To achieve this goal, whole wheat flour was supplemented with different levels of oyster mushroom powder (OMP) – 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, and 20 %, along with pearl millet flour (PMF) – 10 %, 20 %, 30 %, and 40 %, resulting in a range of formulations for the study. The prepared formulations were evaluated for their chemical, physical, pasting, texture, predicted GI, resistant starch and sensory properties along with color analysis. The protein and fiber content in formulated flatbread increased with increase in percentage of OMP and PMF from 5–20 % and 10–40 % respectively. The pasting properties showed a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in peak, breakdown, trough, final and setback viscosities of composite flour. However, no significant effect on dough handling was observed due to change in pasting behaviour. Furthermore, in vitro protein digestion studies (IVPD%) indicated improved protein quality in formulated flatbread. The whole wheat flour supplementation has also reduced starch hydrolysis rate by decreasing composite flatbread’s predicted glycemic response (pGI) from 82 in control wheat bread to 61–50 in formulated flatbread. Colour attributes of enriched flatbread showed a darker colour than control, however, it was preferred by the panellists at OMP (15 %) and PMF (30 %) substitution by obtaining an overall acceptability score of 7.3 out of 9.0. Practical application: The present study will be very helpful for a diabetic patient to take the best composition of flatbread in their diet to effectively manage their rise in blood glucose level.","PeriodicalId":13976,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":"39 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139129440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although this drying technique appears promising, it is yet largely unexplored. In this study, the authors provide a review of the existing milestones on RWD using a sample of 40 articles from 2000 to date to quantify the state of investigations across multiple studies and establish specific areas needing further attention. Results show that experimental analyses constitute about 53–59 % of the reported cases, followed by a literature review 24–28 %. Furthermore, 17 % of the total study cases was observed across all modelling categories, with machine learning (ML) techniques constituting only about 8 %. Driven by the outcome, this study thus utilized three ML techniques to model the moisture ratio (MR) of 1.5–4.5 mm thick yam slices, operated over the range of 65–95 °C temperature in an RWD chamber. Unlike the routine procedures, the yam thickness versus air temperature effects on moisture ratio were investigated to determine the more significant factor as well as the air velocity effect or its lack thereof on MR. To investigate the validity window for the entire dataset, all data points were considered, with a training-testing ratio of 7:3 used in each case. For scenario one, prediction based on the yam thickness effect showed a greater influence on the MR. The air velocities at 0.5–1.5 m/s had little effect on MR as compared to the case where air velocity was ignored (i.e., the control case in this study). Also, model accuracy for all tested samples has been determined to be better than 93 %. Insight from this study is to guide in the future design of RW dryers for direct measurement of the moisture ratio of harvested root tubers at various conditions.","PeriodicalId":13976,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":" 41","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139144283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, some physicochemical properties remain obscure. This study sought to determine the direct relationships between changes in pH, moisture, water activity, total viable count, color traits, volatile flavor compounds, and sausage quality. Therefore, P. chinense Pursh extract (PCPE) were added to Chinese sausage instead of synthetic chemical antioxidants. The results proved that the PCPE could reduce the a w value and stabilize the pH and moisture. The total number of bacterial colonies in the 0.1 % and 0.3 % sample groups was 7 % lower than that in the blank group on the 35th day. The PCPE could also maintain an acceptable appearance in Chinese sausage; the 0.3 % PCPE group presented a better final a* value, and the 0.1 % PCPE group had a better b* value. Additionally, eight volatile flavor compounds (ROAV > 0.1), contributing to the flavor of Chinese sausage, were identified in the 0.3 % PCPE group by the ROAV analysis. Overall, the P. chinense Pursh extract could be a potential alternative to synthetic chemical antioxidants in the production of Chinese sausages.","PeriodicalId":13976,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":"619 - 630"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139214874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mechanistic model was used to accomplish this, coupling heat transfer, laminar fluid flow, and the electric field, and solved numerically using COMSOL Multiphysics® v5.6. The 3D model represented 1000 particles randomly placed on the meat’s surface to determine the 7-log reduction of bacterial load probability. These particles are virtual representatives of bacterial colonies in the model. The influence of uncertain input parameters (specific heat capacity and electrical conductivity) and OH conditions (salt concentration of the heating medium, applied voltage, and heating time) was explained using logistic regression. The same analysis was repeated for the slowest heating point of chicken meat, as well. According to the findings, cold spots are observed at the corners of the meat piece during OH, requiring additional attention to the meat surface temperature to prevent under-processing. Sensitivity analysis revealed that the applied voltage and brine concentration are the main factors affecting the inactivation probabilities of pathogenic bacterial cells on the chicken meat surface. Salmonella and Listeria may require higher electrical conductivity of chicken meat and longer processing times. The developed model enables predicting inactivation probabilities of microorganisms that can be found on the outer surface by measuring the core temperature of the meat. However, especially for bacteria with higher heat resistance, it is better to consider the cold spot temperature found in the corners of the food material during OH.","PeriodicalId":13976,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":"27 21","pages":"593 - 604"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139267355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
