Dataset Information

Dataset on the phytochemicals, antioxidants, and minerals contents of pecan nut cake extracts obtained by ultrasound-assisted extraction coupled to a simplex-centroid design.

ABSTRACT: This article contains a dataset related to the research published in "The potential of the pecan nut cake as an ingredient for the food industry" [1]. A three-component simplex-centroid mixture design coupled with response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to generate statistical models and to analyze the dataset. The method was also applied to evaluate the effect of different solvents (ethanol, water, and acetic acid) on the extraction of bioactive compounds of pecan nut cake (PNC) and its antioxidant activity. Furthermore, simultaneous optimization of the solvent mixture was carried out to predict the optimum point with the best combination of solvents to obtain an extract with enhanced phytochemical composition, as well as high in vitro antioxidant activity. The maximization of total phenolic compounds, condensed tannins, and antioxidant activity of the PNC was predicted by the desirability function. A total of 80 interactions were run to provide the best condition for optimization. The combined use of the different solvents enables a higher recovery of the compounds than their isolated use. This dataset may help other researchers on the application of a mixture design to recover phytochemicals from a broad range of co-products such as defatted meals and other nut cakes, which are sometimes discarded as waste by many industries.

Project description:Pecan (Carya cathayensis) is an important economic crop, and its hydrolyzed peptides have been evidenced to reduce the effect of oxidative stress due to their antioxidant capacity. Hence, the protocols of ultrafiltration and gel filtration chromatography were established to obtain bioactive peptides from by-products of C. cathayensis (pecan cake). As measured by DPPH/ABTS radical scavenging, the peptides with less molecular weight (MW) possess higher antioxidant capacity. PCPH-III (MW < 3 kDa) presented higher radical scavenging capacity than PCPH-II (3 kDa < MW < 10 kDa) and PCPH-I (MW > 10 kDa) measured by DPPH (IC50: 111.0 μg/ mL) and measured by ABTs (IC50: 402.9 μg/mL). The secondary structure and amino acid composition varied by their MW, in which PCPH-II contained more α-helices (26.71%) and β-sheets (36.96%), PCPH-III contained higher ratios of β-turns (36.87%), while the composition of different secondary of PCPH-I was even 25 ± 5.76%. The variation trend of α-helix and random experienced slightly varied from PCPH-I to PCPH-II, while significantly decreased from PCPH-II to PCPH-III. The increasing antioxidant capacity is followed by the content of proline, and PCPH-III had the highest composition (8.03%). With regard to the six peptides identified by LC-MS/MS, two of them (VYGYADK and VLFSNY) showed stronger antioxidant capacity than others. In silico molecular docking demonstrated their combining abilities with a transcription factor Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and speculated that they inhibit oxidative stress through activating the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE pathway. Meanwhile, increased activity of SOD and CAT—antioxidant markers—were found in H2O2-induced cells. The residue of tyrosine was demonstrated to contribute the most antioxidant capacity of VYGYADK and its position affected less. This study provided a novel peptide screening and by-product utilization process that can be applied in natural product developments.
