ABSTRACT

3

The effect of epigallocatechin gallate enriched green tea extract (GTE) on flavor,

4

Maillard reactions and protein modifications in lactose-hydrolyzed (LH) ultra-high

5

temperature (UHT) processed milk was examined during storage at 40 °C for up to 42

6

days. Addition of GTE inhibited the formation of Strecker aldehydes by up to 95%

7

compared to control milk, and the effect was similar when GTE was added either

8

before or after UHT treatment. Release of free amino acids, caused by proteolysis,

9

during storage was also decreased in milk added GTE either before or after UHT

10

treatment compared to control milk. Binding of polyphenols to milk proteins was

11

observed in both fresh and stored milk samples. The inhibition of Strecker aldehyde

12

formation by GTE may be explained by two different mechanisms; inhibition of

13

proteolysis during storage by GTE or binding of amino acids and proteins to the GTE

14

polyphenols.

INTRODUCTION

22

Lactose-hydrolyzed (LH) milk has become an increasingly important dairy product

23

during the last years due to an increased awareness of lactose intolerance.1 Ultra-high

24

temperature (UHT) processing (e.g. 135-150 °C for 3-15 s) is often applied to

25

increase the shelf life of milk by reducing the microbial load, however, the high

26

temperature treatment may alter the color during storage as well as the flavor of the

27

milk. The quality changes that are observed in UHT milk during storage are caused by

28

oxidation of lipids and proteins as well as Maillard reactions.2–4 In LH milk, Maillard

29

reactions are very pronounced due to the presence of glucose and galactose, which

30

have been shown to react 10 times and 20 times faster, respectively, with amine

31

groups compared to lactose.5 Additionally, proteolytic side activity from the lactase

32

enzyme preparation used for lactose hydrolysis is responsible for release of free

33

amino acids and thus an increased concentration of reactants for the Maillard reaction

34

substrates.2,5–7

35 36

The Maillard reaction is initiated by a condensation between a carbonyl group,

37

usually from a reducing sugar, and an amine or guanidine group to form a Schiff base.

38

The Schiff base is rearranged to an aminoketose, an Amadori product, which is

39

further degraded to highly reactive α-dicarbonyls, such as glyoxal, methylglyoxal and

40

deoxyosones. These can react further to produce flavor compounds, browning and

41

advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), such as N-ε-carboxymethyllysine, pyrraline,

42

and pentosidine.8 Alongside with the Amadori degradation, the reducing sugars can

43

also undergo different fragmentations reactions to form the reactive carbonyl

44

compounds.9 The concentration of 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) and 3-deoxygalactosone

45

(3-DGal) have been found to increase up to 0.3 mM in LH UHT milk stored for 4 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

46

months at 37 °C.10 α-Dicarbonyls will also react with free amino acids, ultimately

47

resulting in Strecker degradation and formation of flavor-active Strecker aldehydes,

48

which are known to be responsible for off-flavor in UHT milk.11 Jansson et al. (2014)

49

observed an increased level of free amino acids and Strecker aldehydes in LH UHT

50

milk compared to conventional UHT milk during storage at room temperature after

51

nine months.7 The increase in free amino acids was caused by proteolytic side-activity

52

of the lactase preparation used for lactose hydrolysis of LH UHT milk.2,6

53 54

Development of feasible strategies for inhibition of Maillard reactions in LH UHT

55

milk would be favorable for prolonging shelf life.8 Previous studies have shown that

56

polyphenols from plants can inhibit the formation of Maillard reaction products and

57

certain undesired aroma compounds (e.g. methional, pyrazine, and furfural) in

58

conventional UHT milk during storage.12–14 However, few studies have reported on

59

the effect of plant polyphenols on LH UHT milk stability. Totlani & Peterson15,16

60

showed that epicatechin, which is a flavonoid found in plant-based foods such as

61

grapes and green tea, is capable of trapping α-dicarbonyls through aromatic

62

electrophilic substitution and thereby preventing them from further reaction. Today, it

63

is generally believed that this is the major mechanism by which polyphenols inhibit

64

Maillard reactions in food.8,17,18 Nevertheless, polyphenols may also react with

65

components other than α-dicarbonyls in foods such as furfural19 and Strecker

66

aldehydes.20,21 Furthermore, under oxidative conditions present in UHT milk,7

67

polyphenols are oxidized to quinones, which may undergo Michael additions with

68

nucleophilic groups, such as amines and thiols,22 or form Schiff bases with amines

69

and thereby cause changes in milk proteins.23–25

71

In most of the previous studies polyphenols have been added to milk before heat

72

treatment.12,13,26,27 In the present study, the aim was to investigate the inhibitory effect

73

of a green tea extract (GTE) containing 95% epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on the

74

delay of Maillard and Strecker reactions in LH UHT milk during storage at 40 °C for

75

42 days. GTE was added either before or after UHT treatment to examine the role of

76

the UHT treatment on the reactions investigated. It was hypothesized that addition of

77

polyphenols to milk would create protein-polyphenol conjugates. Mechanisms for

78

how EGCG may react with milk components are proposed and discussed.

Aldrich Inc. (Steinheim, Germany). Glacial acetic acid was purchased from VWR

98

(Radnor, PA, USA). Ethanol was obtained from Kemetyl AB (Jordbro, Sweden).

99

Urea, ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic acid (EDTA), and sodium citrate dihydrate were

Determination of sensory relevant GTE concentration

104

The maximal acceptable dosage of GTE was determined based on the ‘difference

105

from control’ method.28 Skim milk samples (0.1% fat) with GTE (0.1-0.6%) were

106

tasted and compared against a reference skim milk without GTE to assess the level

107

where GTE had a minor overall taste contribution to UHT milk. Differences from

108

control were rated on a 15-cm unstructured line scale ranging from “No difference” to

109

“Extremely different” by an internal sensory panel with 7 members (4 females and 3

110

males). At a concentration of 0.275% GTE the panel could not detect taste differences

111

from the control milk (p
