Abstract

This study investigates the impact of different extraction temperatures on the physicochemical properties of glucomannan derived from mangrove fruits (Bruguiera gymnorhiza). Various extraction temperatures ranging from 45°C to 85°C were utilized. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in solubility (58.41% ± 2.45), total reducing sugar content (0.39% ± 0.09), yield (35.13 ± 2.95), and L* color value (71.97 ± 1.53), while no significant differences (p > 0.05) were found in a* and b* color values. These findings have implications for expanding the applications of Bruguiera and advancing research on Bruguiera glucomannan. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed an increase in the cross-linking density of glucomannan molecules.

Abstract

Kefir is widely recognized as a functional fermented dairy product. However, its physicochemical stability, particularly pH, acidity, and syneresis, remains a challenge during processing and storage. The addition of functional polysaccharides, such as mangrove-derived glucomannan, has been proposed to improve kefir quality. This study aimed to investigate the effect of mangrove-derived glucomannan on the physicochemical properties of kefir. A Completely Randomized Design with different concentrations of mangrove glucomannan (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% (v/v)) was applied, with four replications. The results showed that increasing glucomannan had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on total bacteria, pH, and titratable acidity. Mangrove-derived glucomannan significantly enhanced total bacterial counts in goat milk kefir (p < 0.05), increasing from 6.09 Log CFU/mL in the control to 7.45-7.80 Log CFU/mL at 2-8% concentrations. The treatments decreased pH from 3.66 (0%) to 3.35 (8%) (P < 0.05), while titratable acidity increased from 0.70% (0%) to 0.83-0.85% in the treatment groups (P < 0.05), confirming enhanced fermentation activity. Syneresis decreased at 2% glucomannan (0.93%) but increased slightly at higher concentrations, reaching 1.03% at 8% (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that glucomannan modulates kefir fermentation, as reflected in lower pH and higher acidity values.
