Abstract In order to comprehensively reflect the cigarette quality, a method combining direct injection of diluted sample with high sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)- electrospray (ESI)- quadrupole (Q)- time of flight (TOF)- tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was developed for the identification of major components of cigarette essences (jujube and mulberry extracts). Based on the observed relative molecular mass, MS/MS fragmentation behavior, MS/MS database and related literatures, the components of the jujube extract and mulberry extract were identified. The result shows that the composition of jujube extract and mulberry extract has some similarity. They all mainly contain amino acids, free amino compounds and Maillard reaction products, which are the main constituents of a cigarette essence.

Iris lactea Pall. var. chinensis (Fisch.) Koidz. is a traditional medicinal plant resource. To make full use of the I. lactea plant resources, constituents of I. lactea leaves were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry and 22 C-glycosylflavones were identified or tentatively identified. Optimal extraction of I. lactea leaves was established via single factor investigations combined with response surface methodology. Then, HPLC coupled with a diode array detector was used to quantitatively analyze the six main components of 14 batches of I. lactea leaves grown in different areas. The results showed the C-glycosylflavones were the main components of I. lactea leaves, and the total contents of detected components were relatively stable for the majority of samples. These results provide a foundation for the development and utilization of I. lactea leaves.

Abstract Exposing ingredients to high temperatures may result in chemical reactions between amino acids and sugars, leading to the formation of Maillard reaction products (MRPs). These products may result in altered palatability, protein quality, and digestibility. This experiment quantified key MRPs in commercial pet foods, estimated daily intake of MRPs of pet animals, and correlated MRPs with macronutrient concentrations present in the foods. The analysis included 53 pet foods and treats commercially available in the United States: 11 dry dog foods, 29 wet dog foods, 2 dry dog treats, 3 wet dog treats, 2 dry cat foods, and 6 wet cat foods. Diets and treats were analyzed for dry matter, organic matter, crude protein (CP), acid-hydrolyzed fat, total dietary fiber, and gross energy using standard techniques. MRPs were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. All data were analyzed as a completely randomized design using the GLM procedure of SAS 9.4. On average, wet foods had higher (P < 0.001) fructoselysine (FRUC) and carboxymethyllysine (CML) than dry foods. Dry dog treats had the highest (P < 0.001) FRUC (29.64 µg/g) and CML (0.47 mg/g) concentrations of all products tested. Dry cat foods had the lowest (P < 0.001) CML (0.10 mg/g) concentrations of all commercial segments. Wet dog treats had the highest (P < 0.001) 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF) (10.92 µg/g) concentrations of all segments and wet cat foods had the lowest (P < 0.001) HMF (0.22 µg/g) content. Dogs and cats fed wet diets would be more likely to ingest higher amounts of CML and FRUC compared to animals fed dry diets. Dogs consuming dry treats would be more likely to ingest higher amounts of CML than wet treats. CP was negatively correlated to HMF (P = 0.0425; r = -0.27973), while TSF was positively correlated to CML (P = 0.0417; r = 0.28080).

AbstractHeat-processed foodstuffs are a rich source of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) in the daily human diet. Although MRPs favourably affect the colour and flavour of heat-processed foods, they also have an impact on nutritional value and safety. Some MRPs (e.g. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) may be toxic, mutagenic or carcinogenic and their presence in food has been studied extensively due to possible negative health effects(1,2). There is a general scarcity of published information on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) concentrations in meat products.This study analysed whether there are differences in the concentrations of HMF between smoked pork tenderloins previously cured with the addition of glucose, saccharose or maltodextrin at concentrations of 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5% (including the control trial without sugar). Material for the tenderloin production consisted of longissimus dorsi muscles collected from 20 porcine carcasses. Colour parameters of the external surface (CIE L*a*b* system) and the content of water and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural were determined. The HMF content was analysed with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).The type of sugar used for curing had a significant impact on the amount of HMF formed in the product. The highest HMF content was found in the tenderloins cured with saccharose (it was about three-fold higher than the control trial and trials with glucose or maltodextrin). The formation of HMF was influenced not only by the type but also by the concentration of carbohydrates. Higher concentrations of glucose and maltodextrin resulted in a slight increase in the HMF content in the product (P > 0.05), while a higher concentration of saccharose produced a very pronounced HMF content increase (P < 0.05). Furthermore, tenderloins cured with a 2% carbohydrate addition were characterized by a lower water content (P < 0.01) and a darker surface colour (P < 0.01) compared to tenderloins with a lower carbohydrate addition. The results indicate the clear impact of technological additives on the HMF content of tenderloins. Conducting studies on the HMF in meat products is fully justified due to the relatively high HMF contents observed in the experiment (approximately 20–23 mg/kg), which were comparable to products such as bread or fruit jams.

Black ginseng is a processed ginseng which prepared by&nbsp; steaming and drying of white or red ginseng&nbsp; for several times (usually 9). This process resulting in extensive changes in types and amounts of several secondary metabolites.&nbsp;Thus, primary ginsenosides (the main active inredients in ginseng) were transformed into less polar derivatives by steaming. In addition, apparent changes happened to other secondary metabolites such as the increasing&nbsp; of phenolic compounds, reducing sugars and acidic polysaccharides as well as the decrease in concentrations of free amino acids and total polysaccharides. Furthermore, the presence of some Maillard reaction products like maltol was also engaged. These obvious chemical changes were associated with a noticeable superiority for black ginseng over white and red ginseng in most of the comparative biological studies including anticarcinogenic, immunomodulatory, anti-Inflammatory, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, antioxidant and tonic effects.
