1. Introduction

Processed products obtained from blackberry have been commercially exploited, to the point that most of the blackberry produced in Colombia is purchased by com-panies, like Postobon®, Compañía Nacional de Chocola-tes®, Casa Luker®, Agrofood®, Pascol®, and Alpina® [1] . It is clear that at present, according to reports from the Colombian Ministry of Agriculture in its platform “www.siembra.gov.co” no research, development and in-novation work related to the agroindustrial exploitation of the blackberry is observed, especially in the Andean region, which has the highest production of this fruit [2].

Blackberry is a perishable product that can last in storage from 5 days in fresh state to 1 month in frozen state. This implies that there may be great loss due to the lack of existing technical capacity to preserve the organoleptic, microbiological, and nutritional characteristics of black-berry [3]. The Siembra platform by the Ministry of Agri-culture in the area of harvest, post-harvest, and trans-formation management for the blackberry chain shows a demand in bio-prospection to develop agroindustry and transform this type of product. Development of new products with high added value for national and inter-national markets is of interest for researches. Poor par-ticipation by national players is noted in the research on transformation alternatives for food, health, and industry compared to the participation by international players in this same chain. On this platform, it can be observed that contributions by national entities towards improving the agroindustrialization of the blackberry has been quite low. It can also be perceived that most efforts made in the chain have been in agricultural areas, like management of the production system, sanitary and phytosanitary management, and planting material and genetic improve-ment; the area of harvest management, postharvest and transformation would be fourth in importance according to the projects presented and the results published natio-nally [2].

Concern arises because blackberry producers and proces-sors are not being supplied with knowledge so that they can obtain processed products with greater added value and with immersed scientific knowledge to obtain better economic benefit without involving intermediaries, who earn the greatest financial profit of selling the product to specialized markets. This implies that it is necessary for regional research, development, and innovation par-ticipants to become more involved in the generation of knowledge and interaction with the productive sector to secure better products, techniques, and production pro-cesses of transformation and generation of added value in the blackberry chain.

Blackberry has excellent nutritional characteristics, pro-viding a substantial amount of water, carbohydrates, and fiber, but its most important contribution is in the con-tent of anthocyanins, given that this group of molecules has been reported as antioxidants for humans, generating much interest from the scientific point of view.One way to take advantage of these anthocyanins is to manufacture food products based on blackberries, high fruit content, and without the addition of water, caloric sweeteners and artificial preservatives to obtain foods that benefit the health of consumers; these foods are also called functional foods.

One of these products is fruit pulp, which is used as a base to prepare juices, nectars, compotes, ice cream, and pastries, among others. According to the Colombian te-chnical standard 5468 “juices, nectars, purées (pulps), and fruit concentrates” to produce fruit pulp, it is neces-sary to extract the liquid and edible part of the fruit by mechanical means and without the addition of water; ad-ditionally, all the solids of the pulp must be contributed by the fruit. Furthermore, resolution 333 of 2011 by the Ministry of Social Protection “by which the technical re-gulation is established on the requirements of labeling or nutritional labeling that must be met for food packaged for human consumption” approves and regulates the ad-dition of bioactive chemical compounds to fortify pulps, such as vitamins and minerals. There is no information related to the mass production of these products and, the-refore, no information is available on their deterioration kinetics.

Empirical mathematical models related to the kinetics of degradation of physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory properties are widely used in the food industry because an approximation can be made about the beha-vior of a given food matrix during its storage to establish the shelf-life of certain foods [4]. The storage tempera-ture control is another key variable to determine the ki-netics of deterioration of food, which is why the Arrhe-nius theoretical model allows a better approach towards understanding the degradation reactions that occur within a food system because it involves changes in storage temperature with the equilibrium constants of the reac-tions involved [5].

The main objective of this work was to model mathema-tically, by means of empirical equations, the degradation during its period of storage of a formulation of a food product derived from blackberry with functional charac-teristics and determine the shelf-life.

Materials and Methods

The blackberries were purchased at the wholesale supply center for fruits and vegetables in the city of Armenia, Quindío, Colombia in a state of maturation between 4 and 5, which were harvested in the population of Salento, Quindío.

The plant material was taken to the pilot plant in Univer-sity of Quindío, located in Armenia, Quindío, Colombia where these were washed, selected, blanched, and homo-genized in a conventional blender. The homogenate was passed through a 100-μm pore size mesh to remove large residues, then portioned into 200-g portions and frozen for later use [6].

Subsequently, the portions were thawed and pectinase enzyme was added to reduce their viscosity; Xanthan gums and carboxymethyl cellulose to stabilize the pulp; sodium citrate as acidity regulator; sucralose as a non-ca-loric sweetener; and calcium citrate and ascorbic acid as physiologically active components [7]. The percentages of each of the ingredients are reported in Table 1. There-after, the pulp obtained was subjected to pasteurization for 30 s at 80 °C to, then, perform the physicochemical and sensory analyses of its deterioration. This formula-tion was made based on the Colombian technical stan-dard 5468 “juices, nectars, purées (pulps), and fruit con-centrates” and Resolution 333 of 2011 by the Ministry of Social Protection “by which the technical regulation is established on the requirements of labeling or nutritional labeling that must be met for food packaged for human consumption”.

Evaluation of deterioration kinetics.

The functional pulp obtained was stored at three tempe-ratures (15, 25, and 35 °C) and at constant relative hu-midity of 80% for 20 days. Every three days, starting from day zero, the physicochemical characterization was carried out by analyzing the pH variables via the poten-tiometric method, using a glass electrode, according to the AOAC 981.12 method (AOAC 1980); viscosity was measured with a rotational viscometer (Selecta, refe-rence ST 2010) at room temperature; color was measu-red with a Minolta CR 10 spectrophotometer, with D65 illuminant and 10° standard observer; the ICD-L* a* b* coordinates were determined from the reflection spectra of the samples, where the luminance component (L *) varies between 0 and 100 and the a* component (green-red axis) and b* component (blue-yellow axis) can be be-tween +127 and -12 [8]; soluble solids were determined with a THERMO table refractometer, scale from 0 to 85 ºBrix, following the AOAC 932.12 method (AOAC 1980). Microbiological analysis was performed on the pulp by determining mesophilic and total coliform microorga-nisms. The mesophilic microorganism count was perfor-med by serial dilutions of fruit pulp up to 10-3 in peptone water and coliform counts were performed by using the most-probable number technique [9].

Prior to the physicochemical analyses, a sensory analysis was performed on samples stored at 25 °C. The samples were introduced at random and simultaneously during the storage period to the previously semi-drilled judges, who were 10 students from the Food Engineering Pro-gram at Universidad del Quindío and who had previous knowledge about sensory analysis. The descriptors of fla-Table I.

An analysis of variance was performed to determine the variable most affected during storage in order to model the deterioration ki-netics with a 95% confidence level [[10], [11]].

Results and Discussion

The final time of the analyses was determined by the appearance of mesophilic microorganisms, which for samples stored at 15 °C were detected at 21 days; for sam-ples stored at 25 °C, these were observed at 18 days; and for samples storage at 35 °C, the microorganisms and physicochemical analyses were not conducted and, therefore, the end point of the kinetics was taken the day before detecting the mesophilic microorganisms, obser-ving that at 15 °C the analyses were carried out until day 18; at 25 °C until day 15; and at 15 °C until day 10. Total aerobic microorganisms were not detected at any stage of kinetics.

Similar research on the shelf-life of canteloupe reported the occurrence of mesophilic microorganisms at 7 days of storage at room temperature [12]. Other researchers reported the occurrence of mesophilic microorganisms in carrot juice treated with ultrasound at 20 days of sto-rage [13].

Tables 2, 3, and 4 show the zero order and first order ki-netic equations for the physicochemical variables eva-luated at the three working temperatures. The equations were obtained by analyzing the product 20 days for sam-ples stored at 15 °C, 16 days for those stored at 25 °C, and 10 days for 35 °C. Completion times were determined when the product is totally degraded physicochemically and microbiologically.

It can be observed in the kinetic equations obtained and according to the results of the analysis of variance that the parameter most influenced during the storage is that of the a* chromatic axis, which in all the working tem-peratures and the kinetic models calculated obtained a p-value of 0.0000. This indicates statistical significance in its variability during the product’s storage time. Given that all the kinetic equations calculated for this variable have a positive slope, this indicates that the violet-purple color of the blackberries is lost and becomes increasingly red, which is reflected in the increase of the a* parameter with the weather. This variability was also detected in the sensory analysis performed because the kinetic equa-tion for the aroma descriptor also had a high significance (Table 7). This degradation is mainly due to the gradual decomposition that anthocyanins undergo due to thermal exposure, light of the medium, or pH changes [[14]-[16]]. In other works, mathematical models for the degradation of mango fruit have been proposed [6], where the authors propose nonlinear mathematical models to describe the behavior of mango during storage.

In terms of viscosity, it was observed that in spite of the stabilization process carried out on the blackberry pulp, the water tends to be strongly retained in the polysaccha-rides of the pulp matrix generating increased viscosity with increased time [[16]-[18]]. This indicates that the initial formulation has failed and that further studies may be needed to improve the stabilization of the product for the viscosity to remain constant over time.

Previous studies have reported kinetic empirical models to describe food degradation. For example, some authors proposed zero-order and first-order empirical kinetic equations to determine the shelf-life of bananas treated with soy lecithin [19]; other authors empirically modeled the physicochemical behavior of compotes based on va-rious fruits to know their useful life [20].

Table 5 presents the empirical equations of the Arrhenius model. It can be observed that the only variable that does not follow this model is a* because its slope is positive and, therefore, has a positive correlation coefficient. One of the main features of the Arrhenius model is that its slope must be negative given that the temperature inverse must always be inversely proportional to the logarithm of the equilibrium constant of the reaction. This could lead to the lack of color homogeneity of the pulps worked, which leads to not all the pulps having the same color at the time of the analysis and, therefore, their changes during storage could be different.

Table III. Kinetic equations of deterioration of blackberry pulp at 25 °C.

The other variables behaved close to the theoretical mo-del proposed by Arrhenius because their correlation co-efficients were close to -1, indicating an inverse linear variability between the temperature inverse and the lo-garithm of their equilibrium constants. Other authors have reported results of Arrhenius mathematical models applied to the degradation of food systems, like formula-tions for children [20], patulin in applesauce [21], acerola pulp [14], and orange juice [15].

Table 6 shows the coefficients of the empirical equations obtained by integrating the kinetic equations with those by Arrhenius (3). With these equations, the variability of each of the parameters analyzed can be mathematically related by linkinthe storage time and the storage tempe-rature to the desired quality factor of the product.

Knowing these two parameters can predict the behavior of each of the variables analyzed and can, therefore, be an approximation to determine the useful life of the pro-duct.

The correlation coefficients of each of the equations in Table 6 indicate that the only variable that does not fo-llow the


Table IV.Kinetic equations of deterioration of blackberry pulp at 35 °C

The correlation coefficients of each of the equations in Table 6 indicate that the only variable that does not fo-llow the proposed empirical model is the a* chromatic axis; this may be due to the fact that in the Arrhenius mo-del there was also no correlation between the variables of temperature and a* chromatic axis, and the u variable, although it has a negative correlation coefficient, its value is much less than -1, indicating a low linear correlation between temperature and time against the product’s vis-cosity. The other variables have correlation coefficients in agreement with the empirical model, which suggests that they could be used at some point to predict the shelf-li-fe times of the blackberry pulp at different temperatures and storage times.

The activation energies of the degradation reactions are reported in Table 6. High activation energy can be obser-ved for viscosity. This variable is directly related with the hydrolysis that can be encountered by the polysacchari-des of high molecular weight that are in the food matrix and that cause water retention. This high value indicates the low rate that this hydrolysis process has inside the pulp [9].

The high values of activation energy indicate a high as-sociation of the process indicated with temperature, that is to say, at very high values of activation energy, the re-action will be carried out much faster at high temperatu-res and, therefore, at low values of activation energy.

the reaction will take much slower at low temperatures. This is in close agreement with the fact that all fluids by increasing their temperature rapidly decrease their vis-cosity, causing a much faster change [14]. Other ac ti-vation energy values for the study of food degradation have been reported: Remini et al., [5] reported activation energies for global color degradation (ΔE) in orange pulp between 49 and 99 kJ/mol; Mercali et al., [14] reported values of 71.79 and 71.94 kJ/mol for the activation ener-gy of the degradation reaction of anthocyanins in acerola pulp. In turn, Palazón et al., [4] published activation ener-gy values in kJ/mol for the color degradation of an apple compote for a* at 13.5, b* at 15.6, and for L* at 16.4.

CThe correlation coefficients of each of the equations in Table 6 indicate that the only variable that does not fo-llow the proposed empirical model is the a* chromatic axis; this may be due to the fact that in the Arrhenius model there was also no correlation between the varia-bles of temperature and a* chromatic axis, and the u va-riable, although it has a negative correlation coefficient, its value is much less than -1, indicating a low linear co-rrelation between temperature and time against the pro-duct’s viscosity. The other variables have correlation co-efficients in agreement with the empirical model, which suggests that they could be used at some point to predict the shelf-life times of the blackberry pulp at different temperatures and storage times.

The activation energies of the degradation reactions are reported in Table 6. High activation energy can be obser-ved for viscosity. This variable is directly related with the hydrolysis that can be encountered by the polysacchari-des of high molecular weight that are in the food matrix and that cause water retention. This high value indicates the low rate that this hydrolysis process has inside the pulp [9].

The high values of activation energy indicate a high as-sociation of the process indicated with temperature, that is to say, at very high values of activation energy, the re-action will be carried out much faster at high temperatu-res and, therefore, at low values of activation energy the reaction will be carried out much faster at high tempera-tures and, therefore, at low values of activation energy the reaction will take much slower at low temperatures. This is in close agreement with the fact that all fluids by increasing their temperature rapidly decrease their viscosity, causing a much faster change [14].

Table VI.Integrated equation for the degradation kinetics of blackberry pulp.

Table 7 presents the kinetic equations for the descriptors used in the sensory analysis of blackberry pulp stored at 25 °C. The equations were obtained by performing the analyses to the final point of rejection of the appearance by the judges.

It can be observed that the variables of appearance, color, and taste follow zero-order kinetics, whereas aroma and texture are modeled with first-order kinetics. It can also be observed that the aroma variable has a correlation co-efficient far from -1, which indicates the low correlation between this variable and the storage time with which it can be confirmed that aroma is slightly affected du-ring storage and, therefore, it is not a variable to take into account to determine the shelf-life of the product. The variables of appearance and color are the most affected during storage, according to the sensory analysis, given that the analysis of variance shows a p value of 0.000, indicating a high significance of these parameters during storage.


Table VII.Kinetic equations of the sensory attributes of blackbe-rry pulp stored at 25 °C

Some authors have reported first-order kinetic empirical equations for sensory evaluation of color degradation in pasteurized strawberry juices for 30 days stored at 15 °C [22] and others have evaluated the shelf-life of pasteuri-zed orange juice by kinetic equations, reporting a pro-duct rejection time at 341 days stored at 25 °C [23].

Figure 1 shows the evaluations carried out by the judges throughout the storage period. For appearance, texture, and color, there is statistical difference between days 12 to 15, which is due to the viscosity and color changes detected in the physicochemical analyses, that is, the vis-cosity changes because increased water trapped by the pulp polysaccharides allowed an increase in the viscosity and, therefore, an immediate detection by part of the ju-dges in the sensory evaluation. For color, the perception of the judges goes hand in hand with the physicochemical analysis, reaffirming the degradation that anthocyanins suffer during storage by altering the a* chromatic axis and causing a change in the visual perception of the product.

For aroma, no significant differences were reported du-ring the whole evaluation; therefore, it is not a variable to be considered during storage. Color begins to change significantly from day 9 of storage; henceforth, the jud-ges did not assess satisfactorily the color of the samples. Taste and texture change significantly from day 12 of sto-rage at 25 °C.

The information provided by the sensory evaluation can be corroborated because it agrees with the results obtai-ned in the physicochemical analyses, which helps to de-termine the shelf-life times of the product.







Sensory behavior of blackberry pulp during storage.

Conclusion

The blackberry formulation was evaluated until the de-tection of mesophilic microorganisms, which were detec-ted on day 21 of storage at 15 °C, at day 18 at 25 °C, and at day 11 at 35 °C. The empirical kinetic equations for the variables L*, a*, b*, brix, pH, and viscosity were conside-red for each working temperature.

The parameters of the Arrhenius theoretical model were calculated for each variable and, in turn, these two equa-tions were integrated to obtain an integrated model that represents the degradation of the blackberry pulp by in-tegrating temperature and time within the process variables.

A sensory analysis was performed and the correlation with the physicochemical data obtained could be determined, given that the rejection times by the panelists were very close to those obtained in the physicochemical and microbiological tests.

It was possible to determine sensorily that the product was rejected on average for all descriptors at 12 days.

All the results of the sensory analysis agree faithfully with the results of the physicochemical analysis, corro borating and reaffirming the calculation of the shelf-life times determined in this work for the functional black-berry pulp.
