The beetroot was exposed to ethanol immersion (E), ultrasound (U), and ultrasound-ethanol immersion (UE). Besides, TP pretreatment was performed by blanching the beetroot at steam (SB), water (WB), starch-coating solutions, and microwave (M). The hot air drying was conducted at 90 °C and air velocity of 1.2 m/s. The maximum decreases in the drying time were observed at UE30 (64.29 %) and the sample blanched at native corn starch solution (60.17 %). Moisture diffusion coefficients ranged from 0.851 to 2.312 × 10−9 m2/s. The friction drag force, convective heat, and mass transfer coefficients were 2.840 × 10−6 N, 59.368 W/m2 K, and 0.0492 m/s, respectively. The thermal conductivity, specific heat, and density ranged from 0.464 to 0.615 W/m. K, 3164–4071 J/kg. K, and 798.9 to 1055.9 kg/m3, respectively. The maximum values of rehydration ratio at non-thermal (NTPT) and thermal pretreatments (TP) were observed at U30 and the sample blanched at the modified starch solution (MCS), respectively. The total phenolic contents of the NTP sample decreased while those for the TP samples increased due to boosted polyphenol synthesis at high temperatures. Both U and E samples caused a decrease in the total antioxidant activity, while they increased the anthocyanin content of beetroot samples. Pretreatments reduced the hardness owing to changes in the microstructure of the sample. U, E, and M pretreatments increased the brightness of samples, and the minimum color change compared with control samples was observed by UE30 pretreatment. The UE and blanching at a starch solution could be selected for improving the drying characteristics of beetroots at an industrial scale.","PeriodicalId":49054,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139380098","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}

Vacuum-packed fish fillets and shrimps were cooked with the sous-vide method under different temperature-time conditions and stored at 3 °C. Lower volatile bases and trimethylamine were found with cooking sous-vide than in control samples (cooked in an oven). Microbiological analysis results showed that the sous-vide cooking method provides bacterial inhibition in fish and shrimp. The sensory properties of samples cooked with sous-vide were found to be better than those of the traditional method. Sous-vide cooking did not affect the L* value of fish but affected that of shrimp. Sous-vide cooking resulted in higher a* values and lower hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values. As a result, sous-vide cooking increased the shelf life of fish and shrimp, reduced cooking loss, preserved color and texture, and provided microbial safety.","PeriodicalId":49054,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139384230","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}

The efficacy of low-temperature plasma (LTP) for inactivating fungi on nuts is already known. However, it is also necessary to examine the impact of this technique on physiochemical parameters to demonstrate the safety of LTP, especially when considering its practical application. The aim of the study is the investigation of the effect of LTP on physiochemical parameters, and the possible impact on the ageing of selected nut samples. LTP was generated in ambient air using diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD). Based on FTIR analysis, no significant changes were detected on the surface of peanuts. In hazelnuts, moderate changes were recorded mainly in regions belonging to lipids. Changes inside the samples were not detected. A slight increase of polyphenol, flavonoid content and antioxidant activity was observed.","PeriodicalId":49054,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138584284","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}

Relationship between aw and °Brix in jams was described using an equation for correlating water activity in non-electrolyte solutions. Elderberry jam samples were stored at 38 °C and samples periodically withdrawn for analysis. TMA degraded following first order reaction kinetics and color parameter a* decreased during storage while parameter h° increased. Water activity and presence of fructose in jams increased rate of TMA destruction and adversely affected color changes. Studies with sugar solutions containing anthocyanins confirmed TMA degradation is faster in models having reducing sugars than in the presence of sucrose. It is shown that sucrose may undergo hydrolysis during acid catalyzed storage at 38 °C and pH 3.5.","PeriodicalId":49054,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138586833","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}

Three-dimensional slices were considered in cylindrical, cubic, parallelepiped, and prism geometries. The first classic model coupled the linear constant drying rate period with the analytical solution of Fick’s law in spherical coordinates, evaluating the mass diffusion coefficients (4.2–15.5·10−10 m2·s−1), critical drying time (1640–5085 s), and critical moisture content (1.8–2.4 kg·kg−1). The Finite Element Method (FEM) was a more robust model, that combined momentum and mass transfer to three-dimensional solid deformation of polyhedrons by ALE method, evaluating the mass diffusivity (1.4–6.5·10−10 m2·s−1). The FEM model could predict the shrinkage due to water molar flux removal on moving solid boundaries and explain the pseudo-constant drying rate detected in experimental data. The developed models accurately described the drying of food materials with a high shrinkage ratio.","PeriodicalId":49054,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138615778","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}
