Determination of the Moisture and Oil Thermal Diffusivity Coefficients in Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) During Vacuum Frying

Thin layer drying curves for shredded breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis)

A chart relating temperature and velocity to the drying time of single layered shredded breadfruit, Artocarpus altilis, is presented. Breadfruit, which can be dried and ground into gluten-free flour, was placed on screens in a controlled drying chamber. A design of experiment based on the independent variables of temperature (21, 40, 55°C), absolute humidity (0.01, 0.01125, 0.0125 kg/kg dry air...

Amino acid, fatty acid, and carbohydrate content of Artocarpus altilis (breadfruit).

A study is conducted to determine the amino acid, fatty acid, and carbohydrate content of breadfruit using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC). An HPLC method is used for the determination of amino acids and fatty acids in breadfruit. Representative amino acid samples are derivatized with phenylisothiocianate and the resulting phenylthiocarbamyl derivatives...

Chemical Constituents of Artocarpus altilis and Artocarpus odoratissimus

Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of the leaves of Artocarpus altilis yielded βsitosterol (1), unsaturated triglycerides (2), squalene (3), polyprenol (4), lutein (5) and unsaturated fatty acids. The structures of 1-5 were identified by comparison of their 1 H and/or 13 C NMR data with those reported in the literature. Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of...

Effect of Maturity and Drying Methods on Rheological and Physico-Chemical Properties of Reconstituted Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) Flour

Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is a traditional staple crop grown for its starchy fruit throughout Oceania. This study therefore investigated the effect of maturity and different drying methods on some rheological and physicochemical properties of reconstituted breadfruit flour (Artocarpus altilis) (amala). Freshly harvested breadfruits (mature and immature) were washed in clean water to remov...
