Improvement the Resveratrol Content of Germinated Peanut Drink by Lactic Acid Fermentation

Abstract

Because peanut is a legume of nutrient abundance and contains a wide variety of chemical constituents such as proteins, carbohydrates, fibers, fats, niacin, folate, thiamine, resveratrol, flavonoids, magnesium, and phosphorus, a lot of researcher focus the study on the peanut. Especially the peanut has high content of resveratrol, so the health benefits including anti-aging, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and the prevention of cardiovascular disease, therefore the study that the peanut is used to process food and treat disease carried out widely. In this study, the condition to optimize the process programmes of fermentative germinated peanut drink by response surface experiment and to increase resveratrol contents by lactic acid bacteria is determined. In order to improve the resvertrol contents of fermentative germinated peanut drink, was prepared by using four-day germinated peanut as raw materials?adding Lactobacillus and xylitol before pasteurized, fermentation and cold storge. By single factor analysis and response surface experiments, the optimum conditions for fermentative germinated peanut drink were the amount of inoculum 3.26%, the amount of xylitol 6.2%, the fermentation time 15h and the ratio of material to water 1:5(g/mL). Product quality was evaluated through sensory evaluation.  Investigate the change in resveratrol content of fermentative germinated peanut drink by HPLC. Resveratrol contents were increased from 674.22 ±2.47 μg/L to 815.82±4.53 μg/L in germination peanut drink after fermentation.
