Structural change kinetics, drying characteristics, antioxidant properties, and the correlation between quality parameters of dried duckweed (Wolffia arrhiza (L.) Wimm) affected by different levels of microwave power. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2023; 103:4371-4379. [PMID: 36788441 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.12501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Duckweed is considered as a future food material due to its fast growth, high yield, high nutritional value, and low impact on land use. However, in its fresh form, it has high moisture content (95% wet basis), resulting in a short shelf life. In this study, microwave drying (MWD) was conducted to produce a shelf-stable duckweed with minimal loss of quality. Drying characteristics and quality aspects of dried duckweed were assessed. Reaction order kinetics, including zero and first order, was applied to describe structural changes during drying process. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) was used to select the appropriate drying conditions. RESULTS Of five drying models, the Midilli-Kucuk model was the one that best described the drying process. Drying at high microwave power could reduce energy consumption and increase energy efficiency. Increasing both microwave power and drying time increased the structural shrinkage rate as described by first-order reaction kinetics. High correlations among quality parameters were observed using Pearson's correlation. Drying treatments were differentiated into two main clusters by HCA and the results showed that MWD at 720 and 900 W provided samples that were closer in terms of quality to a freeze dried sample (the positive control) than samples that had been subjected to MWD at 450 W. CONCLUSION Drying behaviors of duckweed were well-described by the Midilli-Kucuk model. Microwave drying at 900 W gave the lowest energy consumption and displayed the most efficient use of energy. The first-order equation could be used effectively to describe the structural changes in the duckweed. Microwave drying at 720 and 900 W was the appropriate drying condition according to the HCA classification. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to evaluate the structure of novel potato-based snack foods supplemented with various levels of fresh carrot pulp by using X-ray micro-computed tomography, texture profile, and sensory analysis. Three different methods of extruded snack pellets expansion were used to obtain ready-to-eat crisps: deep-fat frying, microwave, and hot-air toasting. The obtained results revealed that the pellets expansion method affected the porosity, size of pores and wall thickness, texture properties, and notes of sensory analyses of the obtained crisps. Deep-fat frying had a similar influence to microwave heating on ready-to-eat crisps properties, and both methods were significantly different in comparison to hot-air toasting. Crisps based on snack pellets supplemented with the addition of fresh carrot pulp in the amount of 10 to 30% expansion through hot-air heating showed unsatisfactory expansion and texture, but it is highly advisable to use deep-fat frying and microwave heating to achieve attractive potato-carrot crisps.

Abstract
Fresh-cut fruits and vegetables are healthy and convenient ready-to-eat foods, and the final quality is related to the raw materials and each step of the cutting unit. It is necessary to integrate suitable intelligent detection technologies into the production chain so as to inspect each operation to ensure high product quality. In this paper, several imaging technologies that can be applied online to the processing of fresh-cut products are reviewed, including: multispectral/hyperspectral imaging (M/HSI), fluorescence imaging (FI), X-ray imaging (XRI), ultrasonic imaging, thermal imaging (TI), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), terahertz imaging, and microwave imaging (MWI). The principles, advantages, and limitations of these imaging technologies are critically summarized. The potential applications of these technologies in online quality control and detection during the fresh-cut processing are comprehensively discussed, including quality of raw materials, contamination of cutting equipment, foreign bodies mixed in the processing, browning and microorganisms of the cutting surface, quality/shelf-life evaluation, and so on. Finally, the challenges and future application prospects of imaging technology in industrialization are presented.

Abstract
Drying of porous media is governed by a combination of evaporation and movement of the liquid phase within the porous structure. Contact angle hysteresis induced by surface roughness is shown to influence multi-phase flows, such as contact line motion of droplet, phase distribution during drainage and coffee ring formed after droplet drying in constant contact radius mode. However, the influence of contact angle hysteresis on liquid drying in porous media is still an unanswered question. Lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) is an advanced numerical approach increasingly used to study phase change problems including drying. In this paper, based on a geometric formulation scheme to prescribe contact angle, we implement a contact angle hysteresis model within the framework of a two-phase pseudopotential LBM. The capability and accuracy of prescribing and automatically measuring contact angles over a large range are tested and validated by simulating droplets sitting on flat and curved surfaces. Afterward, the proposed contact angle hysteresis model is validated by modeling droplet drying on flat and curved surfaces. Then, drying of two connected capillary tubes is studied, considering the influence of different contact angle hysteresis ranges on drying dynamics. Finally, the model is applied to study drying of a dual-porosity porous medium, where phase distribution and drying rate are compared with and without contact angle hysteresis. The proposed model is shown to be capable of dealing with different contact angle hysteresis ranges accurately and of capturing the physical mechanisms during drying in different porous media including flat and curved geometries.

Utilization of Cumbeba ( Tacinga inamoena) Residue: Drying Kinetics and Effect of Process Conditions on Antioxidant Bioactive Compounds. Foods 2021; 10:788. [PMID: 33917616 PMCID: PMC8067508 DOI: 10.3390/foods10040788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2021] [Revised: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The residue generated from the processing of Tacinga inamoena (cumbeba) fruit pulp represents a large amount of material that is discarded without proper application. Despite that, it is a raw material that is source of ascorbic acid, carotenoids and phenolic compounds, which are valued in nutraceutical diets for allegedly combating free radicals generated in metabolism. This research paper presents a study focused on the mathematical modeling of drying kinetics and the effect of the process on the level of bioactive of cumbeba residue. The experiments of cumbeba residue drying (untreated or whole residue (WR), crushed residue (CR) and residue in the form of foam (FR)) were carried out in a fixed-bed dryer at four air temperatures (50, 60, 70 and 80 °C). Effective water diffusivity (Deff) was determined by the inverse method and its dependence on temperature was described by an Arrhenius-type equation. It was observed that, regardless of the type of pretreatment, the increase in air temperature resulted in higher rate of water removal. The Midilli model showed better simulation of cumbeba residue drying kinetics than the other models tested within the experimental temperature range studied. Effective water diffusivity (Deff) ranged from 6.4890 to 11.1900 × 10-6 m2/s, 2.9285 to 12.754 × 10-9 m2/s and 1.5393 × 10-8 to 12.4270 × 10-6 m2/s with activation energy of 22.3078, 46.7115 and 58.0736 kJ/mol within the temperature range of 50-80 °C obtained for the whole cumbeba, crushed cumbeba and cumbeba residue in the form of foam, respectively. In relation to bioactive compounds, it was observed that for a fixed temperature the whole residue had higher retention of bioactive compounds, especially phenolic compounds, whereas the crushed residue and the residue in the form of foam had intermediate and lower levels, respectively. This study provides evidence that cumbeba residue in its whole form can be used for the recovery of natural antioxidant bioactive compounds, mainly phenolic compounds, with the possibility of application in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Volume change and large deformation occur in different solid and semi-solid foods during processing, e.g., shrinkage of fruits and vegetables during drying and of meat during cooking, swelling of grains during hydration, and expansion of dough during baking and of snacks during extrusion and puffing. In addition, food is broken down during oral processing. Such phenomena are the result of complex and dynamic relationships between composition and structure of foods, and driving forces established by processes and operating conditions. In particular, water plays a key role as plasticizer, strongly influencing the state of amorphous materials via the glass transition and, thus, their mechanical properties. Therefore, it is important to improve the understanding about these complex phenomena and to develop useful prediction tools. For this aim, different modelling approaches have been applied in the food engineering field. The objective of this article is to provide a general (non-systematic) review of recent (2005-2021) and relevant works regarding the modelling and simulation of volume change and large deformation in various food products/processes. Empirical- and physics-based models are considered, as well as different driving forces for deformation, in order to identify common bottlenecks and challenges in food engineering applications.

Abstract
Convective drying of fruits leads to microstructural changes within the material as a result of moisture removal. In this study, an upscaling approach is developed to understand and identify the relation between the drying kinetics and the resulting microstructural changes of apple fruit, including shrinkage of cells without membrane breakage (free shrinkage) and with membrane breakage (lysis). First, the effective permeability is computed from a microscale model as a function of the water potential. Both temperature dependency and microstructural changes during drying are modeled. The microscale simulation shows that lysis, which can be induced using various pretreatment processes, enhances the tissue permeability up to four times compared to the free shrinkage of the cells. Second, via upscaling, macroscale modeling is used to quantify the impact of these microstructural changes in the fruit drying kinetics. We identify the formation of a barrier layer for water transport during drying, with much lower permeability, at the tissue surface. The permeability of this layer strongly depends on the dehydration mechanism. We also quantified how inducing lysis or modifying the drying conditions, such as airspeed and relative humidity, can accelerate the drying rate. We found that inducing lysis is more effective in increasing the drying rate (up to 26%) than increasing the airspeed from 1 to 5 m s-1 or decreasing the relative humidity from 30% to 10%. This study quantified the need for including cellular dehydration mechanisms in understanding fruit drying processes and provided insight at a spatial resolution that experiments almost cannot reach.
