Abstract

Abstract: The effects of Trichoderma viride fermentation treatment on the structural characteristics and in vitro binding capacity of three heavy metal ions (Pb, Cd, Cu) of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) from tea residues were investigated. Compared with the yield of SDF from untreated tea residues (U-SDF), that of fermented tea residues (F-SDF) significantly increased from 4.3% to 31.56% under the optimal conditions by using response surface methodology. The F-SDF exhibited higher uronic acid content (34.82% vs 17.81%), crystallinity (23.11% vs 17.36%) and thermal stability than U-SDF. Moreover, the specific surface area of F-SDF increased after fermentation by SEM analysis. Difference appeared in the monosaccharide composition ratio of F-SDF (0.06:0.77:1.00:2.41:0.63:0.86:1.80) and U-SDF (0.02:0.81:1.00:0.34:0.13:1.39). Furthermore, the binding capacity of SDF for Pb, Cd, and Cu at pH 7.0 were more than 2.4 times than that at pH 2.0. The binding capacity of F-SDF for Pb (664.5 vs 590.7 μmol/g), Cd (405.6 vs 349.6 μmol/g), and Cu (368.5 vs 307.9 μmol/g) were significantly increased than U-SDF. The overall results indicated that F-SDF could be used as a potential food additive to protect the body from the hazard of food-derived heavy metals. Highlights: Trichoderma viride fermentation treatment was used to extract SDF from tea residues. The yield of SDF has increased almost 8 fold after fermentation. The uronic acid content, crystallinity and thermal stability of SDF were higher after fermentation. SDF exhibited higher binding capacity of heavy metal ions (Pb, Cd, Cu) after fermentation.
