Effect of Lactic Fermentation and Cooking on Nutrient and Mineral Digestibility of Peas.

Peas are prospectively beneficial legumes in the human diet, and especially in a vegan and vegetarian diet, due to their high content of proteins and starch. Their frequent lack of appeal in human nutrition can be caused by their bloating effect and the content of some antinutritional compounds inhibiting the absorption of important nutrients. This study brings a comprehensive comparison of the nutrient content of pea flour after cooking and lactic fermentation before and after digestion in vitro. As a control sample, raw pea flour was used (sample 1). Raw pea flour was cooked for 10 min (sample 2) and 120 min (sample 3) at 100°C or it was fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum (sample 4) and cooked for 10 min at 100°C (sample 5). The samples were analyzed for protein and amino acids content, maltose, glucose, raffinose, total polyphenols, phytic acid, phytase, and mineral composition (P, Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn) before and after in vitro digestion. The results showed a significant (p < 0.05) increase in the protein digestibility of samples 3, 4 and 5. In the fermented samples were observed a higher concentration of Cys, Met, and Gln when compared to non-fermented samples. The fermentation of pea flour resulted in a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in glucose, maltose, and raffinose content. Cooking of pea flour for 10 and 120 min, but not fermenting, significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the polyphenols content. Cooking and fermentation together did not affect phytic acid concentration and phytase activity. Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu and, Zn concentration in pea flour was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased by cooking. On the other hand, fermentation significantly (p<0.05) improved the bioaccessibility of Mn and Fe. These findings suggest that lactic fermentation of pea flour is a promising culinary preparation that can improve the digestibility of peas.

Effect of lactic fermentation, microwave, and ultrasonic extraction on the bioactive compounds from Anoectochilus formosanus Hayata

Anoectochilus formosanus (family Orchidaceae) is a perennial herb that contains many bioactive valuable. In this study, the extract efficiency of bioactive compounds from Anoectochilus formosanus Hayata by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasonicassisted extraction (UAE) treatments, and lactic fermentation in individual and combined impacts were evaluated through the total phenolic content, total polysaccharide content, and antioxidant activity. The results showed that MAE and UAE treatments and lactic fermentation enhanced the effective extraction of bioactive compounds compared to the control samples. The bioactive compound contents from A. formosanus fluid trend differences in individual treatment factors. However, there was no significant difference between these treatment factors in which the fermentation process requires more time to reach the expected extraction efficiency. The ultrasonic pretreatment combined lactic fermentation process would bring many benefits; first, no need for more the MAE treatment; second, reduce fermentation time; third, bring a probiotic source as well as valuable metabolic products from the lactic fermentation process.

Effect of lactic fermentation on nutritional potential of multigrain flours based on wheat, rye and oat

This study was focused on the multigrain flours obtained by milling blends with various amounts of wheat, rye and hulled oat, and on the sourdoughs prepared out of these flours using different commercial starter culture. The folate and total phenol levels and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity (DPPH-RSA) of multigrain flours increased with the addition level of rye andhulled oat. Among the fractions obtained through milling, higher levels of folates were registered in brans, followed by shorts and then by flours. The folate contents in brans and shorts were about of 1-1.4 times higher than in the flours. The sourdough fermentation realized with different commercial starter cultures induced the increase of the total phenols content and DPPH-RSA. The highest levels of folates were obtained when fermenting the flour suspensions with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, followed by samples with Lactococcus lactis subsp. Lactis and Leuconostoc. The sourdough fermented with Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus plantarum had lower folate contents compared to the corresponding controls obtained through spontaneous fermentation. The obtained results suggest that both the type of cereals used to obtain the flours and the starter culture used toprepare the sourdoughs are suitable tools which worth be used for modulating the nutritional profile of the baking products.

The recalcitrance of oxalate, nitrate and nitrites during the controlled lactic fermentation of commonly consumed green leafy vegetables

Purpose – Green leafy vegetables (GLVs) are important components of a balanced diet especially in developing countries where the major requirements of micronutrients are met. However, GLVs also contain significant amounts of oxalate, nitrate and nitrites, whose role in the human diet is constantly changing. The current study explored the behavior of nitrate, nitrites and oxalate in lactic-fermented GLVs with an intention to develop functional foods based on them. Design/methodology/approach – Selected strains of beneficial lactic acid bacteria were used for the controlled fermentation of GLV, while an identical portion was subjected to spontaneous fermentation. The nitrate and nitrites were monitored spectrophotometrically, while oxalate contents were quantified by both titrimetric and by high-performance liquid chromatography throughout the duration of fermentation. Findings – More than 90 per cent of individual constituents studied remained intact in the GLVs paste after the six-day controlled fermentation period. However, there was significant difference between the controlled and spontaneously fermented samples in terms of oxalate, nitrate and nitrite contents. Originality/value – Controlled lactic fermentation although superior in all other aspects may not be able to lower the anti-nutrients present. The advantages of spontaneous fermentation vis-à-vis controlled fermentation are discussed. The work will bring out the importance of the beneficial effects of GLVs and the effect of lactic fermentation.

Effects of Lactic Acid Fermentation on the Retention of Β-Carotene Content in Orange Fleshed Sweet Potatoes

This study aimed to establish the effects of lactic fermentation on the levels of β-carotene in selected orange fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) varieties from Kenya. Furthermore,it sought to demonstrate fermentation as a potential process for making new products from sweet potato with enhanced nutraceutical attributes. The varieties (Zapallo, Nyathiodiewo and SPK004/06) were fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum MTCC 1407 at 25 ± 2°C for 48 h and kept for 28 days to make lacto-pickles. During fermentation both analytical [pH, titratable acidity (TA), lactic acid (LA), starch, total sugar, reducing sugar (g/kg roots), texture (N/m2), β-carotene (mg/kg roots)] and sensory (texture, taste, flavour and after taste) attributes of sweet potato lacto-juice were evaluated. Process conditions were optimized by varying brine levels, with fermentation time. A UV-visible spectrophotometer was used to identify and quantify β-carotene. Any significant variations (p &lt; 0.05) in analytical attributes between the fermented and unfermented samples (pH, LA, TA and β-carotene concentration) of lacto-pickles, prepared from the potato roots, were assessed. The study reported a final composition of 156.49mg/kg, 0.53mg/kg, 0.3N/m2, 1.3g/kg, 5.86g/kg, 0.5g/kg and 5.86g/kg for β-carotene, Ascorbic acid, texture; Starch, total sugars, LA and TA respectively, and a pH of 3.27. The fermented products were subjected to flavour profiling by a panel. The product sensory scores were 1.5 to 2.5 on a 5 point hedonic scale, ranging from dislike slightly to like much. The products with brine levels at 4 and 6% were most preferred. The retention of β-carotene was 93.97%. This demonstrated lactic acid fermentation as a better method for processing OFSP as the main nutritional attributes are retained. The final product was resistant to spoilage microorganisms after 28 days of fermentation. Further preservation could be obtained by addition of sodium metabisulphite. In conclusion, Lactic acid fermentation using L. plantarum is a novel method of producing Lacto pickles from Zapallo OFSP, with 93.97% β-carotene retention and adequate shelf life.

Effect of lactic fermentation on the total phenolic, saponin and phytic acid contents as well as anti-colon cancer cell proliferation activity of soymilk

In an attempt to develop healthy dietary adjuncts, soymilk was fermented simultaneously with Streptococcus thermophilus 14085 and Bifidobacterium infantis 14603 at 37°C for 24h. It was found that lactic fermentation reduced the content of saponins and phytates, which possess antinutritional activity, and enhanced the total phenolic content as well as antitumor cell proliferation effect of soymilk against HT-29 and Caco-2 cells. The original antitumor cell component, starter organisms, and antitumor cell bioactive principles formed in soymilk during fermentation, might all have contributed to the enhanced antitumor activity of fermented soymilk. The antiproliferative effect of the extracts varied with extraction solvent. Extracts obtained from fermented soymilk with 80% methanol exhibited the highest suppression effect on the proliferation of HT-29 and Caco-2 cells. This study further stresses the potential of developing soymilk as a healthy dietary adjunct possessing enhanced anticancer activity through the use of lactic fermentation.

Effect of Lactic Fermentation on Antioxidant Capacity of Rye Sourdough and Bread

Effect of sourdough fermentation, by different starter culture (lactic acid bacteria Lactococcus lactis ssp. Lactis, Weissella confusa, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus helveticus, and yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus subsp. Marxianus), on antioxidant capacity of rye dough and bread was determined and compared with spontaneous fermentation. The total phenolic content and antioxidant activities assessed using Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity expressed in terms of Trolox equivalents and of percentage of discoloration, were measured. The results indicate that antioxidant activity of the rye sourdough highly depends on the type of inoculum used for fermentation and the levels of bioactive compounds change during the bread making process. Fermentation process and type of starter culture are tools to increase the bioactive compounds with antioxidant activities of the rye bread.

Effect of lactic fermentation and extrusion of bean and pea seeds on nutritional and functional properties

Controlled lactic acid fermentation of „Bomba” bean and „Opal” pea was used to improved their nutritional and functional properties. The modified legumes were used as a source for extrusion process to obtain snack-type foods. Milled legume seeds were fermented by different population of Lactobacillus plantarum with different moisture content plant material to estimate the influence of this two parameters on the dynamics of lactic fermentation. Quantitative and qualitative changes carbohydrates and nitrogen compounds of modified seeds were analyzed (e.g . mono- and oligosaccharides, in vitro starch and protein digestibility). In the new snack-type products, functional properties: water solubility index (WSI), water absorption index (WAI), expansion index, bulk density and texture explained as a shearing stress were recorded. Results showed a distinct decrease raffinose, verbascose and stachyose contents even up to 80 - 90% after fermentation and extrusion process. Lactic fermentation and extrusion of bean and pea seeds contributes to a significant (a ≤ 0,05) increase of in vitro protein and starch digestibility. Observations of changes functional properties of extruderates (e. g., expansion, shearing stress, WSI, WAI) allowed to choose the most efficient model of fermentation pretreatment to obtain the best improvement of nutritional and functional features of the product.

Effect of lactic fermentation on the rheological properties of κ‐carrageenan/locust bean gum mixed gels inoculated with S. thermophilus

In the literature, very little attention have been paid to the rheological aspects of the gel carrier. The objectives of this communication is to study the evolution of the rheological properties of the gel during fermentation and to determine an optimum gel composition that will maintain the integrity of the beads in the process. However, the study of gel beads only allow subjective observations or leads to rheological problems: consequently, we studied the evolution on the dynamic rheological properties of various κ-carrageenan/locust bean gum mixed gel disks containing S. thermophilus during the fermentation of a supplemented whey permeate medium
