AI Article Synopsis

  • Acrolein (ACR) is produced mainly from cooking oil-rich foods and is linked to chronic disease risk from food consumption.
  • The study tested octyl gallate (OG), a new food additive, and found it effectively reduced ACR by about 80% and 60% in two different cooking models.
  • Additionally, OG-ACR showed significantly higher antibacterial properties against E. coli compared to OG alone, suggesting its potential use as a ACR scavenger and antibacterial agent in food processing.

Article Abstract

Acrolein (ACR) is predominantly generated from oil-rich food during thermos- processing. Accumulation of ACR in vivo through food consumption has been associated with an increased risk of developing chronic diseases. Here, we investigated the inhibitory effect of octyl gallate (OG), a new food additive tolerant to high-temperature, alkaline and fat-soluble saturations, on the generation of ACR in OG-ACR, oil-Rancimat models, and real-world frying. Our results demonstrate that approximately 80% and 60% of ACR was eliminated by OG in the two models, respectively, and OG-ACR was detected in the deep-frying process using LC-MS/MS. The reaction pathways were clarified by synthesis and OG-ACR and OG-2ACR adduct structural elucidation. Our work reveals that the antibacterial activity of OG-ACR against Escherichia coli (gram-negative) was four times higher than that of OG. Thus, OG can be developed as a promising novel ACR scavenger for high-temperature food processing and an antibacterial agent in food storage.

The enzyme D-sorbitol dehydrogenase (SLDH) facilitates the conversion of D-sorbitol to L-sorbose. While current knowledge of this enzyme class predominantly centers on Gluconobacter oxydans, the catalytic properties of enzymes from alternative sources, particularly their substrate specificity and coenzyme dependency, remain ambiguous. In this investigation, we conducted BLASTp analysis and screened out a novel SLDH (Fpsldh) from Faunimonas pinastri A52C2.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease in which macrophages produce cytokines that enhance inflammation and contribute to the destruction of cartilage and bone. Additive Sishen decoction (ASSD) is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of RA; however, its active ingredients and the mechanism of its therapeutic effects remain unclear.

Methods: To predict the ingredients and key targets of ASSD, we constructed "drug-ingredient-target-disease" and protein-protein interaction networks.
