Long-term storage of yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) juice: Phytochemical profile, in vitro prebiotic potential and discriminant bioactive properties

Investigating the potential of yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) juice in the development of organic apple-based snacks

“…Furthermore, the visual appearance of the snacks, as assessed by image analysis in terms of color, notably differed between non-impregnated and impregnated apple slices, particularly in lightness (L*) and hue angle. These differences were expected due to the dark brown color of yacon juice in contrast to the light yellow-green hue of fresh apples [ 49 ]. However, impregnated apples maintained their surface color throughout storage.…”

The antimicrobial and bioactive properties of lactobionic acid

“…In this case, an LBA concentration of 1% combined with steam blanching was found to be the best option for preserving the pH, antioxidants, color, and total polyphenols content of this juice. When the same yacon juice was tested for a long‐term storage (120 days), the appearance of molds and yeasts was delayed from day 60 in the control to day 120 for the juice with LBA added 31 . Goderska 34 added LBA dissolved in glycerol to rapeseed oil to check the preservative properties of this organic acid on a lipid‐based product.…”

In this research and as the author expected, the larger the LBA concentration, the higher the antioxidant effect observed.…”

Yacon Juice Residue Supplementation in Low Fish Meal Diet for Black Rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii)

“…Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is a root plant that produces a succulent and sweet product that is low in calories. It is consumed worldwide in the form of juice, jelly, syrups, and snacks (Da silva et al, 2018;Marques et al, 2021). However, after squeezing the juice from yacon, the residue, if not further _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No.…”
