We used 173 samples of the commercial Japanese sake. The sensory evaluation was conducted by 35 panelists. The panel conducted the evaluation of each sample using five statements for the comprehensive evaluation of the sample. General analysis, substance-related nucleic acid, volatile components and simplified analyses were measured as physicochemical analyses. We performed regression analyses using a multiple regression analysis (MRA), partial least squares regression (PLS) and machine learning employing a support vector machine (SVM), an artificial neural network (ANN), and random forest (RF). The results of these five analysis methods have demonstrated that machine learning (especially RF) provides comparable or higher prediction accuracy and better fitting than MRA. We also discuss the contribution of each physicochemical feature to the evaluation scores based on the regression coefficients obtained by MRA and the features’ importance obtained in RF. The analysis of the individual scores indicated that ethyl caproate and isoamyl acetate make large contributions to influence the sake evaluation.","PeriodicalId":39399,"journal":{"name":"Japan Journal of Food Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42782194","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 this study temperature dependence in the separation of two model components (polyphenols) by polymer-based chromatography with ethanol-water mobile phase was analyzed by van’t Hoff plots and isothermal titration calorimeter (ITC). The distribution coef ficient K obtained by the isocratic elution of chromatography was employed both for van’t Hoff plots and for the calculation of adsorbed amount in the ITC measurements. Enthalpy values obtained by both methods were similar. As ITC is not able to predict separation behavior, it is recommended to use chromatography experiments as a complimentary method for analyzing the temperature dependence of separation.","PeriodicalId":39399,"journal":{"name":"Japan Journal of Food Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43853214","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 aqueous residue was completely frozen into spheres or cuboids of different sizes at - 20 ℃ or - 80 ℃ , and then thawed at room temperature (26 ± 2 ℃ ). The concentration index was defined as the ratio of the Brix concentration of the melted solution to that of the original solution. The changes in the cumulative fraction and concentration index of melted solution during the thawing process were measured. The freezing temperature had no significant effect on the thawing process. For all the frozen samples, the relationship between the cumulative fraction and concentration index of the melted solution was roughly represented by a single straight line, and the concentration index of the solution obtained by thawing half of the frozen sample was about 1.4. It was shown that the original solution could be concentrated twice when the freezing-thawing operation was repeated twice. However, further repeated operation had no effect on concentration.","PeriodicalId":39399,"journal":{"name":"Japan Journal of Food Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48707983","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}

However, the rigorous mathematical/mechanistic models are complicated. It is also difficult and time-consuming to determine the parameter values needed for the simulation. Simplified mechanistic models are useful both for the process understanding and for the parameter value determination. In this paper, simplified mechanistic models for two food processes, drying of liquid foods and chromatography of proteins and food materials, are presented. Both of them are dif fusion-controlled processes. A short-cut method for determining the waterconcentration dependent dif fusion coefficient from isothermal drying rates is described. Factors affecting the drying rates and the inactivation of enzyme are explained based on the simplified model. For chromatography separation processes, a method for determining HETP from linear gradient elution (LGE) curves is explained. Then, how to tune separation performance in LGE is described based on the non-dimensional group (Yamamoto number). The productivity calculation methods based on the simplified model is also explained. The usefulness of a non-dimensional group for describing the dynamic binding capacity of the breakthrough curve for capture chromatography is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":39399,"journal":{"name":"Japan Journal of Food Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.11301/jsfe.19557c","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47156942","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 color of the aqueous residue depended on the year of the catch, and the color after treatment under subcritical water conditions was also different. However, when treated under subcritical water conditions, both aqueous residues obtained from the 2017 and 2018 catches showed a decrease in the fishy odor and an increase in fragrant and burnt aromas. The preference score obtained for the residue obtained from the 2017 catch increased after the treatment process. On the other hand, the aqueous residue obtained from the 2018 catch, which did not show any improvement in the preference score upon treatment, was improved when diluted 2 or 4 times after the treatment process.

GABA generation in freeze–thawed soybeans was accelerated during storage after thawing. The optimum pH for GABA generation reaction was investigated; the decrease in pH in stored soybeans was found to result in an increase in GABA generation. The higher GABA accumulation after freeze–thawing of soybeans may have been caused by the freeze–thaw-induced structural destruction, which improved substrate transfer and enzymatic reactions.","PeriodicalId":39399,"journal":{"name":"Japan Journal of Food Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48004174","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}

Sensory evaluation by 29 female student panelists were conducted to obtain sensory evaluated scores of preference, hardness of jelly, aroma and taste intensity of Dashi, cohesiveness, ease of swallowing and persistence in mouth. High correlations were found between sensory preference, hardness of jelly, aroma and taste intensity of Dashi by partial correlation analysis. Partial Least Square (PLS) regression analysis were conducted to preference and sensory evaluated scores which assumed to having a linear relationship, and then successfully obtained a regression equation showing R=0.99. From the ranking of Variable Impor tance in Projection (VIP) values obtained from PLS, it was found that preference of the jelly has a higher contribution to taste and aroma terms than terms related to its mouthfeel.
