and fourth studies undertaken involved liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MSn) characterization of free, as well as soluble-ester and glycoside-bound phenolic compounds from dry-blanched PS. A large variety of phenolic compounds, including phenolic acids (hydroxybenzoic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids, and their esters), stilbenes (trans-resveratrol and trans-piceatannol), flavan-3-ols (e.g., (–)-epicatechin, (+)-catechin, and their polymers {the proanthocyanidins, PACs}), other flavonoids (e.g., isoflavones, flavanols, and flavones) and biflavonoids (e.g., morelloflavone), were identified in dry-blanched PS by this study. PS provide an abundant and inexpensive source of natural antioxidants, especially p-coumaroyl species and PACs. All of these studies indicated that processing is altering the content of the phenolics in PS, but their antioxidant efficacy is retained in the product.

Year: 2014 Number of pages: 257 Flavonoid glycosides are natural plant secondary metabolites exhibiting many physicochemical and biological properties. Glycosylation usually improves flavonoid solubility but access to flavonoid glycosides is limited by their low production levels in plants. In this thesis work, the focus was placed on the development of new glucodiversification routes of natural flavonoids by taking advantage of protein engineering. Two biochemically and structurally characterized recombinant transglucosylases, the amylosucrase from Neisseria polysaccharea and the α-(1→2) branching sucrase, a truncated form of the dextransucrase from L. Mesenteroides NRRL B-1299, were selected to attempt glucosylation of different flavonoids, synthesize new α-glucoside derivatives with original patterns of glucosylation and hopefully improved their water-solubility.

  • Ethanolysis Products from Douglas Fir
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Mi p Fj}j,i., for the M S irLCheJni Name) (Degree) (Major) Date thesis is presented August 196rß Title: E a o s Products fr D u las Fir Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Majá Professors Douglas fir bark fines which contained 71+.8 percent of Klason lignin and 70.2 percent of one percent sodium hydroxide solubility and decayed Douglas fir wood which contained 53.9 percent of Klason lignin were subjected to ethanolysis. A slight modification of the Hibbert's ethanolysis procedure was used. The monomeric compounds present in the reaction products were then examined. Two fractions of ethyl ether soluble oil were obtained from both bark and wood samples, which were mixtures of monomeric compounds produced by the ethanolysis reaction. One, which was designated "PE" fraction, was obtained by an ether extraction of a tar -like water insoluble substance of the ethanolysis products, and the other one designated "LE" fraction was obtained by the ether extraction of a water solution of the water soluble ethanolysis product. Two dimensional paper partition chromatography of these ether soluble oils demonstrated the presence of 12 compounds in the bark "PE" fraction, four compounds in the bark "LE" fraction and nine compounds in the wood "LE" fraction. The wood "PE" fraction gave the same chromatogram as the wood "LE ". In the wood "LE ", the typical Hibbert's monomers, 1- ethoxy- l- guaiacyl- 2- propanone, 2- ethoxy -l- guaiacyl -l- propanone, guaiacyl- acetone, vanilloyl- acetyle, vanillin, and vanillic acid were identified. Ethyl ferulate was iso- lated from the bark "PE", which was the only C6 -C3, phenyl propane type compound obtained from the ethanolysis of the bark fines sample.

AO can seriously impair the psychosocial well-being of the affected individuals; however, no causal therapy has been established for it other than surgical treatment. Recent studies have revealed that human ATP-binding cassette transporter C11 (ABCC11) is an AO risk factor when it is expressed in the axillary apocrine glands—the sources of the offensive odors. Hence, identifying safe ways to inhibit ABCC11 may offer a breakthrough in treating AO. We herein screened for ABCC11-inhibitory activities in 34 natural products derived from plants cultivated for human consumption using an in vitro assay system to measure the ABCC11-mediated transport of radiolabeled dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S—an ABCC11 substrate).

Necas Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Epigallocatechin gallate is the major component of the polyphenolic fraction of green tea and is responsible for most of the therapeutic benefits of green tea consumption. A number of preclinical in vivo and in vitro experiments as well as clinical trials have shown a wide range of biological and pharmacological properties of polyphenolic compounds such as anti-oxidative, antimicrobial, anti-allergic, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, chemoprotective, neuroprotective and immunomodulatory effects. Epigallocatechin gallate controls high blood pressure, decreases blood cholesterol and body fat and decreases the risk of osteoporotic fractures. Further research should be performed to monitor the pharmacological and clinical effects of green tea and to more clearly elucidate its mechanisms of action and the potential for its use in medicine.

Received June 26, 2013; accepted February 6, 2014 We applied a taxonomic approach to select the Eugenia dysenterica (Myrtaceae) leaf extract, known in Brazil as “cagaita,” and evaluated its gastroprotective effect. The ability of the extract or carbenoxolone to protect the gastric mucosa from ethanol/HCl-induced lesions was evaluated in mice. The contributions of nitric oxide (NO), endogenous sulfhydryl (SH) groups and alterations in HCl production to the extract’s gastroprotective effect were investigated. We also determined the antioxidant activity of the extract and the possible contribution of tannins to the cytoprotective effect. The extract and carbenoxolone protected the gastric mucosa from ethanol/HCl-induced ulcers, and the former also decreased HCl production. The blockage of SH groups but not the inhibition of NO synthesis abolished the gastroprotective action of the extract. Tannins are present in the extract, which was analyzed by matrix assisted laser desorption/ioniza- tion (MALDI); the tannins identified by fragmentation pattern (MS/MS) were condensed type-B, coupled up to eleven flavan-3-ol units and were predominantly procyanidin and prodelphinidin units.

Received: 18 March 2014; in revised form: 11 May 2014 / Accepted: 21 May 2014 / Published: 12 June 2014 Abstract: Condensed tannins (CTs) form insoluble complexes with proteins and are able to protect them from degradation, which could lead to rumen bypass proteins. Depending on their degrees of polymerization (DP) and molecular weights, CT fractions vary in their capability to bind proteins.
