Comparative study was conducted on the basis of free amino acids and biogenic amines of Hungarian sparkling wines originated from 3 producers (Törley, Hungária, Balaton Boglár). Determination of amino acids and biogenic amines was accomplished by ion-exchange chromatography using an amino acid analyser. The dominant free amino acids in sparkling wines were proline and arginine and the major biogenic amine was spermidine. Based on results of chemometric analyses, free amino acid and biogenic amine contents seemed to be closely related to quality and the technology of sparkling wine making.

This study evaluated the effects of the canning process and different filling media on the free amino acid and biogenic amine contents of eels. The main free amino acids were histidine, taurine and arginine, which constituted 72% of the free amino acids in raw eels. All steps in the canning process significantly altered the free amino acid content of eels, relative to raw samples. The changes were influenced by the step, the composition of the frying or filling medium and the storage time. The biogenic amine contents were very low in all samples. Histamine was not detected in either raw eels or canned eels. The highest values were obtained for 2-phenylethylamine. The step of the canning process, the composition of the frying or filling medium and storage time also determined the changes in the biogenic amine contents. The biogenic amines indices were low, indicating the good quality of canned eels.

This paper studies the changes that occur in free amino acid and biogenic amine contents of raw meats (beef, pork, lamb, chicken and turkey) during storage (2 °C, 10 days). The meat cuts samples were harvested from a retail outlet (without getting information on the animals involved) as the following: Beef leg (four muscles), pork leg (five muscles), lamb leg (seven muscles), turkey leg (four muscles), and chicken breast (one muscle). Meat composition varied according to meat types. In general, pH, microbiology counts, biogenic amine (BA), and free amino acid (FAA) contents were also affected by meat types and storage time (p < 0.05). Chicken and turkey presented the highest levels (p < 0.05) of FAAs. Total free amino acids (TFAA) were higher (p < 0.05) in white meats than in red ones. The behavior pattern, of the total free amino acids precursors (TFAAP) of Bas, was saw-toothed, mainly in chicken and turkey meat during storage, which limits their use as quality indexes. Spermidine and spermine contents were initially different among the meats. Putrescine was the most prevalent BA (p < 0.05) irrespective of species. In general, chicken and turkey contained the highest (p < 0.05) levels of BAs, and TFAAP of BAs. In terms of the biogenic amine index (BAI), the quality of chicken was the worst while beef meat was the only sample whose quality remained acceptable through the study. This BAI seems to be more suitable as a quality index for white meat freshness than for red meat, especially for beef.

Using intragastric titration in dogs with gastric fistulas, dose-response studies were carried out with liver extract and with a mixture of amino acids that matched the free amino acids found in liver extract. All solutions were adjusted to pH 7.0 and osmolality to 290 mosmol x kg-1. Doses are expressed as the sum of the concentrations of all free amino acids. At each dose studied (free amino acid concentration: 2.8, 5.6, 11, 23, and 45 mM), acid secretion in response to the free amino acid mixture was not significantly different from that of liver extract. The peak response to both liver extract and the free amino acid mixture occurred with the 23-mM dose and represented about 60% of the maximal response to histamine. The serum concentrations of gastrin after liver extract and the amino acid mixture were not significantly different. It is concluded that in dogs with gastric fistula, gastric acid secretion and release of gastrin were not significantly different in response to liver extract and to a mixture of amino acids that simulated the free amino acid content of liver extract.

Protamex was selected to prepare the hydrolysate. E-tongue, free amino acid combined with soluble peptide analysis were used to detect the flavor changes of Aloididae aloidi during enzymolysis. Degree of proteolysis increased with the prolongation of enzymolysis time, and reached the maximum value at 8 hours. The content of soluble peptide of hydrolysate increased firstly and then decreased in the later process. The E-tongue could effectively distinguish the taste difference of hydrolysates at different enzymolysis time, and the hydrolysate presented strong bitterness and astringency during the whole enzymolysis. The total amount of free amino acids in the hydrolysate increased gradually, and some sweet, umami and bitter amino acids increased in varying degrees during the process of enzymolysis.

Free amino acids in cacao beans are important precursors to the aroma and flavor of chocolate. In this research, we used inferential and explanatory statistical techniques to verify the effect of different edaphic crop conditions on the free amino acid profile of PH-16 dry cacao beans. The decreasing order of free amino acids in PH-16 dry cacao beans is leucine, phenylalanine, glutamic acid, alanine, asparagine, tyrosine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, valine, isoleucine, glutamine, lysine, aspartic acid, serine, tryptophan, threonine, glycine. With the exception of lysine, no other free amino acid showed a significant difference between means of different edaphic conditions under the ANOVA F-test. The hydrophobic free amino acids provided the largest contribution to the explained variance with 58.01% of the first dimension of the principal component analysis. Glutamic acid stands out in the second dimension with 13.09%. Due to the stability of the biochemical profile of free amino acids in this clonal variety, it is recommended that cacao producers consider the genotype as the primary source of variation in the quality of cacao beans and ultimately the chocolate to be produced.

1. Non-protein and protein nitrogen fractions of the isopod Sphaeroma rugicauda were measured in animals adapted to 100 and 2% sea water. 2. The non-protein nitrogen component was reduced in animals acclimatized to the lower salinity. 3. Free amino acids accounted for 88 and 74% respectively of the non-protein nitrogen in the two salinities. 4. In 2% sea water taurine, proline, glycine, alanine and glutamic acid showed the greatest decreases in concentration compared to the levels measured in animals adapted to 100% sea water. 5. The decrease in total free amino acids of animals acclimatized to 100% sea water and transferred to 2% sea water was measured. 6. The total free amino acid concentration is reduced to the 2% sea water level within 12 hr. after transfer. 7. Free amino acid, haemolymph sodium and total body sodium levels after transfer to 2% sea water were compared. 8. The asymmetry between the fall in haemolymph sodium concentration and the decrease in total body sodium under these conditions is thought to be due to a water shift from the haemolymph into the tissues. 9. It is suggested that the osmotic pressure of the cells falls at a slower rate than that of the haemolymph.

Abstract Peanuts from a commercial source were segregated into specific seed sizes and placed in storage conditions approximating commercial conditions to determine the amino acid changes taking place during storage within various size seeds. Concentrations of the isolated free amino acid fractions significantly decreased with seed size except for phenylalanine which significantly increased with seed size. Significant changes also occurred in the free amino acid fractions across storage periods up to nine months in duration. These results are the first to document a change in amino acids during the storage of peanuts.

SUMMARY Changes in the concentrations of free amino acids in intracellular fluids and blood plasma were measured in rats treated with cortisol. Increasing age raised the concentrations of free amino acids in plasma, while in liver, with the exception of glycine and alanine, decreased concentrations were observed. Cortisol treatment reduced free amino acid levels in plasma and liver which suggested a progressive catabolism of body proteins and increased protein synthesis in the liver. In skeletal muscle of control rats the free amino acid concentrations increased during the experimental period. Cortisol increased the concentration of certain amino acids and decreased that of others due to an increased protein turnover in muscle.
