Effect of microencapsulated Jabuticaba ( Myrciaria cauliflora ) extract on quality and storage stability of mortadella sausage
2018
The aim of the present study was to add microencapsulated Jabuticaba aqueous extract (MJE) to mortadella as a natural dye and to evaluate its possible antioxidant and antimicrobial activity during refrigeration. Anthocyanins in the extract were quantified and identified. Three treatments of mortadella were prepared: without dye (Control), with cochineal carmine (Carmine) and with the addition of 2% MJE. We determined the chemical composition of mortadella, along with pH, instrumental color, lipid oxidation, microbiological characteristics ( Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus , Salmonella , sulphite-reducing Clostridium , aerobic mesophiles, aerobic psychrotrophics and lactic acid bacteria) and sensory acceptance during storage at 4 °C for 56 days. MJE showed high content of anthocyanins, with prevalence of cyanidin-3-glucoside. MJE improved sensory acceptance of texture and flavor of mortadella (P < 0.05), but we observed a slight decrease in color and aroma attributes (P < 0.05). Lipid oxidation of mortadella was not influenced by MJE or cochineal carmine. MJE also displayed a minor effect on physicochemical and microbiological characteristics during storage. As MJE did not alter most of mortadella sausage's evaluated characteristics, it could be used as a natural dye in order to make better use of agro industry waste and to create a meat product enriched with natural antioxidants.
