Abstract Polyphenols are the most important phytochemicals in our diets and have received great attention due to their broad benefits for human health by suppressing oxidative stress playing a protective role preventing different pathologies such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity. The stability of polyphenols depends on environments processing storage, pH temperature. A wide range technologies has been developed stabilize during processing. This review will provide an...
Papaya is widely grown in Malaysia and normally only the fruits are consumed. Other parts of plant such as leaves, roots, bark, peel, seeds pulp also known to have medicinal properties been used treat various diseases. leaves contain flavonoids, alkaloids phenolic compounds cynogenetic compounds, reported be able dengue fever.Studies were carried out on drying papaya using hot air (60, 70 80 °C), shade freeze drying. Effective diffusivities estimated ranging from 2.09 × 10-12 2.18 m2 s-1...
An even span solar greenhouse dryer was built and applied to dry Java tea (Orthosiphon aristatus) Sabah snake grass (Clinacanthus nutans Lindau). Findings showed that the performs satisfactorily during clear weather except at nighttime rainy day due product rehydration which is heavily influenced by high relative humidity from ambient air. Integrating of heat pump into has successfully reduced room 10–15%. Also, mitigated issue maintaining maximum 65% throughout drying period. The rate...
Due to increasing awareness of food sustainability and security among consumers manufacturers, the valorization products has gained huge interest researchers with aim diversify product range, including those processed from by-products. From United Nations (UN) Environment Programme's Food Waste Index Report 2021, wastage foods reaches 931 million tonnes each year. To align UN Sustainable Development Goals, which halve waste by 2030, reduction, especially fruits vegetables that have a short...
Abstract In this study fermented cocoa beans were dried in a direct solar dryer at three levels of loading (20, 30 and 60 kg). Surface mouldiness was found to be heavy the kg treatment, with appearing blackish. All reasonably acceptable terms vinegary odour weak alcohol odour. Weak also detected for faecal, rancid cheesy odours. The treatment rated strong wet sock due poor drying condition. A significant difference ( P < 0.05) between lower treatments pH titratable acidity. cut test...
This study explored crickets’ potential in addressing food insecurity and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. The research focuses on investigating the drying kinetics of crickets by measuring moisture contents over time while at different hot air temperatures (70 - 90°C). Results showed that temperature had a crucial impact crickets, with distinct curves observed lower higher temperatures. effective diffusivity determined ranged from 1.60×10-9 to 3.59×10-9 m2/s. Page model could...
Significance increase in dengue cases have been recorded worldwide every year and South East Asian countries badly affected. Currently, antiviral drug to treat is still not available but papaya leaves extract (PLE) successfully used treating patients. Carpaine PLE the major active compounds that contributes anti-thrombocytopenic activity (raising platelet count patient's blood). The also contains polyphenols contribute antioxidant properties. Studies were carried out quantify carpaine from...
Various studies have been conducted in the past to improve quality of Malaysian cocoa beans. However, processing methods still remain crude and lack technological advancement. In terms drying, no previous study has attempted apply advanced drying technology bean quality. This paper presents first attempt beans through heat pump using constant air (28.6 40.4 °C) stepwise (step-up 30.7-43.6-56.9 °C step-down 54.9-43.9 profiles. Comparison was made against hot at 55.9 °C.Product assessment...
The current study emphasizes on the effects of four drying methods, namely, oven drying, adsorption freeze-drying, and vacuum total polyphenol content antioxidant activity unfermented cocoa beans. comparison kinetics analysis showed that method dried faster than other methods. On comparing results contents activity, freeze-drying optimal lowest values were recorded by drying. sensory beans after low flavor high astringency scores.
In food processing, drying is an important unit operation for preserving the product quality by moisture content reduction. However, some processes suffer from technical and economical drawbacks mainly related to low process efficiency, high energy cost, degradation. Drying products using dehumidified air at temperature one of smart options solve abovementioned problems. This review presents challenges opportunities dehumidifying enhance driving force drying. The potential solid materials,...
In the present study, heat pump–assisted drying of salak fruit was optimized by dividing dehydration process into three distinct phases, namely, initial, intermittent, and final stages. Drying variables considered for optimization were intermittent duration (X 1), ratio 2), cycle 3); response studied total time (Y heating during after 3), color change 4), ascorbic acid content 5), phenolic 6). Response surface methodology used to determine best combination that could provide shortest period...
Abstract Cocoa beans are widely used in the manufacturing of various food and beverage products such as chocolates, powdered drink, cookies, confectioneries, others. Processing plays a vital role governing final flavor profile cocoa especially during roasting. The current studies aimed to determine transport properties nibs roasting also investigate quality roasted nibs. were at temperatures 120, 130, 140 °C inside hot air convective oven. Kinetics analyses showed that overall rates sensible...
