Camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia) and jambolan (Syzygium cumini) juice blend: sensory analysis and bioactive compounds stability

Fruit jellies are widely produced as a way to utilize fresh fruits, which are highly perishable. Orange a fruit widely consumed in Brazil, it has a significant amount of bioactive compounds. Despite the great progress in the development of jellies, several factors can change its useful life, among them is the packaging. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of packaging on the physicochemical, physical, microbiological and bioactive compounds stability of low-calorie orange jellies during storage. Analyses every 30 days during the 180 days of storage. The results showed that increased storage time led to a decrease in pH, reduction of the flow rate (polypropylene packaging), reduction in yellow intensity, and growth of fungi and yeasts (higher in polypropylene packaging). In contrast, luminosity, red intensity, moisture, total sugars, and the consistency index tended to remain stable during storage. The DPPH results showed an increase in the antioxidant activity and reduction of vitamin C throughout the period of storage, especially in polypropylene packaging. The total phenolic content was stable with a tendency to decrease during storage. Notably, vitamin C showed a positive correlation with antioxidant activity in jellies. Low-calorie orange jellies packaged in glass showed the least changes during storage.

Phytochemical Study

By using HRLC-MS spectra method, Phytochemical screening of leaves of Syzygium cumini L. were carried out. It is highly sensitive and used for rapid identification of bioactive compounds. These mass spectra are fingerprint of that compound which can be identified from the data library. It may be the first report of its kind to analyze the bioactive compounds of Syzygium cumini L. The phytochemical study indicates the presence of important bioactive compounds which can be used to treat many diseases in medical field. Phytochemical analysis of methanolic leaf extract of Syzygium cumini L. spectrum profile shows total 80 compounds, out of that 19 major compounds were confirmed on the basis of their retention time, mass, molecular formula and mass per charge ratio (m/z). The findings of this study suggested that, Syzygium cumini L. is a source of important bioactive compounds. It may be contributing natural antimicrobial, antioxident, anti-inflammentary activity and further investigations which may lead to the development of drug formulation.
