New compounds in table olive brines inhibit lactic acid bacteria. The dialdehydic form of decarboxymethyl elenolic acid linked to hydroxytyrosol showed the strongest antimicrobial activity, aiding olive fermentation control.

Area of Science:

  • Food Science
  • Microbiology
  • Organic Chemistry

Background:

  • Lactic acid fermentation is crucial for table olive production.
  • Identifying natural antimicrobial compounds in olive brines is key to controlling fermentation and ensuring quality.
  • Previous research has identified some inhibitory compounds, but a comprehensive understanding is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and identify novel inhibitors of lactic acid fermentation in table olive brines.
  • To characterize the chemical structures of these inhibitory compounds.
  • To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of identified compounds against key lactic acid bacteria.

Main Methods:

  • Aseptic olive brines from Manzanilla and Gordal varieties were analyzed.

  • High-performance liquid chromatography with UV and mass spectrometry detection was used for compound identification.
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was employed for structural characterization.

    • Main Results:

    • Several phenolic and oleosidic compounds were identified in the olive brines.
    • The dialdehydic form of decarboxymethyl elenolic acid linked to hydroxytyrosol exhibited the strongest antilactic acid bacteria activity.
    • Three newly discovered inhibitors, including the dialdehydic form of decarboxymethyl elenolic acid and an oleoside 11-methyl ester isomer, showed potent activity against Lactobacillus pentosus.

    Conclusions:

    • The identified compounds, particularly the dialdehydic form of decarboxymethyl elenolic acid linked to hydroxytyrosol, play a significant role in inhibiting lactic acid bacteria during table olive fermentation.
    • These novel inhibitors demonstrate superior antimicrobial potency compared to well-established compounds like oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol.
    • The discovery of these new inhibitors offers potential for improved control strategies in table olive processing.
