Abstract Peanuts from a commercial source were segregated into specific seed sizes and placed in storage conditions approximating commercial conditions to determine the amino acid changes taking place during storage within various size seeds. Concentrations of the isolated free amino acid fractions significantly decreased with seed size except for phenylalanine which significantly increased with seed size. Significant changes also occurred in the free amino acid fractions across storage periods up to nine months in duration. These results are the first to document a change in amino acids during the storage of peanuts.

This study evaluated the effects of the canning process and different filling media on the free amino acid and biogenic amine contents of eels. The main free amino acids were histidine, taurine and arginine, which constituted 72% of the free amino acids in raw eels. All steps in the canning process significantly altered the free amino acid content of eels, relative to raw samples. The changes were influenced by the step, the composition of the frying or filling medium and the storage time. The biogenic amine contents were very low in all samples. Histamine was not detected in either raw eels or canned eels. The highest values were obtained for 2-phenylethylamine. The step of the canning process, the composition of the frying or filling medium and storage time also determined the changes in the biogenic amine contents. The biogenic amines indices were low, indicating the good quality of canned eels.

AbstractDuring dehydration cellular proteostasis as well as amino acid homeostasis are severely challenged, since the decrease in photosynthesis induces massive proteolysis. Thus, we selected progressive drought stress in Arabidopsis thaliana as a model to investigate the balance between protein and free amino acid homeostasis on a quantitative level. We analyze the mass protein composition of rosette leaves and estimate, how many protein molecules are present in a plant cell and its subcellular compartments. Under control conditions, an average Arabidopsis mesophyll cell contains about 25 billion protein molecules and 80% of them are localized in the chloroplasts. Severe water deficiency leads to degradation of more than 40% of the leaf proteome and thus causes a drastic shift towards the free amino acid pool. Stress induced proteolysis of half of the 400 million RubisCO hexadecamers present in the chloroplasts of an individual mesophyll cell alone doubles the cellular content in free amino acids. A major fraction of the amino acids released from proteins is channeled into the synthesis of proline as a compatible osmolyte. Complete oxidation of the remaining part as an alternative respiratory substrate can fully compensate the lack of carbohydrates derived from photosynthesis for several hours.
