Abstract
In this study, we evaluate the feasibility of a pilot-scale continuous superheated steam (SHS) roasting system for ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken production. SHS roasting was tested at different temperatures (75, 85, and 95 °C) and times (5, 10, and 15 min). SHS roasting of chicken at 85 °C for 5 min resulted in a thermal dose of 160.37 ± 1.78 k °C s, which was equivalent to that (172.15 ± 29.55 k °C s) achieved for roasting at 75 °C for 10 min. The thermal dose equivalence indicated that rapid SHS treatment at a high roasting temperature was more efficient than long-term SHS treatment at a low temperature. The most appropriate roasting condition was 85 °C for 5 min, achieving a desirable moisture content level and hardness. SHS roasting at 75 °C for 5 min showed the highest throughput (57.68 ± 2.58 units/h). Thus, this study demonstrated the potential of a continuous SHS roasting system for RTE chicken product production on an industrial scale with appropriate combinations of roasting temperature and time.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
