Characterization of lemon peel powder and its application as a source of pectin degrading enzyme in clarification of cloudy apple juice.

ABSTRACT: The presence of pectin in the apple peel creates undesirable turbidity and sediment in the final juice and hence clarification is a necessary step for producing consumer-friendly apple juice. This study aimed at evaluating the potential of lemon peel powder as a source of reusable pectinase enzyme in the clarification of apple juice. In this study, optimization of the amount of lemon peel powder addition and incubation time was carried out to produce an apple juice of acceptable clarity. Lemon peel powder as an enzyme source having an activity of 2804.4 U/g could be successfully used up to 5 cycles of pectin hydrolysis. Pectinase enzyme in the lemon peel powder had greater stability at 4 °C with an 11.11% decrease in enzyme activity on 60th day of storage. Treatment with 0.5% w/v lemon peel powder at an incubation time of 90 min was found to be optimum as it produced a clarified apple juice with good sensory acceptability. Lemon peel powder as a naturally immobilized pectinase source was found to be effective in producing clear apple juice.

Project description:Antioxidant compounds such as phenolics and carotenoids scavenge reactive oxygen species and protect against degenerative diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease when used as food additives or supplements. Mango peel is a by-product of mango which is a good source of bioactive substances such as phytochemicals, antioxidants, and dietary fibers. Unfortunately, the study on mango peel as a potential food additive is very limited. Accordingly, the present study aimed to develop functional noodles through extrusion technology with the encapsulation of mango peel powder as a natural source of bioactive compounds. First, mango peel powder (MPP) was prepared and incorporated during the mixing of ingredients before noodles formation at three different levels (2.5, 5 and 7.5 %). Afterward, the noodles were studied to determine how the encapsulated MPP affects the proximate composition, physicochemical characteristics, polyphenols, carotenoids, anthocyanin, antioxidant and antidiabetic activity, and sensory characteristics. The noodles exhibited a dose-dependent relationship in the content of bioactive components and functional activities with the encapsulation of MPP levels. A significantly (p 0.05) higher value was noticed in 7.5 % of MPP-encapsulated noodles than in any level of MPP encapsulation in noodles. The fiber and protein contents in the MPP-encapsulated noodles were increased by about 0-1.22 % and 0-3.16 %, respectively. However, noodles' color index and water absorption index were decreased with the level of MPP encapsulation. The cooking loss of noodles increased from 4.64 to 5.17, 6.49, and 7.32 %, whereas the cooked weight decreased from 35.11 to 34.40, 33.65, and 33.23 % with 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 % of MPP encapsulation, respectively. However, MPP was stable during storage of noodles exhibiting higher phenolic content and antioxidant activity than control samples. The sensory evaluation showed that MPP-encapsulated noodles at levels 2.5 and 5 % had approximately similar overall acceptability values with the control sample. As a result of the findings, it appears that adding MPP up to 5 % to noodles improves their nutritional quality without changing their cooking, structural, or sensory aspects. Therefore, mango peel powder can be a potential cheap source for the development of functional noodles and food ingredients.
