离子交换和吸附相结合抑制浓缩酥梨汁褐变的研究

该文研究离子交换和吸附相结合技术在降低、控制浓缩砀山酥梨汁褐变中的应用。将20 °Brix砀山酥梨汁依次经FPC-21阳离子交换树脂和XAD-16大孔吸附树脂处理后,减压浓缩至70 °Brix,贮存,检测褐变指数等指标的变化。结果显示,阳离子树脂处理可降低酥梨汁的pH值、氨基态氮和褐变指数;降低pH值可提高吸附树脂对酥梨汁的脱色能力;降低pH值、氨基态氮可控制70 °Brix浓缩酥梨汁贮存中褐变速度。采用阳离子树脂处理将酥梨汁的pH值降低为4.05,再经吸附树脂将色值提高为85%,浓缩至70 °Brix的酥梨汁在37℃下贮存35 d后,色值仍大于45%,符合出口要求。     

Citrus juice extraction systems: effect on chemical composition and antioxidant activity of clementine juice

Clementines are especially appreciated for their delicious flavor, and recent years have seen a great increase in the consumption of clementine juice. In previous decades, antioxidant compounds have received particular attention because of widely demonstrated beneficial health effects. In this work, the organoleptic, volatile flavor, and antioxidant quality of clementine juice were studied with regard to the influence on them by different juice extraction systems: plug inside fruit and rotating cylinders. The results showed that juice extracted by the former method presented higher yields and hesperidin content, which was related to higher antioxidant activity, demonstrated by ORAC and LDL assays. The organoleptic quality was not affected by the processing technique, whereas there were significant differences in the chemical flavor profile. There are important differences in chemical and functional quality between juice extraction techniques, which must be taken into account when employing processing systems to produce high-quality products.     

Physico-chemical characteristics of nanovesicle-carbohydrate complexes in grape juice concentrate

It is generally assumed that polyphenols, such as anthocyanins in fruit juice, exist in a free soluble state and are readily available for absorption in the gastro-intestinal tract. In the present study, we have investigated the interaction of polyphenols with soluble carbohydrate polymers, such as pectin and lipid nanovesicles, that are generated during homogenization of the fruit tissue during juice extraction. A commercially available grape juice concentrate contained nearly 25% of polyphenol fraction bound to macromolecules that were nondialyzable. Treatment of dialyzed juice with cellulase, pectinase, and beta-galactosidase did not cause the release of bound polyphenols; however, treatment with triton X-100 caused an increased release of bound polyphenols. The dialyzate contained relatively more -3-O glucosides and -3-O-acetoyl glucosides in comparison to the bound fraction which was enriched in -3-O-coumaroyl glucosides, suggesting qualitative differences in the bound and the free anthocyanin composition. Electron microscopic analysis of the juice fractions revealed the presence of electron-dense nanovesicle-fiber complexes ranging from 10 to 200 nm in diameter. Such complexes were absent in the dialyzate fraction. Cellulase treatment did not change the morphology of the complexes; however, treatment with pectinase and beta-galactosidase disrupted the complexes, releasing vesicular structures, suggestive of the pectin nature of the fibrous matrix. The dialyzed and the dialyzate fractions also showed differences in their 1H NMR and fluorescence spectral characteristics. The dialyzed fraction containing polyphenol-pectin complexes showed no superoxide scavenging capacity, reduced hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, and high 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity, indicating potential changes in functionality because of the complex formation.

Aroma composition changes in early season grapefruit juice produced from thermal concentration

Differences in aroma components and total volatiles between a single unpasteurized Marsh grapefruit juice and its 65 Brix concentrate reconstituted to 10 Brix were examined using GC-olfactometry (GC-O) and GC-FID. Total volatiles (FID) in the reconstituted concentrate were reduced to less than 5% of initial values, but 57% of total aroma (GC-O) remained. Forty-one aroma-active compounds were observed in unpasteurized single strength juice, whereas 27 components were found in the unflavored reconstituted concentrate. Aroma-active compounds were classified into grapefruit/sulfury, sweet/fruity, fresh/citrusy, green/fatty/metallic, and cooked/meaty groups. Five of six components in the sweet/fruity and 14 of 18 green/fatty/metallic components survived thermal concentration. However, only 4-mercapto-4-methyl-2-pentanone in the grapefruit/sulfury group, and linalool and nootkatone from the fresh/citrusy group, were found in the reconstituted concentrate. Methional was the only aroma compound in the cooked/meaty category found in both juice types. beta-Damascenone and 1-p-menthen-8-thiol were found only in the reconstituted concentrate. 4-Mercapto-4-methyl-2-pentanol was found for the first time in grapefruit juice.     

Use of cyclodextrins as secondary antioxidants to improve the color of fresh pear juice

In this paper, the color of fresh pear juice was evaluated for the first time in the presence of some natural and modified cyclodextrins (CDs) and the effect of these compounds as browning inhibitors was determined using the color space CIELAB system. Furthermore, because contradictory claims have been published concerning the mechanism by which enzymatic browning is inhibited by CDs, a kinetic model in the presence of CDs is proposed and the corresponding apparent complexation constants between the mixtures of diphenols present in pear juice and alpha-, beta-, and maltosyl-beta-CD have been calculated. Moreover, pear juice color was studied in the presence of different polyphenoloxidase inhibitors. Finally, we show that maltosyl-beta-CD enhances the ability of ascorbic acid to prevent enzymatic browning because of the protection that maltosyl-beta-CD offers against ascorbic acid oxidation. In this respect, maltosyl-beta-CD seems to act as a "secondary antioxidant", reducing pear juice browning and enhancing the naturally occurring antioxidant capacity of pear juice.     

杨梅澄清汁及浓缩汁中花色苷热降解动力学的研究

杨梅花色苷易受温度、pH值等因素的影响而发生降解,是导致产品外观品质变劣的主要原因。本文研究了杨梅澄清汁及浓缩汁内花色苷在不同pH值和不同加热温度下的热稳定性。花色苷降解动力学数据的分析结果表明：杨梅花色苷热降解属动力学一级反应,随着pH值和温度的升高,杨梅花色苷降解的半衰期(t_1/2)和热降解活化能(Ea)显著下降,即花色苷的降解速度增大;同一处理条件下,浓缩果汁的t_1/2明显低于澄清汁。而反应速率常数k和Ea值大于澄清果汁,说明澄清汁花色苷的热稳定性优于浓缩汁。

Adulteration of apple with pear juice: emphasis on major carbohydrates, proline, and arbutin

Detection of juice-to-juice adulteration based on chemical composition studies is a common method used by government regulatory agencies and food companies. This study investigated the use of major carbohydrate (fructose, glucose and sucrose), polyol (sorbitol), proline, and phenolic profiles as indicators of pear adulteration of apple juice (PAAJ). For this work, a total of 105 authentic apple juice samples from 13 countries and 27 authentic pear juice samples from 5 countries were analyzed. Because the major carbohydrate ranges for these juices showed significant overlap their use as markers for PAAJ detection would be very limited. It was found that sorbitol and proline means for apple and pear were significantly different; however, their broad natural ranges would afford PAAJ at levels up to 30% without detection. In addition, careful selection of the pear juice used as the adulterant would further limit the usefulness of these markers for PAAJ detection. Arbutin was conclusively identified as a marker for pear juice on the basis of its presence in all 27 authentic pear samples and its absence (<0.5 microg/mL) in all 105 apple juice samples analyzed in this study. The application of the developed HPLC-PDA method for arbutin analysis to detect PAAJ at levels as low as 2% (v/v) was demonstrated. A confirmation method for the presence of arbutin in pure pear juice and apple adulterated with pear juice was introduced on the basis of the hydrolysis of arbutin to hydroquinone employing beta-glucosidase, with reactant and product monitoring by HPLC-PDA.     

Detection of apple juice concentrate in the manufacture of natural and sparkling cider by means of HPLC chemometric sugar analyses

An HPLC method for sugar analyses in cider was used in order to detect the presence of apple juice concentrate. Sugars, previously derivatized with p-aminobenzoic ethyl ester, were analyzed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography using a C(8) column and a mobile phase of citrate buffer pH 5.5/tetrahydrofuran/acetonitrile, operated in gradient mode. The use of this analytical procedure together with chemometric techniques, such as principal component analysis and Bayesean analysis, allowed the authors to establish the minimum concentration of apple juice concentrate obtained by liquefaction or press technology that can be detected in natural cider.     

Processing effects on the composition of sea buckthorn juice from Hippophae rhamnoides L. Cv. Indian Summer.

Sea buckthorn juice is one product that can be derived from the sea buckthorn berry, a new alternative crop for the Canadian western provinces. Fresh pressed juice separates into three phases when allowed to stand overnight in the refrigerator: an upper cream phase, juice in the middle portion, and a sediment at the bottom. Enzymatic hydrolysis with commercial, broad spectrum carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzyme preparations reduced the juice viscosity, assisted juice separation, and provided an opalescent juice. Soluble solids averaged 10.2 degrees Brix, pH averaged 3.13, ascorbic acid averaged 174.2 mg/100 mL, and titratable acidity averaged 1.97% as malic acid all determined on centrifuged (10 000 rpm, 15 min) juice. Soluble sugars included glucose, fructose, and an unidentified component that was not sucrose or other common soluble monomeric or dimeric sugar. Quinic acid was quantitatively most important, while malic was next, and oxalic, citric, and tartaric acids were minor components. Washing berries by dipping reduced soluble solids (degrees Brix) in juice suggesting uptake of wash water.     

Effect of pesticide residues on the aromatic composition of red wines.

The influence of pesticide residues on the aromatic composition (major and minor volatiles) of red wines made from Vitis vinifera (Monastrell var.) was studied by comparing the concentration of aromas in wines made from grapes subjected (or not) to phytosanitary treatment with chlorpyrifos, fenarimol, mancozeb, metalaxyl, penconazole, and vinclozolin, according to the agricultural practice of the area. The analytical determination of the major volatiles was made by gas chromatography using a flame ionization detector, while the minor volatiles were determined by adsorption-thermal desorption gas chromatography using a mass selective detector. There were significant differences between the ethyl acetate, methanol, isobutanol, and diethylacetal levels of the control wine and that containing chlorpyrifos residues, although only the ethyl acetate exceeded the olfactory threshold. With regard to the minor volatiles, significant differences were detected in the concentrations of some esters, aldehydes, and acids. However, only isoamyl acetate exceeded the olfactory threshold in wines containing residues of chlorpyrifos, fenarimol, and vinclozolin.     

Insecticidal effect and chemical composition of the volatile oil from Bergenia ligulata

Effect of pectolytic enzyme preparations on the phenolic composition and antioxidant activity of asparagus juice

Commercial pectolytic enzymes were investigated for their influence on phenolics and antioxidant activities of asparagus juice. The antioxidant activity of asparagus juice was analyzed according to 2,2'-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) methods. The enzymes, with the exception of pectinase from Rhizopus sp., contained rutinase, which hydrolyzed rutin to quercetin. Asparagus juice treated with Viscozyme had the highest quercetin content without exhibiting a significant increase in the antioxidant activity. For a pectinase from Aspergillus niger, the antioxidant activity of asparagus juice was markedly reduced. Caution should be paid in the selection of pectolytic enzyme preparations for production of antioxidant activity-rich juice.     

Concentrations and composition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the granulodensimetric fractions of soils in Moscow parks
