Tüfekçi S, Özkal SG. The Optimization of Hybrid (Microwave-Conventional) Drying of Sweet Potato Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Foods 2023; 12:3003. [PMID: 37628002 PMCID: PMC10453211 DOI: 10.3390/foods12163003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Hybrid microwave-hot air (MW-HA) drying of sweet potatoes was optimized using a face-centered central composite design (FCCCD) with response surface methodology through the desirability function. The independent variables were drying temperature (50-70 °C) and microwave power (0-180 W), while the investigated responses were the drying time (Dt), the rehydration ratio (RR), the water-holding capacity (WHC), the antioxidant activity change (AA-PC), the total phenolic content change (TPC-PC), and the beta-carotene content change (BC-PC). The main criteria for the optimization of hybrid drying of sweet potatoes was to produce dried potatoes in the shortest drying time with a maximum RR and WHC and with minimum bioactive content (AA, TPC, and BC) loss. The optimum conditions were found to be a drying temperature of 54.36 °C with a microwave power of 101.97 W. At this optimum point, the Dt, RR, WHC, AA-PC, TPC-PC, and BC-PC were 61.76 min, 3.29, 36.56, 31.03%, -30.50%, and -79.64%, respectively. The results of this study provide new information about the effect of the hybrid drying method (MW-HA) on the rehydration ability and bioactive compounds of sweet potatoes, as well as the optimum values of the process.

Pleurotus ostreatus Grown on Agro-Industrial Residues: Studies on Microbial Contamination and Shelf-Life Prediction under Different Packaging Types and Storage Temperatures. Foods 2023; 12:foods12030524. [PMID: 36766053 PMCID: PMC9914764 DOI: 10.3390/foods12030524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The short shelf-life of mushrooms, due to water loss and microbial spoilage, is the main constraint for commercialization and consumption. The effect of substrate type combined with different temperatures and packaging conditions on the shelf-life of fresh Pleurotus ostreatus is scantily researched. The current study investigated the shelf-life of fresh oyster mushrooms grown on low (0.3, 0.3, 0.17) and high (0.7, 0.7, 0.33) rates of olive pruning residues (OLPR), spent coffee grounds (SCG), and both combined residues (OLPR/SCG) with wheat straw (WS), respectively, at ambient (20 °C) and 4 °C temperatures under no packaging, polyethylene plastic bag packaging (PBP), and polypropylene vacuum bag packaging (VBP). Results showed that at ambient temperature OLPR/SCG mushrooms PBP-bagged had an increased shelf-life by 0.5-1.2 days in comparison with WS ones. The predictive models adopted to optimize mushroom shelf-life at ambient temperature set rates of 0.289 and 0.303 of OLPR and OLPR/SCG, respectively, and PBP as the most suitable conditions (9.18 and 9.14 days, respectively). At 4 °C, OLPR/SCG mushrooms VBP-bagged had a longer shelf-life of 2.6-4.4 days compared to WS ones. Predictive models noted a maximized shelf-life of VBP-bagged mushrooms (26.26 days) when a rate of 0.22 OLPR/SCG is incorporated into the initial substrate. The combination of OLPR and SCG increased the shelf-life of fresh Pleurotus ostreatus by decreasing the total microbial count (TMC) while delaying weight loss and veil opening, and maintaining carbohydrate content, good firmness, and considerable protein, in comparison with WS regardless the storage temperature and packaging type.

Abstract
The article considers whether a shiitake basidiomycete can be processed into powder. This mushroom is a source of valuable nutrients: it contains, on a dry basis, 18.76% of protein, 74.5% of carbohydrates, 1% of lipids, and 5.73% of ash. It has been determined that to obtain a uniform mushroom suspension, it is advisable to use the mechanisms of discrete-pulse energy input, which is an effective tool to influence the high-strength structural elements of heterogeneous systems of different nature. It has been determined that the mechanostructural properties of a mushroom suspension as an object of spray drying need to be changed. Studies of the microstructure have shown that in a suspension obtained from a whole fruiting body, particles of the insoluble fractions of a shiitake mushroom aggregate into chaotic clusters. These are spatial associates up to 3–4 mm in size, with individual hyphae of their caps or their fragments that are significantly shorter (10–15 μm) than the hyphae of the stems (50–5000 µm). The three-cycle processing of the suspension obtained from a whole mushroom by discrete-pulse energy input led to a decrease in the average particle size by 2.3 times. The same processing of the mushroom suspension obtained from the shiitake caps made it possible to reduce the average particle size by 20 times (to δmax≤100–150 μm). Microstructural analysis of the powder obtained from the whole fruiting body of the mushroom has shown that while the size of the particles generally ranges 4–120 µm, the bulk of them (80–85%) are quite large agglomerates, 40–120 µm in size. The powder obtained from the caps of the mushroom had smaller particles (ranging 4–60 µm), mostly round-shaped, and 75–80% of these particles were 4–20 µm in size. This improved its drying conditions and increased the yield from the spray dryer up to 92% (while the yield of powder prepared from the whole shiitake mushroom was less than 50%). The complex of studies carried out has shown the advantages of obtaining a mushroom suspension from the caps of shiitake mushrooms. The use of mechanisms of discrete-pulse energy input allows a 6-fold increase in the bioavailable health-improving polysaccharide complex contained in the powder from shiitake caps, as compared with the powder obtained from mushroom’s whole fresh fruiting body.

[PMID: 34089191 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.13814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Revised: 04/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
In this study, modified headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and electronic nose (E-nose) were utilized to investigate the dynamic aroma changes of Lentinula edodes (L. edodes) at different stages of vacuum freeze drying (VFD). The extraction efficiency of volatile compounds from vacuum freeze-dried L. edodes was improved by optimizing five parameters of the HS-SPME. A total of 50 volatiles were identified in L. edodes from different VFD stages by GC-MS. Alcohols, aldehydes, and volatile sulfur-containing compounds (VSCs) were the main flavor constituents of fresh L. edodes, frozen L. edodes, and secondary dried L. edodes. Aldehydes, ketones, and VSCs were the main aroma groups in L. edodes after primary drying. There were 20 volatiles as key odorants with the odor activity values greater than 1, in which esters appeared only before secondary drying of L. edodes. These findings could contribute to a comprehensive insight into the formation mechanism of flavor in the VFD process of L. edodes. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Lentinula edodes is the second most widely cultivated edible fungus worldwide. It is considered a valuable health food not just because of its abundance of nutrients but also because of its delicious taste. This study investigated the regularity regarding the changes of volatile compounds in L. edodes during vacuum freeze drying. The results of the present study offer valuable knowledge for the formation mechanism of volatile substances in the drying process of L. edodes, which can be beneficial to promote the development and utilization of flavor substances in L. edodes.

Vacuum and Infrared-Assisted Hot Air Impingement Drying for Improving the Processing Performance and Quality of Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf Cubes. Foods 2021; 10:foods10050992. [PMID: 34062860 PMCID: PMC8147373 DOI: 10.3390/foods10050992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Revised: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 04/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop an efficient drying technology for poria cubes in order to improve product quality. Poria cubes were dried using different methods, including air impingement drying, infrared-assisted air impingement drying, vacuum drying, two-stage vacuum drying, and infrared-assisted air impingement drying. The results were compared with those from hot air drying. For the two-stage drying, the tested conditions were the first stage of vacuum drying with temperatures between 65–85 °C and a switching moisture ratio of 70–90%. The second stage infrared-assisted air impingement drying also had temperatures 65–85 °C. The drying kinetics (effective moisture diffusivity (Deff), Biot number (Bi), and mass transfer coefficient (k) were studied via the product qualities (broken ratio, firmness, microstructure, and water-soluble polysaccharide content) and specific energy consumption (SEC) of the drying processes. The results showed that two-stage drying led to the lowest drying time and energy consumption, and also obtained the best qualities. Box–Behnken experimental design with response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the two-stage operating conditions as 82 °C under vacuum drying until a moisture content of 81% and a temperature of 69 °C with infrared-assisted air impingement drying was achieved. These findings suggested that two-stage vacuum and infrared-assisted air impingement drying is a promising method for producing high quality and energy efficient dried poria cubes.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2021; 20:2560-2595.

Abstract
Shiitake mushrooms are one of the most popular and highly consumed mushrooms worldwide both in fresh and dry forms. However, it rapidly starts losing its quality immediately after harvest which necessitates processing and/or proper storage before being distributed. However, the processes used for preserving other mushrooms (e.g., Agaricus) become unviable for shiitake due to its uniqueness (higher respiration rate, varied biochemicals, growth, etc.) which demands individual studies on shiitake. This review starts by listing the factors and their interdependence leading to a quality decline in shiitake after harvest. Understanding well about these factors, numerous post-harvest operations preserve shiitake as fresh form for a shorter period and as dried forms for a longer shelf-life. These processes also affect the intrinsic quality and nutrients of shiitake. This review comprehensively summarizes and discusses the effects of chemical processing (washing, fumigation, coating, and ozone), modified atmosphere packaging (including irradiation) on the quality of fresh shiitake while discussing their efficiency in extending their shelf-life by inhibiting microbial spoilage and deterioration in quality including texture, appearance, nutrients, and favor. It also reviews the impact of thermal dehydration on the quality of dried shiitake mushrooms, especially the acquired unique textural, nutritional, and aromatic properties along with their merits and limitations. Since shiitake are preferred to be low-cost consumer products, the applicability of freeze-drying and sophisticated novel methodologies, which prove to be expensive and/or complex, are discussed. The review also outlines the challenges and proposes the subsequent future directives, which either retains/enhances the desirable quality in shiitake mushrooms.

Abstract
AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the potential of electronic nose (E-nose) to differentiate volatiles of shiitakes produced at different drying stages. Shiitakes at different drying time slots were categorized into four groups (fresh, early, middle and late stage) by sensory evaluation. E-nose was used to analyze the volatiles and compared with headspace solid phase micro-extraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS/GC-MS). The principal component analysis results showed that shiitakes at each stage could be successfully discriminated by E-nose and HS/GC-MS. The differences in volatile organic compounds produced at each stage were mainly caused by sulfurs and alcohols, leading to apparent changes of sensors sensitive to sulfurs, alcohols and aromatic compounds. The discriminant models were established by partial least squares discriminant analysis and support vector machine classification, with accuracy rates of 91.25 % and 95.83 %, respectively. The results demonstrated the potential use of E-nose in classifying and monitoring shiitakes during drying process.
