Endogenous Price Stickiness

and Business Cycle Persistence

Abstract

This paper presents a model with imperfect information and price stickiness. In the model, both imperfect information and nominal price rigidity allow nominal shocks to act as business cycle impulses, but only sticky prices propagate the real effects

of nominal shocks over time. The model indicates that high rates of inflation lead

to less nominal price rigidity, and hence less persistent fluctuations of output about trend. Estimation of the model, as well as simple autocorrelations of detrended

real output, indicate that indeed output fluctuations about trend are less persistent in high inflation economies.These results lend little support to equilibrium business cycle models in which the persistence of output fluctuations is explained through

persistent real shocks, capital accumulation, or capital and labor adjustment costs JEL Codes: E32, E31

Accordingly we find, that, in every kingdom, into which money begins to flow in greater abundance than formerly, every thing takes a new face: labour and industry gain life... This is not easily to be accounted for, if we consider only the influence which a greater abundance of coin has in the kingdom itself, by heightening the price of commodities... To account, then, for this phenomenon, we must consider,that though the high price of commodities be a necessary consequence of the encrease of gold and silver, yet it follows not immediately upon that increase... At first, no alteration is perceived; by degrees the price rises, first of one commodity,then of another...

David Hume (1752)1The two most prominent explanations over the past 25 years for the real output effects of nominal aggregate demand fluctuations are anticipated in the last line quoted from Hume:imperfect information about nominal fluctuations (as emphasized by Lucas (1973,1987)), and short-run nominal rigidities. The model presented below integrates both imperfect information and sticky prices in a single framework endogenously through costly information and costs of nominal price adjustment. The model emphasizes the importance of both imperfect information and sticky prices in determining the impact of nominal shocks on real variables, and the importance of sticky prices in propagating the real effects of nominal shocks through time. Estimation of the model and simple examination of cross-country differences in output persistence both indicate that sticky prices are a more likely explanation for the persistence of the business cycle than neoclassical propagation mechanisms such as capital accumulation or persistent real shocks.

The incorporation of costly information naturally gives rise to imperfect information about monetary movements as posited in the signal extraction models of Lucas (1972,1973), but the real effects of these monetary shocks will be short-lived without a propagation mechanism

significantly more effective than capital accumulation (see, for example, Cooley and Hansen (1995)). Sticky prices provide one such effective propagation mechanism, as has been well demonstrated in, for example, overlapping contracting models such as Taylor (1980). The model below should be viewed as a variant of models such as Taylor (1980) in which sticky prices are the primary propagation mechanism. Unlike Taylor (1980), the model below does not constrain firms to set prices without current information; the level of information firms possess when setting prices depends on whether the firm is willing to spend resources on information acquisition. The combination of information imperfections and nominal rigidity yields a model that nests imperfect information and sticky price models estimated in previous work (Lucas (1973), Ball, Mankiw, and Romer (1988), and Rotemberg (1994) are prominent examples).

The emphasis of the framework developed herein on price stickiness as a propagation mechanism has many precedents, but the central prediction of menu cost models that high inflation reduces price stickiness, and hence should reduce the persistence of output deviations from trend, has not been examined. Estimation of the model provides the first cross-country evidence suggesting that sticky prices are a major business cycle propagation mechanism; simply put, the evidence suggests that persistent deviations of output from trend begin to disappear as average inflation rises because the persistence generating mechanism (sticky prices) disappears. The systematic relationship between inflation and output persistence documented in section III is clearly consistent with a wide class of models in which nominal price rigidity is endogenous (as in the model of section I). It is difficult to reconcile the systematic relationship between inflation and output persistence with models in which prices are perfectly flexible and output persistence is driven by capital accumulation and the persistence of technology shocks, as inflation does not

significantly affect the business cycle dynamics in those models (see Cooley and Hansen (1995) for an example and references).

The paper is organized into four sections. Section I presents a simple model with endogenous information and sticky prices. Section II discusses the role of price stickiness as a propagation mechanism. Section III presents the cross-country empirical results which emphasize how higher inflation reduces the persistence of real output fluctuations through decreases in price stickiness. Section IV concludes.

I. The Model

The model is a variant of Calvo (1983) in which individual firms face a constant probability (hazard) of adjusting their nominal price. This assumption captures the notion of fixed prices at the firm level while allowing for smooth adjustment of the aggregate price level (as a constant hazard model at the firm level leads to partial adjustment at the aggregate level (Rotemberg (1987), Caballero and Engel (1993)). The presentation of Calvo (1983) is altered by endogenizing the probability of price adjustments, thereby allowing for the (average) frequency of adjustment to vary with the parameters driving movements in the fundamentals affecting desired prices (as in Romer (1990)). The model is set in discrete time, which facilitates empirical implementation. The model also incorporates costly information acquisition. While the potential importance of information costs has been acknowledged in the menu cost literature (Ball and Mankiw (1994)), previous information cost models (Caballero (1989) and Andersen (1994)) do not contain any mechanism generating price rigidity, and therefore cannot generate sluggish adjustment to perceived shocks. While highly stylized, the model is a simple framework in which the basic intuition of the menu cost and imperfect information literatures can be captured.

Section A introduces notation, and describes the menu cost and information cost specifications employed. Section B describes the choices of firms within the model.A. Notation

Consider an economy consisting of a continuum of firms (distributed over [0.1]) whose (log) desired nominal prices (x ) depend on the (log) money supply (m ) (i.e. aggregate demand)it t and idiosyncratic demand/supply factors (u ) (i.e. relative price shocks):

it x = m + u .

(1)

it t it The loss from deviations of nominal prices (p ) from desired prices is quadratic,it

(?)K(p -x ) .

(2)it it 2This specification is standard throughout the menu cost literature, and can be derived in a utility maximizing model in which firm/consumers produce differentiated products and the quadratic loss function is a second order approximation to the firm/consumers' indirect utility function.2

To illustrate the intuition behind nominal price rigidity and information acquisition, the money supply and relative price shocks are random walks:

m = μ + m + ,(3)t t-1mt u = u + ,(4)

it it-1 uit

where μ is the mean rate of money growth, and , and , are i.i.d. Normal with mean zero.mt uit A.i. Price Adjustment

Due to a fixed cost of price adjustment F, firms find continual adjustment of nominal prices to be suboptimal. In a model with perfect information, the optimal price adjustment policy for individual firms would be some variant of a state-dependent price adjustment policy, in which

Caballero and Engel (1992,1993) are examples of menu cost models enriched by consideration of state-dependent 3price adjustment.

5

the probability of price adjustment in any period depends on the size of the deviation from the desired price.3

Several problems arise in applying the state-dependent approach in this paper. First,optimal price adjustment policies have been derived only under restrictive assumptions, so that deriving closed form solutions for empirical implementation when money follows a more general process than (3) (as in sections II and III below) is still an open area of research. Moreover, the aggregate implications of these adjustment policies depend on the distribution across price setters of deviations from desired prices. Measuring such a cross-sectional distribution requires highly disaggregated data and hence precludes a large cross-country study (because of missing data). Finally, the optimal adjustment policies studied thus far assume perfect information; the form of optimal adjustment policies in an imperfect information environment like that of this paper requires further research.

To circumvent these problems with a time varying probability of price adjustment, I assume firms choose a constant probability of changing price in any period (B ) (Calvo (1983),Romer (1990)). The choice of B occurs in a period when the firm has the opportunity to change its nominal price, and remains constant until the next opportunity the firm has to change its nominal price (on average 1/B periods after the last price change), at which time a new B can be chosen. The assumption that price changes at the firm level occur in any period with some constant probability captures the notion of fixed prices at the firm level, while allowing for smooth aggregate price level movements (as some firms will adjust in each period). Of course, a constant

B loses some degree of realism; presumably price adjustment is more probable the larger the deviation from desired price, as in state-dependent models. The assumption of a constant B does

allow the model to capture some of the most important features of more general formulations. For example, the average time between price adjustment (1/B) will be lower in economies with higher average inflation/money growth (μ). The hope is that this simplification captures the basic notion of cross-country differences in price rigidity. I will show that the solution of the model encompasses a number of previous models as special cases.

A.ii. Information Acquisition

Information gathering about optimal prices (the state of the money supply and relative price factors) is costly. The "information cost" (cost of determining the optimal relative price) is captured by the assumption that a firm chooses whether to maintain a marketing or "information"

division which determines the current desired price (x) when the firm changes price. To maintain

it

the marketing or information division, the firm must incur a fixed cost (") in each period (in order to hire market analysts). The fixed " differs across firms; specifically, I assume that the fixed cost of an information division to a firm is a constant " (0,") drawn from the distribution G(.). When a firm without an information division changes price, the firm adjusts based on one period lagged information. A firm may choose whether to maintain an information division in those periods when it changes its nominal price, and the decision is then fixed until the firm again changes its nominal price. Under these assumptions, some fraction 1 of firms purchase information and some fraction (1-1) of firms do not purchase information.

As in the discussion of the simplifying assumption regarding a constant probability of price adjustment, the formulation of firms' information decisions is meant to capture in as simple a

framework as possible the notion that firms do not always find the gain from information

acquisition worth the expense by modeling the determinants of the average level of information (1). By focusing only on the average level of information purchased by firms, aggregate implications for output fluctuation differences across countries are derived below which encompass popular alternative models (in particular, this characterization of the information problem facing firms leads to a reduced form identical to that of Lucas (1973)).

B. Price and Information Decisions

Under the above assumptions about the nature and timing of firms’ price adjustment policies and the structure of information costs, firms choose their average frequency of price adjustment (1/B), whether to maintain information divisions, and the nominal price of their product in order to minimize the present discounted value of the losses incurred because of menu

costs, information costs, and the deviation of nominal from desired prices. Denote by I the

adjustment as in period t (so V is the appropriate future value on the right hand side of (5) and

The second and third terms in (10a) are the losses from deviations of desired prices from nominal prices incurred by full information firms because of price rigidity. The fourth term in (10b) is the additional loss from deviations of desired prices from nominal prices incurred by low information firms because of imperfect information. The losses to high and low information firms are increasing in the growth rate of money, and the variance of desired price shocks (F +F ).

z 2The first order condition for B for both types of information firms is identical (as inspection of (10) reveals), indicating that both types of firms will choose the same frequency of price adjustment. Note that the equilibrium values of B and 1 depend on total variability F . The first z 2order condition for B and (11) imply the following proposition:

Proposition I:A. The average length between nominal price adjustments (1/B ) is I) decreasing in

the growth rate of money (μ), and ii) decreasing in the level of variability in desired prices (F ).

z 2B. The amount of information purchased (1) is I) increasing in the level of variability in desired prices (F ).z 2The intuition is straightforward. Result A.i. simply says that as desired prices move more

quickly, adjustment occurs more frequently. Result B.i. states that information is more desirable the more prices fluctuate. Similar intuition applies to A.ii.4

II. Empirical Implications of Imperfect Information and Price Stickiness

The model presented in the previous section can readily be adapted to provide an empirical framework identifying the degree of price stickiness, and the presence of imperfect information, through the relationship between real output and nominal output.

First note that eq. (1) expresses a firm's desired price as a function of nominal aggregate demand (m ) and idiosyncratic factors. Following Lucas (1973), Ball, Mankiw, and Romer t (1988, henceforth BMR), and others, nominal aggregate demand in the model corresponds to nominal output for estimation.

The aggregate price level P is (as discussed for the Calvo model (1983) with exogenous

t frequency of price adjustment by Rotemberg (1987))

The expectations term is an “aggregate expectation” weighting the expectations of

contemporaneous information firms and lagged information firms by their shares in the economy. For example, when nominal aggregate demand or money follows a random walk as in (3), Em =t 1m +(1-1)(m +μ). Thus the reduced form of expectations of nominal aggregate demand is t t-1identical to that of Lucas (1973), where in Lucas (1973) 1 corresponds to imperfect information due to signal extraction by firms.

(15) To examine seriously the empirical implications of the model, a more general time series

process governing nominal aggregate demand than (3) is used:

)m = μ + a)m + , .(13) t+1t t+1

This time series process (AR(2) with a unit root) is often successful at explaining the behavior of macroeconomic https://www.doczj.com/doc/d97423981.html,ing (12), (13), and the accounting identity relating the (logs of)

real output (y), the price level (p), and nominal output (m) (m = y + p) yields the following t t t t t t

equations for real output and inflation (ignoring constants):

where L is the lag operator. Eqs. (14) and (15) describe the time series behavior of inflation (ARMA(2,2)) and output (ARMA(2,1)).

The equation for output (14) encompasses several previous models as special cases. In the absence of price stickiness (B=1) and assuming a random walk for nominal aggregate demand (a=0), (14) corresponds to the Lucas Phillips curve (1973) (as these were Lucas' assumptions), which imparts no serial correlation to real output. When information is perfect (1=1), (14) corresponds to Rotemberg's model of quadratic costs of price adjustment (1994).

Both Lucas and BMR (and others) assume that nominal aggregate demand is a random walk (a=0). Notice that in this case, the persistence of real output movements when running a

regression of (14) is entirely determined by the degree of price stickiness, i.e. 1-B is the coefficient on lagged output. This result emphasizes that price stickiness is an outstanding propagation mechanism. While this result is exploited in certain macroeconometric models (Taylor (1993)), the implication that the persistence of deviations of output from trend should be inversely related to average inflation (which arises when price stickiness (1-B) is endogenous from Proposition I) has not been empirically investigated. The next section explores this implication of the model, and contrasts the results with those of previous authors.

III. Price Stickiness and Output Persistence: Empirical Results

The interesting prediction stemming from (14) is that output fluctuations should be less persistent in countries with flexible prices. The following subsections explore this implication under different assumptions regarding the behavior of nominal output. The first subsection focuses on the relationship between the autocorrelation of real output and the average inflation rate in a country; if price stickiness is lower in high inflation economies, as suggested by the menu cost model of section I, then output fluctuations about trend should be less persistent. As the results of this exercise are encouraging, the following subsections examine the results of estimates of the model for several samples of countries under different assumptions about the behavior of nominal output.

A. Average Inflation and the Autocorrelation in Real Output.

The primary sample of countries considered is the 43 country sample over the period 1948-1986 used by BMR, as their study is a well known example of the work examining the implications of menu cost models for the impact of nominal shocks on output, and I wish to contribute to our understanding of nominal rigidity by exploring the implications of menu costs

for real output persistence. Other samples are considered below. Table 1 reports the first two 5autocorrelations for HP and linearly detrended real output, and the average inflation rate for each country in BMR’s sample. Table 2 reports the correlations between the autocorrelation in real output and the average inflation rate in the economy for various subsamples of BMR’s sample. In the full 43 country sample, the correlations between the degree of persistence in real output and average inflation in the economy is negative and significant at the 5% or 1% level for both HP-filtered and linearly detrended data. I also split the data into non-OECD and OECD samples; this split is designed to address the concern that less developed economies have less persistent business cycles (i.e. commodity cycles vs. investment cycles), and higher inflation on average. The results indicate that even within the non-OECD sample there is significantly less business cycle persistence in high inflation economies. The results for the OECD only sample are mixed;the linearly detrended output autocorrelations are significantly smaller in high inflation economies,but the HP-filtered output autocorrelations are not significantly smaller in the high inflation economies. This sensitivity is unsurprising given the small degree of variation in inflation experience across the OECD. In sum, these correlations strongly suggest less persistence in the fluctuations of real output about trend in high inflation economies, as predicted when sticky prices are endogenous (proposition I), and an important persistence generating mechanism (as in (14)). With these encouraging results in hand, the next section turns more closely to the model.B.

Case 1: a=0.

In this section, the relationship of the degree of price flexibility (B ) to the inflation rate is examined in the BMR sample under the assumption a=0 in (13), as this is the standard assumption

Proposition I suggests that both average inflation and the variability of nominal aggregate demand determine

6*. Unfortunately, the correlation across countries between average inflation and the standard deviation of nominal output growth is very high (0.92 in the BMR sample), so average inflation and variability carry basically the same information. I therefore focus solely on average inflation as a determinant of *; consideration of variability does not change the results in any important way, and reveals that average inflation is more strongly related to * than is variability.

15

in this literature starting with Lucas (1973). Imposing a=0 in (13) and (14) yields the following equation for output:

y = (1-B )y + (1-B1))m , (14b)

t

t-1t where , = )m (as a=0 in (13)) has been used. Note that price stickiness is reflected in the t t coefficient on lagged output, so a researcher interested in price stickiness should examine the coefficient on lagged output, not the coefficient on the change in nominal output as in BMR,Defina (1991), Caballero and Engel (1992), Walsh (1994), and others, unless a=0 and =1 in all countries. If price stickiness is lower in high inflation economies, the impact coefficient on )m should be smaller as emphasized by the authors noted above, although the relationship is clouded in the presence of information imperfections 1. Proposition I.A. and (14b) also imply that high inflation economies should have less persistence in output fluctuations, and this relationship is not clouded by imperfect information 1.

I estimate (14b) for each country in BMR's sample using real output detrended by the Hodrick-Prescott filter. The results for B are reported in table 3. As discussed in proposition I.A., price flexibility should increase with average inflation. Regressions of B against the average inflation rate ()P) of each country in the BMR sample (heteroskedasticity consistent t-statistics 6in parentheses) yields BMR:

B =

0.384 + 0.872 )P

Adj. R = 0.23

N=43.

This point is noted in the comments on BMR by Akerlof, Rose, and Yellen, and Sims. Kiley (1995) applies

7this point to the relationship between central bank independence and the costs of disinflation.

16

The results show that countries with higher average inflation rates have more flexible prices (and hence through (14) less persistent deviations of real output from trend). Visual inspection of a plot of the B ’s against average inflation for the BMR sample (figure 1) confirms the regression results. The greater price flexibility in high inflation economies leads to less output persistence.

While the systematic relationship between output persistence and inflation supports a

central prediction of endogenous sticky price models, a possible “spurious regression problem”clouds interpretation of estimates from (14b). Suppose that price stickiness and imperfect information were unimportant for aggregate output fluctuations, so that real output fluctuations solely reflected real shocks. Further suppose that real output growth ()y ) and inflation ()P )t t were independent random variables. In such an environment, the regression (14b) would not yield a zero coefficient on )m , even though nominal shocks have no real effects. This is because )m t t equals )y +)P and hence (14b) is simply a regression of real output on a noisy measure of itself. t t Estimation of (14b) thus is a potentially poor strategy for looking at the importance of imperfect information and price stickiness. Moreover, a=0 may not be a good assumption. The next 7section pursues a different strategy.C.

Case 2: a U 0, =1.

The previous section provides new support for endogenous price stickiness models in which prices become more flexible at higher inflation rates, and this flexibility lowers the persistence of real output fluctuations. This section will relax the assumption imposed in many other studies that a=0. The strategy of this section will seek to avoid the spurious regression

problem of the previous section. Controlling for a U0 is also important because differences across countries in the persistence of the driving force behind real output fluctuations (nominal output) will affect the persistence of real output (as seen in (14)). For example, high inflation economies may pursue policies which result in very little persistence in nominal output fluctuations, whereas low inflation economies may display greater persistence in nominal output fluctuations; this pattern would yield less persistent real output fluctuations in high inflation economies even if price rigidity were the same in high and low inflation economies. By controlling for the differences across countries in the persistence of nominal output fluctuations, greater confidence can be placed in associating less real output persistence with more flexible prices.

When a U0, (14) implies that real output is an ARMA(2,1) process

y = ((1-B)+a)y - (1-B)ay + v ,(14c) t t-1t-2t

where v is the MA(1) function of , in (14). The moving average disturbance becomes white t t

noise in the absence of imperfect information (1=1). Note that (14c) avoids the spurious regression problem of the previous section by estimating an equation for real output which does not include the change in nominal output.

The strategy followed in this section is therefore: 1. jointly estimate, for the detrended BMR data, (14c) and (13), while imposing the restriction 1=1 and the cross equation restrictions

on y and m, but without imposing the cross equation restrictions on v and , (imposing these

t t

cross equations restrictions results in a singular covariance matrix for the system (14c) and (13) due to the simplicity of the model); 2. explore the relationship between this estimate of B and inflation as in the previous section; and 3. test for the presence of a moving average error in (14c) in order to examine the empirical importance of imperfect information. Note that by not imposing

17

the stochastic singularity of the model (i.e. the cross-equation restrictions on the error terms), I assume that the propagation of shocks to real output follows the predictions of my model, but the impulses to real output can come from other sources. This assumption is questionable, and hence the results should be interpreted with caution. My focus is on the implications of price stickiness for cross-country differences in business cycle persistence, so I believe my focus on the implications of price stickiness for the autoregressive roots of real output in (14c) is reasonable. The robustness of my conclusions to this identifying assumption are discussed below.

Following steps 1 and 2 for the 43 countries in the BMR data set using Hodrick-Prescott detrended output reveals that the assumption a=0 used in many previous studies is overwhelmingly rejected by the data. As shown in Table 4, in only six countries is the null hypothesis of a=0 not rejected at the 5% level (Austria, Dominican Republic, Finland, Nicaragua, Tunisia, and Venezuela) (only 3 countries do not reject the restriction at the 10% level - Finland, Nicaragua, and Tunisia). Table 4 also reports the new estimates of B for the BMR sample.

Figure 2 plots the estimates of B resulting from (14c) against inflation. Again, it appears that higher average inflation leads to greater price flexibility and hence less persistence in output fluctuations. Regressing B against average inflation yields (heteroskedasticity consistent t-statistics in parentheses)

B =0.532 + 1.456 )P

(14.10) (5.84)Adj. R = 0.30N=43.

This estimate of B is strongly related to mean inflation. This result supports the earlier conclusion arrived at in the AR(1) specification (i.e. a=0) that price rigidity is an important propagation mechanism which explains a significant fraction of the cross-country differences in output

食品添加剂的现状和发展趋势

食品添加剂的现状和发展趋势 食品添加剂是指在食品或食品加工中使用的各种微量的物质,通常其添加量不超过食品质量的2%。添加目的为:①改进和保持食品的营养价值;②延长食品的货架期;③方便食品的加工;④增强食品的风味,改变食品的色泽;⑤确保微生物的安全性;⑥保持食品品质的连续性和统一性。 1、食品添加剂市场 据统计,目前全球开发的食品添加剂总数已达1.4万多种,其中直接使用的品种有300o余种,常的有680余种。美国是世界上食品添加剂便用量最大、使用品种最多的国家.目前允许直接使用的有230o种以上,消费量已超过14o万吨(不包括淀粉及其衍生物、香精/香料和调味料);西欧消费量已近50075~,其中淀粉及其衍生物的数量高达40万吨。 食品添加剂已.成为医药、农用化学品及饲料添加剂之后的第四类倍受人们关注的精细化工行业。目前食品添加剂的世界市场价值为200亿美元,其中,调味品占30~,4、氢化胶体占17%、酸化剂占13%、调味增强剂占12%、甜味剂占6%、色素占5%、乳化剂占5%、维生素和矿物质占5%、酶占4%、化学防腐剂占2%、抗氧化剂占1%。j负计禾来5年内冥年增长率为2%-3%。全球调味品和香料的市场价值为12o亿美,其中调味品约占49%(59亿美元)。调味品市场中,饮料占31%、佐料占23%、奶制品占14%、其他占32%。需求增长最强劲的食品添加剂将是维生素、矿物质、调味增强剂和脂肪代用品。

罗氏(R.h)和巴斯夫公司是世界上重要的食品添加剂和精细化学品生产商。维生素是罗氏公司维生素和精细化学品部最大的业务部门,几乎占全球销售额的50%,其次是精细化学品占30%、类胡萝卜素占20%。罗氏新上市的营养药品包括用于眼科保健的玉米黄质、番茄红素和叶黄素,以及供功能饮料用的水溶性维生素E制品等。罗氏公司也加快投资中国市场,与上海新亚药业公司合资兴建了1000吨/年维生素B工厂,还有罗氏泰山(上海)维生素A新厂,以及在无锡兴建4万吨/年柠檬酸工厂。巴斯夫公司在全球维生素市场上约占25%的份额,该公司在韩国Gunsan建成3000吨/年维生素B 工厂和世界规模的维生素C及维生素B的工厂。 我国食品添加剂的生产随食品加工业的发展而不断发展壮大,目前已批准使用的添加剂共有21类1474种,产品门类齐全,基本可以满足食品工业的需要。我国各类食品添加剂的年产品量已超过200万吨,其中味精达60万吨以上,柠檬酸的产量近20万吨。表1列出我国主要的食品添加剂生产企业和产量。我国食品添加剂的总量已可以满足市场需求,但由于我国多数食品添加剂企业生产规模小,技术水平低,因此产品质量方面尚存在一些差距。因此少数用量少、档次高的食品添加剂仍依赖进El。一些合资的食品加工企业和引进的食品加工生产线为了保证其产品的质量,仍以较高的价格购买国外的同类产品。 2、营养添加剂 牛磺酸近年来,国内外研究表明,牛磺酸是一种具有多种生理功

生物化学的发展

生物化学是一门较年轻的学科,在欧洲约在160年前开始,逐渐发展,一直到1903年才引进“生物化学”这个名词而成为一门独立的学科,但在我国,其发展可追溯到远古。我国古代劳动人民在饮食、营养、医、药等方面都有不少创造和发明,生物化学的发展可分为:叙述生物化学、动态生物化学及机能生物化学三个阶段。 (一)叙述生物化学阶段 1.饮食方面:公元前21世纪,我国人民已能造酒,相传夏人仪狄作酒,禹饮而甘之,作酒必用曲,故称曲为酒母,又叫做酶,与媒通,是促进谷物中主要成分的淀粉转化为酒的媒介物。现在我国生物化学工作者将促进生物体内化学反应的媒介物(即生物催化剂)统称为酶,从《周礼》的记载来推测,公元前12世纪以前,已能制饴,饴即今之麦芽糖,是大麦芽中的淀粉酶水解谷物中淀粉的产物。《周礼》称饴为五味之一。不但如此,在这同时,还能将酒发酵成醋。醋亦为五味之一。《周礼》上已有五味的描述。可见我国在上古时期,已使用生物体内一类很重要的有生物学活性的物质——酶,为饮食制作及加工的一种工具。这显然是酶学的萌芽时期。 2.营养方面:《黄帝内经·素问》的“藏气法时论”篇记载有“五谷为养,五畜为益,五果为助,五菜为充”,将食物分为四大类,并以“养”、“益”、“助”、“充”表明在营养上的价值。这在近代营养学中,也是配制完全膳食的一个好原则。谷类含淀粉较多,蛋白质亦不少,宜为人类主食,是生长、发育以及养生所需食物中之最主要者;动物食品含蛋白质,质优且丰富,但含脂肪较多,不宜过多食用,可用以增进谷类主食的营养价值而有益于健康,果品及蔬菜中无机盐类及维生素较为丰富,且属于粗纤维,有利食物消化及废物的排出;如果膳食能得到果品的辅助,蔬菜的充实,营养上显然是一个无可争辩的完全膳食。膳食疗法早在周秦时代即已开始应用,到唐代已有专书出现。盂诜(公元7世纪)著《食疗本草》及昝殷(约公元8世纪)著《食医必鉴》等二书,是我国最早的膳食疗法书籍。宋朝的《圣济总录》(公元前12世纪)是阐明食治的。元朝忽思慧(公元14世纪)针对不同疾患,提出应用的食物及其烹调方法,并编写成《饮膳正要》。由此可看出我国古代医务工作者应用营养方面的原理,试图治疗疾患的一些端倪。 3.医药方面:我国古代医学对某些营养缺乏病的治疗,也有所认识,如地方性甲状腺肿古称“瘿病”,主要是饮食中缺碘所致,有用含碘丰富的海带、海藻、紫菜等海产品防治。公元4世纪,葛洪著《肘后百一方》中载有用海藻酒治疗瘿病的方法。唐·王焘(公元8世纪)的《外台秘要》中载有疗瘿方36种,其中27种为含碘植物。而在欧洲直到公元1170年才有用海藻及海绵的灰分治疗此病者。脚气病是缺乏维生素B1的病。孙思邈(公元581~682年)早有详细研究,认为是一种食米区的疾病,分为“肿”、“不肿”及“脚气入心”三种,可用含有维生素B1的车前子、防风、杏仁、大豆、槟榔等治疗。酿酒用的曲及中药中的神曲(可生用)均含维生素B1较丰富,且具有水解糖类的酶,可用以补充维生素B1的不足,亦常用以治疗胃肠疾患。夜盲症古称“雀目”,是一种缺乏维主素A的病症。孙思邈首先用含维生素A较丰富的猪肝治疗。我国最早的眼科专著《龙木论》记载用苍术、地肤子、细辛、决明子等治疗雀目。这些药物都是含有维生素A原的植物。 我国研究药物最早者据传为神农。神衣后世又称炎帝,是始作方书,以疗民疾者。《越绝书》上有神农尝百草的记载。自此以后,我国人民开始用天然产品治疗疾病,如用羊靥(包括甲状腺的头部肌肉)治甲状腺肿,紫河车(胎盘)作强壮剂,蟾酥(蟾蜍皮肤疣的分泌物)

第二章 细胞生物学汇总

一、独立的生命单位 细胞是包含了全部生命信息和体现所有基本特点的独立的生命单位。 细胞包含3个体系: ●遗传信息的复制、维持和表达体系 ●新陈代谢体系 ●构成维持生命结构有序性体系,如细胞骨架系统 真核细胞是如何进化来的? 共生假说:认为真核细胞是一种复合体,它是若干原核细胞与真核细胞祖先的胞质共生 的结果 渐进式进化:认为原核细胞到真核细胞是一种渐进、直接进化的过程。 根据分子分类研究结果,却认为真核细胞、原核细胞和古细菌细胞同属于由共同祖先平行 进化而来的种类。 二、限制细胞大小的自然规律 ● Relationship Between Cells Volume(细胞体积) 一个生活细胞要维持正常的独立生活功能,最低限度需要容纳下为自身生存和繁殖 所必须的足够的DNA、蛋白质分子以及其他内部结构的空间(最低限度需要500~1000种不 同类型的酶和蛋白质)。 ● Cell Surface Area(表面积) 细胞必须有足够的表面积才能从环境中获得充足的营养和水分。 ◆细胞维持体积的相对恒定 1~10μm之间,而真核细胞的直径平均为3~30μm; ,如人的卵细胞直径只有0.1mm,而鸵鸟的卵细胞的直 径则有5cm; ,不依生物个体的大小而增大或缩小。如人、牛、马、 鼠、象的肾细胞、肝细胞的大小基本相同; ,与细胞的数量成正比,而与细胞的大小无关,把这种 现象为“细胞体积的守恒定律”。 细胞化学成分 水:85% 无机盐:1.5% 蛋白质:10% 脂质:2% 糖类:0.4% DNA: 0.4% RNA : 0.7% 三、原核细胞 主要特点 1.遗传物质仅一个环状DNA 2.无核膜,有细胞壁 3.无细胞器, 无细胞骨架 4.以无丝分裂或出芽繁殖 代表生物:支原体、细菌、蓝藻 四、真核细胞 三大结构体系 生物膜系统质膜、内膜系统(细胞器) 遗传信息表达系统染色质(体)、核糖体、mRNA、tRNA等等 细胞骨架系统胞质骨架、核骨架

食品酸味剂的研究应用现状及发展趋势

食品酸味剂的研究应用现状及发展趋势 李俊文 哈尔滨工业大学食品科学与工程学院 摘要:本文着重介绍柠檬酸,乳酸,苹果酸,酒石酸等几种常用食品酸味剂在食品工业中应用现状并展望了食品酸味剂的发展趋势 关键词:酸味剂,柠檬酸,乳酸,苹果酸,酒石酸 酸味剂具有增进食品质量的许多功能特性,例如改变和维持食品的酸度并改善其风味;增进抗氧化作用,防止食品酸败;与重金属离子络合,具有阻止氧化或褪变反应、稳定颜色、降低浊度、增强胶凝特性等作用。我国现已批准许可使用酸味剂的有:柠檬酸、乳酸、磷酸、酒石酸、苹果酸、偏酒石酸、乙酸、盐酸、己二酸、富马酸、氢氧化钠、碳酸钾、碳酸钠、柠檬酸钠、柠檬酸酸钾、碳酸氢三钠、柠檬酸一钠等17种。 1柠檬酸及其钠盐 1.1柠檬酸及其应用 柠檬酸广泛用于食品工业,是一种重要的食品添加剂。柠檬酸在食品加工中的应用应根据不同产品和不同口味来调整添加量,以达到最佳效果。 1 .1.1 酸味剂 柠檬酸作为酸味剂具有酸味圆润滋美的特点,广泛用于汽水、果汁、果冻、水果罐头等生产加工中。通常使用量为0.1%~0.5%,具体使用量可视品种和需要而定。在某些果蔬制品中还可以通过柠檬酸和糖来调节制品的糖酸比。同时通过柠檬酸调整pH值还可改善产品品质和风味。 1.1.2 蔗糖转化剂 在蔗糖液中添加适量柠檬酸可使其转化为转化糖,可提高蔗糖的饱和度和粘度,增大渗透压。因此用于果酱、果冻中有改善风味、防腐和促进蔗糖转化的作用,防止蔗糖晶析而发砂,改善产品质地。 1.1.3 稳定色素 果蔬原料放在1%~2%的食盐和0.1%的柠檬酸混合液中浸渍,可抑制果蔬原料酶褐变引起的变色。同时由于柠檬酸的高酸性,它还具有良好的防腐功能,能抑制细菌增殖,且能增强抗氧化剂的作用。如切去皮后的果蔬原料在0.1%的抗坏血酸溶液中浸渍后可防止氧化变褐。在使用时一般以柠檬酸作增效剂,以控制酚酶的活力,防止酶褐变。 1.1.4 面制品改良剂 在面食制品中用小苏打疏松剂时,制品往往碱度增大,口味变劣。若柠檬酸和小苏打同时使用,可使小苏打分子在反应过程中产生的二氧化碳被吸收,不致使碳酸钠积累,从而降低面制品的碱度,改善口味。 此外,柠檬酸还可作为冷冻水果和水果加工品中维生素的稳定剂,以及作为软饮料、冷饮、糖果、焙烤食品、胶姆糖的增香剂。 1.2柠檬酸钠及其应用 柠檬酸钠是一种无色晶体或白色结晶粉末,目前最重要的柠檬酸盐。柠檬酸钠主要由淀粉类物质经发酵生成柠檬酸,再跟碱类物质中和而产生。柠檬酸钠用作食品添加剂,需求量

三羧酸循环

第23章三羧酸循环(生物化学下册p92) 3学时 学习重点: ◆熟悉柠檬酸循环途径中的各步酶促反应,以及各步反应酶的作用特点。 ◆会分析和计算酵解和柠檬酸循环中产生的能量,以及底物分子中标记碳的去向。 葡萄糖的有氧氧化包括四个阶段。 ①糖酵解产生丙酮酸(2丙酮酸、2ATP、2NADH) ②丙酮酸氧化脱羧生成乙酰CoA ③三羧酸循环(CO2、H2O、A TP、NADH) ④呼吸链氧化磷酸化(NADH-----ATP) 三羧酸循环:乙酰CoA经一系列的氧化、脱羧,最终生成CO2、H2O、并释放能量的过程,又称柠檬酸循环、Krebs循环。 原核生物:①~④阶段在胞质中 真核生物:①在胞质中,②~④在线粒体中 一、丙酮酸脱羧生成乙酰CoA 1、反应式: 2、丙酮酸脱氢酶系 丙酮酸脱氢酶系是一个十分庞大的多酶体系,位于线粒体膜上,电镜下可见。 E.coli丙酮酸脱氢酶复合体: 分子量:4.5×106,直径45nm,比核糖体稍大。 酶辅酶每个复合物亚基数 丙酮酸脱羧酶(E1)TPP 24 二氢硫辛酸转乙酰酶(E2)硫辛酸24 二氢硫辛酸脱氢酶(E3)FAD、NAD+12 此外,还需要CoA、Mg2+作为辅因子 这些肽链以非共价键结合在一起,在碱性条件下,复合体可以解离成相应的亚单位,在中性时又可以重组为复合体。所有丙酮酸氧化脱羧的中间物均紧密结合在复合体上,活性中间物可以从一个酶活性位置转到另一个酶活性位置,因此,多酶复合体有利于高效催化反应及调节酶在反应中的活性。 3、反应步骤 反应过程 (1)丙酮酸脱羧形成羟乙基-TPP

(2)二氢硫辛酸乙酰转移酶(E2)使羟乙基氧化成乙酰基 (3)E2将乙酰基转给CoA,生成乙酰-CoA (4)E3氧化E2上的还原型二氢硫辛酸 (5)E3还原NAD+生成NADH 4、丙酮酸脱氢酶系的活性调节 从丙酮酸到乙酰CoA是代谢途径的分支点,此反应体系受到严密的调节控制,此酶系受两种机制调节。 (1)可逆磷酸化的共价调节 丙酮酸脱氢酶激酶(E A)(可被ATP激活) 丙酮酸脱氢酶磷酸酶(E B) 磷酸化的丙酮酸脱氢酶(无活性) 去磷酸化的丙酮酸脱氢酶(有活性) (2)别构调节 ATP、CoA、NADH是别构抑制剂 ATP抑制E1 CoA抑制E2 NADH抑制E3 5、能量 1分子丙酮酸生成1分子乙酰CoA,产生1分子NADH(2.5A TP)。 二、三羧酸循环(TCA)的过程 TCA循环:每轮循环有2个C原子以乙酰CoA形式进入,有2个C原子完全氧化成CO2放出,分别发生4次氧化脱氢,共释放10A TP。 1、反应步骤 概述三羧酸循环(图,见书) (1)、乙酰CoA+草酰乙酸→柠檬酸 柠檬酸合酶,TCA中第一个调节酶:受ATP、NADH、琥珀酰CoA、和长链脂肪酰CoA 的抑制;受乙酰CoA、草酸乙酸激活。 柠檬酸合酶上的两个His残基起重要作用: 一个与草酰乙酸羰基氧原子作用,使其易受攻击;另一个促进乙酰CoA的甲基碳上的质子离开,形成烯醇离子,就可与草酰乙酸缩合成C-C键,生成柠檬酰CoA,后者使酶构象变化,使活性中心增加一个Asp残基,捕获水分子,以水解硫酯键,然后CoA和柠檬酸相继离开酶。 氟乙酰CoA可与草酰乙酸生成氟柠檬酸,抑制下一步反应的酶,据此,可以合成杀虫剂、灭鼠药。 氟乙酸本身无毒,氟柠檬酸是乌头酸酶专一的抑制剂,氟柠檬酸结合到乌头酸酶的活性部位上,并封闭之,使需氧能量代谢受毒害。它存在于某些有毒植物叶子中,是已知最能致死的简单分子之一。LD50为0.2mg/Kg体重,它比强烈的神经毒物二异丙基氟磷酸的LD50

生物化学复习重点

生物化学复习资料 1天然不饱和脂肪酸的碳-碳双键都是顺式构型。 2.亚油酸,α亚麻酸和花生四烯酸是维持人体和动物正常生命活动所必需的脂肪酸,但哺乳动物体内不能合成或合成量不足,必须从食物中摄取,所以称为必须脂肪酸。 3氨基酸是蛋白质的结构单位,自然界中的氨基酸有300多种,但用来合成蛋白质的氨基酸只有20种,这20种氨基酸称为标准氨基酸。 4肽键:在蛋白质分子内,一个氨基酸的α-羧基与另一个氨基酸的α-氨基缩合形成的化学键称为肽键。 5肽:氨基酸通过肽键连接构成的分子称为肽。 6蛋白质的一级结构:蛋白质分子内的氨基酸的排列顺序称为蛋白质的一级结构,包括二硫键的位置。 7蛋白质的二级结构:是指多肽链主链的局部构象,不涉及侧链的空间排布。8蛋白质的二级结构的四种类型:α螺旋,β折叠,β转角,无规卷曲。 9.蛋白质一级结构与其功能的关系:蛋白质的一级结构决定其构象,进而决定其生理功能。改变蛋白质的一级结构可以直接影响其功能。 每一种蛋白质分子都有自己特定的氨基酸组成和排列顺序即一级结构,蛋白质的一级结构包含了指导其形成天然构象所需的全部信息。 10蛋白质的一般性质:紫外线吸收特征; 11两性解离与等电点:蛋白质是两性电解质,因为它们有肽键主链C端的羧基、谷氨酸的γ-羧基和天冬氨酸的β-羧基,可以给出H+而带负电荷;也有肽链主链N端的氨基、赖氨酸的ε-氨基、精氨酸的胍基和组氨酸的咪唑基,可以结合成H﹢而带正电荷。这些基团的解离状态决定蛋白质的带电荷状态,而解离状态受溶液的pH值影响。在某一pH值下,蛋白质的静电荷为零,则该pH值称为蛋白质的等电点(pI)。如果溶液pHpI,则蛋白质带负电荷。 人体许多蛋白质的等电点在5.0左右,低于体液的pH值,所以带负电荷。 12蛋白质溶液是胶体溶液:蛋白质分子的直径已经达到胶体颗粒的范围,所以其水溶液是一种比较稳定的胶体溶液,电荷和水化膜是其主要稳定因:①蛋白质在非等电点状态下带有同性电荷,同性电荷使蛋白质分子相互排斥,不易形成可以沉淀的大颗粒。②球状蛋白质分子表面有较多的亲水基团,可以与水结合,使蛋白质分子表面为多层水分子包裹,形成水化膜,从而阻止蛋白质分子的聚集。如果这两种因素被破坏,蛋白质就会从溶液中析出。 13蛋白质沉淀:蛋白质分子从溶液中析出的现象称为蛋白质沉淀。 怎样沉淀:凡能破坏蛋白质溶液稳定因素的方法都可使蛋白质分子聚集成颗粒并沉淀。如果将蛋白质溶液的pH值调到等电点,使蛋白质分子静电荷为零,此时虽然分子之间同性电荷的相互排斥作用消失了,但是还有水化膜起保护作用,一般不会导致蛋白质沉淀。如果再加入脱水剂破坏水化膜,则蛋白质分子就会凝聚成颗粒并沉淀;或者,如果先加入脱水剂破坏水化膜,然后再调溶液的pH值到等电点,也可以使蛋白质凝聚成颗粒而沉淀。(盐析:在蛋白质溶液中加入大量的中性盐会破坏其胶体溶液稳定性而使其沉淀) 14蛋白质变性:在一些因素作用下,蛋白质的天然构象被破坏,从而导致其理化性质改变,生物活性丧失,这一现象称为蛋白质变性。

生物化学的发展史

生物化学的发展史 [大] [中] [小] 发布人:圣才学习网发布日期:2008-01-25 14:18 共1564人浏览 大约在19世纪末,德国化学家李比希(J.Liebig)初创了生理化学,在他的著作中首次提出了“新陈代谢”这个词。以后德国的霍佩赛勒(E.F.Hoppe-seyler)将生理化学建成一门独立的学科,并于1877年提出“Biochemie”一词,译成英语为“Biochemistry”,即生物化学。生物化学的发展大体可分为三个阶段: 一、静态生物化学阶段 大约从19世纪末到20世纪30年代,主要是静态的描述性阶段。发现了生物体主要由糖、脂、蛋白质和核酸四大类有机物质组成,并对生物体各种组成成分进行分离、纯化、结构测定、合成及理化性质的研究。 1、1929年,德国化学家Fischer Hans发现了血红素是血红蛋白的一部分,但不属于氨基酸,进一步确定了分子中的每一个院子,获1930年诺贝尔化学奖。得很多糖和氨基酸的结构,确定了糖的构型,并指出蛋白质是通过肽键连接的。 2、通过食物的分析和营养的研究发现了一系列维生素,并阐明了它们的结构。1911年,Funk 结晶出治疗“脚气病”的复合维生素B,提出“Vitamine”,意即生命胺。后来由于相继发现的许多维生素并非胺类,又将“Vitamine”改为“Vitamin”。与此同时,人们又认识到另一类数量少而作用重大的物质--激素。它和维生素不同,不依赖外界供给,而由动物自身产生并在自身中发挥作用。肾上腺素、胰岛素及肾上腺皮质所含的甾体激素都是在这一时期发现的。 3、1926年,Sumner从半刀豆中制得了脲酶结晶,并证明它的化学本质是蛋白质。此后四、五年间Nothrop等人连续结晶了几种水解蛋白质的酶,如胃蛋白酶、胰蛋白酶等,并指出它们都是蛋白质,确立了酶是蛋白质这一概念。 4、中国生物化学家吴宪(1893~1959)在1931年提出了蛋白质变性的概念。吴宪堪称中国生物化学的奠基人,他在血液分析、蛋白质变性、食物营养和免疫化学等四个领域都做出了重要贡献,并培养了许多生化学家。 虽然对生物体组成的鉴定是生物化学发展初期的特点,但直到今天,新物质仍不断在发现。如陆续发现的干扰素、环核苷磷酸、钙调蛋白、粘连蛋白、外源凝集素等,已成为重要的研究课题。 早已熟知的化合物也会发现新的功能,20世纪初发现的肉碱,50年代才知道是一种生长因子,而到60年代又了解到是生物氧化的一种载体;多年来被认为是分解产物的腐胺和尸胺,后来被发现与精胺、亚精胺等多胺有多种生理功能,如参与核酸和蛋白质合成的调节,对DNA超螺旋起稳定作用以及调节细胞分化等。 二、动态生物化学阶段 第二阶段约在20世纪30~50年代,主要特点是研究生物体内物质的变化,即代谢途径,所以称动态生化阶段。在这一阶段,确定了糖酵解、三羧酸循环以及脂肪分解等重要的分解代谢途径,对呼吸、光合作用以及腺苷三磷酸(ATP)在能量转换中的关键位置有了较深入的认识。主要研究成果有: 1、1932年,英国科学家Krebs在前人工作的基础上,用组织切片实验证明了尿素合成反应,提出了鸟氨酸循环。并进一步对生物体内被氧化的过程进行了研究,于1937年又提出了各种化学物质的中心环节--三羧酸循环的基本代谢途径。 2、1940年,德国科学家Embden和Meyerhof提出了糖酵解代谢途径。 3、1949年,E.Kennedy等证明F.Knoop提出的脂肪酸β-氧化过程是在线粒体中进行的,并
