Abstract:
ABSTRACT Dehydrated fruits, including dried coconut (Cocos nucifera) and dried apple (Malus sp.) slices, have been the subject of manufacturer recalls due to contamination with Salmonella. A study was conducted to determine the survival of Salmonella on apple slices of six apple cultivars after dehydration and also following treatment with antimicrobial solutions (0.5%, w/w) and dehydration. Samples of six apple cultivars (Envy, Gala, Red Delicious, Fuji, Pink Lady, Granny Smith) were cored and sliced into 0.4-cm rings, halved, inoculated with a five-strain composite of desiccation-resistant Salmonella, and dehydrated at 60°C for 5 h. Subsequently, Gala apple slices were treated in 0.5% solutions of one of eight antimicrobial rinses for 2 min and then dehydrated at 60°C for 5 h. Antimicrobial solutions used were potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, ascorbic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, and sodium bisulfate. Reduction of Salmonella populations varied according to apple cultivar. Salmonella survival on Envy, Gala, Red Delicious, Fuji, Pink Lady, and Granny Smith was 5.92, 5.58, 4.83, 4.68, 4.45, and 3.84 log CFU, respectively. There was significantly greater (P < 0.05) Salmonella inactivation on Granny Smith, Pink Lady, and Fuji apples than on Gala and Envy. Survival of Salmonella on Gala apple slices following dehydration was 5.58 log CFU for the untreated control and 4.76, 3.90, 3.29, 3.13, 2.89, 2.83, 2.64, and 0.0 log CFU for those treated with potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, ascorbic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, and sodium bisulfate, respectively. Pretreatment of apple slices with either fumaric acid or sodium bisulfate before dehydration led to lower Salmonella survival than pretreatment with all other antimicrobial treatments. Lower apple pH was statistically correlated (P < 0.05) with decreasing survival of Salmonella following dehydration. These results may provide methodology applicable to the food industry for increasing the inactivation of Salmonella during the dehydration of apple slices. HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract:
Food loss is a global issue that may be alleviated with effective dehydration strategies. Solar dehydration, rather than traditional sun-drying, is one method that could allow for the safe, efficient preservation of food materials. In this study, passive solar dehydration was achieved using a psychrometric chamber to model the environment of sub-Saharan Africa, where the temperature was the major focus (24.3 °C to 29.4 °C). A mass decrease of 88.56% was achieved within 9 hours. Microbial testing (total aerobic bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and total yeasts and molds) demonstrated no difference (all negative) between food stored at 4 °C and dehydrated food, indicating that the dehydrator introduced no new contamination. A 16.0% decrease in vitamin C (VC) concentration was observed due to the lability of VC. Insight into the visual appeal of the food samples was provided by measuring browning values, where it was found that dehydrated green apples are significantly less brown than the sample exposed to air for the same length of time. Passive solar dehydrators could provide a simple method to reduce food waste and maintain nutritional content and visual appeal.

Abstract:
Previous study has explored dip dehydration as a novel variant of osmotic dehydration to reduce solid gain, which is the main problem of osmotic dehydration. However, this dehydration process commonly uses sucrose solution as osmotic agent which might contribute to the increase in glycaemic index and can also be linked to different diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of using alternative sweeteners as an osmotic agent on mass transfer, colour, and texture profiles during dip dehydration of apple slices. Three alternative sweeteners, i.e., erythritol, sorbitol and xylitol with 30% (w/v) concentration were used in this study. Apple slices with 1.5 mm thickness and diameter of 55 mm were dipped multiple time in the same concentrated solution every 40 minutes until 200 minutes before samples were analysed. Findings showed that different type of sweetener affect water loss and solid gain. Xylitol and sorbitol gave highest water loss about 36% and 40%, respectively. Lowest total colour different with fresh apple has been observed in sample treated with xylitol. As for texture, there is no remarkable effect of using alternative sweetener as osmotic agent at all processing times. Overall, the best alternative sweetener for sucrose is xylitol considering the mass transfer and quality of apple slices.

AbstractThe aim of this work was to investigate the effects of osmotic dehydration conditions on the properties of osmotically pre-treated dried apples. The scope of research included analysing the most important mass exchange coefficients,i.e.water loss, solid gain, reduced water content and water activity, as well as colour changes of the obtained dried product. In the study, apples were osmotically dehydrated in one of two 60% solutions: sucrose or sucrose with an addition of chokeberry juice concentrate, for 30 and 120 min, in temperatures of 40 and 60°C. Ultrasound was also used during the first 30 min of the dehydration process. After osmotic pre-treatment, apples were subjected to innovative convective drying with the puffing effect, and to freeze-drying. Temperature and dehydration time increased the effectiveness of mass exchange during osmotic dehydration. The addition of chokeberry juice concentrate to standard sucrose solution and the use of ultrasound did not change the value of solid gain and reduced water content. Water activity of the dried apple tissue was not significantly changed after osmotic dehydration, while changes in colour were significant.

Abstract:
Survival in liquid nitrogen of dormant vegetative buds from several cold-hardened apple cultivars was greater with buds which were dehydrated prior to cryopreservation than with nondehydrated buds. Buds collected early in the cold-acclimating period suffered injury as a result of dehydration, but the percent survival of the dehydrated buds, after storage in liquid nitrogen, was greater than that of nondehydrated buds. As cold acclimation progressed, buds became more resistant to the dehydration stress and survival in liquid nitrogen increased following dehydration for all cultivars. Survival in liquid nitrogen of nondehydrated buds increased for LN2-hardy but not for LN2-tender cultivars, as cold acclimation progressed. The magnitude of the dehydration-induced increase in survival in liquid nitrogen was cultivar dependent.Key words: Malus domestica, apple, cryopreservation, gene resources, cold hardiness

Abstract:
Combined processes effects of osmotic dehydration in sucrose solutions and freezing on apple cubes preservation were analysed. Two multifactorial experimental designs, in two levels, were conducted consecutively to quantify the effects of the following factors: temperature, osmotic dehydration time, concentration of the osmotic medium and freezing rate. The response variables considered were: sensory evaluation, colour, texture, water activity ( aw) and reducing and total sugars. The first experimental design selected fast freezing as the best process to preserve texture and colour of the fruit. From the second experimental design, under fast freezing, were obtained the following optimal levels: 55 ºBx for the concentration of the osmotic medium, 35 ºC for the syrup temperature and 60 min for the osmotic dehydration time. A test of acceptability was performed under these conditions with 80 potential consumers on a 7-point hedonic scale, which gave 93% acceptance. Glass transition temperature (Tg') of the maximally cryoconcentrated liquid was –41.89 ºC for the product processed under optimum conditions. Significant correlations ( P= 0.05) were found between sensory and instrumental responses.

Abstract:

The fate of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. during osmotic dehydration of apples was determined at different processing temperatures, times and calcium chloride (CaCl2) concentrations. Apple slices were inoculated to achieve an 8 log CFU/ apple slice concentration of a five strain mixture of E. coli O157:H7 or Salmonella spp. and were soaked in sucrose solutions (60% w/w). In the first study, apple slices were subjected to osmotic dehydration at three different temperatures: 20°C, 45°C and 60°C. In a second study, CaCl2 was added in the sucrose solution at concentrations of 2%, 4% and 8% to determine its efficacy as an antimicrobial agent. The storage effect of osmotic dehydrated apples on pathogen survival was also tested for seven days at 4°C.

Samples were withdrawn at appropriate time intervals, diluted with 0.1% peptone water and surface plated onto recovery media. Recovery of E. coli O157:H7 was compared on Tryptic Soy Agar + 50 ppm nalidixic acid (TSAN) and MacConkey Sorbitol agar (MCS). Recovery of Salmonella was compared on TSAN and XLD agar.

There was lower microbial reduction at the lower temperatures tested with approximately 1.0 and 3.0 log CFU/apple slice reduction at 20°C and 45°C, respectively. The population reduction of cells was highest at 60°C, with an approximate five log reduction for both microorganisms (P<0.001). CaCl2 used as an additive in the osmotic solution, was associated with slightly higher reduction of both E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. Greater than a 5 log reduction was observed when the combination of CaCl2 (8%) and 60°C processing temperature was used. During refrigerated storage E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella decreased by approximately 4.5 log CFU/apple slice, but were still recoverable via direct plating at Day seven.

The results of this study show that the survival of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in osmotically dehydrated fruit is influenced by the osmotic processing method used and the level of additive (i.e., CaCl2) utilized. Parameters associated with decreased survival of pathogens, and therefore, improve product safety, include increasing temperature and time of processing and increasing concentration of CaCl2. However, E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in artificially contaminated apple slices, survived osmotic dehydration processing and subsequent storage under processing and storage parameters of this study. Therefore, processors who produce osmotically dehydrated fruit must consider the potential food safety impact of the osmotic dehydration processes they choose.

Abstract:
Microwave assisted osmotic dehydration (MWOD) under continuous medium flow conditions is a new process with good potential for quality optimization. It combines microwave process with osmotic dehydration and improves the mass transfer rate of osmotic dehydration process and product quality. The thesis describes the design and development of this process.
Preliminary studies on osmotic dehydration were carried out in two parts. First, the effects of processing time, temperature and solution concentration on mass transfer under conventional osmotic dehydration process were investigated and suitable ranges of parameters: 40-60°C, 40-60°Brix and 3h, for further osmotic dehydration kinetics study were identified. Then, the osmotic dehydration efficiency under continuous flow condition process was evaluated. For this, a continuous flow osmotic contactor was developed and found to be an efficient process in terms of osmotic dehydration of apple cylinders. Solids diffusivity (Ds) was lower in continuous flow osmotic dehydration process compared with conventional osmotic dehydration correspondents (P<0.05). Being a separate operation unit, the dehydration process and solution management can be done in a more efficient way in this process.
Following the preliminary studies, the osmotic contactor was relocated under a microwave oven so that heating and mass transfer operations could be facilitated by continuous microwave treatment providing a microwave assisted osmotic dehydration (MWOD) process. Compared with conventional osmotic dehydration (COD), moisture loss (ML%), solids gain (SG%) and mass transport coefficients (km and ks) of MWOD were improved, the average k m was increased 80% and the average ks was decreased 20%, respectively. Moreover, product rehydration property and color profile were improved. Microwave heating had an important effect on water transfer during the osmotic dehydration. Application of microwave heating to osmotic dehydration process facilitated in increasing moisture loss from the sample and simultaneously restricted the product's solute gain. Higher moisture loss in mass transfers area helped to control and strongly counters the solids gain.
Modeling of the mass transfer phenomenon is necessary to optimize osmotic dehydration processes to have a high product quality at minimum energy costs. To explain the simultaneous mass-flow in an osmo-dehydration process, evaluation of equilibrium kinetics is important. Pseudo-equilibrium (practical equilibrium) and dynamic period data are necessary for estimating the time of osmotic process, and ultimate mass transport of the solutes and water, and hence these data were gathered.
The effect of osmotic dehydration treatment on sample subsequent air drying behavior and product quality parameters were investigated. Compared with control samples, osmostically treated samples moisture diffusivity during subsequent air drying process was reduced over same moisture content range: from 1.18*10-9m2/s to 0.77*10-9--1.07*10 -9 m2/s. Drying rates of MWOD pretreated samples varied depending on treatment conditions. MWOD pretreatment shifted product's color profile to those that can be achieved under freeze drying conditions.
Sorption isotherms induced by osmotic dehydration were studied, using a gravimetric-static method, and fitted to GAB model. Adsorption isotherms of products were affected by drying method and osmotic dehydration pretreatment conditions. Adsorption isotherms of osmo-air dried apple cylinders followed type II isotherms (Sigma shaped curve). Monolayer (Mm) values of the osmo-air dried products were reduced. Sorption isotherms of osmotically treated-air dried products were shifted from the control isotherms.
Overall, this work has demonstrated potential of microwave heating for improving moisture transfer during osmotic dehydration and microwave osmotic treatment on subsequent air drying and resulting product quality, as well as the importance of equilibrium kinetics study in process modeling.

Abstract: In this work the effect of the osmotic treatments on the subsequent drying of apple Fuji was studied. The integrity of the cells after different times of exposition in various sucrose solution concentrations was analyzed qualitatively, using light microscopy. Even for high concentrations (up to 50%, w/w), part of the cell structure remained intact. The kinetic of the osmotic dehydration of apple slices (4mm) in solutions of 40, 50 and 60% of sucrose, 27°C, was determined. Slices dehydrated for 2 hours were air-dried (50, 60, 70 and 80°C) until moisture content equilibrium. In the Osmotic Dehydration (OD), experimental data of water and sucrose average concentration were adjusted to a mathematical model that take into account the bulk flow in a shrinking tissue and diffusion coefficients with concentration dependence. The model integrates two differentials equations simultaneously, for water and sucrose. Binary effective coefficient for the water and sucrose are lower than the coefficients for pure solutions. The highest values were the ones determined for the 40% osmotic solution. The water coefficients show unusual dependence with the solution concentration. Concentration profiles indicate that for more diluted osmotic solutions, the sucrose reaches deeper layers of the tissue. In the drying, the experimental values of average water concentration were adjusted to a mathematical model, that considers shrinking, initial moisture content profile from OD and diffusion coefficients with dependence concentration. Treated tissues presented lower diffusion effective coefficients when compared to fresh tissue. In addition, the concentration dependence of the coefficients was inverse to fresh sample. A final analyses of the effect of the osmotic pre-treatment on the drying kinetics and on the quality of final products leads to the following conclusion: the greater the sucrose intake, the lower the drying efficiency and the higher the product porosity.

Abstract:
La disidratazione osmotica è una tecnica che permette la riduzione del contenuto d’acqua di un alimento mediante l’immersione dello stesso in una soluzione ad alta pressione osmotica. La differenza in pressione osmotica genera due flussi opposti tra l’alimento e la soluzione osmotica portando a perdita di acqua e contemporaneo arricchimento dell’alimento immerso. Inoltre, utilizzando soluzioni osmotiche con succhi concentrati a base di frutta è possibile migliorare le caratteristiche organolettiche e la composizione del prodotto finale. Infatti, oggigiorno i trend mostrano sempre di più un interesse dei consumatori nei confronti di alimenti funzionali o arricchiti. Tra i composti più noti per la loro attività antiossidante, i polifenoli sono un gruppo eterogeneo di composti che si possono trovare naturalmente in svariati frutti e che mostrano un’elevata capacità antiossidante nei confronti di specie reattive (ROS, RNS). Frutti come il mirtillo (Vaccinium myrtillus) e l’aronia (Aronia melanocarpa) sono particolarmente ricchi in polifenoli, in particolare in antocianine. L’applicazione di un trattamento di disidratazione osmotica precedente all'essiccamento ha dimostrato essere un’ottima tecnica per ottenere un prodotto finale disidratato ed arricchito. Mediante la disidratazione osmotica è possibile ottenere un a importante riduzione del contenuto iniziale d'acqua dell’alimento, riducendo anche i successivi tempi e costi di essiccamento. Lo zucchero presente nelle soluzioni osmotiche protegge l’alimento da modificazioni ,come l’imbrunimento, mantenendo il colore brillante. Inoltre, l’utilizzo di soluzioni osmotiche a base di aronia e mirtillo ha mostrato un aumento della quantità totale di polifenoli e, di conseguenza anche dell’attività antiossidante, che si sono mantenuti tali anche dopo l’essiccamento.

Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, detalhamento dos materiais e métodos utilizados, a validação e testes do solver em FORTRAN tridimensional desenvolvido através do método dos volumes finitos, com uma formulação totalmente implícita. Foram feitos experimentos utilizando uma incubadora refrigerada com agitação para a realização da desidratação osmótica a fim de preparar as amostras para as secagens subseqüentes. As secagens foram realizadas em uma estufa com circulação de ar nas temperaturas de 50 e 70 °C, para secagens contínuas e intermitentes das maçãs (com razão de intermitência de 2/3 e períodos de têmpera de 30 min; 60 min; e 120 min com os frutos frescos, e têmperas de 20 min e 30 min para os frutos pré-tratados osmoticamente). Os resultados das cinéticas das secagens, estimativas de parâmetros relativos às frutas estudadas, mostraram-se compatíveis com a literatura. A temperaturas e os perí odos de têmpera utilizados influenciaram significativamente as cinéticas de teor de umidade, assim como os valores dos parâmetros de processo, determinados por otimização para todas as configurações experimentadas. Este trabalho também trata sobre o impacto da secagem intermitente sobre a economia de energia.
The present work had as objective to make a study of the continuous and intermittent drying of fresh and osmotically pre-treated of apple pieces cut in form of parallelepiped, using both empirical and diffusive models to description of the kinetics of the processes. For the diffusion model, thermo-physical parameters and variable dimensions were assumed. A bibliographic review was done on the subject, details of the materials and methods used, the validation and testing of the in three-dimensional FORTRAN solver developed using the finite volume method, with a fully implicit formulation. Experiments were done using a freezer shaker incubator for the osmotic dehydration in order to prepare the samples for subsequent drying. The drying was realized in an oven with air circulation at temperatures of 50 and 70 ° C, for continuous and intermittent drying of the apples (with intermittent ratio of 2/3 and tempering periods of 30 min, 60 min and 120 min for the fresh fruits, and tempers of 20 min and 30 min for osmotically pretreated fruits). The results of drying kinetics, estimates of parameters related to the fruits studied, were compatible with the literature. At the temperatures and the tempering periods used, they significantly influenced the kinetics of the moisture content, as well as the values of the process parameters determined by optimization for all configurations. Here also is shown the impact of intermittent drying on the energy saving and how the intermittent drying change for the better the product quallity is shown.

Abstract:
Microwave osmotic dehydration (MWOD) is a novel technique with a good potential for more efficient osmotic drying of fruits and vegetables. It combines the microwave heating with osmotic dehydration for enhancing moisture transfer rate in the osmotic dehydration process and product quality. Preliminary studies were carried out to compare the osmotic dehydration kinetics of apple (Red Gala) cylinders in microwave osmotic dehydration under continuous flow medium spray conditions (MWODS) with microwave osmotic dehydration under continuous flow medium immersion conditions (MWODI), as well as conventional osmotic drying (COD) in immersion (CODI) and spray (CODS) modes. The results showed that the MWODS process considerably enhanced the moisture transfer rate from the fruit, and limited the solids gain at the same time. In the second part, the two-parameter Azuara model and the conventional diffusion model were evaluated for describing the mass transfer kinetics of apple (Red Gala) cylinders during MWODS, MWODI, CODS and CODI. The results showed that both models adequately described the transient mass transfer kinetics during the OD process; however the Azuara model was superior. MWODS was further studied to evaluate the effect of various process variables (sucrose concentration, medium temperature, flow rate and contact time) by using response surface methodology and a central composite rotatable design. Predictive models were developed relate the response variables to process parameters. Finally optimization studies were carried out to elucidate optimal processing conditions under MWODS. The study demonstrated that moisture loss (ML), solids gain (SG) and weight reduction (WR) were predictably higher at higher sucrose concentrations, higher medium temperatures, longer contact times and higher flow rates. Since OD only results in partial dehydration, a second stage drying was evaluated employing conventional air drying and compared with freeze drying to identify cost effective systems for preserving the quality of the osmotically dehydrated shelf-stable fruits. The effect of MWODS pretreatment on air-drying kinetics and quality parameters (color, texture, and rehydration characteristics) of apple (Red Gala) cylinders was evaluated. The results revealed that drying time decreased with increasing concentrations and medium temperature of the MWODS treatment. Compared with untreated control samples, MWODS air-dried samples had higher coefficient of moisture diffusivity (Dm). In terms of quality parameters, the MWODS air-drying combination process resulted in a product with lower color change and a more chewy structure. The air dried product without MWODS had the least desirable quality characteristics. While the color was better preserved in the freeze dried product, it was much more brittle than MWODS – air-dried product. The rehydration capacity of MWODS air-dried products was lower than freeze-dried products and higher than air-dried. Overall, the thesis research contributes to a better understanding of the moisture transfer behavior during microwave osmotic dehydration under continuous flow medium spray processing conditions. Together with a simple second stage air-drying it can produce high quality dehydrated apple products.
La déshydratation osmotique à l'aide des micro-ondes (MWOD) est une nouvelle technique avec un bon potentiel pour plus d'efficacité de séchage osmotique des fruits et légumes. Il combine le chauffage micro-onde avec la déshydratation osmotique pour améliorer le taux de transfert de l'humidité dans le procédé de déshydratation osmotique et la qualité du produit. Des études préliminaires ont été effectuées pour comparer la cinétique de déshydratation osmotique des cylindres de pommes (Rouge Gala) à déshydratation osmotique sous conditions de flux continu de pulvérisation (MWODS) avec déshydratation osmotique à l'aide des micro-ondes sous flux continu d'immersion (MWODI), ainsi que séchage osmotique le conventionnel (COD) en mode d'immersion (CODI) et en mode de pulvérisation (CODS). Les résultats ont montré que le processus de MWODS a considérablement amélioré le taux de transfert d'humidité à partir du fruit et a limité le gain des solides en même temps. Dans la deuxième partie, le modèle d'Azuara à deux paramètres et le modèle de diffusion classique ont été évalués pour décrire la cinétique de transfert de masse des cylindres de la pomme (Rouge Gala) pendant MWODS, MWODI, COD et CODI. Les résultats ont montré que les deux modèles décrivent adéquatement la cinétique transitoire de transfert de masse pendant le processus d'OD, mais le modèle Azuara était supérieur. MWODS a aussi été étudié pour évaluer l'effet des différentes variables de processus (concentration en saccharose, la température du moyen, le taux de flux et le temps de contact) en utilisant la méthodologie de surface de réponse et la décomposition rotative du programme global. Les modèles prédictifs ont été développés pour relier les variables de réponse aux paramètres du procédé. Enfin, des études d'optimisation ont été menées pour élucider les conditions optimales de transformation sous MWODS. L'étude a démontré que la perte d'humidité (ML), les gains de solides (SG) et les pertes de poids (WR) ont été plus prévisibles à des concentrations de saccharose, températures de moyen, temps de contact et taux de flux plus élevés. Une deuxième étape de séchage a été évaluée employant l'air de séchage conventionnel par rapport à la lyophilisation pour identifier les systèmes efficaces pouvant préserver la qualité des fruits osmotiquement déshydratés. L'effet du prétraitement du MWODS sur la cinétique du séchage à l'air et l'effet des paramètres de qualité (couleur, texture, et caractéristiques de réhydratation) des cylindres de pomme (Rouge Gala) ont été évalués. Les résultats ont révélé que le temps de séchage diminue avec l'augmentation des concentrations et de la température du moyen du traitement MWODS. Par rapport aux échantillons témoins non traités, les MWODS échantillons séchés à l'air était ont un coefficient de diffusivité de l'humidité (Dm) plus entée. En termes de paramètres de qualité, le processus de MWODS avec séchage à l'air arrive à un produit avec un changement de couleur inférieur et une structure plus tendre. Le produit séché à l'air sans MWODS avait les caractéristiques de qualité le moins souhaitable. Bien que la couleur a été mieux préservé dans le produit lyophilisé, le produit était beaucoup plus fragile que le produit MWODS avec séchage à l'air. La capacité de réhydratation des produits de MWODS séchés à l'air est supérieure de celle des produits séchés à l'air et celle des produits lyophilisés.En général, cette recherche contribue à une meilleure compréhension du comportement de transfert d'humidité à micro-ondes pendant la déshydratation osmotique sous flux continu du moyen avec de la pulvérisation. Avec une deuxième simple étape du séchage à l'air, le processus peut produire des produits de pomme avec une haute qualité.

Abstract:
The general objective of this Ph.D. programme was to study and to optimize the development, in terms of process efficiencyand the product quality,of fruit-based dry products with intermediate water content through osmotic dehydration,or reduced water content by subsequent combination of this technique with other drying methods.The first part of the work focused on the osmotic dehydration (OD) of apple cubes and physalis. The adequacyof thefit of some mathematical models to describethe mass transfer kinetics inthe products was also studied.The objectives were to perform the OD of apple cubes and to study the effects of the solute (sucrose orsorbitol) and the concentration (40 and 60 °Bx) in the osmotic solution, the mass ratio ofsample to solution (1:4 or1:10), the temperature (25, 40 and 60 ºC), and the pressure (1 bar and 150 mbar) on the water loss (WL) and the solid gain (SG).Regarding physalis, the OD was performed with a mass ratio of sample to solution of 1:4 at 60 °C and the pressure was1 bar or150 mbar. Another objective was to evaluate the changes in the microstructure of the apple tissue after the osmotic treatment with sucrose orsorbitol. Thus, in the apple cubes, the sorbitol, the increase of the temperature and of the soluteconcentration in the osmotic solution resulted in an increase ofthe ODrate, but the mass ratio of the sample to the solution and the pressure did not affect the process. In the physalis, the initial WLrate increased when the vacuum was applied during the OD with sucrose and tended to increase with the use of sorbitol. At the end of the DO of apple cubes, it was observed,by microstructure analysis,that this process affected the size and shape parameters of plant cells and the changes were more pronounced in samples osmotically dehydrated with sorbitol. The OD process caused the shrinkage of the cells and,consequently,a reduction of volume, the plasmolysis and the folding of the cell walls.In the second part of the work, some drying methods were studied to obtain cut apple with reduced water content, namely hot air drying, microwave drying and freeze-drying.The effect of the osmotic pre-treatment with sucrose orsorbitol solutionswas also studied. For the best conditions of each method, the drying kinetics were compared amongthe different methods and the quality —water activity(aw), the colour, the total phenolic content(TPC), the antioxidant activity(AA)and the rehydration ability —of the dried apple cubes were evaluated.Theadequacyof thefit of some mathematical models to describe the water content during drying was also evaluated. Thus, the effect of the temperature (25, 55, 70 and 80 ºC) was studied on the hot air drying of osmotically dehydrated apple cubes (60 ºC, 60 ºBx sucrose orsorbitol solutions, mass ratio of sample to solution 1:4).In the microwave vidrying,the effect of the osmotic pre-treatment andthepower (160, 350, 500, 650, 750 and 850 W) on the WLkinetics of apple cubes was also evaluated. Finally, the WLkinetics of the freeze-drying of apple cubes were studied. Concerning thedried cut apple with reduced water content, the osmotic dehydration as pre-treatment before the hot air drying increased the drying rate and reduced the drying time. The osmotic agent did not affect the drying rate, but the use of sorbitol reduced more the drying time and the awof the final product.In the microwave drying, the increase of the power level reduced the drying time and this reduction was higherfor samples osmotically dehydrated with sorbitol. OD prior to freeze-drying did not present a relevant advantage and the awwas lower in non-treated samples. The type of drying and the pre-treatment did not affect the rehydration rate of the dried apple cubes, but the control samples presentedhigher equilibrium water content than the osmotically dehydrated ones.The OD and subsequent drying by hot air, microwave and freeze-drying, significantly decreased the TPC and the AA. These quality parameters of the osmotically dehydrated samples were not affected by the subsequent drying, but only by the OD.In order to compare the effect of the osmotic agent used in the OD on the consumer’sacceptance, the sensory analysis of hot air dried apple cubes pre-treated osmotically with sucrose orsorbitol was carried out. There was no difference in theresults and the final product was well accepted by consumers.Among the drying methods studied, microwave drying without osmotic pre-treatment produced dried apple cubes with good quality and in a short time. Sorbitol is a good alternative to sucrose as theagent in the osmotic pre-treatment of apple cubes and physalis. Furthermore, sorbitol isa prebioticwith health benefits.
O objetivo geral deste programa de doutoramento foi estudar e otimizar o desenvolvimento, a níveldaeficiênciadoprocesso e da qualidade, de produtos à base de frutos desidratados, de teor intermédio de água por desidratação osmótica, ou de teor reduzido de água por combinação desta técnica com outros métodos subsequentes de secagem.A primeira parte do trabalho incidiu na desidratação osmótica (DO) de cubos de maçã e fisális. A capacidade de ajuste de alguns modelos matemáticos em descrever as cinéticas de transferência de massa nos produtos também foi estudada. Os objetivos consistiram em realizar a DO de cubos de maçã e estudar os efeitos do soluto (sacarose ousorbitol) e da concentração (40 e 60 °Bx) na solução osmótica, da razão mássica amostra: solução (1:4 e 1:10), da temperatura (25, 40 e 60 ºC), e da pressão (1 bar e 150 mbar) na perda de água (PA) e no ganho sólidos (GS). Relativamente à fisális, a DO foi efetuada com uma razão mássica amostra: solução de 1:4, a 60 ºC e a pressão foi de1 bar ou150 mbar. Outro dos objetivos foi avaliar as alterações da microestrutura do tecido da maçã após o tratamento osmótico com sacarose e sorbitol. Assim, nos cubos de maçã, o sorbitol, o aumento da temperatura e o aumento da concentração do soluto na solução osmótica resultaram num aumento da velocidade da DO, mas a razão mássica amostra: solução e a pressão não afetaramo processo. Na fisális, a velocidade inicial de PAaumentou quando o vácuo foi aplicado durante a DO com sacarose e apresentou tendência a aumentar com o uso de sorbitol. No final da DO de cubos de maçã, observou-se, por análise da microestrutura, que este processo afetou os parâmetros de tamanho e forma das células vegetais e as alterações foram mais pronunciadas em amostras osmoticamente desidratadas com sorbitol. O processo de DO provocou o encolhimento das células e consequentemente uma redução de volume, a plasmólise e o dobramento das paredes celulares.Na segunda parte do trabalho,foram estudados métodos de secagem para obter maçã cortada com teor de água reduzido, nomeadamente a secagem a ar quente, a secagem por micro-ondas e a liofilização. Estudou-se também o efeito do pré-tratamento osmótico com soluçõesde sacarose e sorbitol. Para as melhores condições de cada método, foi efetuada a comparação das cinéticas de secagem entre os diferentes métodos e foi avaliada a qualidade —atividade da água(aw), cor, teorfenólico total(TFT), atividade antioxidante(AA)e capacidade de reidratação —dos cubos de maçã secos. A capacidade de ajuste de alguns modelos matemáticos para descrever o teor de água durante a secagem também foi avaliada. Assim, foi avaliado o efeito da temperatura (25, 55, 70 e 80 ºC) na secagem a ar quente de cubos de maçã osmoticamente desidratados (60 ºC, solução de sacarose ousorbitol a 60 ºBx, razão mássica amostra: solução 1:4). Na secagem por micro-ondas,foi também avaliado o efeito do pré-tratamento osmótico e da potência (160, 350, 500, 650, 750 e 850 W) na cinética de PAde cubos de maçã. Finalmente, estudou-se a cinética de PAde cubos de maçã na liofilização. No que diz respeito à maçã cortada seca comteor reduzido de água, a desidratação osmótica como pré-tratamento antes da secagem a ar quente aumentou a velocidade e reduziu o tempo de secagem. O agente osmótico não afetou a velocidade de secagem, mas a utilizaçãode sorbitol reduziu mais o tempo de secagem e a awdo produto final. Na secagem por micro-ondas, o aumento do nível de potência reduziu o tempo de secagem e esta redução foi maior para as amostras osmoticamente desidratadas com sorbitol. A DO antes da liofilização não apresentou uma vantagemrelevante e a awfoi menor em amostras semtratamentoosmótico.O tipo de secagem e o pré-tratamento não afetaram a velocidade de reidratação dos cubos de maçã secos, mas as amostras controlo apresentaram um teor de água de equilíbrio superioràs amostrasosmoticamente desidratadas.A DO e a secagem subsequente, por ar quente, micro-ondas e liofilização, diminuiram significativamente o TFT e a AA. Nas amostras osmoticamente desidratadas, estes parâmetros de qualidadenão foram afetados pela secagem subsequente, mas apenas pela DO. Com o objetivo de comparar o efeito do agente osmótico utilizado na DO na aceitação pelo consumidor, foi efetuada a análise sensorial de cubos de maçã secos a ar quente pré-tratados osmoticamente com sacarose ousorbitol. Não houve diferença nos resultados e o produto final foi bemaceite pelos consumidores.De entre os métodos de secagem estudados, a secagem por micro-ondas sem pré-tratamento produziu cubos de maçã secos deboa qualidade e numtemporeduzido. O sorbitol é uma boa alternativa à sacarose como agente no pré-tratamento osmótico de cubos de maçã e fisális. Para além disso, o sorbitol éum prebiótico com benefíciospara a saúde.

Abstract:
Exploring the food acoustic features can help to understand and effectively apply some preservation treatments that extend their expiration date. The food composition and properties are crucial issues in their acoustic behavior when stimulated with acoustic waves. If these waves are varied in frequency and intensity, the temperature of food could be affected facilitating the moisture removal or degrading its nutritional condition. Therefore, we presented a guide to determine and apply the most influential spectral component of ultrasound waves on apple and tomato when dehydrated in an ultrasound-assisted dehydration system. In this guide, applying the finite element method, we study, simulate, and analyze the acoustic and thermic behavior of apple and tomato inside a chamber when radiated with acoustic waves at (1 Hz, 1 MHz) by using up to three piezoelectric transducers. From the physical parameters defined in the simulation environment for apple and tomato, we find the relevant spectral components that can produce temperature changes in each food sample considering the radiation time and the food sample location. This work represents an analysis guide that allows for determining the best conditions for the acoustic radiation of foods, avoiding their structural and nutritional damage, and seeking the design of energy-efficient processes.

Apple samples were submitted to partially drying prior to freezing. Then, quality assessments were achieved in order to evaluate the quality of these various frozen samples during frozen-storage. Significant positive effects of water content were observed on thaw exudate water and total color difference of dehydrofrozen/thawed apples. Total polyphenol content and total flavonoid content losses were important for samples without any dehydration pretreatment. They noticeably decreased when water content decreased during the whole period of storage. Thus, a partial removal of water prior to freezing is a relevant way to maintain the stability of fruit quality during long-term frozen-storage.

Abstract:
The great amount of waste produced by food industry contains interesting bioactive compounds. The extraction of these compounds requires the by-products previous stabilization being the convective drying one of most used techniques to this end. Drying conditions can affect both drying kinetics and final quality of products. The apple skin, byproduct of apple juice or cider industries, is rich in functional compounds such as polyphenols or vitamin C. The main goal of this contribution was to quantify the influence of temperature and ultrasound application in drying kinetics of apple skin. For this purpose, drying experiments at different temperatures (-10, 30, 50 and 70 ºC) and with (20.5 kW/m3) and without application of ultrasound were carried out. Drying kinetics were modelled by using a diffusion based model. As can be expected, the higher the temperature the faster the drying. Ultrasound application accelerated the process at every temperature tested being the influence slightly lower than found from the literature for other products. This can be attributed at the physical structure of the apple skin, less porous than the pulp. In any case, the application of ultrasound significantly reduced the drying time.

Abstract:
Power ultrasounds have been proposed and extensively investigated as an effective way to speed up the atmospheric freeze-drying process, thus making this dehydration process attractive from an industrial viewpoint. Nevertheless, a rigorous investigation on the impact of power ultrasounds on the energy consumed by the process is still missing. This paper aims to investigate this issue. Apple, carrot and eggplant were chosen as representative products with different textures and water content. A mathematical model of the whole plant required to carry out the atmospheric ultrasound-assisted drying process was developed to assess the effect of the operating conditions on the energy consumption. Model parameters were tuned on the basis of the results obtained in a pilot-scale unit, thus allowing the use of the model to simulate the whole industrial dehydration process. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was used as a complementary tool to gain an insight on the environmental impact of the process. Results showed that due to differences in the water diffusivity for the analyzed products, substantial differences in energy consumption can be highlighted. In fact, when the water diffusivity increases, the capacity of the material to move water away also increases and the time to obtain a dry product is thus reduced. Moreover, although the use of ultrasound causes an increase in the hourly energy consumption (kWh·h-1), the total energy consumption of the whole process (kWh) is lower, since the total operation time is reduced. The LCA results highlighted the cooling system as the most critical stage for all the impact categories studied. This is mainly due to the use of ethylene glycol and R-404 in the refrigeration cycle. Nevertheless, when dehydrating low porosity products the energy consumption of the air dryer increased and this stage becomes, the most critical from an environmental point of viewKeywords: atmospheric freeze-drying, ultrasounds, process modeling, LCA.

Abstract:
Flame retardant property to paper increases the use of paper and the value of paper products. The flame retardant property was achieved by the addition of an organophosphorus agent to the paper. A great deal of research has been done on 9,10-Dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) derivatives as flame retardants. To apply the flame retardant property in condensed phase, DOPO derivative materials are generally used as an acid source for intumescent flame retardants to promote dehydration and carbonization of the charring agent to form a continuous layer of carbon. In this study, In order to prepare a flame retardant paper coating, DOPO derivative was synthesized with 3-aminophenyl sulfone, and benzaldehyde reaction and the chemical structure of DOPO is illuminated by ATR-FTIR then paper was coating with a flame retardant coating formulation ingredient with DOPO. The paper’s properties were investigated. Surface energy of coated papers and contact angles were determined with goniometer. Printability parameters such as color, gloss, surface tension were examined. The results the study DOPO added paper coatings improve the paper flame retardancy.
