Isobaric labeling of the peptides was accomplished with 6-plex TMT reagents (Thermo Scientific). Reagents, 0.8 mg, were dissolved in 40 μl acetonitrile (ACN), and 10 μl of the solution was added to 100 μg of peptides dissolved in 100 μl of 50 mM HEPES, pH 8.5. We found that the generation of unidentified and unwanted side reaction products – singly charged ions with m/z of 303.26, 317.26, and 331.29 – was prevented by using a 200 mM HEPES pH 8.5 buffer instead of the triethylammonium bicarbonate (TEAB) buffer recommended by the manufacturer. After 1 h at room temperature, the reaction was quenched by adding 8 μl of 5% hydroxylamine. Yeast peptides were labeled with all six reagents (126–131), human peptides were labeled with reagents 126, 127, and 128. Labeled peptides from yeast and human were separately mixed in the ratios described in the main manuscript and subjected to C18 SPE on Sep-Pak cartridges. After individual LC-MS2 analysis of both samples (
To determine whether different types of filters would influence the recovery rates of analytes, each standard (5 ng) was added into a 1.5-mL tube, mixed with the same amount of cold extraction buffer, vigorously shaken on a shaking bed, and centrifuged as described above. The samples were then filtered using a nylon filer or a syringe-facilitated 13-mm diameter cellulose filter with pore size 0.22 μm (MCE; Navigator Lab Instrument Co., Ltd, Tianjing, China). The filtrates were dried and then dissolved in methanol as described above.
For comparison, samples were also prepared using a solid-phase extraction procedure [16 (link)]. In brief, ground sample powder was mixed with 2 ml extraction buffer and shaken on a shaking bed for 16 h as for the above-described preparation for crude extraction, and then centrifuged at 3500 g for 15 min at 4°C for collecting the supernatant. The supernatant was purified using a C18-SepPak cartridge (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA, USA) by a series of steps. The purified sample was dried by evaporation and then dissolved in 200 μL of methanol as described above for preparation for the crude extraction.

The present example described the preparation of an HMG glucoside for use in a flavor composition through the hydrolysis of cocoa bean liquor made from West African cocoa beans.
Reagents: A solution of 4N HCl was prepared by adding 100 mL 34-37% HCl in a 250 mL volumetric flask and filling it with water. A solution of 4N NaOH was prepared by dissolving 80 g NaOH pellets in 500 mL of water in a volumetric flask.
Method: Cocoa liquor was run through a sieve and 30.09 g of fine powder was weighed into a 500 mL 3-neck round-bottom flask. The liquor was dissolved in 4N HCl (200 mL) and a stir bar was added to the flask. The sample was stirred at room temperature until the liquor was fully dispersed and flowed freely. A condenser was affixed to the flask and held at 8° C. A digital thermometer was pierced through a rubber stopper to measure the temperature of the solution. The third neck was plugged with a rubber stopper. The flask was wrapped in aluminum foil and heated to approximately 106° C. using a heating mantle. The sample was refluxed for 4.5 hours and left to cool to room temperature. The sample was transferred to a 1 L beaker and neutralized to pH 7 with 4N NaOH using a digital pH meter (pH 6.98 @29° C.). The sample was divided equally into 4 250 mL centrifuge tubes and centrifuged for 10 minutes @ 4500 rpm. The supernatant was filtered under vacuum through a Buchner funnel. The filtrate was then transferred to 2 32 oz plastic containers and lyophilized (yield 52.50 g).

2. Ethanol Extraction of Hydrolyzed Cocoa Powder
-
- The hydrolyzed cocoa powder was extracted with ethanol to remove a bulk of the salts generated during neutralization. Hydrolyzed cocoa powder (50.36 g) was divided equally into 2 500 mL centrifuge tubes. Ethanol (200 mL) was added slowly to each tube as to not disturb the sample. The samples were shaken for 15 minutes on an autoshaker and then centrifuged for 10 minutes @4500 rpm. The supernatant was decanted into a 1000 mL round-bottom flask. The residue was scraped off the bottom of the tubes and redissolved in ethanol (200 mL each). The samples were shaken for 15 minutes on an autoshaker and then centrifuged for 10 minutes @ 4500 rpm. The supernatant was combined with the previous supernatant and evaporated under reduced pressure to remove all organic solvent. The remaining solids were redissolved in approximately 100 mL deionized water and lyophilized.
3. SPE (Solid Phase Extraction) Fractionation of HCP (Hydrolysed Cocoa Powder) Ethanol Extract
-
- The extract previously obtained was further fractionated to exhaustively remove the salts and hydrophilic molecules. HCP ethanol extract was transferred to 14 glass vials (approximately 0.5 g each, 20 mL volume) and dissolved in DI water (10 mL). The samples were shaken until dissolved (approximately 1 minute). The samples were filtered through a syringe and PTFE filter to remove particulates as necessary. A solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge (20 g/60 mL, C18 stationary phase) was conditioned sequentially with DI water (100 mL), methanol (100 mL), and DI water (100 mL). The sample (10 mL) was then loaded onto cartridge and washed with DI water (100 mL) and extracted with methanol (100 mL). The cartridge was reconditioned and the remaining 13 samples were washed and extracted as previously described. The organic solutions were combined and rotary evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was redissolved in DI water and lyophilized using a Labconco freeze dryer. The sample was separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to narrow down the taste-active molecules of interest.
1. Liquid/Solid Extraction of Liquor
-
- Cocoa Liquor made from cocoa beans sourced from Papua New Guinea (PNG liquor) (600 g) was frozen in liquid nitrogen and ground into a fine powder with a laboratory mill. The powder was divided equally into six plastic centrifuge tubes (500 mL volume). Each sample (100 g PNG liquor) was extracted with diethyl ether (200 mL) for 15 minutes using an autoshaker to remove the fat. After centrifugation (10 min, 4500 rpm), the supernatant was discarded. The extraction process was repeated three more times for a total of four times. The remaining defatted liquor was left to air dry in a fume hood overnight. Defatted liquor (200 g) was divided equally between four plastic centrifuge bottles (250 mL volume). To each sample (50 g defatted PNG liquor), 150 mL 70:30 acetone:water was added. The bottles were placed on an autoshaker for 15 minutes. Each sample was centrifuged (5 min, 3500 rpm) and then the supernatant was vacuum filtered using Whatman 540 filter paper and a Buchner funnel. The residue was freed from the bottom of the bottles by hand and additional 70:30 acetone:water (100 mL) was added to each sample. The samples were shaken for 15 minutes using an auto-shaker. After centrifugation (10 min, 4500 rpm), the supernatant was vacuum filtered again using the same procedure described above. The supernatants from each extraction were combined (˜800 mL) and the residue was discarded. The supernatant was rotary evaporated under reduced pressure and the remaining aqueous solution (˜250 mL) was transferred into a separatory funnel (1000 mL volume). The aqueous solution was washed with Dichloromethane (3×300 mL) to remove any xanthines. The dichloromethane layer was discarded, then the aqueous solution was washed sequentially with n-butyl acetate (3×300 mL), ethyl acetate (3×300 mL), and methyl acetate (3×300 mL) to remove procyanidins. The organic layers were discarded and the aqueous solution (F7) was rotary evaporated under reduced pressure to remove any remaining solvent. The remaining water solution was lyophilized using a Labconco freeze dryer (100×103 mbar, −40° C.). Sensory analysis was performed and the savory attribute was found to be in F7.
2. Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)
-
- For removal of any residual salts, treated PNG liquor powder (F7) was transferred to 14 glass vials (20 mL volume, approximately 0.5 g sample in each vial) and dissolved in DI water (10 mL). The samples were shaken until dissolved (approximately 1 minute). A solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge (20 g/60 mL, C18 stationary phase) was conditioned sequentially with DI water (100 mL), methanol (100 mL), and DI water (100 mL). The vacuum was broken and the sample (10 mL) was then loaded onto cartridge. The vacuum was resumed and the sample was washed with DI water (100 mL). The receptacle flask was changed and the sample was extracted with methanol (100 mL). The cartridge was reconditioned and the remaining 13 samples were washed and extracted as previously described. The organic solutions were combined and rotary evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was redissolved in DI water and lyophilized using a Labconco freeze dryer (100×103 mbar, −40° C.). Sensory analysis confirmed the presence of the savory attribute in the organic fraction.
