| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the application of thermosonication (TS) to improve the functional properties of roka (Eruca vesicaria subsp. sativia) water. Processing parameters, including time (8-16 min), amplitude (60-100%), and temperature (40-60 degrees C), were optimised using a comparative approach combining the response surface method (RSM) and support vector regression (SVR). The total phenolic content (TPC) increased to 86.04 mg GAE/100 mL with TS, representing an 8.1% rise compared to the control group and an 18.3% increase over pasteurization. Likewise, the total chlorophyll level reached 16.98 mmol TE/L from 9.67 g/100 mL, and beta-carotene rose to 24.90 mg/100 mL (p < 0.05). Pasteurization caused losses of 15-30% in these components. In the phenolic profile, significant increases were observed in chlorogenic acid (42.05 mu g/mL), caffeic acid (15.66 mu g/mL), and quercetin (4.28 mu g/mL). A total of 31 compounds were identified in aroma analysis; with TS treatment, levels of 3-Hexen-1-ol (15.70 mu g/kg) and 1-hexanol (2.01 mu g/kg) were preserved or increased. In in vitro digestion tests, the TS group demonstrated the highest bioavailability, even during the intestinal phase. For example, RSM demonstrated high compliance coefficients (R2 = 0.99), while SVR showed strong predictive performance (CV R2 = 0.84), particularly for FRAP. Overall, the results suggest that thermosonication is an innovative method for protecting and enhancing bioactive compounds in rocket juice. | |
