Muroki MW, Waswa LM, Fungo R, Kabwama A, Eric N, Nepomuscene N, Ndabashinze B, Mahungu SM. Sensory properties of selected biofortified common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris) varieties grown in Burundi. Food Sci Nutr 2024; 12:3199-3213. [PMID: 38726439 PMCID: PMC11077167 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.3988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The dry common bean is an important grain legume used for human consumption worldwide. In Eastern Africa, Burundi has a significantly high per capita consumption of the crop. There has been significant research on the underlying agronomic traits of dry biofortified common beans, such as disease resistance. However, there is limited systematic information describing the sensory properties of these bean varieties, particularly in Burundi. This study evaluated the sensory properties of eight cooked dry biofortified common bean varieties using a panel of fifty-four (fourteen plus forty) persons for descriptive sensory evaluation and consumer acceptability tests. Kinure, a traditional non-biofortified common bean variety, was the control. Based on differences in the attributes of the bean varieties, two-dimensional principal component analysis (PCA) explained 58.94% of the variation. The attributes of astringency, consistency, color, juiciness, beany aroma, stickiness, and bean size contributed mostly to the differentiation of the bean varieties. A 95% PCA prediction ellipse displayed stronger congruity in the descriptive attributes of NUV130, NUV91, RWV1129, RWV1272, and RWR2245. In contrast, a deviation in the descriptive attributes of MAC44, MAC70, and RWR2154 was discerned. Regarding consumer acceptability tests, the varieties RWR2245 and MAC44 garnered significantly higher (p < .05) sensory scores on color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. Therefore, the physical traits of cooked biofortified common bean varieties are a major contributor to varietal disparities in consumer acceptance studies. These parameters can greatly impact the adoption of dry biofortified common beans and could be of concern to common bean breeders.

[PMID: 38472876 DOI: 10.3390/foods13050763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
This research introduced an energy-efficient drying method combining hot-air drying with stepwise microwave heating for producing quick-cooking red beans. Crucial parameters such as the effective diffusivity coefficient (De), and specific energy consumption (SEC) were examined across varying conditions with the aim of optimizing the drying condition. The results showed that De and SEC varied in a range of 0.53 × 10-9-3.18 × 10-9 m2·s-1 and 16.58-68.06 MJ·(kg·h-1)-1, respectively. The findings from the response surface methodology indicated that optimal drying conditions for cooked red beans are achieved at a hot air temperature of 90 °C, a microwave power of 450 W (corresponding to an initial intensity of 2.25 W·g-1), and a rotational speed of 0.2 Hz. These conditions lead to the maximum effective diffusivity coefficient and the lowest specific energy consumption. Further investigations into step-up (150-300 W to 300-450 W) and step-down (300-450 W to 150-300 W) microwave heating modes were conducted to refine the drying process for enhanced energy efficiency. The synthetic evaluation index revealed that step-down microwave heating strategies of 450 W-to-150 W and 300 W-to-150 W, applied at a temperature of 90 °C and a rotational speed of 0.2 Hz, were notably effective. These methods successfully minimized energy use while preserving the quality attributes of the final product, which were comparable to those of traditionally cooked and freeze-dried red beans. The combined approach of hot-air drying with step-down microwave heating presents a promising, energy-saving technique for producing quick-cooking beans that retain their rehydration qualities and texture.

Application of emerging thermal and nonthermal technologies for improving textural properties of food grains: A critical review. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2024; 23:e13286. [PMID: 38284581 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Emerging nonthermal and thermal food processing technologies are a better alternative to conventional thermal processing techniques because they offer high-quality, minimally processed food. Texture is important in the food industry because it encompasses several product attributes and plays a vital role in consumer acceptance. Therefore, it is imperative to analyze the extent to which these technologies influence the textural attributes of food grains. Physical forces produced by cavitation are attributed to ultrasound treatment-induced changes in the conformational and structural properties of food proteins. Pulsed electric field treatment causes polarization of starch granules, damaging the dense outer layer of starch granules and decreasing the mechanical strength of starch. Prolonged radio frequency heating results in the denaturation of proteins and gelatinization of starch, thus reducing binding tendency during cooking. Microwave energy induces rapid removal of water from the product surface, resulting in lower bulk density, low shrinkage, and a porous structure. However, evaluating the influence of these techniques on food grain texture is difficult owing to differences in their primary operation mode, operating conditions, and equipment design. To maximize the advantages of nonthermal and thermal technologies, in-depth research should be conducted on their effects on the textural properties of different food grains while ensuring the selection of appropriate operating conditions for each food grain type. This article summarizes all recent developments in these emerging processing technologies for food grains, discusses their potential applications and drawbacks, and presents prospects for future developments in food texture enhancement.

Development of thermoultrasound assisted blanching to improve enzyme inactivation efficiency, drying characteristics, energy consumption, and physiochemical properties of sweet potatoes. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 101:106670. [PMID: 37922719 PMCID: PMC10643530 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
Thermoultrasound (USB) as a promising alternative to traditional hot water (HWB) blanching was employed to blanch sweet potatoes and its influence on enzyme activity, drying behavior, energy consumption and physiochemical properties of sweet potatoes were investigated. Results showed that successive increases in blanching temperature and time resulted in significant (p < 0.05) decreases in PPO and POD activities. Compared to HWB, USB led to more effective drying by promoting texture softening, moisture diffusion, microstructure alterations, and microchannels formation, which significantly reduced energy consumption and improved the overall quality of the dried sample. Specifically, USB at 65 °C for 15 min improved water holding capacity and ABTS, while USB at 65 °C for 30 min improved color (more red and yellow), total phenolic content, total carotenoid content, and DPPH. Unfortunately, blanching process showed detrimental effects on the amino acid composition of dried samples. Overall, the development of thermoultrasound assisted blanching for sweet potatoes has the potential to revolutionize the processing and production of high-quality sweet potato products, while also improving the sustainability of food processing operations.

Abstract
Kidney beans (KBs), as a traditional edible legume, are an important food crop of high nutritional and economic value worldwide. KBs contain a full range of amino acids and a high proportion of essential amino acids, and are rich in carbohydrates as well as vitamins and minerals. However, KBs contain a variety of non-nutritional factors that impede the digestion and absorption of nutrients, disrupt normal metabolism and produce allergic reactions, which severely limit the exploitation of KBs and related products. Suppressing or removing the activity of non-nutritional factors through different processing methods can effectively improve the application value of KBs and expand the market prospect of their products. The aim of this review was to systematically summarize the main types of non-nutritional factors in KBs and their mechanisms of action, and to elucidate the effects of different food processing techniques on non-nutritional factors. The databases utilized for the research included Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus. We considered all original indexed studies written in English and published between 2012 and 2023. We also look forward to the future research direction of producing KB products with low non-nutritional factors, which will provide theoretical basis and foundation for the development of safer and healthier KB products.

Abstract
Plant polysaccharides, as significant functional macromolecules with diverse biological properties, are currently receiving increasing attention. Drying technologies play a pivotal role in the research, development, and application of various foods and plant polysaccharides. The chemical composition, structure, and function of extracted polysaccharides are significantly influenced by different drying technologies (e.g., microwave, infrared, and radio frequency) and conditions (e.g., temperature). This study discusses and compares the principles, advantages, disadvantages, and effects of different drying processes on the chemical composition as well as structural and biological properties of plant polysaccharides. In most plant-based raw materials, molecular degradation, molecular aggregation phenomena along with intermolecular interactions occurring within cell wall components and cell contents during drying represent primary mechanisms leading to variations in chemical composition and structures of polysaccharides. These differences further impact their biological properties. The biological properties of polysaccharides are determined by a combination of multiple relevant factors rather than a single factor alone. This review not only provides insights into selecting appropriate drying processes to obtaining highly bioactive plant polysaccharides but also offers a fundamental theoretical basis for the structure-function relationship of these compounds.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of microwave power and hot air temperature on various physicochemical properties of ginger dried by the microwave hot-air rolling drying (MHARD). The result showed that the increase of both two conditions significantly accelerated the drying. The increased microwave power from 0.6 to 0.9 W/g caused more damaged microstructure, facilitated the released starches, and improved the released bioactive compounds, leading an increased antioxidant activity. However, these compounds were degraded once it further increased to 1.2 W/g. The increased hot air temperature from 60 to 70 °C contributed to the retention of compounds while its further increase to 80 °C caused those degradations. Meanwhile, increased hot air temperature led to decreased relative crystallinity by promoting starch gelatinization. The aromatic profile could be tailored by altering microwave power and hot air temperature. This work aims to provide insights to future researchers on the development ginger products using the MHARD technique.

Abstract
Turmeric is an herb with multiple bioactive substances and health benefits. Drying is one of the most important steps of its processing and sales. In order to obtain high-quality turmeric products, we used five different pretreatment methods to treat turmeric prior to pulse-spouted microwave vacuum drying (PSMVD), including carboxymethyl cellulose coating (CMC), pectin coating (P), ultrasound (US) and their combination (CMCUS or PUS). The effect of different pretreatments on the drying kinetics, quality attributes and microstructure of turmeric were evaluated. Results showed that the US pretreatment had the shortest drying time (60 min), while coating treatment did not significantly affect drying rate. Dried turmeric with coating pretreatment had lower rehydration ratio and water adsorption capacity compared with individual ultrasound treatment. Carboxymethyl cellulose coating protected bioactive substances better than pectin coating. Moreover, CMCUS pretreatment showed significantly lower total color change, higher curcumin content, total phenols and flavonoid content as well as antioxidant capacity in all dried samples. Microstructure observation showed that the polysaccharide coating covering the surface of turmeric might reduce the degradation of bioactive compounds. Therefore, the CMCUS pretreatment before PSMVD of turmeric was recommended due to the efficiency and quality protections.
