超临界CO_2对面包酵母活性影响的研究

超临界CO2下面包酵母菌株的存活率,随菌体含水量的增加、在超临界CO2流体中停留时间的延长和压力的增大而逐渐降低;当CO2的降压速率为025MPamin时,酵母菌的存活率最高。结果表明,在超临界CO2条件下导致酵母菌死亡的主要原因是压力的快速变化与低pH值。     

Characterisation of a novel support for biocatalysis in supercritical carbon dioxide

The work presents a characterisation study of Accurel EP100 (polypropylene based hydrophobic granules) as support material for lipase (Lypozyme 10,000 l, from native Rhizomucor miehei) operating as biocatalyst in supercritical CO₂ as solvent. The study involved assay of biocatalytic activity and operational stability as functions of system pressure and temperature. Furthermore, the presence of diffusion limitations was tested, by varying the bed diameter and support particle size. In addition, SEM and Gas Absorption were employed to test the mechanical stability. Results were compared with the commercially available biocatalyst Lipozyme™ IM60.

Pressure did not have a significant effect on the activity or the stability, while temperature had a positive effect on the activity and negative effect on the stability. As expected, an ‘optimum’ value of system water content gave maximum catalytic activity for each biocatalyst. External- and internal-diffusion limitations were both found negligible. The mechanical stability analysis demonstrated little (if any) effect of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO₂) on the structural integrity of Accurel EP100, although subtle increases in pore volume and surface area were observed.     

Inactivation of Alternaria brassicicola spores by supercritical carbon dioxide with ethanol entrainer

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) was used to inactivate fungal spores of Alternaria brassicicola. The inactivation conditions were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). When the SC-CO₂-entrainer (ethanol) system was applied to fungal spores, the treatment time required for the complete inactivation of fungal spores was substantially reduced.

Extraction conditions affecting supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of lycopene from watermelon

Lycopene, a carotenoid linked to protection against certain forms of cancer, is found in produce such as papaya, red-fleshed tomatoes, grapefruit and watermelon. The preparation of a supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) watermelon-lycopene extract could serve as a food grade source of this carotenoid. This study established preliminary conditions for enhancing SC-CO2 extraction of lycopene from watermelon. Freeze-dried watermelon was extracted with SC-CO2 and ethanol as an organic co-solvent. The lycopene concentration was determined by HPLC, with absorbance measured at 503 nm. In an initial set of experiments, the effects of extraction temperature (70-90 degrees C), pressure (20.7-41.4 MPa) and co-solvent ethanol addition (10-15%) were evaluated. A lycopene yield of 38 microg per gram of wet weight was obtained at 70 degrees C, 20.7 MPa, and 15% by volume ethanol. The extraction of fresh (non-freeze-dried) watermelon yielded 103+/-6 microg lycopene per gram fresh fruit weight. Of the parameters tested, temperature had the most effect on lycopene yield. Thus, in another set of experiments, the temperature was varied from 60-75 degrees C at an extraction pressure of 20.7 MPa in the presence of 15% ethanol. Studies showed that freeze-dried watermelon flesh loses lycopene in storage. In accounting for lycopene storage losses, lycopene yields at 60 degrees C extraction temperature were 14% greater than those obtained at 70 degrees C.

Supercritical carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide cause mild changes in spore structures associated with high killing rate of Bacillus anthracis

The present work examines chemical and structural response in B. anthracis spores killed by a mixture of supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO₂) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). Deactivation of 6-log of B. anthracis spores by SCCO₂ + H₂O₂ was demonstrated, but changes in structure were observed in only a small portion of spores. Results from phase contrast microscopy proved that this treatment is mild and does not trigger germination-like changes. TEM imaging revealed mild damage in a portion of spores while the majority remained intact. Dipicolinic acid (DPA) analysis showed that < 10% of the DPA was released from the spore core into the external milieu, further demonstrating only modest damage to the spores. Confocal fluorescent microscopy, assessing uptake of DNA-binding dyes, directly demonstrated compromise of the permeability barrier. However, the magnitude of uptake was small compared to spores that had been autoclaved. This work suggests that SCCO₂ + H₂O₂ is quite mild compared to other sterilization methods, which has major implications in its application. These results provide some insight on the possible interactions between spores and the SCCO₂ + H₂O₂ sterilization process.     

Lipase-catalyzed synthesis and antibacterial activity of N-vanillylnonanamide

N-vanillylnonanamide (VAN) was successfully synthesized from vanillylamine hydrochloride by enzymatic catalysis in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC–CO₂). Five commercial lipases, Novozyme 435, Lipozyme IM, Amano PS, Amano G and Sigma Candida cylindracea type VII, as biocatalysts for VAN synthesis were compared. Lipozyme IM exhibited best yields of tested lipases. Various parameters such as time, temperature, pressure and vanillylamine hydrochloride/nonanoic anhydride ratio that influenced the reaction were investigated. Nonanoic anhydride showed the best acyl donor of the employed substrates. An amidation yield of 40% was obtained when nonanoic anhydride and Lipozyme IM were used at 170 bar and 50 °C for 23 h in SC–CO₂. Besides, addition of 2 mM divalent salts (CuCl₂ and ZnCl₂) significantly increased 11–23% yield of the VAN. The enzyme operational stability suggested that Lipozyme IM maintained over 50 °C of the initial activity for the synthesis of VAN after reuse for 69 h. Furthermore, in vitro, VAN behaved as a potential antibacterial against Escherichia coli.     

Sterilization of biological pathogens using supercritical fluid carbon dioxide containing water and hydrogen peroxide

Novel noninvasive techniques for the removal of biological contaminants to generate clean or sterile materials are in demand by the medical, pharmaceutical and food industries. The sterilization method described here uses supercritical fluid carbon dioxide (SF-CO₂) containing 3.3% water and 0.1% hydrogen peroxide (v/v/v) to achieve from four to eight log viability reduction of all tested microbial species, including vegetative cells, spores and biofilms. The sterilization method employs moderate pressure and temperature (80 atm, 50 °C) and a short (30-minute) treatment time. The procedure kills various opportunistic pathogens that often persist in biofilm structures, fungal spores commonly associated with nosocomial infections, and Bacillus pumilus SAFR-032 endospores that are notoriously hard to eradicate by conventional sterilization techniques.     

组织工程支架制备中超临界CO2技术的应用*

作为组织工程研究中三大要素之一,组织工程支架可为细胞的附着、迁移和增殖提供理想的环境。传统的组织工程支架制备方法,如粒子沥滤法、相分离法及静电纺丝法等在理论和技术上已较为成熟,但由于大多需要有机溶剂的参与,在制备过程中仍存在有机溶剂难以去除,以及支架孔洞难以控制、连通性较差等问题。超临界二氧化碳(supercritical carbon dioxide,SC-CO₂)密度近似液体,黏度和扩散系数近似气体,具有流动性强、溶解能力大、传热效率高等特殊的理化性质,与传统工艺相结合,可在绿色温和的反应体系中有效规避上述问题,在组织工程支架制备及药物负载方面具有广阔前景。

Distribution of aflatoxins between extract and extraction residue of paprika using supercritical carbon dioxide

Paprika powder, naturally contaminated with aflatoxins, was extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide at standard conditions (300 bar and 50 degrees C). A lipophilic top phase and an aqueous base phase were obtained. These and the extraction residue were analysed by HPLC for aflatoxins. The main quantity of aflatoxins, about 60% of aflatoxin B1 and about 70% of aflatoxin B2 related to the original paprika powder, was found to be located in the extraction residue. This confirms the results of previous studies with other spices and demonstrates that the use for flavouring purposes of supercritical carbon dioxide extracts, rather than natural spice, offers potential application in reducing aflatoxin levels in spiced foods.
