A dynamic method for kinetic model of ascorbic acid degradation during air dehydration of pretreated pineapple slices
نویسنده
چکیده
A dynamic method was developed for kinetic model parameter estimation of ascorbic acid degradation during air-dehydration of pretreated (sucrose and sulphiting pretreatments) pineapple slices. Pineapple slices were pretreated in sucrose solution of 40% and 60% and SO2 solution of 1500ppm and 2500ppm SO2 respectively before air-dried in a cabinet dried for 10h at 700C temperature. Ascorbic acid concentration was monitored as a function of moisture lost during dehydration. The model showed that there was a linear degradation of ascorbic acid with moisture loss during drying. The samples pre-treated at 40% and 60% sucrose recorded 2.60 and 2.42mg/100g as rate of ascorbic acid degradation respectively, while the sulphite pretreated slices recorded 1.38 and 0.84mg/100g for 1500ppm and 2500ppm SO2 respectively. The data obtained were used to estimate optimal parameters in a kinetic model describing the rate of degradation of ascorbic acid as a function of moisture content and time.

Effect of High-pressure Processing on Texture and Drying Behavior of Pineapple
The effect of high-pressure processing on texture and drying behavior of pineapple slices was investigated. Pineapple slices were high pressure processed at 50, 100, 300, 500 and 700 MPa at 25C for 10 min. The control, hot water-blanched and high-pressure processed samples were then dehydrated at 70C. Application of high pressure reduced the sample hardness, springiness and chewiness while it h...
متن کاملPineapple juice and its fractions in enzymatic browning inhibition of banana [Musa (AAA group) Gros Michel].
The effectiveness of pineapple juice in enzymatic browning inhibition was evaluated on the cut surface of banana slices. After storage of banana slices at 15 degrees C for 3 days, pineapple juice showed browning inhibition to a similar extent as 8 mM ascorbic acid but less than 4 mM sodium metabisulfite. Fractionation of pineapple juice by a solid-phase C18 cartridge revealed that the directly ...
