    detected in the grass, such as 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadiene, 3,7-

    dimethyl-2-octene, 2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene and menth-1-

    ene. To study the impact of rumen fermentation on the

    monoterpenes, a model plant, cow parsnip Heracleum

    Introduction

    Terpenes are secondary natural plant metabolites. Many of them are

    bioactive constituents of medicinal herbs, some show antimicrobial activity

    1,2).Manyterpenesexhibit characteristic odors and

    tastes,

    e.g. in essential

    oils,

    fruits, vegetables and

    culinary

    herbs. In

    milk

    and cheese, however,terpeneshave

    not been described among the character impact compounds. Table I lists the

    important aroma-active compounds of SwissGruyre cheese, a hard

    cheese

    whichis highly appreciated in Europe.Accordingto Rychlikand Bosset

    3,4)

    the most

    potent

    odorants of Gruyere cheese, whichare characterized by high

    odor activity values, are sulfur-containing components derived from the amino

    acidmetabolism of the ripening cultures, such as methanethiol, methional and

    dimethyltrisulfide,

    aswellas phenylaceticacidand 2- and 3-methylbutanal.

    However, terpenes

    are useful markers to determine the

    origin

    of dairy

    products such as

    milk

    and cheese, i.e. to discriminate between highland and

    lowland produce. Theterpeneprofile proves a useful authenticity marker for

    products with a protected designation of

    origin,

    so-called PDO products as

    described by Zeppa and co-workers (5),Buchinand co-workers

    6),

    and very

    recently byCornuand co-workers (7).

    Mariaca and co-workers

    8)

    investigated the volatile mono- and

    sesquiterpenoids in different highland and lowland plant species. Theycould

    show

    that

    highland

    pastures

    show a wide variety of different plant species. In

    particular dicotyledonous plants usually

    rich

    in terpenoids are more abundant in

    highland

    compared to lowland

    pastures.

    The latter are often composed of plant

    species containing less dicotyledons and thus, are poor in

    terpenes.

    Bosset and

    co-workers (9) compared hard

    cheese

    produced in the highlands to hard

    cheese

    of the lowlands and found statistically significant differences in the chemical

    composition

    such as

    terpenes,

    fatty acids and triglycerides between the highland

    andlowland

    cheeses.

    Only

    little,

    however, is known about the influence of

    rumen

    fermentation on

    the monoterpenes

    present

    in plants and the changes they undergo from

    pasture

    to

    cheese. The objective of the

    present

    study was to

    trace

    the monoterpene

    composition

    of fresh grass,

    milk

    and a Raclette-type

    cheese

    produced from the

    milk

    using dynamic

    headspace

    (purge + trap, P+T) gas chromatography in

    combination

    with

    mass

    spectrometry (GC-MS) .

    Toour knowledge this is the first study to investigate the influenceo frumen

    fermentation on the degradation of monoterpenes

    present

    in a model plant

    commonly

    found on

    pastures.

    The results of the

    invitro

    studywillbe compared

    to the

    volatiles

    found

    in milk

    and in cheese.

    A

    chiralstationaryphasewas employed to study whether the enantiomeric

    ratiosofthe monoterpenes found

    in

    pasture

    are maintained

    in milk

    and in cheese,

    and to investigate the impact of the bovine rumen microflora on the

    terpene

    Experimental

    Materials

    The freshgrass

    samples

    originated from six alps in the Canton of

    Vaud,

    Switzerland,near the villages of LesMoulins and

    L Et ivaz ,

    at

    altitudes

    from

    1400 to 1920 m. They

    were

    collected at the end of August 2003. Seven alps

    located around LesMoulins(Canton of

    Vaud,

    Switzerland,

    altitudes

    of the alps:

    1400 to 1900 m) provided the cow's milk (one sample

    each),

    and one Raclette-

    type

    cheeseinvestigated in thepresentstudy had

    been

    produced from thesame

    milk. Cow parsnip

    Heracleumsphondylium

    L.) was collected twice, in mid-

    August

    2003

    near Schwarzenburg (Canton of Berne, Switzerland, altitude

    around 700 m) and at the end of August

    2003

    in La Fretaz

    near

    St.

    Croix

    in the

    Swiss Jura (Canton of

    Vaud,

    Switzerland, altitude around 1200 m). The

    grass,

    the milkand the cow parsnip

    samples were

    pooled to form composite samples.

    The

    samples were kept

    frozen at -20 C

    before

    use.

    Rumen

    fluidwas collectedfrom3 healthy cows aged between 5 and 8 years

    withanartificialfistula connected to the rumen. The cows had been fedwithhay

    ad

    libitumfor two weeks prior to the study.

    The composite

    grass

    sample (5 g) was roughly chopped and mixedwith

    Mil l iQ

    water (100 mL) in a Polytron PT 3000 mixer (Kinematica,

    Littau,

    Switzerland)

    at 10000 rpm for 2 min. The suspension (2 mL) was dilutedwith

    Mil l iQ

    water (100

    mL )

    and 2 mL of the diluted suspension were pipetted into a

    25 mL non-fritted sparger (Schmidlin, Neuheim, Switzerland) for the P+T

    analysis.

    Cow parsnip (2 g) was ground and suspended in

    phosphate

    buffer pH

    6.6 (30 mL) at the

    same

    pH as the rumen fluidaccording to

    10).

    Rumen fluid

    (15

    mL )

    was added and the suspension incubated at 39 C for 24 h in a shaking

    mixer

    under argon atmosphere to prevent

    oxidation.

    The suspension (1

    Milk (20 mL) was directly pipetted into the sparger for

    subsequent

    P+T

    analysis.The Raclette-type

    cheese

    wasfinelygrated and 5 g were weighed into a

    beaker, mixedwith Mil l iQ water (45 mL) and homogenized at 10000 rpm

    (Polytron)for 2 min. Immediately after homogenization the sample (2 g) was

    weighed into a sparger.

    reference terpenes(Fluka, Buchs, Switzerland). The

    terpene

    metabolites were

    tentatively identified based upon comparison of their mass spectra

    with

    commercial

    mass spectrometrydatabasesand retention indices in the literature.

    Single ion monitoring (SIM) of the ionsm/z93, 95, 119, 70, or 69 for the

    monoterpenes and the

    terpene

    metabolites, respectively, was employed for

    semiquantitation comparing their peak heights before and after incubationwith

    rumen fluid. The ionsm/z136 and 93 were selected asqualifier ions for the

    monoterpenes and their metabolites, respectively. The samples were analyzed

    once. The software SPSS version 11(SPSS Inc.,Chicago, IL) was used for

    correlating the degradation of

    (-)-p-ocimene,

    8-3-careneandP-myrcene and

    the formation of menth-l-ene, 3,7-dimethyl-l,6-octadiene and 3,7-dimethyl-2-

    octene. Except for the

    correlation

    the data were not

    statistically

    treated.

    Resultsand

    Discussion

    The

    grass

    sample consisted of

    plants

    ofvariousfamiliesas described in (6),

    i.e.

    Apiaceae,

    Asteraceae,Campanulaceae,Rosaceae,Fabaceae, Gerania

    Lamiaceae, Plantaginaceae,

    Ranunculaceae, Polygonaceae,

    Rubiaceae,

    also

    Poaceae,thefamilyto

    which

    commongrassbelongs. The term "grass" will

    be used for the mixture of the mentioned plant species. The monoterpene

    composition of fresh grass was analyzed by dynamic headspace gas

    chromatography-mass spectrometry using achiralstationary phase.

    P

    -Myrcene,

    p-cymene, the two enantiomers (+)- and (-)-limonene, -)-P-ocimeneand (Z)-

    P

    -ocimene, y-terpinene and

    -)-ot

    -pinene were the predominant monoterpenes in

    thegrasssamples analyzed (data not shown). Figure 1 depicts the structures of

    the monoterpenes detected in the present study. Sabinene, cc-thujene,

    (+)-a-

    pinene, a-phellandrene, the two enantiomers -)-P-pinene and+)-P-pinene, and

    oc-terpinolene were only minor components. Table II compares the

    monoterpenoids found infreshgrass, in milk,andinthe Raclette-type cheese.

    In

    the

    milk

    samples collected

    from

    farms

    from

    the

    same

    sites the additional

    monoterpenes a-terpinene,

    8-3-carene

    as well as a-phellandrene and

    (-)-camphene were detected as minor constituents, however, no )-P

    -ocimene

    was found. Interestingly, the analysis revealed further monoterpenoids

    tentatively identifiedas 3,7-dimethyl-l,6-octadiene, 2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene,

    3,7-dimethyl-2-octene, and camphane. These monoterpenoids had beenabsentin

    fresh grass. In the Raclette-typecheeseproducedfromthe milk basically the

    same

    monoterpenes were found as inmilk,except for 8-3-carene.

    Additionally,

    2-carene, )-P

    -ocimene

    and the tentatively identified menth-l-ene were

    detected.

    Incubationof cow parsnip

    with

    rumen fluid

    The

    exclusive presence of the dimethyl octadienes, menth-l-ene and the

    other tentatively identified compounds in

    milk

    andcheeseraised the hypothesis

    that

    thesecompounds might have been formed during rumen fermentation.Many

    of

    the monoterpenes shown in Figure show two orthreedouble bonds, whereas

    3,7-dimethyl-l,6-octadiene, 2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene, 3,7-dimethyl-2-octene,

    camphane and menth-l-ene have two oronlyone double bond. Hydrogenation

    duringrumen fermentation might beinvolved intheirformation.The rumen

    flora

    is

    known to be strictly anaerobic. It produces hydrogen among other

    gases

    and

    biohydrogenation

    reactions convert e.g. unsaturated fatty acids into saturated

    fatty acids (77). Cow parsnip,Heracleumsphondylium L., was selected as a

    modelto investigate a potential correlation between the degradation of certain

    monoterpenes and the formation of the above-mentioned compounds. Cow

    parsnip belongs to thefamilyApiaceae,is found abundantly inpasturesandrich

    in

    terpenoids as described by

    Mariaca

    and co-workers (8).

    Ground

    cow parsnip was incubated

    with

    rumen

    fluid

    over 24 h and monitor

    the changes in its monoterpene composition.After 12 h of fermentation all

    monoterpenes were at least partially degraded. The rate and extent of

    degradation varied for the different compounds. Figure 2 illustrates the

    degradation of selected monoterpenes after 12 h ofincubation.

    (Z)-(J-ocimene,

    )-P

    -ocimene, a-phellandrene and P-myrcene were

    completelyor almost completely degraded,whilearound 40 % of (+)-limonene

    and p-cymene, and 20 to 35 % of most other monoterpenes remained after 12 h

    of

    incubation.

    During incubationwith rumen fluid the formation of the monoterpenoid

    compounds

    that

    had been detected in

    milk

    and incheesewas observed. The

    extent andrateof formation ofthesecompounds varied, as itcouldbe seen for

    the degradation

    of

    the different monoterpenes.

    Statisticallysignificant (p < 0.05) negative correlations were found for the

    degradation of()-p-ocimeneand the co-eluting8-3-careneand the p-myrcene

    and the formation of menth-l-ene, 3,7-dimethyl-l,6-octadiene and 3,7-dimethyl-

    2-octene. )-P

    -Ocimene,

    8-3-carene andP-myrcene were almost completely

    and rapidly degraded during the first 8 h ofincubation.Menth-l-ene increased

    steadily

    during the first 8 h ofincubation,then was

    slowly

    degradedfrom8 to

    12 h of rumen fermentation.

    After

    12 h the menth-l-ene signal intensity dropped

    rapidlyover the next 4 h as shownin Figure3.

    The

    formation of 3,7-dimethyl-l,6-octadiene began after 2 h of rumen

    fermentation and reached its maximum after 8 h. Then it degraded slightly.At

    first in parallel to 3,7-dimethyl-l,6-octadiene, but after 4 h of incubationonly,

    the onset of 3,7-dimethyl-2-octenecouldbe observed. The peak signal increased

    rapidlyafter 12 hofrumen fermentation.

    The formation of the newly formed compounds may be explained by

    hydrogenation reactions by the rumenflora or by enzymes

    present

    in the rumen

    Raclette-type cheese samples. A further hydrogenation of 2,6-dimethyl-2,6-

    octadiene

    yields

    3,7-dimethyl-2-octene.

    Conclusions

    The monoterpene composition offreshgrass,milk,and

    cheese

    was analyzed

    by dynamic

    headspace G C - M S .

    It was shownthat milk and

    cheese

    revealed

    additional

    monoterpenes which had not been detected in the

    grass

    samples. A

    model

    plant, cow parsnip,

    Heracleumsphondylium

    L., was incubated

    in

    vitro

    with rumen

    fluid

    to investigate for the first time the relationship between the

    degradation of monoterpenes and the formation of

    these

    additional

    monoterpenoids. The monoterpenes of cow parsnip were at least partially

    degraded during incubation with rumen

    fluid

    and 3,7-dimethyl-l,6-octadiene,

    3,7-dimethyl-2-octene, 2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene
