长短链益生元差异化调控发酵红心火龙果汁胶体稳定性的界面行为与机制

Interfacial Behaviors and Differential Mechanisms of Long- and Short-Chain Prebiotics in Modulating Colloidal Stability of Fermented Red Pitaya Juice

  • 摘要: 为明晰不同聚合度益生元差异化调控发酵果汁多相胶体稳定性的界面作用机制,本研究以去籽红心火龙果汁为原料,采用复合乳酸菌发酵后,分别添加8%(w/w)低聚果糖(FOS)、低聚半乳糖(GOS)、菊粉(Inulin)并均质处理,以未发酵原汁、无益生元发酵果汁为双重对照,系统测定体系理化指标、风味特征、流变行为、界面颗粒特性、多尺度微观结构及热力学性能。结果表明,三种益生元通过链长特异性界面行为差异化调控胶体稳定性:低聚果糖吸附于颗粒表面形成水化隔离层,借助空间位阻维持颗粒分散,粒径稳定在2.707 μm;低聚半乳糖因多点桥联诱发絮凝,使稠度系数显著提升至8.55 Pa·sⁿ,热稳定性最优(吸热峰154.27 ℃),但导致颗粒粒径增大至6.614 μm;菊粉则通过长链分子缠结构建三维网络,离心沉淀率最低(17.90%),抗沉降与护色效果最优。FTIR与XRD证实,益生元与果汁基质间仅存在氢键、分子缠结等非共价相互作用,未改变体系化学骨架与晶型。此外,低聚果糖可有效平衡发酵果汁糖酸比,感官接受度最高(87.0分);低聚半乳糖流变改性与热稳定特性突出,适配热加工场景;菊粉在风味保留与长货架期稳定性方面优势显著。本研究揭示了益生元链长与发酵果汁胶体稳定特性之间的构效关系,为功能性发酵果蔬汁中益生元的定向复配与精准应用提供了理论依据。

     

    Abstract: Prebiotics with different degrees of polymerization could regulate the colloidal stability of fermented juice through distinct interfacial mechanisms. In this study, seedless red pitaya juice was used as a model system to investigate these mechanisms. After fermentation with a composite culture of lactic acid bacteria, 8% (w/w) fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), or inulin was individually incorporated into the fermented juice and homogenized. Unfermented juice and fermented juice without prebiotic supplementation served as dual controls. Physicochemical properties, flavor profiles, rheological behaviors, interfacial particle characteristics, multiscale microstructures, and thermal properties were systematically characterized. The results indicated that the three prebiotics enhanced colloidal stability through distinct chain-length-dependent interfacial mechanisms. FOS adsorbed onto particle surfaces to form hydrated steric barrier layers, thereby maintaining particle dispersion and stabilizing the mean particle size at 2.707 μm. GOS promoted particle flocculation through multipoint bridging interactions, increasing the consistency coefficient to 8.55 Pa·sⁿ. It also exhibited relatively high thermal stability, as indicated by an endothermic peak at 154.27 ℃. However, this was accompanied by an increase in the mean particle size to 6.614 μm. In contrast, inulin formed a three-dimensional network through long-chain molecular entanglement. This network reduced the centrifugal sedimentation rate to 17.90% and improved resistance to sedimentation. It also contributed to the retention of juice color. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses suggested that the interactions between prebiotics and the juice matrix were governed exclusively by non-covalent forces, primarily hydrogen bonding and molecular entanglement, without altering the chemical structure or crystalline characteristics of the system. Furthermore, FOS improved the sugar-to-acid ratio and achieved the highest sensory acceptability score (87.0). GOS exhibited superior rheological enhancement and thermal stability, making it particularly suitable for thermally processed products, whereas inulin showed distinct advantages in flavor retention and long-term storage stability. Overall, the findings highlighted the relationship between prebiotic chain length and the colloidal stability of fermented juice, providing mechanistic insights that may support the rational selection and application of prebiotics in functional fermented fruit and vegetable beverages.
