AI Technical Summary
There is a lack of compound fermented beverages on the market made from macadamia nuts and jujubes, which fail to effectively combine the aroma of jujubes with the nutritional value of macadamia nuts, and thus cannot meet consumers' needs for health and taste.
Macadamia nut pulp is obtained by mixing macadamia nut kernels with water, juicing and filtering. Chicken skin fruit is soaked to remove astringency, juiced and filtered, and then enzymatically hydrolyzed to obtain chicken skin fruit juice. This juice is then mixed with white sugar, stachyose and nut pulp, fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum, and sterilized to produce a chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage.
The resulting macadamia nut fermented beverage with chicken skin fruit flavor has strong antioxidant activity, a moderate sweet and sour taste, and a pleasant flavor that meets consumer demand. Moreover, both macadamia nuts and chicken skin fruit are unique economic tree species in Guangxi, and their market application prospects are broad.

[0002] Macadamia nut is also known as Hawaiian nut and Australian walnut (scientific name: Macadamia integrifolia Maiden & Betche). The nut flesh is rich in nutrients such as protein, niacin, and minerals, and also contains dietary fiber components that can promote intestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation, promote digestion, and have beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases, growth and reproduction, immune system, cancer, aging, brain and vision. The fermented beverage of the nut type not only combines the rich nutrients of the nut and the nutrients of the fermentation process, has a unique flavor, high nutritional value, and with the increasing demand for beverages, the nut type fermented beverage occupies a certain position in the market. It not only meets the daily taste needs of people but also meets the health needs of people, and has a broad market prospect.
[0003] Chicken skin fruit contains organic acids, vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, dietary fiber, etc. It has good health care functions, can enhance human immunity, eliminate edema, and has health care functions such as relieving phlegm and relieving cough. Chicken skin fruit has a high content of volatile oil and has the functions of expelling parasites, resisting cancer, and enzyme inhibition. Chicken skin fruit has high nutritional value but has not formed a deep processing industry. The nutritional value is lost after being processed into condiments, and there is a lack of high-value-added utilization technology. With the development of the food industry, people's living standards are continuously improving, and people's requirements for food are continuously improving. People pay more attention to physical health and food safety and nutrition. Foods representing health, green, and nutrition are more popular with consumers, and compound fermented beverages are one of the choices of consumers.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a compound fermented beverage using macadamia nuts and chicken skin fruit as raw materials, combining the unique fragrance of chicken skin fruit and the sweet and sour taste of chicken skin fruit with the nutritional value of macadamia nuts, and using fermentation process research to meet the taste and health of consumers.

[0050] Experimental Example 1
[0051] Determination of antioxidant activity in vitro
[0052] (1) Experimental method:
[0053] ① Determination of DPPH free radical scavenging rate
[0054] According to the method in the literature {Liu T, Wei S J, Ren J, et al. Changes in main components and antioxidant activity during mulberry juice multi-strain fermentation process [J]. Food Science and Technology, 2017, 38(19): 131-135+141.}, the DPPH free radical scavenging rate was determined, and VC was used as the positive control.
[0055] ② Determination of ABTS free radical scavenging rate
[0056] According to the method in the literature {Yan S F, Bao Y H, Xiao M, et al. Development of black medlar and rose compound beverage and evaluation of its quality and antioxidant activity [J]. Journal of Food Safety and Quality Inspection, 2022, 13(09): 2972-2980.}, the ABTS free radical scavenging rate was determined, and VC was used as the positive control.
[0057] Preparation of experimental groups
[0058] ① Preparation of sample groups
[0059] According to the steps (1)-(4) described in Example 3, chicken skin fruit flavored Australian nut compound fermented beverage was prepared, with the only difference being that the stachyose in step (2) was changed to a mass ratio of 2%, and step (4) was changed to sterilization at 100℃ for 10min. The prepared product was diluted with distilled water to a series of concentrations, and the DPPH· free radical and ABTS free radical antioxidant assays were performed.
[0060] ② Positive control experiment
[0061] Dissolve L(+) ascorbic acid in distilled water to make 0.2 mg / mL V C Standard solution, further diluted to a series of concentrations, to determine the DPPH free radical scavenging ability and ABTS free radical scavenging rate.
[0062] (3) Antioxidant experiment results
[0063] ① DPPH free radical scavenging rate
[0064] DPPH free radical scavenging as Figure 1 shown, when the volume fraction was 1.0 mL / mL (i.e. the original solution), the chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage had the highest DPPH free radical scavenging rate, reaching 86.73%, close to the DPPH free radical scavenging rate of VC at the same concentration.
[0065] ② ABTS free radical scavenging rate
[0066] The ABTS free radical scavenging rate of the chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage is shown in Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 , with the continuous increase of the volume fraction, the ABTS free radical scavenging ability of the chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage gradually increased, and when the volume fraction was 1.0 mL / mL, the ABTS free radical scavenging rate of the chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage was the highest, reaching 78.06%. This shows that the chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage has strong ABTS free radical scavenging effect.
[0067] Experimental Example 2
[0068] (1) Physicochemical index determination method
[0069] The chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage prepared after improving Example 3 (same as the antioxidant experiment in Example 1) was determined for physicochemical indexes, and the total acid content (calculated as citric acid) was determined according to the method of GB 12456-2021 "National Food Safety Standard Determination of Total Acid in Food"; the pH value was determined using a handheld pH meter; the sugar content was determined using a handheld sugar meter.
[0070] (2) Physicochemical index determination results (see Table 1)
[0071] Table 1
[0072]
[0073] As shown in Table 1, the pH, sugar content and total acid of the macadamia nut compound beverage after inoculation and fermentation are lower than those of the macadamia nut compound beverage without inoculation, and the reason is that lactose is converted into lactic acid under the action of microorganisms during fermentation.
[0074] Experimental Example 3
[0075] Sensory evaluation of chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage
[0076] The chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage prepared after improvement of Example 3 (same as the antioxidant experiment of Experimental Example 1) was subjected to sensory evaluation, and 10 food science students were organized to form a sensory evaluation group. According to the evaluation criteria in Table 2, the color, aroma, texture and taste of the chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage were evaluated in terms of sensory characteristics.
[0077] Table 2 Sensory evaluation criteria for chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage
[0078]
[0079]
[0080] As shown in Table 2, the sample group was prepared and subjected to the same antioxidant experiment, and under the process conditions, the sensory score of the chicken skin fruit flavored macadamia nut compound fermented beverage was 92.6, the beverage was milky white, the sweetness and acidity were moderate, the organization was uniform, and the smell was coordinated.
[0081] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, several improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
