ABSTRACT

2

Cell wall composition affects the texture of plant-based foods. In addition, the main

3

components of plant cell walls are dietary fiber constituents and made responsible for

4

potential physiological effects that are largely affected by the structural composition of the

5

cell walls. Radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. sativus) is known to develop a woody and firm

6

texture during maturation and ripening, most likely due to changes in the cell wall

7

composition. To describe these changes chemically, radish was cultivated and harvested at

8

different time points, followed by detailed chemical analysis of insoluble fiber

9

polysaccharides and lignin. During maturation, changes in polysaccharide profiles were

10

observed, with a decrease in the portion of neutral pectic sidechains and an increase in the

11

xylan portion being predominant. Radish lignin was characterized by unexpectedly high

12

incorporation of p-coumaryl alcohol into the polymer. Maturation dependent increases in

13

lignin contents were accompanied by compositional changes of the lignin polymers with

14

sinapyl alcohol being preferentially incorporated.

INTRODUCTION

21

Plant cell walls mainly consist of polysaccharides such as cellulose, hemicelluloses, and

22

pectins as well as structural proteins. In addition, lignin may be incorporated after completion

23

of cell wall growth. Thus, the composition of plant cell walls depends on the taxonomic

24

position of the plant as well as the tissue, the cell type, and maturity of the plant. For example,

25

primary cell walls of dicotyledonous plants are mainly composed of cellulose, xyloglucans,

26

pectins, and structural proteins, whereas secondary cell walls contain higher amounts of

27

cellulose, xylans, and lignin but less xyloglucans.1 Both pre- and post-harvest ripening of

28

fruits including the resulting changes in the cell wall composition is comparatively well

29

described in literature.2, 3 Fruit ripening is often accompanied by softening of the fruit caused

30

by degradation of pectins in the middle lamella and the primary cell wall. Especially the

31

degradation of arabinan and galactan structures is a characteristic of fruit ripening. Galactan

32

degradation is often described during preharvest development, whereas degradation of

33

arabinans occurs during storage of fruits.4,

34

described during the early stage of preharvest ripening resulting in loss of network structures

35

within the cell wall.6 In contrast, several vegetables develop firm and woody texture during

36

maturation; however, changes in the cell wall composition of vegetables are not well

37

understood. Woody texture is often associated with both enhanced incorporation of lignin and

38

formation of cell wall cross-links, which was confirmed for stored asparagus.7-11

39

Changes in cell wall composition of plant-based foods potentially affect both texture and

40

nutritional benefits. The main components of plant cell walls belong to the dietary fiber

41

complex. In general, dietary fiber is known to be beneficial for health,12 depending on dietary

42

fiber intake, dietary fiber composition, the detailed structures of individual dietary fiber

43

components, and their covalent and non-covalent interactions. For example, lignified fibers

44

are suggested to reduce colon cancer risk by adsorbing carcinogens such as heterocyclic

5

In addition, degradation of xyloglucans is



Page 4 of 34

45

aromatic amines, which is affected by both lignin content and structure.13, 14 The composition

46

and detailed structures of fiber polysaccharides determine the extent of fermentation and the

47

pattern of fermentation products formed in the colon.12 Therefore, a detailed characterization

48

of dietary fiber structures is required to evaluate potential fiber related health benefits of

49

plant-based foods.

50

To the best of our knowledge, detailed data describing the cell wall composition of radish

51

(Raphanus sativus L. var. sativus) (also known as small or European radish) is rarely

52

available. A few authors determined the monosaccharide

53

polysaccharides from closely related radish (Raphanus sativus L.)15-18 or lignin contents and

54

monolignol ratios.19, 20 However, a detailed characterization of the whole cell wall of radish

55

(Raphanus sativus L. var. sativus) and its dependence on the stage of maturity has not been

56

performed yet. Therefore, this study characterizes the composition of insoluble cell wall

57

components of radish, including both polysaccharides and lignin. In addition, maturation

58

related modifications of the characterized structures are described.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

62

Chemicals

63

Heat-stable α-amylase Termamyl 120 L (from Bacillus licheniformis, 120 KNU/g), the

64

protease Alcalase 2.5 L (from Bacillus licheniformis, 2.5 AU/g), and the amyloglucosidase

65

AMG 300 L (from Aspergillus niger, 300 AGU/g) were from Novozymes (Bagsvaerd,

66

Denmark); endo-arabinanase (from Aspergillus niger, 200 U/mL) and endo-galactanase (from

67

Aspergillus niger, 1300 U/mL) were from Megazyme (Bray, Ireland); the complex

68

carbohydrase mixture Driselase (from Basidiomycetes) was from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis,

69

MO). Chemicals used, including deuterated NMR solvents, were either from Sigma-Aldrich,

70

Roth (Karlsruhe, Germany), VWR (Radnor, PA), or Alfa Aesar (Ward Hill, MA).

71

Hexadeuterated p-hydroxycinnamyl alcohol diacetates were synthesized as previously

72

described.20

73

Plant material

74

Radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. sativus) was grown from seed in a greenhouse in January

75

2015 and cultivated for about 20 weeks under normal day/night changes. Temperature was

76

not lower than 15 °C. Additional light was given for up to 10 h when necessary. The first

77

batch (HA1) was harvested eight weeks after sowing. This time point represents the time

78

point at which radishes are normally harvested. The following harvests were 3 (HA2), 6

79

(HA3), 9.5 (HA4), and 11.5 (HA5) weeks after the first harvest. Samples were frozen and

80

freeze-dried directly after harvest.

81

Preparation of insoluble fiber

82

The freeze-dried material was milled to a particle size of 70%).11 Nevertheless,

336

the comparably low portions of β-aryl-ether did not dramatically affect the information about

337

monolignol composition obtained from the DFRC method, which is (with exception of HA2)

338

roughly comparable to the results of the 2D-NMR analysis. Because the DFRC method

339

selectively cleaves β-O-4-linkages to determine monolignols, only monomers that are

340

involved in these linkages are captured, whereas all monolignols of the isolated lignin

341

polymers are determined by using 2D-NMR approach.

342

Substantial changes in the monolignol composition were observed during maturation of radish

343

(Table 3). The portion of S units (DFRC method) increased from 17.0% (HA1) to 46.1%

344

(HA5, 11.5 weeks after HA1), resulting in a decrease of the G/S ratio from about 4 (HA1) to

345

1 (HA5). The increase of sinapyl alcohol used for lignin synthesis during maturation was also

346

confirmed by 2D-NMR (Table 3). Sinapyl alcohol was preferentially incorporated into the

347

lignin polymers by both β-O-4 linkages and β-1 linkages as shown by an increase of these

348

linkage types (Table 4). Both linkage types are mainly formed by adding a new monolignol to

349

existing lignin polymers, which represents the usual lignification process in its advanced 16 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

350

state.37 The decreased portion of dibenzodioxocin structures among the interunit linkages with

351

increased maturation can be explained by the increased incorporation of sinapyl alcohol,

352

which is less involved in the formation of dibenzodioxocin structures due to the occupied

353

carbon-5 position at the aromatic ring.

354

HMBC spectra of the isolated and acetylated lignin polymers were analyzed to get

355

information about the monolignols involved in the various linkage types. Identification of the

356

linkage types through which p-coumaryl alcohol was incorporated into the polymer was of

357

particular interest. Unfortunately, however, we were not able to link any of the linkage types

358

to p-coumaryl alcohol under the conditions (lignin amounts, spectroscopic conditions) used if

359

lignins isolated from HA1 and HA2 radishes were analyzed. HMBC experiments of lignins

360

isolated from HA4 radishes (Figure 4) showed that both β-aryl-ethers and phenylcoumaran

361

units result from coupling of coniferyl and sinapyl alcohol to the existing polymer.

362

Dibenzodioxocin units result mainly from coniferyl alcohol. In contrast, spirodienone and

363

resinol structures almost entirely derive from sinapyl alcohol coupling. Resinol units are

364

generally found to be formed from monolignol dimerization, especially from sinapyl

365

alcohol,37 whereas both coniferyl or sinapyl alcohol can be involved in the formation of

366

spirodienone structures.40 In radish, spirodienone structures appear to result primarily from

367

sinapyl alcohol coupling to the existing lignin polymers, which is in accordance with our

368

finding that spirodienone structures were increased with increasing sinapyl alcohol

369

incorporation during maturation. This is, however, in contrast to lignins from other plant-

370

based foods such as kiwi or pear where spirodienone units result primarily from coniferyl

371

alcohol.33

372

In conclusion, distinct changes in the plant cell wall composition were analyzed during

373

maturation of radishes. Some of these changes such as increased portions of xylans and lignin

374

are most likely due to the deposition of secondary cell walls with maturity, whereas other 17 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


375

structural changes such as altered pectin structures cannot be fully explained at this point. The

376

changes described go along with textural changes of the radishes. During maturation the

377

texture of radishes developed woody and chewy properties and got less juicy, tender and

378

crisp. In addition, changes of the cell wall composition should also affect the physiological

379

properties of the non-protein cell wall components as dietary fiber constituents.

Table 4 Linkage Type Profiles of Lignin Polymers Isolated from Radish Harvested at Different Time Points (HA1-HA5). The Linkage Type Distributions were Determined by Volume Integration of the Signals Resulting from the Respective α-Carbon-Proton Correlations in the HSQC Spectra (n=1). Integral Correction Factors Described in Literature

34

were Used for the

Determination of β-Aryl-Ether (β-O-4, A), Phenylcoumaran (β-5, B), Resinol (β-β, C), and Dibenzodioxocin (5-5/β-O-4, D) Portions. For Cinnamyl Alcohol (X1), Spirodienone (β-1/αO-α, SD), and Traditional β-1 Linkages (F) an Integral Correction Factor of 1 was Assumed.
