A large amount of mushroom waste is generated during production (accounting for up to 20% total production) and mainly composed mushrooms that do not meet the specifications set by retailers because misshapen caps and/or stalks. Mushrooms are notable their ergosterol (a precursor vitamin D2) content which converted D2 after exposure natural or artificial ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Therefore, could be used as a source recovery both valorized pharmaceutical food industries. The current...
The aim of the study was to evaluate effect pulsed electric field (PEF) pretreatment on drying kinetics and color textural changes in sliced parsnip carrot. Cell disintegration index measured parsnips after PEF significantly differed from ones for carrots and, consequently, reduction time needed dry both samples a final moisture content up 5% (wet basis). pretreated reduced by 28% at 70 °C 21% 60 carrot, comparison untreated samples. influenced effective diffusivity water into going 50 °C:...
Emerging extraction techniques, including pulsed electric field (PEF) and ultrasound (US), are attracting considerable interest in the recovery of bioactives. Though, limited work has focused on PEF application as pre-treatment for US assisted to enhance release phenolics from herbs. Hence, present study investigated use an optimized fresh rosemary thyme by-products a subsequent step. Total phenolic content (TPC), 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity ferric...
