Molecular Model for Astringency Produced by Polyphenol/Protein Interactions

Jöbstl, Elisabeth, O'Connell, John, Fairclough, J. Patrick A., Williamson, Mike P.·2004·Biomacromolecules

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 that at low EGCG ratios, small soluble polydisperse particles are formed, which aggregate to form larger particles as EGCG is added. There is an initial compaction of the protein as it binds to the polyphenol, but the particle subsequently increases in size as EGCG is added because of the incorporation of EGCG and then to aggregation and precipitation. These results are shown to be compatible with what is known of astringency in foodstuffs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
