Demircan B, Velioglu YS. Improving fresh-cut fruit salad quality and longevity with chitosan coating enriched with poppy seed phenolics. Food Sci Nutr 2024; 12:3696-3713. [PMID: 38726399 PMCID: PMC11077256 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.4040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
This innovative study introduces the application of a 5% (v/v) poppy seed phenolic extract-infused edible chitosan coating on fresh-cut fruit salads (comprising apple, pineapple, pomegranate, and kiwi) stored at +4°C for 12 days. Non-coated samples experienced notable changes: 4.30% weight loss, 25% decay, pH level at 3.59, titratable acidity of 0.18%, and browning index of 1.71. In contrast, fruit salads coated with chitosan-poppy seed phenolic extract exhibited significant improvements: weight loss reduced to 3.10%, decay limited to 3.13%, pH increased to 3.76, titratable acidity enhanced to 0.20%, and browning index notably decreased to 0.33. Soluble solids ranged from 11.83 to 14.71, L* from -8.13 to 18.64, a* from -1.85 to 22.35, and b* from 8.26 to 27.89 in non-coated salads. Adding poppy seed phenolic extract to the coated fruits slightly expanded these ranges. Sensory evaluations consistently rated non-coated samples between 1 and 3, while the coated samples received higher ratings between 6 and 7. These assessments consistently highlighted enhanced attributes, including intensified aroma, enriched color, improved taste, texture, and overall acceptability. Moreover, incorporating poppy seed phenolic extract amplified sensory qualities and significantly improved microbial safety (<106 CFU/g). In summary, the chitosan-based coating, enriched with poppy seed phenolic extract, effectively extended the shelf life of fresh-cut fruit salads. This integrated approach preserves key attributes, ensures microbial quality, and enhances the sensory characteristics of these products. The study's results emphasize its potential as a pivotal innovation in food preservation by providing specific and tangible outcomes.

High-Pressure Processing Effects on Microbiological Stability, Physicochemical Properties, and Volatile Profile of a Fruit Salad. Foods 2024; 13:1304. [PMID: 38731676 PMCID: PMC11083073 DOI: 10.3390/foods13091304] [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: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Nowadays, consumers are more aware of the effects of their diet on their health, and thus demand natural or minimally processed food products. Therefore, research has focused on processes that assure safe products without jeopardizing their nutritional properties. In this context, this work aimed to evaluate the effects of high-pressure processing (550 MPa/3 min/15 °C, HPP) on a fruit salad (composed of melon juice and pieces of Golden apple and Rocha pear) throughout 35 days of storage at 4 °C. For the physicochemical properties analysed (browning degree, polyphenol oxidase activity, antioxidant activity (ABTS assay), and volatile profile), a freshly made fruit salad was used, while for the microbiological tests (total aerobic mesophiles, and yeast and moulds) spoiled melon juice was added to the fruit salad to increase the microbial load and mimic a challenge test with a high initial microbial load. It was determined that processed samples were more microbiologically stable than raw samples, as HPP enabled a reduction of almost 4-log units of both total aerobic mesophiles and yeasts and moulds, as well as an almost 1.5-fold increase in titratable acidity of the unprocessed samples compared to HPP samples. Regarding browning degree, a significant increase (p < 0.05) was observed in processed versus unprocessed samples (roughly/maximum 68%), while the addition of ascorbic acid decreased the browning of the samples by 29%. For antioxidant activity, there were no significant differences between raw and processed samples during the 35 days of storage. An increase in the activity of polyphenol oxidase immediately after processing (about 150%) was confirmed, which was generally similar or higher during storage compared with the raw samples. Regarding the volatile profile of the product, it was seen that the compounds associated with melon represented the biggest relative percentage and processed samples revealed a decrease in the relative quantity of these compounds compared to unprocessed. Broadly speaking, HPP was shown to be efficient in maintaining the stability and overall quality of the product while assuring microbial safety (by inactivating purposely inoculated microorganisms), which allows for longer shelf life (7 versus 28 days for unprocessed and processed fruit salad, respectively).

Demircan B, Velioglu YS. Control of Browning, Enzyme Activity, and Quality in Stored Fresh-cut Fruit Salads through Chitosan Coating Enriched with Bergamot Juice Powder. Foods 2024; 13:147. [PMID: 38201175 PMCID: PMC10779034 DOI: 10.3390/foods13010147] [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: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, fresh-cut fruit salads composed of apples, pears, kiwis, and pineapples were stored at +4 °C for 18 days under distinct conditions: non-coated (NC), chitosan-coated (CH), and bergamot juice powder extract-enriched chitosan-coated (CHBE). Storage endpoint decay percentages were as follows: NC group: 100%, CH group: 26.67-53.3%, CHBE group: 13.33-26.67%. CHBE had the highest moisture content (87.05-89.64%), soluble solids (12.40-13.26%), and chroma values (2.35-6.60). CHBE and NC groups had 2.10% and 6.61% weight loss, respectively. The NC group had the highest polyphenol oxidase activity (19.48 U mL-1) and browning index (0.70 A420/g); CH group: 0.85 U mL-1, 0.35 A420/g; CHBE group: 0.57 U mL-1, 0.27 A420/g. CHBE showed a titratable acidity of 1.33% and pH 3.73 post-storage, impeding microbial proliferation with the lowest counts (2.30-3.24 log CFU g-1). The microbial suitability of the NC group diminished after day 6, with an overall preference score of 1.00. Conversely, the CH and CHBE groups scored 3.15 and 4.56, highlighting the coatings' effectiveness. Bergamot juice powder extract further enhanced this, mitigating browning and enhancing quality. Results reveal tailored coatings' potential to extend shelf life, improve quality, and enhance fruit salads' acceptability. This study underscores the importance of edible coatings in addressing preservation challenges, emphasizing their role in enhancing food quality and consumer acceptability. Incorporating edible coatings is pivotal in mitigating deterioration issues and ensuring the overall success of fresh-cut fruit products in the market.

Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) and High-Power Ultrasound (HPU) in the Hurdle Concept for the Preservation of Antioxidant Bioactive Compounds of Strawberry Juice-A Chemometric Evaluation-Part I. Foods 2023; 12:3172. [PMID: 37685106 PMCID: PMC10486361 DOI: 10.3390/foods12173172] [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: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
This work investigated the influence of pulsed electric field (PEF) and high-power ultrasound (HPU) combined with hurdle technology to preserve the bioactive compounds (BACs) content and antioxidant activity in stored strawberry juices. PEF was performed at 30 kV cm-1, 100 Hz during 1.5, 3, and 4.5 min, while HPU was performed at 25% amplitude and 50% pulse during 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 min. Total phenols and hydroxycinnamic acids were the most stable BACs during the hurdle treatment without influence of the duration of both treatments, while flavonols and condensed tannins showed a significant stability dependence with respect to the duration of both treatments. Total phenols were also stable during storage, in contrast to the individual groups of BACs studied. A chemometric approach was used to optimize the parameters of the hurdle treatments with respect to the highest level of BACs and the antioxidant activity of the treated juices. In general, shorter treatment times in the hurdle approach resulted in better stability of BACs and antioxidant activity. The hurdle technology investigated in this study has the strong potential to be an excellent concept for optimizing the operating parameters of PEF and HPU technologies in the preservation of functional foods.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasound combined with calcium lactate (2%, w/v) treatment (U + Ca) on calcium permeation and firmness of cherry tomatoes. Calcium distribution and fruit pectin nanostructure were also analysed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The firmness (31.45 N) was maintained when ultrasound energy density was 20 W/L for 15 min at 15 °C. The Ca content increased in U + Ca treated fruit. Meanwhile, the Peleg's model could be used to express the change of solid gain in cherry tomatoes under ultrasound treatment at 15, 20, and 25 °C. According to the AFM results, the width (≥40 nm) and length (≥2 μm) of chelate-soluble pectin (CSP) and sodium carbonate-soluble pectin (SSP) chains with large frequency was observed in U + Ca treated fruit. Under desirable conditions (15 °C, 15 min, 20 W/L), ultrasound combined with calcium lactate could maintain the quality of cherry tomatoes.

Abstract
Lychee pulp is rich in phenolics and has a variety of biological activities. However, the changes in the phenolic profile under heat treatment are unknown. The effect of the heat treatment temperature on commercial varieties (Guiwei and Nuomici) of canned lychee was investigated by comparing samples that were either unheated (UH), underwent 70 °C heat treatment (HT70) or underwent 121 °C heat treatment (HT121) and then were stored at room temperature. The results showed that the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and antioxidant activity of the UH, HT70 and HT121 samples were significantly decreased after storage at room temperature for 9 d, 13 d and 25 d, respectively. However, the TPC, TFC and antioxidant activity of HT121 canned lychee were still significantly higher than those of the UH and HT70 samples. However, the texture characteristics of the HT121 samples were worse than those of the UH and HT70 samples, and the color of the canned lychee was darker after the HT121 treatment. Nine individual phenolic compounds were detected in the canned lychee by HPLC-DAD. The gallic acid content was increased after HT121 treatment. In particular, (−)-gallocatechin was generated by HT121 thermal processing. However, after storage at room temperature for 9 d, the contents of (−)-gallocatechin in canned Guiwei and Nuomici were decreased by 96.27% and 94.04%, respectively, and (−)-gallocatechin disappeared after 25 d. In summary, the phenolic contents and antioxidant activity of canned lychee are increased by high-temperature treatment. Lychee pulp is rich in phenolics and has a variety of biological activities.![]()
