新疆杏脯降糖脱硫加工新技术的研究

高糖、高硫是限制新疆杏脯出口和内销的主要因素。采用加酸烫漂脱硫加工技术，可使产品含硫量（以ＳＯ２计）降至０５ｍｇ·ｇ－１以下；糖渍液中添加适量的氯化钠、氯化钙、柠檬酸以及蜂蜜可以降低制品的含糖量并可得到同样的保藏性能；明胶、琼脂是低糖杏脯合适的组织填充物，在糖渍液中的添加量分别是１０ｍｇ·ｇ－１，２０ｍｇ·ｇ－１。先糖渍后去核的杏脯加工新工艺应该在生产杏脯的果品加工厂推广应用。     

FT-NIR spectroscopy for the quality characterization of apricots (Prunus armeniaca L.)

Abstract: The nondestructive assessment of apricot fruit quality (Bora cultivar) was carried out by means of FT-NIR reflectance spectroscopy in the wavenumber range 12000 to 4000 cm⁻¹. Samples were harvested at four different ripening stages and scanned by a fiber optical probe immediately after harvesting and after a storage of 3 d (2 d at 4 °C and 1 d at 18 °C); the flesh firmness (FF), the soluble solids content (SSC), the acidity (A), and the titratable acidity (malic and citric acids) were then measured by destructive methods. Soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) analysis was used to classify spectra according to the ripening stage and the storage: partial least squares regression (PLS) models to predict FF, SSC, A, and the titratable acidity were also set-up for both just harvested and stored apricots. Spectral pretreatments and wavenumber selections were conducted on the basis of explorative principal component analysis (PCA). Apricot spectra were correctly classified in the right class with a mean classification rate of 87% (range: 80% to 100%). Test set validations of PLS models showed R² values up to 0.620, 0.863, 0.842, and 0.369 for FF, SSC, A, and the titratable acidity, respectively. The best models were obtained for the SSC and A and are suitable for rough screening; a lower power prediction emerged for the other maturity indices and the relative predictive models are not recommended. Practical Application : The results of the study could be used as a tool for the assessment of the ripening stage during the harvest and the quality during the postharvest storage of apricot fruits.     

Desulphiting dried apricots by exposure to hot air flow

Sulphited dried apricots were exposed to hot air flows at 40, 50 and 60 °C and the removal of SO₂ was investigated as their moisture content fell from an initial value of 193.2 g kg^?1 to a final value of 80–90 g kg^?1. A first‐order kinetic model was found for the removal of SO₂ between 40 and 60 °C. Temperature quotients (Q₁₀) for the removal of SO₂ were 2.84 between 40 and 50 °C and 4.93 between 50 and 60 °C; the activation energy (E_a) was 114.40 kJ mol^?1 between 40 and 60 °C. Analysis of the kinetic data also suggested a first‐order reaction for non‐enzymatic browning, with Q₁₀ values of 2.34 between 40 and 50 °C and 5.36 between 50 and 60 °C and an E_a value of 109.36 kJ mol^?1 between 40 and 60 °C. Exposure of dried apricots to a 60 °C air flow resulted in a rate constant for brown pigment formation that was 12 and 5 times higher than those at 40 and 50 °C respectively. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

HS-SPME-GC-MS/MS结合ROAV值鉴定新疆库车小白杏的关键香气物质

该研究优化了顶空固相微萃取-气相色谱双质谱（Headspace Solid Phase Microextraction with Gas Chromatography Coupled to Tandem Mass Spectrometry,HS-SPME-GC-MS/MS）联用技术检测新疆库车小白杏挥发性化合物组成的方法,并基于相对香气活性值（Relative Odor Activity Value,ROAV）鉴定其关键性香气物质,对小白杏呈香属性指纹进行分析。结果表明：使用50/30 μm聚二乙烯基苯/碳吸附剂/聚二甲基硅氧烷（Divinylbenzene/Carboxen/Polydimethylsiloxane,DVB/CAR/PDMS）的萃取纤维,萃取温度为65 ℃,萃取时间为50 min时,萃取效率最高。在该条件下,共鉴定出小白杏中含有的46种挥发性物质,其中醇类物质含量最高（34.57%）,其次是酯类（33.77%）和醛类物质（24.77%）。ROAV分析表明,β-紫罗兰酮、γ-癸内酯、二氢-β-紫罗兰酮、芳樟醇、月桂烯以及α-紫罗兰酮为关键香气物质（ROAV>1）,赋予了小白杏浓郁的果香、花香以及木香。呈香属性指纹分析表明,与吊干杏相比,小白杏的青草香、果香、椰子香、柑橘香以及花香更为强烈,只有木香较弱。该研究确定了新疆库车小白杏中含有的关键香气成分,可为探索具有小白杏风味的产品研发提供参考依据。     

Ethyl nicotinate

Ethyl nicotinate was found to be a potent attractant forThrips obscuratus in peaches and apricots. The male-to-female ratio in traps was 18. The chemical was more attractive than ripe fruit, with peak catches at harvest. Season-long trapping showed the efficiency of the chemical compared to unbaited traps. The chemical remained attractive for at least 2 weeks when 50 l were placed in open 2-ml vial caps. Various pyralids, geometrids (Lepidoptera), and chironomids (Diptera) were also attracted in low numbers to ethyl nicotinate.     

Desulfiting Dried Apricots by Hydrogen Peroxide

ABSTRACT: Removal of sulfites from excessively sulfited dried apricots using hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was studied. Dried apricots were dipped into 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% H₂O₂ solutions at 20 °C and 40 °C for various times. At 60 °C, apricots were also treated with 1% H₂O₂ solution. Removal of sulfites by H₂O₂ followed a 1st-order kinetic model. At 20 °C to 60 °C and 1% H₂O₂ concentration, the E_a value was 22.46 kJ mol⁻¹. H₂O₂ treatment caused lighter, more yellow, and less red dried apricots. Critical factors for H₂O₂ application are choosing the appropriate H₂O₂ concentration, temperature, and exposure time and without bleaching the natural color of dried apricots.     

FUNDAMENTALS OF LIQUID SPRAY TECHNIQUES

Two twin forced convection dryers of 1.5 m³ were built in Majorca (Spain). They are of a mixed kind, with solar air collectors and a green house type chamber. A wooden frame supports polycarbonate walls. After two years operation they have been proven weather resistant. Six solar air collectors 2.12 × 1.05 m were used in each dryer.

Apricots were processed in both dryers and at open sun. Three different tray heights were tested 5, 9 and 12 cm. The best results were obtained with 12 cm trays. Recycling part of the exhaust air improves the efficiency of the dryer. Blanching the fruits makes no difference to the dehydration rate. The rate of SO₂ loss during the drying process is higher within the chamber.     

Effects of various sulphuring methods and storage temperatures on the physical and chemical quality of dried apricots

The effects of different sulphuring methods, i.e. sulphuring by “burning the elemental sulphites (BES),” “SO₂ gas from liquified SO₂ tank (SG)” and “dipping into sodium metabisulphite solution (DSM)” on the colour (brown colour formation and carotenoid degradation) and the loss of SO₂ in apricots from Hac?halilo?lu and Kabaa?? varieties stored at 5, 20 and 30 °C for a year were investigated. There were significant effects of variety, sulphuring method and especially storage at 30 °C on the brown colour formation and loss of SO₂ (P < 0.05). As storage temperature–time increased, β-carotene content decreased. Sulphuring methods and variety did not show significant effect on β-carotene content (P > 0.05). The changes in L^∗, b^∗ and C^∗ values were directly associated with β-carotene content and browning values. The most suitable method for all samples, except for Hac?halilo?lu variety stored at 30 °C (BES), is SG, because the samples retained their attractive golden yellow colour during storage.     

微波干燥条件对杏脯干燥特性与品质的影响

目的:提高杏脯的干燥效率及产品品质。方法:分别用转盘式微波炉(RMD)和微波对流耦合干燥机(MCD)干燥杏脯,考察微波功率、微波发射方式、切分程度及物料是否转动对杏脯干燥特性、焦化率、色值、感官品质及复水特性的影响,并与传统热风干燥(HD)进行比较。结果:与HD的1 040 min(16块)和840 min(48块)相比,微波干燥显著缩短干燥时间,不同微波干燥条件下所需的干燥时间为40～400 min;脉冲比越大或功率越高或物料尺寸越大,干燥所用时间越短,在MCD中控温微波干燥耗时最长。无论是在RMD还是不控温MCD中静态干燥,杏脯均出现严重的烧焦现象,焦化率为17%～100%,物料转动时焦化率高于静态干燥的,而在MCD中控温静态干燥避免了物料的烧焦现象,且MCD中控温静态干燥的杏脯色值和感官评价最接近HD的,复水比与HD仅相差3.45%～5.17%,获得最高的感官评价分(87.2分)。结论:MCD中控温静态干燥可以作为杏脯的高效干燥方法。     

Sulphur dioxide evolution during dried apricot storage

Sulphur dioxide is used as a pre-treatment to facilitate drying, improve product quality and extend the shelf life of apricots. During storage, SO₂ losses are observed, thus reducing the effect of this agent. The aim of this paper is to analyze the evolution of SO₂ content in dried apricots packaged in different types of containers, namely glass and polypropylene trays thermosealed with different films (oriented polyamide OPA + polyethylene PE and polyamide PA + polypropylene PP). The packaging atmosphere was air in all cases. Storage was carried out at constant temperature: 5, 15, 25 and 35 °C. Stored samples were analysed periodically over 12 months. In order to model the SO₂ losses, two empirical kinetic models were tested: these models assimilate this process to a first order irreversible and a first order reversible kinetics. The explained variance being higher than 94% in all cases, but only the reversible kinetics is able to depict the residual SO₂ observed.
