Thylakoid membranes isolated from spinach have previously been shown to inhibit lipase/co-lipase and prolong satiety in vivo. There is a need to develop thylakoid products that not only have the desired characteristics and functionality after processing, but also are stable and provide equivalent effect on appetite over the promised shelf life. The aim of the present study was therefore to evaluate how the thylakoid powders’ characteristics and functionality were affected by moisture during storage. Thylakoids produced by drum-drying, spray-drying, and freeze-drying were incubated in controlled atmosphere with different relative humidity (10 RH%, 32 RH%, 48 RH% and 61 RH%) for 8 months. The water content in all powders was increased during storage. The water absorption was moisture-dependent, and the powders were considered hygroscopic. Relative humidity showed a definite influence on the rate of chlorophyll degradation and loss of green color in thylakoid powders after storage which correlated with impaired emulsifying capacity. Spray-dried powder had the overall highest chlorophyll content and emulsifying capacity at all RH-levels investigated. Spray drying was therefore considered the most suitable drying method yielding a powder with best-maintained functionality after storage. The results can be applied towards quality control of high-quality functional foods with appetite suppressing abilities.

Microencapsulation is widely used to minimize the oxidation of fish oil products. This study compared the effects of different drying methods, for example, spray drying (SD), freeze drying (FD), and spray freeze drying (SFD) on the microencapsulation of fish oil. Spray drying (SD) is the most common method for producing fish oil microcapsules, and it has low operation cost and short processing time, while the product yield and quality are poor. Freeze drying (FD) can be used to produce oil microcapsules with high quality, but it takes long time and high overall cost for drying. Spray freeze drying (SFD) is a new method for the preparation of microcapsules, which combines the SD and FD processes to obtain high quality powder. The yield of powder reached 95.07% along with porous structure by SFD. The stability and slow-release property of SFD products were better than those of SD and FD, which showed that SFD improved product storage stability and potential digestibility.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Jerusalem artichoke processing methods and drying methods (freeze drying, sublimation drying, vacuum drying) on the basic physicochemical parameters, profiles and contents of sugars and polyphenolic compounds, and health-promoting properties (antioxidant activity, inhibition of the activities of α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and pancreatic lipase) of the produced purée. A total of 25 polyphenolic compounds belonging to hydroxycinnamic phenolic acids (LC-PDA-MS-QTof) were detected in Jerusalem artichoke purée. Their average content in the raw material was at 820 mg/100 g dm (UPLC-PDA-FL) and was 2.7 times higher than in the cooked material. The chemical composition and the health-promoting value of the purées were affected by the drying method, with the most beneficial values of the evaluated parameters obtained upon freeze drying. Vacuum drying could offer an alternative to freeze drying, as both methods ensured relatively comparable values of the assessed parameters.

Polyethylenimine (PEI)-coated biomass-chitosan composite fiber (PBCF) was fabricated to recover Ru from acetic acid waste solution. The present work aimed to understand the effects of molecular weight of chitosan and drying method on stability and sorption performance of the PBCF. For this, the PBCF was prepared by extruding the mixed solutions of chitosan and Corynebacteriumglutamicum to form the composite fibers which were modified with ionic polymer, PEI. The degree of swelling of PBCFs prepared by hot-air, natural, and freeze drying methods were 1.25, 1.34, and 1.07 %, respectively, indicating that the freeze-drying method was the best. Batch biosorption studies showed that the maximum Ru uptake could be achieved with PBCF prepared with medium molecular weight chitosan, and could reach 34.1 mg/g, which was 7.9 times higher than that of the commercial ion exchange resin, LEWATIT® MonoPlus M 500 (4.3 mg/g). Therefore, PBCF can be considered as an alternative sorbent to synthetic resin for recovery of Ru form industrial acetic acid waste solution.

Pempek is a typical food of Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia, mostly processed in the form of wet with a moisture content of 50-60%, so that it only lasts for 3-4 days. In order for pempek to long last, it was processed into instant pempek using the freeze drying method. Pempek had tube form with a size of 3 cm in high and 4 cm in diameter. This study was aimed to see the freeze drying pressure and time to length of cooking, density, and lightness of instant pempek. Stored pempek at temperature of -50° C was carried out freeze drying with a pressure of 0.002 bar, 004 bar, 0.006 bar, and 0.008 bar for 38 hours, 40 hours, 42 hours, and 44 hours with a methodology of Split the Duncan Real Distance Difference Test Plot Design. The result showed that the pressure and time had very significant effect on the length of cooking, density and lightness of pempek. P3 (0.006 bar) pressure treatment affected shorter cooking time of pempek about 10.83 minutes, L2 treatment has 14.17 minutes for cooking times and the P3L2 treatment combination has low density of 0.71 g / cm3 and color brightness (lightness) about 85.38, almost resemble with white color. Making instant pempek with freeze drying method gave better results in ways of shorter and faster cooking time than instant pempek by other drying methods. Keywords: cooking length, freeze drying, instant pempek

The aims of this work was to investigate the effect of thermal drying method (vacuum oven drying), and nonthermal drying method (freeze drying) on the flavonoids content in two red grape varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) from different grape components (seed, skin, and pulp) collected from two experimental fields, Bucium and Copou (North East of Romania). In general, the fresh skin of Cabernet and Merlot varieties has the highest flavonoids content followed by those obtained by oven-drying and freeze-drying process. A similar situation was observed in the other component of grape varieties like pulp and seeds meaning in the way that the flavonoid content in oven-dried samples were higher than that in the freeze-dried samples. In addition, from both varieties, Merlot collected from Bucium presented the highest content compared with Cabernet.
