Modeling of neotame and fructose thermochemistry: Comparison with mono and divalent metal ions by Computational and experimental approach.

Abstract：

:The metal complexes can demonstrate various interesting biological activities in the human body. However, the role of certain metal ions for specific cell activities is still subject to debate. This study is aimed at comparing the thermochemical properties of neotame (artificial sweetener) and α, β-fructose in gas phase and water medium. The interaction of α and β-fructose, neotame with monovalent and divalent metal ions was studied and comprehended by density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP functional, 6-311 + G (d, p) and D3 basis set. Metal ion affinities (MIA) values depicted that ionic radius of metal ions played an important role in the interaction of α, β-fructose and neotame. The ∆G parameter was calculated to predict and understand the interaction of metal ions with α and β-fructose, neotame. The results suggested that the presence of hydroxyl groups and oxygen atoms in sugar molecules acted as preferred sites for the binding and interaction of mono and divalent ions. For the first time computational study has been introduced in the present study to review the progress in the application of metal binding with sugar molecules especially with neotame. Moreover, voltammetric behaviour of neotame-Zn2+ was studied using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. The obtained results suggest that the peak at -1.13 V is due to the reduction of Zn2+ in 0.1 M phosphate buffer medium at pH 5.5. Whereas, addition of 6-fold higher concentration of neotame to the ZnCl2.2H2O resulted in a new irreversible cathodic peak at -0.83, due to the reduction of neotame-Zn2+ complex. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results indicates that the β-amino group (-NH) and carboxyl carbonyl (-C = O) groups of neotame is participating in the chelation process, which is further supported by DFT studies. The findings of this study identify the efficient chelation factors as major contributors into metal ion affinities, with promising possibilities to determine important biological processes in cell wall and glucose transmembrane transport.
