Molecular Model for Astringency Produced by Polyphenol/Protein Interactions

Abstract: Polyphenols are responsible for the astringency of many beverages and foods. This is thought to be caused by the interaction of polyphenols with basic salivary proline-rich proteins (PRPs). It is widely assumed that the molecular origin of astringency is the precipitation of PRPs following polyphenol binding and the consequent change to the mucous layer in the mouth. Here, we use a variety of biophysical techniques on a simple model system, the binding of beta-casein to epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). We show… Show more

“…The observed bulk aggregation behaviour shares similarity with the "three stage binding model" previously proposed by Jöbstl et al [3], elaborated through studying EGCG-casein complexes. The main similarity stems from the fact that EGCG binding to mucin promotes the association of polyphenol-glycoprotein complexes resulting in the formation of aggregates.…”

“…Bioavailability of dietary polyphenols may not be a universal predictor of their physiological efficacy; other factors such as polyphenol ability to bind both mucins (which line the GIT) and dietary polysaccharides may play dominant roles. In addition, polyphenols are known to influence the physicochemical state of several common dietary components such as dairy proteins including caseins [3]. They are also implicated in the perception of astringency [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], a complex mouthfeel effect, which has marked effects on the perception of foods and beverages [13].…”

“…O processo de purificação da caseína por desfosforilação afeta negativamente a coesão estrutural e a capacidade de formação de estruturas micelares, originalmente observadas na caseína bruta. Como conseqüência, há um aumento da superfície reacional e uma maior capacidade de complexar taninos, porém, à custa de um aumento da hidrofobia da superfície 13,14 . Em caseínas brutas, as propriedades de superfície são influenciadas pelas κ-e α S -caseínas presentes na superfície das micelas 14 .…”
