Evaluation of glycosidic bond cleavage and formation of oxo groups in oxidized barley mixed-linkage β-glucans using tritium labelling
چکیده انگلیسی


- The effect of hydroxyl radicals on barley mixed-linkage β-glucans was investigated.
- OH attack introduces a range of NaB3H4-reducible functions into β-glucan chain.
- Enzyme digestion of reduced OH-treated β-glucans releases mixtures of 3H-products.
- Fenton reaction-generated OH induces a decrease in β-glucan molecular weight.
- OH-induced molecular weight decrease may affect the β-glucan health properties.

This study investigated the formation of oxo groups in pure solutions of barley mixed-linkage (1 → 3),(1 → 4)-β-d-glucans (MLGs) incubated in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or Fenton reaction-generated hydroxyl radicals (OH), and it gives a fingerprint of products obtained after enzymic and acidic hydrolysis of OH-attacked MLG. Hydroxyl radical, but not hydrogen peroxide, introduced a range of NaB3H4-reducible functions into MLG chains. Driselase or lichenase digestion of NaB3H4-reduced MLGs released a complex mixture of 3H-labelled products due to the presence of unusual and incompletely digestible residues in OH-attacked polysaccharide chains. Complete acid hydrolysis of OH-treated MLGs yielded a mixture of 3H-aldoses (mainly glucose, mannose, galactose and allose) deriving from random OH attack at positions 2, 3 or 4 to form glycosulose residues which were NaB3H4-reducible to epimeric mixtures of 3H-aldose residues. Furthermore, the production of [3H]glucitol demonstrated the radical-mediated cleavage of mid-chain glucose residues to create new reducing termini. Oxidative scission of MLGs by hydroxyl radical caused a decrease in molecular weight of about 96%, which was partially inhibited by the addition of DMSO, an OH scavenger. The results can be a starting point for developing an assay to detect changes due to OH attack of MLGs in vivo, or during food processing and storage, based on the chemical or enzymic release of unusual sugar residues such as allose as diagnostic products after reduction/labelling treatment and partial purification (or selective digestion by lichenase) of polymeric material.
