The four formulations were F1 (LC (50%), AG (30%) and HQ (5%)), F2 (LC (50%), AG (40%) and HQ (10%)); F3 (LC (60%), AG (30%) and HQ (10%)) and F4 (LC (60%), AG (40%) and HQ (5%)). A sensory acceptability (AS) analysis determined by taste, color, and the smell was performed.

Bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities were interested to study in this type of drink. The objective of this study was to find out the optimal formula for main ingredient, minor ingredient and gelling agent of longan energy gel drink. It was found that the optimal formula for main ingredient consisted of 69.5% longan juice, 30% longan honey and 0.5% citric acid which had 25 o Brix TSS and 0.5% TA (as citric acid). The mixture of main ingredient was added with minor ingredient which consisted of 0.54% branch chain amino acid (BCAA), 0.11% vitamin B complex and 0.03% commercial caffeine powder. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was selected to be added at 0.7% for gelling agent since no syneresis and the high acceptance sensory scores. Longan energy gel drink mixture was filled (150 g), sealed in retortable pouch and boiled in water (95-97 o C) for 5 min. One serving size (150 g) of this product had 165 kcal. In addition, it also had high bioactive compounds such as 0.401±0.009 mg GAE/ml of total phenolics, 0.013±0.002 mg/ml of gallic acid and 0.005±0.001 mg/ml of ellagic acid. These bioactive compounds could also provide high antioxidant activities.

Various review and research data proved that noni might protect the immune system and improve health benefits. Hence, our study focused on the development of spray dried noni powder, which can incorporate into the various food system. Noni juice was spray dried using 2% high or low molecular weight maltodextrin with whey protein as filler material at concentrations of 3 and 5% under different temperature and feed rate. The yield of spray dried noni was found to be more in high molecular weight maltodextrin with 7% whey protein at 120oC with 20% feed rate. The color value of noni powder sprayed under high temperature and high concentration of whey protein showed higher brightness than the other conditions. The powder flowability falls under a passable and poor range of Carr index and Hausner ratio, due to the high hygroscopic nature of noni fruit juice. The SEM images of noni powder showed the spherical particle for both whey protein and the combination of whey protein with maltodextrin. The encapsulated noni powder showed the presence of total phenolic and antioxidant content due to the contribution of the functional group (bioactive component) present in the noni juice. The present study investigated the suitable conditions for encapsulating the noni powder without the loss of bioactive phenolic compound.","PeriodicalId":131724,"journal":{"name":"ETP International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116917743","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}

The utilization of paper wrapping application is used for respiratory reduction and retarding maturity to extend the selling and transportation period. The aims of this research were to study how bananas wrapped with paper coated with banana flour and zeolite or charcoal powder effect the physical properties and rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) release compared to unwrapped bananas. The wrapped and control bananas were kept in room condition (30C and 70%RH) for 6 days. The results showed that all the treatments were reduced in weight, firmness and CO2 release but increased in Total Soluble Solid (TSS) and color difference (E). The CO2 content of wrapped bananas increased in the initial day of the storage and reduced after that. The zeolite and charcoal powder compound affected bananas with high weight loss and soft texture, moreover, black spots of charcoal powder caused high E. Banana flour affected lower weight loss, CO2 release and E of the banana than the control bananas (p<0.05), but the firmness change of bananas wrapped with paper coated with banana flour was not significant different from the control bananas (p>0.05) which had lower changes than the others. Therefore, bananas wrapped with paper coated with only banana flour could maintain the quality of bananas in terms of weight, CO2 release, firmness and E during the storage.

The study used two levels of processing method (deseeded & intact pulp), storage condition (chilled & ambient) and packaging method (vacuum & without vacuum). Standard process of fresh-cut jackfruit processing was followed with slight modification in the processing and packaging method. Treatments which have intact pulp (T1T4) has longer shelf-life than with the deseeded (T5-T8). Total plate count of treatments stored in chilled condition during day 8 is still acceptable with a mean of 1x107 CFU/g compared to the deseeded pulp which reached the allowable limit for the microbial count at day 6 (7x107 CFU/g). Treatments stored at ambient temperatures shows rapid degradation in the sensory acceptability and increase in microbial load of the product. All treatments stored in ambient condition (T2, T4, T6 & T8) have poor appearance with serious defects starting day 1. Treatments stored in chilled conditions are still very acceptable in all the sensory attributes even at day 8. Treatments which are not vacuum packed have high microbial count compared to vacuum packed. Presence of white film and bubbles which are indicators of fermentation were more apparent in not vacuum packed treatments than with vacuum packed.","PeriodicalId":131724,"journal":{"name":"ETP International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":"1993 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131149235","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}

In 2019, a citizen-led survey, that can be scaled up further very rapidly and cost-effectively, was conducted covering 976 mothers of children below 1 year of age by 90 trained local volunteers. The survey tool uses the Knowledge, Access and Practices Framework and was developed, tested and refined over 4 years through diverse pilots in various locations in India. In the sample, only 12% children aged 6-12 months met the WHO’s minimum dietary diversity requirement. A linear probability regression model was used to assess significant factors for an adequate diversified diet intake in infants. Maternal education, child’s age and meal frequency were found to be significantly associated with dietary diversity. Other factors such as household wealth, gender of child, birth order and homegrown gardens did not present a strong association. Integrated interventions targeted at mothers and children that include nutrition education components into mothers’ education are more likely to be effective in improving infant dietary diversity.","PeriodicalId":131724,"journal":{"name":"ETP International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115440733","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}
