[Enzymatic breakdown of linoleic acid hydroperoxides to volatile carbonyl compounds by isomerase from barley (author's transl)]. 1977

W Heimann, and U Timm

Barley protein fractions with active isomerase, purified by means of gelchromatography were incubated at room temperature with linoleic acid hydroperoxides (LHPO), containing 9-hydroperoxy-10-trans,12-cis-octadecadienoic acid (9-LHPO) and 13-hydroperoxy-9-cis,11-trans-octadecadienoic acid (13-LHPO) in the ratio of about 1:1. The volatile compounds resulting from the reaction have been isolated, concentrated and investigated by means of gas- and radio-gaschromatography. In the case of incomplete LHPO-breakdown remaining hydroperoxides and nonvolatile breakdown products have been separated before gaschromatographic analysis. In addition to hexanal as main product, traces of 2-tr-heptenal and 2-tr-octenal were found; about 6% of the converted hydroperoxides were transformed to carbonyl compounds. By numerous additional experiments it was confirmed that the volatile compounds are formed by enzymatic catalysis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D007535 Isomerases A class of enzymes that catalyze geometric or structural changes within a molecule to form a single product. The reactions do not involve a net change in the concentrations of compounds other than the substrate and the product.(from Dorland, 28th ed) EC 5. Isomerase
D008041 Linoleic Acids Eighteen-carbon essential fatty acids that contain two double bonds. Acids, Linoleic
D008084 Lipoxygenase An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class primarily found in PLANTS. It catalyzes reactions between linoleate and other fatty acids and oxygen to form hydroperoxy-fatty acid derivatives. Lipoxidase,Linoleate-Oxygen Oxidoreductase,Lipoxygenase-1,Lipoxygenase-2,Linoleate Oxygen Oxidoreductase,Lipoxygenase 1,Lipoxygenase 2,Oxidoreductase, Linoleate-Oxygen
D010545 Peroxides A group of compounds that contain a bivalent O-O group, i.e., the oxygen atoms are univalent. They can either be inorganic or organic in nature. Such compounds release atomic (nascent) oxygen readily. Thus they are strong oxidizing agents and fire hazards when in contact with combustible materials, especially under high-temperature conditions. The chief industrial uses of peroxides are as oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, and initiators of polymerization. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Peroxide
D010940 Plant Proteins Proteins found in plants (flowers, herbs, shrubs, trees, etc.). The concept does not include proteins found in vegetables for which PLANT PROTEINS, DIETARY is available. Plant Protein,Protein, Plant,Proteins, Plant
D002264 Carboxylic Acids Organic compounds containing the carboxy group (-COOH). This group of compounds includes amino acids and fatty acids. Carboxylic acids can be saturated, unsaturated, or aromatic. Carboxylic Acid,Acid, Carboxylic,Acids, Carboxylic
D002384 Catalysis The facilitation of a chemical reaction by material (catalyst) that is not consumed by the reaction. Catalyses

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
