Production and Quality Evaluation of Compressed Freeze-Dehydrated Sour Cherries and Their Pies

Srisangnam, Chareonsri 01 May 1974 (has links)
High quality, mature sour cherries (Prunus cerasus L., cultivar Montmorency)were freeze-dehydrated, conditioned with one thousand part per million of sulfur dioxide solution spray followed by dry heat at 200 F for 1 minute and compressed with a pressure of 400 pounds per square inch. The samples were vacuum sealed in cans and stored at 100 F and 70 F for 6 months. The samples were analyzed every 2 months for compression characteristics, changes of color, acidity, anthocyanins, and ascorbic acid. Organoleptic evaluations were made for flavor, texture, and appearance of the rehydrated products prepared as pies. The results indicated that freeze-dehydrated sour cherries stored at 70 F maintained higher quality and had a slower rate of change than those samples stored at 100 F. The sulfited sample had a higher quality rating than the control sample.

Influence of Pre-Fermentation Inoculations With Leuconostoc Mesenteroides and Lactobacillus Plantarum on Physico-Chemical Properties of Fresh and Dehydrated Sauerkraut

Nabors, William T. 01 May 1968 (has links)
The effect Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus plantarum has on the physical and chemical properties of fresh and dehydrated sauerkraut was tested. Sauerkraut inoculated with L . plantarum was slower in fermenting and significantly lower in acidity and higher in pH. Dehydration of sauerkraut by freeze-conventional hot-air and micro-wave processes produced a significant loss in volatile components, ascorbic acid , lactic acid and an increase in pH. Each of the dehydration processes caused browning of the sauerkraut . These changes were less with freeze-drying and increased with conventional hot-air drying and microwave drying. Gas-liquid chromatography confirms the loss of volatile components and the production of a new peak, occurring at 9 to 10 minutes , in the conventional hot-air dried and microwave dried. Sensory evaluation scores of freeze-dried and conventional hot-air dehydrated sauerkraut compared favorably with that of a canned commercial product.

O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi quantificar as vitaminas antioxidantes (tocoferóis, ácido ascórbico, α- e β-caroteno) bem como a composição química de amostras de pólen apícola obtidas em apiários georreferenciados da região sul do Brasil e desidratadas de forma controlada conforme recomendação da legislação brasileira. Inicialmente foi realizada a composição química de 21 amostras de pólen apícola desidratados sendo os valores médios de 3,37% para umidade, 19,80% para proteínas, 3,44% para lipídios, 2,02% para cinzas. Pode-se verificar que a maioria das amostras encontraram-se dentro dos parâmetros de qualidade preconizados pela legislação brasileira. Além disso, utilizando a cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE), foi confirmando a presença de açúcares redutores glicose (6,77%) e frutose (5,39%) nas amostras. A determinação da vitamina C foi realizada por titulometria e os valores encontrados variaram entre 60 e 797 µg/g, sendo duas amostras consideradas fonte desta vitamina para homens e três para mulheres conforme a Ingestão Dietética de Referência (IDR). Já os tocoferóis e o α- e β-caroteno foram analisados por CLAE. Com relação aos tocoferóis (α-, β-, γ-, δ-tocoferol), os valores foram apresentados como equivalentes de alfa-tocoferol e variaram entre 0,57 e 11,7 mg/100g, podendo duas amostras serem consideradas fontes de vitamina E. Da mesma forma, duas amostras foram consideradas fontes de vitamina A, levando-se em consideração os valores encontrados para α- e β-caroteno, que variaram entre 3,9 e 4945 µg de equivalentes de retinol por 100g de amostra. A caracterização das amostras com relação a origem botânica mostrou uma grande variedade entre os tipos polínicos encontrados nas diferentes amostras. Chama-se atenção para o gênero Eucalyptus que esteve presente em 16 amostras, sendo em duas delas como pólen dominante (>45% do total de grãos), bem como duas amostras que puderam ser considerados monoflorais (>90% do total de grãos). Os resultados estatísticos (correlação) mostraram que alguns tipos polínicos se correlacionam de maneira positiva e forte com a composição nutricional do pólen apícola, como os gêneros Brassicacom os teores de lipídios e proteínas, Euterpe com o α-tocoferol, α- e β-caroteno, Piptocarpha com os tocoferóis (β-, γ- e δ-), Senecio com α- e β-caroteno. O presente trabalho contribui de forma importante para a caracterização química e botânica do pólen apícola produzido em apiários georreferenciados da região sul do Brasil, valorizando assim o produto e trazendo informações e benefícios para apicultores e consumidores além de fornecer dados relevantes para o estudo e padronizações metodológicas nacional e internacionais para este produto. / The aim of this study was to quantify the antioxidant vitamins (tocopherols, ascorbic acid, α- and β-carotene ) as well as the chemical composition of samples of bee pollen obtained from georeferenced apiaries of southern Brazil and dehydrated in a controlled manner as recommended by brazilian regulation. Initially the chemical composition of 21 samples of dehydrated bee pollen was performed and the average values is 3.37 % for moisture, 19.80 % for proteins, 3.44 % for lipids, 2.02 % for ash. It can be seen that most of the samples were within the quality parameters recommended by brazilian regulation. Furthermore, using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was confirmed the presence of reducing sugars glucose (6.77%) and fructose (5.39%) in the samples. The determination of vitamin C was performed by titration and the values varied from 60 to 797 µg/g, and two samples can be considered source of this vitamin for men and three for women according to the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI). The tocopherols and α- and β-carotene were analyzed by HPLC. With respect to tocopherols (α-, β-, γ-, δ-tocopherol ), the values were expressed as equivalents of alpha-tocopherol and ranged between 0.57 and 11.7 mg/100g, so two samples can be considered sources of vitamin E. Similarly, two samples were considered sources of vitamin A, taking into consideration the values for α and β-carotene, ranging from 3.9 to 4945 µg of retinol equivalents per 100g of sample. The characterization of the samples with respect to botanical origin showed a variety of pollen types found in different samples. Attention is drawn to the genus Eucalyptuswhich was present in 16 samples, and in two of them as the predominant pollen (> 45 % of total grains counted) and two samples that could be considered monofloral (> 90 % of total grains counted). The statistical results (correlation) showed that some pollen types correlate positively and strongly with the nutritional composition of pollen as Brassica genera with the levels of lipids and proteins, Euterpe with α-tocopherol, α- and β-carotene, Piptocarpha with tocopherols (β- , γ- and δ-), Senecio with α- and β-carotene. This study contributes significantly to the chemical and botanical characterization and the georeferenced bee pollen produced in apiaries of southern Brazil, thus enhancing the product and bringing information and benefits to beekeepers and consumers and provide relevant data for the study and methodological standardization national and international for this product.

Influence of Storage Duration, Temperature, and Oxygen on Quality of Stored Dehydrated Foods

Darag, Omima Ali 01 May 2003 (has links)
This study was undertaken to determine the effect of oxygen absorber packets (OAP) (AGELESS Z.300 E) in improving the shelf-life of selected dried food products, including dried potato pearls, dried sliced apple, dried carrot, white rice, nonfat dry milk, all purpose flour, rolled oats, and wheat. Items were stored at four different temperatures (-20, 10, 21, and 29.5°C) over a period of 24 months with observations at 6-month intervals. Hunter colorimeter, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) germination rate, gluten weight, and volume were parameters used as quality indicators of various dried foods. Statistical analysis indicated a significant time and temperature effect for almost all the stored products. Storage at a high temperature (29.5°C) renders OAP ineffective in reducing browning during storage. Potato pearls, dried sliced apple, and dried carrot exhibit darkening by the first 6 months of storage at 29.5°C regardless of oxygen status of the container. White rice showed yellowing under the same conditions. Most of the dried food products that were stored at 10 and 21°C with or without oxygen absorber packets maintained their color as indicted by a relatively constant lightness reading (L*) over time. TBARS values rose in all stored food with increasing storage time, especially when the dried products were stored at higher temperature (29.5°C). Statistical analysis indicated a significant OAP effect in reducing TBARS concentration over time. Germination of wheat kernel was reduced to less than 80% after 24 months of storage at 29.5°C. However, when stored with oxygen absorber packets, germination was still 86%. Storage length and temperature are the primary factors that determine the quality of home-stored dried food items.

Plan de negocio para la venta de aguaymanto deshidratado, como alimento saludable (“superfood”), para deportistas en California, Estados Unidos / Business plan for the sale of dehydrated aguaymanto as a healthy food (“superfood”) for athletes in California, United States

Cerrón Balcázar, María, Escalante Salas, Neil, Chilet Najera, Fernando, Sachún Sarmiento, William 03 November 2021 (has links)
El aguaymanto es un fruto andino con muchas propiedades beneficiosas para la salud al punto de ser considerado un superalimento, lo que lo convierte en un alimento exótico y de alto valor nutritivo. El proceso de deshidratado, mediante el cual se retira el agua del fruto, asegura conservar todas las propiedades de éste, alargando su tiempo de vida. Con la tendencia mundial por consumir alimentos saludables, Estados Unidos (específicamente California) se presenta como el mercado más atractivo por el alto porcentaje de personas deportistas que valoran este tipo de alimentos. El aguaymanto ya es comercializado en Estados Unidos en diferentes presentaciones, incluso deshidratado. Sin embargo, nuestro proyecto busca establecer las ventajas competitivas siguientes: Mercado objetivo compuesto por deportistas y personas que se ejercitan. Empaque conveniente para el transporte. Alianzas comerciales con Tiendas especializadas y distribuidoras de alimentos saludables. Alta calidad del producto. La tercerización de los procesos productivos y de distribución evitan un alto costo inicial por el Know how y permiten que el proyecto inicie con una empresa conformada por pocas personas enfocadas en procesos de marketing, supervisión y gestión. Cada una de las aristas del proyecto serán plasmadas en el análisis financiero, en donde concluimos que para poner la empresa en marcha se requiere una inversión inicial importante, la cual será cubierta por capital propio y deuda. Además, mediante la herramienta del flujo de caja, conoceremos la creación de valor económico del proyecto y el periodo de recuperación de la inversión. / The aguaymanto is an Andean fruit with many beneficial properties for health, in addition to being considered a superfood, which makes it an exotic food with high nutritional value. The dehydration process, by which the water is removed from the fruit, ensures that all its properties are preserved, extending its life span. With the global trend to consume healthy foods, the United States (specifically California) is presented as the most attractive market due to the high percentage of athletes who value this type of food. The aguaymanto is already marketed in the United States in different presentations, even dehydrated. However, our project seeks to establish the following competitive advantages: Target market made up of athletes and people who exercise. Convenient packaging for transport. Commercial alliances with specialized stores and healthy food distributors. High quality of the product. The outsourcing of production and distribution processes avoid a high initial cost for the Know-how and allow the project to start with a company with few people focused on marketing, supervision and management processes. Each of the project's edges will be reflected in the financial analysis, where we conclude that a significant initial investment is required to start the company, which will be covered by equity capital and debt. In addition, through the cash flow tool, we will know the creation of the economic value of the project and the payback period of the investment. / Trabajo de investigación
