The study systematically compares the drying efficiencies of the different methods and their effects on physico-chemical properties, pet food applications, energy consumption, and costs. The results show that CIRD and EOD resulted in a better color of the final product, while the EIRD treatment resulted in the highest degree of denaturation of the chicken breast jerky proteins. In terms of chemical properties, the higher malondialdehyde content of CIRD and EIRD (2.77±0.18 mg/kg, 2.63±0.07 mg/kg) indicated higher fat oxidation in IR-treated chicken meat, which is also associated with an increase in the content of free fatty acids. This paper also found that arachidonic, linolenic, and oleic acids are positively correlated with the content of important flavor compounds in the jerky. For pet food applications, it was found that pets prefer CIRD and EIRD products, and energy and cost measurements also indicate that CIRD (4258.74 kJ/kg, 0.94 yuan/kg) is more energy and cost-efficient than other drying methods. The results show that CIRD (4258.74 kJ/kg, 0.94 yuan/kg) is a more energy-efficient and less costly drying method.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100545,"journal":{"name":"Food Physics","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100010"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950069924000045/pdfft?md5=9e44d63f6c1dd287e2497bea8cea56df&pid=1-s2.0-S2950069924000045-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140405806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optimization process of pasta production from acha flour (AF) and defatted <em>Moringa oleifera</em> powder (DMP) carried out using standard method, with the objectives of determining optimum processing condition by applying hybrid of Taguchi Orthogonal Array Design and Response Surface Methodology of Design Expert version 6.0.

The responses ranged as follows: hardness (18.96 – 27.83 N), springiness (0.41 – 0.71), adhesiveness (0.09 – 0.59 N/m<sup>2</sup>), cohesiveness (0.35 – 0.64), chewiness (3.85–11.89 N/m<sup>2</sup>), gumminess (9.23 – 17.63 N/m<sup>2</sup>), colour characteristics (<em>L</em>* [0.07 – 2.20], <em>a</em>* [0.32 – 1.07] and <em>b</em>* [0.21 – 2.11]), cooking time (4.00 – 6.00 min), cooking loss (5.66 – 8.05 g/100 g), water uptake (95.27–137.27%), elongation ratio (0.82 – 1.08), specific heat capacity (Cp) (177.31 – 196.45 kJ/kg/K), thermal conductivity (27.31–29.64 W/m/K) and thermal diffusivity (8.17 – 8.81 ×10<sup>−6</sup> m<sup>2</sup>/s).

The creep properties of the kiwifruit were fitted with three creep models to find the most suitable model, which was selected to produce the key creep parameters. Then, the relationship between the selected creep model and the representative quality indices of the kiwifruit was further investigated and used to produce the quality prediction models for the fruit. It was shown that Vitamin C, SSC, ΔE, hardness, adhesiveness, and springiness were the most representative quality indices of kiwifruit. In addition, the Four-element Burgers model was recognized as the most suitable model to describe the creep behavior of ‘Hayward’ kiwifruit. A significant correlation (p < 0.01) existed between the creep model parameters and the most representative quality indices, and the R<sup>2</sup> of the kiwifruit quality prediction models established by regression analysis were all greater than 0.80, and no significant difference between the predicted value and the actual value was found.
