ABSTRACT
13
Doughs supplemented with endoxylanase (XYL) and varying amounts of microbial
14
transglutaminase (TG) were analyzed by sequential protein extraction, quantitation of protein
15
fractions and protein types, and determination of water-extractable arabinoxylans. With
16
increasing TG activity, the concentration of prolamins and glutelins decreased and increased,
17
respectively, and the prolamin-to-glutelin ratio strongly declined. The overall amount of
18
extractable protein decreased with increasing TG level showing that cross-linking by TG
19
provided high-molecular-weight protein aggregates. The decrease of the high-molecular-
20
weight arabinoxylan fraction and the concurrent increase of the medium-molecular-weight
21
fraction confirmed the degradation of arabinoxylans by XYL. However, XYL addition did not
22
lead to significant improved cross-linking of rye proteins by TG. Volume and crumb hardness
23
measurements of bread showed increased protein connectivity induced by XYL and TG.
24
Significant positive effects on the final bread quality were especially obtained by XYL
25
addition.

INTRODUCTION
34
Several studies have been conducted to analyze the effects of microbial transglutaminase (TG;
35
protein-glutamine:amine γ-glutamyl-transferase, EC 2.3.2.13) on the composition of cereal
36
proteins and the resulting changes of the baking performance of flours and flour mixtures. TG
37
catalyzes an acyl-transfer between Lys and Gln side chains of proteins thereby forming
38
covalent cross-links due to ε-(γ-Gln)-Lys bonds (“isopeptide bonds”). Whereas the
39
bioavailability of the essential amino acid Lys is not impaired by the isopeptide bond, the
40
properties of dough and baked goods e. g. loaf volume are affected. In wheat breadmaking,
41
the effects of TG are highly dependent on the applied activity. Whereas in poor flour qualities
42
an increase of the loaf volume at low TG concentrations might occur, high TG activities
43
usually lead to a drop of the loaf volume.1-3 The effect of TG has not only been studied in
44
wheat but also in barley and soybean4, in wheat-millet mixtures5, and in oats6. TG had a
45
positive effect on the quality of wheat breads supplemented with barley7 and millet5 but not
46
on breads from wheat/soy flour mixtures7.
47 48
In contrast to wheat, rye has not yet been in the focus of interest for the application of TG. By
49
now only one study has been conducted on the effects of TG on the rheology and baking
50
performance of rye dough. Beck et al. (2011) showed an increase in size of microscopic
51
protein particles upon addition of TG resulting in altered dough rheological properties.
52
Positive effects on loaf volume and crumb structure were shown after addition of up to 500 U
53
TG/kg of flour, and higher levels had detrimental effects.8 The distribution of rye proteins as
54
affected by TG has not been studied yet. The consistency of rye dough is characterized by
55
viscosity-enhancing polysaccharides, in particular arabinoxylans (AX). Recent work on rye
56
model doughs has highlighted the importance of AX and, in particular, the significance of
57
high-molecular-weight complexes of AX, protein, and starch for the technological properties
58
of the dough and the texture of the bread.9,10 Proteins are thought to contribute only to a minor 3 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
59
extent to the dough properties, however, a recent study showed that extensive hydrolysis of
60
rye proteins in rye flour by gluten-specific peptidases did not yield dough and bread with the
61
same properties as bread made from native rye flour.11
62 63
The gas holding capacity of rye dough may be attributed to the AX that cause high viscosity
64
of the aqueous phase.12 Besides the positive effects, AX are also supposed to hinder protein
65
(gluten) aggregation by forming slimy layers around the flour and protein particles. Another
66
recent study of rye model dough systems (i. e. doughs made only from flour, water and NaCl)
67
showed that protein network formation was significantly influenced by rye arabinoxylans13.
68 69
One possible approach for improving protein aggregation of rye dough would be to remove
70
AX layers around protein particles by adding endoxylanases (XYL). Depending on their
71
specificity, XYL cleave the glycosidic bond of the linear (14)-β-D-xylopyranose backbone
72
of AX thereby reducing the molecular weight of water-extractable (WE) and/or water-
73
unextractable (WU) AX, thus reducing the viscosity. Previous work showed that the addition
74
of XYL increased the dough volume after proofing and left the bread volume unaffected. In
75
the XYL-containing bread the cell walls were more fragmented than in the control.14
76 77
Caballero et al. (2007) combined the addition of TG and XYL to wheat dough and showed
78
interactive effects of the enzymes on the bread quality.3 The same effect was shown by for
79
wheat/millet bread (50/50, w/w).5 These studies showed an increase of the loaf volume by
80
25% upon combined addition of TG and XYL. We assume that a partial degradation of AX by
81
XYL in rye dough might improve the accessibility of the proteins for TG due to reduced
82
viscosity of the aqueous dough phase around the protein particles. While network formation is
83
an intrinsic property of wheat gluten, cross-linking of rye proteins could be improved by
4 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Page 4 of 31
Page 5 of 31
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
84
combined addition of XYL and TG and, thus, dough properties and crumb structure could be
85
improved. However, this has not been studied before.
86 87
Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of various amounts of
88
TG and of combined addition of XYL and TG on the protein distribution of rye dough, on the
89
molecular weight distribution of water-extractable AX, and on the texture of the resulting
90
bread. This should contribute to improving rye bread quality and open the possibility for
91
producing novel types of rye-based baked goods.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
94
Chemicals
95
All chemicals were purchased from SIGMA Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany) or VWR
96
(Darmstadt, Germany) at analytical or higher grade. Water was deionized by an Arium 611VF
97
water purification system (Sartorius, Göttingen, Germany).
98 99
Flour
100
Rye flour (Type 1150; mean ash content 1.15% in dry mass) was obtained from a commercial
101
mill (Rosenmühle GmbH, Ergolding, Germany). Rye flour with these specifications is
102
typically used for rye bread production in Germany. The water content of the flour was 12.7%
103
and the crude protein content was 9.1% in dry mass (Dumas method; N 5.7; TruSpec N
104
nitrogen analyzer; Leco, Moenchengladbach, Germany).
105 106
Enzymes
107
A concentrate of bacterial transglutaminase derived from Streptoverticillium sp. (Veron TG)
108
was from AB Enzymes, Darmstadt, Germany. The enzyme activity determined with the
109
hydroxamate method15 was 354.3 ± 6.1 U/g powder (1 U = 1 µmol of hydroxamate/min, pH 5 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
110
4.2, 30 °C). SDS-PAGE revealed that TG was the only protein in the powder with a relative
111
molecular weight (Mr) of about 40,000. A concentrate of bacterial xylanase derived from
112
Bacillus subtilis (Veron RL) was from AB Enzymes, Darmstadt, Germany. Endoxylanase
113
activity determined with the method of Bailey et al. (1992) was 12.2 ± 0.2 U/mg (pH 4.2,
114
30°C).16 Xylosidase and arabinofuranosidase activities were determined by the method of
115
Poutanen and Puls (1998) using 4-nitrophenyl-β-D-xylopyranoside and 4-nitrophenyl-α-L-
116
arabinofuranoside as substrates, respectively17. Feruloyl esterase activity was determined
117
according to the method of Mastihuba et al. (2002) with 4-nitrophenyl ferulate as substrate18.
118
4-Nitrophenyl ferulate was synthesized according to Hegde et al. (2009)19 with the
119
modification that the synthesis was carried out stirring overnight and that the completion of
120
the reaction was assessed only after16 h and not during the process. α-Amylase activity was
121
determined with the Ceralpha Kit (Megazyme, Bray Ireland). No xylosidase,
122
arabinofuranosidase, feruloyl esterase, and α-amylase activities were detected in the XYL and
123
the TG sample. For improving WEAX extraction thermostable α-amylase (Sigma A 4551)
124
and amyloglucosidase (Sigma 10115) were used.
125 126
Dough preparation, breadmaking, and crumb analysis
127
Doughs containing varying amounts of TG and a combination of TG and XYL were made
128
from rye flour (1000 g; 860 g dry mass), NaCl (15 g; Südsalz, Heilbronn, Germany), dry
129
instant yeast (10 g; Fermipan Red, Casteggio Lieviti, Casteggio, Italy) and water (760 mL).
130
The pH value of the dough was adjusted to 4.2 with lactic acid (8.59 mL; 90% (w/v);
131
AppliChem GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany) to simulate sourdough processing. TG (0, 50, 100,
132
250, 500, 750, 1000 mg/kg flour; 0 - 354.3 U/kg flour) without or with XYL (25 mg/kg flour;
133
610.0 U/kg flour) were suspended in the 760 mL water added to the dough. These dosages of
134
TG were chosen based on the results of preliminary tests, in which TG-induced changes of the
135
protein were not detectable via the Osborne fractionation/HPLC method (see following 6 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Page 6 of 31
Page 7 of 31
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
136
section) with TG concentrations below 50 mg/kg of flour. The dosage of XYL was chosen
137
according to the recommendation of the supplier. All ingredients were mixed for 4 min at 100
138
rpm and 1 min at 200 rpm in a Diosna SP 12 A-4 laboratory spiral kneader (Dierks & Soehne
139
GmbH, Osnabrück, Germany). The dough temperature at the end of the mixing process was
140
adjusted to 28 ± 2 °C by the water temperature. Immediately after mixing, 25 g of the dough
141
was frozen with liquid nitrogen, lyophilized, ground in a laboratory mill (IKA A 10, Staufen,
142
Germany), and stored at -18 °C until analysis. The rest of the dough was scaled into 300 g
143
pieces, hand-molded, placed into baking-tins (height/width/depth: 11.0 cm/7.0 cm/8.0 cm),
144
and proofed (30 °C, 80% rel. humidity, 45 min). Breads were baked in a rack oven (Matador
145
Store, Werner & Pfleiderer, Germany; 0.5 L steam injection; baking time 40 min; top heat
146
230 °C falling to 200 °C in 40 min; bottom heat 200 °C). After baking, the breads were
147
cooled to room temperature (RT; ≈ 20 °C) for 2 h before monitoring weight, volume, and
148
crumb firmness (hardness). Volume was determined on a laser device (BVM L370
149
Volumeter, TexVol Instruments, Viken, Sweden). Hardness was analyzed on a texture
150
analyzer (TVT 300 XP, TexVol Instruments AB, Viken, Sweden) according to AACC
151
International method 74 10A. Four slices of single bread from three different sets of baking
152
were analyzed and averaged.
153 154
Protein composition of flour and dough
155
The content of albumins/globulins (ALGL), prolamins (PROL), and glutelins (GLUT) was
156
determined by an extraction/reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-
157
HPLC) method as described by Thanhaeuser et al. (2014)20 except that the PROL fraction was
158
additionally analyzed in its reduced form (1% (w/v) dithioerythritol, 60 °C, 30 min). Briefly,
159
flour or dough powder (100 mg) was extracted stepwise with 2 × 1 mL 0.4 mol/L NaCl /
160
0.067 mol/L HKNaPO4, pH 7.6 at RT (ALGL), with 3 × 0.5 mL 60% (v/v) ethanol at RT
161
(PROL), and with 2 × 1.0 mL 50% (v/v) 1-propanol / 0.05 mol/L Tris-0.05 mol/L HKNaPO4, 7 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
162
pH 7.5 / 1% (w/v) dithioerythritol at 60 °C under argon (GLUT). After centrifugation (4235 ×
163
g, 20 min, RT) the corresponding supernatants were combined, diluted to 2.0 mL with the
164
respective solvent, and filtered through a 0.45 µm cellulose acetate membrane (FP30,
165
WhatmanTM, GE Healthcare, Life Science, Darmstadt. Germany). Half of the amount of the
166
PROL supernatant was reduced with dithioerythritol (1% (w/v), 60 °C, 30 min) prior to
167
analysis. For RP-HPLC, a Jasco-X-LC with autosampler X-LC 3059 AS, ternary gradient unit
168
LG-2080-02, 3-line degasser DG-2080-53, pump PU-2085 Plus, column oven X-LC 3067
169
CO, UV detector X-LC 3075 UV and Chrompass software (version 1.8.6.1) were used (Jasco,
170
Gross-Umstadt, Germany). The column was an Acclaim Nucleosil 300 C18 with 3 µm particle
171
size, 30 nm pore size and the dimensions were 2.1 × 150 mm (Dionex, Idstein, Germany).
172
The column was operated at 60°C and 20 µL were injected for ALGL, reduced PROL, and
173
GLUT, whereas 10 µL were injected for PROL. Water/trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) (999/1, v/v)
174
was solvent A and acetonitrile/TFA (999/1, v/v) was solvent B. The gradient for ALGL
175
started at 20% B, was raised to 60% B within 7 min and was kept at 60% B for 10 min. The
176
gradient for PROL, reduced PROL, and GLUT, started at 24% B, was raised to 56% B within
177
20 min and was kept at 56% B for 10 min. A flow rate of 0.2 mL/min was applied and the
178
effluent was monitored at 210 nm. For external calibration, reference gliadin (2.5 mg/mL)
179
from the Working Group on Prolamin Analysis and Toxicity (PWG-gliadin)21 was dissolved
180
in 60% (v/v) ethanol, 5, 10, 15, and 20 µL were injected and analyzed. The residue of the
181
flour/dough extraction was lyophilized and the crude protein content determined as described
182
above. All determinations were made in triplicate.
183 184
Sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)
185
SDS-PAGE was performed on a 10% Bis-Tris Gel (Novex by Life Technologies, Carlsbad,
186
CA, USA) as described by Lagrain et al. (2012).22 Dough samples made from rye flour, salt,
187
yeast, and water with addition of TG (0 - 1000 mg/kg of flour) and with addition of a 8 Environment ACS Paragon Plus

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
188
combination of XYL (25 mg/kg of flour) and TG (0 - 1000 mg/kg of flour were adjusted to
189
pH 4.2 with lactic acid, frozen immediately after mixing (5 min) and lyophilized. Lyophilized
190
dough powder (30 mg) was dissolved in sample buffer (1 mL), and 15 µL of sample solution
191
was applied onto the SDS gel. All determinations were made in triplicate.
192 193
Isolation of WEAX from rye dough
194
WEAX were extracted from dough powder following a method described by Ragaee et al.
195
(2001) with some modifications23. Freeze dried dough (1.5 g) was extracted with water (15
196
mL) for 90 min at RT under continuous stirring. The slurry was centrifuged (3500 × g, 30
197
min, RT) and phosphate buffer (0.3 mL; 0.05 mol/L, pH 6.9) was added to the supernatant. To
198
remove remaining starch, the supernatant was incubated with thermostable α-amylase (90 U;
199
0.4 mg; Sigma A 4551) at 95 °C for 60 min. The mixture was cooled to RT, centrifuged (3500
200
× g, 30 min, RT), acetate buffer (0.3 mL; 1 mol/L, pH 5.0) and amyloglucosidase (6 U; 0.1
201
mg; Sigma 10115) were added to the supernatant, and the solution was incubated at 60 °C
202
overnight. The mixture was again centrifuged (3500 × g, 30 min, RT) and the supernatant was
203
brought to pH 3 with hydrochloric acid (1 mol/L). To remove proteins, the supernatant was
204
stirred with Montmorillonite (0.6 g; Sigma 69904) for 30 min at RT. Before centrifugation
205
(3500 × g, 30 min, RT) the slurry was adjusted to pH 7 with sodium hydroxide (2 mol/L). The
206
supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 µm cellulose acetate membrane (see above) and used
207
for gel-permeation HPLC with refractive index detection (GP-HPLC/RI). All determinations
208
were made in triplicate.
209 210
GP-HPLC/RI of WEAX solutions
211
The Jasco-X-LC system described above with a Jasco RI-2031 Intelligent Refractive Index
212
Detector and Agilent Galaxie software (version 1.10.0.5590) was used for GP-HPLC. The
213
column was a Yarra 3µ SEC-2000 with dimensions of 300 x 7.8 mm, 3 µm particle size, a 9 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
214
separation range of 1000 – 300,000 and a security guard precolumn GFC-2000 with
215
dimensions of 30 x 4 mm (Phenomenex Aschaffenburg, Germany). The column was operated
216
at RT using 0,1 mol/L NaCl as solvent and the flow rate was 1 mL/min. 100 µL sample were
217
injected and the RI of the effluent was monitored. Chromatograms were divided into a high-
218
molecular-weight and a medium-molecular-weight fraction and the peak areas under the curve
219
were determined. The lower Mr limit of the medium-molecular-weight fraction was defined
220
by running maltoheptaose (Mr = 1152). The areas of the control sample without enzyme
221
addition were set to 100%, and the areas of the samples were expressed relative to the control.
222
All determinations were made in triplicate.
223 224
Statistical analysis
225
Data was statistically analyzed with the Software Statgraphics (Statpoint Technologies, Inc.
226
Warrenton, Virginia 20186, USA) and are expressed as mean values ± standard deviation of
227
triplicates. Differences were considered significant for P < 0.05.
228 229
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
230
Protein composition of rye dough as affected by TG and XYL
231
SDS-PAGE
232
Firstly, the protein pattern of the doughs was analyzed by SDS-PAGE after reduction. This
233
cleaved disulfide bonds but TG-induced isopeptide bonds remained intact. The protein band
234
pattern of all doughs looked similar regardless of the TG concentration (not shown).
235 236
Quantitation of protein fractions
237
In this study, the classification of rye storage proteins as PROL and GLUT is based on the
238
definition according to solubility (“Osborne-fractions”) and not on the biochemical origin.24
239
Storage proteins soluble in aqueous ethanol are designated as PROL, whereas GLUT are only 10 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Page 10 of 31
Page 11 of 31
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
240
soluble in aqueous ethanol after reduction of disulfide bonds. The contents of the protein
241
fractions are presented in Table 1. In doughs supplemented with TG, the PROL content
242
decreased from 3.3 to 2.0 g/100 g flour with increasing dosage of TG. The decrease was
243
significant (P < 0.05) for a TG level of 100 mg/kg flour or beyond. In TG + XYL doughs the
244
effect was somewhat stronger with a significant decrease from 50 mg TG/kg flour. This can
245
be interpreted by TG-induced cross-linking of PROL and formation of protein aggregates that
246
were no longer soluble in 60% ethanol thus causing a decrease of the PROL content with
247
increasing TG concentration. The more pronounced decrease of PROL in the TG + XYL
248
doughs in comparison to the TG doughs may have resulted from a better accessibility of the
249
proteins for TG-induced transamidation due to partial degradation of AX by XYL. This can
250
be assumed from microscopic studies showing that rye flour particles in water are surrounded
251
by viscous layers that remained unstained.25 Studies on wheat dough2, wheat flour / water
252
suspensions26, and TG-treated wheat kernels27 also showed a decrease in the PROL (gliadin)
253
content upon addition of TG, whereas Gerrard et al. (2001)28 found an increase of the gliadin
254
content in TG-supplemented wheat flour dough. Steffolani et al. (2010) reported an increase
255
of the gliadin content in XYL-containing wheat doughs compared to control dough without
256
enzyme addition, which they attributed to enhanced protein extraction due to a reduced size of
257
the AX.2 This result could not be confirmed in the present study because both rye doughs (0
258
and 25 mg XYL/kg flour) had the same PROL content. However, these authors used 70 %
259
isopropanol for PROL extraction, which might have dissolved a small portion of low-
260
molecular-weight GLUT into the PROL fraction.
261 262
The content of GLUT in TG-containing doughs increased from 1.1 to 1.5 g/100 g flour upon
263
addition of up to 1000 mg TG/kg flour (Table 1). The increase was only significant for
264
doughs with 750 and 1000 mg TG/kg flour. In TG + XYL doughs the GLUT content
265
increased from 0.8 g/100 g in flour without TG to 1.2 g/100 g in flour with 1000 mg TG/kg 11 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
266
flour. The increase was significant for the TG levels beyond 250 mg/kg flour. The GLUT
267
content of doughs with TG + XYL was significantly lower than of TG doughs for TG levels
268
of 50 to 1000 mg/kg flour, but the relative increase (∆ = 0.4 mg/100 g flour) was the same.
269
The action of XYL on the AX might have caused a better accessibility of the proteins for TG
270
resulting in large protein aggregates that were not extractable under reducing conditions. In
271
wheat flour / water suspensions, the GLUT content only increased at low TG concentration
272
and decreased when high TG levels were added.26 The increase of the GLUT compensated for
273
cross-linked PROL that were no longer soluble in 60% ethanol and ended up in the GLUT
274
fraction. In contrast to these results, several groups reported a decrease of the GLUT content
275
of wheat dough and flour suspensions with TG.2,27,28 This effect can be explained by the
276
formation of cross-linked aggregates of a size that were not soluble in any of the employed
277
extraction solutions, thus leading to a decrease in the GLUT content, which was not
278
compensated by cross-linked PROL. Upon addition of XYL, a decrease of the GLUT content
279
in wheat dough was attributed to interactions between soluble AX and proteins through ferulic
280
acid cross-links.2 However, no significant difference between the GLUT content of doughs
281
with and without XYL was found in the present study.
282 283
The decrease of the PROL and the increase of the GLUT content were reflected in the
284
PROL/GLUT ratio (Table 1), which decreased with increasing TG concentration from 3.0 to
285
1.4 in TG doughs and from 3.9 to 1.5 in TG + XYL doughs. In wheat, the gliadin/glutenin
286
ratio is negatively correlated with dough extensibility.29 Thus, a low gliadin/glutenin ratio has
287
been considered favorable for the baking properties of wheat and einkorn flours.30 If this
288
concept would be applied to rye, TG addition would decrease the PROL/GLUT ratio and,
289
therefore, improve the baking performance.

291
The unextractable proteins accounted for about one third of the total protein content of the
292
doughs (Table 1). This showed that the solvents used for the Osborne extraction were not
293
capable of dissolving as much of the rye proteins as it has been described for wheat doughs.26
294
Upon addition of TG to rye dough, the content of unextractable protein increased from 3.1
295
g/100 g flour in flour without TG to 3.6 g/100 g in flour with 1000 mg TG/kg, but the
296
increase was only significant for 1000 mg TG/kg flour. Comparable results were obtained for
297
TG + XYL doughs. As described above, the increase of the content of unextractable protein
298
was most likely due to the formation of cross-linked proteins with very high molecular weight
299 300
Addition of TG or TG + XYL only caused a small decrease of the content of the ALGL
301
fraction (Table 1). These small changes indicated that this protein fraction did not play an
302
important role in protein cross-linking.31 In contrast to these findings, Steffolani et al. (2010)
303
found a decrease of the ALGL content in wheat dough with increasing TG levels, which can
304
be explained by a slightly different extraction protocol.2
305 306
Extractable protein from the modified Osborne fractionation and residual protein were
307
summed up and compared to the crude protein content of the dough powder (Table 1). The
308
sum of the proteins was between 90 and 101% of the crude protein content. This showed that
309
quantitative monitoring of the protein distribution of rye dough was well possible by a
310
combination of Osborne fractionation and Dumas analysis of the residue.
311 312
Quantitation of protein types
313
The detailed evaluation of the RP-chromatograms enabled quantitation of single protein types
314
in the reduced PROL and the GLUT fractions. The PROL fraction was reduced before RP-
315
HPLC to be able to distinguish γ-75k- and γ-40k-secalins as outlined by Gellrich et al.
316
(2003).32 Protein types in the reduced PROL fraction were HMW-secalins + ω-secalins, γ13 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
317
75k-secalins, and γ-40k-secalins; in the GLUT fraction HMW-secalins, γ-75k-secalins, and γ-
318
40k-secalins were found. Typical chromatograms of the fractions obtained from doughs
319
treated with 0 and 500 mg TG/kg flour shown in Figure 1 were already different upon visual
320
comparison. The corresponding quantitative data was normalized to the control dough without
321
enzyme (each protein type set as 100%) and is shown in Table 2. Only a slight decrease of 5
322
to 15% was detected for HMW+ω-secalins and γ-75k secalins in the reduced PROL fraction.
323
Instead, the relative amount of γ-40k secalins increased with increasing amount of TG up to
324
29.1% (1000 mg of TG) and 14.7% (1000 mg of TG + XYL), respectively.
325 326
In contrast to the PROL fraction, a strong decrease of the concentration of the HMW-secalins
327
in the GLUT fraction was found. With 70.7% (1000 mg of TG) and 71.6% (1000 mg of TG +
328
XYL) of the original value (0 mg of TG, 100%), respectively, the decrease was much more
329
pronounced than for the PROL fraction. γ-40k secalins decreased up to 12% with increasing
330
amount of TG. Only the γ-75k secalins increased by up to 22.7% (1000 mg of TG) and 25.9%
331
(1000 mg of TG + XYL), respectively, with increasing amount of TG.
332 333
In wheat flour and dough, a decrease of the content of HMW-glutenin subunits, which are
334
homologous to HMW-secalins of rye, and of ω-gliadins, homologous to ω-secalins of rye,
335
was reported upon addition of TG, whereas LMW-glutenin subunits, corresponding to γ-75k
336
secalins in rye, increased. In wheat flour and dough, the content of α/β- and γ-gliadins
337
decreased but in rye dough the concentration of the homologous γ-40k-secalins
338
increased.27,31,33 In wheat, the different reactivity of the protein subunits in the presence of TG
339
is not due to the Gln content (Gln is abundant in all gluten proteins with 34 - 56 mol%) but
340
due to the varying Lys content (0.2 - 1.1 mol%).26 In rye, the Lys content of protein subtypes
14 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Page 14 of 31
Page 15 of 31
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
341
is 0.4 - 2.0 mol%.33 HMW-secalins, with 2.0 mol% having the highest Lys content of the
342
protein subunits, showed the strongest decrease with increasing TG concentration.
343 344
WEAX content of rye dough as affected by TG and XYL
345
WEAX were isolated from lyophilized rye dough according to a standard protocol for WEAX
346
isolation including elimination of proteins from the WEAX extract by Montmorillonite. The
347
yield was 4.3%.34 Although Buksa et al (2016) showed that rye proteins might be associated
348
with AX and postulated that ferulic acid could play a significant role in this interaction,10 we
349
are in doubt about that. Previous work has shown the presence of covalent AX-protein cross-
350
links, however, the content was so low that a functional effect is questionable.35 The isolated
351
WEAX were separated and analyzed by GP-HPLC/RI. According to the elution pattern, two
352
relevant peaks were assessed, the first one containing high-molecular-weight WEAX and the
353
second one medium-molecular-weight WEAX (Figure 2). Maltoheptaose was run as a marker
354
for low-molecular-weight oligosaccharides that were not considered in this study also non-
355
carbohydrate materials such as buffer salts were eluted at higher retention times. The relevant
356
WEAX peaks were integrated and the areas normalized to the control dough without TG
357
(= 100%). The relative peak areas are summarized in Table 3. In doughs with varying
358
amounts of TG but no addition of XYL the areas for the high-molecular-weight and the
359
medium-molecular weight peak were not significantly different. This was expected as no
360
XYL had been added. The XYL + TG doughs partially showed an increase of both the area of
361
the high-molecular-weight and medium-molecular-weight WEAX but no dependence on the
362
dosage of TG was established. Concerning the addition of XYL, preferably high-molecular-
363
weight WEAX were degraded by XYL. The decrease of the area was less pronounced with
364
increasing amounts of TG added. With decreasing area of the peak of the high-molecular-
365
weight WEAX a concurrent increase of the area of the medium-molecular-weight WEAX was
366
obtained when XYL was added. This shift in the distribution of molecular weight fractions of 15 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
367
WEAX confirmed the effect of the XYL. The experimental setup did not allow the conclusion
368
whether the increase of the medium-molecular-weight WEAX fraction was caused by
369
degradation of high-molecular-weight WEAX or by degradation of WUAX, as the XYL could
370
have acted on both fractions
371 372
Quality characteristics of rye bread
373
The influence of altered protein cross-linking in rye dough induced by TG or TG + XYL in
374
baked breads were investigated for volume and crumb firmness. The specific volumes of the
375
control rye bread (no added enzymes), rye bread containing XYL as well as rye bread treated
376
with different levels of TG and TG + XYL are illustrated in Table 4. The addition of XYL (25
377
mg/kg flour) increased the specific volume significantly by 6.6% (from 1.49 ± 0.02 to 1.59 ±
378
0.03 mL/g) compared to the control bread. The increase in the specific volume is in
379
accordance with the findings of Autio et al.,14 in which the effect of different XYL
380
concentrations on baking characteristics of rye dough were analyzed. The positive effect of
381
XYL on the bread volume could be related to an increase of the content of WEAX that
382
stabilized the liquid films around gas cells and, consequently, the foam structure by increasing
383
the viscosity of the dough aqueous phase as described by Courtin and Delcour36, Autio et
384
al.14, and Kühn and Grosch37 for wheat and rye bread. A further explanation could be the
385
release of bound water due to the hydrolysis of AX presence of XYL. With more free water
386
the dough becomes softer and up to a specific optimum the bread volume increases. This
387
effect is based on the plasticizing effect of the water molecules and therefore reflecting
388
increased dough extensibility as described by Jekle and Becker.38 The effect of additional free
389
water on bread volume and crumb hardness caused by AX hydrolysis can be countered for by
390
water adjustment.
391
For a comprehensive comparison of the primary effects of enzymatic treatment on the dough
392
and bread functionality an adjustment of the water content was consciously avoided. In case 16 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Page 16 of 31
Page 17 of 31
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
393
of TG addition, no significant influence on the specific volume was found for concentrations
394
up to 500 mg/kg flour. These results are in accordance with the results of Beck et al. (2011),
395
in which the effect of different TG concentrations on final rye bread volume (without XYL
396
addition) was reported.8 With increasing TG concentration (750 - 1000g/kg flour), a
397
significant decrease in specific volume was shown. The decrease in specific volume can be
398
explained by an excessive cross-linking in proteins, which prevent gas bubbles from
399
expanding.8 It is worth to mention that a decrease in specific volume could be also related to a
400
decrease in the free amount of water as deliberated later. Nevertheless, the combination of
401
both enzymes (XYL + TG) led to a significant increase of the specific volume up to a TG
402
concentration of 1000 mg/kg flour compared to the control bread (Table 4). The combination
403
of XYL and TG showed a synergistic effect on the bread volume in particular at low TG
404
concentrations. It can be postulated that the addition of XYL led to a modification of the AX
405
structure, whereby improved protein connectivity induced by TG can be assumed on the basis
406
of protein modifications described earlier. Improved protein connectivity improved the
407
stabilization of the dough structure and prevented coalescence of gas cells, thus leading to an
408
increased dough and bread volume. The detrimental effect on the specific volume observed at
409
higher TG levels could be related to excessively cross-linked proteins, which prevented gas
410
bubbles from expanding.8 It could also be related to a lack of water due to the newly formed
411
cross-links between the proteins. It has been described that highly cross-linked proteins need
412
more water for proper dough development than weakly cross-linked proteins.39
413 414
Additionally, the crumb firmness of rye bread was determined (Table 4) by texture profile
415
analysis. For the breads treated with TG, no significant differences in crumb firmness up to
416
500 mg/kg flour were shown. TG concentrations beyond 500 mg/kg flour increased the crumb
417
firmness significantly. The combination of XYL and TG led to weaker crumb firmness for all
418
breads compared to the breads without XYL addition. These results have to be considered in 17 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
419
relation to the bread volume, because increased bread volume exhibits lower crumb hardness
420
due to the increased porosity. Furthermore, the bread volume depends on the amount of free
421
water. Therefore, the crumb hardness is indirectly affected by the amount of free water. In
422
summary, the addition of both enzymes (optimum: XYL + TG 100 mg/kg flour) caused a
423
significant decrease of the crumb firmness. However, increasing TG concentrations increased
424
the crumb hardness, which was most likely related to the formation of additional isopeptide
425
cross-links between rye proteins.
426 427
Significance of TG-/XYL-addition in rye breadmaking
428
The addition of TG to rye dough has positive technological effects. Modified Osborne
429
fractionation provides an explanation regarding proteins because it clearly shows a shift of
430
soluble protein fractions (ALGL, PROL) towards insoluble ones (GLUT, residual protein) due
431
to cross-linking. As a consequence, the PROL/GLUT ratio decreases, which may be
432
associated with a contribution to higher dough strength.
433 434
The addition of XYL does not affect the protein distribution but the effect of XYL on the
435
molecular weight distribution of WEAX appears to cause a beneficial effect on the baking
436
performance.
437 438
If XYL and TG are used in combination, the bread volume strongly increases suggesting a
439
synergistic effect of XYL and TG. A possible reason could be increased strength of the
440
protein network induced by TG combined with the facilitated formation of AX-protein
441
complexes, because of increased mobility of WEAX due to (partial) depolymerization
442
induced by XYL. AX-protein complexes have recently been postulated to positively affect the
443
baking performance of rye dough.10
444 18 Environment ACS Paragon Plus
Page 18 of 31
Page 19 of 31
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
445
Thus, future work will be focused on using diverse XYL samples with different substrate
446
selectivities to achieve optimal AX degradation for subsequent protein cross-linking induced
447
by TG and complex formation. Finally, standardization of the water addition and mixing time
448
for enzyme-treated dough will be considered, since the modification of AX by XYL leads to a
449
shift of the water absorption and the viscoelastic behavior of rye dough.
