The fruits lemon pepper (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.) are commonly used as flavouring in fresh form. Meanwhile, the lemon pepper fruits are perishable and easily attacked by fungi and loss its colour and fragrance. In this study, during a 4-week storage, the effects of drying temperature (40, 50, 60 and 70 oC) in a hot oven on water content, aroma and taste intensity of lemon pepper powder were evaluated. The initial average moisture content of fresh lemon pepper is 68,5 %. Among the four drying temperature that were used, 40 oC and 70 oC showed no significant different effect on water content, while 50 oC and 60 oC produced a lower water content. The intensity of the aroma and taste of lemon pepper decreases significantly with the increase of drying temperature. The moisture content, aroma and taste intensity were also decreased significantly during the experimental storage period (4 weeks). Our experiment has shown that lemon pepper powder dried at 40 oC has a lower water content and can maintain aroma and taste better than lemon pepper dried at 50–70 oC in a hot air oven. Therefore, the drying temperature of 40 oC is a better option for drying lemon pepper.

Seeds of native forest species for food and seedling production have a growing demand that impacts the need for studies involving seed storage in order to maintain good levels of germination quality. Thus, scientific analyzes that explore the physiological potential of the seeds of these species are necessary, especially for the pink pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi.), a species used as an alternative source of income for traditional communities and which has been arousing interest due to the consumption of its fruits as a condiment in the national and international market. This work aimed to assess the physiological quality of pink pepper seeds according to the storage period and seed size. The seeds came from a rural settlement, a pioneer in the extraction of pink pepper, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The seeds were evaluated for moisture content, germination, first count, length and dry weight of the germinated seedlings, during the period of time that they remained stored and the size of the seeds. The results allowed to conclude that: i) the germinative percentage of the stored pink pepper seeds decreased over the months; ii) the moisture content of the seeds decreased over the months evaluated iii) the different sizes of seeds did not show differences in germination and storage time and iv) values of length and dry weight of the seedlings did not differ according to the period of storage.

In this study, the effects of two drying methods: hot-air and freeze drying for Thai green curry paste in a terms of drying time and qualities have been investigated. The hot-air drying was carried out in tray dryer at temperature of 50, 60 and 70 °C. The freeze drying was carried out in freeze dryer at freezing temperature of -20°C, primary drying temperature of -10°C and secondary drying temperature of 50°C. Moisture content, water activity, colour, bulk density, and total phenolic content (TPC) were determined in samples. Freeze dried sample had significantly (p<0.05) lower moisture content, water activity, bulk density, total colour difference and browning index than hot air dried samples. For antioxidant activity, the results showed hot-air drying at 70°C effected highest TPC similar to freeze drying.

The physiological quality of seeds of native species is important to produce healthy saplings and therefore guarantee the success of programs to recover disturbed vegetation. This reinforces the necessity for investigating the physiological quality of those seeds. To evaluate the effects of different drying rates on the germination, moisture content and storability of Eugenia involucrata diaspores, mature fruits collected at Mogi Guaçu, SP, Brazil had their epi- and mesocarps removed by washing and were dried at 30, 40 or 50ºC until their water content was reduced from 57% (fresh diaspores) to 13% (final drying), totaling six drying levels. In a second experiment, diaspores had their moisture content reduced from 57% to 49%, at 30ºC, totaling six drying levels (0h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h and 5h), and were kept for 180 days in plastic bags under cold storage. The drying rate had no effect on tolerance to desiccation by E. involucrata diaspores; water contents lower than 51% decreased both germinability and storability. Diaspores can be stored for up to 180 days as long as their water content is reduced to 53% and they are kept inside plastic bags under cold storage.

Drying characteristics of persimmon, cv. “Rojo Brillante”, slabs were experimentally determined in a hot air convective drier at drying temperatures of 45, 50, 55, 60, and 65 °C at a fixed air velocity of 2.3 m/s. It was observed that the drying temperature affected the drying time, shrinkage, and colour. Four empirical mathematical models namely, Enderson and Pabis, Page, Logarithmic, and Two term, were evaluated in order to deeply understand the drying process (moisture ratio). The Page model described the best representation of the experimental drying data at all investigated temperatures (45, 50, 55, 60, 65 °C). According to the evaluation of the shrinkage models, the Quadratic model provided the best representation of the volumetric shrinkage of persimmons as a function of moisture content. Overall, higher drying temperature (65 °C) improved the colour retention of dried persimmon slabs.

The article presents the study results of spelt wheat grain baking properties depending on fertilization and storage period. Europe (huskless) winter spelt wheat variety obtained by hybridization of Triticum aestivum L./Triticum spelta L. was studied. For fertilization, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, granular superphosphate, potassium chloride were used. Spelt wheat grain was stored for a year without air access at an unregulated temperature regime dry (moisture content during storage – 13.0–13.5 %) in airtight polyethylene sleeves in the conditions of usual storage. It was found that spelt wheat has a high response to the application of nitrogen fertilizers. The protein content increased from 18.6 to 22.8 % in P60K60 + N120 variant. The spelt wheat grain quality varied depending on the storage period. Thus, before storage, the gluten content was 41.1–50.4 % depending on the fertilizer variant. The lowest indicator was in the control variant and for P60K60 introduction – 41.1–41.2 %. In other fertilizer variants, the gluten content was at the level of 49.1–49.9 %. The largest was in P60K60 + N60S70 + N60 –50.4 % variant or 9 % compared to the control. Storage had a positive effect on the gluten content in spelt wheat grain as its content increased signifcantly. It can be explained by the post-harvest grain ripening, in the process of which the protein-proteinase complex changes due to the oxidizing action, oxygen, in particular. Thus, after storage for 30 days, this indicator was 41.8–52.1 % depending on the experiment variant. It was the largest when N60S70 + N60 was applied – 52.1 %, and the smallest in the variant with no fertilizers and with phosphorus-potassium (P60K60) fertilizer – 41.8–42.3 %. These indicators exceeded the gluten content before storage by an average of 1.2 abs. %. The content of protein and gluten-forming fractions is the highest after storage for 90 days. These indicators almost did not change after 180–270 days of storage. After 360 days they decreased to the grain quality indicators before storage. The gluten deformation index increased to 105–108 units of GSI instrument or by 4–8 % depending on the fertilization compared to fresh grain. Gluten moisture content decreased after 30 days of grain storage, and then increased to 68.0–69.8 % after 360 days, depending on the experiment variant. The grain acidity also increased from 3.0 to 4.0–4.1 degrees. Key words: spelt wheat, fertilization, storage, protein, gluten, dynamics, moisture content, acidity.

As an Arabica coffee producer, the Gayo community is constrained by the relatively cold local temperatures in Central Aceh and the simple technology used for the coffee drying process. The average daily temperature is 23-29 ° C. The material used in this study was coffee beans which were processed by the semi-wet method of 9kg. Research parameters include drying temperature, relative humidity, moisture content and yield. The results showed that the drying temperature using a Hohenheim dryer is much higher around 10-20 ° C than the drying temperature by drying. The process of drying pumpkin coffee until it can be ground needs 12 hours, which is 8 hours on the first day and 4 hours on the second day. While the process of drying stage 2 takes 16 hours to produce rice coffee with a moisture content of 9.32%. The quality of rice coffee produced is good with water content that meets SNI standards, does not smell bad, and is not contaminated. The yield of pumpkin coffee-based rice coffee is 35%.
