A shape changing pasta during cooking has been achieved through designed grooves and protrusions on one side of the samples. However, a quantitative understanding of the effects of manufacturing and drying process on the shape morphing is still missing. Here, three pressures applied on the surface of the samples and three thicknesses of the sheeted dough have been analyzed for their effect on the dehydration kinetics of pasta, microstructure properties, water absorption and the kinetic of bending during cooking. Results proved the effectiveness of the proposed strategy to activate the morphing of dried pasta during cooking. The dehydration rates were primarily affected by the thickness of the sheeted dough while the applied pressure did not modify the dehydration kinetics of samples of 1.5 and 1 mm thick. 2D microCT images revealed that by using a constant pressure, the grooves were deeper as sheeted doughs were thick; the greater amount of dough permitted much more upward expansion between the teeth of the plastic stamp leading to higher protrusions/deeper grooves. The rehydration rate was mainly controlled by the height of the remaining layers below the grooves while the pressures applied did not affect the rate of the water absorption over time. The kinetic of bending during cooking was satisfactorily described by using a sigmoidal mathematical model. Results proved that the speed of bending was mainly affected by the thickness of the sheeted dough while the applied pressures affected the speed of bending only for the thinner samples of 1.5 and 1 mm thick while the thicker samples folded at the same speed with no changes among the pressure applied.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":359,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Engineering","volume":"388 ","pages":"Article 112362"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142554761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We constructed a multiphase flow-deformation model for chiffon cake baking, and validated its accuracy by comparing the experimental results of temperature and height. Based on the model, the heat transfer, mass transfer, and deformation characteristics were investigated. In the pore-closed region, the evaporation-diffusion-condensation process of water vapor enhances heat transfer, and its contribution to heat transfer has an equivalent thermal conductivity of up to 0.64 W/(m·K), which increases the heating rate. In the pore-opening region, the water vapor evaporates from the high-temperature, high-water activity region and is transported towards the lower-temperature region and external environment. This process enhances heat transfer and induces an evaporative cooling effect, resulting in a uniform temperature distribution that remains below 100 °C across the majority of the region.

This study introduced two types of Zanthoxylum oil to enhance both the printability and quality of waxy rice cakes, aiming to achieve Sichuan-style taste through the Zanthoxylum oil's effect. The results showed that the waxy rice flour dough with Zanthoxylum oil exhibited shear thinning properties, with viscosity decreasing from 292.59 Pa s to 91.16 Pa s at a shear rate of 1 s⁻¹, making it an ideal material for 3D printing. The addition of Zanthoxylum oil significantly enhanced water activity and hydrogen bonds in the dough system. Furthermore, the incorporation of red Zanthoxylum oil accelerated the dough maturation process. 3D printing and TPA results revealed that sticky rice cakes containing 8% and 12% Zanthoxylum oil exhibited optimal printing accuracy, with the 8% sample achieving 96.69% fidelity. After steaming, the waxy rice cake with 8% Zanthoxylum oil retained a height of 18.23 mm and a diameter of 31.74 mm, with a soft, sticky texture. In summary, the product with the addition of 8% red Zanthoxylum oil exhibited superior appearance and texture, making it suitable for 3D printing.

Generally, these variables are measured individually and manually. Analysis of some variables can be done in laboratory environments. It is very difficult to continuously and accurately read the quality variables of products, especially at the exits of industrial tunnel ovens operating at high speeds. With current systems, important quality variables of the products are assessed through widely spaced sampling, and most of the time the measurements made do not represent the entire batch. Additionally, interventions in the process may be delayed due to the time required for analysis, allowing defective products to reach consumers. In this study, experiments were carried out to enable real-time and high-speed identification of important quality variables such as product geometry, surface color, image features, and moisture. The developed system aims to monitor products such as cookies, cakes, biscuits, crackers and bread. Through this system, the size of the products that can represent the lot or even the entire batch can be analyzed when desired. Thus, quality oscillations can be kept within very narrow ranges. The developed hybrid system is applied to the exit of tunnel ovens, and the data read through sensors and cameras are transferred to computers using specially developed algorithms through interfaces. It has been observed that process control signals can also be generated by considering the lower and upper control limits of quality variables. With the developed software, changes can be instantly seen on the screens in the form of graphics, audio, and visual warnings can be created, historical data can be recorded, and reports can be obtained. At the end of the study, it was found that important quality variables such as circularity, diameter, thickness, color, image area, and moisture could be read with a sample size of up to 100%.
