Rapid semi-quantification of triacylglycerols, phosphatidylcholines,and free fatty acids in the rice bran of one grain

更新时间:2016-07-05

1. lntroduction

In Asia, rice bran oil is extracted from rice bran, which is composed of the embryo and aleurone layer, using hexane and then used as cooking oil (Pal and Pratap 2017).However, when triacylglycerols (TAGs), the main component of rice bran oil, are excluded, the crude oil contains only phospholipids and free fatty acids (FFAs) that cannot be used as re fined oil. FFAs are produced by lipase present in rice bran (Bhattacharyya and Bhattacharyya 1989). It is possible to produce rice oil more efficiently when rice bran is rich in TAG but poor in phospholipids and FFAs.For screening rice lines suitable for rice oil production, we attempted to rapidly determine the TAG, phosphatidylcholine(PC) which is a major phospholipid class, and FFA contents in the rice bran obtained from one grain using a microplate assay method.

2.2. Methods

Rice bran including the rice germ and aleurone layer of unpolished rice was scraped off with a scalpel and collected in a microcentrifuge tube placed on ice. The obtained bran was weighed in an electronic precision balance. The bran samples were transferred to a glass 96-well plate, and 250 μL of chloroform:methanol (2:1,v/v) solution (CM solution) was added to the wells (Folch et al. 1957). For the TAG calibration curve, 10 mg glyceryl trioleate mL–1 CM solution; for the PC calibration curve,0.0018 mg COATSOME NC-20 mL–1 CM solution; and for the FFA calibration curve, 2.78 mg oleic acid mL–1 CM solution were prepared. Three solutions were equivalently mixed and the solution was used as a standard solution.To each well of the plate, 250 μL of the standard solution was added at different concentrations (5- to 200-fold dilution). The glass plate was incubated at 45°C for 30 min, and then dried with nitrogen gas. To each well, 70 μL of an ADAM staining solution adjusted to 0.2 mg mL–1 with CM solution was added. The plate was shaken at 1 000 r min–1 for 3 min with a plate shaker and then left for 2 min.FFA contents were measured using a fluorescence plate reader (FLx800, BioTek® Instruments, Inc., Vermont, USA).The excitation and emission wavelength filters were set at 360 and 410 nm, respectively. After FFA determination,50 μL of 5% Nonidet P-40 in methanol was added to each well, and then the plate was shaken with the shaker at 1 000 r min–1 for 3 min and dried with nitrogen gas. We also examined the effect of three different surfactants(Triton X-100, Tween 40, and Nonidet P-40, as shown in Fig. 1) on TAG determination (Table 1 and Figs. 2–3). We selected Nonidet P-40 for subsequent experiments, based on the results (Table 1 and Fig. 3). To each well, 100 μL of deionized water was added and then the plate was shaken with the shaker at 1 000 r min–1 for 3 min. For TAG determination, 20 μL from each well was transferred into its corresponding well of an empty plate. The remaining 80 μL of solution in the original wells was used for PC determination. To the wells for TAG measurement, 200 μL of chromogenic reagent for the Triglyceride E-test Wako(Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) (Spayd and Bruschi 1978) was added, and 180 μL of chromogenic reagent for the Phospholipid C-test Wako (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) (Takayama et al. 1977) was added to the PC determination wells. The plates were shaken with the shaker at 1 000 r min–1 for 3 min. All wells were measured at 600 nm using a spectrophotometer (Multiskan GO, Thermo Fisher Scientific Co., Ltd., Yokohama, Japan) set at 37°C for the TAG and PC determinations. To con firm the validity of our method,the TAG contents of the three rice lines (A, B, and C) used in this study were compared with previous measurements using large amounts of rice grain (Sakata et al. 2016).

3. Results and discussion

3.1. ln fluence of surfactants on TAG measurement

For measuring the amount of TAGs, the type of surfactant used in the lipid dissolving water was examined. As shown in Fig. 2, an effective calibration curve with the triolein standard was not obtained using Triton X-100 as a surfactant. Next,the nonionic surfactants, Nonidet P-40 and Tween 40, which are considered not to inhibit enzymatic reactions, were used. As shown in Table 1, the linear relationship with a correlation coefficient of 0.9993 was obtained with 2.5%Nonidet P-40 in the TAG (triolein) concentration range of 7–150 mg L–1. The structures of Triton X-100 and Nonidet P-40 are quite similar (Fig. 1). Triton X-100 and Nonidet P-40 contain polyoxyethylene chains. A difference in the length of their polyoxyethylene chains affects the average number of monomers per micelle. A previous study showed that the surfactant monomer numbers per micelle of Triton X-100 and Nonidet P-40 were 9.6 and 9.0, respectively(Arnold and Linke 2007). This suggests that these surfactant properties enhanced the reactivity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL),which is found in the commercial enzyme assay kit, to TAGs.TAGs are located in the center of micelles as a “core lipid”(Scanu 1979; Assman 1982). In nature, the LPL contained in this commercial enzyme assay kit degrades TAGs in lipoproteins (Wong and Schotz 2002). Researchers in the field of nutrition have adapted this kit in order to measure TAG contents in lipid extracts from animal tissues (Carr et al. 1993; Sugawara and Miyazawa 2001). Triton X-100 has been used as a surfactant for these measurements. In other words, it is said that micelles made with this surfactant mimic a lipoprotein serum. Therefore, phospholipid (PL) is placed on the micelle surface together with the surfactant,and TAGs are placed at the center of the micelle (Scanu 1979; Assman 1982). Furthermore, correlation coefficients of the calibration curves for PC (5–70 mg L–1) and FFA(8–200 mg L–1) measurements were 0.9990 and 0.9987,respectively (Fig. 4). Under these conditions, it is thought that the lipid components of rice bran can be measured from the same extract. Based on this result, we surmised that 2.5% Nonidet P-40 is present in the lipid-dissolved solution.

3.2. Quantification of TAGs, PCs, and FFAs in actual rice bran samples using this method and validation of this method

To evaluate the validity of this method, we directly compared the TAG contents in actual rice bran samples measured using this method with previous measurements using large amounts of rice grain (Sakata et al. 2016). We did this using three rice lines with different TAG contents. As shown in Fig. 5, the results of this method showed good correspondence with those of previous reports using large amounts of rice grain (r=0.9881). The PC content of rice bran is estimated to be 5–6 mg g–1 rice bran when the crude lipid content is around 100 mg g–1 of rice bran (Liu et al.2013). To measure the PC contents exactly, it is necessary to use thin layer chromatography (TLC) separation of the PL classes, but because the amount of PCs is high in rice bran, a considerable amount of rice is necessary. Generally,the levels of each PL class are determined by quantification of phosphorus according to the method described by Rouser et al. (1966). The detection sensitivity of Rouser’s method is low, and the detection limit is approximately 0.25 μg. Taken together, it is difficult to visualize PC bands on the TLC plate if the PC contents in the rice bran are low. The FFA contents in rice brans are highly variable(Bhattacharyya and Bhattacharyya 1989). An accurate quantitative method for FFAs is to quantify the fatty acid composition via gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) with an internal standard after fractionation by TLC. However, this method has a disadvantage in that an appropriate internal standard cannot be found. Rice has minor fatty acids that can be separated by GLC, even though their amounts are different (Lugay and Juliano 1964; Shin and Godber 1996;Zhou et al. 2003). Many researchers use odd-chain fatty acids as an internal standard for GLC, but they also exist in rice bran (Yilmaz et al. 2014; MECSST 2015). In addition to the analysis of fatty acid composition by GLC, the amount of FFAs in edible oil is usually measured as an acid value(AV) (Horwitz et al. 1976). Because this procedure involves titration, a large sample of rice bran is required. Therefore,to evaluate the validity of FFA contents in rice bran measured using our method, it is necessary to measure FFA contents extracted from a large amount of bran using ADAM and then to compare the results.

4. Conclusion

Three lipid components of rice bran can be measured by the microplate assay method. It is thought that it can be used for screening oil-rich rice lines. For the quantification of FFAs and PCs, it is necessary to compare this method with a more advanced method.
