Mass Transfer Kinetics

Autumn olive fruits were osmo-dehydrated in sucrose solution at 70 °C under vacuum and atmospheric pressure. The mass transfer kinetics data were applied to the models of Azuara, Crank, Page, and Peleg. The Peleg model was the best-fitted model to predict the water loss and solid gain of both treatments. The vacuum application decreased the effective diffusivities from 2.19 × 10−10 to 1.55 × 10−10 m2·s−1 for water loss and from 0.72 × 10−10 to 0.62 × 10−10 m2·s−1 for sugar gain. During the osmotic dehydration processes, the water activity decreased and stabilized after 5 h, while the bulk densities increased from 1.04 × 103 to 1.26 × 103 kg/m3. Titratable acidity gradually reduced from 1.14 to 0.31% in the atmospheric pressure system and from 1.14 to 0.51% in the vacuum system. pH increased significantly in both systems. Good retention of lycopene was observed even after 10 h of treatments. For the color parameters, the lightness decreased and stabilized after 30 min. In comparison, the redness and yellowness increased in the first 30 min and gradually decreased towards the initial levels in the fresh fruit.

This paper presents the effects of different process temperature (20, 35 and 50 ?C), immersion time (1, 3 and 5 hours) and the concentration of sugar beet molasses + NaCl + sucrose water solution on osmotic dehydration of pork meat (M. triceps brachii) cubes, shaped 1 x 1 x 1 cm, at atmospheric pressure. The main objective was to examine the influence of different parameters on the mass transfer kinetics during osmotic treatment. The observed system?s responses were: water loss, solid gain, and water activity. The optimum osmotic conditions (temperature of 40 ?C, treatment time of 4.1 h and concentration 67 %), were determined using response surface method, by superimposing the contour plots of each process variable, and the responses were: water loss=0.46, solid gain=0.15, and water activity=0.79. Transport coefficients, for both solids and water transfer and energy of activation for all samples were also determined.

Previous study has explored dip dehydration as a novel variant of osmotic dehydration to reduce solid gain, which is the main problem of osmotic dehydration. However, this dehydration process commonly uses sucrose solution as osmotic agent which might contribute to the increase in glycaemic index and can also be linked to different diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of using alternative sweeteners as an osmotic agent on mass transfer, colour, and texture profiles during dip dehydration of apple slices. Three alternative sweeteners, i.e., erythritol, sorbitol and xylitol with 30% (w/v) concentration were used in this study. Apple slices with 1.5 mm thickness and diameter of 55 mm were dipped multiple time in the same concentrated solution every 40 minutes until 200 minutes before samples were analysed. Findings showed that different type of sweetener affect water loss and solid gain. Xylitol and sorbitol gave highest water loss about 36% and 40%, respectively. Lowest total colour different with fresh apple has been observed in sample treated with xylitol. As for texture, there is no remarkable effect of using alternative sweetener as osmotic agent at all processing times. Overall, the best alternative sweetener for sucrose is xylitol considering the mass transfer and quality of apple slices.

The One

The purpose of this paper is twofold: on the one hand, we verify effectiveness of alternatives solutes to sucrose solution as osmotic agents, while on the other hand we intend to analyze modeling transfer parameters, using different models. There has also been proposed a new mass transfer parameter—true water loss, which includes actual solid gain during the process. Additional consideration of a new ratio (Cichowska et al. Ratio) can be useful for better interpretation of osmotic dehydration (OD) in terms of practical applications. Apples v. Elise were dipped into 30% concentrated solutions of erythritol, xylitol, maltitol, and dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to remove some water from the tissue. To evaluate the efficiency of these solutes, 50% concentrated sucrose solution was used as a control. All of the tested osmotic agent, except maltitol, were effective in the process as evidenced by high values in the true water loss parameter. Solutions of erythritol and xylitol in 30% concentrate could be an alternative to sucrose in the process of osmotic dehydration. Peleg’s, Kelvin–Voigt, and Burgers models could fit well with the experimental data. modeling of mass transfer parameters, using Peleg’s model can be satisfactorily supplemented by Kelvin–Voigt and Burgers model for better prediction of OD within the particular periods of the process.

The applicability of Peleg?s model was investigated for predicting mass transfer kinetics during osmotic dehydration (OD) process of pears, at different concentrations (40%, 60% and 70% w/w) and temperatures (20?C, 35?C and 50?C) of sucrose solution. Increase in sucrose solution concentration resulted in higher water loss (WL) and solid gain (SG) values through the osmotic treatment period. After 360 minutes of osmotic treatment of pears, WL ranges from 23.71 % to 31.68 % at 20?C, from 24.80 % to 40.38 % at 35?C and from 33.30 % to 52.07 % at 50 ?C of initial weight of pears. The increase of dry mass of the samples, SG, after 360 minutes of osmotic treatment ranges from 3.02 % to 6.68 % at 20?C, from 4.15 % to 7.71 % at 35?C and from 5.00 % to 8.92 % at 50?C. Peleg?s rate constants k1WL and k1SG, decreased with increasing temperature, as well as decreased with increasing concentration of osmotic solution at constant temperature. Both capacity constants k2WL and k2SG also exhibits the inverse relationship between capacity constant and temperature, as well as concentration of the osmotic solution. The Peleg?s rate constants for WL and SG at all temperatures followed Arrhenius type relationship. The model predicted equilibrium values were very close to experimental ones, which is confirmed with high coefficients of determination and by the residual analysis.

Abstract Physalis was osmotically dehydrated with 60 °Bx sucrose or sorbitol solutions at 60 °C and with a mass ratio of sample to solution of 1:4, at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum at 150 mbar. The Crank’s, Peleg’s and Page’s models were tested to describe the mass transfer kinetics for water loss (WL) and solids gain (SG). The effective diffusivities of both water and solute were around 10-11 m2 s-1 under all conditions. Peleg’s model presented the best fit. The use of sorbitol as the osmotic agent resulted in an increase in the WL rate. In experiments with sucrose solutions, a higher WL was obtained under vacuum than at atmospheric pressure. The SG was particularly low during osmotic dehydration. Thus, the use of sorbitol as the osmotic agent was shown to be a promising alternative to sucrose.

Tilapia Fillets

To investigate behavior of osmotic dehydration and mass transfer of tilapia fillet in sucrose solution, the changes of moisture content (MC), solid gain (SG) were quantitatively determined during osmotic treatments of fresh tilapia fillets with the sucrose solution concentration (20-40%), temperature (20-30°C), fillet thickness (1-5mm) and osmotic time (1-8h) as the independent treatment factors. Results were as follows: First, MC of fish fillet decreased, and SG of fish fillet increased with increasing of the concentration of sucrose solution. Second, the osmotic dehydration of fish fillet was fast during the first hour and slowed during the 2nd or 4th hour. Third, the dehydration and SG of fish fillet increased with increasing of treatment temperature, but influence of temperature on osmotic dehydration and SG was decreasing with increasing of the concentration of sucrose solution. Finally, a thinner fillet was found to own higher of dehydration and SG than a thicker one.

The aim of this work was to elaborate a predictive model of the mass transfer (water loss and solute gain) that occurs during dewatering and soaking by using neural network modelling. Two separate feedforward networks with one hidden layer were used (for water loss and solute gain respectively). Model validation was carried out on results obtained previously, which dealt with agar gel soaked in sucrose solution over a wide experimental range (temperature, 30-70 °C; solu tion concentration, 30-70 g sucrose/100 g solution; time 0-500 min; agar concentration, 2-8%). The best results were obtained with three hidden neurons, which made it possible to predict mass transfer, with an accuracy at least as good as the experimental error, over the whole experimental range. The technological interest of such a model is related to a rapidity in simulation compa rable to that of a traditional transfer function, a limited number of parameters and experimental data, and the fact that no preliminary assumption on the underlying mechanisms was needed.

Background: Bilimbi is a profusely bearing tree and majority of fruits produced are wasted due to lack of proper preservation methods. Osmo-dehydration studies on quality attributes of bilimbi (Averroha bilimbi) was conducted with the objective to standardize the process variables for osmodehydrated bilimbi and to assess the retention of bioactive compounds. Methods: Harvested mature bilimbi fruits of uniform size were washed, surface dried, pricked and blanched in hot water for one minute. Blanched fruits were subjected to osmotic treatment, with sucrose solution of 40, 60 and 80°B for 60, 120 and 180 minutes. The osmodehydrated bilimbi fruits were analyzed for mass transfer, biochemical and sensory qualities. Best treatments were stored for four months in the room temperature. Result: Mass transfer characters viz., solid gain, water loss, percentage weight reduction, yield and biochemical parameters such as reducing sugar and total sugar increased with increase in osmotic concentration and immersion time whereas free acids, ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity were decreased. The osmotic treatment of 80°B for 180 minutes recorded the highest value for solid gain (5.10%), water loss (16.72%), weight reduction (22.57%), ratio of water loss to solid gain (3.25%) and yield (21.13%) which exhibited superior sensory scores for taste (8.43), flavor (8.27), texture (8.46) and overall acceptability (8.43). The best three treatments selected based on sensory analysis were subjected to storage stability studies under room temperature. Osmodehydrated bilimbi obtained highest sensory score at the end of storage.

Impact of pretreatment on colour and texture of watermelon rind The effect of osmotic dehydration pretreatment on water loss, solid gain, colour and textural change was investigated. Watermelon rind 1 x 1 cm size was immersed in sucrose solution of 40, 50 and 60° Brix after pretreatment with microwave and conventional boiling in water for 1, 3, and 5 min, respectively. Water loss and solid gain increased with the time of cooking and sugar concentration. Microwave pretreated samples showed higher water loss and solid gain. Increase in the time of cooking decreased the brightness of all the samples. Microwave pretreated samples showed higher ‘b’ values than conventionally pretreated ones. There was no significant difference (P≤0.05) in texture profile analysis parameters except for hardness. Hardness decreased with increase in time of cooking and sugar concentration. Second order regression model was developed for water loss and solid gain of microwave and conventional pretreated watermelon rind.

Osmotic dehydration of 3.5 mm thick blanched carrot slices was carried out in order to study the effect of sucrose concentration, solution temperature and time on mass transfer kinetics and mass diffusivity. The experiments were conducted at the combinations of four sucrose concentration (30, 40, 50 and 60% w/w) and four solution temperatures (25, 37.5, 50 and 62.5°C). At each combination, nine time intervals (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100 and 120 min) were selected to determine the moisture loss and sucrose gain. Sample-to-solution ratio was kept 1:10 w/w through all the experiments. It was found that sucrose concentration and time of osmosis increased mass transfer whereas; solution temperature showed effect only on solid gain. Azuara’s models were used to determine the mass transfer kinetics and variable mass diffusivity coefficients. The average moisture diffusivity and solid diffusivity values were in the range 2.23×10-8 to 12.85×10-8 m2/s and 1.20×10-8 to 7.64×10-8 m2/s, respectively. Also, at each concentration, the values of activation energies for moisture loss and solid gain were found to be in the range 12.46 to 24.98 kJ K-1 mol-1 and 9.68 to 31.27 kJ K-1 mol-1, respectively.
