Book Effect of Processing on the Antioxidant Activity and Other Quality Parameters of Muscadine Grape Juice

Download or read book Effect of Processing on the Antioxidant Activity and Other Quality Parameters of Muscadine Grape Juice written by Siddhi Thakkar and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muscadine grapes are native to southeastern parts of the United States. They are widely processed into juices and wines. They contain high amounts of polyphenols that are generally known to have high levels of antioxidant activity, offering potential health benefits. Since the juice is always consumed after processing, the effect of processing on the antioxidant activity and other quality parameters needs to be determined. Unpasteurized Muscadine grape juice was obtained from Paulk vineyards in Georgia. Juice was thermally pasteurized at 85 °C for 53 s. To obtain microbiologically safe conditions for High Pressure Processing (HPP) of juice, microbial equivalence between thermal processing and HPP was established using Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain. For HPP, the juice was vacuum packed in pouches and processed at pressures ranging from 275 - 425 MPa for 5 - 15 min. Total phenolics in juice samples were measured using Folin - Ciocalteu method. The antioxidant activity was determined using chemical antioxidant assay - Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) and biological antioxidant assay - Cellular Antioxidant Activity (CAA) assay. 'Difference from Control' sensory test was performed to find the overall difference in the sensory quality of unpasteurized and processed juice samples. The effect storage time and temperature on total phenolics, ORAC value, color and ellagic acid content was determined for the processed juice samples. Results showed no significant change in total phenolics and ORAC value, after processing. Cellular antioxidant activity increased significantly in high pressure processed sample as compared to thermally processed sample. No overall difference was perceived during sensory evaluation between any of the samples. During storage, total phenolics and ORAC value decreased with time, but the choice of process had no impact on these parameters. Browning index (BI) calculated from measured color indicators, was different for thermally processed and high pressure processed samples, but both samples showed an increase in the BI with time. Ellagic acid content was found to be higher in high pressure processed storage samples compared to unpasteurized and thermally processed samples. Thus, HPP did not offer any special benefit over traditional thermal processing for Muscadine grape juice.

Book Antioxidant Properties of Muscadine Grape Products

Download or read book Antioxidant Properties of Muscadine Grape Products written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phenolic compounds present in grapes and wines may play a positive role in human nutrition, related to their positive protective action towards reducing the risks associated with heart disease and the scavenging properties toward free radicals associated with degenerative diseases. Noble and carlos grapes were either cold pressed at room temperature or hot pressed at 43 C followed by collection of their free run juices and fermentation to wines. Resulting pomaces were dried at 37 C, 49 C, and 60 C by convection and vacuum ovens. Juices, wines and pomaces were tested for total phenol content and antioxidant capacity via the oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay (ORAC). Carlos grape skin, seed and delipidized seed extracts were analyzed to determine their antioxidant activity in a safflower oil model system. Carlos grape skin and seed were dried at 60 C and extracted using ethyl acetate and water. The antioxidant activity of carlos grape extracts were compared to tert-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ) and propyl gallate (PG). Three levels (60, 180 and 300 milliequivalents of gallic acid) of extract were tested in an oil model system using the oxidative stability instrument (OSI) and conjugated diene, to measure levels of antioxidant activity. The objective of this research was to study the effects of processing on muscadine juices, wines and pomaces and to study the antioxidant properties of muscadine extracts in a lipid model system. Results of processing effects indicated that noble hot pressed juice and noble wine showed a significantly higher level of total phenols and total antioxidant capacity than for carlos samples. Total phenols indicated that all noble pomaces were significantly higher than carlos pomaces. Antioxidant capacity indicated no significant difference between noble and carlos dried samples. Analysis by OSI showed that ethyl acetate seed extracts at a level of 300 milliequilvalents of gallic acid was significantly higher than TBHQ and PG. Oxidative inde.

Book Anti glycative and Antioxidant Properties of Purple Muscadine and Concord Grape Juices and Their Wines

Download or read book Anti glycative and Antioxidant Properties of Purple Muscadine and Concord Grape Juices and Their Wines written by Andrew Austin Brock and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The regular consumption of foods and beverages rich in powerful antioxidant phytochemicals has been associated with reduced risks of chronic diseases. For this reason, the antioxidative and anti-glycative activities of Concord and muscadine grape juices and wines were investigated. Though the total phenolics' content of muscadine and Concord grape beverages were similar, the H-ORACFL value of muscadine products were significantly greater than those of Concord grape products. Furthermore, muscadine juice and wine retarded bovine serum albumin glycation to a greater extent than Concord juice and when incubations were performed on equi-volumetric and -phenolic bases. When applied to Caco-2 cells, muscadine products exhibited significantly greater cellular antioxidant activity than the Concord products. Interestingly, the juices of each grape displayed significantly greater anti-glycative and cellular antioxidant activity than their wines. These results indicate that consumption of muscadine products may offer greater health benefits than that of Concord products.

Book Innovative Food Processing Technologies

Download or read book Innovative Food Processing Technologies written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 2482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food process engineering, a branch of both food science and chemical engineering, has evolved over the years since its inception and still is a rapidly changing discipline. While traditionally the main objective of food process engineering was preservation and stabilization, the focus today has shifted to enhance health aspects, flavour and taste, nutrition, sustainable production, food security and also to ensure more diversity for the increasing demand of consumers. The food industry is becoming increasingly competitive and dynamic, and strives to develop high quality, freshly prepared food products. To achieve this objective, food manufacturers are today presented with a growing array of new technologies that have the potential to improve, or replace, conventional processing technologies, to deliver higher quality and better consumer targeted food products, which meet many, if not all, of the demands of the modern consumer. These new, or innovative, technologies are in various stages of development, including some still at the R&D stage, and others that have been commercialised as alternatives to conventional processing technologies. Food process engineering comprises a series of unit operations traditionally applied in the food industry. One major component of these operations relates to the application of heat, directly or indirectly, to provide foods free from pathogenic microorganisms, but also to enhance or intensify other processes, such as extraction, separation or modification of components. The last three decades have also witnessed the advent and adaptation of several operations, processes, and techniques aimed at producing high quality foods, with minimum alteration of sensory and nutritive properties. Some of these innovative technologies have significantly reduced the thermal component in food processing, offering alternative nonthermal methods. Food Processing Technologies: A Comprehensive Review, Three Volume Set covers the latest advances in innovative and nonthermal processing, such as high pressure, pulsed electric fields, radiofrequency, high intensity pulsed light, ultrasound, irradiation and new hurdle technology. Each section will have an introductory article covering the basic principles and applications of each technology, and in-depth articles covering the currently available equipment (and/or the current state of development), food quality and safety, application to various sectors, food laws and regulations, consumer acceptance, advancements and future scope. It will also contain case studies and examples to illustrate state-of-the-art applications. Each section will serve as an excellent reference to food industry professionals involved in the processing of a wide range of food categories, e.g., meat, seafood, beverage, dairy, eggs, fruits and vegetable products, spices, herbs among others.

Book Ultrafiltration of Grape Juice

Download or read book Ultrafiltration of Grape Juice written by Joseph Forchap Fombin and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultrafiltration (UF), using Romicon pilot-scale hollow-fiber cartridges (Model HFXS-MK11) in the batch mode, was investigated as a possible procedure for clarifying, stabilizing and preserving White Riesling (WR) and Thompson Seedless (ThS) grape juice. The effect of UF processing of SO2-treated or untreated juice, of process temperature and membrane molecular weight cut-off (MMWCO) on UF juice composition and quality, was determined. "Sparkling clear" pale light-colored UF permeates were obtained and subjected to storage stability trials at different temperatures. Juice parameters evaluated included proteins, phenolics, polyphenol oxidase (PPO), microorganisms, browning, haze and sensory properties. UF at elevated temperatures of up to 50°C, compared to lower temperatures, had the advantage of increased rate of filtration with decreases in browning or haze of clarified permeates and of markedly reduced microbial loads. UF of SO2-treated juices (13- 20 ppm free) had several advantages including further reduction in browning, haze, and microbial load, and complete inhibition of PPO activity. More proteins (34% - 92%) than phenolics (2% - 27%) were retained by UF membranes. However, more proteins and less phenolics were retained in SO2-treated than untreated juices. Increasing MMWCO from 10,000 to 100,000 had no effect on the retention of browning, haze, or microorganisms but decreased the retention of proteins from 58 percent to 34 percent in SO2-treated WR juice. A MMWCO of 50,000 or less retained essentially all PPO. ThS juice browned more than WR during juice preparation and UF processing, yet its clarified permeates were lighter. It contained less phenolics, more proteins and more PPO activity, and higher percentages of its proteins and phenolics were retained by UF membranes. UF juices processed with or without low concentrations of SO2 (13-20 ppm free) could be stored for at least one year at 1°C without fermentation spoilage. At 21°C only the treated juices could be stored for this long, untreated juices fermenting within one week. At 1°C, there was no increase in browning, but a gradual increase in haze upon storage, the latter being greater in untreated juices. At 21°C, browning increased gradually, resulting in pale golden juices but haze formation was markedly less than in juices stored at 1°C. Similar but accelerated changes occurred with storage at 38°C. The above changes correlated with the disappearance of free SO2. Although juices were preserved for up to one year, "absolute juice sterility" was never obtained. Leakages around the cartridge gaskets, rather than failure of membranes, was believed to be responsible. Sensory analysis detected no significant differences (p = 0.05) in color, aroma and taste between juices processed with SO at 30°C and 50°C. Juices processed without SO2 were not significantly different in color, but demonstrated small differences (p = 0.05) in aroma and taste. The SO2-treated and untreated juices at both processing temperatures, as well as treated juices stored at 21°C and 1°C for twelve months, were significantly different (p = 0.01) in color, aroma and taste. Although these juices had different flavor "characters," only small or no significant differences (p = 0.05) in desirability were detected. It is concluded that good quality clarified grape juice but of different flavor "character" can be produced by UF, either in the presence or absence of SO2. Both juice "styles" (± SO2) may find preferred use, but juices processed with SO2 have the advantage of ambient storage, retaining good quality after one year at 21°C. Recommended optimum processing conditions are 50°C, in the presence of minimal amounts of SO2 (13-20 ppm free), using membrane molecular weight cut-off of 30-50,000. However, application of the process to "cold-sterilization" of grape juice requires further evaluation.
