Green Microalga

Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis, a blue-green microalga, is a rich source of organic nutrients. Microalgae are used as food supplements with enhanced nutritional and functional values. Consumption of fermented milk products such as yogurt has recently increased. Both oven-dried and fresh Arthrospira biomass supplemented into yogurt at different concentrations of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5% (w/v) and 1, 5, and 10% (v/v), respectively improved physicochemical properties. Arthrospira supplemented in yogurt fermentation gave faster decrease in pH value with green color index of finished yogurt. Oven drying is a convenient method; however, fresh biomass gave similar nutritional value with higher C-phycocyanin content. During storage, pH, titratable acidity, and color of yogurt showed negligible variations. Results indicated that Arthrospira increased both nutritional composition and functional properties of yogurt as a natural food ingredient.

Coconut water is highly consumed for refreshment due to its nutritional value. However, its nutritional value varies according to the ecotype and stage of maturity of ecotype. In order to identify best ecotypes with high nutritious value, a physico-chemical composition of ten (10) ecotypes was performed at earlier stage of maturity (3 months). The measured parameters were: coconut height, mass of water, total sugar content, soluble sugar content, protein, titratable acidity and pH.  The obtained results showed that all parameters vary from one ecotype to another. All coconut ecotypes contain water slightly acid with a pH value less than 7.  Furthermore, there is no relationship between physical and biochemical parameters. However, within characterized ecotypes, Ecotype_2, appeared to have the best biochemical composition with a significant amount of water. This study provided important informations related to physico-chemical characteristics of coconuts ecotypes found in the coastal zone.

Rice bran is an agro-industrial waste with excellent nutritional value and a considerable content of bioactive compounds. Biotransformation processes by fermented milk drink fermentation increase the interest in obtaining products from agro-industrial wastes with good biological properties. The viability of introducing rice bran (RB) into fermented milk drinks to improve the structural stability and sensory was studied. Fermented milk drink supplemented with 0, 0.1 %, 0.3 %, 0.5 %, 0.7 % amount of RB were studied. Samples were stored for 28 days at 4 ± 1 °C. Samples composition was studied, Physicochemical properties (total titratable acidity, apparent viscosity, and pH) and consumer’s acceptability of fermented milk drinks were determined at 0, 7th, 14th, 21th and 28th days of storage. Studies showed that rice bran wan rich in dietary fiber (28.57 %), fat (21.56 %), and protein (11.18 %). The introduction of RB showed a significant influence on these parameters (P < 0.05). The introduction of RB would significantly improve the value of titratable acidity and apparent viscosity and decrease pH value. The more rice bran was added, the higher the values of titratable acidity and apparent viscosity were. The lower the pH value was, which could shorten the fermentation time, improve the texture stability, save production cost. The storage period could significantly influence the value of titratable acidity, pH, and apparent viscosity. The longer the storage period was, the higher the titratable acidity values were, the lower the pH value was caused by the post-fermentation of fermented milk drink. The apparent viscosity showed a trend of rising first and falling then during the storage period. The introduction of RB could significantly influence the sensory characteristic (color, consistency, sour, and texture). The introduction of RB would lead to whey separation and rough structure. Fermented milk drink supplemented with 0.1 % RB showed higher sensory acceptance. The best shelf life of the sample is 14 days，during which time fermented milk drink was of the best quality. RB is a kind of raw material with bright application prospects in a fermented milk drink.

Soymilk has received a lot of attention due to its nutritional value, especially its high protein and isoflavone contents. The objective of this study was to develop a beverage fermented with kefir biomass from soymilk supplemented with 3.5 or 7.0% of Acromia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. powder-pulp (also known as the bocaiúva or macaúba) (BO3.5 or BO7.0, respectively), 3.5% of inulin (IN3.5), or 3.5% of each ingredient (BO + IN). The beverage was produced from soymilk (9 °Brix) by fermentation with kefir (4 g:100 mL) for 12 h at 25 °C. The characteristics of the beverages (pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, color, syneresis, sedimentation, and the microbiological counts of Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, and yeasts) were evaluated during 16 days of storage (0, 6, 11, and 16 days) at 7 °C. The addition of bocaiúva powder-pulp and/or inulin did not change the pH value of the beverage, which remained the same at a safe level throughout storage (pH < 4.5); it increased the soluble solids, especially when compared to supplementation of the studied ingredients (BO3.5, BO7.0, and IN3.5); and decreased syneresis when increasing the supplementation (CONT to other treatments), regardless of treatment. Kefir-fermented soymilk was classified as hypotonic (<270 mOsmol/kg) before supplementation and isotonic (270–330 mOsmol/kg) after supplementation with inulin and/or bocaiúva powder-pulp (or both). Evaluation of the microbial populations in the fermented beverages showed that this substrate could maintain viability above 107 CFU/mL throughout the storage period. The supplementation improved the technological characteristics of kefir-fermented soymilk without altering the viability of the beneficial microorganisms present in kefir.

AbstractMexico is the centre of origin and domestication of the dahlia, which has the widest distribution worldwide as an ornamental plant; however, due to changes in eating habits in some sectors of the population (vegetarians and vegans), it has also been incorporated as an ingredient in the gastronomic field. The aim of this research was to determine the attributes of physicochemical quality, antioxidant capacity and nutritional value of ligulate flowers of some wild dahlia species. A completely randomized experimental design with five repetitions was used. Fresh weight, total titratable acidity (TTA), total soluble solids (TSS), ascorbic acid (AA), colour, total phenols (TP), total flavonoids (TFl), total anthocyanins (TAn), antioxidant capacity (AC) and proximate composition were evaluated. The highest fresh weight was observed in D. × hortorum, with similar values among its different flower colours. Likewise, D. merckii and D. coccinea stood out for their high TTA value; however, D. coccinea also had the highest AA content (0.77-0.9 mg g−1 FW), TP (12.87-19.92 mg GAE g−1 FW), TFl (6.78-11.32 mg QE g−1 DW) and AC (47.28-60.43 mg AAEVC g−1 FW). On the other hand, D. campanulata was notable for its high levels of moisture, fat and raw fibre; similarly, D. coccinea stood out for its high amounts of dry matter and total carbohydrates. The ligulate flowers of wild dahlias have a high concentration of bioactive compounds and a nutritional composition with beneficial contributions to health care, so they could be used for consumption as fresh products.

Centella asiatica is one of the traditional herbs found commonly in Malaysia. It has been used as an important ingredient in many traditional medicine practices due to its antioxidant and pharmacological properties. This study was done by adding three different percentages of C. asiatica extracts (20%, 40% and 60%) in noodles. Sensory evaluation involving appearance, colour, taste and aroma (affective test), physicochemical properties (texture, pH and colour), antioxidant activity (DPPH, FRAP, TPC and TFC assays) and nutritional composition on control noodle and herbal noodles enriched with C. asiatica were conducted. For sensory test, control noodle is the most favorable followed by 60% herbal noodle. There was a reduction in the firmness of cooked 20% and 60% herbal noodles. The pH value of herbal noodles also decreased as the concentration of herbal noodles increased due to the addition of C. asiatica. Colour analysis showed that the L* values of all the samples were increased, a* values decreased which indicated strong green colour among the herbal noodles while b* values showed the highest value for control noodle. Antioxidant tests such as DPPH showed that 60% herbal noodle exhibited higher free radical scavenging with a value of 49.200% as compared to control noodle (16.027%). The same finding was observed for FRAP assay where 60% herbal noodle displayed higher value (111.335 µg/mL) than control noodle (71.233 µg/mL). TFC of 60% herbal noodle also showed the highest value as compared to other noodles. However, TPC of 40% herbal noodles had greater value as compared to 60% herbal noodle. A decrease in the nutritional value of herbal noodle compared to control noodle was also observed. In conclusion, herbal noodles enriched with C. asiatica showed promising antioxidant potential which can be used in functional food applications

Fermentation serves a key role in inhibiting spoilage microorganism through acidification and production of antimicrobial compounds. The technological information on properties of Streptococcus infantarius sub sp. infantarius which is predominant in most African fermented is dairy products very little. This study was therefore carried out to determine the functionality of selected African Streptococci strains in fermented dairy products. Pasteurized milk samples from camels and cows were inoculated with different strains and a selected combination at a rate of 3% v/v and incubated at different temperatures of 25 oC, 30 oC, 37 oC, and 45 oC for 9 hours. Analysis was done after every 3 hours for pH and titratable acidity while viscosity was done after incubation and cooling of the product. The different fermented milk samples were subsequently evaluated for consumer acceptability. Milk inoculated with both African type Streptococcus thermophillus (146A8.2) and Streptococcus infantarius sub sp. infantarius CJ 18 (9377), and incubated for nine hours recorded the highest amount of titratable acidity of 0.97 for the camel milk and had the least pH value of 4.12 for cow milk compared to the other strains. The cow milk had the highest viscosity level of 59.64 cPs compared to camel milk which was 29.44 cPs. The levels of titratable acidity and viscosity depended on the strain and incubation temperature. The African type Streptococcus thermophillus (146A8.2) and Streptococcus infantarius sub sp. infantarius CJ 18 (9377), isolated from fermented camel milk had good technological properties that are useful as starter culture for development of fermented milk products.

Ackee (Blighiasapida) fruit has a nutritional composition comparable to other commonly consumed fruits although its consumption is limited by the presence of anti-nutrients. This study investigated the effect of processing on some anti-nutrients (oxalate and phytate) as well as on ascorbate, carotenoids and phenolic compounds in ackee arils. Changes in physicochemical (pH, titratable acidity, brix and color) were also analyzed. Ackee fruit was cut into arils and cooked for 15 min either by boiling in water at 100°C or steamed or fried in oil at 180°C. The unprocessed ackee aril had a pH, titratable acidityand brix of 5.79, 0.52% and 2.70, respectively. Significant changes in these physicochemical properties were only observed in the boiled arils while the highest change in color was observed in the steam fruits. Significant reductions in ascorbate levels of 49.27, 32.86 and 56.29% were observed after boiling, steaming and frying, although these processing methods did not significantly affect carotenoid and phenol levels. The levels of the anti-nutrients reduced significantly with oxalate reducing by 22.37, 26.67 and 37.42% and phytate levels reducing by 62.50, 66.67 and 54.17%, after boiling, steaming and frying, respectively.

Campomanesia eugenioides, Campomanesia xanthocarpa (Berg) and Campomanesia xanthocarpa var. littoralis are native fruits plants distributed in Brazil, which are popularly recognized for their nutritional, economic and cultural values. Given the scarcity of the controlled scientific studies comparing native Campomanesia varieties, the objective of this study was to characterize the fruits of Campomanesia eugenioides, Campomanesia xanthocarpa and Campomanesia xanthocarpa var. littoralis, regarding chemical composition and nutritional value through the quantification of carbohydrates, lipids, moisture, ash, proteins and fibers; the minerals Ca, Mg, P, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, K, Na content; vitamin C and carotenoids content. These varieties showed distinct physicochemical characteristics with small differences mainly about ash content and caloric values. Nevertheless, C. xanthocarpa var. littoralis showed higher values for fiber content, total soluble solids, and total titratable acidity. C. eugenioides species highlighted in relation to the vitamin C and mineral contents, with an exception for C. xanthocarpa var. littoralis that showed higher iron content. C. xanthocarpa had the highest carotenoid content, confirming that these fruits have functional properties and high nutritional value. Finally, this study will provide important scientific data supporting the application of valuable fruits from three edible Campomanesia species for producing bioactive ingredients and natural preservatives for food products.

This study aimed to investigate the technological properties of kefir fortified with defatted sesame flour (DSF). We have developed a recipe for producing kefir with the addition of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 % DSF. The physicochemical parameters (pH, titratable acidity) and rheological properties (water-holding capacity, viscosity) of the samples within 28 days of storage were studied. All the samples were stored at a temperature of 4 °C. Nuclear magnetic resonance and chromatographic analysis were performed to determine the optimal shelf life of the product. It was found that fermentation ends on the seventh day of storage, while a low content of free water is observed. The recommended optimal storage time for kefir enriched with DSF is within 14 days. The introduction of 2 % DSF in kefir increases the content of vitamin E by three times (from 0.32 to 0.93 mg/100 g) and the content of proteins – by 1 % (from 3.36 to 4.3 %). The result showed that the pH value decreases with the introduction of DSF and is within the normal range during the entire storage period of the product (from 4.38 to 4.07). In this case, the total titratable acidity increases from 112.07 to 163.52 °T. An increase in viscosity (by 3 Pa∙s) and water-holding capacity (by almost 6 %) is observed with the addition of 2 % additive. Due to the high water-holding capacity and viscosity, dietary fiber content (up to 0.68 %), kefir supplemented with DSF showed high storage stability. The addition of 2 % DSF to kefir can increase the nutritional value and improve the structural stability of the product. DSF is a waste product with a bright prospect for use in the manufacture of fermented milk drinks
