Abstract
To study a way to covalently link arabinoxylans and proteins using a fungal laccase from the fungus Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, the effect of cysteinyl caffeic acid on the cross-linking of wheat arabinoxylans was investigated by means of capillary viscometry and RP-HPLC of alkali labile phenolic compounds. Cysteinyl caffeic acid provoked a delay in gelation and in the consumption of the esterified ferulic acid on arabinoxylans. When reacting free ferulic acid and cysteinyl caffeic acid with laccase, the ferulic acid consumption and the dehydrodimers production were also diminished. These results suggest that cysteinyl caffeic acid is oxidized while reducing the semiquinones of ferulic acid produced by laccase. Thus, ferulic acid could not be oxidized into dimers until all cysteinyl caffeic acid was consumed, preventing the cross-linking of feruloylated arabinoxylan chains. A similar mechanism is proposed in the case of caffeic acid and of L-Dopa.
