Abstract

Interactions between 10 aroma compounds from different chemical classes and 5 mixtures of milk proteins have been studied using static or dynamic headspace gas chromatography and solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Static headspace analysis allows the quantification of the release of only the most abundant compounds. Dynamic headspace analysis does not allow the discrimination of flavor release from the different protein mixtures, probably due to a displacement of headspace equilibrium. By SPME analysis and quantification by GC-MS (SIM mode) all of the volatiles were quantified. This method was optimized to better discriminate aroma release from the different milk protein mixtures and then from oil/water emulsions made with these proteins. The highest difference between the release in different proteins was observed for ethyl hexanoate, which has a great affinity for beta-lactoglobulin. Ethyl hexanoate is thus less released from models and emulsions containing this protein.

Characterization of self-assembling copolymers in aqueous solutions using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and Fluorescence spectroscopy.

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and fluorescence spectroscopy have been used to determine the micropolarity and microviscosity of self-assembling systems based on mmePEG-p(CL-co-TMC) having different PEG chain lengths and different CL/TMC ratios and PEG/MOG/SA (45/5/50) polymers with different PEG chain lengths. Four reporter probes have been used: two spin probes, 16-doxyl stearic acid and 5-doxylstearic acid, and two fluorescent probes, pyrene and 1,3-bis(1-pyrenyl) propane (P3P). We found that the micelles based on mmePEG-p(CL-co-TMC) polymers are of a biphasic nature. The micelles are made of a hydrophilic corona with low viscosity while the core of the micelle is more hydrophobic and more viscous. The outer shell is made up of PEG chains, the hydrophobic part of the chains making the core. The partial hydration of the shell seems to lead to a looser chain network than that associated with deeper domains in the micelles. By contrast, in micelles composed of PEG/MOG/SA, there is no clear domain separation. This is consistent with a spatial configuration of random polymeric chains forming a loose network. In these micelles, the microviscosity is low and the hydrophobicity is high.

Facile synthesis of a D-galactono-1,6-lactone derivative, a precursor of a copolyester.

2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-methyl-d-galactonic acid (5) was readily prepared from d-galactono-1,4-lactone (1) in 47% yield. The sequence involves tritylation of HO-6 of 1, followed by O-permethylation and deprotection. Lactonization of 5 led to the per-O-methyl-d-galactono-1,6-lactone, which was copolymerized with epsilon-caprolactone by ring-opening polymerization catalyzed by scandium triflate. The incorporation of the sugar comonomer into the polyester chain was about 10%.

Effect of counterions on the activity of lipase in cationic water-in-oil microemulsions.

This paper delineates how the different counterions affect the physicochemical properties of the aqueous aggregates and thereby the lipase activities at the interface of cationic water-in-oil microemulsions. To this end, we have synthesized a series of cetyltrimethylammonium-based surfactants, 1-14, having aliphatic, aliphatic with aromatic substitution at the alpha position, and aromatic carboxylate anion as the counterion. The physicochemical characterizations of these aqueous aggregates were done by conductometric, tensiometric, fluorometric techniques to determine counterion binding (beta), critical micelle concentration (cmc), and micropolarity at the microenvironment. It has been found that the activity of lipase mainly increases with hydrophobicity (which is directly proportional to the counterion binding (beta) of the surfactant) of the counterion and reaches a maximum when the beta value is around 0.5. Increase in hydrophobicity as well as beta leads to the attachment of more counterions at interface resulting in enhancement of interfacial area. Consequently, the enzyme may attain flexible secondary conformation at the augmented surface area and also allow larger population of substrates and enzyme molecules at the interface leading to the enhancement in lipase activity. After an optimum value of beta, further increase probably produces a steric crowding at the interface, hindering the smooth occupancy of enzyme and the substrate in this region leading to decrease of enzyme activity, while molecular surface area of the counterion did not show any virtual influence on the lipase activity. Thus, the variation in the counterion structure and hydrophobicity plays a crucial role in modulating the lipase activity.
