Occurrence of Polyamines in Foods and the Influence of Cooking Processes.

ABSTRACT: Dietary polyamines are involved in different aspects of human health and play an important role in the prevention of certain chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Different polyamines can be found in all foods in variable amounts. Moreover, several culinary practices have been reported to modify the content and profile of these bioactive compounds in food although experimental data are still scarce and even contradictory. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of polyamines in a large range of foods and to assess the effect of different cooking processes on the polyamine content of a few of them. The highest level of polyamines was found in wheat germ (440.6 mg/kg). Among foods of a plant origin, high levels of total polyamines over 90 mg/kg were determined in mushrooms, green peppers, peas, citrus fruit, broad beans and tempeh with spermidine being predominant (ranging from 54 to 109 mg/kg). In foods of an animal origin, the highest levels of polyamines, above all putrescine (42-130 mg/kg), were found in raw milk, hard and blue cheeses and in dry-fermented sausages. Regarding the influence of different domestic cooking processes, polyamine levels in food were reduced by up to 64% by boiling and grilling but remained practically unmodified by microwave and sous-vide cooking.

Project description:This study was conducted to determine the impact of extreme temperatures, aiming at controlling microorganisms by cooking, on the physiology and the transcriptome of Escherichia coli. ABSTRACT: Because the genome of Escherichia coli K12 is well understood, this organism was used as a model to investigate physiological and molecular changes during cell adaptation and survival to cooking temperatures used in the food industry. Bacteria grown at 37Â°C to stationary phase in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) broth, were heated at 58Â°C or 60Â°C to reach a process lethality value (F) of 2 and 3, or until an internal core temperature of 71Â°C was reached (control cooking temperature). Both growth recovery and cell membrane integrity were evaluated immediately after heating and a global transcription analysis was performed by using gene expression microarrays. Only cells heated at 58Â°C F = 2 were still able to grow on liquid or solid BHI after heat treatment. However, their transcriptome did not differ significantly compared to those of bacteria heated at 58Â°C F = 3 (P-FDR > 0.01) where no growth recovery was observed post treatment. Genome-wide transcriptomic data obtained at 71Â°C were distinct from the other treatments. Quantification of heat-shock genes expression by real-time PCR revealed that dnaK and groEL mRNA levels were significantly lower at 71Â°C than at 58Â°C and 60Â°C (P < 0.0001). Furthermore, despite of similar cell inactivation but growth on BHI media after heating, 132 and 8 genes were differentially expressed at 71Â°C when compared to 58Â°C and 60Â°C at F = 3 respectively (P-FDR < 0.01). Among them, genes like aroA, citE, glyS, oppB and asd, whose expression was up-regulated at 71Â°C, may be considered as good biomarkers to determine more accurately the efficiency of heat treatments. Bacteria were submitted to four different heat-treatments. Biological replicates: 5 Controls grown to an optimal temperature of 37Â°C (and used to prepare a common reference for each array hybridization), 5 Treatment 1 (58Â°C F = 2), 4 Treatment 2 (58Â°C F = 3), 4 Treatment 3 (60Â°C F = 3), 5 Treatment 4 (core temperature of 71Â°C). Treatment replicates were randomly hybridized on 3 microarray slides Agilent 8x15K (total of 24 array areas). Equal amounts of the labeled control cDNA pool and labeled cDNA from one of the heated groups were mixed and hybridized on each array.
