Enzymic aldehyde-alcohol conversion Aliphatic aldehydes and alcohols are frequently found in the volatile fraction of most kinds of foods, e.g., dairy products, meat, poultry, fish, edible oils, vegetables, potato, fruits, and berries. Aldehydes and alcohols can be formed in a food in the normal or abnormal metabolism of tissues and microorganisms, in Strecker degradation during food processing or in lipid oxidation during storage of fresh, dried or frozen foods or food components. The formation of certain odor-potent aldehydes and alcohols from unsaturated fatty acids under the influence of enzymes and hemoproteins, particularly in vegetables, has been summarized earlier (1) . Aliphatic aldehydes, alcohols and esters can be transformed into each other as scheduled by the reaction route. 12 R-CHO . R-CH OH χ R-COO-R Step 1 is catalyzed by the enzyme alcohol dehydroge­ nase (ADH) in the presence of reduced or oxidized ni­ cotinamide-adenine dinucleotides (NADH, NAD ), while in step 2 formation of an ester can be achieved by ester synthetase systems, in the presence of a carboxylic acid (R -COOH), a reaction that is less well known for these types of esters. In step 2 the hydro­ lysis of aliphatic esters involves carboxylic-ester hydrolases. Green pea skins contain such a hydrolase, which was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel chromatography and two consecutive steps of ion exchange chromatography. This enzyme was found to hydrolyze ethyl-, η-propyl-, η-butyl-, n-pentyl, n-hexyl-, and η-hex-trans-2-enylacetate in increasing 2

The e q u i l i b r i u m constant also varies due to the nature of the a l c o h o l - aldehyde p a i r (2).

The f u r t h e r a p p l i c a t i o n of enzymic conversion of aldehydes and a l c o h o l s b y t h e A D H - N A D H system must probably await the development of suitable reactors. In m a t e r i a l c o n t a i n i n g enough NADH o r N A D i n correct concentration ratios this coenzyme content can be u t i l i z e d i n the reaction. When, however, the c o ­ enzyme i s i n s u f f i c i e n t o r l a c k i n g , coenzyme from an external source, such as spent brewer's y e a s t , must be u s e d . By a standard procedure (9) we f o u n d that b r e w e r ' s y e a s t c o n t a i n s a b o u t 2 . 5 mg N A D + N A D H / g d r y yeast i n a NAD /NADH ratio f r o m a p p r o x i m a t e l y 2/1 t o 10/1 d e p e n d i n g o n t h e w a y o f p r e p a r a t i o n . A high pro­ p o r t i o n o f NADH can be obtained by r e d u c t i o n ofN A D either chemically, electrolytically (_K)) o r e n z y m a t i c a l iy. S i n c e t h e number o f m o l e c u l e s o f coenzyme needed w i l l b e t h e same a s t h e n u m b e r o f c o n v e r t i b l e aldehyde or a l c o h o l m o l e c u l e s , i t w i l l i n most c a s e s be b o t h i m p r a c t i c a l and uneconomical to apply the A D H - N A D ( H ) technique without disposal of re-usable enzymecoenzyme systems. I m m o b i l i z a t i o n o f enzymes and c o ­ enzymes on s u i t a b l e carriers seems t o b e a f r u i t f u l evolution to enable future conversions of this type. In t h e c a s e o f A D H a n d N A D H b o t h t h e enzyme a n d a c o ­ enzyme a n a l o g u e have been i m m o b i l i z e d on S e p h a r o s e k B, which allowed the formation of a binary ADH-NADH complex.

Abstract. Enzymic interconversion of a l i p h a t i c aldehydes, alcohols, and carboxylic esters i s b r i e f l y surveyed. Odor properties are presented, both quantitative ones, as odor detection concentration and q u a l i t a t i v e ones, as odor descriptions of certain aldehydes and a l c o h o l s , which are normally found i n foods after lipid oxidation. Experiments were performed to reduce the amount of preformed aldehydes, p a r t i c u l a r l y n-hexanal i n milk containing polyunsaturated f a t , by addition of alcohol dehydrogenase and NADH. Acknowledgment. The authors are indebted to Mrs. M. Knutsson, M. Sc., Astra-Ewos AB, Södertälje, Sweden, f o r d e l i v e r i n g polyunsaturated cow's milk for t h i s study. Literature cited. (l)
