Abstract
Contemporary customers have increasingly heightened demands regarding their dietary preferences, favoring readily available and healthful ready-to-consume food and beverage alternatives. In order to fulfill this demand, the beverage industry has been exploring innovative products. Red beetroot juice (RBJ) is easily consumed and offers a beneficial advantage due to its betalain content. Both the traditional/spontaneous method and the industrial method are viable options for producing RBJ. The aim of this study was to examine the stability of betalains, the primary bioactive component in RBJ, throughout the fermentation process and during storage. The RBJ samples contained betalain pigments, as indicated by the infrared spectra. No decrease in betalain content was observed in either RBJ juice fermented by two different methods. The total betalain content of the RBJ samples was 594.068 and 535.152 mg/L at the beginning of fermentation through the spontaneous method and the method with the addition of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei 431 (Lc. paracasei), respectively, and 580.151 mg/L and 667.382 mg/L at the conclusion of fermentation, respectively. Mathematical models were employed to represent the degradation of betalains over time during storage. It was found that the sigmoidal model (R2 = 0.974) and other models (R2 = 0.957–0.969) demonstrated a greater potential to describe the degradation of betalains in RBJ samples produced by the spontaneous method compared to the first-order kinetics model (R2 = 0.932). The models used in the study were successful, with R2 values ranging between 0.927 and 0.932 in the RBJ samples produced with the addition of the probiotic Lc. paracasei for predicting betalain degradation.
