Catechol derivatives interact with bovine serum albumin: Correlation of non-covalent interactions and antioxidant activity.

The interactions of catechol derivatives with model transportation protein-bovine serum albumin (BSA) were deciphered by the multispectral techniques, molecular docking and multifunctional wavefunction (Multiwfn). The representative catechol derivatives caffeic acid (CA) and 1-monocaffeoyl glycerol (1-MCG) with an (E)-but-2-enoic acid and a 2,3-dihydroxypropyl(E)-but-2-enoate side chain, respectively, were chosen in present study. The interaction results revealed the extra non-polar interactions and abundant binding sites facilitate the easier and stronger binding of 1-MCG-BSA.

Starch intrinsic crystals affected the changes of starch structures and digestibility during microwave heat-moisture treatment.

The structural and functional changes of starch during hydrothermal treatment are influenced by its intrinsic properties. However, how the intrinsic crystalline structures of starch affect changes in structure and digestibility during microwave heat-moisture treatment (MHMT) has not been well understood. In this study, we prepared starch samples with varying moisture content (10 %, 20 %, and 30 %) and A-type crystal content (4.

Comparison of trapping efficiency of dicarbonyl trapping agents and reducing agents on reduction of furanoic compounds in commercially available soy sauce varieties.

This study has conducted to determine the concentration levels of furan, furfural and 2-methylfuran in the six commercially available soy sauce varieties by an optimized Gas Chromatography Tripple Quadruple Mass Spectrometry. The extraction of analytes was performed by solid phase microextraction using 50/30 µm CAR/DVB/PDMS fibre in 25 min with 20% NaCl concentration under 35 °C and separation was performed on HP5-MS column. Different concentration levels of furan, furfural and 2-methylfuran were determined which differed significantly at  < 0.

Antioxidant Profile of 1-Monocaffeoyl Glycerol in Lipophobic/Lipophilic Media.

Oxidative stress has been generally considered as one trigger of organism imbalance, resulting in lipid peroxidation, DNA damage and protein oxidation, which could be relieved by antioxidant supplement or endogenous antioxidant system. In present study, 1-monocaffeoyl glycerol (1-MCG), an amphipathic caffeic acid natural derivative, was enzymatically synthesized by Lipozyme 435, and its antioxidant profile in both lipophilic and lipophobic media was evaluated. The 1-MCG was identified by HPLC-UV, HPLC-ESI-MS, and H/ C-NMR.
