The inhibitory effects of seven polyphenols on 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol fatty acid esters (3-MCPDE) formation were investigated in palm oil models. Results showed that there was not a positive significant correlation between the free-radical scavenging activities of the tested compounds and their 3-MCPDE-formation inhibitory activities; puerarin, with weak antioxidant activity, showed the highest inhibitory capacity. Moreover, puerarin reduced the content of glycidol and glycidyl esters (GEs), two key intermediates of 3-MCPDE formation in the oil models; and a puerarin-adduct was discovered in the oil fortified with glycidol or GEs, with its structure elucidated by LC-MS/MS and comparison with newly synthesized ones. Based on its chemical structure, we proposed that puerarin, at least in part, reacted with glycidol and GEs to inhibit 3-MCPDE formation. In addition, the formed compound, puerarin-7-O-propanediol was identified in the potato chips frying system, further confirming reacting with glycidol/GEs as a key mechanism of puerarin to inhibit 3-MCPDE formation.
七种多酚对棕榈油模型中 3-氯-1,2-丙二醇脂肪酸酯(3-MCPDE)形成的抑制作用进行了研究。结果表明,测试化合物的自由基清除活性与其 3-MCPDE 形成抑制活性之间没有正相关关系;具有弱抗氧化活性的葛根素表现出最高的抑制能力。此外,葛根素降低了油模型中 3-MCPDE 形成的关键中间体缩水甘油和缩水甘油酯(GEs)的含量;并且在添加缩水甘油或 GEs 的油中发现了一种葛根素加合物,通过 LC-MS/MS 及其与新合成的化合物的比较来阐明其结构。基于其化学结构,我们提出葛根素至少部分与缩水甘油和 GEs 反应以抑制 3-MCPDE 的形成。此外,在薯条油炸体系中鉴定出形成的化合物葛根素-7-O-丙二醇,进一步证实了与缩水甘油/GEs 反应是葛根素抑制 3-MCPDE 形成的关键机制。
