Abstract

This study demonstrated the interaction mechanism of collagen peptides (CPs) with 4-ethylphenol (4-EP), phenol, guaiacol, and 4-ethylguaiacol (4-EG) in the ethanol-water solution. The ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, zeta potential tests and hydrogen nuclear magnetic spectroscopy manifested that CPs interacted with the phenolic compounds. Meanwhile, Isothermal titration calorimetry determination indicated that the CPs was hydrogen bonded with 4-EP in 52 %(v/v) ethanol-water solution, while the hydrophobic forces played a major role in the interaction of CPs with guaiacol and 4-EG, respectively. Moreover, hydrogen and hydrophobic bonds were involved in the interaction between CPs and phenol. Finally, Head Space-solid Phase Microextraction Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry analysis indicated that the content of phenolic compounds in model solution efficiently decreased with the presence of CPs. In the real liquor, it was found that the content of volatile compounds (including phenolic compounds) was obviously decreased after CPs added.

1 Introduction

Chinese liquor (baijiu) is distilled from the solid fermentation of wheat, sorghum, corn, rice, and glutinous rice, and the history of it dated back to 2000 years ago [1]. According to the geographical division of raw materials, different starters and brewing technologies, Chinese liquor could be classified into strong-aroma types, sauce-aroma types, light-aroma types, rice-aroma types, te-aroma types, feng-aroma types, herbal-aroma types, mixed-aroma types, chi-aroma types, fuyu-aroma types, sesame-aroma types, and laobaigan-aroma types [2, 3].

The flavor and taste of baijiu are substantially determined by its trace chemical components [4]. Over the past few decades, with the development of detection technology, many volatile and nonvolatile components have been distinguished in baijiu [5]. Phenolic compounds were observed to remarkable affect the flavor and taste of baijiu. These phenolic compounds generally originated from the secondary metabolites of the raw materials (such as wheat or sorghum) in the fermentation process [6]. As reported in the literatures, phenolic compounds are commonly unpleasant and considered as an off flavor in baijiu, of which 4-ethylphenol (4-EP), phenol, and 4-ethylguaiacol (4-EG) often manifest medicinal, horsy, and smoky odors [7,8,9,10]. In addition, the phenolic compounds interact with oral saliva protein, resulting an unpleasant feeling of astringent [11]. Therefore, reducing the unpleasant flavor and taste of baijiu caused by phenolic compounds is important.

Phenolic compounds can interact with proteins or peptides, leading to the formation of soluble and/or insoluble complexes, which may improve the flavor and taste of baijiu [12,13,14]. The content of phenolic compounds in baijiu was obviously inhibited by lichenin, and the peptide of Ala-Lys-Arg-Ala could interact with phenolic compounds [15, 16]. Accordingly, peptides should be an effective agent to reduce the negative feeling of phenolic compounds. However, the interaction mechanism of peptides with phenolic compounds is unclear in the baijiu system, leading to hesitance in the application of this approach. The binding between peptides and phenolic compounds is believed to be reversible and usually by non-covalent bonds, such as hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic forces, van der Waals forces, and/or electrostatic forces [17]. However, the interaction mechanism may considerably differ among phenolic compounds and peptides [18].

Collagen peptides (CPs) are the hydrolysate of collagen that is extracted from animal skin, and they have the structure feature of Gly-X-Y repeated sequences of amino acids, in which X and Y are often proline and hydroxyproline [19]. CPs is a natural and renewable biological macromolecule with a variety of nutritional functions and physiological properties. Besides, CPs contains -NH2, -COOH and -OH groups, which can interact with aldehydes and phenolic compounds in baijiu [17]. In the present study, the interaction mechanism between CPs and 4-EP, phenol, guaiacol, and 4-EG was investigated in the model liquor (52 % ethanol-water solution) by using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, zeta potential, hydrogen nuclear magnetic spectroscopy (1 H NMR), and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The content of phenolic compounds in 52 % (v/v) ethanol-water solution was determined using Head Space-solid Phase Microextraction Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) at different dosages of CPs. In the real liquor, HS-SPME-GC-MS also was employed to determine the effect of CPs on volatile compounds in the light-flavor types baijiu.

2 Materials and methods

2.1 Material

CPs, a molecular weight of approximately 3000 Da, was prepared by enzymatic degradation of collagen I with the method developed in our previous work [20]. Briefly, gelatin of food grade was first dissolved in distilled water, and its concentration was controlled about 10 % (w/v). Then, this gelatin solution was hydrolyzed by Alcalase enzyme for 6 h at 45 ℃. Guaiacol (˃98.0 %, GC grade), 4-EP (˃97.0 %, GC grade), and 4-EG (˃98 %, GC grade) were purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry (Shanghai, China), and phenol (≥ 98 %, GC grade) was obtained from Aladdin (Shanghai, China). Ethanol (99.9 %, HPLC grade) was purchased from Chron Chemical Co, Ltd (Chengdu, China). DMSO-d6 was purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). Light-flavor types baijiu was puchased from Zuixiantan Liquor Co., Ltd.( Sichuan, China).

2.2 UV-Vis measurements

The UV-Vis spectra of CPs, four phenolic compounds, and their mixtures in 52 % ethanol-water solution were recorded using UV-1800 BPC spectrophotometer (Mapada, Shanghai, China) in the wavelength range of 190–350 nm. [21].

2.3 Zeta potential determination

The zeta potential of CPs in 52 % ethanol-water solution with and without 4-EP, phenol, guaiacol, and 4-EG were measured by the zeta instrument (Nano Brook Omni, Brookhaven, USA) [22].

2.4 1H NMR spectroscopy analysis

1H NMR measurements were performed on Bruker Avance AV II-600 MHz spectroscopy (Bruker, Inc., Sweden). 4-EP, phenol, guaiacol, and 4-EG were prepared in DMSO-d6 with a concentration of 300 mmol/L. The molar ratio of CPs to 4-EP, phenol, and guaiacol were set as 1:300, while that to 4-EG was set as 1:100. The 1H NMR spectra of the phenolic compounds after being mixed with CPs were recorded and determined as a control [16].

2.5 ITC detection

ITC (MicroCal iTC200, Malvern, UK) detections were conducted to determine the affinity constants and thermodynamic parameters of the interaction between CPs and phenolic compounds. All reagents (CPs and phenolic compounds) were dissolved in 52 % ethanol-water solution and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 30 min. The CPs solution was titrated into the sample cell of 4-EP, phenol, guaiacol, and 4-EG as a sequence of 20 injections of 2 µL aliquots at 30 ℃, and the integrated binding thermograms were obtained on Origin software equipped with the instrument [23, 24].

2.6 Solid-phase microextraction (SPME)

Ethanol-water solution (52 % V/V) was prepared as a simulated baijiu sample. 4-EP, phenol, guaiacol, and 4-EG were dissolved in this solution, and their concentrations were 1.28, 0.38, 0.38, and 1.54 mg/L, respectively. Then, a CPs solution was respectively added to model solution containing phenolic compounds and light-flavor types baijiu (real liquor), and attained the desired CPs concentrations of 0.00, 2.00, 20.00, and 200.00 mg/L, respectively [15].

For SPME, an automatic headspace sampling system with a 75 μm CAR/PDMS fiber (Supelco, Inc., Bellefonte, PA, USA) was used for analyte solution. Eight mL of the sample with 10 µL internal standard (methyl n-octanoate, 75.00 mg/L in ethanol) was placed into a 20 mL headspace bottle. The sample was equilibrated at 35 °C for 10 min, and the extraction of volatile components was performed for 45 min at the same temperature under stirring (500 rpm). The experiment was repeated three times in each sample [16].

2.7 Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis

GC-MS analysis was performed on a TRACE 1300 gas chromatograph equipped with a TSQ 9000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, UK). The fused silica capillaries (VF-WAXms 30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was employed as separation column, and helium was used as the carrier gas with flow rate of 5 mL/min. For the GC conditions, the injector temperature was maintained at 270 °C. The oven temperature was started at 40 °C, held for 5 min, and then raised to 100 °C at 4 °C/min. It was further increased to 230 °C at 6 °C/min and held for 10 min. For the MS conditions, electron ionization mode was used with 70 eV ionization energy. The ion-source and transfer line temperature were set as 300, and 250 °C, respectively. The scanning range was m/z 35–400.

2.8 Statistics

All measurements were repeated at least three times. The results presented in the tables were expressed as means ± standard deviation. The significance of differences was determined using one-way ANOVA, and the level of significance was P < 0.05.

3 Results and discussion

3.1 The Interaction between CPs and phenolic compounds in the ethanol-water solution

3.1.1 UV-Vis spectroscopy measurements

The effect of CPs on the absorption spectra of 4-EP, phenol, guaiacol, and 4-EG was recorded by UV-vis spectroscopy, as shown in Fig. 1. The CPs generally exhibited only one absorption peak near 200 nm, which represented the change in CPs backbone [25, 26]. Meanwhile, three absorption peaks in 4-EP, phenol, guaiacol, and 4-EG, respectively. The peaks around 200 and 220 nm could be attributed to the π-π* transitions of C = C of the benzene ring, while the peaks around 280 nm corresponded to the π-π* transitions of the benzene ring [27]. When 4-EG interacted with CPs, the absorption peak around 200 nm was redshifted, while the peak around 220 nm was almost disappeared. The change of the absorption peaks of CPs & phenol, CPs & guaiacol, CPs & 4-EG in model solution were similar to that of CPs & 4-EP. Therefore, the CPs definitely combined with phenolic compounds. However, the absorption peaks of phenolic compounds around 280 nm were almost unchanged, suggesting that the CPs have no effect on the π-π* transitions of the benzene ring.

The interaction forces between protein and small molecule include hydrogen bond, van der Waals force, hydrophobic force, and electrostatic force [28]. According to previous researches, CPs could form a complex with phenolic compounds by hydrophobic bonds due to their hydrophobicity [29]. Likewise, CPs and phenolic compounds could be combined by hydrogen bonds through phenolic hydroxyls [17].

3.1.2 Zeta-potential measurement

The surface of CPs carries charges due to its polar and nonpolar groups, such as –NH3+ and –COO− [30, 31]. The zeta potential could provide information about the surface charge of CPs. Moreover, the absolute value of the zeta potential (A-ZP) of protein was correlated to its hydrophobicity [32].

The zeta potential of the CPs system after adding different concentrations of phenolic compounds was measured. As shown in Fig. 2a and d, the A-ZP of CPs decreased when a low concentration of phenolic compounds was added. However, the A-ZP increased with the increase of the phenolic compounds concentration. The decrease in A-ZP indicated that a complex was formed between CPs and phenolic compounds, and this finding was similar with the result of Pdziwiatr-Werbicka et al. [33]. When the concentration of phenolic compounds was continued to be increased, the interaction with CPs tended to be saturated [34]. Further increasing the concentration gradually increased the A-ZP because the phenolic compounds were negatively charged due to the release of proton [35]. The results of zeta potential determination further indicated that CPs could bond with phenolic compounds.

3.2 1H NMR analysis

The 1H NMR spectra of four phenolic compounds before and after interacting with CPs are presented in Fig. 3. The hydrogen peaks of the phenolic hydroxyl of these compounds almost disappeared after CPs interaction, suggesting the possibility that hydrogen bonds were formed between phenolic compounds and CPs. However, the hydrogen bond forming ability in CPs considerably differ among these four phenolic compounds. For the CPs & 4-EP (Fig. 3(a)), comparing the 1H NMR spectrum of the 4-EP to the 4-EP in the presence of CPs, the chemical shift corresponding to the proton of phenolic hydroxyl moved from 9.11 to 9.12 ppm. It is an obvious change according literature [36]. For the phenol (Fig. 3(b)), the addition of CPs made the chemical shift of proton in the phenol hydroxyl group moved from 9.35 to 9.34 ppm. These facts suggested that 4-EP and phenol should be interacted with CPs through hydrogen bonds. However, for the guaiacol (Fig. 3(c)) and 4-EG (Fig. 3(d)), there is no significant change in the chemical shift of proton after CPs added. Combined with the UV-vis analysis results (Fig. 1), it is reasonable to believe that guaiacol and 4-EG should be interacted with CPs by the hydrophobic bonds.

As shown in the molecular structure, the phenolic hydroxyl of 4-EP was located at the para of the substituent group, and no substituent group was found for phenol. Meanwhile, the phenolic hydroxyls of guaiacol and 4-EG were located at the ortho of the substituent group, and intramolecular hydrogen bonds may be formed [37], resulting in signal reduction and the broadening of the hydrogen of phenolic hydroxyl. Therefore, 4-EP and phenol could easily to form hydrogen bonds with CPs. However, organic solvents, especially ethanol, could inhibit the interaction between CPs and phenolic compounds, and the hydrogen bonds are easily destroyed compared with those in aqueous solution [17].

3.3 Thermodynamic parameters between CPs and phenolic compounds in the ethanol-water solution by ITC

ITC investigation was conducted to further understand the interaction mechanism between CPs and the four phenolic compounds in 52 % (v/v) ethanol solution system. The isotherms obtained using a CPs solution respectively titrated into 4-EP, phenol, guaiacol, and 4-EG at 30 ℃ are described in Fig. 4 (a-d). For comparison, the isotherm of the CPs solution titrated into pure 52 % (v/v) ethanol solution was also obtained, as shown in Fig. 4e. A reaction between CPs and phenolic compounds obviously occurred, and it was an exothermic process because of the downward heat-burst curves presented [38].

The thermodynamic parameters of CPs that reacted with the four phenolic compounds in 52 % (v/v) ethanol solution are summarized in Table 1, where n is the number of samples, KD is the binding constant, ∆H is the enthalpy change, ∆S is the entropy change, and ∆G is the free energy. The reaction of CPs with phenolic compounds was generally a spontaneous process due to ΔG < 0. The comparison between the absolute value of ΔH (|ΔH|) and − TΔS (|−TΔS|) could be used to further determine the reaction mechanism of CPs with phenolic compounds. In general, hydrogen bond interaction occurs if |ΔH| is higher than |−TΔS|; otherwise, it should a hydrophobic bond interaction [39, 40]. In case of 4-EP, the major binding mechanism was hydrogen bonds (|ΔH|>|-TΔS|), which is related to the carbonyl group of CPs, the phenolic hydroxyl group of 4-EP. as confirmed by the analysis of UV-vis and 1H NMR. For guaiacol and 4-EG, hydrophobic bonding was the main interaction mechanism because |ΔH| was smaller than |−TΔS|. These findings were consistent with the 1H NMR determination (Fig. 3). However, |ΔH| was smaller than |−TΔS| for phenol, but the 1H NMR determination indicated that hydrogen bonds took part in the reaction. Therefore, the ITC and 1H NMR investigation results suggested that 4-EP mainly hydrogen bonded with CPs, while guaiacol and 4-EG mainly hydrophobic bonded with CPs. Meanwhile, both bonds were involved in phenol, and this finding was similar with the result of Zhang et al. [15].

3.4 The content of phenolic compounds in the ethanol-water solution

According literatures, HS-SPME-GC-MS is a common approach to analyze the phenolic compounds in baijiu [15, 16]. Hence, the content of four phenolic compounds in the volatile components after adding different dosages of CPs were measured using HS-SPME-GC-MS, as listed in Table 2. The content of phenolic compounds was estimated to reduce by 13.53–44.28 %. Therefore, the result further confirmed that CPs can interact with phenolic compounds, which would definitely reduce their unpleasant feeling in baijiu.

3.5 The content of volatile compounds in light-flavor types baijiu

A sum of 44 volatile compounds were identified in light-flavor types baijiu by HS-SPME-GC-MS, including 27 esters, 7 alcohols, 5 aldehydes, 1 acid, 1 phenolic compound, 1 ketone, and 2 other compounds. Addition of CPs to the light-flavor types baijiu results in reduced contents of volatile compounds (Table 3). Therefore, CPs changed the whole aroma profile of baijiu. Among them, the content of phenolic compounds (2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol) was obviously declined, and it is indirectly confirmed the interaction between CPs and the phenolic compounds in baijiu.

4 Conclusions

In summary, the investigations of UV-Vis, zeta potential, and 1H-NMR spectroscopy analysis revealed the existence of intermolecular interactions of CPs with 4-EP, phenol, guaiacol, and 4-EG in the ethanol-water solution. Combined with ITC determination, the results showed that 4-EP mainly hydrogen bonded with CPs, and guaiacol and 4-EG mainly hydrophobic bonded with CPs. Meanwhile, hydrogen and hydrophobic bonds were all involved for the interaction of CPs and phenol. In addition, HS-SMPE-GC-MS determination indicated that the addition of CPs could obviously reduce the content of phenolic compounds in 52 % ethanol-water solution. In the real liquor, the HS-SPME-GC-MS determination showed that CPs also reduced the content of volatile compounds of light-flavor types baijiu, which is possible applicated to real liquor preparation.
