Hurtado-Murillo J, Franco W, Contardo I. Role of Quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa Willd) and Chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) Ratio in Physicochemical Stability and Microbiological Quality of Fermented Plant-Based Beverages during Storage. Foods 2024; 13:2462. [PMID: 39123653 PMCID: PMC11312257 DOI: 10.3390/foods13152462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Three different fermented plant-based beverages were prepared and stored for a long period (50 days) to assess the effect of the quinoa-to-chickpea ratio on physicochemical stability and microbiological quality. Physicochemical stability was evaluated based on pH, acidity, Brix degrees, water-holding capacity (WHC), viscosity, and viscoelasticity. At the end of the long-term storage period, the pH, acidity, and WHC remained stable. During the entire storage period, the beverages maintained good bacterial, fungal, and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts. Quinoa and chickpea flour ratios of 50% showed a higher viscosity (18 Pa.s) and WHC (65%) during short-term storage (0-30 d), indicating that the presence of chickpea flour had a positive effect on these parameters, possibly because chickpea starch contains higher amounts of amylose and long-branch chain amylopectin, which impacts the retrogradation pattern under acidic and refrigerated conditions. However, at the end of storage (50 days), the same blend had a higher acidity, lower viscosity (0.78 Pa.s), and lower LAB counts (~1 × 108 CFU/mL), indicating that the increase in chickpea flour had an adverse long-term effect on these parameters. These results suggest that although different ratios of plant sources can improve the physical aspects, they need to be incorporated in a balanced manner to avoid negative effects on both short- and long-term storage, owing to the incorporation of different types of starches and proteins affecting the stability of the system.

Abstract
The nutritional benefits of combining probiotics with plant proteins have sparked increasing research interest and drawn significant attention. The interactions between plant proteins and probiotics demonstrate substantial potential for enhancing the functionality of plant proteins. Fermented plant protein foods offer a unique blend of bioactive components and beneficial microorganisms that can enhance gut health and combat chronic diseases. Utilizing various probiotic strains and plant protein sources opens doors to develop innovative probiotic products with enhanced functionalities. Nonetheless, the mechanisms and synergistic effects of these interactions remain not fully understood. This review aims to delve into the roles of promoting health through the intricate interplay of plant proteins and probiotics. The regulatory mechanisms have been elucidated to showcase the synergistic effects, accompanied by a discussion on the challenges and future research prospects. It is essential to recognize that the interactions between plant proteins and probiotics encompass multiple mechanisms, highlighting the need for further research to address challenges in achieving a comprehensive understanding of these mechanisms and their associated health benefits.

PLANT FOODS FOR HUMAN NUTRITION (DORDRECHT, NETHERLANDS) 2023; 78:584-589.

Abstract
There is an increasing demand for non-dairy probiotic food due to the constraints associated with dairy probiotics. In this study, a co-culture synbiotic beverage was prepared using a mixture of mung bean and rye sprouts inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum (B-28) and Lactobacillus casei (B-29), along with inulin and oligofructose as prebiotics. The effects of prebiotic addition and starter culture on the survival of probiotics during cold storage and simulated gastric conditions were examined. Additionally, titratable acidity, pH, phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and sensory characteristics were evaluated over a 28-day period. The resulting product demonstrated good survival for L. casei (107 CFU.ml-1) and L. plantarum (106 CFU.ml-1) after 4 weeks under refrigeration with no significant changes in quality. The samples exhibited significantly high total phenolic content (TPC), ranging from 19.18 to 25.75 mg GAE/100 mL, which L. casei-containing drinks exhibited the highest TPC activity (p < 0.05). All treatments showed a significant reduction in probiotic survival during gastrointestinal digestion in the laboratory conditions (p < 0.05), although more than 50% survival was observed for all strains. The addition of prebiotics to the beverages led to a significant decrease in phenolic content (p < 0.05), but improved sensory scores. The highest turbidity was observed in the sample containing both probiotics and inulin on the 28th day at 38.1 (NTU). In general, the synergistic effect of probiotics was more pronounced when used together with both prebiotics in the beverages compared to their individual use. The results suggest that the production of this beverage could serve as a nutritious alternative to lactose-sensitive dairy beverages and contribute to the development of future probiotic food products.

Abstract
Techniques capable of producing small-sized probiotic microcapsules with high encapsulation yields are of industrial and scientific interest. In this study, an innovative membrane emulsification system was investigated in the production of microcapsules containing Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG® (Lr), sodium alginate (ALG), and whey protein (WPI), rice protein (RPC), or pea protein (PPC) as encapsulating agents. The microcapsules were characterized by particle size distribution, optical microscopy, encapsulation yield, morphology, water activity, hygroscopicity, thermal properties, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and probiotic survival during in vitro simulation of gastrointestinal conditions. The innovative encapsulation technique resulted in microcapsules with diameters varying between 18 and 29 μm, and encapsulation yields > 93%. Combining alginate and whey, rice, or pea protein improved encapsulation efficiency and thermal properties. The encapsulation provided resistance to gastrointestinal fluids, resulting in high probiotic viability at the end of the intestinal phase (> 7.18 log CFU g-1). The proposed encapsulation technology represents an attractive alternative to developing probiotic microcapsules for future food applications.
