Abstract:
The effects of mango active volatile components (VOCs) on protein function were investigated from the perspective of nutrient transport. The active volatile components of five varieties of mango were analyzed by headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS). The interaction mechanism between active volatile components and three carrier proteins was discussed by fluorescence spectroscopy, molecular docking and dynamic simulation. The results showed that there were 7 active components in the five mango varieties. The aroma components represented by 1-caryophyllene and β-pinene were selected for further study. The interaction between VOCs small molecules and proteins is a static binding process, and its main force is hydrophobic interaction. The results of molecular simulation and spectral experiments showed that the binding ability of 1-caryophyllene and β-pinene to β-Lg was strong, so mango VOCs could possess a certain nutritional value in dairy products, expanding its application in dairy products in the food industry.
