AbstractEffects of two combination drying methods as well as two single drying methods on the quality of papaya chips were studied. The longest drying time was found in freeze drying (FD), while the shortest drying time was found in hot-air-explosion puffing drying (HA-EPD). The papaya chips dried by FD exhibited the lowest shrinkage, while the highest shrinkage was found in the hot-air drying (HAD) dried sample. The lowest and highest total color differences (△E) were found in the FD and FD-EPD. The FD dehydrated papaya chips showed the highest retention of ascorbic acid and total carotenoids. The fastest rehydration rate was also observed in samples dried by FD. The worst rehydration capacity was found in FD-EPD, which related to the collapsed porous microstructure. Papaya chips prepared by FD-EPD showed crispier texture, which were in line with their expanded porous microstructures. In conclusion, the application of combining with EPD may improve the retention of nutrition of papaya.

Dried Vegetables

Dried vegetables are considered convenient for storage, transportation and preservation. The different drying techniques could influence the quality of resulting products. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of three distinguish drying methods as hot-air drying, foam-mat drying and microwave drying on the color retention and chlorophyll of green vegetables powder. Fresh spinach(Spinacia oleraceaL.), celery (Apium graveolensL.), Malabar spinach (Basella albaL.) were dried by different methods: hot air at 60oC, foam-mat at 60oC and microwave at 270 W until the samples reached approximately 9% of moisture content (wb). The drying time of the dried samples by microwave, foam-mat and hot-air method were 60, 210 and 240 min, respectively. Foam-mat dried vegetables were found to have the best quality in terms of color and the residual chlorophyll content. The findings suggest that foam-mat drying is promising in dried vegetable processing

<em>Experiments were conducted on pre treated dehydrated oyster mushroom with steeping in citric acid and sodium chloride and blanching to investigate the effect of pre treatments and drying methods on drying characteristics of mushroom and quality of dried oyster mushroom. Drying was accomplished in a cabinet dryer using hot air at 40<sup>O </sup>C, 60<sup>O</sup>C and by sun drying. The drying characteristics of mushroom were not affected by the pre-treatments significantly. However, the rate of drying increased with the increase in drying temperature. Increase in drying temperature significantly reduced the total drying time. Pre treatments and drying temperature had adverse influence on the rehydration ratio, hardness and colour of the dehydrated mushrooms. Blanching improves the colour of the dehydrated mushroom but increased hardness also. A loss of protein was observed during blanching</em>

This study determined the effect of drying methods including hot air drying and freeze drying on the quality of cordycepin production from Cordyceps militaris. The fruiting bodies and mycelium of C. militaris were used as the raw material. For hot air drying was performed at 55 °C for 24 hrs. Whereas the freeze drying was carried out under vacuum at 140 L min-1 for 48 hours. The bioactive compound extracted from dried powder of C. militaris from two drying methods was investigated. The results showed that both cordycepin and adenosine extracted from freezed drying sample had higher value than those of extracted from hot air dried sample. The bioactivities of C. militaris extract were investigated. The results revealed that the antioxidant activity and also total phenolic contents of C. militaris extract prepared from freeze drying had higher value than that of extracted from hot air drying. However, most of C. militaris production performed using hot air drying to dry sample because of its low cost technique.

In order to evaluate different drying methods on the quality of Zanthoxylum armatum DC and the change of moisture content of Z armatum during the drying process, the quality change was analyzed under three drying methods: Greenhouse drying equipment, Hot-air drying and Open sun-drying. The moisture loss was systematically recorded, converted to moisture ratio, and fitted to four semi-theoretical drying mathematical models: Lewis, Page, Henderson and Pabis, Avhad and Marchetti models. Comparisons of model fitness were using the coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), mean bias error (MBE) and absolute error (MAE). The results showed that the color of Z armatum obtained by the greenhouse drying equipment was bluish green, which was significantly different from the other two drying methods (p<0.05). The numb degree difference of Z armatum obtained by the three methods was not significant(p>0.05). The opening rate is better in greenhouse drying equipment and hot air 40°C drying. The content of linalool can reach 45.5738~55.3898% of the volatile oil. The drying mathematical models fitting results showed that Avhad and Marchetti models fitted best, and the R2 of the curve ranged from 0.9677 to 0.9967, which could accurately predict the change trend of moisture ratio of Z armatum in three drying methods with drying time.

Blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) were dried combining vacuum, infrared, hot-air and freeze drying technologies. In this paper, examined the drying time and energy consumption of dewatering methods. The rehydration as a physical property were evaluated in dried blueberries. Combination of vacuum dried and freeze dried blueberries had higher rehydration ratio, followed by the single freeze drying, combination of hot-air drying and freeze drying, and infrared-freeze drying methods. The performance evaluation indicated that combination drying of blueberries at two-stage infrared-freeze drying with 60°C and 15 min pre-drying reduced the drying time by 53.4%, besides consuming less energy (52.9%) compared to single freeze drying. Based on the results, primarily vacuum pre-drying, infrared pre-drying and freeze finish-drying may be the economical and optimal solution for dehydrating blueberries.

In this study, the influences of various pre-treatments and combined drying (CD) on the drying kinetics and quality parameters of sour cherry were investigated. Prior to freeze drying (FD), sour cherry was pre-treated by blanching in boiling water (100 °C, 3 and 6 min), immersion in sugar solution (20% w/w, 10 and 20 min) and blanching (100 °C) in sugar solution (20% w/w, 3 and 6 min). Freeze-drying of raw samples was taken as a control. Combined drying (CD) can be accomplished in two distinct ways: freeze drying assisted with hot-air drying application (FD-HAD) and hot-air drying followed by freeze drying (HAD-FD). The quality of the dried sour cherry was evaluated in terms of water activity, color, texture and rehydration. Our research results have shown that all of the pre-treatments can effectively reduce the freeze drying time, the best treatment methods are FD-HAD, HAD-FD and blanching in boiling water (6 min). CD involves much less drying time and energy consumption than conventional freeze drying methods. The highest values of hardness and rehydration were found in blanching in sugar solution with water at 100 °C for 6 min. The better color retention was observed for samples pre-treated with blanching in boiling water (6 min).

It has been demonstrated previously in the literature that utilization of PEF or a combination of a pulsed electric field (PEF) and ultrasounds (US) can facilitate dehydration processes and improve the quality of dried products even better than the application of thermal methods such as blanching. The aim of the study was to evaluate the quality of red bell pepper subjected to freeze-drying preceded by blanching or PEF or US treatment applied in a single and combined mode. Furthermore, the freeze-drying was preceded by shock freezing or vacuum freezing performed inside the freeze-dryer as a result of pressure drop during the first stage of freeze-drying. All of the analyzed technological variants enhanced the drying kinetics when compared to the intact material. Freeze-dried bell pepper subjected to non-thermal pretreatment exhibited higher vitamin C, total phenolic and carotenoids content than blanched material despite the fact that blanching reduced drying time the most compared to all other analyzed methods.

Olive pomace is a semisolid by-product of olive oil production and represents a valuable source of functional phytocompounds. The valorization of agro-food chain by-products represents a key factor in reducing production costs, providing benefits related to their reuse. On this ground, we herein investigate extraction methods with supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) of functional phytocompounds from olive pomace samples subjected to two different drying methods, i.e., freeze drying and hot-air drying. Olive pomace was produced using the two most common industrial olive oil production processes, one based on the two-phase (2P) decanter and one based on the three-phase (3P) decanter. Our results show that freeze drying more efficiently preserves phytocompounds such as α-tocopherol, carotenoids, chlorophylls, and polyphenols, whereas hot-air drying does not compromise the β-sitosterol content and the extraction of squalene is not dependent on the drying method used. Moreover, higher amounts of α-tocopherol and polyphenols were extracted from 2P olive pomace, while β-sitosterol, chlorophylls, and carotenoids were more concentrated in 3P olive pomace. Finally, tocopherol and pigment/polyphenol fractions exerted antioxidant activity in vitro and in accelerated oxidative conditions. These results highlight the potential of olive pomace to be upcycled by extracting from it, with green methods, functional phytocompounds for reuse in food and pharmaceutical industries.

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.

Supplementation of dried bioflocs for red hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) was examined during 57 days of feeding trials. Five experimental treatments; T1 (the control; without bioflocs), T2 (4% freeze-dried bioflocs), T3 (16% freeze-dried bioflocs), T4 (4% oven-dried bioflocs), and T5 (16% oven-dried bioflocs) were prepared to examine the water quality, growth performance and body composition of red hybrid tilapia. T2 and T4 treatments resulted in a higher growth rate and survival similar to the control, while T3 and T5 treatments showed the lowest values of growth performance among all treatments. T1 treatment showed the best quality of culture water followed by T2 and T4 treatments, while T3 treatment resulted in poor water quality followed by T5 treatment. Based on these results, the ratios of bioflocs (4% and 16%) had more effect on fish growth and water quality than the drying methods (freeze-drying and oven-drying). The ratio of 4% freeze-dried or oven-dried bioflocs provided higher growth rates and better water quality parameters similar to the control, while the ratio of 16% showed the worst growth performance and water quality in the present study. In addition, body compositions of tilapia fed 4% dried bioflocs showed better nutritional value than tilapia fed 16% dried bioflocs. Protein and energy levels showed an increasing trend with decreasing supplement levels of bioflocs. Moisture content was significantly higher when supplementation of 16% bioflocs was used. Overall, supplementation of 4% freeze-dried or oven-dried bioflocs can be successively included in red hybrid tilapia diets without any effects on growth or body composition and can result in a good quality of culture water for red hybrid tilapia.
