Abstract
Undaria pinnatifida, a nutrient-rich seaweed, holds potential for the alcoholic beverage industry. This study optimized the ultrasonic processing of Undaria blend liquor (UBL) and the fermentation of Undaria fermented wine (UFW) while identifying volatile components and assessing antioxidant properties. After optimization, UBL had a polysaccharide content (PC) of 0.66 g/L and an alcohol content (AC) of 39.2 % vol, while UFW showed a PC of 9.81 g/L and an AC of 8.3 % vol. HS-SPME-GC × GC-TOF-MS analysis identified 34 characteristic volatile compounds, with esters as the predominant class. UBL was featured by notably high levels of ester compounds, while UFW contained fatty acids leading to distinct flavor profiles. Antioxidant assays revealed that both beverages demonstrated free radical scavenging activity in a dose-dependent manner. These findings highlight the potential of Undaria as a novel resource for developing functional and flavorful alcoholic beverages, contributing to innovation in the food and liquor industries.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
