Abstract
In the world of industrial drying processes, foam mat microwave drying is a significant and valuable approach. Its advantages include increased drying effectiveness, preservation of product quality, energy and cost savings, flexibility in application, and improved safety. Development of Nagpur mandarin juice powder is tedious and time-consuming due to its bitter test and less total soluble solid, therefore the present research carried out with the process parameters for microwave drying include microwave power levels (180, 360, 540, 720, and 900 W) and drying bed thicknesses (2, 4, and 6 mm). Foamed juice is produced using soy protein isolate (2.10 %), GMS (2.75 %), CMC (1.75 %), and sugar (5.10 %), with whipping times of 8 min. Additional foaming agents include guar gum (0.45 %), soy protein isolate (3.30 %), and sugar (10 %) with whipping times of 6 min. The optimal conditions for drying Nagpur mandarin juice were determined through analysis using Design-Expert 11.0.4.1 software. These conditions include 540 W of microwave power, a drying bed thickness of 3 mm, and the use of a foaming agent comprising 2.10 % soy protein isolate, 2.75 % GMS, 1.75 % CMC, and 5.10 % sugar, with an 8-min whipping period. Under these optimized conditions, the resulting powder exhibited the following characteristics: color b value of 19.59, ΔE (change in color) of 6.24, acidity of 0.40 %, ascorbic acid content of 36.64 mg/100 g, water activity of 0.26, drying time (in minutes), and overall acceptability rating of 7.77. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the optimized process parameters in achieving desirable quality attributes for Nagpur mandarin juice powder production.

Food Sci Nutr 2024; 12:1340-1355. [PMID: 38370060 PMCID: PMC10867499 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.3847] [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: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Red cabbage, a highly nutritious cool-season cruciferous vegetable, is rich in anthocyanins; however, the instability of anthocyanins during processing and storage poses challenges. This study aimed to optimize the foam-mat drying process of red cabbage juice (RCJ) with a high anthocyanin content using a hybrid microwave hot air-drying system (MW-HAD) as a dehydration method compared to conventional techniques (HAD) using response surface methodology (RSM). Additionally, the produced red cabbage juice powder (RCJP) was used to enrich the pancake formulation. The developed model exhibited a high degree of reliability with optimal conditions and was determined for microwave power, temperature, foaming agent carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and egg white protein (EWP) as 360 W, 60°C, 0.3%, and 1.2%, respectively. Moisture content (%) was decreased from 93.47 to 8.62 at optimum process conditions. In comparison to the control (60°C), foam mat drying with the MW-HAD hybrid system reduced the drying time (DT) by more than 90.9% due to the higher drying rate, while many physicochemical properties, especially total anthocyanin content (TAC), were better preserved. Utilization of RCJP in the production of anthocyanin-rich functional pancakes resulted in enhanced nutritional qualities compared to control pancakes with increased protein (35.07%), total phenolic (75.8%), dietary fiber (82.9%), and anthocyanin content (100%). In conclusion, MW-HAD demonstrates significant potential as a promising drying method to reduce the DT and preserve the physicochemical properties of RCJP. Furthermore, the application of the optimized RCJP in anthocyanin-rich functional pancakes highlights improved nutritional qualities, making a substantial contribution to the advancement of functional foods.

Abstract
Hydrocolloids are widely used in food processing because of their texture-forming abilities, which help to preserve the quality of sensitive compounds, e.g., in dried fruit foams, which have recently emerged in healthier alternative snacks. Our aim was to investigate the protective role of maltodextrin in improving the storage stability of fruit foams. This study evaluated the effect of maltodextrin concentrations on the stability of the following quality parameters: anthocyanins, ascorbic acid, color, texture, and sensory perception of dried foamed raspberry pulp during storage. This study compared three concentrations (5%, 15%, and 30% w/w) of maltodextrin in mixtures, evaluating their effect on the stability of these parameters over a 12-week storage period. The foam samples were stored at 37 °C to accelerate chemical reactions under vacuum packaging conditions which excluded oxygen. The addition of 30% maltodextrin to the raspberry pulp blend resulted in the highest retentions in all compounds tested, i.e., 74% for ascorbic acid and 87% for anthocyanins. Color and texture were similarly preserved. Adding 30% maltodextrin to the mixture did not negatively influence the acceptability of sensory perception. Maltodextrin thus represents an effective protective agent for preserving nutritional and sensory qualities for a longer storage period. Hence, using MD together with potato protein was optimal for enhancing the storage stability of fruit foam, which is important for the food industry.

Abstract
The effect of reaction conditions, which comprised the reaction temperature (150-190°C), processing time (0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 2.00, and 2.50 h), pH (5.0, 7.0, and 9.5), and concentration (0.03-0.07 mol/L) of L-ascorbic acid (ASA), on the degradation of ASA was investigated in hot-compressed water (HCW). The degradation kinetics of ASA and generation kinetics of browning products (BPs) were studied. The results showed that ASA degradation conformed to the pseudo-first-order kinetics, and the formation of BPs was closely related to the concentration of H3O+ in HCW. The acidic condition (pH = 5.0) and lower concentration of ASA (0.03 mol/L) were more favorable for ASA degradation. In HCW, the average apparent activation energy (Ea) of ASA was 15.77, 31.70, and 47.53 kJ/mol at pH 5.0, 7.0, and 9.5, respectively. The possible degradation mechanisms of ASA and the generation of BPs in HCW were proposed based on the experimental results.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the effect of gum arabic (GA) edible coating pretreatment on the quality of dried red raspberries. Red raspberries were independently pretreated with varied concentrations of GA (3, 5, and 10% (w/v) by dipping for 2 min before oven-drying at 60 °C until the moisture content was below 8% (18–24 h). Raspberries dipped in distilled water were used as the control samples. Quality attributes including colour, moisture content, water activity (aw), hardness, hygroscopicity, rehydration capacity, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), pH, anthocyanin composition, ascorbic acid (AA) content, total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity, peroxidase (POD), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme activity were investigated. GA pretreatment of the raspberries improved the aw (lower), hardness (lower), TSS, TSS/TA ratio, BrimA, AA content, and TPC, whilst it significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the colour properties (redness, chroma, hue angle, and total colour differences) and the total anthocyanin content when compared with the control samples. The DPPH radical scavenging activity, POD, and PPO enzymes residual activities were not significantly (p > 0.05) affected by GA pretreatment. Five different types of anthocyanins, including cyanidin dihexoside, cyanidin 3-O-galactoside, cyanidin 3-O-glucosyl-rutinoside, and cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside were identified and quantified with cyanidin dihexoside being the primary anthocyanin, varying from 951.18–1053.70 µg/g DM. GA pretreatment of raspberries between 3 and 5% could result in improved physicochemical, antioxidant properties and minimum loss of anthocyanins.

Abstract
Advanced ready-to-eat foods, which can be consumed directly or only need simple processed before consumption, refer to the products that processing with cutting-edge food science and technology and have better quality attribute. Cold chain and chemical addition are commonly used options to ensure microbial safety of high moisture advanced ready-to-eat foods. However, this requires freezing/thawing processing at high cost or has undesirable residue. Dehydration treatment has the potential to compensate those shortcomings. This article reviewed the positive effects of dehydration on advanced ready-to-eat foods, current application status of dehydration technologies, novel dehydration related technologies and the pathogenic bacteria control of products. It is observed that dehydration treatment is receiving increasing attention for ready-to-eat foods including space foods, 3 D-printed personalized foods and formula foods for special medical purposes. Recently developed drying technologies such as pulsed spouted microwave freeze-drying and infrared freeze-drying have attracted much interest due to their excellent drying characteristics. Finally, intelligent drying, dehydration-nano-hybridization and dehydration-induced multi-dimensional modification technology are some of the emerging R and D areas in this field.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of incorporation of apple puree and maltodextrin to agar sol on the sorption properties and structure of the dried gel. The effect of different drying methods on the sorption behaviour of aerated apple puree gels was also observed. The gels with the addition of 25% and 40% concentration of apple puree and with or without maltodextrin were prepared and dried. The foamed agar gel was subjected to freeze-drying, air-drying and vacuum-drying. The sorption properties of dried gels (adsorption isotherms, water uptake in time) were investigated. The relations between the glass transition temperature, water activity and water content were also obtained for some apple snacks. The increase in apple puree in freeze-dried gels increased the hygroscopicity and decreased the glass transition temperature (Tg). The water content at given activity and hygroscopicity were reduced by the addition of maltodextrin, which also caused the increase in Tg. The application of different drying methods enabled obtaining different structures of material. The open-pore, fragile materials were obtained by freeze-drying, the expanded matrix with big holes was characteristic for vacuum-dried gels, but the closed pores with thick walls were created during the air-drying.

Applications of Plant Polymer-Based Solid Foams: Current Trends in the Food Industry. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2021.

Abstract
Foams are a type of material of great importance, having an extensive range of applications due to a combination of several characteristics, such as ultra-low density, tunable porous architecture, and outstanding mechanical properties. The production of polymer foams worldwide is dominated by those based on synthetic polymers, which might be biodegradable or non-biodegradable. The latter is a great environmental concern and has become a major waste management problem. Foams derived from renewable resources have aroused the interest of researchers, solid foams made from plant polymers in particular. This review focuses on the development of plant polymer-based solid foams and their applications in the food industry over the last fifteen years, highlighting the relationship between their material and structural properties. The applications of these foams fall mainly into two categories: edible foams and packaging materials. Most plant polymers utilized for edible applications are protein-based, while starch and cellulose are commonly used to produce food packaging materials because of their ready availability and low cost. However, plant polymer-based solid foams exhibit some drawbacks related to their high water absorbency and poor mechanical properties. Most research has concentrated on improving these two physical properties, though few studies give a solid understanding and comprehension of the micro- to macrostructural modifications that would allow for the proper handling and design of foaming processes. There are, therefore, several challenges to be faced, the control of solid foam structural properties being the main one.

Abstract
Freeze-drying is one of the most expensive and most energy intensive processes applied in food technology. Therefore, there have been significant efforts to reduce the freeze-drying time and decrease its energy consumption. The aim of this work was to analyze the effect of pulsed electric field (PEF), ultrasound (US), and hybrid treatment (PEF-US) and compare them with the effect of blanching (BL) on the freeze-drying kinetics, energy consumption, greenhouse gasses emission, and physical quality of the product. The freeze-drying process was applied to red bell peppers after pretreatment operations. Results showed that application of BL, PEF, US, or PEF-US reduces freeze-drying time and decreases energy consumption. Among the tested methods, the combination of PEF performed at 1 kJ/kg and US was the most effective in reduction of greenhouse gas emission. BL samples exhibited the highest porosity, but from a statistical point of view, most of the PEF-US treated materials did not differ from it. The smallest color changes were noted for US pre-treated bell peppers (ΔE = 9.4), whereas BL, PEF, and PEF-US material was characterized by ΔE of 15.2–28.5. Performed research indicates the application of pre-treatment may improve the sustainability of freeze-drying process and quality of freeze-dried bell pepper.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated previously in the literature that utilization of PEF or a combination of a pulsed electric field (PEF) and ultrasounds (US) can facilitate dehydration processes and improve the quality of dried products even better than the application of thermal methods such as blanching. The aim of the study was to evaluate the quality of red bell pepper subjected to freeze-drying preceded by blanching or PEF or US treatment applied in a single and combined mode. Furthermore, the freeze-drying was preceded by shock freezing or vacuum freezing performed inside the freeze-dryer as a result of pressure drop during the first stage of freeze-drying. All of the analyzed technological variants enhanced the drying kinetics when compared to the intact material. Freeze-dried bell pepper subjected to non-thermal pretreatment exhibited higher vitamin C, total phenolic and carotenoids content than blanched material despite the fact that blanching reduced drying time the most compared to all other analyzed methods.

Abstract
Various drying techniques play an important role in foodstuff preservation. However, the role of different drying techniques on garlic quality is limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of vacuum freeze-drying (VFD), hot air drying (HAD), infrared hot air drying (IRHAD), relative humidity drying (RHD) and pulsed vacuum drying (PVD) on the physical, rehydration, flavor, bioactive compounds and antioxidant characteristics of garlic slices. Results showed that garlic slices treated with VFD had an attractive color, low shrinkage, low hardness, and the lowest rehydration capacity. The volume shrinkage ratio, thermal stability and storage stability of garlic slices after HAD were the highest. Different dried garlic samples had different specific flavor fingerprints. IRHAD and RHD dried samples showed the highest rehydration capacity, content of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity. The findings could provide a scientific basis to help in future large-scale production of good quality dried garlic products.

Foods 2020; 9:foods9101464. [PMID: 33066677 PMCID: PMC7602416 DOI: 10.3390/foods9101464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2020] [Revised: 10/12/2020] [Accepted: 10/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV)-dried broccoli, oranges, and carrots prepared by the optimal drying protocols determined in this study were compared to the freeze-dried and air-dried samples based on the nutritional values before and after drying. An accelerated shelf-life study for REV-dried broccoli, oranges, and carrots was also conducted. For all the samples, REV drying significantly shortened the processing time. The REV-dried samples had much higher retention of the nutritional values (vitamin C, β-carotene) compared to the conventional air-drying process, and the values were also competitive to those of the freeze-dried samples. Although freeze-drying resulted in the best rehydration property, the REV-dried samples still earned the highest scores in the sensory test. In the accelerated shelf-life study conducted on the REV-dried samples, the moisture content and water activity stayed at the same level, but the nutritional values showed a downward trend. The sensory properties fluctuated in the shelf-life but still gained positive feedback from the panelists. Moreover, the testing method for β-carotene content was uniquely designed in this project and could be a semi-quantitative method to refer to.

Abstract
AbstractApplication of an aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) to the volatiles isolated from raspberry fruits by solvent extraction and solvent-assisted flavour evaporation (SAFE) resulted in 40 odour-active compounds with flavour dilution (FD) factors between 1 and 4096. Among the most potent odorants were violet-like smelling β-ionone (FD factor 4096), fruity smelling methyl 3-methylbutanoate (1024), baked-apple-like smelling β-damascenone (1024), raspberry-like smelling raspberry ketone (128), and floral, raspberry-like smelling α-ionone (64). These five odorants were subsequently monitored during processing of raspberry fruits to freeze-dried fruit foam. Major losses occurred during separation of the pulp from the seeds and during the final freeze-drying step. It was shown that the pulp fraction directly adherent to the seeds contained higher odorant concentrations than the outer parts of the pulp, thus losses associated with the removal of the seeds can be minimised by increasing the efficiency of the separation. Losses associated with the freeze-drying process could be reduced using microwave-assisted freeze drying instead of conventional freeze drying. Higher amounts of potato protein and maltodextrin used as foaming agent and foam stabiliser, respectively, reduced the odorant recoveries in the dried foams. Only a small part of the odorants not recovered in the dried fruit foams was found in the condensate.

Abstract
Kiwifruit is an excellent source of vitamin C and other bioactive compounds, which contribute to its high antioxidant activity. However, the fruits with small size and low weight are considered waste and are unprofitable; therefore, the production of healthy kiwifruit-based dried snacks, which contain a lot of health-beneficial ingredients, could be a viable alternative for their use. The aim of this study was to develop formulations and methods to produce attractive and nutritionally valuable dried snacks based on yellow kiwifruit. Three different puree formulations (kiwifruit; fennel; and strawberry, lemon, or spinach) with or without addition of sugar were subjected to two drying methods: freeze-drying (fruit bars) and conventional hot air drying (fruit leathers). The obtained products were analysed for their content of total polyphenols (TPs), flavonoids, and vitamin C, as well as their antioxidant activity. The results showed that snacks prepared by freeze-drying (fruit bars) presented higher TP, vitamin C, and flavonoids content than those prepared by convective drying; however, the antioxidant activity did not always follow this trend. The amount of bioactive compounds depended on the formulation used for the preparation of snacks. The effect of the sugar addition seems to be strictly related to the mix used and specific bioactive compound investigated.
