Evidence that carbohydrate-to-fat ratio and taste, but not energy density or NOVA level of processing, are determinants of food liking and food reward. Appetite 2024; 193:107124. [PMID: 37980953 DOI: 10.1016/j.appet.2023.107124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
This virtual (online) study tested the common but largely untested assumptions that food energy density, level of processing (NOVA categories), and carbohydrate-to-fat (CF) ratio are key determinants of food reward. Individual participants (224 women and men, mean age 35 y, 53% with healthy weight, 43% with overweight or obesity) were randomised to one of three, within-subjects, study arms: energy density (32 foods), or level of processing (24 foods), or CF ratio (24 foods). They rated the foods for taste pleasantness (liking), desire to eat (food reward), and sweetness, saltiness, and flavour intensity (for analysis averaged as taste intensity). Against our hypotheses, there was not a positive relationship between liking or food reward and either energy density or level of processing. As hypothesised, foods combining more equal energy amounts of carbohydrate and fat (combo foods), and foods tasting more intense, scored higher on both liking and food reward. Further results were that CF ratio, taste intensity, and food fibre content (negatively), independent of energy density, accounted for 56% and 43% of the variance in liking and food reward, respectively. We interpret the results for CF ratio and fibre in terms of food energy-to-satiety ratio (ESR), where ESR for combo foods is high, and ESR for high-fibre foods is low. We suggest that the metric of ESR should be considered when designing future studies of effects of food composition on food reward, preference, and intake.

Abstract
In this review, the rehydration kinetics model, the quality factors affecting of vegetables during rehydration process, the future challenges and development direction of rehydration process were comprehensively analyzed. Based on the fitting equation for the change in moisture content during rehydration, a suitable rehydration model can be selected to describe the rehydration process of vegetables. Optimal pre-treatment, drying and rehydration methods were selected by considering quality, energy consumption and environmental aspects, and new technologies were developed to improve the quality characteristics of rehydrated vegetables. It is necessary to classify vegetables according to their shape and type to establish the criteria of rehydration processing through mathematical modeling. Industrial production from pre-treatment to product packaging will be precisely adjusted through process parameters. Furthermore, improvements the quality of rehydrated vegetables can be considered in terms of the structural and compositional aspects of the cell wall and cell membrane.

Abstract
Microwave (MW) heating is a unique approach that, unlike conduction- and convection-based heating, can provide volumetric heating. Complex microstructural changes in food materials occur because of simultaneous heat and mass transfer during drying, significantly affecting food structure and quality. Food properties, drying methods, and other drying parameters all have an impact on the microstructure of food samples, which in turn affects drying kinetics and food quality. However, no study has been undertaken to investigate the development of nano-micro-pores (NM-pores) on the cell walls and their relationship with the moisture migration mechanism. This study presents a novel investigation of the microstructural changes in food during microwave drying, with a focus on the formation of nano-micro-pores (NM-pores) on cell walls and their impact on moisture transport kinetics. The utilized hot air was maintained at a temperature of 70 °C, whereas microwave (MW) power levels of 100 W, 200 W, 300 W, and 400 W were used in microwave drying. The findings of the study indicate that the development of NM-pores occurs only during intermittent microwave drying (IMCD), while the cell wall of the food samples tends to burn or collapse in continuous microwave drying (CMD) due to the high heat generated. Additionally, no NM-pores were observed in the cell wall during convective drying. During IMCD with microwave power ranging from 100 W to 400 W, a range of pore sizes from 0.1 μm to 8.5 μm were observed. Due to the formation of NM-pores and collapses, MW drying takes around 10-20 times less time than convective drying to remove the same quantity of moisture. The effective moisture diffusivity values were found to be the highest in CMD at 4.70 × 10-07 m2/s and the lowest in CD at 2.43 × 10-09 m2/s. IMCD showed a moderate diffusivity of 2.45 × 10-08 m2/s. This study investigates the formation of NM-pores on cell walls during microwave drying and their impact on moisture transport kinetics and establishes correlations between microstructure modifications and moisture migration pathways.

Kian-Pour N. Effect of Biopolymer Dip-Coating Pretreatments as a Non-Thermal Green Technology on Physicochemical Characteristics, Drying, and Rehydration Kinetics of Santa Maria Pears. Foods 2023; 12:2466. [PMID: 37444204 DOI: 10.3390/foods12132466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
This research was conducted to determine the influences of biopolymer dip-coating pretreatments as a non-thermal green technology on the drying behavior, retention of bioactive compounds, and quality properties of pears. The fresh pears were washed, peeled, and diced into cubes of 5 × 5 mm with a 2 mm thickness and were dipped into 0.3% (w/v) solutions of sodium alginate (SA), pectin (PC), xanthan gum (XG), Arabic gum (AG), and gelatin (GE) before hot air drying (70 °C, 2.0 m/s). The weight loss of samples during drying was recorded online, and the moisture ratio (MR) and drying rate were plotted against drying time. Biopolymers significantly decreased the drying time (maximum 33.33% by SA) compared with uncoated samples except for XG. Moisture diffusion coefficients were determined according to Fick's second law of diffusion by plotting LnMR against drying time, and a linear regression analysis was applied to the data for the determination of moisture diffusion coefficients which ranged from 2.332 to 3.256 × 10-9 m2/s. The molecular transport of momentum, heat, and mass were determined from Newton's law of viscosity, Fourier's law, and Fick's law, respectively. The results indicated that the friction drag force, convective heat, and mass transfer coefficients were 6.104 × 10-6 N, 76.55 W/m2·K, and 0.0636 m/s, respectively. Mathematical modeling showed the suitability of the Midilli and Kucuk and the Peleg models for the prediction of drying and rehydration processes, respectively. Thermal conductivity, specific heat, and density of coated samples ranged from 0.559-0.579 (W/m·K), 3735-3859 (J/kg·K), and 850.90-883.26 (Kg/m3), respectively. The porosity was reduced due to the penetration of biopolymers into the cellular matrix of samples. The highest total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity belonged to the AG samples. The biopolymers covering the surface of samples produced a protection layer against the loss of bioactive compounds. Biopolymers can be successfully used as a non-thermal green process for improving the drying and quality characteristics of pears at the industrial level.

Abstract
Gastric distension and detection of macronutrients (calories) in the gut are determinants of satiation and satiety. We tested effects of these variables on body sensations after eating, and their connection with visual-analogue scale (VAS) hunger and fullness ratings. Participants completed VAS ratings and quality and location of body sensations tasks after consumption of milk chocolate (38 g, 200 kcal) versus fresh apple fruit matched for weight (38 g, 20 kcal) and matched for calories (380 g, 200 kcal). Effects of food weight (380 vs 38 g) were large and located predominantly in the abdominal region. They also occupied a greater body area and occurred sooner after eating than effects related to calories (200 vs 20 kcal). The same pattern was apparent in the results from the quality of sensations task. VAS ratings indicated that hunger was affected by food volume and calories, whereas fullness was affected primarily by food volume. Together, these results provide evidence of dissociation of the perceived after-effects of food ingestion related to food volume and food calorie content in humans. Additionally, the studies demonstrate the utility of two rarely used, semi-quantitative tasks, which generate information on the identity, intensity, valence, and location of eating-related sensations.

Abstract
In tandem with the population and economic growth worldwide, the scale of wastewater treatment has been increasing each year. Thus, a large amount of sludge is being produced. If the problem of sludge treatment and disposal cannot be effectively solved, it will cause serious environmental pollution. The premise of sludge drying is that sludge is "harmless" and can be "recycled." Currently, the studies on convective drying focus on the direction of thin-layer drying, fluidized bed drying, spray drying and pneumatic drying. This paper systematically reviews the convective drying technology of sludge. First, the effects of air velocity temperature, relative humidity and particle size on the drying effect are precisely described, as well as the four different drying stages in the drying process, including preheating, constant rate drying, first falling rate drying, and second falling rate drying stages. Second, the research progress of different convective drying treatment technologies and the application of eight mathematical models of thin-layer drying in this field are elaborated. The effects of sludge shrinkage formation mechanisms and sludge viscous resistance generation during the drying process are also discussed in detail. The formation mechanism of sludge shrinkage and the effect of sludge viscosity resistance during drying are also elaborated. Finally, the main dry tail gases and restraining methods are elaborated during the drying process. This paper will provide a structured reference for the related research of sludge convective drying in the future.

Abstract
The plant kingdom is an endless source of molecules that can be applied in almost all realms of society. The food industry has profited from the use of plants and their derived materials for many decades. Recently, the food industry has been looking into plants to find different ways of either preserving, coloring or sweetening foods. In this work, leaf extracts of Arbutus unedo L. obtained by dynamic maceration and ultrasound assisted extraction with prior optimization of their extraction conditions through the response-surface methodology, were incorporated in quark cheese as natural preservatives and analyzed over 8 days of shelf-life. Both extracts showed antioxidant activity with no toxicity towards primary cell lines at the maximum tested concentration, as well as antibacterial activity, especially against Gram-positive strains. After their incorporation in quark cheese, no significant changes were observed in the nutritional profile and physical traits of the quark cheeses, while the microbial load was highly reduced in the cheese, especially using the extracts obtained from dynamic maceration. Thus, leaf extracts of A. unedo can be promising candidates for use in the food industry as natural preservatives.

Abstract
Soft material can undergo non-uniform deformation or change of shape upon processing. Identifying shape and its change is nevertheless not straightforward. In this study, novel image-based algorithm that can be used to identify shapes of input images and at the same time classify non-uniform deformation into various patterns, i.e., swelling/shrinkage, horizontal and vertical elongations/contractions as well as convexity and concavity, is proposed. The algorithm was first tested with computer-generated images and later applied to agar cubes, which were used as model shrinkable soft material, undergoing drying at different temperatures. Shape parameters and shape-parameter based algorithm as well as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) either incorrectly identified some complicated shapes or could only identify the point where non-uniform deformation started to take place; CNNs lacked ability to describe non-uniform deformation evolution. Shape identification accuracy of the newly developed algorithm against computer-generated images was 65.88%, while those of the other tested algorithms ranged from 34.76 to 97.88%. However, when being applied to the deformation of agar cubes, the developed algorithm performed superiorly to the others. The proposed algorithm could both identify the shapes and describe their changes. The interpretation agreed well with that via visual observation.

Abstract
Waste in the food supply chain is estimated to be about 30-40% of the total food production, which aggravates the world hunger and increases waste management burden and environmental impact. Despite the dire food scarcity, majority of this food waste takes place in developing countries because of the lack of appropriate and affordable preservation techniques. Traditional open sun drying is the most popular food-reservation technique to the local farmers due to near-zero capital cost and cheap labor cost. However, this method is highly energy intensive, unhygienic, and time demanding. The high energy consumption resulting from uncontrolled simultaneous heat, mass, and momentum transfer processes in traditional drying systems highlights the necessity of pursuing sustainability in drying process targeting reduced energy consumption, environmental and social impacts. This paper presents a comprehensive review on the sustainable food drying technologies based on renewable energy sources, with emphasis on the developing countries. It was observed that the integration of thermal energy storage with heat pump makes the integrated drying system more efficient, and dries food with better quality. Likewise, advanced integrated drying systems, such as, solar with microwave, and heat pump with microwave make the drying process more cost and quality competent. Finally, impact of resource distribution and governmental incentives for renewable energy use in sustainable drying is discussed.
