AbstractIn this study, an electrochemical biosensor based on guanine and chitosan immobilized MoS2 nanosheet modified glassy carbon electrode (guanine/CS/MoS2/GCE) was developed and employed for antioxidant screening and antioxidant capacity evaluation. The oxidation peak current of guanine was improved and nearly tripled after modifications of chitosan and MoS2 nanosheet. The immobilized guanine could be damaged by hydroxyl radicals generated in Fenton solution. However, in the presence of antioxidants, the guanine was protected and the oxidation peak current of guanine increased. This process mimics the mechanism of antioxidant protection in human body. The factors affecting preparation of sensor and detection of antioxidant capacity were optimized. At the optimum conditions, the guanine/CS/MoS2/GCE showed wide linear range, low detection limit, satisfactory reproducibility and stability for detection. Ascorbic acid was used as a model antioxidant to evaluate the antioxidant capacity. A good linearity was observed with a correlation coefficient of 0.9959 in the concentrations between 0.5 and 4.0 mg L-1. The antioxidant capacities of three flavonoids were also tested and the rank of antioxidant capacities was ascorbic acid (51.84%), quercetin (45.82%), fisetin (34.39%) and catechin (16.99%). Due to the rapid measurement and low cost, this sensor could provide an available sensing platform for antioxidant screening and evaluation.

The effectiveness of several synthetic and natural antioxidants (AO) in inhibiting the oxidation of linseed oil has been studied. Under the conditions of accelerated oxidation at 100 °С, the values of the induction period of oxidation and stabilization factors of linseed oil in the presence of additives of known phenolic AOs, tocopherols, fat-soluble ascorbic acid esters and compositions based on them were determined. The data obtained indicate that ascorbic acid esters effectively inhibit the oxidation of linseed oil. The stabilizing effect of ascorbyl palmitate (AP) increases with an elevation in the content of α-linolenic acid in the oil and a decrease in the oxidative stability of the oil. One AP provided better stabilization efficiency than some known compositions based on it. Kinetic data on the accumulation of oxidation products in linseed oil with AP additives during the storage at room temperature and with free access of the air were obtained, demonstrating high inhibiting activity of AP under these conditions, which provides a possibility to increase the shelf life of the stabilized oil up to 18 months or more.

Ascorbyl palmitate is a fatty acid ester endowed with antioxidant properties, used as a food additive and cosmetic ingredient, which is presently produced by chemical synthesis. Ascorbyl palmitate was synthesized from ascorbic acid and palmitic acid with a Pseudomonas stutzeri lipase immobilized on octyl silica, and also with the commercial immobilized lipase Novozym 435. The latter was selected for optimizing the reaction conditions because of its high reactivity and stability in the solvent 2-methyl-2-butanol used as reaction medium. The reaction of the synthesis was studied considering temperature and molar ratio of substrates as variables and synthesis yield as response parameter. The highest yield in the synthesis of ascorbyl palmitate was 81%, obtained at 55 °C and an ascorbic acid to palmitic acid molar ratio of 1:8, both variables having a strong effect on yield. The synthesized ascorbyl palmitate was purified to 94.4%, with a purification yield of 84.2%. The use of generally recognized as safe (GRAS) certified solvents with a polarity suitable for the solubilization of the compounds made the process a viable alternative for the synthesis and downstream processing of ascorbyl palmitate.

Abstrak. Penggunaan antioksidan pada pembuatan protected active dried yeast (PADY) dapat memperpanjang umur simpan ragi kering. Antioksidan yang sering digunakan adalah antioksidan sintesis BHA dan BHT yang diduga bersifat karsinogenik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari alternatif antioksidan yang lebih aman. Lima antioksidan yaitu asam sitrat, asam askorbat, tokoferol, natrium eritrobat, dan askorbil palmitat pada rentang konsentrasi 0,025-0,5% diuji pada suspensi ragiuntuk mempelajari efek inhibisi dari antioksidan tersebut. Uji laju produksi CO2 menunjukkan sifat noninhibisi dari asam askorbat, natrium eritorbat, asam sitrat, dan tokoferol, sedangkan sifat inhibisi askorbil palmitat dan BHT perlu diteliti lebih lanjut. Formulasi antioksidan terpilih untuk produksi PADY adalah asam sitrat 0,5%, asam askorbat 0,5%, dan tokoferol 0,5%. Pengeringan ragi dengan spray dryer menghasilkan PADY dengan kadar air sesuai standar. PADY dengan sifat fisik terbaik adalah variasi asam sitrat 0,5% dan asam askorbat 0,5% karena kelarutan dalam air yang baik serta granula yang lebih halus. Stabilitas vitalitas PADY diukur selama 45-50 hari, dan didapatkan PADY dengan antioksidan asam askorbat 0,5% memiliki konstanta laju kematian terendah, yaitu 0,0492/hari, setara dengan umur simpan 20 hari. Dengan demikian, formulasi antioksidan asam askorbat 0,5% berpotensi untuk dikembangkan pada produksi PADY. Kata kunci: antioksidan, ragi kering, stabilitas, vitalitas. Abstract. Variation of Antioxidant in Production of Protected Active Dried Yeast. The use of antioxidants in production of protected active dried yeast (PADY) can increase dried yeast’s shelf life. Usually, the antioxidants used are synthetic antioxidants such as BHA and BHT, which are known to be carcinogenic. Therefore, the aim of this research is to study antioxidant alternative that is safer. Five antioxidants, i.e. citric acid, ascorbic acid, tocopherol, sodium erythorbate, and ascorbyl palmitate in concentration range of 0.025-0.5% were tested on yeast suspension to study its inhibitory effect. CO2 production rate test showed noninhibitory characteristic of ascorbic acid, sodium erythorbate, citric acid, and tocopherol, whereas ascorbyl palmitate and BHT showed inhibitory characteristic. Formulations of antioxidants selected are 0.5% citric acid, 0.5% ascorbic acid, and 0.5% tocopherol. Spray drying of yeast resulted in PADY with moisture content within standard. PADYs with the best physical properties are 0.5% citric acid and 0.5% ascorbic acid variation due to good water solubility and finer granules. Vitality stability of PADY was measured for 45-50 days. PADY with 0.5% ascorbic acid had the lowest death rate constant, i.e. 0.0492/day, which is equivalent to 20-days shelf life. Thus, ascorbic acid antioxidant formulation of 0.5% can be developed in the production of PADY. Keywords: antioxidant, dried yeast, stability, vitality.

The two case studies in this work involve the development and fabrication of an electrochemical biosensor using various enzymes for the evaluation of the electrochemical responses, relating to the total phenolic (TP) content and the antioxidant activities in wine and tea samples respectively. The modification of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was carried out using green apple as an enzymatic source of polyphenol oxidase and laccase enzyme. The experimental variables were optimized using the Box-Behnken experimental design as a predictive model, for a better understanding of the parameters and their interaction responses with each other during an electrochemical analysis. This multivariate optimization method is based on a factorial design, where the three most influential factors include the electrolyte pH, the deposition time (td) and the scan rate (sr). The design was run in a single block fashion while random order of experiment was selected to provide greater protection against the effects of outlying variables. The optimized results obtained yielded the most suitable conditions for the determination of the TP content in wine samples. They were selected as follows: phosphate buffer of pH 7.65 as supporting electrolyte, td 29.8 s and sr 25.0 mV/s respectively. The method was optimized for the current signal at a deposition potential of 0.2 V and within an oxidation potential of -0.2 V to 0.6 V. Good analytical responses were obtained with apple sensors for the detection of TP content in wine samples, with a higher concentration in red wines than in white wines. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used to establish and interpret the redox mechanisms of flavonoids present in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The sensor responses were evaluated by first, investigating the changes in the total phenolic (TP) content in wine samples using catechin as a standard. Thereafter, the electrochemical behaviour of rutin and ascorbic acid, antioxidant capacities (trolox reagents) were established in tea samples, yielding a positive linear correlation between the trolox equivalent antioxidant capacities (TEAC) and TP content (R2 = 0.9812 ± 0.012). DPV was applied to the laccase modified GCE, and the experimental results indicate that this sensor shows good reducing properties. The scavenging ability of 2,2’-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) a diammonium salt, was assessed in the sample extracts, which yielded half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 10.80 μg/ml and 11.62 μg/ml for ascorbic acid and rutin respectively. These findings indicated that the experimental design was a convenient method to evaluate the statistical significance of the optimised parameters, and the positive linearity for the TEAC and the TP content confirms the robustness of this methodology.
