Valorisation of olive oil pomace extracts for a functional pear beverage formulation

Olive pomaces from Southern Italy autochthonous cultivars (Carolea, Nocellara and Roggianella) were eco-friendly extracted to reach value-added ingredients for the production of fortified pear beverages. Chemical composition of the extracts was carried out by ¹H-NMR analysis, while antioxidant features were in vitro evaluated. The extracts displayed remarkable scavenger properties against DPPH (IC₅₀ values in the range 0.051–0.171 mg mL⁻¹) and ABTS (IC₅₀ values in the range 0.035–0.047 mg mL⁻¹) radical species. Reactive species in the extracts and inulin chains were involved in an eco-friendly radical process by grafting reaction to obtain macromolecular conjugates with outstanding antioxidant features, in terms of both antioxidant and scavenging performances, representing an attractive source in the design of functional foods. In this context, the conjugates were employed to enrich pear juice, to achieve reinforced beverages displaying remarkable antioxidant properties in comparison with its non-functional counterparts, as well as its maintenance over time (20 days).     

Evaluation of the sensory and physical properties of meat and fish derivatives containing grape pomace powders

The wine industry produces tons of pomace that, in a circular economy model, should be valorised. The phenols fraction of grape pomace represents a source of food colorants, but also of natural food preservatives. Furthermore, the pomace contains dietary fibre, unsaturated lipids, antioxidants and minerals that have been recognised as wholesome and technologically useful. The main drawback of using grape pomace is represented by its chemical and microbiological instability. Different authors proposed strategies to overcome these limitations, and different approaches for the use of grape pomace as an ingredient have been described. Here, we sum up the chemical and microbiological solutions for the stabilisation of grape pomace, describing the approaches used to transform this waste in a functional ingredient, and comparing the physiochemical characteristics of the resulting products. We further describe the studies concerning sensory aspects of the products by enriching animal fleshes with different pomace powder preparations.

葡萄渣多酚的分布、生物活性及其在食品中的 应用研究进展

许多水果在加工过程中会产生大量的副产物,如葡萄酒酿造过程中产生的葡萄果渣(grape pomace,GP),由于其中含有丰富的生物活性物质,如多酚、膳食纤维、有机酸和不饱和脂肪酸等,已成为医药、化妆品和食品工业提取植物活性物质的廉价来源。尤其是酚类化合物受到越来越多的关注,葡萄渣中的酚类化合物是一类次生代谢产物,主要包括类黄酮、花青素和白藜芦醇等,很多研究已经证实这些酚类化合物具有抗氧化、抗菌、抗病毒、抗炎和抗癌等生物活性,因此,如何从葡萄渣中提取多酚化合物并将其开发成功能性食品配料,成为越来越多的企业和学者的关注。在此本文对GP多酚的组成分布、生物活性、在食品中的稳定性及其应用等进行了较全面的总结,旨在为葡萄渣多酚功能性食品的开发提供参考。     

High‐pressure recovery of anthocyanins from grape skin pomace (Vitis vinifera cv. Teran) at moderate temperature

The objective was to evaluate the influences of the high hydrostatic pressure extraction parameters on the recovery of anthocyanins from the grape skin pomace extracts (Vitis vinifera cv. Teran) under moderate temperatures. Studied parameters were: solvents (methanol and ethanol); solvent concentrations (30, 50, and 70%); pressures (300, 400, and 500 MPa); times (3, 6.5, 10 min); and temperatures (22, 26, 30 °C). Predominant anthocyanins in all extracts were malvidins (malvidin‐3‐glucoside as the main compound) representing 55.77% of overall anthocyanin content. The type of solvent did not significantly influence anthocyanin extraction yield, while decreased solvent concentration (increased solvent‐to‐water ratio) significantly improved extraction of anthocyanins. Increase of pressure enhanced extraction yield of the anthocyanins but temperature showed stronger impact on the anthocyanins recovery. This investigation evidenced that the best conditions for HHPE of anthocyanins from grape pomace were extraction time 3.39 min, extraction temperature 29.48 °C, pressure 268.44 MPa and solvent concentration 70%.

Practical applications

Due to increased interest for the use of cheap winery byproducts as a source of expensive polyphenols for functional food production, skins from grape pomace became valuable raw material. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate the influence of HHPE innovative extraction technology on its nutritive value during processing. Optimizing parameters for polyphenolic recovery from grape pomace is directly related with nutritional value and economics of food engineering during industrial processing. Obtained results showed that the HHPE under lower temperatures is suitable for the extraction process of anthocyanins from grape skin pomace, but more research is needed to identify other food‐grade solvents with their corresponding concentrations that are useful for the extraction assisted with high hydrostatic pressure.

Investigation of using possibility of grape pomace in wafer sheet for wheat flour substitution

In this study, grape pomace (GP), a by-product consisting of grape skins and seeds rich in dietary fibres and polyphenols, was used in wafer sheets at different concentrations [5.00 (GP5), 10.0 (GP10), and 15.0 g 100 g⁻¹ (GP15)] for the partial replacement of wheat flour (WF) and improve the functionality of wafer sheets. The GP inclusion at concentrations higher than 5.00 g 100 g⁻¹ significantly affected the texture of sheets as well as the flow behaviour of batters, resulting in softer sheets and more viscous batters (P < 0.05). Moisture contents did not significantly change after GP addition (P > 0.05). After the addition of GP, the L* values decreased and the a* values increased, making the wafers darker (P < 0.05). Moreover, under simulated in vitro digestion conditions, the bioaccessibility of total phenolic compounds in saliva, gastric juice, and intestinal juice was significantly higher than control even at the lowest GP concentration (P < 0.05). Regarding sensory properties, only smoothness and crispness were significantly affected by GP addition, and samples were found to be crisper with higher concentrations of GP. In conclusion, it is possible to partially replace the WF in wafers with GP at a concentration of 5.00 g 100 g⁻¹ to develop a product with higher functionality and nutrient content.     

Antibacterial activities and total phenolic contents of grape pomace extracts

The aim of this study was to determine the total phenolic contents and antibacterial effects of grape pomace extracts (cultivars Emir and Kalecik karasi) against 14 bacteria, and the effects of the extracts on the growth and survival of two of the bacteria during storage. The total phenolic contents of grape pomace of Emir and Kalecik karasi cultivars extracted with acetone/water/acetic acid (90:9.5:0.5) were 68.77 and 96.25 mg GAE g^?1, respectively. The agar well diffusion method was used to test the antibacterial activity of the extracts at 1, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20% (w/v) concentrations in methanol on spoilage and pathogenic bacteria including Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus cereus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli O157:H7. Mycobacterium smegmatis, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia enterocolitica. All the bacteria tested were inhibited by extract concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10 and 20%, except for Y enterocolitica which was not inhibited by the 2.5% concentration. However, pomace extracts at 1% concentration had no antibacterial activity against some of the bacteria. According to the agar well diffusion method, E coli O157:H7 was the most sensitive of the bacteria. Generally, using the serial dilution method, while the extracts at 0.5% concentration had bacteriostatic activities on E coli O157:H7 and S aureus, the extracts appeared to have bactericidal effects at 1 and 2.5% concentrations. In accordance with this method, S aureus was more sensitive than E coli O157:H7 to the extracts. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry     

Functional components of grape pomace: their composition,biological properties and potential applications

The roles of functional foods on human health have been realised by more and more researchers, food producers and consumers. Functional food ingredients from both plant and animal sources such as dietary fibre, soy protein isolate, whey protein isolate and omega 3 fatty acid have been widely used in functional food product development. Many fruit processing by‐products such as grape, apple and orange peels are rich in bioactive phytochemicals, dietary fibre and unsaturated fatty acids, hence have potential to serve as functional food ingredients. In this review, we summarise recent advancement of research in grape pomace (GP), the residual of grapes after wine making. The polyphenol profile of GP and their biological, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, the stability of GP polyphenols in food system, the interaction between GP polyphenol and other food ingredients, as well as the functionalities of grape seed oil and GP fibre are covered.

Confidence intervals for modeling anthocyanin retention in grape pomace during nonisothermal heating

ABSTRACT:  Degradation of nutraceuticals in low- and intermediate-moisture foods heated at high temperature (>100 °C) is difficult to model because of the nonisothermal condition. Isothermal experiments above 100 °C are difficult to design because they require high pressure and small sample size in sealed containers. Therefore, a nonisothermal method was developed to estimate the thermal degradation kinetic parameter of nutraceuticals and determine the confidence intervals for the parameters and the predicted Y (concentration). Grape pomace at 42% moisture content (wb) was heated in sealed 202 × 214 steel cans in a steam retort at 126.7 °C for > 30 min. Can center temperature was measured by thermocouple and predicted using Comsol software. Thermal conductivity (k) and specific heat ( C_p ) were estimated as quadratic functions of temperature using Comsol and nonlinear regression. The k and C_p functions were then used to predict temperature inside the grape pomace during retorting. Similar heating experiments were run at different time–temperature treatments from 8 to 25 min for kinetic parameter estimation. Anthocyanin concentration in the grape pomace was measured using HPLC. Degradation rate constant ( k _{110 °C}) and activation energy ( E_a ) were estimated using nonlinear regression. The thermophysical properties estimates at 100 °C were k = 0.501 W/m °C, Cp = 3600 J/kg and the kinetic parameters were k _{110 °C}= 0.0607/min and E_a = 65.32 kJ/mol. The 95% confidence intervals for the parameters and the confidence bands and prediction bands for anthocyanin retention were plotted. These methods are useful for thermal processing design for nutraceutical products.     

Effect of grape pomace extracts obtained from different grape varieties on microbial quality of beef patty

Grape pomace extracts were obtained from 5 different grape varieties grown in Turkey. The extracts were concentrated to obtain crude extracts; and incorporated into beef patties at 0% (Control), 1%, 2%, 5%, and 10% concentrations to test their antimicrobial effects in different storage periods (first, 12, 24, and 48 h). The numbers of microorganism were generally decreased by the extract concentration during the storage period. All the microorganisms tested were inhibited by the extract concentration of 10% in all the storage periods. Furthermore, the foodborne pathogens including Enterobacteriaceae and coliform bacteria, and the spoilage microorganisms including yeasts and moulds and lipolytic bacteria were also inhibited by 5% of Emir, Gamay, and Kalecik Karasi varieties in beef patties. Considering the results, the extracts of grape pomaces might be a good choice in the microbial shelf life extension of the food products as well as inhibiting the food pathogens as the case of beef patties. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Grape pomace consists of seeds, skins, and stems, and an important by-product that is well known to be the rich source of phenolic compounds, both flavonoids and non-flavonoids. These substances have considerable beneficial effects on human health. The use of natural antimicrobial compounds, like plant extracts of herbs and spices for the preservation of foods has been very popular issue because of their antimicrobial activity. Therefore, grape pomace should be added into some food formulations to benefit from their protective effects. In this respect, this study reports the effect of addition of grape pomace extracts obtained from different grape varieties on microbial quality of beef patty. The results obtained in this study may be useful for food industry, which has recently tended to use natural antimicrobial sources in place of synthetic preservatives to prevent microbial spoilage.     

Production of white wine by Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilized on grape pomace

White wine was produced with Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells immobilized on grape pomace, by natural adsorption. The support, the main solid waste from the wine industry, consisted of the skins, seeds and stems. Immobilization was tested using different media, namely complex culture medium, raw grape must and diluted grape must. Grape pomace was revealed to be an appropriate support for yeast cell immobilization. Moreover, grape must was shown to be the most suitable medium as immobilized cells became adapted to the conditions in the subsequent alcoholic fermentation in the wine‐making process. The wines produced, either with immobilized cells or with free cells, were subjected to chemical analysis by HPLC (ethanol, glycerol, sugars and organic acids) and by gas chromatography (major and minor volatile compounds); additionally, colour (CIELab) and sensory analysis were performed. The use of immobilized systems to conduct alcoholic fermentation in white wine production proved to be a more rapid and a more efficient process, especially when large amounts of SO₂ were present in the must. Furthermore, the final wines obtained with immobilized cells demonstrated improved sensory properties related to the larger amounts of ethanol and volatile compounds produced. The more intense colour of these wines could be a drawback, which could be hindered by the reutilization of the biocatalyst in successive fermentations.

Valorisation of theanine from decaffeinated tea dust in bakery functional food

Nowadays, consumers appreciate the positive properties of decaffeinated tea for their well‐being. During decaffeination process, a very fine tea dust powder is obtained as by‐product, which contains the same quantity of bioactives as decaffeinated tea: the antioxidant polyphenols and the amino acid theanine. The aim was to add value to theanine gained from black tea powder dust and to develop theanine‐enriched bread. A theanine containing powder was obtained by column separation of decaffeinated tea dust extract and spray‐drying using carrier supports. This powder contains also the very polar compounds from decaffeinated tea such as amino acids, sugars and minerals. Breads with 110, 220 and 330 ppm of theanine, respectively, were prepared with the theanine powder. Physical properties, theanine and total polyphenolic content in bread were analysed. Bread and other bakery food serve as good products to add value to bioactive tea dust ingredients.
