Thermal stability of peroxidases present in raw vegetable mixtures was investigated in order

12

to identify adequate mechanisms and corresponding kinetic models of inactivation. Inactivation

13

experiments were carried out for each material at five different temperatures which were from the

14

range 58–74 ºC for broccoli and potato juices and 62–78 ºC for carrot juice. Using the

15

multitemperature evaluation of inactivation data, a simple isozyme model was verified for the

16

inactivation of broccoli peroxidase. A combined three-reaction mechanism, which assumed

17

simple irreversible inactivation for one isoform and Lumry-Eyring mechanism for the other one,

18

was identified for carrot and potato peroxidases.

1. Introductio n

25 26

Consumers are interested in thermally processed food in which important nutritive compounds

27

are damaged as little as possible. Therefore it is of great importance to specify proper conditions for

28

food sterilization. For example, heat treatment of fruit and vegetable products should assure their

29

microbiological safety, prevent browning and loss of colour, and simultaneously, it should not

30

affect their natural qualities. To accomplish these requirements, a comprehensive study of thermal

31

processing must be made.

32

Peroxidases (POD's) are used as blanching indicators since they belong to the most stable and

33

widespread plant enzymes and have a certain effect on the loss of colour and textural changes of

34

fruits and vegetables (Yemenicioğlu, Özkan, Velioğlu, & Cemeroğlu, 1998, Forsyth, Owusu

35

Apenten, & Robinson, 1999; Icier, Yildiz, H., & Baysal, 2006). Their advantage compared to other

36

potential blanching index enzymes is a simple, inexpensive activity measurement (Khan &

37

Robinson, 1993b; Tijskens, Rodis, Hertog, Waldron, Ingham, Proxenia, & van Dijk, 1997;

38

Yemenicioğlu et al., 1998; Forsyth et al., 1999; Icier et al., 2006;). For example, horseradish

39

peroxidase was used for the development of time-temperature integrators that are systems

40

simulating temperature resistance of target microorganisms in thermal food processing (Lemos,

41

Oliveira, & Saraiva, 2000).

POD is a monomeric, glycosylated protein containing haem as prosthetic group (McLellan &

43

Robinson, 1987; Khan & Robinson, 1993a, 1993b; Yang, Gray, & Montgomery, 1996; Tijskens et

44

al., 1997; Forsyth & Robinson, 1998; Forsyth et al., 1999; Leon, Alpeeva, Chubar, Galaev,

45

Csoregi, & Sakharov, 2002; Carvalho, Melo, Ferreira, Neves-Petersen, Petersen, & Aires-Barros,

46

2003; Wang, Burhenne, Kristensen, & Rasmussen, 2004; Johri, Jamwal, Rasool, Kumar, Verma,

47

& Qazi, 2005). POD occurs in plant cells in both soluble and ionically bound isoforms that have

48

different molecular masses, pI (Khan & Robinson, 1993a; Forsyth & Robinson, 1998; Johri et al.,

49

2005), substrate specifity (Khan & Robinson, 1994) and thermal stability ( McLellan & Robinson,

50

1987; Khan & Robinson, 1993b; Yemenicioğlu et al., 1998; Forsyth et al., 1999; Johri et al., 2005).

51

The amount of covalently bounded carbohydrates significantly differ for POD isoforms or POD

52

from different sources (Yang et al., 1996). The primary function of POD in plants is the reduction

53

of hydrogen peroxide at the expense of oxidation of phenolic compounds. It is responsible for the

54

mechanical properties of cell walls during extension, cell adhesion and disease resistance (Tijskens

55

et al., 1997). The kinetics of POD catalytic action as well as its substrate specificity was widely

56

studied (Khan & Robinson, 1993a, 1994; Forsyth & Robinson, 1998; Leon et al., 2002; Rani &

57

Abraham; Kamal & Behere, 2003; Santos de Araujo, Omena de Oliveira, Salgueiro Machado, &

58

Pletsch, 2004; Johri et al., 2005).

59

POD thermal inactivation was studied for purified isoperoxidases (Khan & Robinson, 1993b;

60

Forsyth et al., 1999; Lemos et al., 2000; Machado & Saraiva, 2002; Carvalho et al., 2003; Kamal &

61

Behere, 2003), in crude plant extracts (Khan & Robinson, 1993b; Yemenicioğlu et al., 1998;

62

Quitão-Teixeira, Aguiló-Aguayo, Ramos, & Martín-Belloso, 2008; Rudra, Shivhare, Basu, &

63

Sarkar, 2007) and in vegetable particles (Icier et al., 2006). Different inactivation mechanisms were

64

identified. Khan and Robinson (1993b) found that even the inactivation mechanisms of highly

65

purified isoforms are complex. They suggested a micro-heterogeneity of purified isozymes to be 3

66

responsible for producing non-first-order inactivation plots. The origin of the heterogeneity was

67

assigned to different moieties of covalently bound neutral carbohydrates. Machado and Saraiva

68

(2002) found a biexponential model that described the inactivation kinetics of horseradish POD

69

well but was not associated with any exact mechanism.

70

An extensive study of thermal inactivation of an anionic horseradish POD was performed

71

using differential scanning calorimetry, circular dichroism and tryptophan fluorescence (Carvalho

72

et al., 2003). All three methods confirmed a hypothesis that the enzyme inactivation was a two-

73

step process governed by the Lumry-Eyring mechanism. It was found that an inactive

74

intermediate in distinction to a final, irreversibly denatured form was capable to incorporate a

75

haem. Another type of series inactivation mechanism assuming partially inactivated intermediate

76

species was postulated by Forsyth et al. (1999). Tijskens et al. (1997) who studied POD

77

inactivation in slices of peaches, carrots and potatoes observed different behaviour of bound and

78

soluble isoforms of the enzyme each characterized by first-order kinetics. Moreover, the bound

79

form underwent a transition into the soluble form.

80

Conventional heating was applied in this study in order to examine the inactivation of POD in

81

broccoli, carrot and potato purees. The objective was to identify suitable mechanisms of POD

82

inactivation and to obtain kinetic parameters that can be used in further analyses.

2.1. Vegetable juices

88 4

89

Four vegetable mixtures based on smashed carrot, broccoli, potatoes and potatoes with

90

spring onion were prepared according to the recipes provided by Nature’s Best (Drogheda,

91

Ireland). The mixtures contained about 97 % of vegetable components. Their exact composition

92

is given in Table 1. Vegetables, butter, salt and pepper were purchased in local shops and fresh

93

milk was delivered by a dairy company (Rajo, Bratislava, Slovakia). Broccoli was washed and

94

cut, whereas carrot and potatoes were first peeled. All ingredients of the mixtures were mixed,

95

chopped with a blender and squeezed in a juice extractor. The juices obtained were portioned out

96

into amounts needed for one experiment and frozen. The juices were defrosted at room

97

temperature before their use in inactivation experiments.

98 99

2.2. I n a c t i v a t i o n e x p e r i m e n t s

100 101

Inactivation experiments were performed in 1.5 ml plastic test tubes that were pre-

102

incubated in a water bath at an inactivation temperature and then filled with 0.8 ml of vegetable

103

juice of ambient temperature. In specified time intervals, the tubes were taken out from the bath,

104

immediately cooled down for 5 minutes in an ice-water/ethanol mixture (-4 ºC) and then kept in

105

an ice-water bath until activity measurement. Potato and carrot juice samples were centrifuged at

106

12 000 for 15 minutes whereas broccoli juice samples were centrifuged at 14 000 rpm for 40

107

minutes. The supernatants were used for the determination of activity.

108

In order to determine the reproducibility error of the inactivation experiments, the whole

109

experiment of inactivation of broccoli POD at 66 ºC was duplicated and samples were taken in

110

the same times. The variance of measured relative activity was first calculated for each time and

5

111

the mean over all time values was then obtained. The square root of the mean variance,

112

reproducibility error of relative activity, was 1.80 with 15 degrees of freedom.

113 114

2.3. Determination of POD activity

115 116

The POD activity was determined at 25 ºC. A sample with a volume of either 20 μl (carrot

117

juice supernatant) or 70 μl (potato and broccoli juice supernatants) was added to 1.45 ml of

118

0.19 mM 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)diammonium salt (ABTS) in

119

100 mM Na-acetate buffer at pH 5.5. The reaction was initiated by adding 50 μl of 0.02% (carrot

120

and broccoli juice supernatants) or 0.2 % (potato juice supernatant) H2O2. The sample volume

121

and H2O2 concentration depended on the specific POD activity in different vegetables (Leon et

122

al., 2002; Wang et al., 2004). The increase of absorbance at 405 nm (Wang et al., 2004) was

123

recorded for 1–15 minutes using Cecil 9000 spectrophotometer (Cecil Instruments, Cambridge,

124

U.K.). The activity was calculated from the slope of the absorbance vs. time dependence. The

125

enzyme activity of 1 U corresponds to the rate of absorbance change of 0.001 min-1 (Mdluli,

126

2005).

127 128

2.4. H e a t t r a n s f e r e x p e r i m e n t s

129 130

Since the set inactivation temperature was reached in the entire sample only with a time

131

delay, the analysis of sample thermal history was made and the values of the heat coefficients

132

were estimated. Pre-incubated test tubes were filled with 0.8 ml of a sample and the temperature

133

was recorded every 3 seconds using a 0.2 mm Ni–Cr thermocouple connected to a data logger

6

134

(THERM 3280-8M, Ahlborn Mess- und Regelungstechnik, Holzkirchen, Germany) and PC. An

135

illustrative temperature course is presented in Fig. 1. The experiments were carried out for each

136

juice and inactivation temperature in triplicate. The heat transfer coefficient was estimated from a

137

simple dynamic enthalpy balance (Illeová, Polakovič, Štefuca, Ačai, & Juma, 2003):

138 139

dT  K (TB  T ) dt

(1a)

140

t=0

(1b)

T = 298.15 K

141 142

where T is the sample temperature, TB is the bath temperature, t is the heating time and K is the

143

proportionality factor including the overall heat transfer coefficient (Illeová et al., 2003). The

144

coefficient K was determined with a good accuracy and reproducibility when no effect of the

145

temperature dependence was found. The mean values of the coefficient used in further modelling

146

were 1.40 min-1 for broccoli juice, 1.63 min-1 for carrot juice and 1.68 min-1 for potato juice.

147 148

2.5. M o d e l l i n g

149 150

For each vegetable juice, all experimental data were modelled simultaneously using the

151

so-called multitemperature evaluation (Vrábel, Polakovič, Štefuca, & Báleš, 1997). A biphasic

152

isozyme mechanism (Sadana, 1991) was examined where the inactivation proceeds according to

153

the scheme:

154 155

k1 E1   I1

(2a)

7

156

k2 E2   I2

(2b)

157 158

where E1 and E2 are native isoforms, I1 and I2 are inactive forms, and k1 and k2 are the reaction

159

rate constants. The corresponding mathematical model consisted of ordinary differential

160

equations describing the changes of the concentrations of native isoforms, CE1 and CE2:

161

d CE1  k1CE1 dt

(3a)

162

d CE2  k2CE2 dt

(3b)

163 164

The second model was based on a combination of the isoenzyme inactivation mechanism

165

described above and the series mechanism of Lumry-Eyring (Lumry & Eyring, 1954) and is

166

represented by the following scheme:

167

k1 k3   D  E1   I1 

(4a)

168

k4 E2   I2

(4b)

k2

169 170

where D is a reversibly inactivated form. The model equations describing the concentration

171

changes of species are as follows:

172 173

d CE1  k1CE1  k2CD dt

(5a)

174

d CD  k1CE1  k2CD  k3CD dt

(5b)

175

d CE2  k4CE2 dt

(5c)

8

176 177

The concentrations in Eqs. (3a, b) and (5a–c) were substituted by relative activities, which

178

were obtained after the multiplication of the equations by the corresponding molar activities of

179

the enzymatic forms and the division by the total initial activity. An exception is the inactive

180

form D, which activity was formally obtained as a product of its concentration and molar activity

181

of E1. The initial conditions for both sets of differential equations were:

182 183

t0

aE1  

aE2  1  

aD  0

(6)

184 185

where aE1, aE2, and aD are the relative activities of the forms E1, E2, and D, respectively. The

186

fraction of the initial relative activity of isoform E1, α, was a fitted model parameter.

187 188

189

The temperature dependence of the kinetic rate constants of reactions was given by the Arrhenius equation:

ki  ki 0e

Eai  T0  1 RT0  T 

i = 1–4

(7)

190 191

where ki are the individual rate constants, ki0 are the rate constants at the reference temperature of

192

T0 = 339.15 K, Eai are the corresponding activation energies and R = 8.314 J mol-1 K-1 is the gas

193

constant. Both models contained also the enthalpy balance (Eq. (1)).

194 195

All data fitting was performed using parameter estimation software Athena Visual Workbench 10.0 (Stewart & Associates Engineering Software, Madison, WI).

3. Results and discuss ion

199 200

Thermal inactivation experiments of each vegetable POD were carried out at five different

201

bath temperatures. They ranged from 62 ºC to 78 ºC for carrot and from 58 ºC to 74 ºC for other

202

three food materials. Higher temperatures for carrot juice were chosen because POD was more

203

stable in this material. No significant difference was observed between the inactivation rates of

204

POD in the two potato juices. The thermal stability of potato POD was thus not influenced by the

205

presence of 3 % onion. For that reason, only the inactivation of POD in simple potato mixture is

206

reported in this publication.

207

The results of all experiments are presented in Figs. 24. It is evident that the shapes of

208

the inactivation curves of individual POD's were noticeably different. Carrot and potato POD's

209

exhibited inactivation patterns typical for plant peroxidases which is characteristic by extremely

210

rapid inactivation in the first phase followed by several orders of magnitude slower rates in the

211

second phase (Khan & Robinson, 1993b; Forsyth et al., 1999; Lemos et al., 2000; Machado &

212

Saraiva, 2002). Both carrot and potato POD's lost more than 50 % of the initial activity during a

213

few minutes in the first phase. On the other hand, broccoli POD inactivation was biphasic with a

214

small deviation from first-order kinetics.

215

As has been mentioned above, the analysis of the kinetic data was based on the models

216

derived from mechanisms. Most publications on the inactivation of POD's found in fruits and

217

vegetables reported that these enzymes had many isoforms differing in thermal stability (Forsyth

218

et al., 1999; Johri et al., 2005; Khan & Robinson, 1993b; McLellan & Robinson, 1987; Rudra et

219

al., 2007; Yemenicioğlu et al., 1998). For that reason, the simple isozyme mechanism (Eq. (2))

220

was examined first. The model was formed by Eqs. (1a, b), (3a, b), and (6) and described the

10

221

inactivation of broccoli POD very well (Fig. 2). The mean square error of the relative activity was

222

2.32 % so the model could be considered adequate (Table 2). The kinetic parameters of the model

223

were estimated with a good accuracy too (Table 3). The initial fraction of the form E1 was 26 %.

224

The values of the rate constants at the reference temperature of 66 °C, k10 = 0.264 min-1 and k20 =

225

0.015 min-1, determined that the fraction 1 was the labile one and fraction 2 was the stable one.

226

These two fractions had a noticeable difference in the activation energies of inactivation which

227

were 71 kJ mol-1 and 333 kJ mol-1, respectively.

228

Table 2 further shows that mean square errors of the fits of the inactivation data of carrot

229

and potato POD's with the simple isozyme model were about 5 %. Significant deviations between

230

the experimental and model activity values were observed in the first phase of inactivation,

231

especially at lower temperatures (data not shown). The model was thus not adequate and a more

232

complex inactivation mechanism had to be considered. Following the existing knowledge

233

presented in the Introduction, an extended isozyme mechanism (Eq. (4)) was suggested for the

234

inactivation of carrot and potato POD's. The mechanism assumed that one of the isoforms

235

undergoes a biphasic inactivation according to the Lumry-Eyring mechanism whereas the second

236

one through a simple, irreversible one-step reaction. The model was formed by Eqs. (1a, b),

237

(5a-c), and (6).

238

The extension of the simple isozyme model resulted in a significant improvement of the

239

description of the inactivation of carrot and potato POD's. This is demonstrated in Figs. 3 and 4

240

by a good match of experimental and model data and in Table 2 by the reduction of the mean

241

square error of relative activity to 1.75 % and 2.21 %, respectively. The parameters of the models

242

and their uncertainties represented by the half-widths of 95% confidence intervals are presented

243

in Table 3. All parameters but the rate constants of the reversible reaction of the form E1 were

244

estimated equally well as for the inactivation of broccoli POD. The uncertainties of k10 and k20 11

245

were somewhat larger but still lower than the parameter values which makes the model credible.

246

The values of k10 and k20 were rather large what implies that the first-step had a character of rapid

247

equilibrium reaction. This step was responsible for the large drop of enzyme activity in the initial

248

phase but resulted in the formation of an intermediate form D which rate constant of the

249

transformation into an irreversibly inactivated form was much lower than that of the second

250

isozyme form E2. This is well illustrated in Fig. 5 on the courses of the relative activity of

251

individual peroxidase isoforms at the reference temperature of 66 C. The initial fractions of the

252

form E1 were 69 % for both carrot and potato POD, which is very close to the value of 74 % for

253

the stable fraction of broccoli POD.

254

The lowest activation energy, Ea, 70.7 kJ mol-1 was found for the inactivation of labile

255

isozyme of broccoli POD. Somewhat larger values, from 100.3 kJ mol-1 to 191.5 kJ mol-1, were

256

obtained for the activation energies of reversible reaction of carrot and potato POD's. The highest

257

activation energies, between 301 kJ mol-1 and 379 kJ mol-1, were estimated for the irreversible

258

reactions of potato, carrot and stable isoform of broccoli POD's. Unfortunately, is problematic to

259

compare these values to the values of activation energies presented in literature for simpler

260

mechanisms.

261 262 263

4. Concl usio ns

264 265

The investigation of the inactivation kinetics of broccoli, carrot and potato POD's revealed

266

the presence of two enzyme isoforms with distinct thermal stabilities in each vegetable material.

267

Labile and stable isozyme fractions were distributed in about the same proportion of 30:70 % in

268

all these materials but they differed in the inactivation kinetics. Whereas both broccoli isozymes 12

269

inactivated via first-order kinetics, the activity loss of the stable isoforms of potato and carrot

270

peroxidases was biphasic with a very fast, reversible transformation in the first step followed by a

271

slow, irreversible transformation of an intermediate. An interesting observation was that the

272

activation energies of the irreversible reactions of the stable forms were significantly larger than

273

those of reversible reactions or irreversible reaction of broccoli labile form.
