Branched Chain Amino Acid Content and Antioxidant Activity of Mung Bean Tempeh Powder for Developing Oral Nutrition Supplements

Mung bean (Vigna radiata), a non-soybean legume, is known as one of the vegetable protein sources with 27% protein content. Mung bean also has a high content of essential amino acids, including branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). The use of mung bean for tempeh production presumably increases its nutritional value and functional efficacy, most significantly in protein and BCAA content. This tempeh is further applied for developing modern functional foods such as oral nutrition supplements (ONS). ONS can be used as a substitute for food and emergency food due to its complete nutritional content, as well as to treat malnourished patients. This study was aimed to produce mung bean tempeh powder, to formulate a mung bean tempeh one shot ONS high in BCAA content, and to determine its proximate analysis, antioxidant activity, and sensory characterization. Mung bean tempeh powder was successfully obtained with a yield of 37.50%, protein 39.19%, total amino acids 286.21 mg/g, essential amino acids 117.97 mg/g, and BCAAs 54.14 mg/g. There were 6 ONS formulas that were made with the combination of mung bean tempeh powder, palm sugar or honey, olive oil, and addition of an emulsifier. The selected formulas (F1 and F4) as well as commercial mung bean juice were sensory analyzed by applying an appropriate hedonic test. The results showed that the panelists both liked ONS F1 and F4 (p > 0.05). In addition, both ONS F1 and F4 at 5% demonstrated a significant antioxidant capacity, 92.79% and 82.57% of ascorbic acid, respectively. These data suggest that mung bean tempeh containing high branched amino acids could be recommended as a functional ingredient that gives health promotion for ONS development.


Introduction
Tempeh is one of Indonesia's most famous traditional foods made from fermented beans. Beans are a potential source of vegetable protein with very low-fat content and contain various vitamins and minerals. The fermentation process can increase nutritional value due to the hydrolysis process of complex compounds in beans into simpler compounds by microorganisms [1]. In addition, it also helps in the removal of anti-nutritional compounds, increases certain nutrients, and the formation of bioactive compounds [2]. Several processes during tempeh fermentation also affect the anti-nutritional compounds in the beans. The soaking, dehulling, cooking, and fermentation processes by Rhizopus oligosporus caused the activation of trypsin inhibitory activity and reduction of phytic acid content and total phenolic compounds in soybean, kidney bean, and jojoba seeds [3]. It increases the levels of protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and antioxidant compounds [4]. In general, tempeh production utilizes soybeans as a main ingredient due to their high protein and BCAA content. However, the rapid increase in soybean consumption has not been matched by an adequate rise in domestic soybean production. The gap has been filled with imported soybeans which fluctuated soybean prices [5]. This has prompted research using other non-soybean legumes as substitute tempeh substrates, namely, common beans, peanuts, lupine beans, adzuki beans, mung beans, pigeon peas, and many more. Mung bean (Vigna radiata) is a prime candidate due to its abundant amount in Indonesia and contains 27% vegetable protein with a high content of essential amino acids, including BCAA, whose amount is not inferior to soybeans [6]. Mung beans are the third most widely grown legume in Indonesia after soybeans and peanuts. Regions in Indonesia which produce mung beans are Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, West Sumatra, South Sumatra, West Java, Central Java, East Java, North Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara, and East Nusa Tenggara. Mung bean porridge is traditionally known as a popular breakfast food in most regions in Indonesia. Due to its high contents of fiber, carbohydrate, and protein, this porridge is believed to be an importance source of energy for the body and the right choice for breakfast foods. A previous study demonstrated the use of distilled water extraction in a ratio of 1:1 for obtaining protein isolates from mung bean tempeh [7].
Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are ready-to-drink products existing in liquid, semi-liquid, or solid form that are rich in macro-and micronutrients at various concentration levels. The usage of ONS significantly improves nutritional status and appetite [8]. ONS can be used as a substitute for food and emergency food due to its complete nutritional content, as well as to treat malnourished patients. A shot is a type of ONS made from protein and fat in a concentrated form. The main recipe for making ONS one shot is mung bean tempeh which is high in protein, including branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). BCAAs are a trio of amino acids consisting of leucine, isoleucine, and valine that can only be obtained from food. These BCAAs have been recognized as one of the most promising functional ingredients for health promotion, which includes preventing muscle loss at any age, reducing the negative nitrogen balance in biological systems, and treating patients with cirrhosis and liver cancer [9,10].
Several studies have been conducted to utilize mung bean tempeh as a functional food by Maryam [11] and enteral food formulations based on high-protein soybean tempeh powder by Faidah et al. [12]. However, currently there is no research that utilizes tempeh mung beans which are high in protein and BCAAs to produce functional drinks in the form of ONS one shot. The abundant availability and nutritious content of local mung beans leads this study to produce mung bean tempeh powder, to formulate a mung bean tempeh one shot ONS high in BCAA content, and to determine its proximate analysis, antioxidant activity, and sensory characterization.

Mung Bean Powder and Mung Bean Tempeh Powder Production
Mung bean samples were collected from a traditional market in Kupang (East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia). Mung bean powder (unfermented) and mung bean tempeh powder (fermented) production were carried out using the methods of Widjajasaputra and Dinar [13,14]; 500 g of mung beans was first prepared by washing them until clean and then soaked overnight at room temperature (30 • C). For the unfermented mung bean powder, after the soaking process, the mung beans were hydrated and dried in an incubator (Memmert INB200-400, Büchenbach, Germany) at 45 • C for 48 h. Dried mung beans were crushed using a food processor (Phillips HR7310 food processor, Amsterdam, The Netherland) and filtered using a 100-mesh sieve (Retsch, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany) to obtain mung bean powder. For tempeh mung bean powder preparation, after soaking overnight, mung beans were boiled for 30 min until they were half-cooked. Then, the mung beans' skin was peeled off and the skinless cooked mung beans were obtained at 823 g. Next, these mung beans were steamed for 10 min. After steaming, the mung beans were then cooled down to room temperature. Subsequently, mung beans were mixed with 1 g of Raprima ® tempeh starter (containing Rhizopus oligosporus strain; PT Aneka Fermentasi Industri, Bandung, Indonesia) and stirred until they were fully blended. Lastly, the mung beans and yeast mixture were transferred into plastic bags that had been perforated and left between 36 to 40 h at room temperature (30 • C). Mung bean tempeh powder preparation was conducted by following the method derived by Jauhari et al. [15]. Frozen samples of mung bean tempeh were put into a freeze-dryer (Christ Alpha 1-2 LDplus −55 • C freeze dryer, Osterode am Harz, Germany; 0.01 mbar; −60 • C) for 48 h. The moisture content of mung bean tempeh powder after freeze-drying was 7.73%. Afterward, the freeze-dried samples were crushed with a food processor until they achieved a smooth and powdery texture. Furthermore, the powder was then filtered using a 100-mesh sieve.

Proximate Analysis
Proximate analysis for ash, moisture, water, protein, and fat contents was carried out according to the method of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) [16]. Carbohydrate content was calculated by using the difference method, through calculating the percentage difference of total contents of the water, ash, protein, and fat with 100%.

Amino Acid Analysis
Amino acid analysis for 18 essential and non-essential amino acids was performed using the UPLC system with C18 (1.6 µm particle size, 2.1 × 150 mm column) (ACQUITY UPLC H-Class, Waters, Milford, MA, USA), according to the procedure established by Waters [17]. Amino acid standard concentration points and internal standards were prepared. A 50 mg sample was weighed and put into a 100 mL volumetric flask. Next, HCl solution was then added and homogenized. The solution was filtered with a 0.20 µm syringe filter (Corning ® , New York, NY, USA) and the filtrate was collected. Standard internal was added, followed by derivatization. Finally, the solution was injected into the UPLC system.
Methionine and cystine were then measured using the LC-MS/MS system with Imtakt Intrada Amino Acid (50 × 3.0 mm column (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) by following the method of Dahl-Lassen et al. [18]. Seven points of internal standards were made in 2 mL vials. The solvent used was a standard solvent; 0.5 g of sample were weighed and transferred into a 20 mL headspace vial, then stored in a cooling water bath at −10 • C for 15 min. The thawing process was carried out until all the sample melted, then sodium bisulfite was added and the vial shook carefully. After three hours, hydrolysis solvent was added. The vial headspace was then uncapped into an open vial and heated in an incubator at 110 • C for 1 h. The vial headspace was then capped and reheated at 110 • C for an additional 21 h. The bottle was then removed, cooled, placed in a 100 mL beaker glass, and diluted to 25 mL with aquadest. The pH was adjusted to 2.20 and then transferred to a 50 mL volumetric flask containing aquadest. Afterwards, the solution was transferred to a 2 mL tube, centrifuged, filtered through an RC 0.20 µm membrane filter (Cytiva, Marlborough, MA, USA), and then injected into the LC-MS/MS system.

Fatty Acid Analysis
Fatty acid analysis was carried out by using the gas chromatography system with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID; Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA) following the modified method of Nur et al. [19]. The working standard solution was prepared at one concentration point in hexane solvent; 50 mg of fat sample was placed in a 20 mL screw vial. Methyl tert-butyl ether and transesterification solution were added, then vortexed for 10 s. After the homogenization process, the sample was centrifuged with hexane and neutralizing solution. The organic phase was collected in 2 mL vials and injected into a GC-FID system.

ONS Formulation
ONS formulation was carried out by following the ESPEN guidelines as described by Weimann et al. [20]. Mung bean tempeh powder was used as a source of protein, palm sugar and honey were taken as a source of carbohydrates, and olive oil was used as a source of fat in this formulation. This formulation was made by mixing mung bean tempeh powder with palm sugar or honey and water in a beaker glass, then combining them with heated fat and an emulsifier. This formulation was made in the form of a shot of 50 mL per serving. Table 1 showed six formulations of mung bean tempeh ONS formulation with various compositions. These formulations were tested by the preliminary sensory test with 5 parameters (color, aroma, taste, viscosity, and overall) for 3 days. The acceptable formulas were selected for further testing by sensory test.

Antioxidant Activity Assay
Antioxidant activity was analyzed using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), following the method of Ghimeray et al. with a slight modification [21]. The tested samples were mung bean tempeh powder and ONS formulations of mung bean tempeh (F1 and F4). Mung bean tempeh powder was extracted using buffer phosphate 50 mM pH 7.0 and diluted to various concentrations (0.5%, 1%, and 5% w/v) in methanol. For ONS formulations, they were also diluted to these concentrations in methanol; 100 µL of each sample with different concentrations was added with 100 µL of 0.6 mM DPPH solution (in methanol). Methanol was used as a blank of the samples; meanwhile, ascorbic acid was used as a positive control. Each solution was vortexed and incubated in the dark for 30 min. Solutions were pipetted into 96 wells of microplates and absorbance was measured at 517 nm using a microplate reader (INNO-M, LTEK Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea). This analysis was performed in triplicate. Antioxidant activity was then calculated using the following formula: Antioxidant = [Ablank − Asample/Ablank] × 100%. Ablank denotes the absorbance of the control reaction, while Asample denotes the absorbance in the presence of the sample.

Sensory Test
The sensory test was carried out by hedonic test following the method of Meilgaard et al. [22]. This hedonic test involved 35 untrained panelists (20 women and 15 men) with an age range of 19-23 and used three samples of ONS shot, including F1, F4, and CF (commercial mung bean juice; ABC Minuman Sari Kacang Hijau by PT Heinz ABC Indonesia, Karawang, West Java, Indonesia). This study was ethically approved by the committee of the Research Centre for Indonesian Spices, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia (003/PRRN/04/2022). Written informed consent for this study was obtained from panelists. The panelists were each given two samples of mung bean tempeh nutritional supplements with different formulas and one commercial mung bean juice. Each sample was named with three random digit codes. Panelists were then given time to evaluate each sample based on five parameters including color, aroma, taste, viscosity, and overall on a scale of 1-7 which determined 1 as very disliked and 7 as very liked.

Statistical Analysis
Quantitative measurements were reported as mean ± standard error mean (SEM) from proximate, amino acid, fatty acid, antioxidant, and sensory tests. All experiments were conducted in triplicate. Analyses were performed with SPSS software using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by the Tukey test to determine the significant variation in results with a 5% significance level.

Mung Bean Tempeh Powder
The results of making tempeh from mung bean substrate can be observed in Figure 1a. Mung bean tempeh powder was successfully obtained through freeze-drying, powdering with a food processor, and filtering using a 100-mesh sieve (Figure 1b). This process produced 187.50 g mung bean tempeh powder from 500 g of dried mung beans, with a yield of 37.50%.

The total fat from tempeh mung bean powder increased by 3.60-fold to 33.00%. On the other hand, fermentation decreased the amount of carbohydrates in mung bean tempeh powder by 1.40-fold (to 47.10%). Ash and moisture content in mung bean tempeh powder were measured at 2.80% and 7.70%, respectively.  Table 3 shows that the increase of amino acids, essential amino acids, and BCAAs was approximately twice in mung bean tempeh powder compared to raw mung bean powder. The concentration of BCAAs in mung bean tempeh powder and mung bean powder represented the 45.89% and 41.89% of the content in essential amino acids, respectively. The highest amino acids found in mung bean tempeh powder were glutamic acid and alanine, while in mung bean powder were glutamic acid and aspartic acid.

Fatty Acid Profiles of Mung Bean Tempeh
The fatty acid content in mung bean tempeh is illustrated in Table 4. The mung bean tempeh powder was characterized by a high content of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA, 2.92%) with the essential omega-6 being the most abundant chemical class of fatty acids. 1.64 ± 0.00 Omega-9 Omega-7 1.01 ± 0.00 0.02 ± 0.00 Data were shown in mean ± standard deviation.

Sensory Evaluation Results
A preliminary sensory test for six ONS formulas containing mung bean tempeh powder was conducted over three days at room temperature. This test was performed in five sensory parameters, including color, viscosity, taste, scent, and overall to find the acceptable formula (Table 5 and Figure 2). The overall parameters determined the acceptable formulas based on their stability. The accepted formulas (F1 and F4) were continued for sensory evaluation by the panelists. Table 6 and Figure 3 show the results of F1, F4, and control (CF) sensory analysis on the five parameters tested, including color, taste, aroma, viscosity, and overall. In the parameters of aroma and viscosity, there was no significant difference between these data obtained from the samples tested (p > 0.05). On the other hand, color, taste, and overall parameters showed a significance difference (p < 0.05). The CF sample was preferred by panelists based on the taste and overall parameters. Meanwhile, the F4 sample was preferred based on the color parameter. sory evaluation by the panelists.

Discussion
This study intended to produce mung bean tempeh powder, beginning with the process of making mung bean tempeh. Kupang's mung beans were chosen as a substrate to utilize locally sourced Indonesian mung beans. The fermentation of mung beans into tempeh improves its nutritional contents including essential amino acids, forms bioactive compounds that are beneficial to health, and enhances organoleptic properties [23]. The mung bean tempeh fermentation process was carried out for 36 to 40 h. Over-fermentation will result in protein degradation, which increases ammonia levels and gives the tempeh a strong malodorous odor [24]. The production of mung bean tempeh powder was achieved by using a freeze-dryer and food processor. Freeze-drying is a more beneficial food drying technique that could maintain both the aroma and color of food products [25]. The yield obtained in the production of mung bean tempeh powder was 37.50% (39.19% of protein), almost equivalent to ±40.00% yield of soybean tempeh powder (45.55% of protein) reported by Jauhari et al. [15]. Another alternative method to make tempeh powder (soybean) can be completed through a natural process, which is drying it in the sun which gives a yield of 31.52% (16.33% of protein) [26].
For nutritional values, proximate profiles showed that protein content in mung bean tempeh powder was up to 1.7 times higher compared to that of mung bean powder only (Table 3). These data also aligned with the previous report composed by Lestari et al. [27]. Another report showed that the amount of protein in soy tempeh powder was 1.20 times higher than mung bean tempeh powder [14]. Fermented mung beans implied an increase of 2× in amino acid content as compared to raw mung beans ( Table 4). The BCAA content in mung bean tempeh was 45.89% of the total essential amino acids, comparable to a slightly lower content at 41.89% in unfermented mung beans. Mung bean tempeh contains 54.14 mg/g BCAAs which is significantly higher than the BCAA content found in unfermented mung beans (38.80 mg/g) reported by Lee et al. [28]. Overall, fermentation is proven to enhance the nutritional value of raw mung beans in terms of the total amino acids, essential amino acids, and BCAAs. BCAAs have been used as one of the dietary supplements in various pathophysiological conditions. Supplementing with BCAAs can prevent muscle loss at any age, reduce the negative nitrogen balance in biological systems, and treat patients with cirrhosis and liver cancer [10].
In mung bean tempeh powder, the highest amino acid content was glutamic acid, which was 48.76 mg/g, followed by alanine, which was 37.39 mg/g (Table 3). Glutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid found in abundant quantities within mung beans. Glutamic acid in the body turns into glutamate which plays a role in the formation of proteins in the body, assists brain nerve cells to send and receive information from other cells, and plays an important role in memory, cognition, and mood regulation [29]. Meanwhile, alanine acts as a source of energy for muscle tissue, boosts the body's immune system by producing antibodies, and assists in sugar metabolism within the body [30]. In addition, lipid content in mung bean tempeh powder was 3.28%, below 5% (Table 3). Meanwhile, in the fatty acid profiles shown in Table 5, the levels of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 are below 2%. Therefore, it was concluded that mung bean tempeh powder was high in protein but did not have a high fat content.
Preliminary testing was performed to discover the two best formulations for sensory testing through a hedonic test. As a result, F1 and F4 one shot ONS formulas were chosen to be the best formula based on their stability and sensory parameters within 3 days of observation (Table 6 and Figure 2). Meanwhile, with the other non-selected formulations, separation of the water and oil phases occurred due to the unmixed and homogenous composition. F1 and F4 were made from mung bean tempeh powder, palm sugar (F1) or honey (F4), olive oil, and addition of an emulsifier. Sensory testing with seven-point hedonic scales showed that there was a significant difference in the color parameter between samples F1 and CF towards F4 with a p-value < 0.05, meaning the panelists preferred samples F4 in color rather than F1 and CF. In taste and overall parameters, a significant difference (p < 0.05) was shown by samples F1 and F4 towards the CF sample, meaning the CF sample was the most preferred compared to the other samples. To conclude, F1 and F4 samples were not significantly different within their sensory parameters, excluding the color (Table 7 and Figure 3). Therefore, the F1 and F4 samples were chosen to be the final recipe for the mung bean tempeh ONS shot. Sensory evaluation was utilized as a guide to achieve the desired product, identifying areas for improvement, determining whether optimization has been achieved, and assessing consumer acceptance and preference [31].
The presence of antioxidants in fermented food products, especially mung beans, has been widely reported [33]. Fermented food products derived from plant-based foods have high-quality protein with plenty and complete amino acid contents. Several amino acids in the form of tryptophan, methionine, histidine, lysine, cysteine, arginine, and tyrosine are reported to have a high antioxidant capacity [34]. In this study, antioxidant tests were carried out on samples of mung bean tempeh powder and two ONS (F1 and F4). Interestingly, both ONS F1 and F4 tested at 1% evidenced a not significant difference in terms of antioxidant activity compared to the ascorbic acid standard. Meanwhile, ONS F1 and F4 at 5% possessed a considerable antioxidant capacity, 92.79% and 82.57% of ascorbic acid. Mung bean tempeh powder also showed potential antioxidant activity (61.86%). This indicates that the mung bean tempeh has a good antioxidant effect. The antioxidant activity of mung bean tempeh was the same as soybean tempeh (52.72-67.61%), discovered by Barus et al. [35]. The higher antioxidant activity in ONS F1 and F4 is caused by the addition of palm sugar, honey, and olive oil which could increase the antioxidant effect.
The high-protein ONS shot contains BCAAs (isoleucine, leucine, and valine) as well as nutrients such as glucose and lipids. They both offer a rich diet of essential nutrients that can be used as an alternative adjunct to treat acute malnutrition. Additionally, BCAAs also claim to enhance protein synthesis and attenuate inflammation [36]. The recommended BCAA intake is 40, 20, and 19 mg/kg/day of leucine, valine, and isoleucine, respectively [34]. BCAAs in the ONS shot was 281.53 mg per 50 mL. This ONS can be used as an additional supplement to meet BCAA intake with the amount of consumption adjusted to the needs according to body weight. Multiple nutrient deficiencies caused by severe acute malnutrition leads to severe oxidative stress [37]. This effect can be mitigated by administering antioxidant supplements, including this ONS drink which has been proven to have high antioxidant activity. Further research is required before using the high-antioxidant ONS mung bean tempeh drink as an adjunctive therapy to treat this disease and minimize the risk.
Meal replacements are popular alternative food products. Meal replacements are used to replace regular meals by providing complete nutrition. According to The European Commission, meal replacements must contain 200-250 kcal of energy, no more than 35% fat content, and 25-50% protein content [38]. To qualify as a meal replacement, four servings of ONS mung bean tempeh must be consumed with a calorie content of 224 kcal, energy from fat by 32%, and energy from protein by 14% for F1. Whereas F4 contains 208 kcal, 35% fat content, and 15.6% protein content. From these data, mung bean tempeh is still lacking in protein content, therefore is unable to act as a meal replacement. A possible method to achieve the desired protein content is by increasing the amount of mung bean tempeh powder, which is the main source of protein in this formula.

Conclusions
Mung bean tempeh powder was successfully obtained with a yield of 37.5%, protein 39.19%, a total of 286.21 mg/g amino acids, essential amino acids 117.97 mg/g, and 54.14 mg/g of BCAAs. Tempeh powder at 5% also had good antioxidant activity (61.84%). There were two formulas of ONS one shot mung bean tempeh (F1 and F4). Both ONS F1 and F4 were equally liked by the panelists with a BCAA content of 281.53 mg per 50 mL. Both ONS F1 and F4 at 5% showed significant antioxidant activity, 92.79% and 82.57% of ascorbic acid, respectively. These data suggest that mung bean tempeh containing high branched amino acids could be recommended as a functional ingredient that gives health promotion for ONS development.
