This research evaluated the effects of microwave and high-voltage pretreatments on convective freeze drying of mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) independently. The effect of the microwave (5 W/g for 5 min) and high electric field (HEF; 430 kV/m for 15 min) as pretreatments on enhancement of the drying rates during subsequent drying and the value addition due to the above pretreatments on the quality of the final dehydrated products were investigated. An exponential mathematical model was developed by fitting the drying kinetics to the Page equation to predict the effects of the pretreatments on the drying kinetics of the mushrooms. The parameters considered for the evaluation of product quality project included color, texture, shrinkage properties, and rehydration ratio of the dried mushrooms. The drying rate of HEF-pretreated mushrooms was found to be unaffected overall when compared to the control and the HEF pretreatment resulted in better quality product and less overall shrinkage. Freeze drying of the pretreated mushrooms was found to result in slower drying rate but better overall quality and rehydration ratio. 相似文献

ABSTRACTFor dehydrated foods, porosity is a crucial parameter which affects mass and heat transfers, and is related to the product quality. It is important to monitor porosity change behavior to optimize the drying process. To achieve faster drying along with high product quality, microwave freeze drying (MFD) was applied to mushrooms dehydration processing. The relationship between porosity (include total, open-, and closed-pore porosity) and dried mushroom qualities was studied, and a suitable microwave loading strategy was obtained. It was found that lots of open pores could transform to closed pores while the moisture content (MC) was below 0.25?±?0.05?g/g (db), and the closed-pore porosity was arrived at a relatively stable level at moisture content below 0.17?±?0.03?g/g (db). Both total porosity and closed-pore porosity had a significant influence (P?<?0.01) on texture of MFD mushroom, and open-pore porosity had a significant effect (P?<?0.01) on rehydration ratio of MFD mushroom. According to the porosity change behavior of mushrooms, a dynamic microwave loading strategy can be used to reduce drying time and keep product quality during MFD process. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to compare the physical characteristics and flavor of dried hawthorns obtained by freeze-drying (FD), microwave freeze-drying (MFD), atmospheric freeze-drying (AFD), and heat pump drying (HPD). The parameters including moisture content, product temperature, rehydration ratio, chroma, hue angle, yellowness index, total color difference, and energy consumption were investigated. The use of fuzzy reasoning for the sensory evaluation of hawthorn quality was also performed. As expected, AFD, FD, and MFD produced better accepted dried hawthorn products than did HPD. Nevertheless, FD consumed the highest energy and had a long drying time, but its product was the best; AFD had a similar energy cost as HPD, but its drying time was the longest; and MFD had a higher energy cost and longer drying time than HPD, but its product quality was similar to that of FD products. As a result, MFD and AFD had potential to replace FD to yield dried hawthorns with high product quality and relatively low cost. 相似文献

In order to achieve faster drying along with high product quality, microwave freeze-drying (MFD) was applied to dry button mushrooms. Although MFD can lead to similar product quality compared with freeze-drying (FD), the color deterioration of MFD mushroom is higher than FD ones. Therefore, two drying methods were used to investigate the browning behaviors of button mushrooms during MFD in terms of parameters including polyphenol oxidase activity, total phenolic content, moisture content, reducing sugar content, and vitamin C content. It was found that both whiteness and browning degree can be used to describe the browning kinetics of button mushrooms during the MFD process. Both nonenzymatic browning and enzymatic browning took place during MFD of button mushrooms, but the effect of enzymatic browning was more significant, which should be controlled during MFD. In order to avoid enzymatic browning during MFD of button mushrooms, a relatively low microwave power at initial stage of MFD should be adopted. Meanwhile, a low microwave power also should be used at the end stage of MFD so as to reduce nonenzymatic browning. 相似文献

Abstract Wild cabbage was dehydrated by a combination of hot-air drying and microwave vacuum drying. It showed that the total drying time was reduced by about half while the retention values of the nutrient components and chlorophyll were improved significantly. Microwave/vacuum-dried products had a more porous texture. Finally, microwave drying showed effective bactericidal action in the product with acceptable quality of dried product. 相似文献

Optimization of Microwave-Vacuum Drying of Button Mushrooms Using Response-Surface Methodology 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
S. K. Giri 《Drying Technology》2013,31(5):901-911
Button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporous) were dried in a microwave-vacuum dryer up to a final moisture content of around 6% (d.b.). The effect of microwave power level (115 to 285 W), system pressure (6.5 to 23.5 kPa), and slice thickness (6 to 14 mm) on drying efficiency and some quality attributes (color, texture, rehydration ratio, and sensory attributes) of dehydrated mushrooms were analyzed by means of response surface methodology. A rotatable central composite design was used to develop models for the responses.Analysis of variance showed that a second-order polynomial model predicted well the experimental data. The system pressure strongly affected color, hardness, rehydration ratio, and sensory attributes of dehydrated mushrooms. A lower pressure during drying resulted in better quality products. Optimum drying conditions of 202 W microwave power level, 6.5 kPa pressure, and 7.7 mm slice thickness were established for microwave vacuum drying of button mushrooms. Separate validation experiment was conducted at the derived optimum conditions to verify the predictions and adequacy of the models. 相似文献

Abstract A mathematic model of simultaneous heat and mass transfer for the dielectric material assisted microwave freeze-drying was derived and solved numerically using the finite-deference technique with two moving boundaries. Lactose, a typical pharmaceutical excipient, was used as the representative solid material in the aqueous solution to be freeze-dried. Silicon carbide (SiC) was selected as the dielectric material. Numerical results show that the dielectric material can significantly enhance the microwave freeze-drying process. Under typical operating conditions, the drying time is 43% shorter than that of ordinary microwave freeze-drying. Temperature variations at sublimation fronts were examined in order to determine the appropriate microwave power input. Profiles of temperature, ice saturation, vapor concentration, and pressure during freeze-drying are presented, and rate-controlling mechanisms are discussed. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Strawberries pretreated with 2% ethyl oleate and 0.5% NaOH were osmotically dehydrated and their osmotic dehydration rate is compared with untreated berries. It was found that treated berries dehydrated belter compared to untreated berries. Osmotically dehydrated berries were convective and microwave dried at different power levels and results were compared with respect to drying time and rate. The rehydration ratio, texture, color and sensory values are compared with freeze dried strawberries with the same pretreatment. It was found that microwave drying was short in time and the quality parameters of the microwave dried berries were comparable to those of freeze dried berries. 相似文献

Abstract The objectives of this work were to carry out the microwave and microwave-convective drying of pear, in order to preserve the quality by reducing the drying time of the fruit; to compare the kinetic with convective drying mode data and to fit the comparative data to models from literature. The effect of osmotic dehydration and the variation in the microwave power were analyzed at constant values of air temperature and velocity. The experimental data fit well the proposed kinetic model. The processed pear was evaluated with respect to water content, quantity of calcium, phosphorus and potassium, water activity and apparent density. The best results were found for the samples osmotically dehydrated and dried in the microwave-convective dryer. The osmotic dehydration and the short drying times were important to maintain sample characteristics. 相似文献

Effects of Heating Conditions on the Thermal Denaturation of White Mushroom Suitable for Dehydration
《Drying Technology》2013,31(5):1119-1125
Abstract White mushrooms suitable for drying are thermolabile materials. At present, the determination of thermal denaturation of dehydrated white mushroom mainly depends on the drying technology. To choose the appropriate dehydration technology for thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used for determining the denaturing temperature range. White mushrooms at five different moisture content levels were chosen for the DSC tests. Five heating rates were used to observe the change of the denaturing ranges. Finally, the effects of short-term storage and instantaneous increases in temperature on the change of denaturing areas are discussed. 相似文献

AbstractAtmospheric freeze-drying (AFD) at ?10?°C and moderate temperature convective drying (MTD) at 50?°C without and with ultrasound application (20.5?kW/m3) were carried out. Alcohol insoluble residue (AIR) and its swelling capacity (SC), water retention capacity (WRC) and fat retention capacity (FRC) were measured in the dried product. Ultrasound significantly shortened the drying time in both processes, the intensification effect being more significant in atmospheric freeze-drying (57% and 27% reduction in atmospheric freeze-drying and convective drying, respectively). As regards AIR and WRC, no effect was observed of either the drying temperature or ultrasound application. On the contrary, SC was significantly lower in AFD samples. The FRC of MTD samples was similar to that of the fresh ones and higher than the values obtained for atmospheric freeze-dried samples. Therefore, convective drying at moderate temperature preserved the AIR properties better than atmospheric freeze-drying. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Drying related properties of apple are evaluated for various different drying methods (namely, convective, vacuum, microwave, osmotic and freeze drying), and their corresponding process conditions. The examined properties are drying kinetics, equilibrium material moisture content, density, porosity, color and viscoelastic characteristics. The effect of various process factors on these properties is described through particular mathematical models. The model parameters are estimated by fitting the corresponding model equations on a wide range of experimental data. Drying kinetics is greatly affected by the characteristic particle size and drying air temperature for convective drying, while for the case of microwave drying they are affected by the vacuum pressure and the emitted radiation power. Equilibrium material moisture content is affected by the temperature and the humidity of the surrounding air, while the osmotic pretreatment shifts the sorption isotherms to higher water activity levels. The quality properties examined, are significantly affected by the drying method. More specifically, osmotic dehydration decreases the porosity of the final product, while it prevents color deterioration and enchances the viscous nature of dehydrated apple. Freeze-dried apples develop the highest porosity, have the most elastic structure and the lowest rate of color deterioration. 相似文献

ABSTRACT The effect of drying conditions, namely, microwave power, vacuum pressure, as well as sample geometry, on the drying kinetics and rehydration characteristics of five microwave vacuum dehydrated fruits (apple, avocado, mushroom, pear and strawberry) was studied. The investigation involved a wide range of microwave power, vacuum pressure and sample size levels. The drying rate and the rehydration ratio, a measure of rehydration characteristics, were found to depend on the drying conditions. An empirical mass transfer model, involving a characteristic parameter for each process (drying and rehydration( as a function of process variables, namely, microwave power, vacuum pressure and sample size, was also tested with the data obtained in a microwave oven equipped with vacuum apparatus. Furthermore, a comparison of rehydration properties of microwave vacuum and conventionally dehydrated products, was conducted. 相似文献

Freeze drying (FD) yields the best quality of dried mushroom but at the cost of a long drying time and high overall cost. Air drying (AD) gives an unacceptably poor quality product. To achieve faster drying along with a high-quality product, a microwave–freeze drying (MFD) technique was developed to dry mushrooms. The relationship between dried mushroom quality and the glass transition temperature during the MFD process was studied to optimize the MFD process. According to the change tendency of the glass transition temperature of mushroom during MFD, a step-down microwave loading scheme for the MFD process was developed to obtain good product quality. 相似文献

Combination of osmotic dehydration with microwave assisted air drying offers increased flexibility for process control and product quality. Osmotic dehydration (55°Brix solution at 40 °C for 90 min) combined with microwave assisted air drying (MWAD) was tested on smooth cayenne pineapples. The influence of the four most relevant processing parameters (osmotic treatment time, microwave power, air temperature and air velocity) was studied using a 24 circumscribed central composite experimental design. The product quality was evaluated in terms of charred appearance at the surface, moisture content, soluble solids content, water activity, firmness, colour and volume. Microwave power and air temperature were the two most important processing parameters that influenced the quality of the dehydrated pineapple, with the parameters most affected by the operating conditions being water content and percentage of charred pieces. Only in the latter was a significant quadratic effect found, all others were approximately linear. There was also a significant interactive effect between microwave power and air temperature affecting the percentage of charred pieces. Model predictions using a quadratic surface for water content and % charred pieces were validated with an additional experiment. Quadratic models were used to indicate optimum drying conditions for various targets. 相似文献

In this study, the possibilities of protecting the color of dried golden and pink mushrooms were investigated, and color parameters of dried mushrooms were modeled by artificial neural network (ANN). For this purpose, first, the golden oyster mushroom (Pleurotus citrinopileatus) and pink oyster mushroom (Pleurotus djamor) were cultivated. Then, pretreatments were applied using citric acid (CA) and potassium metabisulfite (KMS) with different rates (0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%) separately, excluding control group mushrooms. All mushrooms were dried for 330 minutes in a laboratory type oven at two different temperatures (40°C and 50°C) until completely dehydrated. Colorimetric values (L*, a*, and b*) were determined using Konica Minolta CM‐2600d spectrophotometer for 30 minute intervals during the drying process. The obtained data were modeled using the ANN technique. The results show that darkening of mushrooms increased as the drying temperature increased. CA and KMS showed better results for dried golden and pink mushrooms, respectively. Thanks to the pretreatment, the mushroom's original color was protected compared with control samples. All mean absolute percentage error values of models were determined, which were lower than 4.0%. It was concluded that ANN can be a good way to predict the color of dried golden and pink mushrooms (pretreated or not) with a high degree of accuracy. 相似文献

ABSTRACT A mathematical model for freeze-drying without back surface heating is established first in this paper by a combination of URIF (uniformly retreating ice front) and Sheng/Peck's theories. Explicit analytical expressions are obtained for the rates of interface movement and drying. The predicted drying rate and temperature profile are in good agreement with the Sheng/Peck's model results. Furthermore, the model is extended to the process of freeze-drying with back heating in which the temperature at the interface is assumed to increase along the path of movement. It is shown that the average rates for drying and interface moving may be obtained by assuming a quadric distribution for the interface temperature. 相似文献

Abstract It is now well recognized that matching the external drying condition with the drying kinetics of a material can lead to substantial savings of energy and in the case of heat-sensitive products, even to higher quality product. In this work, the effect of convection and microwave heat input and other product parameters on the batch drying characteristics of model materials, potato and carrot slabs, whose thermo-physical data are readily available in the literature, was modeled using a one dimensional liquid diffusion model. The influence of various thermo-physical properties of the product in drying of heat-sensitive materials was quantitatively assessed. Heat of wetting, temperature and moisture dependent effective diffusivity and thermal conductivity are considered in this model. The effect of moisture diffusivity on drying using convection and a microwave field is simulated in view of the interest in predicting the drying performance by simplified method. Conditions under which the drying rate is controlled by the external drying conditions and the internal thermo-physical properties of the product are computed and discussed. 相似文献

AbstractVacuum freeze-drying (VFD) is a dehydration method based on the sublimation of the liquid phase contained in a certain product, previously frozen, at low pressure and temperature. Since it is a time and energy consuming process, it is crucial to select the best processing conditions to minimize drying duration, thus reducing the energy requirement. Additionally, product temperature must be monitored since it plays an important role in preserving product quality. The aim of this study was to develop a Diffuse Interface Model (DIM) for in-silico simulation of the freeze-drying process of individually frozen products. Due to the geometrical features of the samples, and to the role of radiation in the heat transfer to the product, the usual one-dimensional approach is inappropriate. Using a DIM, each cell of the computational domain can be described as a porous solid matrix filled by ice and vapor with a time-varying composition, thus allowing the use of a fixed computational grid and making the computation effort less demanding in comparison to moving interface-based models. Drying of eggplant cubic samples was considered as case study: model parameters were estimated by fitting the experimentally measured product temperature and drying time to the calculated ones. The model was proven to be reliable in providing an accurate estimate of both the drying time and the product temperature. Therefore, it can be used for off-line process design and optimization, minimizing the experimental effort required to design and optimize the process. 相似文献
