Quality and biological properties of vinegar processed from non-valorized fruits in Southern Portugal
Open accessAbstract
The processing of vinegar from non-valorized fruits and agricultural surpluses is an attractive strategy for biomass waste management. The present study aimed to characterize vinegar of fermented fruits, namely fresh fig, plum, dried fig, grape, raspberry, and apricot. Physicochemical and microbial quality, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), mineral composition, and antimicrobial capacity against bacteria and yeasts were studied. Grape and apricot vinegar had the highest values of TAC (39.31±0.25, 34.10±1.44 DPPH µg Trolox/100 mL, respectively), while grape contained the highest TFC (35.73±3.86 mg catechin/100 mL) and raspberry and fresh fig, the highest TPC (55.40±1.1, 64.10±0.0 mg gallic acid/100 mL, respectively). Potassium, calcium and sodium were the most abundant minerals in the vinegars with dried fig standing out for its richness in potassium 1223.83±89.48 mg/L, calcium 17.70±1.31 mg/L, magnesium 2.39±0.24 mg/L, and zinc 4.33±0.17 mg/L. The enterobacteria Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella Typhimurium were the most tolerant (10.00±0.00-26.39±1.60 mm), while Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most sensitive bacteria (26.36±3.61-40.17±2.72 mm) as well as Gram + (Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria innocua) (21,20±8,37-31.11±2.41 mm). The acetification processes resulted in vinegars with a good hygienic status, and levels of acetic acid (≥5%) complying with the legislation.

In the citing paper
“As fermentation progresses, sugars are continuously consumed, leading to a reduction in the total sugar content to below 6 °Brix, marking the end of alcoholic fermentation and the onset of acetic acid fermentation [70,71].”

In the citing paper
“Prior to fermentation, sucrose is typically supplemented to achieve a total sugar content of over 15 °Brix in the fermentation medium, ensuring optimal energy metabolism for yeast and acetic acid bacteria.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
