Description

Poudre d'acérola utile pour la substitution de l'acide ascorbique dans le domaine de Pagro-alimentaire.  Acerola powder useful for the substitution of ascorbic acid in the field of Pagro-food.
L'acérola (Malpighia punicifolia L., synonyme de Malpighia glabra L., ou encore Malpighia emarginata DC.) est un arbre dont le fruit est appelé cerise des Barbades ou cerise des Antilles car ressemblant beaucoup à la cerise. Acerola (Malpighia punicifolia L., synonym of Malpighia glabra L., or Malpighia emarginata DC.) Is a tree whose fruit is called Barbados cherry or Caribbean cherry because much like cherry.
Arbuste (ou arbrisseau) à feuillage persistant de la famille des Malpighiaceae, l'acérola pousse spontanément dans les régions tropicales d'Amérique du Sud, notamment au Pérou et dans les forêts amazoniennes du Brésil et du Venezuela. Il est aussi présent aux Antilles où il est appelé cerisier-pays. A shrub (or shrub) with evergreen foliage of the Malpighiaceae family, acerola grows spontaneously in the tropical regions of South America, particularly in Peru and in the Amazonian forests of Brazil and Venezuela. It is also present in the Antilles where it is called cherry-country.
Le fruit de l'acérola contient 20 à 30 fois plus de vitamine C que l'orange. Ceci en fait un des fruits les plus riches en vitamine C (1 000 mg à 2 000 mg/100 g), après le fruit du Terminalia ferdinandiana (50 fois plus riche que l'orange) et celui du Camu- Camu (Myrciaria dubia) (30 à 40 fois plus riche que l'orange). Il est également riche en vitamine B6, en vitamine Bl et en vitamine A ainsi qu'en flavonoïdes et en minéraux (fer, calcium, zinc, phosphore, potassium et magnésium). The fruit of acerola contains 20 to 30 times more vitamin C than orange. This makes it one of the richest fruits in vitamin C (1000 mg to 2000 mg / 100 g), after the fruit of Terminalia ferdinandiana (50 times richer than orange) and that of Camu-Camu (Myrciaria dubia). ) (30 to 40 times richer than orange). It is also rich in vitamin B6, vitamin B1 and vitamin A as well as flavonoids and minerals (iron, calcium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium).
La tendance pour le « naturel » est bien installée sur le marché des produits alimentaires, nutraceutiques et cosmétiques. La naturalité représente une des clés de succès des lancements commerciaux des produits apparus sur le marché ces dernières années, et ce d'autant plus dans un contexte où le consommateur perçoit désormais bien les risques encourus suite à l'ingestion de composés synthétiques et où les lois gouvernant le cadre d'utilisation des additifs alimentaires se durcissent, comme en témoigne par exemple le projet de révision de la liste des additifs autorisés mentionnés dans le règlement CE n° 1333/2008 du Parlement européen et du Conseil. Le caractère « Clean label » des biens de consommation est un élément décisif dans l'acte d'achat, et formuler des produits exempts de toute substance non connue de la ménagère est un lourd défi que les industriels des secteurs précédemment cités cherchent à relever. La conception de produits de consommation dits « naturels » suggère la mise en œuvre d'ingrédients également qualifiés de « naturels ». A ce titre, la substitution de la vitamine C (terme générique couvrant diverses formes notamment l'acide ascorbique, l'acide iso-ascorbique ou acide érythorbique, les sels d'ascorbate et d'érythorbate) est un défi qu'il convient de relever compte tenu de l'étendue de son spectre d'applications. Par exemple, le remplacement de l'érythorbate de sodium dans des produits de charcuterie tels que les produits injectés (jambon cuit...) ou les produits de type émulsion (saucisses à pâte fine) par un ingrédient naturel qui jouerait la même fonction antioxydante, si possible avec moins d'inconvénients, est une question soulevée par bon nombre d'industriels. The trend for "natural" is well established in the market for food products, nutraceuticals and cosmetics. Naturalness is one of the keys to successful commercial launches of products that have appeared on the market in recent years, and this is especially true in a context where the consumer now clearly perceives the risks incurred following the ingestion of synthetic compounds and where The laws governing the framework for the use of food additives are hardening, as evidenced, for example, by the draft revision of the list of authorized additives mentioned in Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The "Clean Label" character of consumer goods is a decisive element in the act of purchase, and formulating products free from any substance unknown to the housewife is a serious challenge that the industrialists of the aforementioned sectors seek to meet. The design of so-called "natural" consumer products suggests the use of ingredients that are also described as "natural". As such, the substitution of vitamin C (generic term covering various forms including ascorbic acid, iso-ascorbic acid or erythorbic acid, salts of ascorbate and erythorbate) is a challenge that should be to take into account the extent of its range of applications. For example, the replacement of sodium erythorbate in sausage products such as injected products (cooked ham ...) or emulsion-type products (fine sausages) by a natural ingredient that would play the same antioxidant function , if possible with less inconvenience, is an issue raised by many industrialists.
Il existe donc un besoin pour un antioxydant « naturel » en remplacement des différentes formes de la vitamine C. There is therefore a need for a "natural" antioxidant to replace the different forms of vitamin C.
Les inventeurs ont maintenant découvert qu'une poudre de jus concentré de fruit d'acérola contenant de l'hydroxyde de magnésium peut remplacer l'érythorbate dans des produits de charcuterie. The inventors have now discovered that a concentrated acerola fruit juice powder containing magnesium hydroxide can replace erythorbate in sausage products.
Or, cet antioxydant est naturel et dépourvu de maltodextrine. En outre, ce produit a pour avantages d'être sous forme d'une poudre facilement utilisable en formulation agro-alimentaire et de limiter l'acidification du produit. This antioxidant is natural and lacks maltodextrin. In addition, this product has the advantages of being in the form of a powder that can be easily used in agri-food formulation and to limit the acidification of the product.
Par conséquent, un premier objet de l'invention concerne une poudre constituée de 0,5 à 8 % en poids d'eau et d'une matière sèche constituée de 88 à 95 % en poids d'un extrait sec de fruit d'acérola et de 5 à 12 % en poids d'un hydroxyde ou carbonate de magnésium, calcium, zinc, sodium ou potassium. Therefore, a first subject of the invention relates to a powder consisting of 0.5 to 8% by weight of water and a dry matter consisting of 88 to 95% by weight of a dry extract of acerola fruit. and from 5 to 12% by weight of a magnesium hydroxide or carbonate, calcium, zinc, sodium or potassium.
De préférence, la matière sèche de la poudre de l'invention est constituée de 90 à 94 % en poids d'un extrait sec de fruit d'acérola et de 6 à 10 % en poids d'hydroxyde ou de carbonate de magnésium, calcium, zinc, sodium ou potassium. Preferably, the dry matter of the powder of the invention consists of 90 to 94% by weight of a dry extract of acerola fruit and 6 to 10% by weight of magnesium hydroxide or carbonate, calcium , zinc, sodium or potassium.
On entend par « extrait sec de fruit d'acérola » la matière sèche d'un produit issu du séchage d'un jus de fruit d'acérola, de préférence un jus concentré c'est-à-dire à 10 à 70° Brix, de préférence à 45 à 55° Brix. De préférence, ledit jus concentré présente une teneur en vitamine C de 3 à 24 , de préférence de 15 à 21 %. De préférence, ledit jus concentré présente une acidité de 800 à 2200 meq/kg, de préférence de 1200 à 1800 meq/kg. De préférence, ledit jus concentré présente un pH de 2,5 à 4, de préférence de 3 à 3,6. The term "dry extract of acerola fruit" means the dry matter of a product resulting from the drying of a fruit juice of acerola, preferably a concentrated juice that is to say at 10 to 70 ° Brix preferably at 45 to 55 ° Brix. Preferably, said concentrated juice has a vitamin C content of 3 to 24, preferably 15 to 21%. Preferably, said concentrated juice has an acidity of 800 to 2200 meq / kg, preferably 1200 to 1800 meq / kg. Preferably, said concentrated juice has a pH of 2.5 to 4, preferably 3 to 3.6.
La poudre de l'invention est caractérisée par sa forte teneur en vitamine C. De préférence, elle est de 30 à 40 % en poids de vitamine C par rapport au poids total de la poudre, de manière particulièrement préférée de 30 à 36 , en particulier 34 % +1-3 %, de préférence elle est de 34 % +1-2 % (l'analyse de la vitamine C est réalisée par HPLC en phase inverse sur une colonne Sphérisorb ODS2 ou équivalente, la procédure d'analyse étant décrite par la norme européenne NF EN 14130). La forte teneur en vitamine C de la poudre selon l'invention a une importance clé dans le domaine nutraceutique, puisqu'elle permet d'administrer la dose journalière recommandée dans une forme galénique de taille adéquate. En outre, dans le domaine de l'alimentaire (notamment en charcuterie), la poudre de l'invention, du fait de sa forte teneur en vitamine C, peut être utilisée à une dose suffisamment réduite pour limiter les effets secondaires négatifs liés à l'incorporation de fortes proportions d'acérola (tels que le goût et l'acidité de l'acérola), tout en apportant une dose de vitamine C satisfaisante dans un espace réduit (intérêt dans le cas où la poudre doit être utilisée dans une composition de différents constituants limitée en place). La poudre de l'invention présente des caractéristiques de pH sur une plage de 4 à 8. De préférence, la poudre de l'invention présente un pH de l'ordre de 4,5 à 6 (pH mesuré sur une solution à 10 % dans l'eau). La borne minimale de 4,5 correspond au pH en dessous duquel il est conseillé de ne pas descendre pour garantir une quantité suffisante de la forme basique du couple acide ascorbique/ascorbate et faciliter le séchage, même si à pH 4 à 4,5 la faisabilité du séchage est encore possible. La borne maximale de 6 correspond à un pH au-dessus duquel un faux goût de type « savon » non souhaitable peut se développer. Des pH de 6 à 8 peuvent cependant être utilisés si l'application finale permet de ne pas révéler les défauts organoleptiques pouvant être développés. De préférence, la poudre de l'invention comprend moins de 5 % en poids d'eau, de préférence de 1 à 3 %. Un autre objet de l'invention concerne un procédé de préparation de la poudre selon l'invention comprenant les étapes suivantes : The powder of the invention is characterized by its high content of vitamin C. Preferably, it is 30 to 40% by weight of vitamin C relative to the total weight of the powder, particularly preferably from 30 to 36, in especially 34% + 1-3%, preferably it is 34% + 1-2% (analysis of vitamin C is carried out by reverse phase HPLC on a Spherisorb ODS2 column or equivalent, the analysis procedure being described by the European standard NF EN 14130). The high vitamin C content of the powder according to the invention is of key importance in the nutraceutical field, since it makes it possible to administer the recommended daily dose in a galenic form of adequate size. In addition, in the field of food (especially sausage), the powder of the invention, because of its high content of vitamin C, can be used at a sufficiently small dose to limit the negative side effects related to incorporation of high proportions of acerola (such as the taste and acidity of acerola), while providing a satisfactory dose of vitamin C in a reduced space (interest in the case where the powder must be used in a composition different constituents limited in place). The powder of the invention has pH characteristics in a range from 4 to 8. Preferably, the powder of the invention has a pH of the order of 4.5 to 6 (pH measured on a 10% solution in water). The minimum limit of 4.5 corresponds to the pH below which it is advisable not to go down to guarantee a sufficient quantity of the basic ascorbic acid / ascorbate pair and to facilitate drying, even if at pH 4 to 4.5 feasibility of drying is still possible. The maximum limit of 6 corresponds to a pH above which an undesirable "soap" type false taste can develop. PH values of 6 to 8 can however be used if the final application makes it possible not to reveal the organoleptic defects that can be developed. Preferably, the powder of the invention comprises less than 5% by weight of water, preferably 1 to 3%. Another subject of the invention relates to a process for preparing the powder according to the invention comprising the following steps:
(i) mélange de jus de fruit d'acérola, d'hydroxyde ou de carbonate de magnésium, calcium, zinc, sodium ou potassium et d'eau, (ii) séchage jusqu'à une teneur en eau de moins de 8 % en poids, et(i) mixture of acerola fruit juice, magnesium hydroxide or magnesium carbonate, calcium, zinc, sodium or potassium and water, (ii) drying to a moisture content of less than 8% by weight, and
(iii) tamisage. (iii) sieving.
La poudre de l'invention est obtenue par mélange de jus de fruit d'acérola, de préférence concentré, d'hydroxyde ou de carbonate de magnésium, calcium, zinc, sodium ou potassium et d'eau dans des proportions choisies afin de permettre un séchage efficace tout en maximisant la teneur en vitamine C. The powder of the invention is obtained by mixing acerola fruit juice, preferably concentrated, magnesium hydroxide or carbonate, calcium, zinc, sodium or potassium and water in proportions chosen to allow a efficient drying while maximizing vitamin C content.
L'extrait sec de fruit d'acérola est ainsi présent dans la poudre de l'invention à raison de 88 à 95 % en poids du poids sec du mélange. L'hydroxyde ou le carbonate de magnésium, calcium, zinc, sodium ou potassium est présent dans le mélange jus de fruit d'acérola/hydroxyde ou carbonate/eau à raison de 5 à 12 % en poids du poids sec du mélange. The dry extract of acerola fruit is thus present in the powder of the invention in a proportion of 88 to 95% by weight of the dry weight of the mixture. The hydroxide or carbonate of magnesium, calcium, zinc, sodium or potassium is present in the mixture of acerola fruit juice / hydroxide or carbonate / water at a rate of 5 to 12% by weight of the dry weight of the mixture.
Cette quantité peut également être définie en fonction du pH. Elle permet d'atteindre un pH du mélange jus de fruit d'acérola/hydroxyde ou carbonate /eau avant séchage de préférence entre 4,5 et 5. This amount can also be defined according to the pH. It makes it possible to reach a pH of the mixture of acerola fruit juice / hydroxide or carbonate / water before drying, preferably between 4.5 and 5.
Comme le montre la Figure 2, des taux d'hydroxyde ou de carbonate de magnésium, calcium, zinc, sodium ou potassium inférieurs à 5 % entraînent une perte d'efficacité de séchage et de rendement. De même, des taux d'hydroxyde ou de carbonate de magnésium, calcium, zinc, sodium ou potassium supérieurs à 12 % entraînent l'apparition d'un goût de « savon » inapproprié pour une utilisation en agroalimentaire, ainsi qu'une diminution de la teneur en vitamine C du fait de la diminution de la proportion de l'extrait sec de fruit d'acérola. As shown in Figure 2, magnesium, calcium, zinc, sodium or potassium hydroxide or carbonate levels of less than 5% result in a loss of drying efficiency and yield. Likewise, levels of hydroxide or carbonate of magnesium, calcium, zinc, sodium or potassium greater than 12% lead to the appearance of a taste of "soap" inappropriate for use in agribusiness, as well as a decrease in the vitamin C content due to the decrease in the proportion of dry extract of acerola fruit.
La quantité d'eau du mélange jus de fruit d'acérola/hydroxyde ou carbonate /eau est ajustée de sorte à obtenir un mélange à 20 à 35° Brix, de préférence à 30° Brix. Ce mélange est ensuite séché, de préférence par atomisation ou séchage sous vide ou tout autre moyen permettant de garantir l'obtention d'un produit entièrement soluble. Certains procédés classiquement utilisés dans le cadre de la fabrication de produits secs, tels que la lyophilisation par exemple, sont susceptibles de donner lieu à des poudres à l'aspect granuleux ou hétérogène associées à la génération de troubles ou d'insolubles après dissolution. Ceci est démontré dans l'exemple 1. L'obtention d'une poudre particulièrement soluble permet une meilleure libération de la vitamine C et des autres constituants actifs du fruit d'acérola et donc une meilleure efficacité en application, ce qui élargira le spectre d'applications de la poudre à de nombreux aliments ou compositions alimentaires. Au contraire, l'obtention d'une poudre ayant une solubilité moindre a des conséquences sur les possibilités d'application de cette poudre, qui ne pourra pas être incorporée dans certains produits de manière homogène ou sans en modifier la texture. The amount of water of the acerola / hydroxide or carbonate / water mixture is adjusted to obtain a mixture at 20 to 35 ° Brix, preferably at 30 ° Brix. This mixture is then dried, preferably by spray drying or vacuum drying or any other means to ensure obtaining a fully soluble product. Some methods conventionally used in the manufacture of dry products, such as freeze-drying, for example, are likely to give rise to granular or heterogeneous powders associated with the generation of disorders or insoluble after dissolution. This is demonstrated in Example 1. The obtaining of a particularly soluble powder allows a better release of vitamin C and the other active constituents of acerola fruit and therefore a better effectiveness in application, which will widen the spectrum of applications of the powder to many foods or food compositions. On the contrary, the obtaining of a powder having a lower solubility has consequences on the possibilities of application of this powder, which can not be incorporated into some products homogeneously or without modifying the texture.
La poudre obtenue est ensuite tamisée, conditionnée et stockée. Un jus concentré de fruit d'acérola (Malpighia punicifolia L. ou Malpighia glabra L. ou Malpighia emarginata DC.) est habituellement utilisé comme matière première pour concevoir la poudre de l'invention. Cependant, le procédé mis en œuvre pour l'obtention de la poudre de l'invention peut aussi inclure l'étape de fabrication du jus concentré de fruit d'acérola, par broyage et pressage des fruits d'acérola puis concentration du jus ainsi extrait selon des méthodes classiques d'obtention de jus concentrés végétaux, pouvant notamment inclure des étapes telles que la cuisson, la pasteurisation, la décantation, la centrifugation, la filtration et l'ultrafïltration, l'enzymage, la fermentation etc. Ces étapes, en particulier les étapes d'enzymage et de fermentation, peuvent permettre d'améliorer les propriétés de la poudre selon l'invention telles que le profil sensoriel ou la teneur en vitamine C. Dans un mode de réalisation optimal du procédé, la matière première utilisée est un jus concentré clarifié de fruit d'acérola à environ 45 à 55° Brix, de préférence à 50° Brix qui présente une teneur en vitamine C de 17 % environ (15 à 21 % plus largement), une acidité de 1200 à 1800 meq/kg et un pH de 3,5 environ (3 à 3,6 plus largement). Le jus de fruit d'acérola éventuellement concentré est stocké sous forme congelée de sorte à limiter la perte en vitamine C. The powder obtained is then sieved, packaged and stored. A concentrated juice of acerola fruit (Malpighia punicifolia L. or Malpighia glabra L. or Malpighia emarginata DC.) Is usually used as a raw material to design the powder of the invention. However, the process used to obtain the powder of the invention may also include the step of manufacturing the concentrated juice of acerola fruit by grinding and pressing the acerola fruit and then concentrating the juice thus extracted. according to conventional methods for obtaining concentrated vegetable juices, which may include such steps as cooking, pasteurization, decantation, centrifugation, filtration and ultrafiltration, enzymage, fermentation etc. These steps, in particular the enzyming and fermentation steps, may make it possible to improve the properties of the powder according to the invention such as the sensory profile or the vitamin C content. In an optimal embodiment of the process, the raw material used is a clarified concentrated juice of acerola fruit at about 45 to 55 ° Brix, preferably at 50 ° Brix which has a vitamin C content of about 17% (15 to 21% more widely), an acidity of 1200 to 1800 meq / kg and a pH of about 3.5 (3 to 3.6 more widely). The optionally concentrated Acerola fruit juice is stored in frozen form so as to limit the loss of vitamin C.
Les inventeurs ont découvert de manière avantageuse que la poudre selon l'invention est une alternative naturelle à l'acide ascorbique et à l'érythorbate. Tout en apportant une dose efficace et naturelle en vitamine C, la poudre selon l'invention présente des caractéristiques physico-chimiques (pH, solubilité...) et sensorielles (couleur, goût, acidité...), particulièrement adaptées aux applications agroalimentaires, notamment dans les produits carnés transformés. Les exemples 2 et 3 illustrent l'avantage de la poudre de l'invention par rapport à l'acide ascorbique, aussi bien in vitro qu'en application. The inventors have advantageously found that the powder according to the invention is a natural alternative to ascorbic acid and erythorbate. While providing an effective and natural dose of vitamin C, the powder according to the invention has physico-chemical characteristics (pH, solubility, etc.) and sensory characteristics (color, taste, acidity, etc.), which are particularly suitable for agrifood applications. , especially in processed meat products. Examples 2 and 3 illustrate the advantage of the powder of the invention over ascorbic acid, both in vitro and in application.
Un autre objet de l'invention concerne un additif ou un ingrédient alimentaire comprenant une poudre selon l'invention. Another subject of the invention relates to an additive or a food ingredient comprising a powder according to the invention.
De préférence, l'additif ou l'ingrédient alimentaire de l'invention est destiné aux produits de charcuterie. Le produit de l'invention est destiné à toute application contenant habituellement de l'acide ascorbique ou ses dérivés à des fins de protection des aliments (fonction antioxydante, stabilisation de la couleur...). Par exemple, il est utile dans le remplacement des sels d'érythorbate couramment employés dans les produits de charcuterie (intervient dans la formation de la couleur rose typique de telles applications comme le jambon cuit, les saucisses...). Preferably, the additive or the food ingredient of the invention is intended for sausage products. The product of the invention is intended for any application usually containing ascorbic acid or its derivatives for food protection purposes (antioxidant function, color stabilization ...). For example, it is useful in the replacement of erythorbate salts commonly used in deli products (involved in the formation of the pink color typical of such applications as cooked ham, sausages ...).
Il est prouvé que le taux de nitrites résiduels en application charcuterie est minimisé en présence d'érythorbate ou ses dérivés et de toute forme qui en serait un vecteur. La présence de fortes teneurs en nitrites pose un problème de santé publique qui est celui de la génération in vivo de nitrosamines et du risque de cancers qui leur est attribué. La poudre de l'invention permet également de participer à une réduction de la formation de nitrosamines endogènes. En effet, l'effet cumulé de la vitamine C et des autres nutriments présents dans la poudre de l'invention (notamment les polyphénols) participe à réduire la teneur en nitrites résiduels dans les charcuteries et ainsi limiter la formation de nitrosamines in vivo. Le produit de l'invention peut aussi être utilisé comme agent de traitement de la farine (fonction antioxydante, effet sur la qualité du pain comme le volume, la texture de la mie, l'aspect de la croûte...) et en remplacement d'acide ascorbique et de ses dérivés dans des applications telles que les boissons (jus de fruits, nectars, boissons aromatisées non carbonatées...), les produits de boulangerie (pain, brioches, viennoiseries...), les produits céréaliers, les soupes, les sauces, les snacks, les plats préparés, les produits transformés à base de fruits (compotes, confitures...)... Généralement ces produits emploient des doses de vitamine C variant de 50 à 500 ppm, même si des doses plus faibles ou plus élevées peuvent être utiles selon l'application visée (0 - 1500 ppm). Par exemple, le produit a été testé avec succès dans des matrices carnées (jambon cuit de porc, viande de porc hachée, saucisses de type knack) à des concentrations variant de 170 à 510 ppm équivalent acide ascorbique, dans des matrices de type brioche à des doses de 50 et 150 ppm équivalent acide ascorbique, dans des jus de fruits, des compotes de fruits et des fruits sur sucre à hauteur de 200 et 750 ppm équivalent acide ascorbique. Dans toutes ces applications la faisabilité de substitution de l'acide ascorbique ou de ses dérivés par la poudre d'acérola a été validée, et l'ajout du produit de l'invention a même été associé au développement de bénéfices secondaires (effet sur le goût, la texture, l'aspect...). Par exemple, la substitution de l'acide ascorbique ou de ses dérivés par la poudre d'acérola permet de renforcer le goût fruité des jus de fruits, de développer une couleur de jambon caractéristique et préférée à un contrôle avec érythorbate de sodium, de maintenir dans le temps la texture moelleuse d'une brioche... Ces effets peuvent être expliqués par le fait que la poudre de l'invention apporte non seulement de la vitamine C mais également d'autres composés actifs, tels que des caroténoïdes, des polyphénols et des acides organiques (notamment l'acide malique), jouant un rôle en matrice, seuls ou de manière synergique avec la vitamine C. It has been proved that the level of residual nitrites in the sausage application is minimized in the presence of erythorbate or its derivatives and any form that would be a vector. The presence of high levels of nitrite poses a public health problem which is that of the in vivo generation of nitrosamines and the risk of cancer attributed to them. The powder of the invention also makes it possible to participate in a reduction in the formation of endogenous nitrosamines. Indeed, the cumulative effect of vitamin C and other nutrients present in the powder of the invention (especially polyphenols) helps to reduce the residual nitrite content in sausages and thus limit the formation of nitrosamines in vivo. The product of the invention can also be used as a treatment agent for the flour (antioxidant function, effect on the quality of the bread such as the volume, the texture of the crumb, the appearance of the crust ...) and in replacement ascorbic acid and its derivatives in applications such as beverages (fruit juices, nectars, non-carbonated flavored beverages ...), bakery products (bread, buns, pastries ...), cereal products, soups, sauces, snacks, prepared meals, processed fruit products (compotes, jams ...) ... Generally these products use vitamin C doses ranging from 50 to 500 ppm, even if lower or higher doses may be useful depending on the intended application (0-1500 ppm). For example, the product has been successfully tested in meat matrices (cooked pork ham, minced pork, knack sausages) at concentrations ranging from 170 to 510 ppm ascorbic acid equivalent, in brioche-type dies. doses of 50 and 150 ppm ascorbic acid equivalent, in fruit juices, fruit compotes and fruits on sugar up to 200 and 750 ppm ascorbic acid equivalent. In all these applications the feasibility of substituting ascorbic acid or its derivatives with acerola powder has been validated, and the addition of the product of the invention has even been associated with the development of secondary benefits (effect on the taste, texture, appearance ...). For example, the substitution of ascorbic acid or its derivatives by acerola powder can enhance the fruity taste of fruit juices, develop a characteristic ham color and preferred to control with sodium erythorbate, to maintain in time the soft texture of a brioche ... These effects can be explained by the fact that the powder of the invention provides not only vitamin C but also other active compounds, such as carotenoids, polyphenols and organic acids (especially malic acid), playing a matrix role, alone or synergistically with vitamin C.
Un autre objet de l'invention concerne un aliment ou composition alimentaire comprenant une poudre selon l'invention ou un additif ou un ingrédient alimentaire selon l'invention. De préférence, cet aliment ou composition alimentaire est une boisson, un produit de boulangerie, un produit céréalier, une soupe, une sauce, un snack, un plat préparé, un produit transformé à base de fruits ou un produit de charcuterie. Another subject of the invention relates to a food or food composition comprising a powder according to the invention or an additive or a food ingredient according to the invention. Preferably, this food or food composition is a beverage, a bakery product, a cereal product, a soup, a sauce, a snack, a prepared dish, a processed fruit product or a deli product.
Un autre objet de l'invention concerne l'utilisation d'une poudre selon l'invention pour remplacer l'acide ascorbique et/ou ses dérivés dans les produits alimentaires. Par exemple, la poudre de l'invention peut être utilisée pour remplacer l'érythorbate dans des produits de charcuterie. Another subject of the invention relates to the use of a powder according to the invention for replacing ascorbic acid and / or its derivatives in food products. For example, the powder of the invention can be used to replace erythorbate in meat products.
En effet, le produit de l'invention est particulièrement adapté aux applications neutres du fait de son pH acide à neutre. Cette propriété permet de limiter les modifications de texture. Indeed, the product of the invention is particularly suitable for neutral applications because of its acidic pH to neutral. This property allows you to limit texture changes.

Exemples Examples
Exemple 1 - Production et propriétés de solubilisation d'une poudre selon l'invention EXAMPLE 1 Production and Solubilization Properties of a Powder According to the Invention
i. Production d'une poudre selon l'invention Compte tenu des caractéristiques du jus concentré de fruit d'acérola mis en œuvre (50° Brix, 17 % de vitamine C), le pH du mélange a pu être stabilisé à 4,5 avec 92 % de jus concentré de fruit d'acérola et 8 % d'hydroxyde de magnésium (pourcentages exprimés sur matière sèche). La quantité d'eau à ajouter a ensuite été calculée de sorte à obtenir un degré Brix du mélange jus concentré de fruit d'acérola/ hydroxyde de magnésium/eau de 30° Brix. i. Production of a powder according to the invention Given the characteristics of the concentrated fruit juice of Acerola (50 ° Brix, 17% of vitamin C), the pH of the mixture could be stabilized at 4.5 with 92% concentrated juice of acerola fruit and 8% magnesium hydroxide (percentages expressed on the dry matter). The amount of water to be added was then calculated so as to obtain a Brix degree of the concentrated fruit juice mixture of acérola / magnesium hydroxide / water of 30 ° Brix.
La formulation suivante a par conséquent été réalisée selon la méthode ci-dessous : The following formulation was therefore performed according to the method below:
Les matières ont été mélangées en cuve et le mélange a été séché par atomisation (température d'entrée à 160°C, température de sortie à 86-88°C). La poudre a été tamisée à 650 μιη et conditionnée en sacs aluminium. The materials were tank mixed and the mixture was spray-dried (inlet temperature 160 ° C, outlet temperature 86-88 ° C). The powder was sieved at 650 μιη and packaged in aluminum bags.
Le rendement obtenu s'élève à 73,5 % et la productivité est de l'ordre de 84 kg/h. The yield obtained is 73.5% and the productivity is of the order of 84 kg / h.
La poudre se caractérise par une teneur en vitamine C de 36,7 % en poids du poids total de la poudre, stable au cours du temps comme démontré par le test de vieillissement initié sur la poudre (voir Figure 1). The powder is characterized by a vitamin C content of 36.7% by weight of the total weight of the powder, stable over time as demonstrated by the aging test initiated on the powder (see Figure 1).
Le produit présente une excellente solubilité (absence de culot visible à l'œil nu après dissolution de la poudre à 10 % en poids du poids total de la poudre dans l'eau puis centrifugation à 10000 g pendant 10 minutes) et la solution obtenue est claire et limpide. ii. Effet de la teneur en hydroxyde de magnésium dans la poudre de l'invention The product has excellent solubility (absence of pellet visible to the naked eye after dissolution of the powder at 10% by weight of the total weight of the powder in water and then centrifugation at 10 000 g for 10 minutes) and the solution obtained is clear and limpid. ii. Effect of magnesium hydroxide content in the powder of the invention
Afin d'illustrer l'importance de la teneur en hydroxyde de magnésium dans la poudre de l'invention, des essais de séchage par atomisation ont été effectués avec différents taux de Mg(OH)2 (essais au stade pilote ici). In order to illustrate the importance of the magnesium hydroxide content in the powder of the invention, spray drying tests were carried out with different levels of Mg (OH) 2 (pilot stage tests here).
Comme le prouve le graphique de la Figure 2, le rendement d'obtention de la poudre de l'invention diminue avec la réduction des doses d'hydroxyde de magnésium, pour atteindre des valeurs inférieures à 65 % (rendement médiocre) à une teneur de 5 % en poids d'hydroxyde de magnésium (teneur exprimée sur la matière sèche de la poudre de l'invention). As shown in the graph of Figure 2, the yield of obtaining the powder of the invention decreases with the reduction of doses of magnesium hydroxide, to reach values of less than 65% (poor yield) at a content of 5% by weight of magnesium hydroxide (content expressed on the dry matter of the powder of the invention).
iii. Propriétés de solubilisation d'une poudre de l'invention iii. Properties for solubilizing a powder of the invention
Afin de démontrer la solubilité moindre d'une poudre d'acérola lyophilisée, des tests de solubilisation de la poudre atomisée de l'invention, comparativement à une poudre lyophilisée, ont été effectués. Les résultats sont présentés ci-après dans le Tableau 1. In order to demonstrate the lower solubility of a lyophilized acerola powder, solubilization tests of the atomized powder of the invention, compared to a freeze-dried powder, were carried out. The results are presented below in Table 1.
Tableau 1 : Tests de solubilisation de poudres d'acérola obtenues selon deux procédés de séchage différents (atomisation pour la poudre de l'invention et lyophilisation). Table 1: Solubilization tests of acerola powders obtained according to two different drying processes (atomization for the powder of the invention and lyophilization).
Ces tests démontrent bien la moindre solubilité de la poudre lyophilisée (quantification des matières insolubles enregistrées dans le Tableau 1). Environ trois fois plus de composés insolubles sont générés à partir d'une solution à 10 % de poudre lyophilisée. Par ailleurs, l'apparition d'un culot visible à l'œil nu est constatée dans le cas du test réalisé avec la poudre lyophilisée, ce qui n'est pas le cas pour le test réalisé avec la poudre de l'invention. These tests demonstrate the lower solubility of the freeze-dried powder (quantification of the insoluble materials recorded in Table 1). About three times more insoluble compounds are generated from a 10% solution of lyophilized powder. Moreover, the appearance of a pellet visible to the naked eye is found in the case of the test carried out with the lyophilized powder, which is not the case for the test carried out with the powder of the invention.
Ce critère peut être un frein à l'utilisation du produit dans des produits clairs et limpides (exemple des boissons). Par ailleurs, il peut être supposé que dans une poudre lyophilisée caractérisée par de nombreuses particules insolubles après mise en solution, la vitamine C soit moins disponible et soit moins efficace pour les effets qui peuvent lui être attribués (rôle antioxydant, stabilisant...). Le spectre d'utilisation de la poudre de l'invention (obtenue par atomisation) n'est en revanche pas soumis à cette contrainte. This criterion can be a brake on the use of the product in clear and limpid products (eg beverages). Furthermore, it can be assumed that in a freeze-dried powder characterized by numerous insoluble particles after dissolution, vitamin C is less available and is less effective for the effects that can be attributed to it (antioxidant role, stabilizer ...) . The spectrum of use of the powder of the invention (obtained by atomization) is however not subject to this constraint.
Exemple 2 - Potentiel antioxydant de la poudre de l'Exemple 1 versus acide ascorbique EXAMPLE 2 Antioxidant Potency of the Powder of Example 1 Versus Ascorbic Acid
Des tests réalisés in vitro permettent d'illustrer les propriétés de la poudre de l'invention par rapport au simple effet de l'acide ascorbique. Le tableau ci-dessous démontre que la poudre de l'Exemple 1, par comparaison à l'acide ascorbique, exerce une activité antiradicalaire et antioxydante supérieure à celle exercée par des concentrations équivalentes en acide ascorbique. In vitro tests make it possible to illustrate the properties of the powder of the invention with respect to the simple effect of ascorbic acid. The table below demonstrates that the powder of Example 1, compared to ascorbic acid, exerts an antiradical and antioxidant activity greater than that exerted by equivalent concentrations of ascorbic acid.

i. Alternative naturelle à l'érythorbate de sodium utilisé dans les produits de charcuterie i. Natural alternative to sodium erythorbate used in deli products
La poudre de l'Exemple 1 a été testée dans une matrice jambon de porc cuit (modèle de produit « injecté »). Elle a été diluée dans la saumure destinée à être injectée dans le produit de charcuterie de sorte à atteindre une concentration finale dans le produit fini de 425 ppm de vitamine C. Un témoin réalisé dans les mêmes conditions mais comprenant de l'érythorbate de sodium incorporé de sorte à atteindre des concentrations équivalentes d'érythorbate a également été utilisé comme produit de comparaison. Le jambon a été conditionné sous vide après avoir été tranché, puis stocké à 4°C jusqu'à 12 semaines. Le tableau ci-dessous résume les caractéristiques des produits obtenus avec l'érythorbate de sodium et avec la poudre de l'Exemple 1, respectivement. The powder of Example 1 was tested in a cooked ham ham matrix ("injected" product model). It was diluted in the brine to be injected into the sausage product so as to reach a final concentration in the finished product of 425 ppm of vitamin C. A control made under the same conditions but including sodium erythorbate incorporated so as to achieve equivalent concentrations of erythorbate was also used as a comparator. The ham was vacuum packed after being sliced and stored at 4 ° C for up to 12 weeks. The table below summarizes the characteristics of the products obtained with sodium erythorbate and with the powder of Example 1, respectively.

Les essais réalisés démontrent la possibilité de remplacer l'érythorbate de sodium par le produit de l'invention, les jambons ainsi obtenus étant aussi appréciés voire plus appréciés que le témoin. Par ailleurs, le fait de substituer l'additif traditionnellement utilisé par la poudre de l'invention d'origine naturelle n'engendre pas d'impact sur le rendement ni sur la qualité microbiologique du produit. The tests carried out demonstrate the possibility of replacing the sodium erythorbate with the product of the invention, the hams thus obtained being as appreciated or even more appreciated than the control. Furthermore, substituting the additive conventionally used by the powder of the invention of natural origin does not have an impact on the yield or on the microbiological quality of the product.
Des essais similaires de substitution d'érythorbate de sodium par la poudre de l'Exemple 1 à des dosages permettant d'atteindre 300 ppm d'érythorbate ou de vitamine C dans le produit fini ont aussi été effectués dans des saucisses de type knack (modèle de produit à pâte fine de type « émulsion »). Les résultats sont tout aussi satisfaisants, telles que le démontrent les analyses de texture, les analyses microbiologiques, les analyses du niveau d'oxydation et l'évaluation sensorielle réalisées tout au long de la vie du produit (stockage à 4°C pendant 3 semaines). Des bénéfices peuvent à nouveau être observés en présence de la poudre de l'invention par rapport au témoin. Notamment, le produit de l'invention a la capacité à limiter la perte d'intensité organoleptique observée au cours du stockage dans le cas du témoin contenant l'érythorbate de sodium. ii. Alternative naturelle à l'acide ascorbique utilisé dans les produits de boulangerie Similar tests for substitution of sodium erythorbate with the powder of Example 1 at dosages of 300 ppm of erythorbate or vitamin C in the finished product were also carried out in knack sausages (model thin-film product of the "emulsion" type). The results are equally satisfactory, as demonstrated by the texture analyzes, the microbiological analyzes, the oxidation level analyzes and the sensory evaluation carried out throughout the life of the product (storage at 4 ° C for 3 weeks ). Benefits can again be observed in the presence of the powder of the invention compared to the control. In particular, the product of the invention has the capacity to limit the loss of organoleptic intensity observed during storage in the case of the control containing sodium erythorbate. ii. Natural alternative to ascorbic acid used in bakery products
La poudre de l'Exemple 1 a aussi été incorporée dans d'autres types d'applications, notamment des produits de boulangerie de type brioches à des concentrations permettant d'atteindre 50 ou 150 ppm de vitamine C dans le produit fini. La faisabilité de substitution de l'acide ascorbique introduit aux mêmes dosages est à nouveau démontrée. La poudre de l'invention présente même des avantages par comparaison au témoin avec acide ascorbique, ralentissant l'apparition de faux goûts pouvant se développer au cours du stockage à température ambiante, comme le démontre la Figure 3. The powder of Example 1 has also been incorporated in other types of applications, including bakery type bakery products at concentrations that achieve 50 or 150 ppm of vitamin C in the finished product. The feasibility of substitution of ascorbic acid introduced at the same dosages is again demonstrated. The powder of the invention has even advantages compared to the control with ascorbic acid, slowing the appearance of false flavors that can develop during storage at room temperature, as shown in Figure 3.
Exemple 4 - Effet du produit de l'invention sur la réduction du taux de nitrites résiduels en application charcuterie La poudre de l'invention a été incorporée à une formulation à base de viande de porc hachée à des concentrations permettant d'atteindre 170 ppm et 510 ppm de vitamine C (soit à des concentrations de 0,05 % et de 0,15 % en poids de poudre rapporté au poids de la préparation de viande fraîche, respectivement). Les préparations ont été conditionnées sous vide sous forme de portions de 80 g de type « steaks hachés », cuites et stockées à 4°C jusqu'à 4 semaines. Le taux de nitrites présent dans les préparations de viande a été analysé régulièrement au cours du stockage. Le graphique de la Figure 4 présente les résultats obtenus au terme des 4 semaines de stockage. EXAMPLE 4 Effect of the Product of the Invention on the Reduction of Residual Nitrite Levels in Meat Products The powder of the invention was incorporated into a formulation of minced pork at concentrations reaching 170 ppm and 510 ppm of vitamin C (at concentrations of 0.05% and 0.15% by weight of powder based on the weight of the fresh meat preparation, respectively). The preparations were vacuum packed in the form of 80 g portions of the "minced steak" type, cooked and stored at 4 ° C for up to 4 weeks. The level of nitrites present in meat preparations was analyzed regularly during storage. The graph in Figure 4 shows the results obtained after 4 weeks of storage.
Les essais réalisés démontrent la relation linéaire entre le pourcentage de réduction du taux de nitrites résiduels et la quantité de poudre de l'invention incorporée à la matrice. Or, un moindre taux de nitrites résiduels est associé à un niveau moindre de formation de nitrosamines in vivo et donc à un risque moins élevé de développement de cancers du système digestif. The tests carried out demonstrate the linear relationship between the percentage reduction in the level of residual nitrite and the amount of powder of the invention incorporated into the matrix. However, a lower level of residual nitrite is associated with a lower level of formation of nitrosamines in vivo and therefore a lower risk of developing cancers of the digestive system.
