Numerous studies have shown that \u0000coumarin has a beneficial health effect on the body in optimal consumption, \u0000while increased long-term consumption can lead to adverse health effects. In \u0000this paper, the amount of coumarin in ten different products found on the \u0000Croatian market, including ground spices and teas, was analyzed.

The \u0000research focuses on modelling and optimization of process parameters such as \u0000drying rate, water loss, solid gain, vitamin C, manganese, and iron of dried \u0000osmo-pretreated onion slices. Least square regression analysis in the Math-lab \u0000computer software was used to model and optimise the process parameters., \u0000Six (6) mathematical models were developed for each output from the \u0000regression analysis that was carried out. The criteria for adjudging these models \u0000were the values of their adjusted coefficient of multiple determinations, \u0000prediction error sum of squares (also called deleted residual), R2 for prediction, \u0000coefficient of variation CV, and the Dubin-Watson test for autocorrelation. The \u0000models were checked for adequacy using these criteria, and those found to be \u0000adequate were selected from among the other possible combinations. Hence, \u0000the best-optimized obtained results from the models are 27.50 g/h, 1.61 g/g, \u00000.15 g/g, 77.52 mg/100 g, 2.79 mg/1000 g, and 2.19 mg/1000 g for drying rate, \u0000water loss, solid gain, vitamin C, manganese, and iron, respectively.","PeriodicalId":10771,"journal":{"name":"Croatian journal of food science and technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49342408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This \u0000study produced Oryctes rhinoceros L. larvae powder and investigated the \u0000impact of preparation and processing methods (degutted; roasted and dried) on \u0000some quality parameters of O. rhinoceros larvae powder. Each batch was \u0000prepared with and without their gut respectively. Physico-chemical analyses \u0000were determined on the powder, while sensory evaluation was carried out on \u0000the whole O. rhinoceros larvae using standard procedures. Moisture content of \u0000the powders ranged from 3.57 - 5.66%, protein content (51.60 - 62.65%), fat \u0000(8.71 – 12.67%), ash (3.97 - 10.25%), fibre (15.57 - 19.52%) and carbohydrate \u0000(0.12 - 6.56%). The results of functional properties revealed a range of 2.64 – \u00002.98 mg/g for water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity of 2.43- 2.70 \u0000mg/g and bulk density of 0.48 – 0.51 g/mL. Processing (roasting and oven \u0000drying) had no significant effect on the sensory and physico-chemical \u0000properties of whole O. rhinoceros larvae and O. rhinoceros larvae powder, \u0000while the removal of the gut significantly contributed to the improvement of \u0000the quality and sensory appeal of O. rhinoceros larvae.","PeriodicalId":10771,"journal":{"name":"Croatian journal of food science and technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47412437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
