Abstract
A functional fermented plant-based product was developed by using raw and roasted pistachio kernels. The product was prepared from aqueous pistachio slurries by heating and fermenting with a lactic culture. Antioxidant, ACE-inhibitory and α-amylase inhibitory activities along with soluble protein and phenolic contents of the products were measured during storage. Raw pistachios exhibited significant antioxidant and ACE-inhibitory activity along with a low level of α-amylase inhibitory activity which were further enhanced by fermentation with the lactic culture. On the other hand, roasting pretreatment resulted in lower soluble protein content, antioxidant activity, phenolic content and consequently lower bioactivity in the end product. Plant-based pistachio products can be manufactured from raw pistachios in order to obtain high antioxidant and ACE-inhibitory activities.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Science and Technology (JFST) is the official publication of the Association of Food Scientists and Technologists of India (AFSTI). This monthly publishes peer-reviewed research papers and reviews in all branches of science, technology, packaging and engineering of foods and food products. Special emphasis is given to fundamental and applied research findings that have potential for enhancing product quality, extend shelf life of fresh and processed food products and improve process efficiency. Critical reviews on new perspectives in food handling and processing, innovative and emerging technologies and trends and future research in food products and food industry byproducts are also welcome. The journal also publishes book reviews relevant to all aspects of food science, technology and engineering.
