Instant Drink Powder Development from Lotus Root with Probiotic Supplement using Foam Mat Drying Method

In this study, we developed instant drink powder of lotus root water using steviol glycoside as a non-nutritive sweetener at different concentrations (0.01, 0.03 and 0.05% w/v) and flavor (Chrysanthemum, Pandan leaves and Roselle) addition on color, pH, %TA, TSS and organoleptic quality properties. The additional of steviol glycoside did not show any effects on physicochemical properties. Results show that 0.03% steviol glycoside and Pandan leaves addition exhibited the highest score of sensorial features significantly. Moreover, this formula was made as foam-mat dried to obtain lotus root supplemented with probiotics powders. The effects of composition ratio of methylcellulose: egg albumin (1:1, 1:2, 1.5:1 and 1.5:2) on the lotus root foam properties were investigated. It was observed that increase in the concentration of methylcellulose decreased foam stability and foam density. Foams were prepared from Lactobacillus plantarum M29 and Peddiococcus pentosaceus MG12 with lotus root water by adding the different concentrations of foaming agents at a whipping time of 15 min. The composition ratio of methylcellulose: egg albumin (1.5:1) provided preferable foam characteristics. The greatest resulting foams were dried at 60 °C for 3 h. The lotus root with probiotics instant drink was able to possess the antioxidant activity and viable probiotics count (more than 7 log CFU/g) during storage at both refrigeration and room temperature for a month.

.Colloidal features [foaming capacity (FC); foam stability (FS) and foam density (FD)] of conditioning auxiliaries (additives) of plant protection active principles constitute, together with toxicity, a decisive technical index in forming administering receipts in modern ecological agriculture and foodstuff processing all during the agroalimentary processing and consumption chain. In this paper we show the results of a study on a new class of superficial active compounds salefied polyether ( = 3 – 20) primary amides. As diderived glymes, they have a guided regulation capacity of the HLB balance through the change of the medium degree of oligomerisation ( ) of the polyoxyethylene chain (PEO). Can thus obtain a wide range of structures such as micellar solute, dispersion, emulsion, and foaming agents, etc., through the cyanoethylation of polyethoxylated nonylphenols with a medium degree of oligomerisation ( ) between 3 and 20 structural oxyethylene units (EO) in alkaline catalysis with monomer acrylonitrile, followed by a classical hydrogenation in heterogeneous catalysis of intermediary nitrile thus obtained, and finally partial hysrolysis and salefied with HCOOH; CH3COOH. These are biodegradable in water plants, which ensure special ecologlcal features and high compatibility within the restrictive legal ensemble of a foodstuff processing integrated in an extremely polluted environment. Structures have real bacteriostatical abilities compared to a wide spectrum of microrganisms (tested in studies related to this paper). Low toxicity of polyoxyethylene chains (PEO) together with that of other structural units in this polyether primary amides provide the studied glymes with a high compatibility in relation to environment and to plant and animal organisms of the food chain.

Over-stabilized foam has always been a problem that plagues the dodecylamine (DDA) flotation system. In this study, a new device, “automatic foam analyzer”, was successfully used to characterize the behavior of foam in DDA solution. The effects of pH and DDA dosage on the foam properties were investigated from four aspects: bubble diffusion capacity, Bikerman coefficient, half-life period and solution conductivity, and the mechanism of pH and DDA concentration on foam properties was analyzed by solution chemistry and surface tension of DDA, then the change process of foam structure was deduced. The results showed that the foaming property and stability of DDA bubbles were the best at pH=8. Simultaneously, with the increase of DDA dosage, the foaming property of bubbles was enhanced, the half-life was prolonged, and the foam stability was also improved.

Tomato Powder

Tomato is a seasonal horticultural product that has beneficial effects on human health. It contains a high concentration of lycopene and vitamin C. However, tomato production, which continues to increase in Indonesia, is not balanced with its consumption. Due to its high moisture content, harvested tomato relatively has a short shelf-life. Resultantly, the unconsumed tomato will end up being wasted. One way to prolong tomato’s shelf-life is by converting it into powder form. In this research, the tomato was shifted into tomato powder using a foam mat drying method. The weight ratio of GMS to tomato juice was varied: (1) 4%-w/w, (2) 5%-w/w, and (3) 6%-w/w. Tomato powder was then stored in two types of materials (sealed brown glass bottle and laminated aluminium foil (LAF) resealable zipper) and three conditions (refrigerator ( ± 4 ℃), room temperature (± 25.2 ℃) and sun-exposed (± 30 ℃)). According to the results, foam mat drying could maintain the nutrients of the tomato powder. Increasing GMS larger than 5%-w/w had no big impact on reserving lycopene and vitamin C. At 5%-w/w GMS, tomato powder consisted of 1.09%/w/w moisture, 42.58 mg/100 g lycopene, and 123.28 mg/100 g vitamin C. It was found that moisture and vitamin C on tomato powder content was influenced by storage conditions, while lycopene content was influenced by storage material. Moisture content and vitamin C were best maintained at the sun-exposed condition and room temperature, respectively. While lycopene was best stored in the laminated aluminium foil (LAF) resealable zipper.

Five waterlogged wood artefacts were excavated from Suyeong-ri site in Hwaseong, South Korea. The aim of the present study was to identify the species and estimate the date of manufacture and the manufacturing method of these artefacts. The study also aimed to conserve the original shapes of waterlogged wood artefacts by using the vacuum freeze drying method. The two large waterlogged woods were identified as Ulmus spp. and Morus spp., whereas one of the three small waterlogged woods was identified as Abies spp. and the other two as hard pine. Radiocarbon dating using wiggle match dated the manufacturing of these wooden artefacts between BCE 8520-8490 or BCE 8470-8290 in the Neolithic age, and a similar period was also confirmed for seed excavated from a place close to the location where the waterlogged wood artefacts were excavated. The surface of waterlogged wood artefacts had several traces of manufacturing processes - traces of tearing and chopping - were observed. Based on these observations, it was confirmed that stone adz was used to make these wooden artefacts. Thereafter, the waterlogged wood samples were conserved by immersing them into PEG#4,000 of concentration in water from 10% to 40% at room temperature(15~25℃) and subjecting them to vacuum freeze drying. However, the internal moisture was not completely removed in some thick parts of waterlogged woods by applying the general schedule such as raising the shelf temperature as the surface temperature rises. Therefore, additional study is required using the schedule-method for vacuum freeze drying of large waterlogged wood.

In this study, foaming condition of roselle was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) and the effect of drying characteristic was investigated. Roselle extract was foamed by addition of 1-5% w/w foaming agents (ovalbumin). The foaming stabilizer, glycerol mono stearate (0-1% w/w) was used to remain mechanic and thermodynamic stability of foam. As the response foam density and drainage volume was determined. The optimum foam variable was then dried at various drying temperatures (50-70°C). The moisture content was observed by gravimetry every 10 minutes for 90 minutes. Result showed that optimum formulation was 3.31% egg albumin and 1% GMS. The constant rate of the foam mat drying (temperature 50°C) was 3 times higher than non foam mat drying. Higher drying temperature can speed up the driving force but lead to color degradation.

Foam Properties

The application range of the earth pressure balance (EPB) shield has been expanded due to advances in optimization methods, one of which is the application of foam conditioning. This method is widely used in EPB tunnelling owing to its strong applicability in different hydrological and geological conditions. When applying the foam conditioning method under different circumstances, it is necessary to optimize the conditioning parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a test procedure for evaluating foam properties and the conditioning effect. This paper proposes a procedure to assess foaming agents by the mixing test and microscopic observation of the foam and a procedure that combines the slump test, compression test, and shear test to assess the foam-conditioned soil and determine the optimal parameters of conditioning. The test method is introduced and performed on fully weathered granite from Guangzhou Metro Line 21. The test results demonstrate that the foam injection ratio and pressure and type of the foaming agent all influence the performance of the conditioned soil. Moreover, the suggested conditioning scheme is proposed, and the application of the scheme can improve the tunnelling efficiency.
