ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to find the possibility of fermenting purple sweet
potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) and black glutinous rice (Oryza sativa L.) with
Lactobacillus acidophilus. Two substrates, namely purple sweet potato (PSP) and
black glutinous rice (BGR) were saccharified by the combination of 0.1 % amylase and 0.15% glucoamylase. Saccharified PSP and BGR were subjected to
lactic acid fermentation using 1% starter culture of Lactobacillus acidophilus.
Falcultative anaerobic fermentation was performed for 24 hours at 37oC. The
resulted lactic fermented PSP and BGR contained 6.20 x 108 CFU/mL and 1.12 x
108 CFU/mL viable cell count, respectively. Also, PSP and BGR lactic acid solution
had 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity IC50
values of 31.8g/mL and 34.42 g/mL, respectively. Fermentation had no effect
on the antioxidant activity of fermented solutions. Based on these data, it
suggested that PSP and BGR fermented by L.acidophilus could be used to
develop the healthy food with the supplement of viable cells and antioxidant
activities.
Keywords: lactic acid fermentation, saccharified PSP, BGR, Lactobacillus
acidophilus, anthocyanins, antioxidant activity
1. INTRODUCTION
Fermentation includes various traditional processes which allow fresh food
to be preserved for future uses. People has been fermented food since ancient
times. Nowadays the main purpose of food fermentation is not to preserve but to
produce a wide variety of food fermentation products with specific taste, aroma,
and texture. Being enriched with probiotic bacteria, fermented products have
evolved into one of the most successful class of functional foods. Lactic acid
bacteria (LAB) are principle organisms involved in fermentation for the purpose
of probiotic as well as flavor enhancement and preservation (Anderson, 1988).
Among LAB used in fermentation, Latobacillus acidophilus have been applied
extensively in food fermentation and processing (Lee et al., 2011). Deraz et al.
(2007) reported that L.acidophilus was widely used in fermented dairy products
in oder to reduce the levels of harmful bacteria and yeasts in the small intestine.
L.acidophilus strains have been widely utilized as a dairy starter culture for their
therapeutic activities associated with an intestinal microbial balance, and has
been used in fermented foods, and as a probiotic in dietary supplements
(Sanders & Klaenhammer, 2001). However, L.acidophilus fermentation of
substrates rich in anthocyanins such as purple sweet potato and black glutinous
rice has been very limited. Duangjicharoen et al. (2008) showed that plant and
root beverages are healthy due to their high nutritional value and presence of
bioactive compounds derived from the substrates used and during the
fermenteation process.
Many fruits, vegetables, cereal grains and flowers which have red, purple
and blue colors all contain anthocyanin pigments. Anthocyanins have an electron
deficiency due to their particular chemical structure, which makes them very
reactive toward free radicals present in the body; help them to be powerful
natural antioxidants. In recent years, the interest in anthocyanins pigments in
consumer market has increased due to their possible health benefits as dietary
antioxidants (Bridgers et al., 2010). Moreover, anthocyanins become attractive
sources of natural food colorant and textile industry as an alternative to
synthetic food dyes because of their deep purple-red color (Wegner et al., 2009).
Purple sweet potato (PSP), scientifically known as Ipomoea batatas L., is
easily grown in tropical area. It is rich in vitamin (B1, B2, C, E), minerals
(calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc), especially anthrocyanins. The purple
sweet potato can be recommended as a superior source for production of foods
with health benefits (Suda et al., 2003). Due to the high level of anthocyanins,
PSP is considered as a healthy food additive and potential source of natural food
colorants. Suda also indicated that PSP belong to a group with highest stability
to heating and intraviolet ray radiation. A study by Kano et al. (2005) showed
that the pigments of PSP anthocyanins have higher levels of radical scavenging
activity than other pigments. Because this reason, acylated anthocyanins from
purple sweet potato can be used as natural colorants due to their high heat and
light stability. Moreover, PSP anthocyanins have useful characteristics for food
manufacturing, remaining stable after heating and ultraviolet irradiation (Kano et
al., 2005). Therefore PSP could be used in food industry as antioxidants to
improve human health.
Like purple sweet potatoes, black glutinous rice (BGR) or Oryza sativa L.,
also possess color substances that belong to the flavonoid. A commonly found
anthocyanin in colored rice is acelylated procyanidins, which is reported to
possess a free radical scavenging activity (Oki et al., 2002). Acoording to
Satharut (2012), black rice contain two main compounds of anthocyanin;
cyanidin 3-glucoside (C3G) and peonidin 3-glucoside (P3G).
Recently, yogurt, drinking-yogurt type beverage have been consumed
widely in Asian countries. Many researchers have used many kinds of raw
materials as a substitution of milk for fermentation. Substrates for cereal-based
lactic fermented products contained corn, sorghum and millet (Nashiru et al.,
1992), and extruded rice (Viet et al., 1992). Lactic acid fermentation of cassava
was also studied in Nigeria (Nashiru et al., 1992). A study by Wongkhalaung
(1995) sucessflully made drinking yogurt-type beverage from sweet potato.
Sweet potato was saccharifized with 2 kinds of enzyme alpha-amylase and
glucoseamylase. Using 1% starter culure Streptococcus thermophilus and
Lactobacillus bulgaricus, fermentation was carried out for 18-21 hours at 37oC.
The product contained about 0.7% acidic as lactic acid and 6.8 x 10 8 CFU/g
viable cell count. Another research from Lee et al., (2011) showed that the
fermented yam with Lactobacillus acidophilus can be served as a functional food
and nutraceutical content, such as allantoin and diosgenin. In a study of Sasaki
and Ohma (2004), purple weet potatoes were added in lactic acid bacteria drink
to develop the anthocyanin content. Nevertheless, researches
on using
substrates rich in anthocyanins for lactic fermentation have still little known in
Viet Nam.
So far, there has been little discussion about the change of antioxidant
activity after fermenting process. A study of Sasaki & Ohba (2004) showed that
lactic acid bacteria drink (LABD) with purple sweet potato had the most
antioxidant activity compared with LABD without PSP and a 10% PSP solution
(which contained the same level of anthocyanins as the PSPLABD prior to
fermentation). The result of antioxidant activity of PSPLAB drink before and after
fermentation did not differ significantly. Another research from Wu et all (2012)
also studied on fermented PSP milk, the authors also used DPPH radical
scavenging assay to measure the antioxidant activity. However the result of
DPPH scavenging activities in their study was not similar to Sasaki & Ohba
(2004).
Thus, further study needed to carry out in an attempt of finding a way to
enhance
ultilization
and
consumption
of
products
rich
in
anthocyanins;
research
experiments
were
conducted
in
the
laboratory
of
International University, Linh Trung, Thu Duc Dist, HCM city, Vietnam.
2.2 Materials
Purple sweet potato (PSP), scientifically known as Ipomoea batatas L. and
black glutinous rice (BGR), or Oryza sativa L. used in this study were purchased
from the Nguyen Son market, Tan Phu Dist, HCM city and An Giang province,
Vietnam. They were stored at 4oC until used.
Lactobacillus acidophilus was obtained from the Genus collection of Ho
Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT). This strain was propagated in
MRS broth (see Appendix 1) for 24 hours at 37 oC and finally stored at -20oC in
MRS broth containing 20% glycerol, before being subjected to fermentation.
2.3 Chemicals
The -amylase used was Temamyl 120L (Novozymes, produced from
Bacillus licheniformis, stored at 4oC, density 1.26g/mL) with an optimal pH 6
6.5, optimal temperature 85oC and activity of 120 KNU-T/g enzyme. A kilo novo
unit, KNU, is the amount of enzyme necessary for breaking down 5.26g starch
per hour. The glucoamylase used was Amyloglucosidase EC 3.2.1.3 (Sigma,
USA, obtained from Aspergillus niger, stored at 4oC, density 1.2g/mL) with an
optimal pH 3.6 - 4.2, optimal temperature 60oC. Enzyme activity is that 0.1 mL
of this enzyme will digest 1 gram of corn or wheat starch to glucose.
2.4 Experimental design
2.4.1 Saccharification of purple sweet potato and black glutinous
rice
Saccharification of purple sweet potato and black glutinous rice were
carried out by the method described by Wongkhalaung (1995) with a slight
modification. PSP were washed, peeled, sliced and steamed for 15 minutes.
Next, PSP were mashed while hot; the moisture was checked again; and a
mixture was created by mixing the mashed PSP with distilled water to get the
solution of 10% dry matter. Saccharification was carried out at 60 oC in an
incubator for maximum 90 minutes using 0.15% (dry matter) of glucoamylase
and 0.1% (d.m.) -amylase.
BGR were also ground and mixed with distilled water to get the solution of
10% dry matter. Then the mixture was cooked for 25-30 minutes. Stirring was
needed during the cooking process (prevent clotting at the bottom).
Saccharification was carried out in an incubator at 60oC for maximum 90 minutes
using 0.15% (d.m.) of glucoamylase and 0.1% (d.m.) -amylase.
2.4.2 Preparation of lactic fermented PSP and BGR
Lactic fermented PSP and BGR was prepared according to the method of
Lee and others (2011). Saccharified PSP and BGR were heated to 95 oC and held
for 5 minutes to inactivate the enzymes. Then the solutions obtained from the
process were centrifuged to get the clear supernatant and sterilized at 121oC for
15 minutes. L. acidophilus incubated at MRS broth at 370C was collected at the
log phase and centrifuged. The precipitant was washed 3 times with distilled
water and was later used as fermenting microorganism. Lactic acid fermetation
was performed at 37oC in facultative anaerobic condition for 24 hours, using 1%
starter cultures. All steps were executed in a safety cabinet in order to minimize
contamination for medium preparation, culturing bacteria, viable cell counting.
MRS broth and 100mL MRS broth, respectively. The relationship between the
number of colonies and OD value was investigated after each 5 hours from 0 to
20 hours. With each OD value, the number of colonies was calculated and the
growth curve for L.acidophilus was established. From this, the starter culture
could be controlled.
2.4.3 Microbial analysis
MRS plate count agar was used for L.acidophilus counting (Lee et al.,
2011). One mL of sample diluted with 9 mL of sodium chloride solution (0.85%).
Subsequent dilutions of each sample were plated in Petri dishes and incubated at
37oC for 72 hours. Viable cell count of lactic acid bacteria (CFU/mL) was then
enumerated by using the
(1)
slight modification. Solvent, acidified ethanol (pH ~ 3.5) _ 70% ethanol with 7%
acetic acid, was added to treatment tubes and distilled water was used as
control. With raw material, 5%( DW, w/v) of PSP and BGR were used as solid
loadings. PSP roots were sliced ( 2-3 mm thickness chips) and diced ( 3mm3).
BGR was milled and passed through the 250 m sieve. Diced PSP roots and BGR
flour were measured into 50mL Falcon tubes. All tubes ( except controls) were
shaken (100rpm) and incubated for 1 hour in an incubator at 80oC. After
centrifugation at 6000rpm, 4oC for 15 minutes, the supernatant was taken and
stored at -80oC until anthocyanin analysis. All samples were analyzed within a
week.
With fermented solutions, anthocyanins were extracted by adding 50mL
acidified ethanol into these 10% (DW, w/v) PSP and BGR solutions. The
procedure for measuring anthocyanins from fermented solution was similar to
the one used in raw material solutions.
Total monomeric anthocyanin content of PSP and BGR were determined
by the spectrophotometric pH differential method (Lee et al., 2005) ( AOAC
Official Method 2005.02). To measure the absorbance at pH 1.0 and 4.5, the
samples were diluted in appropriated dilution factor with pH 1.0 potassium
chloride buffer and pH 4.5 sodium acetate buffer, respectively. The absorbance
of each dilution was measured at 520 nm and 700 nm by using a
spectrophotometer (GENESYS 10S UV-Vis, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Madison,
WI, USA). The concentration of anthocyanin pigment was calculated by the
following equation:
Monomeric anthocyanin pigment (mg/L) = [ A diff x MW x DF x 1000] /
(3)
where MW represents molecular weight of cyanidin-3-glucoside (449.2); DF is
dilution factor, is molar absorptivity of cyanidin-3-glucoside (26900 L/mol cm)
and Adiff was calculated from the following equation:
Adiff = (A520nm A700 nm)
pH 1.0
(A520nm A
700nm) pH 4.5
(4)
Note that A700 was measured and subtracted off in order to eliminate the effect
of haze or sediments in the sample.
2.4.6
Assay
of
1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl
(DPPH)
radical
scavenging activity
To measure antioxidant activity, the DPPH radical scavenging assay was
carried out as described previously (Sasaki & Ohba., 2004 ; Kano et al., 2005)
with a slight modification. The sample solutions were centrifuged at 1300 x g for
10 min. After that 2 mL sample of the supernatant was mixed with 2 ml of 100
M DPPH in ethanol. Ethanol (2mL) with DPPH solution was used as blank. These
solutions were kept in dark for 30 min at room temperature. The absorbance of
the mixture was determined at 517 nm. Three replicates are done. The
antioxidant activity of test compounds is expressed as IC50, which was defined as
the concentration of test compounds required to inhibit DPPH radiacls by 50%.
Percentage of inhibition was calculated using the following formula:
Percent ( %) inhibition of DPPH activity = [ (A-B)/A] x 100
(5)
Where A is the optical density of the blank and B is the optical density of the
sample.
2.5 Data analysis
The experimental results were expressed as average values (means)
standard deviations ( or CV- coefficient of variation). The analysis of variance (
ANOVA) was conducted using SPSS version 16.0 to test the significant different
between groups ( P < 0.05).
3. RESULTS
3.1 Initial analyses of purple sweet potato (PSP) and black glutinous
rice (BGR)
Initial analyses in this study helped to determine compositions of raw
material (PSP and BGR). Moisture content, protein, lipid, ash, crude fiber and the
anthocyanin contents of two above substrates were listed in Table 1. These
results were based on the wet weight of the materials and then they were
converted into dry basis (d.b) for easily compared. The coefficient of variation
(CV) was also included, providing a general evaluation about the performance of
the method.

4. DISCUSSION
4.1 Initial analyses of purple sweet potato (PSP) and black glutinous
rice (BGR)
In comparison with the USDA nutrient database, the basic compositions
of PSP and BGR including moisture, protein, lipid, ash, fiber (Table 1) in this
study were acceptable.
Total anthocyanin content of PSP was 58.46 mg Cyd-3-glu-E/100 f.w.
(Table 1). This result was higher than those results found in Teow et al. (2007)
24.6-43.0 mg/100g fw and Brown et al. (2005) 15-38 mg/100g f.w. However,
the investigation by Suda et al. (2003) showed anthocyanins in the same data as
this study, 60mg/100g f.w. Extracted anthocyanins from PSP have been reported
in literature ranging from 15mg/100g f.w. to 182 mg/100g f.w. (Brown et al.,
2005).
Meanwhile the total anthocyanin of BGR was 79.27 mg Cyd-3-glu-E/100g
f.w., correspond to 900.08 g/g d.b (dry basis). This result was lower than total
anthocyanin content, 3276 g/g d.b, as reported by Abdel-Aal and Hucl (2003).

5. CONCLUSION
After saccharifying two substrates, purple sweet potato (PSP) and black
glutinous rice (BGR) with the combination of 0.1 % -amylase and 0.15%
glucoamylase in 90 minutes at 55oC, the reducing sugar content in the solutions
were suitable for the next step, the fermenting step. By using 1% starter culture
of Lactobacillus acidophilus, falcultative anaerobic fermentation of two substrates
were carried out for 24 hours at 37oC. The results indicated that lactic fermented
PSP contained about 10% soluble solid; 15.45% sugar; 0.54% acidity as lactic
acid and 6.20 x 108 CFU/mL viable cell count. Lactic fermented BGR contained
10% soluble solid; 14.58% sugar; 0.35% acidity as lactic acid and 1.12 x 108
CFU/mL viable cell count. The anthocyanin contents after fermentation were
62.62 mg/100g (d.b) with PSP substrate and 55.09 mg/100g (d.b) with BGR
substrate. PSP and BGR lactic acid solution had 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl
(DPPH) radical scavenging activity IC50 values of 31.8g/mL and 34.42 g/mL,
respectively. Statistical
analysis
showed that
the antioxidant
activity
of
fermented PSP and BGR were not significantly different after fermentation. It
means that, fermentation had no effect on antioxidant activities of these
fermented solutions
Based on the viable cell count of these two fermented solutions, this
study showed that PSP and BGR were the appropriate substrates for lactic acid
fermentation of L.acidophilus. Therefore, it can be concluded that there were
virtuous possibilities to develop products of beverage with antioxidant activity
from lactic fermentation of saccharified PSP and BGR.
