Improving the Quality of Freeze Dried Rice: Initial Evaluations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The focus of the work reported here is to evaluate a selection of readily available rices to determine cooking, freeze drying and rehydration characteristics, with the aim of improving the quality of freeze dried rice used in Australian military ration packs. Samples were examined by sensory evaluation, texture profile analysis and environmental scanning electron microscopy. The findings of this study will provide guidance for an expanded series of production scale improvements and evaluations.

Berry and Froscher: Foam-mat and Freeze Dried
Cold pressed peel oil was added to high quality 50°Brix commercial orange concentrate and foam-mat dried, or diluted to single strength juice and freeze-dried using different platen temperatures. Amounts of peel oil ranged from 0.026% to 0.106% for samples to be foam-mat dried, and from 0.011% to 0.109% for freeze drying. For foam-mat drying, previously de veloped standard commercial conditions...
