Recent advances in the ultrasound-assisted osmotic dehydration of agricultural products: A review

Fakhreddin Salehi

Summary: Osmotic dehydration combined with ultrasound-assisted techniques can improve the dehydration process efficiencies and enhance product quality. The UAOD treatment increases weight reduction, moisture loss, and soluble solids gain, and has positive effects on antioxidant activity, total carotenoid content, porosity, rehydration capacity, and color of dried fruits and vegetables slices. Hyperspectral imaging technique can be used to estimate various properties of products during the UAOD process.

Rehydration modeling and characterization of dehydrated sweet corn

Pratik Nayi et al.

Summary: The increasing demand for rehydrated foods is fueled by their ability to be stored at ambient conditions and not require refrigeration. Prior to drying, various pretreatments were tested at different temperatures to determine their impact on the rehydration of sweet corn kernels. The results showed that microwave blanching and dehydration at 70 degrees Celsius yielded the best retention of sugar, ascorbic acid, diameter, and color.

Impact of gamma irradiation and guava leaf extract on the quality and storage stability of chicken patties

Anam Sadiq et al.

Summary: The current investigation aimed to assess the effects of gamma irradiation and guava leaf extract (GLE) on chicken meat patties. The study examined the physicochemical properties, stability (oxidative and microbial), and antioxidant status of the patties under different packaging (aerobic and vacuum) and storage intervals (0, 5, and 10 days). The results showed that TBARS and POV significantly increased with 2 kGy irradiation and prolonged storage time, while microbial load decreased with gamma irradiation, both with and without GLE. The antioxidant profile remained stable compared to the control, and there were slight changes in sensory parameters. Overall, gamma irradiation eliminated microbes and GLE improved the stability and antioxidant profile of chicken meat patties.

Effects of edible coatings and ultrasonic pretreatment on the phenolic content, antioxidant potential, drying rate, and rehydration ratio of sweet cherry

Fakhreddin Salehi et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ultrasound pretreatment and edible coatings on sweet cherries. Edible coatings and ultrasound treatment can increase the total phenols content and antioxidant activity of sweet cherries, prolong drying time, and decrease moisture diffusivity. Guar gum coating had the highest impact on the antioxidant activity of sweet cherries.

Effects of ultrasound time, xanthan gum, and sucrose levels on the osmosis dehydration and appearance characteristics of grapefruit slices: Process optimization using response surface methodology

Fakhreddin Salehi et al.

Summary: In this study, ultrasonic pre-treatment and edible coating treatment were used to optimize osmosis dehydration of grapefruit slices. The process parameters, including sonication pre-treatment time, xanthan-gum-based edible coating, and sucrose concentration, were examined and optimized. The experimental data showed that the weight reduction, moisture loss, sucrose absorption, and shrinkage of the grapefruit slices were affected by the sonication time, sucrose concentration, and xanthan levels.
