Enhancing Phytochemical Compounds, Functional Properties, and Volatile Flavor Profiles of Pomelo (<i>Citrus grandis</i> (L.) Osbeck) Juices from Different Cultivars through Fermentation with <i>Lacticaseibacillus paracasei</i>

The current study aimed to explore the effects of fermenting five different pomelo cultivars using <i>Lacticaseibacillus paracasei</i> on various physicochemical, phytochemical, and organoleptic attributes. Fermentation led to an increase in viable lactic acid bacteria count (8.80–9.28 l...

description The current study aimed to explore the effects of fermenting five different pomelo cultivars using <i>Lacticaseibacillus paracasei</i> on various physicochemical, phytochemical, and organoleptic attributes. Fermentation led to an increase in viable lactic acid bacteria count (8.80–9.28 log cfu/mL), organic acids, total polyphenols, and flavonoids, resulting in improved antioxidant activity, bile acid binding, cholesterol micellization disruption, and inhibition of pancreatic lipase activity. Additionally, some cultivars displayed higher levels of naringin, naringenin, and hesperetin after fermentation. The levels of volatile compounds were elevated after fermentation. The bitterness and overall acceptability scores were improved in the fermented samples of the Kao Numpueng cultivar. The principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the Tubtim Siam cultivar demonstrated the highest functionality and health-related benefits among all fermented pomelos. Overall, the study suggests that pomelo exhibits potential as a valuable resource for creating a dairy-free probiotic drink enriched with bioactive phytochemical compounds and beneficial functional attributes.
