Soluble dietary fiber from tea residues with inhibitory effects against acrylamide and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural formation in biscuits: The role of bound polyphenols.

This study investigated the impact of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) from untreated (U-SDF), fermented (F-SDF) and high temperature cooked (H-SDF) from tea residues on formation of acrylamide (AA) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) in biscuits. Both 3% F-SDF and 2% H-SDF can simultaneously inhibit AA and 5-HMF and SDFs increased the types of volatile compounds in biscuits. After the determination of the bound polyphenol compositions in SDFs by LC-QTOF-MS/MS, six polyphenols with different structural characteristics were selected to explore their contributions on the inhibitory effect of SDFs and structure-inhibitory capacity relationships in the "glucose-asparagine-linoleic acid" model system. It showed that the inhibitory activities of those polyphenols were greatly affected by the number of hydroxyl groups and methoxy groups on the benzene ring. Almost all polyphenols were also found to scavenge hydroxyl radicals generated in reactions. Thus, this study suggests that the bound polyphenols of SDFs play a key role in the inhibition of AA and 5-HMF.
