三种熏蒸剂在果蔬保鲜中应用的研究进展

果蔬在采后以及贮藏过程中易发生氧化褐变、组织软化、腐烂变质等生理生化变化,造成果蔬品质下降、经济损失和资源的浪费,因此,果蔬保鲜技术的研究与应用显得尤为重要。熏蒸技术主要是利用熏蒸剂在密闭空间内以气态形式扩散并与果蔬作用,通过调控多酚氧化酶(PPO)、过氧化物酶(POD)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)等酶活性、抑制细菌生长等方面发挥保鲜作用。本文主要综述了近年来普遍使用的乙醇、一氧化氮和植物精油等熏蒸剂在果蔬保鲜中应用研究进展,为果蔬保鲜研究中熏蒸剂的选择与熏蒸技术的应用提供理论依据。

Factors affecting sample extraction in the liquid chromatographic determination of organic acids in papaya and pineapple

A solvent extraction method was developed for the extraction of organic acids (oxalic, citric, tartaric, L-malic, quinic, succinic and fumaric acids) in papaya and pineapple. Central composite design “2ⁿ + star” was used in order to optimise the following extraction parameters: number of extractions, composition of the extractant mixture, extraction time and extraction temperature. Optimal conditions for extraction were determined by experimental design using response surface methodology. The results suggest that the extractant composition is statistically the most significant factor and that the optimum values for the variables are: three (number de extractions), water as extractant, 60 min (extraction time) and 65 °C (extraction temperature). The separation and determination of the organic acids was carried out by liquid chromatography with UV–Vis detection.     

The use of packaging techniques to maintain freshness in fresh-cut fruits and vegetables: a review

Browning and other discolourations, softening, surface dehydration, water loss, translucency, off-flavour and off-odour development, as well as microbial spoilage are some of the most frequent causes of quality loss in fresh-cut products. Nowadays, the use of innovative modified atmospheres and edible coatings stands out among other techniques in the struggle for maintaining freshness and safety of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. A few studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of these techniques when applied to different fresh-cut commodities. However, treatment and storage conditions for fresh-cut fruits are still being largely explored to better keep their fresh-like quality attributes. This review discusses the recent advances in the use of innovative modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) systems to maintain freshness of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, special attention is devoted to the development of coatings that can be used as a complement or alternative to MAP.     

Addition of cashew tree gum to maltodextrin-based carriers for spray drying of cashew apple juice

This study involved an attempt to totally or partially replace maltodextrin DE10 (MD10) by cashew tree gum (CTG) as a drying aid agent in spray drying of cashew apple juice. The objective was to evaluate the impact of drying aid/cashew apple juice dry weight ratio (D/C, ranging from 3 to 5) and degree of replacement of MD10 with CTG (CTG_R, ranging from 0% to 100%) on ascorbic acid retention (AAR), hygroscopicity, flowability and water solubility of spray dried cashew apple juice powder. AAR was increased from 72.90% to 95.46% by increasing D/C from 3 to 5. CTG was shown as a promising maltodextrin replacer, being more effective than the latter to decrease powder hygroscopicity. The most adequate drying conditions (D/C = 5, CTG_R≥50%) resulted in more than 90% of AAR, and produced a powder with good flowing properties and water solubility.     

The Application of Heat Pump in Drying of Biomaterials

The UN estimates that 6.4 billion people will be living on Earth by the year 2000. As a consequence, dried biomaterials demand will rise and equipments will have to be built or redesigned to accomadate changes. The design and innovations on industrial dryers require fundamental knowledge conceived in laboratory units. The new heat pump dryer operates at a wide relative humidity and the air temperature is adjustable from -20 to 100'C. Above and belw freezing point drying modes are done in the same plant which allows the control of biomaterial properties. The technique consists of two stages, unbound weakly held water removal by freeze drying. and tightly bound moisture desorption by medium temperature drying. The fluidized and shelf heat pump dryers have the required features to dry heat sensitive biomaterials. The dryers were built and extensive research on biomaterials has been conducted at The Norwegian Institute of Technology. Many emeriments were done on effect of heat pump drying conditions on-enrime and biological active bacteria solutions, fruits, cod fish, fish feed and shrimps. At optimum heat drying conditions, the bacteria Rhodococcus reached 100% viability and dried biomolecules attained full biolosical activity. The heat pump dryer allowed adjustment of the bio-mterial properties and quality according to its phase, shape and size. Dried samples showed improvements on survival rate. rehydration, colour, hardness and mono-multimolecular sorption isotherms over poorly dried products. Beneficial results were achieved for nearly all tests. This indicates that the heat pump dryer application has high potential in processing heat sensitive biomaterials.     

Studies on Dehydration of Sapota (Achras zapota)

Sapota (Achras zapota) is a tropical fruit found in several parts of India. It is one of the most popular fruits besides mango, custard apple, and several others. Once ripe, it needs to be consumed within a couple of days due to the highly perishable nature of this exquisite fruit variety. The best way to increase the shelf-life is through the process of dehydration of peeled sapota. In the present study, the convective air drying of sapota pulp was carried out and compared with low-temperature drying techniques such as heat pump-assisted drying and freeze drying. The sapota paste was dried in a convective dryer to study the effect of operating parameters such as air temperature and air velocity. In addition, the effect of additives such as oat and wheat fibers and the paste thickness on drying was also studied. The critical analysis of dehydrated sapota was carried out in terms of water activity, sugar content, color, and rehydration ratio. The drying data were analyzed using Page's model and Newton's model on the basis of root mean square error (RMSE), reduced χ square (χ²) and correlation coefficient (R²).

果蔬加工中果胶甲基酯酶活性抑制的研究进展

果胶甲基酯酶（pectin methylesterase,PME）是一种广泛存在于高等植物、真菌和细菌的果胶降解酶,其残余活性会导致果蔬汁和鲜切果蔬等产品产生分层沉淀、析水结块、质构软化等品质劣变。因此,在果蔬加工过程中实现对PME活性的有效抑制是加工的重要目的。目前生产中对于PME活性的抑制主要以热加工方式为主,但这会对热敏性果蔬产品品质造成不可逆转的不良影响。随着人们生活水平和健康意识的提高,为了满足人们对更高品质产品的追求,一些新型热加工和非热加工技术以及PME抑制剂逐渐被研究并应用于PME活性的抑制。本文综述当前热、非热加工方式和抑制剂对于PME的抑制效果及其机理,并列举不同加工方式联合处理或加工手段与抑制剂联合处理在PME抑制方面的应用情况,以期为未来更高品质果蔬产品的加工提供理论指导。     

月季果中黄酮的提取及其对自由基清除作用的研究

以乙醇为溶剂,优化了月季果黄酮的提取工艺,考察了月季果黄酮对自由基的清除作用。结果表明:在固液比为1∶80(W∶V)时,最佳提取工艺条件为:乙醇浓度65%、乙醇pH4.0、颗粒粒度120目、浸提温度60℃,此条件下提取率为9.08%。月季果黄酮对羟自由基(·OH)、超氧阴离子自由基(O-2·)、DPPH自由基具有较强的清除作用,并随浓度的增加而增强,但对羟自由基(·OH)和超氧阴离子自由基(O-2·)的清除作用不如同浓度VC的效果;对DPPH自由基的清除作用在浓度小于0.0040mg/mL时,清除率明显高于VC,高于0.0040mg/mL时,略小于VC。
