B vitamins and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides of cashew apple fermented with probiotic strains Lactobacillus spp., Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Bifidobacterium longum was written by Kaprasob, Ratchadaporn;Kerdchoechuen, Orapin;Laohakunjit, Natta;Somboonpanyakul, Promluck. And the article was included in Process Biochemistry (Oxford, United Kingdom) in 2018.Category: tetrahydrofurans This article mentions the following:
Five strains of probiotic; Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and Bifidobacterium longum were targeted for enhancing B-group vitamins and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) of cashew apple juice (CAJ) that is an underutilized byproduct from cashew nut processing. Although fermentation by Lb. acidophilus and Lb. casei resulted in increasing B-group vitamins contents (19.25% and 23.11%, resp.) than fermented CAJ with others probiotic, vitamin B2 levels of fermented CAJ were not different significantly. Results also indicated total sugar contents of fructose, glucose, galactose, sucrose, melibiose, and maltotriose were decreased during 48 h of fermentation The CAJ fermented with Lb. acidophilus and Lb. plantarum had higher oligosaccharide contents (RFO and FOS). The CAJ fermented with Lb. acidophilus had the highest FOS of 1-kestose (GF2), nystose (GF3) and 1F-β-fructofuranosyl nystose (GF4), whereas fermented with Lb. plantarum had the highest RFO (raffinose and stachyose). These results suggest that fermented CAJ could serve as a new prebiotic source with B-group vitamins for functional foods and nutraceutical applications for further human health application. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (2R,3R,4S,5S,6R)-2-(((2S,3S,4S,5R)-2-((((2R,3S,4S,5R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)oxy)methyl)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)oxy)-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol (cas: 470-69-9Category: tetrahydrofurans).
(2R,3R,4S,5S,6R)-2-(((2S,3S,4S,5R)-2-((((2R,3S,4S,5R)-3,4-Dihydroxy-2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)oxy)methyl)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)oxy)-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol (cas: 470-69-9) belongs to tetrahydrofuran derivatives. Tetrahydrofuran (THF), or oxolane, is mainly used as a precursor to polymers. Being polar and having a wide liquid range, THF is a versatile solvent. THF can also be synthesized by catalytic hydrogenation of furan. This allows certain sugars to be converted to THF via acid-catalyzed digestion to furfural and decarbonylation to furan, although this method is not widely practiced. THF is thus derivable from renewable resources.Category: tetrahydrofurans
