Abstract

Minimally processed products are highly convenient, and fresh-cut fruits coated with the synbiotic film have many advantages. This study investigated the film-forming components and preservation ability of Da Xanh pomelo and Thai jackfruit fresh-cut by synbiotic pectin film. The results showed that PA70 film combined with 1.5% FOS (fructooligosaccharides) had the highest number of viable cells of L. plantarum after 30 days of storage at 5 °C. The number of probiotic cells existing on fresh-cut products of Da Xanh pomelo and Thai jackfruit was always high (> 8 log CFU/g) and stable during 10 days of storage. In addition, jackfruit and pomelo fresh-cut preserved with probiotic film also showed probiotic activity in simulated stomach and small intestine medium with the number of probiotic cells (> 6 log CFU/g) and survival cell ratio after 4 h in small intestine medium reached 81.20 ± 0.92% (pomelo) and 82.16 ± 0.94% (Thai jackfruit).
