Abstract

Control of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and browning prevention in apple and potato purees by using guava extract (GE) compared with distilled water (DW) were studied at 4 concentrations, including 25%GE (0.24 g wet guava pulp/mL of the extract), 50%GE (0.48 g wet guava pulp/mL of the extract), 75%GE (0.72 g wet guava pulp/mL of the extract), and 100%GE (0.97 g wet guava pulp/mL of the extract). After storage for 5 h, the browning value of apple and potato purees blended with 100%GE was significantly lower than those treated with 50%GE, 25%GE, and DW (p≤0.05). The L* value of apple puree treated with 100%GE was significantly higher than those treated with others (p≤0.05), while L* value of potato puree treated with 100%GE was not significantly higher than that treated with 75%GE (p>0.05), but significantly higher than those treated with others (p≤0.05) during storage. The inhibitions of both PPOs were increased by increasing in guava extracted concentration. The most effectiveness in inhibition of apple and potato PPO activity was 74.53±0.41% and 64.62±0.52%, respectively. Moreover, 100%GE exhibited a higher inhibitory effect on apple PPO than 0.02% w/v citric acid and 0.02% w/v ascorbic acid, while it exhibited a higher inhibitory effect on potato PPO than 0.02% w/v citric acid, and showed similar inhibitory effect to 0.02% w/v ascorbic acid. 100%GE showed the highest total phenolic compound and 0.02% w/v ascorbic acid content values of 880.73±2.15 µg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/mL sample and 122.67±2.02 µg/mL, respectively. In conclusion, GE possessed effective inhibitors against enzymatic browning in apple and potato purees.
