The effect of fumigation with hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas on inhibiting enzymatic browning of fresh-cut lotus root slices was investigated. Browning degree, changes in color, total phenol content, superoxide anion production rate (O2(-)), H2O2 content, antioxidant capacities (DPPH radical scavenging ability, ABTS radical scavenging activity and the reducing power) and activities of the phenol metabolism-associated enzymes including phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) were evaluated. The results showed that treatment with 15 μl L(-1) H2S significantly inhibited the browning of fresh-cut lotus root slices (P<0.05), reduced significantly O2(-) production rate and H2O2 content, and enhanced antioxidant capacities (P<0.05). PPO and POD activities in the fresh-cut lotus root slices were also significantly inhibited by treatment with H2S (P<0.05). This study suggested that treatment with exogenous H2S could inhibit the browning of fresh-cut lotus root slices by enhancing antioxidant capacities to alleviate the oxidative damage.
研究了硫化氢(H₂S)气体熏蒸对抑制鲜切莲藕片酶促褐变的影响。评估了褐变程度、颜色变化、总酚含量、超氧阴离子产生速率(O₂⁻)、H₂O₂含量、抗氧化能力(DPPH自由基清除能力、ABTS自由基清除活性和还原力)以及与酚类代谢相关的酶的活性,包括苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)、多酚氧化酶(PPO)。结果表明,用15 μl L⁻¹ H₂S处理可显著抑制鲜切莲藕片的褐变(P<0.05),显著降低O₂⁻产生速率和H₂O₂含量,并增强抗氧化能力(P<0.05)。用H₂S处理也显著抑制了鲜切莲藕片中PPO和POD的活性(P<0.05)。本研究表明,外源H₂S处理可通过增强抗氧化能力减轻氧化损伤来抑制鲜切莲藕片的褐变。
