Abstract
Sesquiterpenoids constitute the largest subgroup of terpenoids that have numerous applications in pharmaceutical, flavor, and fragrance industries as well as biofuels. Bergamotenes, a type of bicyclic sesquiterpenes, are found in plants, insects, and fungi with α-trans-bergamotene as the most abundant compound. Bergamotenes and their related structures (Bergamotane sesquiterpenoids) have been shown to possess diverse biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and insecticidal effects. However, studies on their biotechnological potential are still limited. This review compiles the characteristics of bergamotenes and their related structures in terms of occurrence, biosynthesis pathways, and biological activities. It further discusses their functionalities and potential applications in pharmaceutical, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and pest management sectors. This review also opens novel perspectives in identifying and harnessing bergamotenes for pharmaceutical and agricultural purposes.

Liu F, Wang C, Li C, He L, Wang X, Zeng X, Dai Y. Effects of Process Parameters on the Quality of Suantang Beef. Foods 2022; 11:foods11223585. [PMID: 36429177 PMCID: PMC9689645 DOI: 10.3390/foods11223585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Suantang beef is a traditional delicious Chinese food cooked in Suantang (ST, a sour soup fermented by microorganisms). However, the impact of ST on beef quality is unclear, and the process of ST beef lacks unified technical standards. In the presented study, we found that the additional amount of salt, cooking time, meat thickness, and beef-ST ratio significantly affect the quality of ST beef. After optimization, it was found that when salt addition was 1%, cooking time was 3 min, meat thickness was 2 cm, and beef-ST ratio was 40%, the color determined by colorimeter, texture determined by texture analyzer, and sensory scores of beef cooked by ST were improved compared with boiled beef. ST decreased the pH value and cathepsin L activity of beef, increased the content of organic acid, and changed the protein composition of beef. ST made the beef have higher hardness, and have better chewiness and cohesion. At the same time, ST reduced the disagreeable odors of beef and improved beef flavor. In addition, 88 volatile compounds were detected in ST beef by HS-SPME/GC-MS. According to odor, threshold, and odor activity value (OAV), 24 critical aroma-active compounds were confirmed in ST beef. This study provides a basis for the potential industrialized production of ST beef.

Comparative Metabolite Profiling and Fingerprinting of Medicinal Cinnamon Bark and Its Commercial Preparations via a Multiplex Approach of GC–MS, UV, and NMR Techniques. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12070614. [PMID: 35888738 PMCID: PMC9322727 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12070614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 06/23/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Various species of cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp.) are consumed as traditional medicine and popular spice worldwide. The current research aimed to provide the first comparative metabolomics study in nine cinnamon drugs and their different commercial preparations based on three analytical platforms, i.e., solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry method (SPME/GC–MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV/Vis) targeting its metabolome. SPME/GC–MS of cinnamon aroma compounds showed a total of 126 peaks, where (E)-cinnamaldehyde was the major volatile detected at 4.2–60.9% and 6.3–64.5% in authenticated and commercial preparations, respectively. Asides, modeling of the GC/MS dataset could relate the commercial products CP-1 and CP-3 to C. cassia attributed to their higher coumarin and low (E)-cinnamaldehyde content. In contrast, NMR fingerprinting identified (E)-methoxy cinnamaldehyde and coumarin as alternative markers for C. verum and C. iners, respectively. Additionally, quantitative NMR (qNMR) standardized cinnamon extracts based on major metabolites. UV/Vis showed to be of low discrimination power, but its orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) S-plot showed that C. iners was more abundant in cinnamic acid compared to other samples. Results of this study provide potential insights into cinnamon drugs QC analysis and identify alternative markers for their discrimination.
