Abstract

25

Cookie is one of the favorite cereal products which could be formulated by using various

26

ingredients for enrichment. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the inactivate

27

yeast cells addition to cookie formulation in terms of glutathione (GSH) content, antioxidant

28

activities, physicochemical and sensorial properties. Also, the cookies were produced with

29

GSH (pure, 98%) addition to compare the effects of inactive yeast GSH with pure GSH on

30

revealed properties. According to results, The GSH contents and the antioxidant activities

31

increased in dough and cookie samples with inactive yeast addition compared to control and

32

pure GSH added dough and cookie samples. The increases in GSH contents and antioxidant

33

activities were observed after baking in all samples. The pure GSH addition increased the

34

moisture content, spread ratio and L* value while decreased the hardness and b* values of the

35

cookies. The contrary results were obtained by inactive yeast addition in terms of the

36

physicochemical properties where the protein content of the cookies increased with inactive

37

yeast addition by approximately 25%. The loss of GSH content decreased while the

38

antioxidant activities and nutritional value increased in cookies by inactivate yeast addition.

1. Introduction

59

Glutathione (GSH), a member of thiols, plays important role as an antioxidants and it is

60

defined as a mercaptan. The GSH has a tripeptide structure (γ-glutamylcysteinylglycine) and

61

is found in animals, plants and microorganisms in milimolar concentrations. Antioxidant

62

property of GSH has been studied as one of the most important topic in biological functions.

63

It is important in detoxification of radicals such as hydroxyl radical (OH•), hydrogen peroxide

64

(H2O2) and superoxide anion (O2•). Although GSH is found as reduced form in the cell, it is

65

being oxidized (GSSG) during in antioxidant reactions. The GSH also plays an important role

66

in transportation of amino acids, synthesis of proteins and DNA (Kans et al., 1988; Orlowski

67

and Meister, 1970; Suthanthiran et al., 1990). In the literature, there are studies about GSH

68

existence in some fresh fruits and vegetables, but it is also known that GSH may get lost in

69

processes such as disinfection, heat treatment and drying (Demirkol et al., 2008, 2004;

70

Gümüşay et al., 2015). Nowadays, GSH is being used as pharmaceutical component and has a

71

potential in food and cosmetic industry. Still, it has not been widely used in the food industry

72

because of its cost.

73

Yeast usage in fermentation processes like alcoholic beverage production and bread

74

leavening made them to be known by humans for almost thousands of years. The current

75

scientific knowledge and technology allow the isolation, construction and industrial

76

production of yeast strains which have high biomass yield on carbon source (Bekatorou et al.,

77

2006). The acceptability as food or feed of a particular microorganism depends on its

78

nutritional value and safety, including nucleic acid content, presence of toxins and residual

79

undesirable compounds. S. cerevisiae consists of 30–33% of dry materials, 6.5–9.3% of

80

nitrogen, 40.6–58.0% of proteins, 35.0–45.0% of carbohydrates (high β-glucan), 4.0–6.0% of

81

lipids, 5.0–7.5% of minerals like Ca, P, K, Mg, Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cr and various amounts of

82

vitamins such as B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 (Wood, 2013), and high amounts of GSH

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 83

depending on its type and growth conditions (Ángeles Pozo-Bayón et al., 2009; Li et al.,

84

2004; Ravindra, 2000). Yeasts contain low amounts of nucleic acids but essential amino acids

85

mainly lysine with higher amount than bacteria or algae. Thus, yeasts are considered to be one

86

of the most important alternative single cell nutrition sources (Bekatorou et al., 2006; Gupta et

87

al., 2013).

88

Inactive form of yeast is produced as nutritional yeast and commercially available in many

89

countries. Yeast cells are inactivated by heat treatment and the process is completed with

90

drying. In recent years, using of inactive yeast cells as a part of wine production process has

91

become common because of the improving effects of GSH in the sensory properties and

92

fermentation. Moreover, it is also considered that the GSH in inactive yeast cells is effective

93

in maintaining the wine color (Ángeles Pozo-Bayón et al., 2009; Andújar-Ortiz et al., 2014).

94

Another application of inactive yeasts in food industry is in removing of toxic substances such

95

as ochratoxin and patulin which have been produced by microorganisms (Piotrowska et al.,

96

2013; Yue et al., 2011).

97

The trends in consumption of foods with high nutritional quality promote the researchers to

98

enrich the cookies likewise all other food products. The aim of this study was to compare the

99

changes in the GSH content, antioxidant activities and quality properties of cookies enriched

100

with inactive yeast cells and pure GSH.

2. Material and methods

103 104

2.1. Materials

105

Acetonitrile, methanol, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide were provided from Merck

106

(Darmstadt, Germany). Acetic acid, phosphoric acid and borate were purchased from Fisher

107

(St. Louis, MO). GSH, N-(1- Pyrenyl) maleimide (NPM), 2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl

110

pentaacetic acid (DETAPAC), 2,20-azino-bis/3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS)

111

and potassium persulfate were supplied from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). Instant dry yeast was

112

provided from local markets in Sakarya, Turkey. A hundred gram of instant dry yeast used in

113

the study had a proximate composition of 3.5 g of moisture, 6 g of fat, 39 g of carbonhaydrate

114

and 44 g of protein.

115 116

2.2. Preparation of the cookies

117

Cookies were prepared according to AACC Approved Method No: 10-54 (AACC, 2000)

118

with slight modifications. Formulation of cookies is given in Table 1. Instant dry yeast was

119

heat treated in oven at 120°C for 30 minutes to produce inactive yeast cells. In preliminary

120

study, the inactive yeast cells (2.88 mg GSH/ g yeast) were added to cookie formulation at 5,

121

10, 20, and 30% levels (in flour basis) and the cookies were analyzed for sensorial and

122

physical quality properties and GSH contents (Mutlu et al., 2016). Sensorial properties of the

123

cookies were examined in terms of taste, odor and tenderness. According to the results

124

(Fig.1), 10% level was found as the upper limit in cookies without deterioration in terms of

125

mainly taste. A lower level (5%) was also acceptable in terms of sensorial properties; however

126

the aim of the study was to increase the glutathione content in cookies. Therefore, the upper

127

level, 10%, was chosen to obtain cookies with higher level of glutathione.

128

Hence, the study has continued with the addition of 10% (in flour basis) of inactive yeast

129

(2.88 mg GSH/ g yeast) and 23 mg/recipe of pure GSH which was equaled to the amount of

130

GSH in 10% yeast. Four cookies were baked at a time with a rotary oven (Simsek

131

Laborteknik, Ankara Turkey) at 205°C for 11 min. The baked cookies were cooled at room

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 132

temperature for 2 hours and analyzed for physical quality parameters, and then packed with

133

plastic bags to store at -20C for further analyses.

134

2.3. Preparation of the extracts for determination of the GSH content

135

The dough and cookie extracts were prepared according to the procedure described by

136

Demirkol et al. (2004). The samples were weighted into test tubes and serine borate buffer

137

(SBB) were added (0.1 g/mL) to prevent potential oxidation of biothiols by atmospheric

138

oxygen. The SBB buffer contained 100 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM borate, 5 mM serine, and 1

139

mM DETAPAC, with the final pH adjusted to 7.0 by a concentrated NaOH solution. The

140

samples were homogenized with tissue tearor (Wiggen Hauser, model D-130 handheld

141

disperser, Germany) in ice bath for 2 min, with 30 second intervals, and then centrifuged at

142

13,130 g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatants were used to determine the GSH content.

143 144

2.4. Determination of the GSH content by the HPLC method

145

The GSH contents of the extracts were measured by using the chromatographic method to

146

analyze γ-glutamyl cycle intermediates that was developed by Winters et al. (1995), and

147

modified by Demirkol et al. (2004). The supernatants (100 µL) were diluted to 250 µL with

148

distilled water and derivatised with 750 µL N-(1-pyrenyl)maleimide (NPM) solution (1 mM

149

in acetonitrile). The solution was stirred and incubated at room temperature for 5 min, so that

150

the NPM was reacted with free sulfhydryl groups to form fluorescent derivatives. Then, 2 N

151

HCl solution (10 µL) was added to stop the reaction. The solution was filtered through 0.45

152

µm nylon filter and injected into a 5 μm C18 column in a reverse phase HPLC system.

153

The HPLC system (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) was comprised of a model L-2130 pump, L-

154

2300 oven, a L-2200 auto sampler, and a Hitachi Chromaster 5440 fluorescence detector

155

which was operated at an excitation wavelength of 330 nm and an emission wavelength of

156

376 nm, and a reversed-phase Reliasil ODS-1 C18 column (5 μm, 250 × 4.6 mm) (Orochem,

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 157

Naperville, USA). The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile: water solution (70:30) which

158

was adjusted to approximately pH of 2.5 by addition of 1 mL of acetic acid and 1 mL of o-

159

phosphoric acid per liter. The calibration curve was plotted by using 0 to 2500 nM GSH

160

solutions (r2= 0.996).

161 162

2.5. Preparation of the extracts for DPPH and CUPRAC assays

163

The dough and cookie extracts were prepared according to the method described by

164

Capanoglu et al. (2008) to determine DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) and CUPRAC

165

(cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity) assays. One gram of a sample was put into test tube

166

and 3 mL of methanol solution (75%, v/v) was added, then the mixture was kept in an

167

ultrasonic water bath for 15 min. The mixture was centrifuged at 13,130 g for 10 min at 4°C,

168

and the supernatant was separated. Three mL of methanol solution was added over the pellet

169

and the procedure was repeated. The collected supernatants were completed to the volume of

170

10 mL with methanol solution.

171 172

2.6. DPPH radical scavenging capacity assay

173

The DPPH assay was applied according to the procedure of Brand-Williams et al. (1995)

174

with some modifications. Three mL of 0.051 mM DPPH in methanol was added to 200 μL of

175

extract and the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 30 min. The DPPH scavenging

176

capacity was evaluated spectrophotometrically (Shimadzu UV-1240, USA) by measuring the

177

decrease in absorbance at 517 nm. Antioxidant capacity was calculated as DPPH radical

178

scavenging capacity (%) = [(A0– A1) / A0] × 100, where A0 was the absorbance of the blank

179

(reacting mixture without the test sample), and A1 was the absorbance of the reacting mixture

180

with the test sample.

181 182

2.7. CUPRAC assay

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 183

The CUPRAC assay was performed according to the method developed by Apak et al.

184

(2004). The sample extract (0.5 mL) and distilled water (0.6 mL) were transferred into a test

185

tube. One mL of 10-2 M copper (II) chloride, 1 mL of 7.5×10-2 M neocuproine, and 1 mL of

186

ammonium acetate buffer solutions were added and the mixture was incubated at room

187

temperature for an hour. The absorbance was determined spectrophotometrically (Shimadzu

188

UV-1240, USA) at 450 nm. The results were expressed as trolox equivalent, milligrams per

189

100 g (r2=0.996).

190 191

2.8. ABTS•+ assay

192

The ABTS (2,20-azino-bis/3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assay was applied by

193

QUENCHER method described by Serpen et al. (2008). The stock solution of ABTS•+ was

194

prepared by reacting a 7 mmol/L aqueous solution of ABTS with 2.45 mmol/L K2O8S2. The

195

stock solution was diluted with water/ethanol mixture (50:50, v/v) to obtain the working

196

solution with 0.70-0.80 absorbance value. The dough or cookie sample (10 mg) was mixed

197

with 6 mL of ABTS•+ working solution. The mixture was shaken for 25 min and centrifuged

198

at 9200 g for 2 min at 25°C, and then the absorbance measurement was performed

199

spectrophotometrically (Shimadzu UV-1240, USA) at 734 nm. The results were expressed as

200

trolox equivalent, millimole per gram (r2=0.993).

201 202

2.9. Moisture and protein contents of the cookies

203

The moisture contents (%) of the cookies were measured by gravimetric method in oven at

204

135°C (AACC, 2000). The nitrogen contents were determined by using the Kjeldahl method

205

and were multiplied by a factor of 5.7 to estimate the percent protein content (AACC, 2000).

206 207

2.10. Physical quality parameters of the cookies

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 208

After 2 hours of cooling at room temperature, the cookies were measured for diameter (D)

209

and thickness (T) with a caliper and the spread ratio (D/T) was calculated according to AACC

210

(2000).

211

The hardness values of the cookies were measured by a Texture Analyser (Stable

212

Microsytems, TA-XT plus, UK) equipped with a three-point bending rig. The span between

213

the supports was 4 cm. A load cell of 50 kg was used. The maximum force (Newton) required

214

to break the cookie sample was determined 24 hours after baking.

215

The surface color values of the cookies were determined by using Lovibond Reflectance

216

Colorimeter RT300 (UK), and CIE color values (L*, a*, b*) were measured. The L* value

217

indicates the lightness, 0–100 representing dark to light. The a* value gives the degree of the

218

red-green color. The b* value indicates the degree of the yellow-blue color. The instrument

219

was calibrated by using white and black calibration plates.

220 221

2.11. Sensorial analysis

222

The sensorial properties (taste, odor, tenderness and appearance) of the cookies were

223

screened by panel members by giving the scores ranging between 1 and 5; 5 being the most

224

desirable.

225 226

2.12. Statistical analysis

227

The tests were performed in duplicate and the results were expressed as mean ± standard

228

deviation (SD). The statistical analyses were performed using SPSS (version 11.5, SPSS Inc.,

229

USA). A comparison of the means was confirmed by Duncan’s test at 5% level of

230

significance using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).

231 232

3. Results and discussion

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 233 234

3.1. The GSH content and antioxidant activities of dough and cookie samples

235

The GSH content of the dough and cookie samples are presented in Fig.2. It was found that

236

the GSH contents of dough with inactive yeast (DY) and dough with pure GSH (DG) were

237

higher than those of their respective cookies. The reason of the decreases in GSH content in

238

the cookies was the high baking temperature (205°C). The accelerated degradation of GSH in

239

baking process might be due to the baking heat and the surrounding air oxygen. Gümüşay et

240

al. (2015) reported that the significant losses in GSH content were observed in thermal drying

241

of tomato and ginger samples. In another study, it was shown that there was a decrease in

242

GSH concentration in human milk samples subjected to thermal processing (Silvestre et al.,

243

2008). Both of the dough recipes (DG and DY) had 14 mg GSH/100 g dough (23 mg/recipe),

244

however the levels decreased to 8.16 and 11.42 mg/100 g dough in DG and DY, respectively.

245

This phenomenon might be observed because of the oxidation of GSH during mixing trough

246

breaking of the disulphide bonds in gluten by GSH. The GSH cleaved disulphide bonds and

247

formed protein/GSH mixed disulphides, so the number of GSH decreased at the end of the

248

mixing process and GSH transformed into GSSG (oxidized GSH) (Hüttner and Wieser, 2001;

249

Verheyen et al., 2015). The GSH content of the cookie with pure GSH (CG) (3.90 mg

250

GSH/100 g) was lower than that of the cookie with inactive yeast (CY) (7.37 mg GSH/100 g).

251

Although they had same GSH content at the beginning of the process, CY had almost twice as

252

much GSH as CG after cooking. It is well known that eukaryotic structure of yeast cell wall

253

had excellent potential as capsule material and many advantages with natural properties in

254

microencapsulation technology (Nelson, 2002). Because of the resistance of the cell wall of

255

yeast to high temperature, protection of the intercellular GSH level might be observed

256

(Normand et al., 2005).

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 257

Antioxidant activities of the dough and cookie samples are shown in Table 2. The DPPH

258

scavenging activity, CUPRAC and ABTS•+ assays were applied to determine the antioxidant

259

activity values. The DPPH scavenging activities of the control cookie (C), CG, and CY were

260

found as 21.52%, 15.73%, and 43.66%, respectively. The highest antioxidant activity was

261

belonged to CY, because the yeasts synthesized bioactive compounds which could act as

262

antioxidants like the organic acid and the salt forms of citric acid, coenzyme Q or ubiquinone,

263

glutathione, α-tocopherols (α-TOHs) and other forms of tocopherol (Abbas, 2006). The DPPH

264

scavenging activity of the CG was lower than that of control cookie. The nucleophilic

265

properties of sulphydryl compounds played important role in inhibiting the enzymatic and

266

nonenzymatic browning reactions which was the reason of low DPPH scavenging capacity of

267

CG (Friedman, 1994; Molnar-Perl and Friedman, 1990). DPPH scavenging activities of all

268

cookie samples were higher than those of their respective dough samples. However, there was

269

no significant (p>0.05) difference between the DPPH scavenging activities of DG and DC.

270

Maillard reaction products formed during the baking process could be attributed the increases

271

in antioxidant activities of the cookies (Manzocco et al., 2000).

272

The CUPRAC assay for antioxidant activity analysis is sensitive toward thiol-type

273

antioxidants like glutathione (Apak et al., 2004). Although the CUPRAC value of DG was

274

slightly higher than that of the control dough (D), there was no significant difference (p>0.05)

275

probably due to low amount of GSH in dough samples. The CY had the highest (913.15 mg

276

trolox/100 g) while CG had the lowest CUPRAC value due to the same reasons in DPPH

277

scavenging activity assay. The ABTS•+ values of the cookies were higher than those of the

278

dough samples. However, there was significant difference only between the ABTS•+ values of

279

C and D samples (p<0.05). The CY had the highest ABTS•+ value among all samples due to

280

both bioactive compounds of yeast cells and nonenzymatic browning reaction products.

281

Similar to the CUPRAC assay, ABTS•+ value of DG was slightly higher than that of D

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 282

sample, because thiols were irreversibly oxidized by the ABTS radical cation to higher

283

products such as sulphinic or sulphonic acids (Güngör et al., 2011).

284

Abdel-Samie et al. (2010) added the cumin and ginger as antioxidants to dough and

285

examined the effects on cookie quality. According to results, total phenolic compounds and

286

antioxidant activity of cookies increased by adding of 5% cumin and ginger. In another study,

287

different legume flours were incorporated into cookie and nutritional characteristics were

288

evaluated. Antioxidant activity increased up to 207% in legume flour added cookies (Zucco et

289

al., 2011). In the present study, addition of the inactive yeast cells improved the GSH level

290

and increased the antioxidant activities of the cookies significantly which was remarkable for

291

nutritional value.

292 293

3.2. Physicochemical properties of cookies

294

Physicochemical properties of cookies are presented in Table 3. Water binding capacity of

295

yeast cells are lower than that of wheat flour (Salvador et al., 2006). Replacement of flour

296

(10%) with inactive yeast in cookie formulation caused decrease in the moisture content of

297

cookie (CY) as compared to control cookie. However, there was no significant difference

298

(p>0.05) between the moisture contents of C and CY samples, which indicated that the added

299

inactive yeast level was not enough to make a significant effect but only slight decrease.

300

Adding of pure GSH increased the moisture level of cookie as compared to control one.

301

It was indicated in the literature that, the yeast cell walls had high levels of protein and

302

nitrogen (Bekatorou et al., 2006). Therefore, in the present study, the protein content of the

303

inactive yeast added cookie samples was found high as predicted. A significant difference

304

(p<0.05) was only observed in protein content of CY sample compared to other cookies. The

305

protein level reached to 9.72% by adding of inactive yeast into cookie formulation in CY

306

sample.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 307

The spread ratio of cookie is one of the quality parameters that affect the consumer

308

requirements. Higher spread ratio is related with higher acceptability. In the present study, the

309

results showed a decrease in spread ratio value in CY sample while increase in CG sample

310

compared to control cookie. Dough viscosity and gluten structure are two of the main

311

parameters that affect spread ratio (Miller and Hoseney, 1997; Pareyt et al., 2008). The GSH

312

is a reducing agent which weakens the structure by cleaving the disulfide bonds in gluten

313

proteins (Kline and Sugihara, 1968; Selomulyo and Zhou, 2007). The pure GSH addition to

314

cookie formulation weakened the gluten structure of cookie dough, therefore the spread ratio

315

of CG was found as higher than that of C sample (p<0.05). Although inactive yeast cells

316

released GSH during mixing, CY had lower spread ratio value than the other samples. It was

317

thought that, even there was a GSH release from damaged inactive yeast cells during mixing;

318

yeast cell wall might provide effective protection towards high amount releases that weakened

319

the gluten structure, so that CY had lower spread ratio value than the other samples.

320

Moreover, the moisture content of CG was higher than that of the other samples. Dough

321

viscosity was positively correlated with water binding capacity and the moisture content. The

322

lower moisture content of CY might also be effective on spreading.

323

The hardness of the cookie is one of the most important quality parameter that specifies the

324

tenderness of the product. The hardness of the cookie sample can be affected by its moisture

325

contents inversely. Pareyt et al. (2008) showed that the hardness values decreased by

326

increasing cookie weight and moisture level in the cookies containing various amounts of

327

gluten. Wang et al. (2002) determined that there were negative correlations between the

328

moisture contents and the hardness values in different bread samples. In the present study, the

329

CG with the highest moisture content had the lowest hardness value, while CY which had the

330

lowest moisture content had the highest hardness value (Table 3). Even there was a significant

331

difference (p<0.05) in hardness values only between CY and other samples, the hardness data

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 332

of CG and C samples were still different (p>0.05). Relatively higher hardness of CY was

333

assumed that the added yeast cells also had an impact on cookie structure due to their granule

334

form.

335

The color of the cookie is the first encounter in which consumers criticized the final

336

product and it is one of the main quality parameters beside texture and flavor. Final color of

337

bakery products is the result of formation of browning compounds from non-enzymatic

338

chemical browning reactions such as Maillard and caramelization. The Maillard reaction that

339

occurs during cooking process affects nutritional issues as much as sensorial properties. The

340

reactions between the reducing sugars and amino acids, proteins, and/or other nitrogen-

341

containing compounds with enough available water during baking produces harmful

342

compounds like HMF and acrylamide, in addition to healthy compounds like antioxidants.

343

Thiol precursor of the GSH is interpreted to be a compound to has inhibitory effect towards

344

Maillard reaction during heat treatment processes (Billaud et al., 2004; Friedman, 1994). In

345

the present study, the cookies showed significant difference (p<0.05) in L* values, while no

346

significant difference (p>0.05) in b* values (Table 3). Only CY had significantly (p<0.05)

347

higher a* value than the other cookies. The L* value increased in CG while decreased in CY

348

compared to C sample. It was thought that, decreasing of L* and increasing of a* values in

349

CY sample were not only because of browning reactions, but also the cause of the burning of

350

added inactive yeast cells. Inhibitory effects of the GSH on Maillard reaction might be the

351

reason of the high L* and low a* values of CG sample. Homogeneity of whiteness in CG as

352

compared to C can be seen in Fig. 3.

353 354

4. Conclusion

355

In the present study, the cookies were enriched with inactive yeast cells and pure GSH, and

356

the changes in the GSH content, antioxidant activities and quality properties were examined.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 357

It was showed that the industrial dry yeast could be converted into inactive yeast cells by

358

applying suitable heat treatment. The cell wall of yeast was thought to be a protecting barrier

359

during cookie baking that prevented the loss of intercellular GSH and maintained the

360

antioxidant activity. The results indicated that the pure GSH addition both inhibited the

361

Maillard reaction, and improved the physicochemical properties of the dough and cookie

362

samples. However, it decreased the antioxidant activity of cookies along with GSH content.

363

The antioxidant activity and GSH content of inactive yeast cell enriched cookies were almost

364

two times higher than those of the control and pure GSH added ones. Even though the

365

physical properties of inactive yeast added cookie were inferior than or similar to control

366

cookie, its nutritive value increased. Nutritional value of cookie containing inactive yeast cells

367

improved significantly in terms of its protein content and antioxidant activities.

368

In enrichment of cookies with natural ingredients and extracts in order to increase the

369

quality and functionality, S. cerevisiae, today’s the only species fully acceptable as food for

370

humans, is one of these ingredients suits this definition and can be used. Limited numbers of

371

studies on GSH content and antioxidant activity of inactive yeast shows that more researches

372

needed to be conducted.
