Demands for processed food products are rising worldwide and, consumers nowadays have adopted a healthy lifestyle and are always looking for the products which are advantageous for their health and have the characteristics and taste of a fresh commodity at the same time. Many techniques or combination of techniques have been tried to expand the shelf life of the perishable food commodities. One of the simplest methods which do not require sophisticated equipment is osmotic dehydration. Osmotic dehydration is an excellent phenomenon in which removal of water happens from an area of higher concentration to an area where concentration is lower through a membrane known as a semi-permeable membrane. Since osmotic dehydration lowers the water activity of food item; it has found broad application in the field of food material preservation. In this study pineapple cubes were dehydrated with osmotic dehydration followed by tray drying at 60℃ were assessed for physicochemical properties such as moisture, ash, rehydration ratio, ascorbic acid, water activity, color parameters and sensory properties. Sucrose solution, honey solution and honey-sucrose solution were used as osmotic agents. Duncan’s test was used to analyze the obtained data. Results showed that the pineapple sample cubes treated with honey sucrose solution at 50⁰C temperature were found to have better rehydration characteristics and lowest moisture content value as compared to the other samples. Sensory evaluation of all the samples revealed that highest scores were obtained by the sample containing both sucrose and honey (50⁰C). Highest ascorbic acid content after the osmotic dehydration was found in sample with sucrose and honey. Hence, sample with combination of sucrose and honey solution at 50⁰C proved to be the best in terms of nutritional quality, shelf stability and all other tested parameters. Therefore, many products with enhanced shelf life can be prepared using this rapid and economical technique.

The common squid (Todarodes pacificus) is one of the most widely consumed food ingredients in East Asian countries, especially Korea and Japan. It is generally marketed raw, which leads to inconvenient preparation, less commercial value, and short shelf life. Therefore, in order to handle these problems, superheated steam roasting (260°C heater, 240°C steam for 4 min) in combination with smoking treatment (15 min) using sawdust from the oak tree was used to process squid before mixing with vegetables and special sauce to make a ready-to-eat squid dish in an effective packaging. The processed squid product showed favorable sensory characteristics (appearance, odor, color, flavor, and texture) and physicochemical properties including maintained pH level (pH > 6.4), low microbial activity (4.74 ± 4.27 log CFU/g), low VBN level (18.27 ± 0.52 mg%), and good texture profile during storage for 10 days at 10°C. Results were significant at the significance level of p<0.05. Findings of this study suggest that the superheated steam-roasting treatment was the best method to maintain nutritional value of the common squid. It also showed favorable sensory and physicochemical properties, while smoking treatment prolonged the shelf life through enhancing antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and enriched flavor of the squid product.

To improve the physicochemical properties of valnemulin (VLM), different solid forms formed by VLM and organic acids, including tartaric acid (TAR), fumaric acid (FUM), and oxalic acid (OXA), were successfully prepared and characterized by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The excess enthalpy Hex between VLM and other organic acids was calculated by COSMOthermX software and was used to evaluate the probability of forming multi-component solids between VLM and organic acids. By thermal analysis, it was confirmed that multi-component solid forms of VLM were thermodynamically more stable than VLM itself. Through dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) experiments, it was found that three multi-component solid forms of VLM had lower hygroscopicity than VLM itself. Furthermore, the intrinsic dissolution rate of VLM and its multi-component forms was determined in one kind of acidic aqueous medium by using UV-vis spectrometry. It was found that the three multi-component solid forms of VLM dissolved faster than VLM itself.

The combined effects of organic acids and irradiation on shelf life of pork loins were examined. Fresh pork loins were sprayed with organic acids (lactic, citric, and acetic) at 2%, packaged aerobically, and irradiated with an electron beam at 1, 2, and 3 kGy. During 14 days of storage, total plate count, coliform number, pH, and thiobarbituric acid–reactive substances were measured. Combinations of organic acid and irradiation were more effective in reducing and maintaining low total plate counts and coliform levels during storage than either treatment alone. Higher lipid oxidations were observed in all combination treatments at 1 day of storage than in the irradiation-only group. However, lower lipid oxidations were the result after 14 days of storage when combination treatments were used with irradiations of 2 and 3 kGy. Combined treatments involving lower irradiation doses than those required for irradiation alone could be used to extend the shelf life of pork loins during postirradiation storage without increasing lipid oxidation.
