Post-harvest diseases can be a huge problem for the tropical fruit sector. These fruits are generally consumed in natura; thus, their integrity and appearance directly affect commercialization and consumer desire. Anthracnose is caused by fungi of the genus Colletotrichum and affects tropical fruits, resulting in lesions that impair their appearance and consumption. Antifungals generally used to treat anthracnose can be harmful to human health, as well as to the environment. Therefore, essential oils (EO) have been investigated as natural biofungicides, successfully controlling anthracnose symptoms. The hydrophobicity, high volatility, and oxidative instability of essential oils limit their direct application; hence, these oils must be stabilized before food application. Distinct delivery systems have already been proposed to protect/stabilize EOs, and nanotechnology has recently reshaped the food application limits of EOs. This review presents robust data regarding nanotechnology application and EO antifungal properties, providing new perspectives to further improve the results already achieved in the treatment of anthracnose. Additionally, it evaluates the current scenario involving the application of EO directly or incorporated in films and coatings for anthracnose treatment in tropical fruits, which is of great importance, especially for those fruits intended for exportation that may have a prolonged shelf life.

ABSTRACT: A comparative study was perfomed with conventional and ultrasound assisted extraction on tomato processing waste. Ultrasound extraction exhibited slightly higher phenolic and flavonoids content, as well as higher ABTS + radical scavenging capacity (4.63 mg GAE.g-1, 0.96 mg RUE.g-1 and 27.90 μmol TE.g -1 respectively). On both extracts, a high percentage of flavonoids was lost during simulated digestion, resulting on a bioacessibility of approximately 13 %. Extracts presented good stability during storage conditions, which indicates a possible technological application.

Abstract Important functional compounds present in fruits are often lost in technological processes and during storage. Microencapsulation technique allows maintaining the compounds of interest and adding value to the product using functional encapsulating materials. This work aimed to produce microencapsulated guava pulp using the spray-drying technique and a functional encapsulant material, i.e., a mix of inulin and maltodextrin. The guava pulp was analyzed for centesimal composition, carotenoid content, and antioxidant activity. The microspheres were analyzed for retention of carotenoids, antioxidant activity over time, and morphology by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction. Two proportions of coating material could maintain the antioxidant activity of guava pulp. The microencapsulation with a higher percentage of inulin is a preferred option due to the good results of retention and stability regarding antioxidant activity over time, relevant retention of the carotenoid content, and a more stable microstructure. In addition, inulin can add value to powders owing to its inherent functional properties. The product obtained in the study is innovative and interesting, as well as may provide a capable use of these materials as encapsulated agents. In fact, it can be considered a potential functional ingredient.

For many years, it was believed that only amino acids, dipeptides, and tripeptides could be absorbed and thus reach the bloodstream. Nowadays, the bioavailability of oligopeptides is also considered possible, leading to new research. This pilot study investigates the activity of brush border enzymes on undigested whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) and on simulated intestinal digested (ID) whey hydrolysate and the subsequent absorption of resultant peptides through the proximal jejunum of a 7-week old piglet setup in an Ussing chamber model. Amongst all samples taken, 884 oligopeptides were identified. The brush border peptidase activity was intense in the first 10 min of the experiment, producing several new peptides in the apical compartment. With respect to the ID substrate, 286 peptides were detected in the basolateral compartment after 120 min of enzyme activity, originating from β-lactoglobulin (60%) and β-casein (20%). Nevertheless, only 0.6 to 3.35% of any specific peptide could pass through the epithelial barrier and thus reach the basolateral compartment. This study demonstrates transepithelial jejunum absorption of whey oligopeptides in an ex vivo model. It also confirmed the proteolytic activity of brush border enzymes on these oligopeptides, giving birth to a myriad of new bioactive peptides available for absorption.

Abstract The aim of this work was to investigate the possibility of obtaining a juçara pulp powder by spray drying with no carrier agent addition. The pulp was filtered and then dried in a lab scale spray dryer. The process yield was relatively high (66%) and a highly anthocyanin-rich (7,079 ± 83 mg/100 g cyanidin-3-glucoside) powder was obtained. Total phenolic content (14,305 ± 551 mg/100 g) and antioxidant capacity (4,155 ± 92 µmol of Trolox/g) were satisfactorily preserved after drying, showing similar or better results than those reported using carrier agents, as well as solubility, bulk density and morphology. Finally, pulp powder was stable for 103 days, at different storage conditions, with respect to color, anthocyanin content and antioxidant capacity, showing potential to be used as a natural colorant or antioxidant in food products.

ABSTRACT Brazil is one of the world’s leading fruit producers and its processing must be exploited as a means of value aggregation. The new food habits of the population show a concern with health and the search for healthier foods, but the current population model of life requires that these products do not lose their convenience and practicality. The purpose of this work was to produce spray-dried mixed pulp of passion fruit and mango and to assess physical, chemical, microbiological and morphological stability during the shelf life. The bioactive compounds of microspheres were analyzed as to the content of carotenoids, phenolic compounds, vitamin C and antioxidant activity. Microspheres were also evaluated for the stability of color, water activity, solubility, and microbiology. The microstructure and morphology of the microspheres were obtained from the analysis of the distribution of particle size, x-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy scanning. No significant losses were observed (p < .05), for bioactive compounds. The carotenoids, phenolic compounds, Vitamin C and antioxidant activity remained stable throughout the 90 days of storage of the microspheres. The powder presented stable coloring, highly soluble, microbiologically safe for consumption and low water activity. The microstructure and morphology presented the typical nature of microencapsulated products obtained by spray drying. The microencapsulation was effective in protecting the bioactive compounds by keeping them stable throughout the study period. The powder obtained can be used as a functional ingredient in food products thereby enriching them with bioactive compounds.
