Project description:Metal-catalyzed lipid oxidation is a major factor in food waste, as it reduces shelf life. Addressing this issue, our study investigates the potential of hydrolysates derived from potato protein, a by-product of potato starch production, as metal chelating antioxidants. Through sequential en-zymatic hydrolysis using Alcalase or Trypsin combined with Flavourzyme, we produced various hydrolysates, which were then fractionated via ultrafiltration. Using a combination of peptidomics and bioinformatics, we predicted the presence of metal-chelating and free radical scavenging pep-tides across all hydrolysate fractions, with a trend indicating a higher content of antioxidant pep-tides in lower molecular weight fractions. To validate these predictions, we utilized Surface Plas-mon Resonance (SPR) and a 9-day emulsion storage experiment. While SPR demonstrated poten-tial in identifying antioxidant activity, it faced challenges in differentiating between hydrolysate fractions due to significant standard errors. In the storage experiment, all hydrolysates showed li-pid oxidation inhibition, though not as effectively as EDTA. Remarkably, one fraction (AF13) was not significantly different (p < 0.05) from EDTA in suppressing hexanal formation. These results highlight SPR and peptidomics/bioinformatics as promising yet limited methods for antioxidant screening. Importantly, this study reveals the potential of potato protein hydrolysates as antioxi-dants in food products, warranting further research. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of SPR as a screening technique for potato protein hydrolysates (PPH) as metal chelating antioxidants. More specifically, the goal was to correlate the KD of the hydrolysates, determined by SPR, with development of different oxidation markers obtained during a storage experiment where the PPHs were added as antioxidants to 5 % fish oil-in-water emulsions at pH 7. Additionally, the effect of using different combinations of enzymes on antioxidant activity of the hydrolysates was investigated and peptidomics was applied to characterize the composition of the hydroly-sates. With the aim of achieving shorter peptides through a high degree of hydrolysis (DH%), this study utilized sequential hydrolysis, where Trypsin (Try) or Alcalase (Alc) was paired with Flavourzyme (Fla). Owing to its broad specificity as a heterogeneous combination of various endo- and exopeptidases [20], Flavourzyme is known to facilitate high DH% and the production of short peptides [21]. However, it has been reported that when used solely with a denatured substrate protein of limited solubility, Flavourzyme can yield a significantly lower DH% than anticipated [19]. Consequently, this study was designed to include substrate pre-digestion prior to Flavourzyme addition.

Project description:Efficient microbial conversion of lignocellulosic hydrolysates to biofuels is a key barrier to the economically viable deployment of lignocellulosic biofuels. A chief contributor to this barrier is the impact on microbial processes and energy metabolism of lignocellulose-derived inhibitors, including phenolic carboxylates, phenolic amides (for ammonia-pretreated biomass), phenolic aldehydes, and furfurals. To understand the bacterial pathways induced by inhibitors present in ammonia-pretreated biomass hydrolysates, which are less well studied than acid-pretreated biomass hydrolysates, we developed and exploited synthetic mimics of ammonia-pretreated corn stover hydrolysate (ACSH). To determine regulatory responses to the inhibitors normally present in ACSH, we measured transcript and protein levels in an Escherichia coli ethanologen using RNA-seq and quantitative proteomics during fermentation to ethanol of synthetic hydrolysates containing or lacking the inhibitors. Our study identified four major regulators mediating these responses, the MarA/SoxS/Rob network, AaeR, FrmR, and YqhC. Induction of these regulons was correlated with a reduced rate of ethanol production, buildup of pyruvate, depletion of ATP and NAD(P)H, and an inhibition of xylose conversion. The aromatic aldehyde inhibitor 5M-bM-^@M-^Qhydroxymethylfurfural appeared to be reduced to its alcohol form by the ethanologen during fermentation, whereas phenolic acid and amide inhibitors were not metabolized. Together, our findings establish that the major regulatory responses to lignocellulose-derived inhibitors are mediated by transcriptional rather than translational regulators, suggest that energy consumed for inhibitor efflux and detoxification may limit biofuel production, and identify a network of regulators for future synthetic biology efforts. E.coli ethanologen strain GLBRCE1 was grown in 4 media, AFEX corn stover hydrolysate (ACSH), synthetic hydrolysate (SynH), synthetic hydrolysate with added lignotoxins (SynH_LT), or synthetic hydrolysate containing acid or amide lignotoxins only (SynH_Acids_Amides). Fermentations were carried out in 3 L bioreactors (Applikon Biotechnology) containing 2.45 L of ACSH or SynH media, and cultures were diluted into ACSH or SynH with initial OD at 0.2, grown anaerobically overnight, and then inoculated into bioreactors to a starting OD600 of 0.2. Two biological replicates (independent cultures) were grown in each medium. RNA samples were obtained at 6 time points, corresponding to early exponential (Exp1), Mid-exponential (Exp2), Late-exponential (Exp3), transitional (Trans), stationary (Stat1) and late stationary (Stat2) growth phases.
