DIRECT ANALYSIS OF HOPS BY LEAF SPRAY AND PAPER SPRAY MASS SPECTROMETRY Kari Blain, M.S. Western Michigan University, 2012 The objective of this research is to develop a new and innovative method of hops analysis, which is much faster than standard testing methods, as well as reduce the amount of consumables and solvent used. A detailed discussion on the development of an ambient ionization mass spectrometry method called paper spray (PS-MS) and leaf spray (LS-MS) mass spectrometry will be presented. This research investigates the use of PS-MS and LS-MS techniques to determine the α- and β- acids present in hops. PS-MS and LS-MS provide a fast way to analyze hops samples by delivering data as rapidly as a UV-Vis measurement while providing information similar to lengthy liquid chromatographic separations. The preliminary results shown here indicate that PS-MS could be used to determine cohumulone and α/β ratios.

Campus de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain. * Corresponding author: [email protected] +34910017921 ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 1 ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ABSTRACT Hop (Humulus lupulus) is one of the richest natural sources of a prenylfalvonoids such as xanthohumol (XN), desmetylxanthohumol (DMX), isoxanthohumol (IX) or 8- prenylnaringenin (8-PN), being XN the most abundant of them in the raw material. So far, obtention of prenylflavonoids have been done by chemical synthesis or extraction with organic solvents, with no described methods for the isolation of IX, which has been reported to have anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) it is shown not only as effective method to extract some prenylflavonoids but to selectively change the relative amount of them, favoring the extraction of IX against XN. Thus, pressurized water extraction at 150ºC showed a high selectivity towards IX, being proposed as a method to enrich natural hop´s extracts in IX. On the other hand, the extracts thus obtained were chemically characterized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity, which was higher than the expected by its content in IX.

  • By Intestinal Microbiota; Conversion of Isoxanthohumol Into 8-Prenylnaringenin

Although a number of health effects are attributed to these compounds, only a few reports are available about the bioavailability of prenylflavonoids and the transformation potency of the intestinal microbial community. To test these transformations, four fecal samples were incubated with xanthohumol, isoxanthohumol (IX), and 8-PN. Upon incubation with IX, present in strong ales up to 4 mg/L, 36% was converted into 8-PN in one fecal sample and the estrogenic properties of the sample drastically increased. In an experiment with 12 fecal cultures, this conversion was observed in one-third of the samples, indicating the importance of interindividual variability in the intestinal microbial community. Eubacterium limosum was identified to be capable of this conversion (O-demethylation) of IX into 8-PN, and after strain selection, a conversion efficiency of 90% was achieved. Finally, strain supplementation to a nonconverting fecal sample led to rapid and high 8-PN production at only 1% (v/v) addition.

In this study, we investigated the current situation in this respect of 25 different food supplements and beer brands. Eleven different food supplements and twenty-four 26 beer brands were obtained from Helsinki, Finland. Sample preparation was carried out by 27 established methods while oestrogenic activities were assessed by a yeast bioluminiscent assay, 28 using two recombinant yeast strains (Saccharomyces cerevisiae BMAEREluc/ERα and S. 29 cerevisiae BMA64/luc). All the food supplements as well as 81% of the beer samples tested were 30 found to be oestrogenic, with oestradiol equivalent concentrations of food supplements and beer 31 brands ranging from 7.5 to 11.5 µg/ml and from below detection limits to 43.6 ng/ml, respectively. 32 The oestrogenic activities detected in beer samples were not dependent on the beer’s alcoholic 33 content, country of production, or the size of the production brewery.

Although a number of health effects are attributed to 8PN, few reports are available about the production of it. In this work, screening of fungi to efficiently transform isoxanthohumol (IXN) into 8PN was designed. The biotransformation of IXN was significantly observed in Eupenicillium javanicum, Cunninghamella blakesleana, and Ceriporiopsis subvermispora under five kinds of transformation conditions.

Gal, Rha, Ara, Xyl, Rut reducing agents antioxidants chelating agents substrates of enzymatic browning reactions effects on sensory quality of food Groups of phenolic compounds phenolic acids – benzoic acid derivatives – cinnamic acid derivatives tannins – hydrolyzable tannins (gallotannins, ellegotannins) – condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) coumarins flavonoids and derived compounds – anthocyanins and anthocyanidins 1 Advanced strategies in food analysis Analysis of plant phenols and flavonoids Richard Koplík – catechins – flavanons, chalcons and dihydrochalcons – flavons – flavonols isoflavonoids prenylated flavonoids (e.g. isoxanthohumol) stilbene derivatives (e.g. resveratrol) other compounds HPLC determination of phenolic compounds Sample preparation Isolation extraction by water (or aqueous solution of acids or salts), MeOH, EtOH, acetone, ethylacetate, dimethylsulphoxide... addition of antioxidant (TBHQ, BHA, ascorbic acid) enzyme hydrolysis (glycosidases, proteases, amylases) acid
