Effect of container shape on freeze concentration of apple juice.

Project description:Concentrating fruit juices by freezing supports the maintenance of both nutrients and flavors. Development of the freezing concentration process has introduced equipment such as centrifuge or block freezing systems, which are suitable for large-scale commercial processing. However, the necessary characteristics of freeze concentration methods for juices include simplicity and low cost. This study examined the effects of different container shapes on the processes of freezing and melting. The shape of the container was found to be more important than the melting temperature, across a relatively large scale. Furthermore, the nutrient procyanidin B2 and saccharides were concentrated. The methods concentrated juice components under low cost conditions without complex equipment. This research thus not only offers benefits for commercial juice preparation but also provides new insight into effects of shape differences in concentration technologies.

Melatonin in Apples and Juice: Inhibition of Browning and Microorganism Growth in Apple Juice.

Project description:Synthetic melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, MT) is popular in the US and Asian markets as a health supplement. Here, we identified a naturally occurring melatonin source in apple juice. Melatonin was present in all 18 apple cultivars tested. The highest melatonin level of the edible part of apple was detected in the apple peel. The melatonin content in 'Fuji' apple juice is comparable to the level of its flesh. Melatonin was consumed during the process of juicing due to its interaction with the oxidants. Melatonin addition significantly reduced the juice color change to brown (browning). The mechanism is that melatonin scavenges the free radicals, which was indicated by the ASBT analysis; therefore, inhibiting the conversion of o-diphenolic compounds into quinones. Most importantly, melatonin exhibited powerful anti-microorganism activity in juice. The exact mechanisms of this action are currently unknown. These effects of melatonin can preserve the quality and prolong the shelf life of apple juice. The results provide valuable information regarding commerciall apple juice processing and storage.

Human dietary intervention study with blueberry-apple juice

Project description:Human volunteers (N=143; 98 females and 45 males; aged 18-45 years) consumed one litre of blueberry-apple juice per day for four weeks. Before and after the intervention blood was drawn and lymphocytes were isolated for subsequent RNA isolation. Each participant acted as his own control. Each subject acted as his own control, meaning that the fluorescent labeled cRNAs of each subject before and after the intervention were mixed and hybridized on one chip. To rule out any possible dye effect, samples from each subject before and after the intervention were randomly labeled with Cy3 and Cy5.

Apple juice greatly reduces systemic exposure to atenolol.

Project description:AimFruit juice reduces the plasma concentrations of several β-adrenoceptor blockers, likely by inhibiting OATP2B1-mediated intestinal absorption. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of apple juice on the pharmacokinetics of atenolol.MethodsTwelve healthy Korean volunteers with genotypes of SLCO2B1 c.1457C> T (*1/*1 (n = 6) and *3/*3 (n = 6)) were enrolled in this study. In a three-phase, one-sequence crossover study, the pharmacokinetics (PK) of atenolol was evaluated after administration of 50 mg atenolol. Subjects received atenolol with either 300 ml water, 1200 ml apple juice or 600 ml apple juice.ResultsApple juice markedly reduced the systemic exposure to atenolol. The geometric mean ratios (95% confidence intervals) of apple juice : water were 0.18 (0.13, 0.25, 1200 ml) and 0.42 (0.30, 0.59, 600 ml) for the AUC(0,t(last)). In this study, the PK parameters of atenolol responded in a dose-dependent manner to apple juice.ConclusionsApple juice markedly reduced systemic exposure to atenolol. The genetic variation of SLCO2B1 c.1457C>T had a minimal effect on the pharmacokinetics of atenolol when the drug was administered with water or apple juice.

Crystallization-induced mechanofluorescence for visualization of polymer crystallization.

Project description:The growth of lamellar crystals has been studied in particular for spherulites in polymeric materials. Even though such spherulitic structures and their growth are of crucial importance for the mechanical and optical properties of the resulting polymeric materials, several issues regarding the residual stress remain unresolved in the wider context of crystal growth. To gain further insight into micro-mechanical forces during the crystallization process of lamellar crystals in polymeric materials, herein, we introduce tetraarylsuccinonitrile (TASN), which generates relatively stable radicals with yellow fluorescence upon homolytic cleavage at the central C-C bond in response to mechanical stress, into crystalline polymers. The obtained crystalline polymers with TASN at the center of the polymer chain allow not only to visualize the stress arising from micro-mechanical forces during polymer crystallization via fluorescence microscopy but also to evaluate the micro-mechanical forces upon growing polymer lamellar crystals by electron paramagnetic resonance, which is able to detect the radicals generated during polymer crystallization.

Enhanced Antioxidant Activity for Apple Juice Fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC14917.

Project description:The present study examined the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC14917 fermentation on the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of apple juice. Apple juice was fermented and examined of its antioxidant activity using chemical models and cellular antioxidant assay. Furthermore, the chemical composition of fermented apple juice was characterized by LC-MS/MS. Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC14917 fermentation showed an increase in DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity as well as cellular antioxidant activity of apple juice. However, fermentation decreased the total phenolic and flavonoid content. Subsequent LC-MS/MS analysis of the phenolic profile indicated that the content of 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA), quercetin, and phloretin with strong antioxidant activity was increased significantly after fermentation. The modified phenolic composition may contribute to the increased antioxidant activity of fermented apple juice. Our findings showed that Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC14917 fermentation may be an efficient way to enhance the bioavailability of phenolic compounds and to protect cells from oxidative stress.

Examination of novel Aureobasidium pullulans isolates dominating apple microflora and assessing their potential for apple juice spoilage.

Project description:There is very little up to date information regarding apple microflora so in the current study we decided to address that issue and assess whether dominant fungi which reside in fruit might spoil apple juice. Microorganisms were isolated from apples of Koksa Górska harvested in the middle of October in 2016 and 2017. Identification of isolates was based on the sequencing of ribosomal DNA. Some isolates were characteristic for a particular year but in both years apple microflora was dominated by Aureobasidium pullulans. Based on phylogenetic analysis it was stated that only one isolate (LW81) was closely related to strains which are already described in available databases. All other isolates collected in the current study differed significantly from sequences stored in databases, tending to form a common cluster. It was possible to predict secondary structure of ITS2 region only for the isolate LW81, while we managed to establish the length and location of 5.8S gene in Rfam database for all sequences. A. pullulans is known exopolysaccharide producer so obtained microorganisms were tested for their ability to synthesise those substances on Czapek-Dox agar. The strain which proved to be the most significant exopolysaccharide producer (isolate LW14) was inoculated in the sterilised apple juice at three different initial cell number (100, 1000 and 10,000 cfu/ml) and subjected to pasteurisation. In all cases pasteurisation eliminated fungal growth effectively, therefore A. pullulans strains should not pose any risk to the quality of pasteurised apple juices.

Production of pectinases for quality apple juice through fermentation of orange pomace.

Project description:Production of pectinases by Aspergillus niger was successfully carried out through solid state fermentation. Orange pomace was used as substrate to produce pectinases using a wild type of A. niger isolated from a rotten orange texture. Some of the important parameters affecting exo- and endo-pectinases activities such as temperature, moisture, C/N ratio were optimized. The results indicated that the produced pectinases exhibited maximum activity in temperature range of 45-55 °C and the maximum enzyme productivity occurred at 70% moisture content and C/N ratio of 10. The enzyme kinetic was studied using Michaelis-Menten and Logistic model and the equation were fitted to experimental data for both exo- and endo-pectinases activities. In evaluation of kinetic model, it was found that Monod model presented perfectly fitted with experimental data. Monod kinetic parameters [Formula: see text] for exo-pectinase activities were [Formula: see text] mM, respectively. The Monod kinetic parameters [Formula: see text] for endo-pectinase activity were [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] respectively. Finally, the performances of the produced pectinases were evaluated on natural apple juice. It was confirmed that concentration of soluble sugar, clarity and viscosity of the juice and the yield of extracted juice were significantly improved by the enzymatic hydrolysis activity of pectinases.

Quick-freeze/deep-etch electron microscopy visualization of the mouse posterior pole.

Project description:The mouse is one of the most commonly used mammalian systems to study human diseases. In particular it has been an invaluable tool to model a multitude of ocular pathologies affecting the posterior pole. The aim of this study was to create a comprehensive map of the ultrastructure of the mouse posterior pole using the quick-freeze/deep-etch method (QFDE). QFDE can produce detailed three-dimensional images of tissue structure and macromolecular moieties, without many of the artifacts introduced by structure-altering post-processing methods necessary to perform conventional transmission electron microscopy (cTEM). A total of 18 eyes from aged C57BL6/J mice were enucleated and the posterior poles were processed, either intact or with the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell layer removed, for imaging by either QFDE or cTEM. QFDE images were correlated with cTEM cross-sections and en face images through the outer retina. Nicely preserved outer retinal architecture was observed with both methods, however, QFDE provided excellent high magnification imaging, with greater detail, of the apical, central, and basal planes of the RPE. Furthermore, key landmarks within Bruch's membrane, choriocapillaris, choroid and sclera were characterized and identified. In this study we developed methods for preparing the outer retina of the mouse for evaluation with QFDE and provide a map of the ultrastructure and cellular composition of the outer posterior pole. This technique should be applicable for morphological evaluation of mouse models, in which detailed visualization of subtle ocular structural changes is needed or in cases where post-processing methods introduce unacceptable artifacts.
