Pulsed Vacuum Osmotic Dehydration of Garlic Bulbs Followed by Microwave Drying

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

ABSTRACT: The combination of pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration and microwave drying of garlic bulbs were examined. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to determine the effect of NaCl concentration (8%-20%), osmotic solution temperature (25-65°C), operation pressure (240-830 mbar), immersion time (20-300 min) and microwave power level (100-600 W) on water loss (WL), solids gain (SG), weight reduction (WR), hardness and shrinkage of samples. Analysis of the results showed that by increasing the osmotic solution concentration, temperature and immersion time, WL and WR will increase. The effect on SG was almost the same as WL except the effect of temperature. Increasing temperature resulted in an initial increase in SG for a period of time, followed by a decrease. NaCl concentration, temperature and immersion time showed the significant influence on hardness.   Keywords: Garlic, Microwave Drying, Pulses Vacuum Osmotic Dehydration, Response Surface Methodology.

Optimization of osmotic dehydration of papaya followed by air-drying

Papayas are a fragile fruit; characteristic that limits large-scale exportation from the producing centers to countries in temperate regions. Loss of fruit ranges from 10% to 40% and could be reduced if papayas were dried. The process of osmotic dehydration followed by air-drying was studied and modeled for papaya preservation, so it could be optimized. The developed model has been validated wi...

The Effect of Ultrasound-Assisted Osmotic Dehydration Pretreatment on the Convective Drying of Apple Slices (var.Golab)

Drying is one of the widely used methods of food preservation and it is a sensitive food processing operation due to undesirable changes in the quality of dried product. In this study the effect of osmotic dyhedration and ultrasound pretreatment prior to convective drying on quality properties of apple slices was investigated. Apple slices were pretreated by osmotic dehydration in two concentra...

Osmotic dehydration combined with hot air convective drying of Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) gel

Aloe vera gel is widely used as a functional ingredient in food processing. This gel is very unstable due to its high water activity. Drying process can be used to obtain shelf stable products. Response surface methodology was used to assess the effects of solution concentration (30-60% w/w), solution temperature (30-50°C) and immersion time (4-6h) at atmospheric pressure and constant solution ...
