Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study evaluated which extraction methods among agitation (ethanol and water, 60 min), ultrasonic bath–assisted (ethanol and water, 15 min), and supercritical fluid extraction (CO₂ and ethanol, 40°C, 15 Mpa) would be superior for producing co-product extracts from seriguela (Spondias purpurea), caja (Spondias mombin), and umbu-caja (Spondias spp.). The bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds and potential prebiotic effects were also investigated. The in vitro prebiotic effect of the extracts was tested using Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-3), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB-12), and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (CNPC004) through cell viability and pH monitoring over 48 h, along with their prebiotic score against an enteric mixture (Escherichia coli). Ultrasonic bath–assisted extraction achieved the highest antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content across all extracts; in contrast, supercritical fluid extraction exhibited the lowest results, primarily for the seriguela extract (32.09 ± 0.89 mg GAE/100 g). Although the bioaccessibility of total phenolics and antioxidant capacity decreases after in vitro digestion, some individual phenolics exhibited high bioaccessibility levels, such as epicatechin gallate (135.5%) in caja extract and 125.3% in seriguela; catechin (106.6%) in seriguela; and gallic acid (108.5%) in umbu-caja. All extracts positively influenced probiotic viability, with a 2-log CFU/mL growth in all strains by the end of incubation. Seriguela extract showed the best results, with a final pH of 3.57 and higher cell counts, particularly for CNPC004 (9 log CFU/mL), and the highest prebiotic score among the co-products. These findings indicate that ultrasound-assisted extraction effectively captures phenolic compounds from Spondias co-products, suggesting promising biological applications due to the bioaccessibility and prebiotic activity of the phenolic compounds.
Practical Application: Extracts from Spondias fruit co-products offer innovative applications, combining antioxidant properties with potential prebiotic effects. These extracts can be utilized as functional ingredients in food products and nutraceuticals, highlighting their value in promoting health and well-being.
期刊介绍:
The goal of the Journal of Food Science is to offer scientists, researchers, and other food professionals the opportunity to share knowledge of scientific advancements in the myriad disciplines affecting their work, through a respected peer-reviewed publication. The Journal of Food Science serves as an international forum for vital research and developments in food science.
The range of topics covered in the journal include:
-Concise Reviews and Hypotheses in Food Science
-New Horizons in Food Research
-Integrated Food Science
-Food Chemistry
-Food Engineering, Materials Science, and Nanotechnology
-Food Microbiology and Safety
-Sensory and Consumer Sciences
-Health, Nutrition, and Food
-Toxicology and Chemical Food Safety
The Journal of Food Science publishes peer-reviewed articles that cover all aspects of food science, including safety and nutrition. Reviews should be 15 to 50 typewritten pages (including tables, figures, and references), should provide in-depth coverage of a narrowly defined topic, and should embody careful evaluation (weaknesses, strengths, explanation of discrepancies in results among similar studies) of all pertinent studies, so that insightful interpretations and conclusions can be presented. Hypothesis papers are especially appropriate in pioneering areas of research or important areas that are afflicted by scientific controversy.
