- Abstract
Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) generates a large amount of waste, which can be better used to obtain products with high added value through biotechnological processes. Thus, the present study aimed to obtain optimized conditions for the simultaneous production of phenolic acids, invertases and transferases enzymes in cupuassu residue with Aspergillus carbonarius. The main methodologies used to select the variables that influence the system were a Plackett–Burman design, followed by a Central Composite Rotational Design. The optimal conditions were use of 17.3% sucrose, 5.1% residue and 4.6% yeast extract to produce 2204.89 ± 5.75 mg GAE/100 g, 39.84 ± 2.08 U/mL of hydrolytic activity, 168.09 ± 3.81 U/mL of transfructosylation activity and 4.23 ± 0.19 of transfructosylation and hydrolytic activity ratio. Among the phenolic acids identified by the UFLC-DAD system, there was an increase of 148.17% in gallic acid and 205.51% in protocatechuic acid. The antioxidant activities also showed changes after fermentation, with an increase of 350% for the ABTS assay, 51.97% for FRAP, 22.65% for ORAC and 16.03% for DPPH. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that cupuassu residue is fermented with Aspergillus carbonarius to obtain invertases and transferases enzymes and phenolic acids.
