Improving the storage stability of tomato paste by the addition of encapsulated olive leaf phenolics and experimental growth modeling of A. flavus.

Abstract：

:It is necessary to apply some preservatives for tomato paste since in the harvest season, a high load of tomatoes need to be processed as they are among highly perishable products. Application of antimicrobial extracts or essential oils, as natural preservatives, in their raw forms might reduce their efficiency when they are exposed to environmental conditions. However, microencapsulation is a well-known method to solve this problem. Our main goal was to restrict fungal growth rate in stored tomato paste and increase its storage stability by incorporating encapsulated olive leaf phenolic-rich extract. Total Soluble Solids (TSS), consistency, pH, color indices and diametrical growth rate of Aspergillus flavus were measured for different samples. The treatments designed in terms of considering two levels of non-encapsulated olive phenolics extract with 500 and 1000 ppm (NE500 and NE1000), the same levels with encapsulated extract; i.e., 500 and 1000 ppm (ME500 and ME1000), and similar levels of the common preservative of sodium benzoate with 500 and 1000 ppm (B500 and B1000). Antifungal properties of NE samples were higher than ME ones during storage although ME samples could maintain diametrical growth rate of the fungus more stable than NE ones. NE samples justified lower maximum growth rate than ME samples while ME samples could extend lag phase of microbial growth compared with NE one and delay their internal deteriorative reactions. Among Baranyi, modified Baranyi, Modified Gompertz, and Logistic models, Modified Gompertz model represented the best model and could fit the growth factors of A. flavus on tomato paste with higher R2 index as well as lower RMSE and SSE indices. Based on the results obtained, it could be concluded that usage of encapsulated olive leaf extract in tomato paste is an effective, natural and sustainable approach to improve the shelf life of tomato paste since this natural compound could perform as favourable as preservatives; also it could maintain physicochemical as well as microbial properties of tomato paste for a long term. Thus, it is strongly recommended that application of encapsulated olive leaf extract to be considered seriously by the tomato paste industry as it can effectively reduce the mold and fungal contaminations which are very common and prevalent in the plants. The future work in this regard should focus on sensory evaluations when incorporating encapsulated olive leaf extract into tomato paste.
