Grape juice is popular for its taste and nutritional value, but due to high commercial it sometimes adulterated with apple juice, which contains naturally occurring sorbitol. This study used Fourier Transform Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-NIR) alongside Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) detect sorbitol in grape aiming identify adulteration. Two key NIR spectral bands, 12400–7400 cm−1 6400–5500 cm−1, were strongly correlated concentration samples. The combination of FT-NIR ANN provided...
Isomaltulose, known as Palatinose, is a low-glycemic carbohydrate commonly used in prolonged sports activities. In the present work, isomaltulose was incorporated mango slices by standard osmotic dehydration (OD) and pulsed vacuum OD (PVOD) at 45°C. Vacuum applied during first 10 min of PVOD. Both fresh osmotically treated samples were convectively dried (60°C, 1.5 m/s). The osmodehydrated products evaluated concerning hygroscopic behavior, color parameters, volumetric shrinkage, ascorbic...
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and avocado (AVO) are recognized for their unique sensory characteristics bioactive compounds. Declared blends with other vegetable oils legal, but undeclared mixing is a common type of fraud that can affect product quality commercialization. In this sense, study explored strategies to mitigate the influence lighting in order make digital image colorimetry (DIC) using smartphone more robust reliable predicting soybean content EVOO AVO blends. Calibration models...
Abstract In the fruit processing industry, a large volume of residue is generated, which usually discarded. However, residues may have appeal as functional ingredients due to presence bioactive compound. this study, drying acerola in medium‐sized conventional spouted bed was investigated. The characterized; vitamin C and 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) were determined evaluate effect on compounds. To overcome difficulty material fluidization, mixture composed natura previously dried an...
