This study investigated the bioaccessibilities of phenolic compounds, carotenoids, antioxidant activity, and LAB survival in fermented mango juice. The fermentation improved the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds and influenced the bioaccessibility of carotenoids and antioxidant activity. Fermented 'Sabre' and 'Peach' MJs showed high LAB survival and antioxidant capacity, suggesting their potential as probiotic juices.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the bioaccessibilities of total phenolic compounds, carotenoid profile, antioxidant activity, and Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) survival in fermented mango juice (MJs) obtained from three mango cultivars after exposure to an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion model. The MJs from three cultivars ('Sabre', 'Peach', and 'Tommy Atkins') were fermented using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 75 (L75), Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides 56 (L56), and their combination (L56 + 75). Fermented MJs were digested and fractions: gastric (GF), intestinal (IF), and dialysis (DF) were analyzed for total polyphenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity (FRAP), 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and 2.2-azinobis-3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS). In addition, the carotenoid content and the LAB population were determined from the GF and IF. After digestion, TPC decreased while fermentation improved its bioaccessibility. L75-fermented 'Sabre' MJs had the highest bioaccessible TPC in the GF (75.65%), IF (50.10%), and DF (32.52%) while L56 'Peach' MJs increased the beta-carotene bioaccessibility by 1.32-fold at GF and IF (1.21-fold). When compared to the other two juices, 'Sabre' and 'Peach' MJs fermented with L75 showed the highest IC 50 values for DPPH and ABTS. Generally, L75-fermented 'Sabre' MJs had the highest LAB survival at both GF (7.57 Log CFU/mL) and IF (7.45 Log CFU/mL) and hold potential as probiotic juices. L56-fermented 'Sabre' MJs would ensure the delivery of four times the carotenoid recommended dietary allowance (RDA) to a target site in the body while L75-fermented 'Peach' MJs could be used to effectively counteract oxidants in the body system.
