Generation of thiols by biotransformation of cysteine-aldehyde conjugates with baker's yeast.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 51(12) , 3629-35, (2003)

Baker's yeast was shown to catalyze the transformation of cysteine-furfural conjugate into 2-furfurylthiol. The biotransformation's yield and kinetics were influenced by the reaction parameters such as pH, incubation mode (aerobic and anaerobic), and substrat...

Lipase-assisted generation of 2-methyl-3-furanthiol and 2-furfurylthiol from thioacetates.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 50(14) , 4087-90, (2002)

Enzymatic hydrolysis of S-3-(2-methylfuryl) thioacetate and S-2-furfuryl thioacetate using lipase from Candida rugosa produced 2-methyl-3-furanthiol and 2-furfurylthiol, respectively. When reactions were carried out at room temperature and pH 5.8, 2-methyl-3-...

Effect of type of oil and addition of delta-tocopherol on model flavor compound stability during storage.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 55(22) , 9189-94, (2007)

The objective of this study was to investigate approaches to protect selected flavor compounds from deterioration when stored in an oil matrix. An aroma compound model mixture was prepared in a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) or sunflower oil (SfO) matrix and...

Degradation of the coffee flavor compound furfuryl mercaptan in model Fenton-type reaction systems.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 50(8) , 2356-64, (2002)

The stability of the coffee flavor compound furfuryl mercaptan has been investigated in aqueous solutions under Fenton-type reaction conditions. The impact of hydrogen peroxide, iron, ascorbic acid, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was studied in various c...

Screening of raw coffee for thiol binding site precursors using "in bean" model roasting experiments.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 53(7) , 2623-9, (2005)

The purpose of the following study was to investigate the influence of coffee roasting on the thiol-binding activity of coffee beverages, and to investigate the potential of various green bean compounds as precursors of thiol-binding sites by using promising ...

Quantitative studies on the formation of phenol/2-furfurylthiol conjugates in coffee beverages toward the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of coffee aroma staling.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 55(10) , 4095-102, (2007)

To gain a more comprehensive knowledge of the contribution of recently identified phenol/thiol conjugates to the storage-induced degradation of odorous thiols, the concentrations of the sulfury-roasty smelling key odorant 2-furfurylthiol and the concentration...

Study on the role of precursors in coffee flavor formation using in-bean experiments.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 57(21) , 9923-31, (2009)

The formation of several key odorants, such as 2-furfurylthiol (FFT), alkylpyrazines, and diketones, was studied upon coffee roasting. The approach involved the incorporation of potential precursors in green coffee beans by means of biomimetic in-bean and spi...

Synthesis and structure determination of covalent conjugates formed from the sulfury-roasty-smelling 2-furfurylthiol and di- or trihydroxybenzenes and their identification in coffee brew.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 54(26) , 10076-85, (2006)

Recent investigations demonstrated that the reaction of odor-active thiols such as 2-furfurylthiol with thermally generated chlorogenic acid degradation products is responsible for the rapid aroma staling of coffee beverages. To get a clear understanding of t...

Studies on the metabolism of the thiofurans furfuryl mercaptan and 2-methyl-3-furanthiol in rat liver.

Food Chem. Toxicol. 41(12) , 1761-70, (2003)

The metabolism of two thiofurans, namely furfuryl mercaptan (FM) and 2-methyl-3-furanthiol (MTF), to their corresponding methyl sulphide and methyl sulphoxide derivatives has been studied in male Sprague-Dawley rat hepatocytes and liver microsomes. Rat hepato...
