Food industry is focused on the development of novel functional foods
containing health promoting natural ingredients, avoiding the potential
harm of synthetic food additives. In the present work, the antioxidant
and antimicrobial potential of Foeniculum vulgare Mill. (fennel)
decoction (phenolic-enriched extract) was evaluated; after chemical
characterization of the extract by HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS, it was used as
natural ingredient in cottage cheese samples for two purposes: increase
shelf life and bring bioactive properties. The incorporation of
fennelbased ingredients did not alter significantly the nutritional
characteristics of control cottage cheese (without fennel-based
ingredients), but avoided the increase in yellowness (after 7 days of
storage), and the decrease in lactose content (after 14 days of storage)
observed in control samples. Control samples after 14 days of storage,
were the only ones showing signs of degradation. Furthermore, the
incorporation of the fennel decoction improved the antioxidant
properties of cottage cheese, up to 14 days of storage. Overall, fennel
decoction can be used as a natural conservation enhancer in cottage
cheese, while bringing antioxidant properties to the final product. (C)
