Apple slices of the Elise variety were previously osmo-dehydrated in erythritol, xylitol, and sucrose for 2 h. In some parts of the experiment, 30 min of ultrasound pre-treatment (US) were applied. Afterwards, fruit samples were dried by convective (CD), microwave-vacuum (VM), and a combined method (CD/VM, mix two of them). The main aim of the research was to characterize an impact of osmotic dehydration, sonication pre-treatment, and drying method on the physicochemical properties of the dried apples. The use of sugar alcohols (xylitol, erythritol) in the production of dried apples did not badly affect the taste of the obtained dried products; it enabled a noticeable cooling/refreshing effect felt in the mouth when consuming a snack, and enabled the production of dried snacks with lower calorific value. Polyol residues in the product were at a level that was safe for consumers. The most popular convective drying was long lasting, whereas the VM drying method allowed for the shortest drying time, amounting to 76 min; moreover, additional application of ultrasounds reduced this time to 36 min. The combined drying method allowed the total duration of the process to be reduced 2–4.5 times. Ultrasound applied during osmotic dehydration did not significantly affect attributes of the descriptive sensory analysis for the obtained dried apples. The best hygroscopic properties, ensuring the storage stability of the dried product, showed dried apples previously osmo-dehydrated in erythritol and sucrose solutions.

AbstractIn this study, we determined the influences of different drying techniques such as natural air (ND), hot-air (HD), vacuum (VD), infrared (ID), microwave (MD), and freeze drying (FD) methods on the color, shrinkage ratio (SR), rehydration ratio (RR), firmness, crispness, microstructures, nutritional components, and free amino acids of Pleurotus eryngii. The results showed that these parameters were markedly influenced by different drying techniques. Among them, FD was the most effective drying method which retained the main characteristics of the fresh P. eryngii in above mentioned indexes, followed by ND and HD at 40 °C. Finally, despite the least drying time, MD treatment was not suitable to the drying process of P. eryngii slices since it damaged physicochemical properties and caused massive losses of the main nutrients and free amino acids. The results will provide a theoretical basis for industrial processing of P. eryngii.

The paper reviews and analyses the advantages and disadvantages of the existing technologies of drying shiitake mushrooms, which are a valuable source of bioactive polysaccharides, vitamins, antioxidants, etc. The findings presented in the paper show how various drying methods and their thermotechnological operating parameters affect the mechanostructural properties, chemical composition, content of aromatic substances and other compounds of mushrooms. It has been demonstrated that the traditional convection drying of shiitake in the temperature range 50–60°C allows maximum preservation of phenolic compounds, organic acids, nucleotides, sulphuric aromatic substances, and enhances the unique aroma of the mushroom. Radiation drying has such advantages as lower shrinkage of dried shiitake mushrooms, a higher coefficient of rehydration and higher hardness, and the drying time reduced by 66% compared with freeze-drying. Vacuum drying makes it possible to obtain high quality products, but significantly increases the duration of the process and reduces the content of aromatics. Radiation drying combined with hot air allows obtaining a dry form of shiitake rich in protein and bioactive polysaccharides and having high physicochemical properties, and reduces the duration of the process by 37.5% compared with convection drying. Spray drying of shiitake mushrooms is highly practical economically and allows organising industrial manufacture of high-quality dry mushroom powder in large volumes. It is characteristic of this drying method that its temperature effect on the product is slight, which makes it possible to preserve thermolabile bioactive substances. When using spray drying, it is advisable to add dextrin additives. This improves the structuring and moisture-conducting properties of the suspensions and their thermal stability, and helps preserve the unique aroma of shiitake mushrooms due to encapsulation of aromatic compounds. Studying the effect of various drying methods on the physicochemical properties of shiitake will lead to improving the existing technological processes and will make it possible to obtain products with desired properties.

A comparative study of three drying methods of baobab leaves have been conducted and reported. Mixed mode solar drying, indirect mode solar drying and open sun drying of baobab leaves were conducted based on three drying models viz a viz Lewis,. Page and Henderson and Pabis models were employed in this research. Baobab leaves dried faster when dried under the mixed mode on-farm solar dryer. Drying time reduced considerably using the mixed mode on-farm solar dryer. Drying data were fitted into Lewis, Page and Henderson and Pabis models. Henderson and Pabis model (R2=0.9999, 0.9611, 0.9656; X2= 1.0297, 0.7931, 0.7710; RMSE= 0.5859, 0.6898, 0.6802 and MBE= -0.4.135, -0.4.231, -0.4176) gave the best prediction for the mixed mode drying). In the same way Henderson and Pabis model (R2=0.7450, 0.7699, 0.8243; X2= 1.9025, 0.4026, 0.2006; RMSE= 1.0684, 0.5181, 0.4058 and MBE= -0.8966, -0.3823, 0.2789) gave the best prediction for the indirect mode drying of baobab leaves. Effective moisture diffusivity of baobab leaves varied between -6.382 X 10-04 and -1.108 X 10-03 m2/s.

In this study, the impacts of two different pear cultivars, “Conference” and “Alexander Lucas”, on the kinetics and the final quality of samples dried by convection (CD) and microwave-convection (MCD) methods, were investigated. The quality of dried material was evaluated by the analysis of water activity, porosity, color, acoustic emission (AE) and mechanical and sensory properties. The required drying time to obtain 0.2 kg H2O/kg dry solid (d.s.) was longer for “Conference” than “Alexander Lucas” and was 20 min by CD and 5 min by MCD. The pear cultivar, in conjunction with the drying method (CD or MCD), affected the number of AE events and the work of breaking. The CD pear of the “Conference” cultivar was characterized by higher force, higher breaking work and stronger AE relative to the CD pear of the “Alexander Lucas” cultivar. There were no differences in taste or overall quality, but the hardness was higher for the CD “Conference” pear. A principal component analysis showed that panelists preferred dried fruit with good taste and overall quality but lower hardness. A positive correlation was found between the number of acoustic events and sensory hardness; thus, an acoustic method can be useful for effectively evaluating the texture of dried pears. These results show that the dried pear slices that generated fewer AE events upon breaking were perceived as better by the panelists.

Processing and shaping of dried gels are of interest in several fields like alginate aerogel beads used as highly porous and nanostructured particles in biomedical applications. The physicochemical properties of the alginate source, the solvent used in the gelation solution and the gel drying method are key parameters influencing the characteristics of the resulting dried gels. In this work, dried gel beads in the form of xerogels, cryogels or aerogels were prepared from alginates of different molecular weights (120 and 180 kDa) and concentrations (1.25, 1.50, 2.0 and 2.25% (w/v)) using different gelation conditions (aqueous and ethanolic CaCl2 solutions) and drying methods (supercritical drying, freeze-drying and oven drying) to obtain particles with a broad range of physicochemical and textural properties. The stability of physicochemical properties of alginate aerogels under storage conditions of 25 °C and 65% relative humidity (ICH-climatic zone II) during 1 and 3 months was studied. Results showed significant effects of the studied processing parameters on the resulting alginate dried gel properties. Stability studies showed small variations in aerogels weight and specific surface area after 3 months of storage, especially, in the case of aerogels produced with medium molecular weight alginate.

The objective of this work was to determine the effects of blanching and two drying methods, open-sun drying and natural convection solar drying, on the quality characteristics of red pepper. A 2 × 3 factorial design with experimental factors as 2 drying methods (open-sun drying and use of solar dryer) and 3 levels of pepper blanching (unblanched, blanched in plain water, and blanched in 2% NaCl) was conducted. Dried pepper samples were analysed for chemical composition, microbial load, and consumer sensory acceptability. Blanching of pepper in 2% NaCl solution followed by drying in a natural convection solar dryer reduced drying time by 15 hours. Similarly, a combination of blanching and drying in the solar dryer improved microbial quality of dried pepper. However, blanching and drying processes resulted in reduction in nutrients such as vitamin C and minerals content of pepper. Blanching followed by drying in natural convection solar dryer had the highest consumer acceptability scores for colour and overall acceptability, while texture and aroma were not significantly (p>0.05) affected by the different treatments. Therefore, natural convection solar dryer can be used to dry pepper with acceptable microbial and sensory qualities, as an alternative to open-sun drying.
