Abstract

This study investigated the effects of pineapple peel powder with varied chemical profiles and sonication-assisted polyphenol biotransformation during fermentation on the quality characteristics of yogurt products. It aimed at exploring the feasibility of sonication-assisted fermentation to enhance the physicochemical properties, control post-acidification, and improve antioxidant activities in yogurts fortified with polyphenol-rich pineapple peel powder. Targeted analysis showed that polyphenol-rich pineapple dietary fiber obtained by ultrasonication-assisted extraction (NPFU) exhibited the slowest rates of acidification, highest antioxidant capacity, and lowest degree of whey separation at 21.67 %. Sonication pretreatments significantly increased transformation of free phenolic acids derived from pineapple peel fiber during fermentation, particularly increasing the accumulation of ferulic acid, caffeic acid and 5-hydroxyflavone, revealing the positive effects of sonication-mediated fermentation in promoting the hydrolysis of conjugated phenolics into free fractions. Yogurts fortified with pineapple peel fiber displayed significantly higher antioxidant activities (p
