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.

92 93

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

Page 8 of 31

Page 9 of 31

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.
