Evolving advanced pretreatment techniques such as application of ultrasound prior to fruit drying have attracted significant research and development efforts due the rising demand for high-quality dried fruits at reduced operating costs. Drying processes can be destructive quality long times high temperatures in some cases. The effects on aspects kinetics are reviewed. Ultrasound is known its varying different fruits; however, it has been proved greatly increase rates hence reduce overall...
Three dietary fiber (DF) powders; soluble (SDF), insoluble (IDF) and total (TDF) were prepared from cocoa bean shells (CBS) by enzymatic treatment. These DFs evaluated for their effects on glucose adsorption, diffusion, starch hydrolysis, cholesterol binding, sodium cholate binding oil capacities using in vitro model systems simulating gastric intestinal conditions. The results showed that SDF generally exhibited significantly (p < 0.05) higher adsorption capacity (GAC), α-amylase inhibition...
This study evaluated the total Phenolic Compound Content (PC) and biological activity of Cocoa Bean Shell (CBS). Proximate compositions dry matter (CBS) were investigated, while antimicrobial was CBS phenolic extracts in 80% acetone, ethanol, methanol water performed by paper disk diffusion micro broth dilution methods against 4 bacterial strains. The results showed that consisted mainly dietary fiber (60%), followed protein (16.93%), fat (6.87%), polyphenols (4.85%) moisture (3.73%)....
Moringa oleifera leaf samples from China and Rwanda were used for volatile profile analysis. Volatile compounds analyzed using the Headspace-Solid Phase Microextraction (HS-SPME)-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 93 volatiles consisting aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, hydrocarbons, esters, terpenoids acids identified. While a 61 contained in sample with acetic acid (12.54% volatiles) as most abundant compound, Rwandan 59 having hexanoic (19.81% one. Chinese showed higher...
This study evaluated the <italic>in vitro</italic> inhibitory influence of particle size nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) fractions against α-amylase and α-glucosidase using cooked potato starch–protein food model system.
The mechanisms of granular octenyl succinate anhydride (GOSA) and dissolved OSA (DOSA) starches in emulsion stabilization were investigated. In general, DOSA starch offered better emulsification activity by generating greater ζ-potential, lower particle size as well long-term stability comparison to GOSA close degree substitution (DS). A compact interface was determined, resulting from an increased surface loading value 2.37 mg/m2 that 1.6 mg/m2. Additionally, the irreversibly adsorbed...
Abstract Effects of ultrasound, high pressure argon, and treatments comprising their combinations on physicochemical microbiological characteristics white mushrooms were studied during 9 days storage at 4°C. High argon relatively effective in retaining firmness found to maintain the cell integrity. White after was increased from 2.79 N for untreated up 3.01, 3.24, 3.58 ultrasound respectively. Similarly, loss water, ascorbic acid total soluble solid fresh mushroom also greatly reduced by...
