Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food processing, and in particular relates to a method for improving the flavor of pear juice based on composite lactic acid bacteria synergistic fermentation. Background Art

[0002] Pear juice beverage is a natural juice beverage made from pear fruit. It is highly favored by consumers because it is rich in nutrients such as polyphenols, dietary fiber and minerals. However, traditional pear juice beverages have a single flavor, mainly relying on the aroma components of the pear fruit itself, lacking a sense of hierarchy, and are prone to produce a ripe taste after high-temperature sterilization, resulting in a decrease in taste quality. In addition, the bioavailability of polyphenols in the pear juice matrix is ​​low, and it lacks active ingredients such as probiotics, making it difficult to meet consumers' health needs for functional beverages.

[0003] Lactic acid bacteria are the most representative probiotics. They acidify food by rapidly synthesizing organic acids, thereby preventing contamination by harmful microorganisms and extending the storage time of food. Lactic acid bacteria have traditionally been widely used as natural food biological preservatives. Plant lactic acid bacteria beverages do not contain dairy ingredients, eliminating the risk of problems such as lactose intolerance. At the same time, plant lactic acid bacteria beverages can provide a variety of nutrients. Polyphenols in plants can act as prebiotics to promote the growth of human intestinal flora and their adhesion to intestinal cells. Lactic acid bacteria fermentation can also increase the physiological activity and absorption rate of polyphenols. Therefore, the development of functional lactic acid bacteria products has gradually become a research hotspot.

[0004] In recent years, pear lactobacillus beverages have gradually become a hot spot in the market, endowing pear juice with unique flavor and functional characteristics through lactobacillus metabolism. However, the prior art mostly uses a single lactobacillus (such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus or Streptococcus thermophilus) for fermentation, and its metabolic pathway is limited, resulting in a single flavor substance spectrum, obvious sourness and astringency of the product, and poor taste coordination. At the same time, single strain fermentation is difficult to balance the inherent fruity aroma of pear juice and fermented frankincense, and is prone to produce irritating flavor substances such as excessive acetic acid, and has limited biotransformation ability for components such as polyphenols and dietary fiber, making it difficult to give full play to the nutritional value of pear juice.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a method for preparing a pear juice beverage based on the synergistic fermentation of composite lactic acid bacteria. Through the metabolic complementarity of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus, the generation efficiency of flavor substances and functional ingredients is significantly improved, the organic fusion of pear juice fruity aroma and fermented frankincense is achieved, and at the same time the bioavailability of polyphenols and the survival rate of live bacteria are improved, giving the product rich flavor levels and prebiotic functions. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings and problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for improving the flavor of pear juice based on composite lactic acid bacteria synergistic fermentation, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1: washing, cutting, and juicing snow green pears, and filtering to obtain pear juice;

[0008] S2: adding pectinase to the pear juice obtained in S1 for enzymolysis to obtain enzymolyzed pear juice, and then heating and sterilizing the juice and then cooling the juice;

[0009] S3: adding the compound lactic acid bacteria freeze-dried powder to the enzymatically hydrolyzed fruit juice for bacterial inoculation, and then adding sugar to obtain pear juice with a sugar content of 6% to 8%; and then fermenting the pear juice to obtain pear juice fermented by compound lactic acid bacteria.

[0010] Furthermore, the amount of pectinase added in S2 is 30 mL, and the time of the enzymatic hydrolysis process is 30 min.

[0011] Furthermore, the heating time described in S2 is 15 minutes and the heating temperature is 90°C.

[0012] Furthermore, the inoculation amount of the inoculation process described in S3 is 0.25 g / L, and the composite lactic acid bacteria includes Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus in a mass ratio of 1:1 to 1:3.

[0013] Furthermore, the fermentation time in S3 is 24 to 48 hours, and the fermentation temperature is 30 to 40°C.

[0014] Furthermore, the sugar described in S3 is any one of white sugar and sucrose.

[0015] Beneficial Effects

[0016] Multi-factor orthogonal optimization: Through multi-dimensional orthogonal experiments on temperature (30℃~40℃), time (24~48h), strain ratio (1:1, 1:2, 1:3), and sugar content (6%~8%), the optimal combination of process parameters was screened out, which significantly improved the efficiency of flavor substance production and the survival rate of live bacteria.

[0017] Synergistic effect of bacterial strains: Through the combined use of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus, the complementarity and synergistic effect of metabolic pathways are achieved, which significantly improves the efficiency of flavor substance production and solves the technical problems of single flavor and insufficient functionality of single bacterial strain fermentation.

[0018] Rich flavor layers: By optimizing fermentation parameters (such as bacterial strain ratio, sugar content, pH value, temperature and time), the organic fusion of pear juice fruity aroma and fermented milk aroma is achieved, which significantly reduces the sourness and astringency produced by single bacterial strain fermentation and improves the product's taste coordination and flavor layers.

[0019] Nutritional function enhancement: The synergistic fermentation of compound lactic acid bacteria significantly improves the bioavailability of polyphenols in pear juice, while generating a variety of functional metabolites, giving the product stronger prebiotic function and health value.

[0020] Improved production efficiency: The combination of enzymatic hydrolysis and composite bacterial fermentation shortens the fermentation cycle, improves production efficiency, and improves product texture and stability. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
