Pengaruh Suhu dan Tekanan terhadap Hasil Penggorengan Keripik Belimbing (Averrhoa carambola L.) Menggunakan Vacuum Frying

Fruit chips are healthy snacks because of their high fiber content. One of the fruit commodities being developed is the starfruit (Averrhoa carambola L.) commodity. Starfruit is a fruit that is widely processed into other processed foods, because the fruit is easily damaged and has a relatively short shelf life of 3 to 4 days. Fruit chips are more resistant to storage than fresh fruit because their water content is low and physiological processes no longer occur. The equipment used to make fruit chips is a vacuum fryer which has the advantage of frying fruit into chips. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of frying temperature and pressure on product quality in the manufacture of starfruit chips using vacuum frying and to determine the optimal temperature and pressure for frying starfruit chips using vacuum frying. The research method used was an experimental design in the form of a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Experimental factors in this study used two factors, temperature (T), namely temperature 75°C, 80°C, 85°C and pressure (P) during the frying process namely -68 cmHg, -70 cmHg and -72 cmHg, with as many repetitions as 3 times to produce 27 experimental units. The parameters observed in this study were the analysis of material shrinkage (yield), water content, organoleptic tests, and analysis of storage of starfruit chips. It can be concluded that the optimal choice of temperature and pressure in the operation of a vacuum frying equipment for making starfruit chips is 80°C with a low frying pressure of -72 cmHg. The quality of starfruit chips with a temperature of 80°C and a frying pressure of -72 cmHg was included in the best product category in this study based on overall acceptance which had a material yield value of 13.09%, a moisture content of 4.64%, and a color organoleptic test score of 4. 13 (yellow), aroma 3.67 (starfruit aroma is rather strong), taste 4.40 (slightly sweet), crispness 4.00 (crunchy).

2-Dodecyl-6-Methoxycyclohexa-2, 5-Diene-1, 4-Dione isolated from Averrhoa carambola L. root inhibits high glucose-induced EMT in HK-2 cells through targeting the regulation of miR-21–5p/Smad7 signaling pathway

Objective2-Dodecyl-6-Methoxycyclohexa-2, 5-Diene-1, 4-Dione (DMDD) isolated from Averrhoa carambola L. root, has been proven therapeutic effects on diabetic kidney disease (DKD). This research aims to assess DMDD’s effects on DKD and to investigate its underlying mechanisms, to establish DMDD as a novel pharmaceutical agent for DKD treatment. MethodsThe human renal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells were induced by high glucose (HG) to mimic DKD and followed by DMDD treatment. The cytotoxicity of DMDD was assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The migratory capacity of HK-2 cells was evaluated through transwell and scratch-wound assays. To investigate the effect of Smad7 and miR-21–5p, lentiviral transfection was employed in HK-2 cells. Additionally, the expression of proteins related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and TGFβ1/Smad2/3 pathway was checked by QRT-PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence techniques. ResultsThis study has shown that DMDD significantly suppresses cell migration and the expression of Vimentin, α-SMA, TGFβ1, and p-Smad2/3 in HK-2 cells under HG conditions. Concurrently, DMDD enhances the protein expression of E-cadherin and Smad7. Intriguingly, the therapeutic effect of DMDD was abrogated upon Smad7 silencing. Further investigations revealed that DMDD effectively inhibits miR-21–5p expression, which is upregulated by HG. Downregulation of miR-21–5p inhibits the activation of the TGFβ1/Smad2/3 pathway and EMT induced by HG. In contrast, overexpression of miR-21–5p negates DMDD’s therapeutic benefits. ConclusionDMDD mitigates EMT in HG-induced HK-2 cells by modulating the miR-21–5p/Smad7 pathway, thereby inhibiting renal fibrosis in DKD. These findings suggest that DMDD holds promise as a potential therapeutic agent for DKD.

Herbal medicines have powerful antibacterial compounds that can be used to limit the growth of germs that cause infections. The aim of the research was to determine whether starfruit extract (Averrhoa blimbi L.) has antibacterial properties against Streptococcus mutans. This type of research uses a posttest only control group design in the laboratory. Streptococcus mutans in pure culture were used as the research sample. This study had two control groups, one with four repetitions of DMSO as a negative control and one with a positive control (0.2% chlorhexidine), and four treatment groups with starfruit extract concentrations (20%, 40%, 60%, and 80 %). The disc diffusion method was used to test the antibacterial effect. One-way ANOVA and post hoc LSD statistical tests were then used to test the results. The results showed that, for Streptococus mutans bacteria, the mean and standard deviation of the diameter of the inhibition zone of starfruit extract at concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% were 12.03 ± 0.33 mm, 16.70 ± 0, 48 mm, 19.98 ± 0.13 mm, 22.25 ± 0.26 mm, and 19.25 ± 0.91 mm in the positive control, but no zone of inhibition was observed in the negative control. The width of the inhibition zone in starfruit extract (Averrahoa blimbi L.) at doses of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, positive control, and negative control was significantly different, according to the results of the one-way ANOVA test (p=0.000; p≤ 0.05). Antibacterial efficacy against Streptococcus mutans varied significantly (p≤0.05) among all star fruit extract groups and positive and negative controls, based on LSD post hoc test findings. Based on the research results, it can be said that star fruit extract at the most effective concentration, namely 80%, has antibacterial properties against Streptococcus mutans.

COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE A CONCENTRAÇÃO DE COMPOSTOS FENÓLICOS E FLAVONOIDES COM O PREÇO DE FRUTAS NATIVAS E EXÓTICAS DO NORDESTE BRASILEIRO

Brazilian flora has great diversity, and the fruit market represents an activity of great economic importance for the country. Ingestion of phenolic compounds, derived from fruits, is associated with various types of benefits, and pathological prevention. In this sense, the present study made the price survey and the literature review on the phenolic and flavonoids content in six native fruits (cashew, seriguela, umbu, juá, cajá and pitomba) and in eight exotic fruits (acerola, star fruit, coconut, breadfruit, soursop, custard apple, sapodilla, tamarind) to the Brazilian Northeast. The survey was based on the evaluation of prices published on digital platforms of Northeastern Food Centers and the concentrations of total phenols and flavonoids were obtained through literature review. No statistical difference was observed between the mean concentration values of total phenolic compounds and flavonoids in native and exotic fruits, but a difference close to R$ 2.00 was observed between the average price of native and exotic fruits, being natives the cheapest ones. Thus, native fruits are a source of lower cost and have the same nutritional value of flavonoids and total phenols of exotic fruits. However, there is a market and buyer preference for exotic fruits for production and taste reasons.

UNVEILING THE NUTRITIONAL POTENTIAL OF STAR FRUIT (Averrhoa carambola): IN VITRO BIOACCESSIBILITY STUDY

A method was developed for quantifying the concentrations of Ca, Fe, Mg, and Zn in star fruit. An in vitro assay was used to evaluate the bioaccessibility of these elements after a simulated gastrointestinal digestion. The results showed that the total elemental concentration in star fruit were 78-186.2 mg kg-1 for Ca, 92.1-148.1 mg kg-1 for Mg, below the limit of detection for Fe and Zn. The bioaccessibility of Ca and Mg was 40 and 58%, respectively. These bioaccessibility percentages were attributed to the presence of an antinutrient in star fruit that promotes precipitation of insoluble compounds during the in vitro assay. Based on the data from gastrointestinal digestion assay, it is possible to conclude that star fruit intake can supply 1.6-2.04% and 11.2-19.6% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of Ca and Mg, respectively.

Biologia comparativa da mosca do mediterrâneo em frutos de carambola e manga

ABSTRACT Ceratitis capitata is a polyphagous species adapted to the most diverse hosts. The life cycle of C. capitata is influenced by the host species in which it develops, and information about its biological data in star fruit is scarce. This study aimed to characterize the biological cycle of C. capitata in star fruit and mango. Portions of 20 g were offered in Petri dishes lined with moistened filter paper to 20 first-instar larvae up to three hours of age. Evaluations were performed daily, quantifying the period and larval survival, pupal viability and mass (puparia weighed at 24 hours of age), longevity, egg-adult period, and fecundity. Larval survival ranged from 89.75% in star fruit to 94.25% in mango. Pupal viability and mass were higher in larvae fed mango. The length of the larval period was not affected by the food substrate. Total and daily fecundities were higher in females from larvae fed mango. Both fruits allowed the complete development of C. capitata, but mango is the most suitable host for its development.

Aumento da estabilidade de carambolas com uso de coberturas de amido e óleo de babaçu com plastificantes

Abstract The objective of this work was to determine the effect of edible coatings made with babassu (Orbignya phalerata) starch and oil, combined with different plasticizers, on the shelf life of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola). The experimental design was completely randomized, in a 5×6 factorial arrangement, with five treatments and six storage periods, with ten replicates per treatment in each storage period. The fruits were stored for 20 days at 10°C and a relative humidity of 65-70%. Five treatments were evaluated: four coated ones (with starch+glycerol, starch+mannitol, starch+oil+glycerol, and starch+oil+mannitol) and one uncoated (control). The studied variables were: mass loss, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, ascorbic acid, and color. Mass loss, pH, soluble solids, redness, and yellowness increased linearly during storage, whereas titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, and luminosity decreased linearly. The starch+mannitol treatment stood out, presenting the highest luminosity and the best interaction with babassu oil, which reduced fruit yellowness. However, this interaction caused a lower adherence of the plasticizer to the peel of the fruit, not slowing its ripening down. The use of the starch+mannitol coating reduced mass loss and polysaccharide conversion into soluble sugars. Therefore, this treatment is a promising eco-friendly technique for an improved postharvest storage of star fruit.
