Physicochemical and antioxidant properties of Citrus macroptera peel pectin extracted by different methods and its impact on nutritional quality of strawberry jam during long-term storage

Discover Food, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 5(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2025

This research explores the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of pectin derived from Citrus macroptera peel (CMP) by conventional heating extraction (CHE), microwave-assisted (MAE) at various power levels (600 W-6 min, 450 W-12 180 W-23 min), ultrasonic-assisted (UAE). MAE UAE resulted in highest yields, with CHE producing lowest. achieved equivalent weight, while showed a significant reduction. Methoxyl content increased levels, lowest CHE. Anhydrouronic acid exceeded 65% across all methods, indicating high purity. Low methoxyl (LMP, DE < 50%) was found methods except for W, which produced (HMP, > 50%). Functional properties, including water holding capacity (WHC), oil (OHC), swelling (SC), varied MAE-600 W showing superior performance. MAE-450 enhance activity, yielding higher TPC, TFC, DPPH activity than The choice method had impact on quality pectin, influencing its ability to preserve nutritional value strawberry jam over 90-day storage period. Notably, extracted using most effective maintaining both jam, particularly promising results.

Enhancing Functional Food Applications With Carambola Peel and Pulp Dietary Fiber: Effects of Sustainable Drying Methods (Oven and Freeze) on Nutritional Value and Hydration Properties

Journal of Food Quality, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 2025(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

This study explores the extraction and characterization of dietary fiber (DF) from carambola fruits, focusing on both peel pulp fractions. After pretreatment with 96% ethanol to mitigate enzymatic activity, DF was extracted using hot‐air oven‐drying freeze‐drying methods. Physicochemical properties, functional attributes, nutritional composition fractions were analyzed. Notably, derived exhibited superior functional, antioxidant, hydration, physicochemical properties compared pulp. The fraction freeze‐dried (FE) showed exceptional boasting highest levels DPPH assay (68.73%), total flavonoid content (14.98 mg QE/100 g DM), phenolic (156.6 GAE/100 ferric‐reducing antioxidant power (458.3 AAC/g vitamin C (52.12 ascorbic acid/100 A (140.2 μg β‐carotene/100 DM). Additionally, it demonstrated a remarkable oil holding capacity (2.591 oil/g Furthermore, employing freeze drying as method proved advantageous, yielding physicochemical, nutritional, hydration oven drying. also environmental benefits by minimizing energy consumption CO 2 emissions, aligning green practices.
