Geleneksel Fermantasyon Yöntemiyle Üretilen Sarı Alıç Meyve (Crataegus tanacetifolia) Sirkesinin Fizikokimyasal ve Duyusal Kalite Özellikleri

Abstract

In this study, some physical, chemical and sensory properties of vinegar produced from hawthorn (Crataegus tanacetifolia) by conventional method were investigated. According to the results of the analyses performed, dry matter, pH, total acidity, ash and conductivity values were determined to be 2.08±0.09%, 2.69±0.08, 20.49±0.13 g/L, 2.2±0.10 g/L and 1.36±0.08 μS/cm, respectively. As a result of the alcohol analysis performed after 9 months of storage, no alcohol was detected in the samples. Furthermore, total antioxidant activity and total phenolic content in vinegar samples were determined to be 86.23±8.12 μg trolox equivalent (TE)/mL and 751.11±15.71 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/L, respectively. In hawthorn vinegar samples, it was determined that the brix value was 2.24±0.07, density was 1.018±0.02 g/cm 3 , mean color values; L* values were 27.80±0.51; a* values were 1.33±0.04 and b* values were-0.30±0.13. 47.30±0.76 ppm Na, 3.38±0.04 ppm Mg, 197.14±3.50 ppm K, 2.59±0.47 ppm Ca, 83.20±0.43 ppm P, 0.42±0.01 ppm Fe, 0.02±0.01 ppm Cu, 0.33±0.00 ppm B, 0.18±0.00 ppm Zn, 0.75±0.01 ppm Al, 0.02±0.00 ppb Cr, 4.42±0.01 ppb Sn were found in hawthorn vinegar, which is rich in mineral content. According to the sensory analysis results, it was determined that the color scores of vinegar samples were 7.20±0.28, the aroma value was 6.25±0.32, the odor value was 6.75±0.37, the appearance value was 6.25±0.22, and the general appreciation value was 7.25±0.53.

Investigation of Some Biological Properties of Propolis in Hawthorn Vinegar Extract

“…The pH values of the HV sample and the PHV sample were determined respectively as 2.96 and 2.98. In studies in the literature, pH values of hawthorn vinegar samples are 3.28 [25], 3.76 [26], 3.3 [20], 2.69 [27], 2.76 [28], 3.63 [29], 3.67 (red) and 3.25 (black) [30]. The results obtained in our study are similar to the literature findings.…”

“…The amount of water-soluble solids in HV and PHV samples was determined as approximately 4 brix. In similar studies, the amount of water-soluble solids in hawthorn vinegar samples; was 5.33 [25], 1.26 [26], 2.24 [27], 3.17 [28], 5.45 [29], 9.3 (red), and 15.6 (black) [30] as brix was represented by high variability. The brix values obtained in our study were in the range of brix values of hawthorn vinegar in the literature (1.26-15.6).…”

“…The conductivity values for HV and PHV samples were found respectively as 2.27 and 3.20 µS/cm. In studies in the literature, the conductivity value of hawthorn vinegar was found to be 3.86 [25], and 1.36 [27] µS/cm. The conductivity values of both the HV sample and the PHV sample in our study are similar to other studies.…”

“…It can be said that the b* value of the PHV sample has a high value and its yellowness is more than the studies in the literature. It can be stated that the reason for this difference in the studies is due to the color of the shell of the hawthorn species [27]. In addition, it is thought that the heat treatment used in the extraction process affects the color properties of the samples.…”

Ultrasound-Treated and Thermal-Pasteurized Hawthorn Vinegar: Antioxidant and Lipid Profiles in Rats

“…The main components and bioactive compounds of hawthorn vinegar have been revealed in many studies. It has been reported that the total amount of antioxidants in traditional hawthorn vinegar fermentation methods have high phenolic and antioxidant capacities [ 32 ]. Additionally, in one study, the fermentation of vinegar increased the number of citric acid and acetic acid compounds [ 6 ].…”
