Concept of waste to wealth is a hot topic with research ongoing globally reduce carbon footprint. In an effort follow up this cause present study focused on tomato industry specifically the peel tomatoes for extraction pectin. Pectin was performed using five different techniques (Ultrasound assisted (UAE); microwave (MAE); ohmic heating (OHAE); ultrasound (UAME) and (UAOHE) at power levels its degradation kinetics in turn optimize process. The extracted pectin yield ranged from 9.30% OHAE...
Bitter melon seeds (BMS) are a one such by-product discarded from gourd processing industries. In this study our aim was extraction of protein defatted meal using pulsed ultrasound assisted (PUSAE). Effect power level (300, 375 and 450W) time (2.50, 5.00, 7.50, 10.00, 12.50, 15.00, 17.50 20.0 min) on yield quality characteristics were evaluated. Peleg's model used to describe the kinetics process. The highest 23.79% at 300W, 31.05% 375W 28.93% 450W obtained. At higher levels, slightly...
This study aimed to examine the impact of ultrasound on white finger millet-based probiotic beverages (WFMPB). The process variables such as amplitude and treatment time for were obtained using response surface methodology. Ultrasound (US) treatments applied before after inoculation trigger culture growth. US-treated WFMPB evaluated total phenolic content, flavonoid antioxidant activity, reducing sugars, viable cell count, particle size, sugar analysis, volatile organic compounds...
Present work evaluated the extraction yield and quality of protein from defatted sesame meal (DSM) using ultrasound-assisted (UAE), low-temperature microwave-assisted (MAE), moderate electric field-assisted (MEFAE). It was observed that application emerging technologies as pre-treatments significantly increased 26.4% (without pre-treatments) to 38.9% (with UAE 450 W–20 min), 36.05% for MAE 500 min) 32.75% MEFAE 100 V–30 improved functional properties Sesame isolate (SPI). FTIR revealed Amide...
Protein-carbohydrate interactions occur naturally in glycoproteins which are highly stable nature and involved various food complexes can enhance the quality functional properties of foods. In current study, we characterized protein-carbohydrate complex formed between commercial soy protein isolate rice starch using different treatments namely heat treatment alone, ultrasound combination mixing alone. The structural data obtained circular dichroism indicated that during formation, α-helix...
Abstract Copper (Cu(II)) gets ionised easily, leaches into food, and becomes environmentally toxic. Hence, Cu(II) tolerant bacterial strains with high biosorption potential were screened from fruit, dairy flour mill waste by in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods. Based on tolerance capabilities (>250 mM ions), two strains, Klebsiella pneumonia (V1) Cronobacter sakazakii (V2), identified through genetic characterisation. The mechanism (V1, V2, V1 + V2) was further evaluated...
