Abstract
Ice cream is a multiphase frozen dessert that often melts during distribution and upon consumption. The meltdown phenomenon is one of the concerns in the quality preservation of ice cream for consumer convenience in the frozen food industry. In this context, X-ray tomography was used to visualise and quantify 3D ice crystal and air bubble evolution during the meltdown of ice cream. Two ice cream products, namely I and II, with varying air volume fractions, were evaluated for this study. The results indicated a small mean diameter of 66.43 ± 2.07 µm at 0 min and decreased to 45.74 ± 3.92 µm during 10 min of the meltdown of ice cream II. A large mean diameter of ice crystals of 75.02 ± 3.14 µm was found in ice cream I, at 0 min that decreased significantly (p < 0.05) to 54.30 ± 2.63 µm during 10 min of the meltdown. The air bubbles were also observed to decrease in mean diameter. The 3D datasets on the ice crystals and air bubbles described in this work provide more insight into the 3D microstructural evolution during the meltdown and are useful in controlling the sensory quality attributes of ice cream desserts.

Abstract
Fruits and vegetables are rich in essential nutrients such as minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants; however, they have short shelf life. Freezing is a superior method of preservation compared to other techniques with respect to nutrient retention and maintenance of sensory attributes. However, several physical and textural quality changes associated with freezing and thawing pose a serious problem to the quality of frozen products. Some of the disadvantages associated with the currently employed methods for freezing fruits and vegetables include low rates of heat exchange in blast freezers, shape limitation in plate freezers, high cost of operation in cryogenic freezing, and freezing solution dilution in immersion freezing. Therefore, novel freezing technologies have been developed to achieve controlled ice nucleation and crystallization, enhanced freezing rate, decreased phase transition time, and maintained temperature stability. This review discusses some of the most recent approaches employed in freezing and points to their adoption for maintaining the quality of fruits and vegetables with extended storage.

Abstract
Freezing is an effective technology with which to maintain food quality. However, the formation of ice crystals during this process can cause damage to the cellular structure, leading to food deterioration. A good understanding of the relationship between food microstructure and ice morphology, as well as the ability to effectively measure and control ice crystals, is very useful to achieve high-quality frozen foods. Hence, a brief discussion is presented on the fundamentals/principles of optical microscopic techniques (light microscopy), electronic microscopic techniques (transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)), as well as other non-invasive techniques (X-rays, spectroscopy, and magnetic resonance) and their application to measuring ice formation rates and characterizing ice crystals, providing insight into the freezing mechanisms as well as direct monitoring of the entire process. And, in addition, this review compares (the negative and positive aspects of) the use of simple and cheap but destructive technologies (optical microscopy) with detailed microscopic technologies at the micro/nanometer scale but with pretreatments that alter the original sample (SEM and TEM), and non-destructive technologies that do not require sample preparation but which have high acquisition and operational costs. Also included are images and examples which demonstrate how useful an analysis using these techniques can be.

Abstract
Fruit cells are living irregular three-dimensional (3D) transparent objects which makes them challenging to determine their real 3D size and shape through only two-dimensional (2D) images using the existing biological microscope. This study deals with a newly self-developed biological microscope including a microscope imaging system, a light source system, a stage and a support base for the 3D size characterization of fruit single cells. The main design concept is based on two optical path systems set up at the front (x-axis) and bottom (z-axis) directions of a transparent chamber containing single cells that allow the front view and bottom view of the single cell to be observed. Performance indicators such as mass, size, observation range, objective magnification, total magnification, focal range, focal accuracy, and resolution of the developed biological microscope were estimated. Finally, the 3D geometry size of single tomato cells was measured by the new biological microscope to demonstrate the relative ease at which accurate real 3D geometry information of single fruit cells could be obtained, which echoes its scientific value.

Abstract
In this study, the microstructural evolution of a non-reactive porous model food (sponge cake) during freezing was investigated. Sponge cake samples were frozen at two different rates: slow freezing (0.3 °C min−1) and fast freezing (17.2 °C min−1). Synchrotron X-ray microtomography (µ-CT) and cryo-scanning electron microscopy (Cryo-SEM) were used to visualize and analyze the microstructure features. The samples were scanned before and after freezing using a specific thermostated cell (CellStat) combined with the synchrotron beamline. Cryo-SEM and 3D µ-CT image visualization allowed a qualitative analysis of the ice formation and location in the porous structure. An image analysis method based on grey level was used to segment the three phases of the frozen samples: air, ice and starch. Volume fractions of each phase, ice local thickness and shape characterization were determined and discussed according to the freezing rates.

Abstract
Abstract
The aim of this work is the simulation of volumetric strain of tuberous crop during drying. We propose a poroelastic model for predicting the drying kinetics and volume loss of potato cubes during convective drying. The Biot’s theory of poroelasticity was used, which considers the Lamé parameters, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio. Drying kinetics and volumetric strain were modeled and compared versus experimental data. An X-ray microtomograph coupled with image analysis was used to visualize the shape and size of the samples during drying. Drying experiments were conducted at 50, 60 and 70 °C, 20% RH, with an air velocity of 1 and 2 m/s. The drying process was interrupted several times to perform tomographic acquisitions. We found a period of ideal shrinkage, nevertheless, the volumetric strain reveals a kinetic behavior over time. The model computes the volumetric strain, which describes correctly the experimental data obtained by microtomography.

Abstract
The quality of agricultural products relates to the internal structure, which has long been a matter of interest in agricultural scientists. However, inspection methods of the opaque nature of internal information on agricultural products are usually destructive and require sample separation or preparation. X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) technology is one of the important nondestructive testing (NDT) technologies without sample separation and preparation. In this study, X-ray CT technology is used to obtain two-dimensional slice images and three-dimensional tomographic images of samples. The purpose of the review was to provide an overview of the working principle of X-ray CT technology, image processing, and analysis. This review aims to focus on the development of the agricultural products (e.g., wheat, maize, rice, apple, beef) and its applications (e.g., internal quality evaluation, microstructure observation, mechanical property measurement, and others) using CT scanner. This paper covers the aspects regarding the advantages and disadvantages of NDT technology, especially the unique advantages and limitations of X-ray CT technology on the quality inspection of agricultural products. Future prospects of X-ray CT technology are also put forward to become indispensable to the quality evaluation and product development on agricultural products.

Time-Resolved Tomographic Quantification of the Microstructural Evolution of Ice Cream. MATERIALS 2018; 11:ma11102031. [PMID: 30347641 PMCID: PMC6212982 DOI: 10.3390/ma11102031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2018] [Revised: 10/11/2018] [Accepted: 10/15/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Ice cream is a complex multi-phase colloidal soft-solid and its three-dimensional microstructure plays a critical role in determining the oral sensory experience or mouthfeel. Using in-line phase contrast synchrotron X-ray tomography, we capture the rapid evolution of the ice cream microstructure during heat shock conditions in situ and operando, on a time scale of minutes. The further evolution of the ice cream microstructure during storage and abuse was captured using ex situ tomography on a time scale of days. The morphology of the ice crystals and unfrozen matrix during these thermal cycles was quantified as an indicator for the texture and oral sensory perception. Our results reveal that the coarsening is due to both Ostwald ripening and physical agglomeration, enhancing our understanding of the microstructural evolution of ice cream during both manufacturing and storage. The microstructural evolution of this complex material was quantified, providing new insights into the behavior of soft-solids and semi-solids, including many foodstuffs, and invaluable data to both inform and validate models of their processing.

Multilacunarity as a spatial multiscale multi-mass morphometric of change in the meso-architecture of plant parenchyma tissue. CHAOS (WOODBURY, N.Y.) 2018; 28:093110. [PMID: 30278622 DOI: 10.1063/1.5047021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2018] [Accepted: 09/01/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
The lacunarity index (monolacunarity) averages the behavior of variable size structures in a binary image. The generalized lacunarity concept (multilacunarity) on the basis of generalized distribution moments is an appealing model that can account for differences in the mass content at different scales. The model was tested previously on natural images [J. Vernon-Carter et al., Physica A 388, 4305 (2009)]. Here, the computational aspects of multilacunarity are validated using synthetic binary images that consist of random maps, spatial stochastic patterns, patterns with circular or polygonal elements, and a plane fractal. Furthermore, monolacunarity and detrended fluctuation analysis were employed to quantify the mesostructural changes in the intercellular air spaces of frozen-thawed parenchymatous tissue of pome fruit [N. A. Valous et al., J. Appl. Phys. 115, 064901 (2014)]. Here, the aim is to further examine the coherence of the multilacunarity model for quantifying the mesostructural changes in the intercellular air spaces of parenchymatous tissue of pome and stone fruit, acquired with X-ray microcomputed tomography, after storage and ripening, respectively. The multilacunarity morphometric is a multiscale multi-mass fingerprint of spatial pattern composition, assisting the exploration of the effects of metabolic and physiological activity on the pore space of plant parenchyma tissue.

Abstract
Plant-based food materials are mostly porous in nature and heterogeneous in structure with huge diversity in cellular orientation. Different cellular environments of plant-based food materials, such as intercellular, intracellular, and cell wall environments, hold different proportions of water with different characteristics. Due to this structural heterogeneity, it is very difficult to understand the drying process and associated morphological changes during drying. Transport processes and morphological changes that take place during drying are mainly governed by the characteristics of and the changes in the cells. Therefore, to predict the actual heat and mass transfer process that occurs in the drying process and associated morphological changes, development of multiscale modeling is crucial. Multiscale modeling is a powerful approach with the ability to incorporate this cellular structural heterogeneity with microscale heat and mass transfer during drying. However, due to the huge complexity involved in developing such a model for plant-based food materials, the studies regarding this issue are very limited. Therefore, we aim in this article to develop a critical conceptual understanding of multiscale modeling frameworks for heterogeneous food materials through an extensive literature review. We present a critical review on the multiscale model formulation and solution techniques with their spatial and temporal coupling options. Food structure, scale definition, and the current status of multiscale modeling are also presented, along with other key factors that are critical to understanding and developing an accurate multiscale framework. We conclude by presenting the main challenges for developing an accurate multiscale modeling framework for food drying.
