The study found that the mechanism of enzyme protein denaturation induced by high pressure freezing is complex, with Pressure-Factors playing a dominant role in the denaturation process, while Freezing-Factors can weaken the effect of Pressure-Factors, leading to the enzyme being transformed into a partially folded intermediate state.
The mechanism of enzyme protein denaturation induced by high pressure freezing is complicated and unclear as this process involves Pressure-Factors (pressure and time) and Freezing-Factors (temperature, phase transition, recrystallization, and ice crystal types). In this study, the thermodynamics and conformation changes of mushroom polyphenol oxidase (PPO) under high pressure freezing treatments (HPF, P-100,150,200,300,400,500MPa(20 degrees C/30min)) and high pressure processes (HPP) followed with normal pressure immersion freezing (HPP-IF, P-100500MPa(25 degrees C/30min) - P-0.1MPa(-20 degrees C/30min)) are investigated as compared with that processed under high pressure processes (HPP, P-100-500MPa(25 degrees C/30min)) and normal pressure immersion freezing process (IF, P-0.1MPa(-20 degrees C/30min)). The results suggested that the treated PPO with the same enzyme activity may have various thermodynamic characteristics and conformations; Pressure-Factors play the main roles in the denaturation of the PPO during the HPF treatment, and Freezing-Factors can weak the effect of Pressure-Factors on PPO denaturation; The treated PPO may be transferred into a partially fold intermediate state.

Effects of high-pressure freezing and deep-frozen storage on cell structure and quality of cordyceps sinensis

Dongmei Li, Zhiwei Zhu, Da-Wen Sun

Summary: The effects of high-pressure freezing and deep-frozen storage at -80 degrees C on Cordyceps sinensis (CS) samples were investigated and compared with other freezing methods. The study found that liquid nitrogen freezing combined with deep-frozen storage caused minimal damage to cell integrity and viability, while high-pressure shift freezing combined with deep-frozen storage resulted in the slowest deterioration of these attributes. The findings suggest that liquid nitrogen freezing combined with deep-frozen storage is the best method for freezing CS samples, while high-pressure shift freezing combined with deep-frozen storage may be a better option for long-term preservation of highly perishable fresh products with a cellular structure.

Mechanism of aroma enhancement methods in accelerating Congou black tea acidification subjected to room temperature storage

Zixuan Xie, De Zhang, Junyu Zhu, Qianqian Luo, Jun Liu, Jingtao Zhou, Xiaoyong Wang, Yuqiong Chen, Zhi Yu, Dejiang Ni

Summary: This study investigated the acidification of aroma-enhanced black tea during storage. Analysis of non-volatile substances and organic acids using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and HPLC revealed a decrease in soluble sugars and amino acids, while an increase in organic acids such as oxalic acid, malic acid, and quinic acid. In vitro experiments further demonstrated that the acidification is a result of the decomposition of sugars and amino acids by heating, as well as the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes. Additionally, the study showed that the taste composition of tea infusion is altered, with reduced amino acids, catechins, soluble sugars, and flavonoids. This research provides a theoretical basis for improving the quality of black tea.
