Changes In Quality Of Unsalted Sauerkraut During Fermentation And Storage, Chen Le-Le, Xu Di-Jing, Wu Jun-Kai, Wang Yi-Yi

Food and Machinery

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the quality changes during the fermentation of sauerkraut without salt and inoculated with lactic acid bacteria and during low-temperature storage. Methods: The basic physicochemical indexes and quality changes of sauerkraut during fermentation were analyzed. Results: The unsalted sauerkraut reached maturity at 5 d of fermentation and the pH, nitrite content, reducing sugar content and vitamin C content decreased significantly (P<0.05) during the fermentation process. This included a decrease in vitamin C of up to 88.62% and a significant increase in total and overall organic acid levels (P<0.05). At fermentation maturity, the nitrite content was extremely low at (0.23±0.10) mg/kg; The organic acids were mainly lactic, oxalic and acetic acids and succinic acid. Except for succinic acid, other organic acids and other organic acids, such as oxalic and citric acids, increased after fermentation, and the lactic acid content increased by 26.5 times. Conclusion: The fermentation process effectively improved the sour and umami taste of the sauerkraut without salt, and ensured the excellent sensory quality. The storage performance was good at 4 ℃, and the storage period was 60 days.

Effect Of Mixed Bacterial Fermentation On The Quality Of Salt-Free Sauerkraut, Su Jing-Hong, Wu Bin

Food and Machinery

Objective: To use lactic acid bacteria to ferment salt-free sauerkraut. Methods: By considering the fermentation characteristics and bacterial inhibition capacity of the strains, lactic acid bacteria with high acid production capacity and bacterial inhibition capacity were selected to make a mixed ferment. Then, the fermentation process was optimized using single-factor tests and response surface tests. Results: Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus were selected as the fermenting strains with high growth activity, acid production capacity and bacterial inhibition capacity, and fermented at 30 ℃. The colour and odour of the sauerkraut prepared under this process condition was good and the organoleptic …


Optimization On Fermentation Process Of High Antioxidant Activity Of Malus Doumeri Fruits Beverage, Tian-De Cheng, Qing-Tong Xie, Li-Jun You Feb 2023

Optimization On Fermentation Process Of High Antioxidant Activity Of Malus Doumeri Fruits Beverage, Tian-De Cheng, Qing-Tong Xie, Li-Jun You

Food and Machinery

The comprehensive evaluation model of antioxidant capacity of Malus doumeri fruits beverage was determined by principal component analysis. Based on the antioxidant capacity of fermented beverage of Malus doumeri fruits, the single factor test and the response surface methodology were used to find out optimal fermentation conditions. Results showed that the comprehensive antioxidant capacity of Malus doumeri fruits fermented beverage was F综合=1.214 2×(0.386 2F1+0.241 2F2+0.196 2F3). The optimal fermentation parameters of antioxidant fermented beverage of Malus doumeri fruits were: starting at pH 5.0, fermentation temperature 30 ℃, adding 20 g/100 mL of …
