Effect of high pressure treatment and short term storage on changes in main volatile compounds of Chinese liquor.

ABSTRACT: Changes in main volatile compounds of Chinese liquor after high pressure (HP) treatment and following short term storage were investigated. 400 MPa-15 min & 400 MPa-30 min were applied to young liquor. Results from gas chromatography (GC) analysis revealed decreasing trends in alcohols, aldehydes and ethyl acetate immediately after HP treatments, which was in consistent with those in natural aging process; but no significant change was found in acids. However, differences in main volatile compounds between young liquor and pressurized liquors disappeared after two to six months of storage. Principal component analysis (PCA) performed well in presenting overall differences among all liquor groups, which verified our previous findings in GC analysis. This research broadened the knowledge of HP processing on distilled alcoholic beverages and provided an alternative technique for liquor quality modification.

Project description:In embryos subjected to assisted reproductive techniques, epigenetic modifications may occur that can influence embryonic development and the establishment of pregnancy. In horses, the storage temperature during transport of fresh embryos before transfer is a major concern. The aim of this study was, therefore, to determine the effects of two storage temperatures (5 °C and 20 °C) on equine embryos, collected at day seven after ovulation and stored for 24 h, on: (i) morphological development; (ii) expression of candidate genes associated with embryo growth and development, maternal recognition of pregnancy, methylation and apoptosis, and (iii) gene-specific and global DNA methylation. Embryos (n = 80) were collected on day seven or day eight after ovulation and assigned to four groups: day seven control (E7F, fresh); day seven, stored for 24 h at 5 °C (E5C); day seven, stored for 24 h at 20 °C (E20C) and day eight control (E8F, fresh 24h time control). The embryos and the storage medium (EquiHold, holding medium, Minitube, Tiefenbach, Germany) from all treatment groups were analyzed for (i) medium temperature, pH, and lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde; MDA) and (ii) embryo morphology, mRNA expression and DNA methylation (immunohistochemistry and gene-specific DNA methylation). The size of embryos stored at 5 °C was larger (p < 0.01), whereas embryos stored at 20 °C were smaller (p < 0.05) after 24 h. There were no changes in pH and MDA accumulation irrespective of the group. The mRNA expression of specific genes related to growth and development (POU5F1, SOX2, NANOG), maternal recognition of pregnancy (CYP19A1, PTGES2), DNA methylation (DNMT1, DNMT3A, DNMT3B) and apoptosis (BAX) in the E5C and E20C were either up or downregulated (p < 0.05) when compared to controls (E7F and E8F). The immune expression of 5mC and 5hmC was similar among treatment groups. Percentage of methylation in the CpG islands was lower in the specific genes ESR1, NANOG and DNMT1 (p < 0.001) in E20C embryos when compared to E8F (advanced embryo stage). Therefore, our study demonstrates for the first time the gene-specific and global DNA methylation status of fresh equine embryos collected on days seven and eight after ovulation. Although our results suggest some beneficial effects of storage at 20 °C in comparison to 5 °C, the short-term storage, regardless of temperature, modified gene expression and methylation of genes involved in embryo development and may compromise embryo viability and development after transfer.
