ABSTRACT: The addition of Cerrado fruits to juice and nectar formulations is an interesting alternative for the beverage industry, as it allows developing innovative products containing nutritive and bioactive compounds. Thus, the objective of this study was to produce mixed nectar of orange and uvaia, using orange nectar as a control, and to evaluate physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of beverages during the storage. Mixed nectar formulations were prepared with the addition of uvaia pulp and orange juice, while the orange nectar was made with fruit juice, and the addition of mineral water and commercial sucrose. Resulting nectar was bottled in sterilized glass bottles, immediately closed and heat-treated in a water bath at 90 °C for 5 minutes. Then, bottles containing the beverages were cooled and stored at room temperature for the physicochemical (Brix, pH, total acidity, ascorbic acid, reducing sugars, and phenolic compounds) and microbiological (total coliforms, molds and yeasts, and lactic acid bacteria) characterization. Total soluble solids and reducing sugars contents increased during storage for the mixed nectar formulations. Higher total acidity and lower pH levels were observed for the mixed nectar throughout the storage. Although, the mixed nectar exhibited higher ascorbic acid content, this parameter was significantly reduced during the storage. Concentration of phenolic compounds was higher for the mixed nectar, which increased with the addition of uvaia pulp to the formulation. Lactic acid bacteria counts remained at reduced levels for all formulations analyzed, while yeasts and total coliforms populations increased in the control formulation during the storage.

The cabbage-carrot juices were inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum 92H at the concentration of 8 × 106 CFU/ml and fermented in a thermostat at 24°C for 150 hours. During the fermentation, both analytical (pH, total acidity, reducing sugars, l-ascorbic acid, lactic, acetic and citric acids, biogenic amines) and sensory (appearance, colour, turbidity, sediment and taste) parameters were followed. For the evaluation of the results of the chemical and sensory (taste) analyses of these juices the multivariate statistical methods were applied. PCA and FA reduced the 7 original analytical variables to 1 independent component (factor) that accounted for 96.92% of the total variance, and CA divided samples into 2 groups according to the contents of lactic and acetic acids. PCA and FA reduced the 8 taste and mixture taste descriptors to 2 components (factors) that accounted for 97.28% of the total variance.

Brazil is the third largest producer of fresh fruits in the world. Among fruits, berries such as strawberry, blueberry and blackberry can be highlighted for the benefits they provide to the body, owing to their presence of bioactive compound content. The phenolic compounds, especially anthocyanins and ascorbic acid, are examples of bioactive compounds that mainly function in the body as antioxidants. However, the processing steps that lead to the generation of derivatives from these fruits, are damaging to these compounds, often leading to their loss. Thus, the aim of this study was to physically and chemically characterize fresh berries (strawberry, blueberry and blackberry) and their jams, and also to quantify and to evaluate the antioxidant activity of bioactive compounds in berries and their jams. The following parameters were analyzed: moisture, ash, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, and color. The levels of total phenolic compounds, total anthocyanins, ascorbic acid content and antioxidant activity were measured. We concluded that there were significant differences in the chemical composition of berries and jams. There was also a significant loss of bioactive compounds due to processing, nevertheless these jams remain good sources of bioactive compounds, and are still considered important to promote some favorable health effects.

Fermented products have gained worldwide popularity for their nutritional and health aspects. Many studies have been done on this topic, including fermented cabbage (sauerkraut). Yet little or no studies are done on evaluation of fermented cabbage juice which is considered as by-product of sauerkraut production, still rich in bioactive compounds. In order to reduce food waste, sustainable solutions are being searched for to preserve valuable fermented cabbage juice. The aim of this study was to evaluate chemical and physical composition of concentrated fermented cabbage juice and their changes after storage. The fermented cabbage juice was concentrated on falling film evaporator from 9.2 till 34.3 °Brix. Physio-chemical (moisture, pH, total soluble solids, total phenol content, antiradical activity by DPPH and ABTS+, ascorbic acid, total sugar profile, nitrates and minerals) and microbiological (lactic acid bacteria, total plate count) analyses were carried out. Concentrated fermented cabbage juice is a source of minerals and phenol compounds as well as salt substitute in food applications. After 6 months of storage there is significant degradation of ascorbic acid but total phenol content is not affected. The evaporation process did not inhibit microbiological activity; as a result, there is a decrease in lactic acid bacteria but increase in total plate count.

Five mangos cultivars (Mangifera indica L., `Palmer', `Keitt', `Spring Field', `Kent', and `Anderson') were harvested at the preclimacteric stage. Fruits were selected for study that were uniform and free of visual defects and stored for 18 days at 10 °C, 90% to 95 % RH. Fruits were evaluated every 3 days for pulp and peel color, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid content, and total and reducing sugars. Pulp and peel color parameters (lightness, hue, and chroma) were significantly different among cultivars. The soluble solids content, ascorbic acid, and starch content changed significantly during storage and were significantly different among cultivars. Total and reducing sugars content did not change significantly after 10 days of storage. Results of this study indicated that these five mango cultivars have good storage potential.

This study aimed to investigate the influences of fermentation at 37 °C for 3 days by different lactic acid bacterium strains, Lactobacillus plantarum (17a), Weissella cibaria (21), Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides (56), W. cibaria (64) or L. plantarum (75), on color, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of African nightshade (leaves). Results indicated fermentation with L. plantarum 75 strain significantly decreased the pH and total soluble solids, and increased the concentration of ascorbic acid after 3 days. L. plantarum 75 strain limited the color modification in fermented nightshade leaves and increased the total polyphenol content and the antioxidant activity compared to the raw nightshade leaves. Overall, L. plantarum75 enhanced the functional potential of nightshade leaves and improved the bioavailability of gallic, vanillic acid, coumaric, ferulic ellagic acids, flavonoids (catechin, quercetin and luteolin) and ascorbic acid compared to the other lactic acid bacterium strains. Correlation analysis indicated that vanillic acid and p-coumaric acid were responsible for the increased antioxidant activity. Proximate analysis of the fermented nightshade leaves showed reduced carbohydrate content and low calculated energy.

ABSTRACT: Brazilian Cerrado fruits have a great diversity of bioactive compounds, with significant relevance for fresh consumption and industrial processing. The uvaia (Eugenia pyriformis Cambess) stands out among these fruits, seeing that this species contains high phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid levels. However, its technological and nutritional potential is still little explored industrially. This research aimed to develop three uvaia nectar formulations and to evaluate its stability during 90 days of storage. The formulations were made with 30%, 40%, and 50% of uvaia pulp, corresponding to F1, F2, and F3 formulations, respectively, which were characterized for pH, total titratable acidity, soluble solids, ascorbic acid, and total phenolics during 0, 30, 60, and 90 days of storage at room temperature. A significant pH reduction was observed after 30 days of storage for all nectars. The acidity and ascorbic acid levels increased in proportion to the addition in the pulp concentration of the formulations. The ascorbic acid content reduced over the storage period and remained higher for the formulations F2 and F3. The concentration of phenolic compounds was higher in the nectar containing relevant levels of uvaia pulp concentration, which increased throughout 30 days of storage, however, with a decrease after this period. The formulations containing 40% and 50% of uvaia pulp showed higher concentration and better stability of bioactive compounds. Uvaia can be considered an effective raw material for the development of a novel beverage with important nutritional and bioactive properties.

In the present work, experiments oriented to the preparation of lactic acid fermented juices from green peppers, with and without growth factors added, were realised. The study was performed with a view to investigate the Bifidobacterium sp. (BB-12) growth in the vegetable juice through analysis of the dynamics of important final products of fermentation. Particularly, the dynamics of some chemical parameters (reducing sugars, titratable acidity, volatile acidity, amino acids content, ascorbic acid content) and microbiological parameters (number of colony forming units) was compared. The stability of the juices was higher after 24 hours, because the lactic acid content increased from 2.43 to 9.45g/l, while the pH has faster decreased close to 5. The final values of this parameter were ranged from 4.81 to 4.45. Referring to the reducing sugars content, the yield of the lactic acid production can be qualified as good. The dynamics of the amino acids content during the lactic acid fermentation of juices underlined that this nitrogen source was utilized in the final stage of the process. A positive influence of the cysteine on the preservation of the ascorbic acid content of the lacto-fermented juice was exercised, this one being by 48.75 times higher than in the control sample. The obtained results can be an argument in the development of functional foods, but from this point of view, it is necessary to extend the researches to a great number of bifidogenic and/or growth factors.

Extraction of tropical fruit juice using simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly technologies is gaining importance to produce high quality juices. Juice from pink-fleshed guava, pink-fleshed pomelo, and soursop was extracted using direct and indirect thermosonication methods by varying intensity, time, and temperature, and compared to those extracted using water bath incubation. Improvised models of juice yield, ascorbic acid, and total soluble solids responses were generated by eliminating insignificant model terms of the factors in full quadratic model using backward eliminating procedure. Main effects, 3D, or 4D plots for each response were developed based on factors that influenced the response. Results showed that the best extraction method for guava and pomelo juices were within indirect thermosonication method of 1 kW, 55 °C and 30 min, and 2.5 kW, 54 °C and 23 min, respectively. Direct thermosonication method at 10% amplitude, 55 °C for 2 to 10 min was more suitable for soursop juice. Thermosonicated extraction of tropical fruit juice can improve its juice yield, ascorbic acid content, and total soluble solids content.
