in order to improve food texture, hydrocolloids are used widely as gelling material in food systems. wild sage seed has remarkable amounts of gum (mucilage) with good functional properties. this mucilage also improves the rheological, textural and functional properties of foods. in this study the effects of different drying methods including hot air drying (40, 50, 60, 70 and 80°c), freeze dryi...

Bone changes its structural and physical properties during maturation. In order to validate ultrasound measurements with regard to their usefulness in assessing cortical bone maturation, speed of sound (SOS) data were compared with mechanical properties (elastic modulus, bending strength, and cortical surface hardness), density and water content. Thirty pig mandibles were selected from three di...

Drying is essential in lowering the water activity and increasing the shelf stability of perishables. Thus, this study investigated the effect of pretreatment on the retention of the antioxidant properties and color of four tomato varieties; that is, Anna F1, Kilele, Prostar F1, and Riogrande during drying. Prepared quarters were treated by spraying with 0.5% sodium metabisulfate, 0.5% calcium ...

The treatment of white and red crushed grapes by high power ultrasounds (US) represents an emerging technology in winemaking. In 2019, it was officially recognized OIV through the resolution n°616-2019, also approved European Union January 2022. US effect on extraction mechanisms widely studied, but more researches are needed to better understand ultrasound some specific classes grape compounds...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of pulsed electric field (PEF), ultrasound (US), and combined pretreatments (PEF-US) on mass transfer, rehydration capacity, microstructure, nutritional quality shiitake mushrooms (Lentinus edodes). The results indicated that could accelerate transfer during hot-air drying process at 65 °C, resulting in lower time energy requirement than control. Mean...

monitoring the effective parameters of drying crops is necessary to evaluate and determine system performance under real conditions. hence, a monitoring system was constructed to determine the performance of a vegetation forced-convection solar dryer. digital temperature sensors were set up in the air inlet and outlet of the collector and the air outlet of the drying chamber. a program was writ...
