This study investigated the effects of different vacuum-steam pulsed blanching (VSPB) and storage conditions on the quality attributes of dried carrots. The fingerprints of volatile profiles of carrots stored in different conditions were analyzed using principal component analysis and similarity analysis. VSPB treatment resulted in reductions in β-carotene, total phenolics, and antioxidant capacity. The degradation kinetics of chemical components were accurately described using the Weibull model. Fingerprint analysis allowed for the identification and evaluation of differences in volatile compounds of dried carrots subjected to VSPB and storage. These findings highlight the importance of proper blanching conditions for obtaining high-quality dried carrots with improved storage stability.
The effect of different vacuum-steam pulsed blanching (VSPB) and storage conditions on the changes in quality attributes of dried carrots were investigated. The fingerprints of volatile profiles of carrots stored in the presence of oxygen and the absence of light were constructed. The principal component analysis and similarity analysis were used to analyze the differences between samples. Drying of carrots subjected to VSPB resulted in 59.9-69.7, 31.89-39.10, 25.67-48.62 (DPPH), and 36.40-44.33% (FRAP) reduction in & beta;-carotene, total phenolics, and antioxidant capacity, respectively. The values of parameter a*, parameter b*, & beta;-carotene, total phenolics, and antioxidant capacity decreased after storage. The Weibull model accurately described the degradation kinetics of chemical components. Fingerprint allowed to identify and evaluate the differences in the types and contents of volatile compounds of dried carrots subjected to VSPB and storage. The findings of this study indicate that proper blanching conditions allow for obtaining high-quality dried carrots and improve their storage stability.
