Immobilized tannase

The enzyme tannase has been immobilized on an inorganic support by covalent attachment. This immobilized enzyme was characterized and half-lives determined. Since this enzyme has application in the treatment of tea cream, experiments were also carried out to determine the effect of tea on enzyme half-life.     

Encapsulation of tannase for the hydrolysis of tea tannins

Tannase was encapsulated in alginate, chitosan, carrageenan or pectin gel matrices, and in the case of alginate, coated with high or low molecular weight chitosan to reduce enzyme release. Cross-linking with glutaraldehyde also improved enzyme retention. Active enzyme preparations were obtained, although carrageenan gels were unstable in tea. Tannase activity was evaluated by reduction in centrifugable (flocculated) tea solids, and a reduction in tea cream measured turbidimetrically after removal of flocculated solids. Tannin interactions with the polysaccharide gels increased the level of centrifugable solids (flocculent) in the tea. An optimum bead formulation consisted of an alginate core, coated with chitosan and cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. Both core and coating materials contained active enzyme. Beads were prepared in a single step procedure involving extrusion of alginate/tannase solution into a hardening bath containing tannase-loaded, chitosan solution. Tannase retained hydrolytic activity through three successive batch cycles, for a total period of 39h processing, and tea cream was visibly removed by treatment with the immobilized tannase. Activity remained stable during 1-month bead storage under refrigeration.     

Properties of ACE inhibitory peptide prepared from protein in green tea residue and evaluation of its anti-hypertensive activity

Green tea contains active ingredients which are beneficial for health. While numerous studies have been conducted on the components extracted from green tea, few studies have investigated the active ingredients in tea residue. In this study, proteins were extracted from green tea residue via an optimised alkaline extraction combined with enzymatic hydrolysis, of which, an acidic protease was selected to prepare an enzymatic hydrolysate because of its high angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. The composition characteristics of extracted green tea proteolysis products were elucidated, including amino acid composition, molecular weight distribution and possible amino acid sequences. In addition, the protein hydrolysate had anti-digestive properties, maintained its activity of inhibiting ACE enzyme at different temperatures, pH and metal ions, and exhibited antihypertensive activity in animals. In conclusion, the optimised alkaline extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis conditions of a ACE inhibitory peptide from green tea residue is an optimal extraction method to maintain its antihypertensive activity, providing the basis for the clinical application of green tea for blood pressure reduction.

Microbial Biomass, N Mineralization and Nitrification, Enzyme Activities, and Microbial Community Diversity in Tea Orchard Soils

Understanding the chronological changes in soil microbial and biochemical properties of tea orchard ecosystems after wasteland has been reclaimed is important from ecological, environmental, and management perspectives. In this study, we determined microbial biomass, net N mineralization, and nitrification, enzyme (invertase, urease, proteinase, and acid phosphatase) activities, microbial community diversity assessed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of 16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products, and related ecological factors in three tea orchard systems (8-, 50-, and 90-year-old tea orchards), adjacent wasteland and 90-year-old forest. Soil microbial biomass C (C_mic) and activity, i.e., soil basal respiration (R_mic), microbial biomass C as a percent of soil organic C (C_mic/C_org), N mineralization, invertase, urease, proteinase, and acid phosphatase, significantly increased after wasteland was reclaimed; however, with the succeeding development of tea orchard ecosystems, a decreasing trend from the 50- to 90-year-old tea orchard became apparent. Soil net nitrification showed an increasing trend from the 8- to 50-year-old tea orchard and then a decreasing trend from the 50- to 90-year-old tea orchard, and was significantly higher in the tea orchards compared to the wasteland and forest. Urea application significantly stimulated soil net nitrification, indicating nitrogen fertilizer application may be an important factor leading to high-nitrification rates in tea orchard soils. The Shannon’s diversity index (H) and richness (S) based on DGGE profiles of 16S rRNA genes were obviously lower in all three tea orchards than those in the wasteland; nevertheless, they were significantly higher in all three tea orchards than those in the forest. As for the three tea orchard soils, comparatively higher community diversity was found in the 50-year-old tea orchard.     

Electrochemical evaluation of glucose oxidase immobilized by different methods

Glucose oxidase electrodes were constructed on a platinum screen using polyacrylamide gel, glutaraldehyde crosslinking, and glutaraldehyde crosslinking with +0.04 volts dc on the platinum screen as the methods of enzyme immobilization. The electrodes were evaluated in an electrochemical cell for the oxidation of glucose at the enzyme electrode and the reduction of oxygen at a platinum auxiliary electrode, using constant current voltametry or under external load operation. The method of immobilization affected the extrapolated opencircuit potential as well as the half-cell potential and the steady current under external load operation. The charged glutaraldehyde electrode gave the best current performance; however, the small output (microamps) indicated that major problems in electron transfer from an enzyme catalyst to an external circuit must be resolved before such electrodes can be used in practical application.

Substrate specificity of beta-primeverosidase, a key enzyme in aroma formation during oolong tea and black tea manufacturing

We synthesized nine kinds of diglycosides and a monoglycoside of 2-phenylethanol to investigate the substrate specificity of the purified beta-primeverosidase from fresh leaves of a tea cultivar (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis cv. Yabukita) in comparison with the apparent substrate specificity of the crude enzyme extract from tea leaves. The crude enzyme extract mainly showed beta-primeverosidase activity, although monoglycosidases activity was present to some extent. The purified beta-primeverosidase showed very narrow substrate specificity with respect to the glycon moiety, and especially prominent specificity for the beta-primeverosyl (6-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl) moiety. The enzymes hydrolyzed naturally occurring diglycosides such as beta-primeveroside, beta-vicianoside, beta-acuminoside, beta-gentiobioside and 6-O-alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, but were unable to hydrolyze synthetic unnatural diglycosides. The purified enzyme was inactive toward 2-phenylethyl beta-D-glucopyranoside. The enzyme hydrolyzed each of the diglycosides into the corresponding disaccharide and 2-phenylethanol. These results indicate the beta-primeverosidase, a diglycosidase, to be a key enzyme involved in aroma formation during the tea manufacturing process.
