The d-limonene is a major component present in the Mosambi fruit, which possesses wide-ranging medicinal properties such as anticancer, antidiabetic, digestive aid, gastroesophageal reflux relief, immunity booster, and treating skin conditions. The Mosambi fruit is rich in vitamin C; hence, it has high antioxidant activity, making it a popular house remedy. The sweet lemon fruit is seasonal and easily spoiled due to the fruit's acidic pH range. A dehydrated juice product would be ideal for long-term preservation. Spray drying is the preferred technique for many thermally sensitive materials. The process removes excess moisture quickly and safely, thus improving the shelf life of the final product. The spray dried powder can be then reconstituted with water for consumption. In this study, we employed the spray drying method to conserve sweet lemon juice. We utilized three different additive drying aids, namely maltodextrin, gum Arabic, and whey protein. The inlet temperature and feed flowrate were altered, and different combinations of the spray drying process were performed. The powder properties such as color, water activity, moisture content, total titrable acidity, water solubility index, bulk and true densities, and porosity were analyzed. The biochemical properties such as the antioxidant activity, total phenol content, and vitamin C content were also calculated. The SEM and FTIR results showed the powder structure and the presence of different functional groups, respectively. On the whole, the experimental results support a spray drying process of an inlet temperature of 150°C with polysaccharide-based drying aids (maltodextrin and gum Arabic) producing a powder better than with whey protein. The spray dried sweet lime powder with maltodextrin was uniform under SEM and manifested the following parameters: water activity <i>a</i>_w was less than 0.37, while moisture range <i>X</i>_w was 1.98–3.1, suggesting microbial safety and extended shelf life. It has also retained vitamin C (AAC &gt; 35 mg/100 mL) and showed higher antioxidant activity (DPPH &gt; 70%) along with other quality functional properties; thus, it is considered a beneficial antioxidant-rich powder.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15932,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Process Engineering","volume":"48 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143594882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper reviews the mechanism and application of VST, ultrasound thawing (UT), microwave thawing (MT), and electric field thawing (EFT), and analyzes the competitiveness of VST in these four novel thawing methods. The localized overheating phenomenon is the common disadvantage of UT, MT, and EFT. Based on the condensation heat exchange mechanism and the low-temperature and low-oxygen vacuum environment, even thawing can be achieved by VST. In addition, compared to UT, MT, and EFT, the quality of frozen food thawed by VST is much better. Moreover, two kinds of optimization of VST are summarized, which are thawing combined technology and vacuum sublimation-rehydration thawing (VSRT). The thawing combined technology aims at the complementarity role among VST and other thawing technologies. The VSRT aims at improving the effect of condensation heat exchange. These two techniques improve the thawing effect of VST and effectively reduce the cost requirements, which can be the research direction of VST in the future.

Electrical conductivities of the Antarctic krill block and the block's solution are determined in temperature and frequency ranges of −30 C–0°C and 50 Hz to 200 kHz.

We evaluated the performance by blanching <i>Moringa oleifera</i> (Moringa) leaves, a beneficial tree with significant nutritional and medicinal properties in its various parts. The fabricated heater functioned with a 60 Hz frequency and an AC electric source for the voltage supply. Five digital thermometers recorded the uniform temperature at different positions of the ohmic chamber every 30 s for 180 s, and the temperature profile was modeled using two statistical models, namely, the response surface method in Design Expert 7.0 and an artificial neural network in MATLAB 15.0 software. Uniform volumetric heating was confirmed empirically at the combination of four voltage gradients (10, 15, 20, and 25 V/cm) with three sodium salt concentrations (0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%) as food probes. The predicted heating parameters from statistical models were then employed to blanch Moringa leaves for extended storage. The nutritional properties of ohmic-blanched Moringa leaves were compared with the fresh and steam-blanched samples. The ohmic-blanched leaves were found to retain nutrients substantially higher compared to the steam-blanched leaves. The carbohydrate, protein, ascorbic acid, carotenoid, phenol, flavonoid, and iron content in ohmic-blanched leaves were found to be 14.6 ± 1.67 g/100 g, 6.3 ± 0.2 g/100 g, 135.07 ± 1.35 mg/100 g, 95.43 ± 1.4 mg/g, 37 ± 1 mg GAE/g, 28.03 ± 1.64 mg QE/g, and 15.1 ± 0.26 mg/g, respectively.

Effective preservation methods are crucial for preventing spoilage by microorganisms and enzymes, ensuring safety, and extending shelf life. A nonthermal technology called Moderate electric field (MEF) treatment presents a promising approach for preserving liquid food quality and safety with slight effects on its functional and sensory attributes. This study investigated the MEF effect on the physicochemical attributes and microbial reduction of grape juice. The MEF reactor, operating at a frequency of 50 Hz, treated raw grape juice at different voltages (125, 150, and 175 V) and times (5, 10, and 15 min) combinations. The results indicated that MEF treatments significantly influenced temperature, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), turbidity, conductivity, color, and microbial reduction in grape juice. Higher voltages and longer treatment times generally resulted in higher temperatures and more pronounced changes in the juice's properties. Specifically, treatment T₁₉ (175 V for 15 min) showed the most significant effects, including increased TSS, turbidity, conductivity, and total color difference, while substantially reducing the microbial count. A maximum log reduction of 3.43 was achieved at 175 V for 15 min.
