ABSTRACT The pickled radish can be kept at room temperature for years without spoilage. 2,6-dihydroxyacetophenone (DHAP), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (HBA), and 4-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol (4-HPEA) were first found from the pickled radish. The structures of three phenolic compounds were elucidated by analysis of their nuclear magnetic resonance and high-resolution electro-spray ionization mass spectrometry data. All these phenolic compounds showed good free radical scavenging capacity except HBA. Both DHAP and 4-HPEA also showed high ferric reducing ability. DHAP showed good antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Canidia albicans. HBA demonstrated antimicrobial activity against E. coli and C. albicans but not B. subtilis. Based on the results of MTT assay, these compounds did not show cytotoxicity to LO2 cell line. All results indicated the pickled radish had antioxidant and antimicrobial phenolic compounds. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first to answer partially the question of why pickled foods can be kept at room temperature for years without spoilage based on the evidence of three phenolic compounds.

1. Introduction

2

Pickled radish was processed by traditional method in China. Fresh white radish is dehydrated

3

with sea salt and pressed, and then pickled in ceramic container without any other ingredients. The

4

pickled radish has a very long shelf life, and it can be kept at room temperature up to 20 years

5

without package. The antioxidant activity of radish is partly due to acylated pelargonidin derivatives

6

(Wang et al., 2010). Complex biochemical reactions occur in the pickling and fermentation of

7

kimchi (Cheigh et al., 1994). Pickled radish has particular nutritional content and health benefits

8

(Kumakura et al., 2017). Many bioactive components with antimicrobial and/or antioxidant

9

generate from the pickling process, such as phenolic compounds (Jing et al., 2014). However, there

10

was no study on the phenolic compounds of pickled radish.

11

Plant phenolic compounds have been extensively studied due to their bioactive activities and

12

also healthy benefits for human beings (Zheng and Wang, 2001; Derakhshan et al., 2018; Qin et al.,

13

2019). The aromatic ring having the hydroxyl groups is a family characteristic of these compounds,

14

and these structures include high-molecular weight polymers or small phenolic molecules

15

(Balasundram et al., 2006; Wang et al., 2019). Phenolic compounds are usually used as natural

16

antioxidants in foods to extend the shelf life (Caponio et al., 2001; Estevinho et al., 2008;

17

Llorent-Martinez et al., 2017). Phenolic compounds in cooked ground walnut showed high

18

antioxidant activities during refrigerated storage (Ahn et al., 2002). Phenolics in clove essential oil

19

can enhance the stability of cake and other lipid foods for storage (Ibrahium et al., 2013). Phenolic

20

compounds can also inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as E. coli, K. pneumoniae, B.

21

cereus, A. flavus, and A. parasiticus (Aziz et al., 1998). Different concentrations of phenolic

22

compounds exhibit different sensitivities towards different microorganisms (Vaquero et al., 2007).

23

However, antimicrobial activity of phenolic compounds from pickled radish has not been shown in

24

the previous literature.

25

In this study, the compounds with antimicrobial activities from pickled radish were

26

characterized. The antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity of the compounds from the pickled radish

27

were evaluated. All the results indicated that these phenolic compounds play an important role in

28

pickled radish shelf life than other factors. These phenolic compounds extracted from pickled radish

29

might also be considered be used in other food preservation.

38

purchased from Millipore Co. (Milford, MA). Human liver cell lines (LO2) were obtained from

39

Chinese Academy of Sciences Cell Collection Center (Shanghai, China).

40

2.2. Chemicals

41

We obtained the chemicals from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO): dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO),

42

vitamin

C

(L-ascorbic

acid),

2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl

43

3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). We purchased DMEM-high

44

glucose medium, antibiotics (streptomycin and penicillin), and fetal bovine serum (FBS) through

45

HyClone (Northbrook, IL). Total antioxidant capacity assay kit for FRAP and ABTS assay was

46

purchased from Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology (Haimen, China). All other reagents were 5

(DPPH),

and

47

analytical grade and purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co. (Shanghai, China). A

48

Milli-Q reagent water system, which was obtained from Millipore Co. (Milford, MA), produced

49

deionized water.

50

2.3. Preparation of crude extract

51

Pickled radish was air-dried at 40 ℃ for 24 h, and was then extracted with methanol, acetone,

52

and ethyl acetate for 12 h. The extraction solution was passed through membrane filter to remove

53

insoluble. Then the extraction solution was vacuumed evaporated to obtain crude extracts at 40 ℃.

54

The antimicrobial activities were measured by oxford cup method.

55

2.4. Purification and identification of antimicrobial compounds from the crude extract

56

Gel column chromatography: Methanol extract was dissolved in a small amount of methanol,

57

loaded on pretreated Sephadex LH-20 gel column, using methanol as eluent, according to the

58

sample amount to control velocity within the limits of 10-15 s/drop. Fractions were collected every

59

30 min in a collection tube by automatic fraction collector. All fractions were analyzed by TLC and

60

pooled separately according to the results of TLC analysis. Antimicrobial activity of the pooled

61

fractions was measured by oxford cup method as described later. Fractions with antimicrobial

62

activity were further purified; however, fractions without antimicrobial activity were not further

63

purified.

64

Reversed phase silica gel column chromatography: After LH-20 gel column chromatography

65

separation, fractions with antimicrobial activities were filtrated through membrane filter and

66

vacuumed evaporated. Fractions were dissolved in methanol, then subjected to the MPLC (RP-18)

67

for further isolation with water and methanol. All fractions were collected and vacuumed

68

evaporated at 40 ℃, and were then dissolved with appropriate amount of methanol for TLC

69

analysis and antimicrobial activity assay. 6

70

Silica gel column chromatography: Fractions with antimicrobial activities were further purified in

71

a silica gel column with petroleum ether and acetone as the eluent solvent. Elution fractions was

72

pooled according to TLC analysis and then vacuumed evaporated at 40 ℃ for further instrumental

73

analysis.

74

Instrumental Analysis: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra from samples were obtained in

75

CDCl3 by a Bruker AVANCE III HD 400MHz (Bruker Biospin GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany). We

76

reported chemical shifts (δ) in units of parts per million (ppm) versus tetramethylsilane. We

77

corrected chemical shift to residual solvent signal, 7.26 ppm. Mass spectrometry was acquired by

78

Xevo™ G2 Q Tof (Waters MS Technologies, Manchester, UK), a quadrupole and orthogonal

79

acceleration time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometer. The carrier solvent for flow injection analysis

80

was methanol. The scan range was from 50 to 1000 m/z for both positive and negative electrospray

81

modes. All the acquisition and analysis of data were controlled by Waters Mass Lynx v4.1 software,

82

respectively.

83

2.5. Determination of antioxidant activity

84

We measured the antioxidant activity by DPPH assay (Yang et al., 2006; Luo et al., 2009). A

85

DPPH solution (0.25 mM; 99 µL) in methanol was added to each compound’s solution (1 µL). We

86

used L-ascorbic acid (100 µM) as the positive control. We measured the absorption at OD517 nm

87

after 30 min, and obtained the inhibitory effect using the formula: (1)

88

89

We measured total antioxidant capacity using an assay kit of ferric reducing ability of plasma

90

(FRAP) (Benzie and Strain, 1996; Benzie and Szeto, 1999). Prepare the working solution through

91

fully mixing 2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl)-s-triazine (TPTZ) diluents with TPTZ solution in a ratio of 10:1,

7

92

followed by mixing with detection buffer in equal quantities with TPTZ solution, and finally

93

incubated at 37 ℃ before use. Standard curve was prepared by Trolox in order to calculate Trolox

94

equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) values (mM/g). 5 µL of compounds solution with different

95

concentrations were mixed with 180 µL working solution, which were incubated at 37 ℃ for 5

96

min. We measured absorbance at 593 nm from mixture.

97

Total antioxidant capacity was measured by 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic

98

acid) (ABTS) assay kit (Luo et al., 2012; Zhao et al., 2015). We produced the working solution

99

through mixing stock ABTS solution with stock oxidant solution in equal quantities, and the stock

100

solutions reacted for 12-16 h in the dark. Then, the stock solutions were diluted 40 times with PBS

101

to get working solution, and subsequently 10 µL of compounds (50 µg/mL) solution were mixed

102

with 200 µL working solution. At 6 min after incubation at room temperature, we measured

103

absorbance with 734 nm, and expressed results as TEAC mM/g.

104

2.6. Microbial cultures and antimicrobial assay

105

We evaluated antimicrobial effects of compounds on Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and

106

Canidia albicans, which were purchased from China General Microbiological Culture Collection

107

Center (CGMCC). E. coli and B. subtilis were grown in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium at 37 ℃, and

108

C. albicans was cultured in potato dextrose agar medium at 27 ℃. The antimicrobial assay of

109

compounds was performed by the oxford cup method (Soković et al., 2010; Huang et al., 2012).

110

The bacterial suspensions were inoculated to soft agar media to a final concentration of 1.0 × 105

111

CFU/mL. After the soft agar medium is solidified, the oxford cup containing compounds solution,

112

negative control (methanol), and positive control (chloromycetin and amphotericin B) were placed

113

on the agar plates. After 24 h incubation, the diameter of the inhibition zones was measured.

114

2.7. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of compounds 8

115

Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of compounds were determine by broth

116

micro-dilution method (Golestani et al., 2015; Wu et al., 2015). In 96-well microplates, we prepared

117

the compounds (2-fold serial dilutions) and positive control. Take a few colonies from the agar plate

118

for creating the inoculum by a sterile swab, and dilute the McFarland standard into media. Dispense

119

the inocula with the test compounds, which were incubated for 24 h at 27 or 37 ℃. Determine the

120

MIC value by reading the microdilution plate. The lowest concentration with no visible growth and

121

with ∆OD less than 0.05 was defined as minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).

122

2.8. Cytotoxicity assay

123

Cells were cultured at 37 ℃ with 5 % CO2. The medium was changed every 2 days. The

124

cytotoxicity

of

compounds

to

LO2

cells

was

determined

by

125

3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay (Mosmann, 1983). LO2

126

cells were seeded into a 96-well plate at 104 cells per well. After 24 h, the cells were incubated with

127

the compounds at serial dilutions for additional 24 h incubation. Add 10 µL MTT stock solution (5

128

mg/mL) to each well at 37 ℃ for 4 h. A negative control was prepared by mixing 10 µL of the

129

MTT stock solution and 100 µL of medium alone, and was incubated at 37 ℃ for 4 h. Add 50 µL

130

of DMSO to each well and mix thoroughly using the pipette. Incubate the microplate at 37 ℃ for

131

10 min. Mix each sample again using a pipette and read absorbance at 540 nm.

132

2.9. Statistical analysis

133

Statistical analysis of the data (mean ± SD) was performed using t one-way ANOVA and

134

Duncan test (SPSS statistics 17.0 software program). The present study considered P < 0.05 for

135

significantly different between groups.

3. Results and Discussion 9

138

3.1. Characterization for purified compounds

139

Compound 1 was obtained as a beige powder and was soluble in methanol, acetone, ethyl

140

acetate, and chloroform. In 1H NMR spectra data from compound 1, there were 3 signals: 1 Me

141

[δ(H) 2.75 (s)] and 2 aromatic CH groups [δ(H) 6.41(d), 7.24(d)] (Table 1). In 13C NMR spectrum

142

from compound 1, there were 6 signals: a Me, 2 CH, and 3 quaternary carbons. 1H and

143

data suggested that there was a symmetry trisubstituted aromatic ring. There was [M-H]- with m/z =

144

151.0393 in HR-ESI mass spectrum data, suggesting a molecular formula C8H8O3. Based on all the

145

information of compound 1, we elucidated this structure as 2,6-dihydroxyacetophenone (DHAP)

146

(Fig. 1).

13

C NMR

147

Compound 2 was a colorless oily compound and soluble in methanol, chloroform, DMSO,

148

acetone, ethyl acetate, and water. In 1H NMR spectra from compound 2 (Table 1), there were 2 CH2

149

moieties [δ(H) 2.82 (t), 3.82 (t)] and 2 aromatic CH groups [δ(H) 6.79(d), 7.11(d)]. In

150

(DEPT) spectrum from compound 2, there were 6 signals: 2 CH2, CH, and 2 quaternary carbons,

151

suggesting that there was a symmetry disubstituted aromatic ring. The HR-ESI mass spectrum data

152

displayed [M-H]- with m/z = 137.0603, suggesting a molecular formula C8H10O2. Based on all data,

153

the structure of compound 2 was elucidated as 4-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol (4-HPEA) (Fig. 1).

13

C NMR

154

Compound 3 was a white powder and soluble in methanol, DMSO, ethyl acetate, chloroform,

155

and water. 1H NMR spectra of compound 3 showed 2 aromatic CH groups [δ(H) 6.79(d), 7.11(d)]

156

and aldehyde group proton (Table 1). 13C NMR spectrum from compound 3 displayed two CH and

157

three quaternary carbons, suggesting that there was a symmetry disubstituted aromatic ring. HR-ESI

158

mass spectrum data displayed [M-H]- with m/z = 121.0287, suggesting a molecular formula C7H6O2.

159

We elucidated this structure (compound 3) as 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, C7H6O2 (HBA) (Fig. 1).

160

3.2. Antioxidant activity of the purified compounds 10

161

More than one type of antioxidant activity determination needs to be performed to investigate

162

the various modes of action of antioxidants (Prior et al., 1999; Huang et al., 2005; Dudonne et al.,

163

2009). We determined free radical scavenging rate using assays of DPPH and ABTS, while ferric

164

reducing ability was measured by FRAP assay. Results are showed in Fig. 2 and 3.

165

In DPPH assay, the antioxidant is single-electron paired with DPPH free radicals to make its

166

strong absorption at 517 nm gradually disappear, and its degree of fading is quantitatively related to

167

the number of electrons accepted. Each of these 3 compounds was tested with same concentration

168

(2 mg/mL) by the DPPH analysis. It was demonstrated that these three phenolic compounds

169

possessed different degree of antioxidant activity. DHAP had the highest antioxidant activity

170

(66.21 %) which was close to the capability of VC (97.13 %). The higher activity of DHAP was due

171

to the amount of hydroxyl groups within phenyl ring which can be donated to stabilize the free

172

radicals (Rice-Evans et al., 1996). 4-HPEA also showed relatively good free radical scavenging

173

ability. HBA did not show strong effects.

174

In FRAP assay, the antioxidant could reduce Fe3+ into Fe2+ which can combine with TPTZ for

175

forming a blue complex with light absorption (593 nm). High absorbance indicates strong reducing

176

ability and antioxidant activity. Because the FRAP method is not aimed at free radical scavenging

177

ability, but the total reducing ability of the sample, which can be used to reflect the total antioxidant

178

activity of the sample (Benzie and Strain, 1996; Pulido et al., 2000; Halvorsen et al., 2002). Similar

179

to the trend of DPPH radical scavenging results, DHAP showed the greatest antioxidant activity

180

among three phenolic compounds, which had the capacity equivalent to 0.188 mM Trolox and its

181

total antioxidant capacity was 0.752 mM/g. Antioxidant activity difference of these three

182

compounds may depend on the degree of hydroxylation and extent of conjugation (Pulido et al.,

183

2000) In addition, the reducing ability is connected to redox potentials of compounds while 11

184

phenolic compounds usually possess lower redox potentials (Simic and Jovanović, 1994; Hagerman

185

et al., 1998).

186

Unlike the DPPH free radical scavenging principle, the principle of ABTS assay is the electron

187

transfer process, which is more reactive than DPPH free radicals (Gil et al., 2000; Prieto et al.,

188

2015). In this assay, DHAP and 4-HPEA still showed higher antioxidant activity than HBA which

189

possess only one phenolic hydroxyl group. The relationship of structure-antioxidant capacity was

190

similar as DPPH radical scavenging activity as discussed previously. The ABTS radical cation

191

scavenging capacities of three compounds were showed in the decreasing order: 4-HPEA, DHAP,

192

and HBA. Furthermore, the capacity of both DHAP and 4-HPEA had significantly higher capacity

193

than VC which was used as positive control (P < 0.001).

194

3.3. Inhibition of microbial growth by three phenolic compounds from pickled radish

195

The results of the antimicrobial activity of the compounds are presented in Fig. 4 and Table 2.

196

DHAP and HBA had high antimicrobial activity against E. coli with inhibition zones of 25.93-23.67

197

mm and 22.77-19.83 mm, respectively. For B. subtilis, DHAP and HBA had inhibition zones of

198

25.39-21.87 mm and 17.36-11.51 mm, respectively. DHAP and HBA also inhibited the growth of C.

199

albicans with inhibition zones of 26.31-18.15 mm and 23.28-15.66 mm, respectively. However,

200

4-HPEA did not have effects on these three bacteria by the Oxford cup method. DHAP showed the

201

lowest MIC at 0.25 mg/mL, 0.06 mg/mL, and 0.03 mg/mL against E. coli, B. subtilis, and C.

202

albicans, respectively. HBA was demonstrated to have higher MIC at 1.25 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL, and

203

0.32 mg/mL. In contrast, 4-HPEA had the highest MIC (2.5 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL, and 1.25 mg/mL).

204

Microorganisms often have significant impact on food safety and organoleptic features during

205

food storage (Lv et al., 2011). The antimicrobial activity of phenolic compounds may involve

206

various modes of action. For instance, phenolic compounds can degrade cell walls, destroy the 12

207

plasma membrane, cause cellular components to leak, alter fatty acid and phospholipid components,

208

affect DNA and RNA synthesis, and disrupt protein translocations (Shan et al., 2007). Phenolic

209

compounds in plant were reported to have antimicrobial properties (Pereira et al., 2007;

210

Smith-Palmer et al., 2010; Qin et al., 2019). Grape seeds and bagasse extract rich in phenolic

211

compounds can also have antimicrobial effects against Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus cereus,

212

and other microorganisms (Baydar et al., 2004). These three phenolic compounds were isolated

213

from pickled radish for the first time. Two of them (DHAP and HBA) possessed antimicrobial

214

activity against the three pathogenic bacteria. These phenolic compounds are the main component

215

of antimicrobial activities in the pickled radish. These phenolic compounds also contribute to

216

extend the shelf life of pickled radish as antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds naturally

217

produced. These three phenolic compounds might also be used as potential natural additives in

218

other food products to extend the shelf life.

219

3.4. Safety evaluation of compounds using LO2 cells

220

To confirm cytotoxicity of DHAP, 4-HPEA, and HBA on LO2 cells, cell viability was assessed

221

by MTT assay. After cells were treated with a series of concentrations of three compounds for 24 h.

222

The results demonstrated that as the increasing concentration of DHAP and HBA, LO2 cell viability

223

gradually decreased while 4-HPEA did not significantly affect cell viability (Fig. 5). 200 µg/mL and

224

400 µg/mL of DHAP, 400 µg/mL and 800 µg/mL of HBA were significantly toxic to LO2 cell with

225

viability decreased to about 85.24 %, 62.70 %, 92.90 %, and 80.16 %, respectively (**P < 0.01 and

226

***P < 0.001). According to the results, the IC50 of three compounds on LO2 were calculated. The

227

IC50 of DHAP, 4-HPEA, and HBA showed as 0.546 mg/mL, 26.073 mg/mL, and 1.368 mg/mL,

228

respectively. These three phenolic compounds do not show significant toxic effects at low

229

concentrations, which means pickled radish is safe as a daily food. 13

230

3.5. Future research directions

231

Although these three compounds in this study have been evaluated in several in vivo models in

232

the previous studies (Kanchanapoo et al., 2006; Jang et al., 2014; Kang et al., 2017), antioxidant or

233

antibacterial effects from these three compounds still needs to be further studied in future research

234

in the in vivo models. Previous studies have indicated that phenolic compounds may have the

235

potential to improve diabetes, which was also supported by several natural product development

236

studies (Mollica et al., 2017a and 2017b; Picot et al., 2017). Moreover, phenolic compounds from

237

plants display protection against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative damage (Ju et al., 2012), and

238

also show anti-inflammatory effects in HT29 and PC3 cells (Kogiannou et al., 2013). More studies

239

need to evaluate the other biological functions of these phenolic compounds in this research.

240 241

4. Conclusions

242

All results indicated pickled radish had antioxidant and antimicrobial phenolic compounds,

243

which might contribute to the preservation of this product during long term storage. To the best of

244

our knowledge, this report is the first to answer partially the question of why pickled foods can be

245

kept at room temperature for years without spoilage based on the evidence of three phenolic

246

compounds. The results from this study are also expected to help scientists in the future direction

247

for exploring other potential biological activities in three phenolic compounds.
