Abstract

Study’s Excerpt

  • This research presents the use of antimicrobial peptides derived from Pisum sativum (pea) seeds as natural preservatives for extending the shelf life of local African beverages.
  • It demonstrated that peptides, particularly from germinated peas on day four, exhibits strong antimicrobial activity against bacteria.
  • Plant-derived peptides could replace synthetic preservatives in the food and beverage industry.

Full Abstract

The demand for natural and effective food preservatives has increased due to the growing concern over the safety and quality of processed beverages.  Antimicrobial peptides have gained significant attention as natural alternatives to synthetic preservatives, offering potential benefits such as broad-spectrum activity and lower toxicity.  Germinating seeds of Pisum sativum were harvested on days 2, 4, 6 and 8 and peptides were extracted and purified using Ammonium Sulphate Precipitation at 70% saturation, Dialysis, Gel filtration and the peaks were obtained.  The molecular weight of peptides was determined using SDS-PAGE while Six (6) Bacteria and Four (4) Fungal species were isolated and characterized using standard procedures.  The highest protein concentration was obtained with germinated peas day four (P4) with a value of 1.7866mg/mL, while the highest zone diameter of inhibition was recorded with peptide of germinated pea seeds day six fraction three (P6:3) with a value of 17.000±0.577mm against B. cereus.  The least MIC value, expressed in protein concentration (mg/mL), was obtained as 0.0253mg/mL with 100% concentration of the peptide of germinated peas on day four (P4).  All four (4) fungal species recorded no activity/zone diameter of inhibition.  Sanitizing activity of the peptides on the ‘Zobo’ drink adjusted to pH 2.3, at 0hr, 24hr, 48hr and 72hrs was carried out, and all the purified peptides extended the shelf life of the drink except for peptide of germinated peas on day two.  Sensory evaluation equally indicated that the drink was preserved with 10% (P4:4) at pH 2.3, being the most preferred treatment by the judges with a percentage likeness of 72.22% after 72hrs of storage.  Findings from this study highlight the potential of these peptides in developing innovative and safe preservation techniques for extending the shelf life of local African beverages.  This study further offers promising insights into the application of Pisum sativum peptides in preserving traditional drinks like 'Zobo.'
