Production of vinegar from purple sweet potato in a liquid fermentation process and investigation of its antioxidant activity

Abstract

JST-S was screened from solid fermented grains of vinegar in China, identified by molecular analysis, and used for the production of purple sweet potato vinegar using purple sweet potato as the substrate. By orthogonal experiment, maximum total acid concentration (4.26% [v/v]) was achieved under optimized conditions as follows: fermentation time, 3.5 days; ethanol content, 9% v/v; and inoculum size, 8% v/v. During the production of purple potato vinegar, the anthocyanin concentration decreased from 652.07 to 301.73 μg/mL. The antioxidant activity of products, including diphenyl-picryl hydrazide radical-scavenging capacity (above 60%), reducing power (above 0.47), and hydroxyl radical-scavenging capacity (above 46%), showed positive linear regression ( < 0.01), which could be related with the changes in anthocyanin concentration and antioxidant activities at different stages of vinegar fermentation. The acetic acid and other non-phenolic antioxidants in purple sweet potato vinegar may have contributed to the antioxidant activities. Results of these studies may provide a reference for the industrial production of vinegar by liquid fermentation of purple sweet potato.

The effects of solid-state fermentation on the content, composition and in vitro antioxidant activity of flavonoids from dandelion

“…The DPPH assay was conducted following a reported method with some modification [ 24 , 25 ]. Briefly, a 2×10 −4 mol/L DPPH solution was prepared using 95% ethanol, and 1 mL of the DPPH solution was added to 1 mL of sample solutions at different concentrations (FDF or DF).…”

Selection of Acetic Acid Bacterial Strains and Vinegar Production From Local Maltese Food Sources

“…Most studies related to the anthocyanin content of vinegar are mostly based on the grape as substrate. There are very few studies showing this relationship with other substrates (Su and Silva, 2006;Wu et al, 2017;Chakraborty et al, 2018).…”

Caracterização do vinagre artesanal produzido com casca de maçã

“…Além disso, o vinagre de maçã é abundante em aminoácidos, ésteres e outros nutrientes (Chen et al 2017). Ele tem função antioxidante e uma variedade de substâncias que têm efeitos benéficos para os tratamentos de beleza e imunidade (Wang et al 2017, Xie et al 2017, Wu et al 2017. Nos últimos anos, as pesquisas têm sido focadas no sabor e nas substâncias funcionais do vinagre de frutas pois, aumentou o interesse do consumidor em usar vinagre de frutas para se manter saudável e prevenção contra doenças.…”
