Int., 2 (4), 24-252, 199 hanges in arrt Juice mpnents Bacteria Due t Fermentatin by Selected Lactic Acid Hideki SAKAMOT0,1'2 Masaru KOGUHI,2 Yuki IsHIGUR02 a Tkichi MIYAKAWA1 1 Department f Fermentatin Technlgy, 2Research Institute, Kagme., Ltd., 17, Faculty f Engineering, Hirshima Nishitmiyama, Nishinasun(mach University, Higashihirshima 739, Japan Nasu-gun, Tchigi 329-27, Japan Received May 1 7, 199 Lactic acid bacteria were evaluated fr suitability in prducing a fermented carrt juice. All nine strains f lactic acid bacteria studied grew well in the juice. Sensry evaluatin iicated that L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus IAM-1120 a L. helveticus JM-1120 prduced the mst favrable juice. These strains prduced less diacetyl, suggesting that the lack f diacetyl prductin is an imprtant factr fr acceptable fermented juice. Mrever, decreased aldehyde a increased ketne cmpnents f fermented carrt juice by these selected strains was bserved by gas chrmatgraphy/mass spectrmetry, a this was suggested t cntribute t taste imprvement. Althugh the clr f the fermented juice changed in fresh range clr, there was n significant difference in cartenid cmpsitin a their cntents. Keywrds: carrt juice, Iactic acid fermentatin, diacetyl, clr, cartenid Lactic acid bacteria have a lng histry in fd prductin, because lactic acid fermentatin cntributes t imprved strage qualities, physical prperties a flavr. Recently, the physilgical functins f lactic acid bacteria, such as relieving intestinal disrders a having an immunstimulatin effect, have attracted public attentin (Benn, 1994). Typical examples f fds prduced using lactic acid bacteria include prcessed dairy prducts (e.g., cheese, ygurt), traditinal feamented cereal prducts (e.g., mis, sy sauce, sake) a prcessed meat prducts (e.g., sausage, etc.). It is interesting t nte that lactic acid bacteria selected fr these fds vary depeing n the fd materials (Nakan, 197). Fr prductin f lactic acid fermented vegetable prducts such as sauerkraut a pickles (Daeschel & Fleming, 1984), haltlerant lactic acid bacteria f the grups Pedicccus r Lactbacillus are used a give the prducts a specific fiavr. Hwever, there were few reprts abut the lactic acid bacteria suitable fr vegetable juice applicatins. In this study, Iactic acid fermentatin was examined using carrts as a substrate. Amng vegetables, carrts are the richest in p-cartene cmpus, which are attributed t prviding certain health effects (Hart & Sctt, 1995). Because carrts cntain nly a small amunt f rganic acids, carrt juice (ph 5.-.0) is a lw acid fd a requires retrt sterilizatin after canning fr strage. Hwever, this sterilizatin methd causes quality deteriratin f carrt juice due t severe heat treatment a is an inefficient prcess fr cmmercial prductin. In cntrast, Iactic acid ferrnentatin changes the fiavr a results in a mre acidic juice which may nt require as much heat prcessing. T date, mallactic fermentatin f carrt juice by the additin f malic acid (Takanami et al, 199 l) a traditinal Iian lactic acid fermented beverage (kanji) frm black carrt (Berry et al, 1 989) have been reprted. Hwever, rganleptically-preferable lactic acid fermentatin a the change in the cmpnents f carrt juice due t fermentatin have nt been adequately studied. In this study, Iactic acid bacteria suitable fr the prductin f carrt juice were selected, a subsequent changes in the carrt juice cmpnents due t fermentatin were evaluated. Mre detailed chemical analysis was dne n the juice prducts f specific strains which sensry panelists preferred. Materials a Methds Preparatin f carrt juice arrt juice was prepared by the fllwing prcess in the Kagme Research Institute pilt plant, Tchigi. arrts (variety: Kurda-5-sun) btained frm a lcal market were washed, blanched in a ht water at 90' fr 30 min a lye-peeled by a rller-type peeling machine. They were crushed int small pieces (average size 2-3 mm) using a micrgrader Mdel MR-130 (5 mm screen size, Seiken., Ltd., Tky) heated t 85' a centrifuged by decanter Mdel HS-204LS (IHI., Ltd., Tky) at 3,000 rpm fr 10min. After pasteurizatin at l05' fr 30 s by a plate-type heat exchanger Mdel MRS-2 (Hisaka, Wrks Ltd., Osaka), the juice was cncentrated t 3% Brix by evapratr Mdel T-1B (Alfa Laval., Ltd., Lu, Sweden) at 0' 55 cmhg pressure. The mass btained was packed in a plyethylenefilm bags a stred at -20' in a freezer. Befre each experiment, cncentrated carrt juice was thawed in a cld rm (5') a diluted with distilled water t.5% Brix, which crresped t raw carrt juice. This carrt juice was pured int Erlenmeyer flasks, pasteurized in ht water (95', 5 min) a cled rapidly uer running tap water.

The six Lactbacillus strains used were L. acidphilus IFO- 1 395 1, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) IAM- I 1 20, L. casei IAM-1045, L. delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii (L. delbrueckii) IFO- I 085, L. helveticus JM-1 120 a L. plantarum IF0-3070. MRS brth (Man et al, 190) was used fr lactic acid bacteria grwth. BL agar medium (Eiken hemical., Ltd., Tky) was used fr the determinatin f the viable cell ppulatin as clny faming units (cfu)/ml after cultivatin fr 48 h at 30' uer anaerbic citins (BBL Gas Pak, H2+02 anaerbic system, Japan Bectn Dickinsn., Ltd., Tky). Fermentatin f carrt juice Lactic acid bacteria were first pre-incubated in MRS medium. The bacteria were inculated int 100ml f medium in a 200 ml fiask a statinarily Incubated at 37' fr 20 h in a water bath. The bacteria shwing slwer grwth were activated by repeating the abve prcedure. Precultures were prepared by inculatin f MRS culture int 100 ml f recnstituted carrt juice in a 200 ml Erlenmeyer fiask at an inculum rati f 3% (v/ v) a by incubatin uer the same citins as mentined abve. Fr the fermentatin test, these precultures were used by inculatin similarly int 200 ml f recnstituted carrt juice in a 500 ml Erlenmeyer fiask at an inculum rati f 3% (v/ v) a statinary incubatin at 37' fr 20 h in the incubatr. After fermentatin, all juices, including nn-fermented cntrl samples were filled int 200 ml glass bttles a pasteurized at 95' fr 5 min. They were stred in a 5' cld rm until each analysis. hemica/ analysis Ttal acidity was determined by titratin with O. I N NaOH a expressed as percent lactic acid. The ph measurements were made with a ph meter F- 12 (Hriba Ltd., Kyt) equipped with a glass electrde. Iividual rganic acids (citric, acetic, Iactic a malic) were determined by HPL using a Shdex A0-30 system (Shwa Denk K.K., Tky) a an 8cX300 mm Lnpack K-81 1 separating clumn at 80'. Samples were diluted I :3 a a 20 pl aliqut was injected after filtratin using a membrane filter (0.45 pm). The mbile phase was I mm HI04 at I.O ml/min; the eluted acids were passed thrugh a pst clumn reactin system where they were mixed with ST3-P reagent (Shwa Denk K.K.) a detected at 430 nm by a Shdex VD- I detectr. arbhydrates (sucrse, glucse a fructse) were determined by HPL n an L-3A system (Shimadzu rp., Kyt). Samples were diluted I :3 a 20 pl was injected after filtratin using a membrane filter (0.45 pm). Injected samples were separated n a 4.c x250 mm Shdex NH2P-50 clumn a detected by a refractive Iex detectr ER-7521. The mbile phase was 75% acetnitrile slutin a the fiw rate was I ml/min. The amin acid cmpsitin was determined using amin acid analyzer mdel L-8500 (Hitachi, Ltd., Tky). Samples were diluted I : 5 with 3% (v/v) sulfsalicylic acid slutin, a after filtratin thrugh a membrane filter (0.45 /tm), aliquts (20 pl) were injected int the analyzer. Vlatile analysis Vlatile cmpnents were analyzed by G-MS using an HP 5972A (Hewlett-Packard., Pal Alt, A, USA) mass spectrmeter fitted with an HP 5890 series 11 G a an HP hemstatin data system. arrt juices were centrifuged at 8,000 rpm fr 5 min, a the supernatants were diluted 1:10 with distilled water. The mixture f 10 ml diluted sample a 5 pl -dichlrbenzene/ benzyl alchl (0.012%, v/v) slutin as an internal staard were put int a 25 ml glass tube. The tube was cnnected t a Purge & Trap ncentratr LS-2000 (Tekmar., incinati, OH, USA) a held at 0'. On purging with helium gas (40 ml/min) fr 0 min, the gases generated were trapped nt a Tenax-TA (GL Science Inc., Tky) tube. After 15 min f helium gas aeratin fr dehydratin, the tube was heated at 200' fr min t desrb the vlatiles. Then the vlatiles were cryfcused at - 100' a directly intrduced int the analyzer with a capillary clumn J & W DB-WAX (30 mx0.25 mm i.d., df=0.5 pm) at 200' fr 2 min. The temperature prgram was isthermal fr I min at 40' a was then raised t 190' at 3'/min. The detectr temperature was 250'. The inizatin vltage was 70 ev (EI mde), a the mass range was m/z 35-300. Determinatin f the diacetyl cncentratin was dne based n staard curves btained by the same methd, using O. l, 0.5, I.O a 2.0 ppm diacetyl slutins. Sensry evaluatin Each fermented carrt juice was evaluated by the paired-preference test (Yamaguchi, 1973), using nn- fermented carrt juice as a cntrl with 1 5 trained sensry panelists. Samples were kept in a glass bttle at 20' a were tested uer a red lamp t distinguish the difference in clr. Panelists were als asked t describe their reasns fr selectin. Statistical analyses were judged by the tw-tailed test. lr a cartenid analysis The clr f treated carrt juice was measured by a Hunter clr difference meter ND-80 (Nippn Denshku I.., Ltd., Tky). The absrptin spectra f the juice were analyzed using a U-32 lo spectrphtmeter (Hitachi, Ltd.). The analysis f a-, a -cartene cntent a the cmpsitin f cartenids was dne by the reversed phase HPL technique, after extracting the cartenids frrn the juice samples. Fr extractin, 2 g f each sample were accurately weighed ut a mixed with 10 ml pyrgalll slutin (3%, w/v), I ml KOH slutin (0%, v/v) a I.8 g KOH. Subsequently, the mixture was incubated at 70' fr 20 min. After additin f 5 ml HI slutin (%, v/v) a 15 ml ethyl acetate/n-hexane (1 : 9, v/v), the mixture was shaken fr lomin. After centrifugatin, the supernatant was dried with a stream f nitrgen gas. T the residue, n-hexane was added t reach an accurate vlume f loml; this slutin was used fr HPL analysis. HPL analysis was carried ut using a PR-18-5 clurnn (Merck &., Inc., NJ, USA) a slvent (methanl : acetnitrile : dichlrmethane : water=7:7:2:0.1, v/v). Each cartenid was quantified at 450 nm wavelength. T determine cy-, a -cartene cncentratin, calibratin curves based n peak area were established using the staard samples (SIGMA hemical., St. Luis. MO.. USA), which were prepared as 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 mg% slutin in n-hexane. 247

All fthese stralns grew well In the juice. Acid prductin level was very high in L. delbrueckii IF0-l085 a L. plantarum IF0-3070 (ver 0.5%, v/v).

Based n the majrity f descriptins, these fermented juices had a gd sur a citrus fruit-like taste. The ther strains, especially L. casei IAM-l045, L. delbrueckii I FO- 1085 a Entercccus faecalis IFO- 1294, prduced strng ff-flavr taste a were cncluded t be unsuitable fr carrt juice. T date, mallactic ferrnentatin f carrt julce with L. plantarum has been reprted. In this case, the fermentatin was dne by additin f malic acid a required a lng perid (4 days) (Takanami et al, 1991). Similarly, Iactic acid fermentatin f black carrt beverage (mixed with salt water a seasning) fr 10 days was reprted (Berry et al, 1989). In the present study, the fllwing tw fiings were cnsidered t be interesting. The preferred species (L. bulgaricus, L. he/veticus, L. acidphilus a S. thermphilus) fr carrt juice fermentatin have generally been used fr prductin f ygurt a sur milk; whereas, the unsuitable species (L. delbrueckii, L. casei, L. plantarum a Leu. mesenterides) had been detected in ther fermented vegetable prducts a cereal prducts.

Therefre, the amunts f diacetyl in carrt julce fermented by varius lactic acid bacteria were cmpared by the G-MS methd. Figure I shws the frmatin f diacetyl after fermentatin with the 9 strains examined a nn-fermented carrt juice. As these figures clearly shw, the strains preferred by sensry evaluatin (L. helveticus JM-1 120 a L. bulgaricus IAM-1 120) frmed nly a small amunt f diacetyl. On the ther ha, rganleptically unsuitable strains (L. casei IAM-l045, L. delbrueckii IFO- 1085 a Entercccus faecalis IFO- 1294) prduced a large amunt f diacetyl. This research shwed that an imprtant factr fr the selectin f an acceptable strain suitable fr lactic acid fermentatin f carrt juice was the lack f diacetyl prductin. The changes in ther fiavr cmpnents were bserved by the cmparisn f G-MS spectra. The gas chrmatgrams fcarrt juice fr nn-fermented, fermented with L. helveticus JM-1 120 a with L. casei IAM-l045 are shwn in Fig. 2, where the peaks shwing significant changes are summarized in Table 2. Many f the aldehyde cmpus such as peak 3, 3-methyl butanal; peak 5, pentanal; peak, hexanal; peak 8, heptanal; peak 10, ctanal; peak 14, nnanal; peak 1, decanal, etc., which were cmmnly knwn as a fiavr cmpnents (Maarse & Visscher, 1989), remarkably decreased, whereas ketne cmpus such as peak 9, 2-heptanne, a peak 1 3, 2-nnanne, were prduced by fermentatin f L. helveticus JM-1120.

It is knwn that lactic acid bacteria, such as L. plantarum, Leu. ens a Leu. mesenterides, have mallactic fermentatin activity, cnverting malic acid t lactic acid by decarbxylase reactin (Radler & Brauhl, 1984). Thugh the activity f mallactic fermentatin in L. helveticus has nt been reprted, the present study suggests its reactin. Hwever, judging frm the amunt f lactic acid prduced (ca. 0.58%), it was cnsidered that the acid was mainly prduced by sugar cnsumptin (ca. 0.54%). In terms f the amin acid cntents f the juice, nly a decrease in aspartic acid cntent was bserved. hanges in clr a structure f cartenids due t lactic acid fermentatin Similarly, changes in clr a cartenids in carrt juice befre a after the lactic acid fermentatin were examined. The lactic acid ferrnentatin caused a large change in clr, Ieading t a light, favrable clr with raised L, a a b values as shwn in Table 3. Hwever, this change is almst the same fr acidificatin by acid (data are nt shwn). In terms f absrptin spectra, the spectral pattern was nt changed by the fermentatin, but the absrbance after the fermentatin was higher than befre Table 3. hemical cmpsitin a clr parameters in nn-fermented a fermented carrt j uice (L. helvettcus ). ph Refractive iex (%) Acidity (%) Ttal amin acid (mg%) L value a value b value a/b value Sucrse (%) Glucse (%) Fructse (%) itric acid (%) Malic acid (%) Lactic acid (%) Acetic acid (%) c!-artene (mg%) fi-artene (mg%) : Nn detected.

Althugh this change was cnsidered as an imprvement caused by extractin a/r retentin f cartenids, the determinatin f cartenids cntents was nt reprted. Fr clr change caused by rganic acids such as citric acid, there were reprts n the clr change in itrus unshiu during strage (Tada, 1987) a in live berry by lactic acid feamentatin (Minguez-Msquera & Gaul-Rjas, 1994). These changes were cnsidered t be caused by the cnversin f 5,-epxy-cartenid in juice t 5,8-franxy-cartenid. In the present study, it was shwn that the clr changes in carrt juice uer acid citins culd nt be attributed t the change in cartenids. It might be changes in prteins, pectin r ther cmpnents in the juice that resulted in the spectral changes. The factrs respnsible fr these changes remain t be slved. nclusins Fr the develpment f an acceptable lactic acid-fermented carrt juice, the prducts using the strains L. helveticus JM-ll20 a L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus IAM-1120 were preferred by sensry panelists. These strains hardly prduced diacetyl; therefre, it was cnsidered that the lack f diacetyl prductin activity was the mst imprtant factr in the sensry selectin. Mrever, a decrease in aldehydes a the ccurrence f ketne cmpus in fermented carrt juice prduced by these selected strains was bserved, a it was suggested t cntribute t the taste imprvement. Althugh the clr f the fermented juice changed t a fresh range clr as a result f lactic acid prductin, there was n significant difference in the cartenid cmpsitin a their c ntents.
