Dechelation of green chlorophyll to yellow pheophytin Dechelation: In an acidic environment, chlorophyll's green color degrades into a brownish-yellow compound called pheophytin.Mechanism: This occurs as hydrogen ions ((H^{+})) from the acid replace the central magnesium ((Mg^{2+})) ion in the chlorophyll molecule. This change in the molecule's structure shifts the pigment, resulting in the olive-brown or yellowish color.Example: This is a common process in food science, where vegetables lose their vibrant green color during cooking or pickling due to the presence of acids. Lactic acid fermentation, which lowers the pH, also drives this chemical reaction. Fermentation by yeast Process: Yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces cerevisiae) can ferment plant material, consuming sugars and producing organic acids, carbon dioxide, and other compounds.Nutritional enhancement: As part of this process, yeast can increase the nutritional quality of food. This includes synthesizing B vitamins (especially B9 and B12 in fortified versions) and breaking down complex molecules into more bioavailable nutrients.Polyphenol synthesis: During fermentation, microorganisms can also secrete enzymes that alter the plant's existing polyphenols. This can release bound phenolic compounds, modify their structure, and produce new, smaller phenolic molecules that have enhanced bioactivity. Ascorbate metabolism Limited synthesis: While yeasts are known to produce various vitamins, the industrial production of ascorbic acid ((C_{6}H_{8}O_{6})) or vitamin C typically involves a two-step fermentation process by specific bacteria, not yeast alone.Degradation in plants: In plants, L-ascorbic acid and other phenolic compounds degrade during fermentation, particularly in anaerobic solid-state fermentation. Proposed integrated process and outcome Based on the described steps, here is how the integrated process would likely unfold and what the final product would be: Preparation: Green plant material containing chlorophyll is shredded and salted.Lactic acid fermentation: The natural sugars in the plant material are fermented by lactic acid bacteria. This produces organic acids, causing the pH to drop and initiating the dechelation of chlorophyll.Color change: The acidic environment causes the chlorophyll to lose its central magnesium ion and turn into yellowish-brown pheophytin.Yeast and nutrient enhancement: The addition of "nutrition enhanced yeast" would supplement the fermentation, producing B vitamins, including B12, and potentially improving the bioavailability of minerals like zinc and selenium.Antioxidant modification: The yeast's enzymatic activity would release bound polyphenols from the plant's cell walls, increasing the total antioxidant content and bioavailability.Flavor profile: The combination of lactic acid fermentation and yeast activity would result in a complex, tangy flavor profile characteristic of fermented vegetables and other yeast-fermented products. The end result would be a nutritionally dense, yellowish, and sour-tasting fermented food. The sour taste would come from the organic acids produced during fermentation, and the color change from green to yellow would be the result of acid-driven pheophytin formation. The nutritional value would be enhanced by the yeast, increasing its vitamin and mineral content.

High-dose vitamin C blocks HOCl production by Myeloperoxidase: A potential therapeutic strategy

Our observation of methionine oxidation by oxidized ascorbate suggests another potential pathway for the anticancer effects of high-dose vitamin C. Cancer cells are more sensitive to methionine restriction compared to normal cells. This phenomenon, known as methionine auxotrophy [56] —where cancer cells cannot grow without methionine while normal cells remain unaffected—may play a role in the anticancer effects of DHA.
