RESUMEN
Enhancing the valorization of fruit processing by-products is pivotal for advancing the industry. Black mulberry wine residues, a by-product, contains some bioactive compounds, yet its antioxidant and anticancer potentials remain unverified. In this study, ultrasound-assisted enzymatic extraction was optimized by response surface methodology to obtain the flavonoids extracts from black mulberry wine residues, whose antioxidant capacity and anti-cancer activity in vitro was investigated. The results showed that under the optimal extraction conditions (enzyme ratio at pectinase:cellulose = 2:1, mixed enzyme concentration 0.31 mg/mL, enzymatic hydrolysis temperature 55.35 °C, enzymatic hydrolysis time 79.03 min, and ultrasonic time 22.71 min), the extracts from black mulberry wine residues (BMWR-E) reached 5.672 mg/g. At a concentration of 1.2 mg/mL, BMWR-E exhibited strong DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities. At a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL, BMWR-E showed a strong superoxide anion radical scavenging capacity, with no significant distinction compared to the positive control group (Vitamin C) (p > 0.05). Cell viability assay results showed that BMWR-E was non-toxic to normal BRL-3A cells when applied at concentrations of 0.1-0.3 mg/mL for an incubation period of 24 h, but BMWR-E exhibited the ability to inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells. At concentrations of 0.2 mg/mL and above, BMWR-E could induce late apoptosis of HepG2 cells by increasing the protein expression levels of Bax, caspase-3, and caspase-12, reducing the protein expression levels of Bcl-2, inducing cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of HepG2 cells. The bioactive properties make BMWR-E possess potential in developing new antioxidants and anti-cancer agents, which would significantly enhance the economic worth of agricultural by-products in product processing. This research can improve the utilization rate of agricultural product processing by-products and protect the environment.
RESUMEN
Healthy, nutritious, and delicious mulberry wine is loved by everyone, but there is no specific yeast for mulberry wine. To screen for yeasts with low-yield higher alcohols for the fermentation of mulberry wine, we tested five commonly used commercial yeasts available on the market to ferment mulberry wine. All five yeasts were able to meet the requirements in terms of yeast fermentation capacity, speed, and physical and chemical markers of mulberry wine. The national standards were met by the fermentation requirements and the fermented mulberry wine. We identified yeast DV10 as a yeast with low-yield higher alcohols suitable for mulberry wine fermentation. The total higher alcohol content in fermented mulberry wine was 298 mg/L, which was 41.9% lower than that of fermented mulberry wine with yeast EC118. The contents of 17 free amino acids and five sugars in mulberry juice and five yeast-fermented mulberry wines were tested. The results showed that the higher the amino acid and sugar content in yeast-fermented mulberry wine, the higher the content of higher alcohols produced by fermentation. A correlation analysis performed on each higher alcohol produced when yeast DV10 fermented the mulberry wine indicated decreased sugar and related amino acids. The findings demonstrated a substantial negative correlation among the levels of increased alcohol, decreased sugar, and matching amino acid content. Considering the correlation values among increased alcohol, decreased sugar, and related amino acids, the very slight difference suggests that both sugar anabolism and amino acid catabolism pathways have an equivalent impact on the synthesis of higher alcohols during the fermentation of mulberry wine. These results provide a theoretical basis for reducing the content of higher alcohols in mulberry wines, given the history and foundation for producing mulberry wine.
RESUMEN
In this study, changes in volatile compounds co-fermented by different Pichia kluyveri with Saccharomyces cerevisiae were analyzed using GC-IMS and compared with S. cerevisiae fermentation, to investigate the production of aroma in mulberry wine during the fermentation process. A total of 61 compounds were accurately identified, including 21 esters, 10 alcohols, 8 aldehydes, 6 ketones, and 19 other volatiles. Compared with the single strain fermentation (S. cerevisiae), the content of 2-methylpropyl acetate, allyl Isothiocyanate, ethyl crotonate, isobutyl propanoate, and butyl 2-methylbutanoate, co-fermentation groups (S. cerevisiae with different P. kluyveri) showed a significant decrease. Alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and organic acid were lower in both the F(S-P1) and F(S-P2) groups than in the F(S) group throughout fermentation. The 2-methylpentanoic acid only was contained in the F(S) group. The co-fermentation with different P. kluyveri could also be well distinguished. The content of Benzaldehyde and 4-methylphenol in the F(S-P1) group was significantly lower than that in the F(S-P2) group. The PCA results revealed effective differentiation of mulberry wine fermented by different fermentation strains from GC-IMS. The result showed that P. kluyveri could establish a new flavor system for mulberry wine, which plays a crucial role in enhancing the flavor of fruit wine.
RESUMEN
To improve the delightful flavor of mulberry wine through semi-artificial inoculation fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we studied the dynamics change of microbiota, along with the physicochemical properties and metabolite profiles and their interaction relationship during the fermentation process. The abundance of lactic acid bacteria (Weissella, Lactobacillus, Fructobacillus, and Pediococcus) increased significantly during fermentation, while yeasts gradually established dominance. The inter-kingdom network of the dominant genera analysis further identified the following as core microbiota: Alternaria, Botrytis, Kazachstania, Acremonium, Mycosphaerella, Pediococcus, Gardnerella, and Schizothecium. Additionally, pH, alcohol, and total acid were significantly affected by microbiota variation. Fourteen of all identified volatile compounds with key different aromas were screened using PCA, OPLS-DA, and rOAV. The network of interconnected core microbiota with key different aromas revealed that Kazachstania and Pediococcus had stronger correlations with 1-butanol, 3-methyl-, propanoic acid, and 2-methyl-ethyl ester.
RESUMEN
The present study aims to evaluate the quality of chemical, sensory properties and antioxidant potential of mulberry wine using selenium-enriched yeasts employing eight different methods (MW1-MW8). The selenium-enriched yeast significantly (p < 0.05) increased phytochemical profiles, flavor, quality and antioxidant capacity. The most effective method for raising the selenium level of mulberry wine was using L-seMC (MW5). Mulberry wine color was attributed to the anthocyanins and phytochemical composition with selenium content. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity varied with change in treatment methods suggesting their impact on antioxidant activity. Total selenium content on L-SeMC supplementation proved a significant correlation between selenium content with total anthocyanin content, total polyphenol content and flavonoid content. Sensory analysis by electronic nose exhibited MW2 with high response value in the W2S sensor showing high alcohol concentration. GC-MS analysis showed the presence of 57 volatile aromatic compounds comprehended by esters and alcohol (isoamyl alcohol, 2-methylbutanol, 2,3-butanediol, and phenethyl alcohol). Principal component analysis affirms the response values for four categorical score values with reliability and consistency for all the parameters, significantly. Thus, the workflow demonstrates a simpler, cost-effective traditional methodology for rationalized outcomes.
