Abstract
Mulberry is a delicious and highly nutritious fruit. However, Mulberry's nutritional content can
change if processed into wine. This study aims to determine phenolic changes and antioxidant activity
of mulberry wine. Materials and Methods: Total anthocyanins (TAC), total phenolics (TPC), total
tannins (TTC) and total flavonoids (TFC) and antioxidant activity measured in mulberry wine during
alcoholic fermentation and aging. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Duncan range
test using Prism ™. Results: Overall, fermentation increases TPC, TTC, and TFC. TAC reaches a
maximum (911.73 mg LG1) on the first day of fermentation and reaches a minimum (158.80 mg
LG1) for 90 days (p <0.05). During the wine making process, the antioxidant capacity increases
during fermentation and decreases during aging. Conclusion: Mulberry wine has a higher TAC, TPC,
TTC, TFC and antioxidant activity and changes in TAC, TPC, TTC and TFC. In changes in
antioxidant activity during fermentation and aging, stability occurs.
Keywords: Mulberry, mulberry wine, aging, polyphenols, antioxidants
INTRODUCTION
Mulberry (Morus spp.) Is widespread throughout the world, it has a sweet taste and contains many
health benefits. Mulberry is widely processed into jams, pies, and liquor, because of the short
storage period. Besides the taste and benefits of mulberry fruit, Asian people like mulberry wine
because of its bioactive potential. Fermentation of mulberry fruit produces abundant phenolic
compounds.
The objective of this study was to determine the total changes in anthocyanins, total
phenolic, total tannins and total flavonoid contents during alcoholic fermentation and aging of
mulberry wine after their antioxidant activity. So that it can provide a better understanding of the
type and level of bioactive compounds and overall antioxidant activity in mulberry wine.
RESULTS
Bioactive components of mulberry grapes during fermentation: Total contents of anthocyanins
(TAC), phenolic (TPC), total tannins (TTC) and flavonoids (TFC) measured in mulberry wine for 4
days of fermentation of TAC from mulberry grape peaked on day 1 and remained slightly decreased
from days 2-4.
TPC increases were observed on each day of fermentation. Changes in TTC and TFC during
fermentation were similar to those observed for TPC. The maximum observed level is TPC, TTC and
TFC all on day 4.
Antioxidant activity of mulberry grapes during fermentation: DPPH, FRAP and RP levels in
mulberry wine were tested for 4 days of alcohol fermentation. Every activity increases in mulberry
wine during alcoholic fermentation, from day 0-4 and reaches its maximum value on day 4.
The bioactive components of mulberry grapes during the aging process: The total content of
anthocyanins (TAC), phenolic (TPC), tannins (TTC) and flavonoids (TFC) are measured in mulberry
wine for more than 90 days of aging. TAC, TPC, TTC, and TFC decrease during aging. TACs range
from 719.39-158.80 mg LG1, while TPC levels decrease from 2492.61-1936.52 mg LG1.
Antioxidant activity of mulberry grapes during aging: Antioxidant assays (DPPH, FRAP and RP)
were performed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of mulberry wine during aging. The changes in
antioxidant activities were consistent with the changes in the TAC, TPC, TTC and TFC in mulberry
wines, which decreased during aging.
DISCUSSION
Mulberry fruit is rich in phenolic compounds, anthocyanins and other flavonoid compounds. In this
study, the level of anthocyanins in mulberry grape increased from day 0-1 during fermentation, but
decreased from days 2-4, the rate of anthocyanin degradation was greater than the initial rate of
anthocyanin dissolution during day 120.
Changes in TPC and antioxidant capacity correlate
during the wine making process. In this study, the antioxidant activities and phenolics content
of mulberry wine continually increased during fermentation.
Anthocyanins have low stability and their degradation is influenced by pH, light, temperature
and oxygen. In this study, the total anthocyanin content decreased during aging of mulberry wine.
Because most phenolic substances are not sensitive to light, heat or oxygen, phenolic content
decreases more slowly during the aging period. The phenolic content of fruit extracts of mauritian
grapefruit correlates strongly with antioxidant activity as determined by the FRAP test.
