Abstract
Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott is rich in bioactive compounds, but its poor sensory properties limit its acceptance and further utilization. This study examined Lactobacillus plantarum 1243 fermentation impact on fermented A. melanocarpa juice (FAJ)’s quality properties, flavor profile, and metabolites. Bacterial growth peaked then declined, increasing acidity while lowering pH. Total phenolics, flavonoids, and sugars decreased, but DPPH activity remained stable. Sensory scores improved for color and acceptability. Flavor profiling revealed increases in aromatic compounds, benzene derivatives, aliphatic aromatics, and methyl compounds, enriching FAJ's characteristic aroma. Metabolomic analysis identified significant alterations between 0 and 48 h, particularly in organic acids, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins, suggesting improved bioavailability. Increased levels of catechol, flavonoids, and dimethyl fumarate were associated with enhanced bioactivity. These findings indicate that fermentation with L. plantarum 1243 can effectively enhance the flavor, nutritional profile, and functional properties of FAJ.
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.
