Abstract

The multibillion-dollar carbonated beverage industry is currently facing questions from health-conscious consumers over negative health effects of such beverages. Decreasing consumption trends have forced companies to look for healthier choices for their products. C-phycocyanin CPC, a bright blue cyanobacterial pigment with anti-oxidant and other health benefits has been proposed as a candidate in edible drinks. We found that CPC is stable in a wide pH and temperature regime. Reaction kinetics for 12 weeks at 4 °C in non-alcoholic carbonated beverages (B1-B4) showed that B3 (sweetened, ~30 % degradation) best preserved CPC integrity while B1 (non-sweetened, ~87 % degradation) was ineffective. Other beverages (sweetened) could preserve ~ 49 % CPC integrity. Behnajady-Modirshahla-Ghanbary and first order kinetic models explained CPC degradation with and without preservative (sucrose), respectively. The ’consume-by’ times suggest possible refrigeration from ~ 13 hours to 27 days for various CPC-containing beverages. Results suggest CPC could be filter-sterilized and added to non-alcoholic beverages before being packaged in cans or tetra packs to avoid light exposure.

评估 C-花青素作为非酒精碳酸饮料天然着色剂的潜力

价值数十亿美元的碳酸饮料行业目前正面临着注重健康的消费者对这类饮料的负面健康影响提出的质疑。消费下降的趋势迫使公司为其产品寻找更健康的选择。C-phycocyanin CPC 是一种亮蓝色的蓝藻色素，具有抗氧化和其他健康益处，已被提议作为可食用饮料的候选物质。我们发现，CPC 在较宽的 pH 值和温度范围内都很稳定。在不含酒精的碳酸饮料（B1-B4）中 4 ℃ 12 周的反应动力学表明，B3（加糖，降解约 30%）最能保持 CPC 的完整性，而 B1（不加糖，降解约 87%）则无效。其他饮料（加甜）可保持约 49% 的 CPC 完整性。Behnajady-Modirshahla-Ghanbary 和一阶动力学模型分别解释了有防腐剂（蔗糖）和无防腐剂的 CPC 降解。饮用 "时间表明，各种含 CPC 的饮料可冷藏 13 小时至 27 天不等。研究结果表明，在将 CPC 装入罐头或利乐包装之前，可将其过滤消毒并添加到非酒精饮料中，以避免光照。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Phycology publishes work on the rapidly expanding subject of the commercial use of algae. The journal accepts submissions on fundamental research, development of techniques and practical applications in such areas as algal and cyanobacterial biotechnology and genetic engineering, tissues culture, culture collections, commercially useful micro-algae and their products, mariculture, algalization and soil fertility, pollution and fouling, monitoring, toxicity tests, toxic compounds, antibiotics and other biologically active compounds. Each issue of the Journal of Applied Phycology also includes a short section for brief notes and general information on new products, patents and company news.
