    Vitamin menaquinone-4 (MK-4) is widely used in dietary supplements and pharmaceutical therapies in the food, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries. To get a high MK-4 yield strain, the homeostasis of cell membrane was systematically analyzed and optimized. Firstly, the integrity-related genes of the cell membrane were integrated and analyzed in the original strain Bacillus subtilis BC04, indicating that the membrane protein-related gene srfAD had an important influence on the accumulation of MK-4. Then, the genes related to fluidity and permeability were analyzed, suggesting that ypkP and fadR played a significant role in the accumulation of MK-4. The optimal strain was identified as BF14 by combinatorial optimization, including integration of gene srfAD and ypkP, and knockout of the gene fadR. The yield of BF14 reached (213.80±2.16) mg/L after shake-flask fermentation at 40 ℃ for 7 days, an increase by 19.51% compared with that before optimization. Based on the above results, the fermentation conditions were optimized in a 3L fermenter, and a batch fermentation process was determined with initial glucose concentration of 10 g/L and feeding to maintain glucose concentration of 4-10 g/L. The final MK-4 yield reached (249.65±2.34) mg/L, an increase by 16.77% compared with the level of shaking flask, and the production intensity was 2.08 mg/(L·h). The results showed that optimizing the cell membrane homeostasis of B. subtilis could effectively improve the MK-4 yield, and could lay a foundation for further improving the fermentation performance of MK-4 at the industrial level.

    α-Amyrin, lupeol and germanicol are important pentacyclic triterpenoids, with excellent anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-virus activities and properties. To construct cell factories for the production of pentacyclic triterpenoids, genes encoding Catharanthus roseus α-amyrin synthase (CrαAS), Glycyrrhiza glabra lupeol synthase (GgLUS) and Bauhinia forficata germanicol synthase (BfGES) were separately integrated into the Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, resulting in engineered strains S01, S02, and S03. After 48 h of fermentation in YPG medium, 50.7 mg/L α-amyrin, 45.8 mg/L lupeol and 17.6 mg/L germanicol were achieved with strain S01, S02, and S03, respectively. This demonstrated the successful construction of the S. cerevisiae cell factories for pentacyclic triterpenoids production. To increase the supply of precursor 2,3-oxidosqualene, the squalene epoxidase (ERG1), a key enzyme in the mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway, was further overexpressed in strains S01, S02, and S03. With the resulting recombinant strains S04, S05 and S06, the yield of α-amyrin, lupeol and germanicol increased to 96.3, 91.6, and 38.7 mg/L, respectively. Therefore, this study constructed triterpenoid-producing platforms, which provided a theoretical and technical basis for the construction of S.cerevisiae pentacyclic triterpenoid acids cell factories with potential for industrial applications.

    Brevibacillus choshinensis is a potentially efficient expression system, however, the lack of efficient strong promoters severely limits the application of this expression system. To provide more new efficient strong promoters for B. choshinensis expression system, firstly, the transcriptome data of B. choshinensis was obtained by RNA-Seq technology. Then, based on the transcription level and function of the genes, the highly expressed target genes were screened. Based on the promoter sequences of selected target genes, a strong promoter screening library was constructed using α-amylase as the reporter protein. After shake flask fermentation of recombinant strains with different promoters, the endogenous strong promoters PE and PF were obtained using extracellular α-amylase activity as the screening index. The extracellular α-amylase activities of recombinant strains BCWES and BCWFS, mediated by promoter PE and PF respectively, were 2.3 and 1.3-fold greater than that of the control strain BCWPS, which was mediated by the well-characterized promoter P2. Finally, sucrose isomerase and cutinase were used as new reporter proteins to prove the universality of the PE promoter, and the ability of BCWES to efficiently produce α-amylase was further confirmed in 3 L fermenter fermentation. This study enriched the number of strong promoters available for B. choshinensis expression system, and promoted the development and application of B. choshinensis as a new efficient expression system.

    γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) can catalyze bitter amino acid into its derivative and reduce the bitterness of foods, thus showing great potential for the application in food industry. To enhance GGT production, a robust high-throughput screening process for isolating GGT high-producers was developed based on a colorimetric reaction among NH+4, O-phthalaldehyde (OPA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Random mutations on the seven bases located in the upstream of the -10 region of promoter HpaII were introduced by error-prone PCR. A mutant promoter EF3HpaII was isolated and identified as the most efficient for GGT production, which increased GGT production by 63% compared to that of the original promoter. Subsequently, from an RBS library, a suitable RBS362 was selected to co-regulate the expression of ggt gene with promoter EF3HpaII and the activity of GGT reached 60.25 U/mL, which was 2.02 times higher than that of the original strain. The obtained GGT was further utilized for transformation of L-phenylalanine(L-Phe) to γ-glutamylphenylalanine(γ-Glu-Phe). Under optimal conditions, the highest yield of γ-Glu-Phe reached 94 % with a reaction mixture of 50 mmol/L L-glutamine (L-Gln), 200 mmol/L L-Phe and 1 U/mL GGT at 35 °C and pH 10.0.

    Prokaryotic source L-aspartate-α-decarboxylase has low activity, which is the main factor restricting the biosynthesis of β-alanine. In this study, we shifted our attention from prokaryotic sources to eukaryotic sources, and aimed to find higher catalytically active enzymes. We obtained cysteine sulfinic decarboxylase from Aedes aegypti through gene synthesis, and added the sumo tag to achieve high-efficiency expression in Escherichia coli. The results of enzymatic characterization experiments showed that the recombinant enzyme could catalyze L-aspartic acid to produce β-alanine, the specific enzyme activity was (5.60±0.074) U/mg, after adding the sumo tag, the specific enzyme activity was (5.80±0.129) U/mg. The optimal reaction conditions were 40 ℃ and pH 6.0. The stability of the tagged enzyme was significantly better than that of the wild type. The enzyme activity still retained 40% after treatment at 50 ℃ for 30 min, and the enzyme activity remained at about 80% between pH 5.0-8.0. The cysteine sulfinic decarboxylase was coupled with L-aspartic acid lyase of E. coli to realize the one-step conversion from fumaric acid to aspartic acid, and the molar conversion rate of the product reached 93.03%. In this study, cysteine sulfinic decarboxylase had high catalytic activity for L-aspartic acid, which provided technical reference and theoretical support for the industrial production of β-alanine.

    To explore the effect of water activity (Aw) on the carbon metabolism of Hafnia alvei from lightly salted Larimichthys crocea, the carbon source utilization of the strain was measured by Biolog GEN Ⅲ microplate under different Aw (0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 0.95, 0.96, 0.97, 0.98) at 25 ℃. The modified Gompertz model was used to fit the metabolic curve and obtain the kinetic parameters. And combining the average well color development (AWCD) and the utilization area, the utilization effect and dynamic characteristics of carbon source under different Aw were explored. The results showed that for H. alvei, the average utilization rate of carboxylic acids (37.3%) and amino acids (32.6%) was higher under different Aw (0.92-0.98). The overall carbon source utilization capacity was the strongest at Aw of 0.98, followed by 0.96. And the remaining group from strong to weak was 0.95, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94 and 0.97. The dominant single carbon sources for the growth of H. alvei were mainly L-fucose, D-fucose, L-rhamnose, D-glucuronic acid, acetoacetic acid, acetic acid, D-serine, L-alanine, L-aspartic acid, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, L-histidine, D-glucose-6-PO4 and D-fructose-6-PO4 at Aw of 0.92-0.98. With the increase of Aw, the maximum specific growth rate (μmax) and lag phase duration (λ) of the carbon source utilization of H. alvei showed the trend of increasing and decreasing respectively. Through regulating the carbon source of substrate and environmental factors, the carbon source utilization and growth dynamics of H. alvei from the lightly salted L. crocea were explored, which could provide certain support for targeting bacteriostasis and process optimization of L. crocea.

    An analytical method was established for detecting three antioxidants (Irganox1076, Irgafos168 and 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol) in PET/LDPE composite film using liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The migration behavior of three antioxidants in PET/LDPE composite film to isooctane and 95% ethanol was studied and Crank model was used to calculates the migration diffusion coefficient. The results showed that the detection limits of the three antioxidants detected by LC/MS-MS were all 0.2 μg/L, and the quantification limits were all less than or equal to 0.8 μg/L. The linearity was good in the concentration range of 5-240 μg/L with the correlation coefficients greater than 0.998. The migration amount of three antioxidants increased with increasing temperature and time until reaching migration equilibrium at 20-70 ℃. And the higher the temperature was, the faster the equilibrium state would be reached. The Crank model fitted the migration experimental data well, and the relationship between the migration diffusion coefficients of three antioxidants and the temperature conformed to the Arrhenius formula. Under the conditions of 70 ℃ for 2 hours and 40 ℃ for 72 hours, the migration ratio of three antioxidants from LDPE film and PET/LDPE composite film to two food simulants were not significantly different (P>0.05). It was indicated that the PET film had no significant effect on the migration of the three antioxidants in the LDPE film under specific migration conditions.

    To explore a simple and low-cost packaging method in low-temperature storage and transportation process, this paper studied the effects of three different packaging methods including film packaging, foam box packaging and film foam box composite packaging on cucumber chilling injury under low-temperature storage. The results showed that compared with the control group, all packaging groups could effectively reduce chilling injury of cucumbers during cold storage. Compared with film packaging, foam box packaging and film foam box composite packaging could more effectively inhibit the increase of cucumber respiration and inhibit the decrease of cucumber hardness and the increase of weight loss rate in cucumbers. The effect of a foam box was better due to the cucumber gradually cool down. Moreover, compared with the instant low temperature, gradual cooling could more effectively inhibit the increase of relative electrical conductivity of cucumber, accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the production of superoxide anion (·O-2). And it could also effectively increase the activities of antioxidant enzymes, catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and proline content. These could reduce the chilling injury of cucumber by reducing the oxidation damage of cucumber membrane lipids and maintaining the higher antioxidant activity of cucumber. In summary, both the foam box packaging and the film foam box composite packaging treatment can more effectively inhibit the occurrence of cucumber chilling damage and improve the preservation quality. Among which, the foam box packaging is lower in cost and is recommended to carry out packaging treatment.

    Dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) with heme as a prosthetic group is regarded as a novel type of peroxidase subfamily. DyP has become a hot research topic of green economy because of its ability to degrade anthraquinone dyes. Since the effective degradation of dyes is closely related to enzyme activity, it is important to seek the ways of improving enzyme activity for the subsequent production and application of DyP. DypB gene from Rhodococcus jostii (RhDypB) was cloned to realize high-efficiency expression in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), and to study methods for improving the enzyme activity. Recombinant strain BL21(DE3)/pET24b-DypB was constructed by one-step cloning technology. The recombinant protein was expressed by IPTG induction and purified by affinity chromatography using a nickel column. The effect on the activity of RhDypB by exogenous addition of heme synthesis precursor 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and co-expression of the glutamyl-tRNA reductase gene (hemA) in the heme synthesis pathway in E. coli was compared. SDS-PAGE showed that there was an obvious target band at 40 kDa (purity-90%), and the concentration of protein was 100 mg/L. The addition of 5-ALA and co-expression of hemA increased the concentration of heme to 8.9 and 2.4 μmol/L, and the corresponding activity of enzyme was increased by 102% and 93%, respectively. The soluble expression of RhDypB and the increase in content of heme provide a basis for related research on peroxidase with heme as a cofactor.

    To study the hydroxyl radical oxidation (HRO) effects on properties and structure of the walnut protein, the alkali extraction-acid precipitation method was implemented to extract WP, and then oxidized with hydroxyl radical generated by Fe / H2O2/ Asc system. Various patterns of carbonyl, thiol, endogenesis fluorescence, particle size, and functional properties of WP with different degrees of oxidation were studied. The results showed that the solubility, free thiol, and endogenesis fluorescence intensity were decreased with the increase of H2O2 concentration, and the largest drop was 45.6%, 28.2%, and 34.8%, respectively. The water holding capacity (WHC), mean particle size, and carbonyl content of WP were increased with the H2O2 concentration, and reached 136.6%, 12.7% and 88.9%, respectively. The emulsifying activity index (EAI), emulsifying stability index (ESI), foaming property (FP), and oil holding capacity (OHC) were first increased and then decreased, and the maximum was 108.8%, 53.4%, 42.6%, and 146.0%, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed a tight structure of WP with low concentration oxidation (0.1 mmol/L), while the morphology became loose and the porosity increased with high concentration oxidation (15 mmol/L). Taken together, hydrogen peroxide oxidation has a large effect on the functional properties and structure of WP, and better emulsifying and foaming property could be obtained by low concentration oxidation.

The total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT) activities, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were determined by the colorimetric assay. The expressions of P53, P21, Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-related protein-1(Keap1), nuclear factor E2-related factor (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase 1(HO-1) proteins, and the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (AKT), extracellular regulatory protein kinase1/2 (ERK1/2), P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P38) and c-jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) were detected with the western blotting method. Compared with the model group, the survival rate was increased, the positive staining of SA-β-gal was decreased; T-AOC, SOD, GSH-Px and CAT activities were increased, and MDA content was decreased in Gen groups. Meanwhile, Gen down-regulated the Keap1 protein expression and up-regulated the Nrf2 and HO-1 protein expressions. Gen also increased the expressions of P53, P21 proteins, elevated the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT proteins, and reduced the phosphorylation of ERK, P38 and JNK proteins. Gen could delay the cell senescence and improve the antioxidant capacity in H9c2 cells. The mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of Nrf2 through PI3K/AKT and MAPKs signaling pathways.

    To improve the biological activities, ultrasound-assisted H2O2-vitamin C and H2O2-Fe2+ methods were used to degrade the polysaccharides from Codium cylindricum. The physicochemical properties of polysaccharides were determined and the monosaccharide composition, surface conformation and glycosidic bond configuration were analyzed. The physicochemical properties determination indicated that the solubility of polysaccharides was significantly improved after degradation, and the particle size and Zeta potential had been found to decrease. The results of LC-MS, AFM and NMR showed that the degraded polysaccharides were composed of the same monosaccharide units and glycosidic bond configuration with Codium cylindricum polysaccharides. Meanwhile, the surface structure had been changed after degradation. The results of in vitro hypoglycemic activity determination demonstrated that polysaccharides from Codium cylindricum had moderate inhibitory activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, and the activities were enhanced after degradation. The obtained results could provide a theoretical foundation for the application of Codium cylindricum degraded polysaccharides.

    Ensuring enough fat intake and controlling energy intake by inducing its satietogenic effect will provide a new idea for designing and developing weight management dietary products. In this paper, emulsions with different interfacial compositions were constructed through layer-by-layer electrostatic deposition with whey protein isolate (WPI), pectin (PC), sodium alginate (ALG) and chitosan (CS). The influences of interfacial composition on their physicochemical indexes were studied, including particle size and Zeta potential. Through three consecutive stages of in vitro simulated digestion, the phase separation phenomenon in the gastric digestion phase was used to evaluate the acid stability of emulsions, and the amount of released free fatty acids in the intestinal digestion phase was monitored to evaluate the rate and extent of lipid digestion. The results showed that secondary emulsions only encapsulated by ALG and CS had poor stability in the gastric environment. While secondary emulsion which was encapsulated by PC had good creaming stability. Besides, tertiary emulsion formed by adsorbing CS on the interface could further delay the digestion rate of lipid in the small intestine. In conclusion, the tertiary emulsion is suitable for being used in weight management functional foods.

    Cysteine is an important amino acid with active sulfhydryl group, which plays vital role in cellular physiological functions. In this study, to improve the L-cysteine production of the Escherichia coli MCYS-7, optimization of the culture medium was firstly performed by response surface methodology in flask fermentation. With a exogenous addition of betaine, amino acids and other chemicals, the fermentation process optimization and scale-up were carried out in 2 L bioreactors. The optimum culture medium was determined to be glucose (42.69 g/L), ammonium sulfate (7.77 g/L), yeast powder (6.53 g/L), sodium thiosulfate (6.22 g/L). In the flask fermentation after medium optimization, the titer of L-cysteine was significant improved to 3.85 g/L, which was increased by 169% compared with that before optimization. The scale-up results in the 2 L bioreactors revealed that, with the addition of exogenous chemical, the titer for L-cysteine production could reach 10.25 g/L after 47 h of fermentation. Our results laid a foundation for the L-cysteine production through microbial fermentation in industrial scale.

    The aim of this study was to explore the effect of passive modified atmosphere packaging on the active oxygen scavenging system of postharvest sweet cherry. The sweet cherry was treated with different passive modified atmosphere packaging. The non-enzymatic system metabolites ascorbic acid, total anthocyanins, total phenols, total flavonoids and the key enzymes of the enzymatic system peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase enzyme activities were measured as indicators. The results showed that, compared with the control group, different passive modified atmosphere packages could inhibit the decrease of ascorbic acid content. And it could also maintain a higher level of total anthocyanin content(P<0.05) and significantly promote the production of total phenols and total flavonoids (P<0.05). Moreover, passive modified atmosphere packages inhibited the decrease of POD enzyme activity and maintained APX enzyme activity at a high level. The increase of SOD enzyme activity was also induced, and the storage period of sweet cherry was effectively extended. In general, the P2 group (40 μm polyethylene packaging) could most effectively promote the production of antioxidants in the non-enzymatic system and induce the enhancement of key enzyme activities in the enzymatic system. Besides, P2 group also could improve the antioxidant capacity of sweet cherries and delay the senescence process of postharvest sweet cherries.

    Sous vide cooking (SV) has the advantages of improving meat quality, reducing nutrient loss, and extending shelf life. However, whether this technology can replace traditional fried steak is unclear. In this paper, the effect of conventional frying and two-stage SV on beef quality was studied by analyzing the cooking loss, shearing force, color, volatile flavor substances, and steak′s electronic nose. The results showed that the two-stage SV beef was better than traditional fried beef in cooking loss, shear force, and redness. However, classic fried steak had better brightness. Traditional fried beef had 43 characteristic flavor compounds, 28 characteristic flavor compounds of fried beef after sous vide cooking, and 37 characteristic flavor compounds of sous vide beef after frying. The electronic nose analysis showed that the two SV methods had similar beef flavors but were different from traditional fried beef. This research could provide a reference for the industrialized production of steak.

    Eight marker peptides in meat were identified and quantitatively determined by ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry,and the effects of chromatographic separation conditions and mass spectrometry parameters on the determination of marker peptides in meat were investigated. The samples were separated by a C18 column, and gradient elution was performed with 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile (containing 0.1% formic acid) as mobile phase. Then, the electrospray positive ion mode (ESI+) was used to detect the marker peptides, and quantitative analysis and data collection were performed by pseudo-multiple reaction monitoring by time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MRM). Results showed that the parent ions of the targeted marker peptides had a 2+ or 3+ charge, which showed high signal intensity and good stability. And the fragment ions of each marker peptide in the mass spectrometry was mainly y ion. Moreover, the fragment ions with 3+ charge were accompanied by the formation of 2+ charges. The TOF-MRM acquisition mode and target enhancement increased the detection sensitivity of target ions. Under the optimized conditions, the separation of 8 marker peptides was good and the mass signals were strong. There was a good linear relationship between the concentration of 8 marker peptides standards and detection response, and the correlation coefficients were greater than 0.98. The limit of detection (LOD) for analysts was in the range of 0.19 - 1.50 μg/L, and the optimized TOF-MRM method was successfully applied to the analysis of marker peptides in meat samples due to the high accuracy, precision and repeatability. The application of marker peptides on 7 class beef meatball products showed that five marker peptides could be detected including 2 beef, 1 pork and 2 chicken meat, which indicated that cheaper chicken or pork was spiked in beef meatball samples. The abundance of marker peptides had no correlation with the price. However, no duck-specific marker peptides were found. The established species-specific peptide detection method provided powerful technical support for the identification of protein species origin.

    The research progress in degradation of mycotoxins in cereals, fruits, vegetables, nuts and condiments with ozone was reviewed in this paper. Besides, rules and the related mechanisms of mycotoxin degradation with ozone were also expounded. The degradation effects of mycotoxins varied significantly with the types of mycotoxins. During ozone fumigation, the double bonds in mycotoxin molecules were oxidized. As a result, the toxicity of degradation products was significantly lower than that of the corresponding mycotoxins. Meanwhile, microbial growth can also be inactivated, thus improving food quality. Furthermore, the main influencing factors of mycotoxin degradation with ozone were also reviewed. The factors that significantly affect the degradation effects of mycotoxins with ozone include the contact area of ozone with food materials, food moisture, ozone concentration, ozone fumigation time and the environmental condition. Through the above review, we aimed to provide theoretical foundation for the application of ozone on mycotoxin degradation.
