While attempting to develop a soft, seafood-based product as a potential food item for senior citizens, we evaluated the effects of different softening methods on the hardness and quality of thawed muscular mantle tissue of the neritic squid (Uroteuthis edulis) versus controls. Comparisons were made among injection with proteolytic enzymes (papain, bromelain); soaking in these enzymes or in alkali solutions (NaHCO3, NaOH); various soaking regimes combined with either orbital shaking under vacuum, ultrasonic processing, or ultrasonic cleaning; or hot-air drying and rehydration. Elderly panelists’ sensory impressions of thawed and heat-sterilized squid mantle subjected to these treatments were recorded, together with the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN), pH, color, protein breakdown profile (SDS-PAGE), and histological characteristics of thawed squid mantle subjected to the same treatments but not heat-sterilized. TVBN measurements showed that squid mantle remained in a close-to-fresh state under all treatments except for hot-air drying. The pH and hardness decreased and the muscles turned white when soaked in either enzymes or alkali. Orbital shaking under vacuum while soaking in 0.3% papain for 12 h produced the softest product, the next softest being obtained by injection with 0.3% papain. After orbital shaking under vacuum in 1.0% papain, protein degradation was confirmed by SDS-PAGE, and broken muscle fibers were evident in histological sections. Sensory evaluation panelists with unimpeded chewing ability rated mushy, papain-treated squid mantle poorly. Soaking in 2% NaHCO3 in an ultrasonic processor, following by washing out of the alkali, proved to be a better tenderizing method than either enzyme treatment or hot-air drying for neritic squid mantle intended for consumption by senior citizens.

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

Thin Layer Drying

The horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) is an important crop as ingredients for many commercial food products and medicinal uses. However, the horseradish is perishable and preservation of this crop for supplying year-round is necessary. Drying can be used to preserve the horseradish but establishing a suitable drying method and conditions are important for product quality of dried horseradish. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of hot air-drying temperatures on the physicochemical and textural properties of dried horseradish samples to determine the appropriate hot air-drying conditions. The sliced horseradish samples were dried at 55, 65, 75, 85 and 95 ℃ using a conventional hot air drier. The physicochemical and textural properties of the dried horseradish samples were determined, and the results were compared for different drying temperatures. The ANOVA analysis indicated that the drying temperature affected the physicochemical and textural properties of dried horseradish samples significantly (p<0.05). The experimental results indicated that the moisture content (9.18-6.15%,wb), aw (0.06-0.03), porosity (31.47-12.13%) and rehydration ratio (82.74 -44.47%) decreased and piece density (0.63-0.84 g/mL), hardness (193.63 -298.31N), cohesiveness (1.04-1.32), gumminess (202.13-390.12) and chewiness (635.08-1223.55) of dried horseradish samples increased with the drying temperature. Power law model indicated that the porosity was linearly corelated to the rehydration ratio of dried horseradish samples. The overall results revealed that relatively lower (55-65 ℃) drying temperature range was suitable to keep the quality of the dried horseradish samples. The findings of this study are expected to be helpful for the commercial drying of horseradish samples using hot air-drying method.

Abstract In this study, chiffon cakes were fortified with potato flakes and raw dehydrated potato flour (RDPF) prepared by freeze-drying and hot air drying. The dough’s rheological properties demonstrate that potato flakes are unsuitable for making chiffon cakes, especially at percentages of 30 and 50%. Adding RDPFs decreased the dough height and adhesiveness but increased the hardness slightly compared with the control. Supplementing with potato flakes has the most influence on cake textural properties, especially at percentages of 30 and 50%, which correspondingly reduces the sensory evaluation score. All the RDPF cake formulations exhibited higher comprehensive nutritional value in terms of protein, fat, dietary fiber, minerals, and amino acids. The cake formulations containing RDPF obtained by hot air drying contained the lowest carbohydrate contents.

In order to reduce the damage rate of hot-pepper in the process of drying and transportation, and to improve the quality of dried hot-pepper. In this paper, the mechanical properties of hot-pepper were studied in the process of hot-air drying. The experimental results showed that the hot-pepper’s compressive ability dropped with the decrease of moisture content after the moisture content reached the safe moisture content. With the moisture content decreasing, the variation tendency of the elastic modulus and tensile strain of hot-pepper were first increased and then decreased and finally tended to be stable when it reached 12％. Effect of hot-pepper’s shape on tensile strain is greater than on the maximum load and displacement in the process of drying.
