Microbial inactivation and evaluation of furan formation in high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treated vegetable-based infant food.
2017
Abstract The inactivation of pathogenic and spoilage bacteria as well as the formation of food processing contaminants (e.g. acrylamide, furan, etc.) in infant foods is of utmost importance for industry, consumers as well as regulatory bodies. In this study, the potential of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) for microorganism inactivation including total mesophilic aerobic bacteria (TMA) and total yeasts and molds (TYM) at equivalent processing conditions, as well as its effects on furan formation in vegetable-based infant food was evaluated. The process parameters evaluated were combinations of pressures (200, 300, and 400 MPa), temperatures (25, 35, and 45 °C), and treatment times (5, 10, a…
Effects of ultrasound and high pressure on physicochemical properties and HMF formation in Turkish honey types
2018
Abstract In industrial production, thermal processing of honey at 50 °C commonly induces liquefaction, i.e. it reduces the crystal count and viscosity and delays any subsequent crystallization. Unfortunately, thermal treatment can generate toxic 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), thereby resulting in quality reduction. Considering this, the present work aims at evaluating the influence of (two) processing technologies as alternatives to thermal processing of honey, namely high hydrostatic pressure (HHP; P = 220–330 MPa, T = 50/60 °C, t = 23/106 min), and ultrasound processing (US; at 24 kHz). The quality parameters evaluated for honey included liquefaction time, HMF content, diastase number, co…
Emerging macroscopic pretreatment
2021
Macroscopic pretreatment of food waste aims at the preparation of the food matrix for subsequent processing and recovery steps. The preparatory steps involve the adjustment of the phase content and properties (water, solid, fats content), the moderation of enzyme activity as well as prevention and control of any microbial growth (Galanakis, 2012; Galanakis et al., 2010a). In recent times, several emerging technologies have been researched, developed, and/or adapted from other fields for drying, sterilization, enzyme inactivation, and enhancing mass transfer in food and biomaterials. This chapter focuses on these upcoming technologies with potential applications to food waste recovery and in…
Thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and electrochemistry of external field-assisted nonthermal food technologies
2017
Interest in the development and adoption of nonthermal technologies is burgeoning within the food and bioprocess industry, the associated research community, and among the consumers. This is evident from not only the success of some innovative nonthermal technologies at industrial scale, but also from the increasing number of publications dealing with these topics, a growing demand for foods processed by nonthermal technologies and use of natural ingredients. A notable feature of the nonthermal technologies such as cold plasma, electrohydrodynamic processing, pulsed electric fields, and ultrasound is the involvement of external fields, either electric or sound. Therefore, it merits to study…
A critical analysis of the cold plasma induced lipid oxidation in foods
2018
Abstract Background Cold plasma is an emerging, economical and environment-friendly technology with potential applications in food and bioprocessing industry, including microbial decontamination, enzyme inactivation, shelf-life extension, and physicochemical modification. These advantages stem from the cocktail of reactive species and the physical processes that are associated with gaseous electrical discharges. However, when oxygen is present as a component of the gas in which plasma discharges are made, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) could result in decreased food quality. The lipids oxidation induced by an oxygen-containing cold plasma process can eventually affect the acceptability a…
Landmarks in the historical development of twenty first century food processing technologies.
2017
International audience; Over a course of centuries, various food processing technologies have been explored and implemented to provide safe, fresher-tasting and nutritive food products. Among these technologies, application of emerging food processes (e.g., cold plasma, pressurized fluids, pulsed electric fields, ohmic heating, radiofrequency electric fields, ultrasonics and megasonics, high hydrostatic pressure, high pressure homogenization, hyperbaric storage, and negative pressure cavitation extraction) have attracted much attention in the past decades. This is because, compared to their conventional counterparts, novel food processes allow a significant reduction in the overall processi…
