The structure of the yellow pigment found in salted radish roots was studied. It was found that 1-(2-thioxopyrrolidin-3-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3- carboxylic acid (TPCC) was unstable under neutral pH, and was easily converted into the yellow pigment. The yellow pigment was isolated and identified as 2-[3-(2-thioxopyrrolidin-3-ylidene)methyl]-tryptophan (TPMT) by IR, MS, 1H-, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. In addition, we proved that this compound was the main yellow pigment in salted radish roots. This compound induced no mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100, either with or without prior activation.
研究了盐渍萝卜根
中黄色素的结构。研究发现,1-(2-
硫酮
吡咯烷-3-基)-1,2,3,4-四氢-β-咔啉-3-
羧酸(T
PCC)在中性 pH 值下不稳定,很容易转化成黄色素。通过红外光谱、质谱、1H- 和 13C-NMR 光谱,我们分离并鉴定出这种黄色色素为 2-[3-(2-

吡咯烷-3-亚基)甲基]-色
氨酸(T
PMT)。此外,我们还证明该化合物是盐渍萝卜根中的主要黄色素。无论是否事先活化,该化合物都不会诱发鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 TA98 和 TA100 的致突变性。
