The Effects Of Roasting Time And Temperature On The Antioxidant Capacity Of Cocoa Beans From Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Indonesia, And Ivory Coast, Whitney Leigh Harrington
The Effects Of Roasting Time And Temperature On The Antioxidant Capacity Of Cocoa Beans From Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Indonesia, And Ivory Coast, Whitney Leigh Harrington
Masters Theses
Roasting is an important processing step for developing cocoa flavor, color, and aroma. Cocoa beans contain polyphenolic compounds, which can be desirable antioxidants. Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) values can be used as an indicator of health benefits of antioxidants in foods. ORAC values measure total antioxidant capacity of different foods by measuring antioxidant scavenging activity against peroxyl radical induced by 2,2’-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH). This measurement of total antioxidant capacity gives a complete assessment during which the inhibition time and inhibition degree are measured as the reaction comes to a completion. ORAC values were determined as Trolox Equivalents (TE). …

Effect Of Roasting Conditions On Hardness, Moisture Content And Colour Of Pistachio Kernels, Ahmad Shakerardekani
Effect Of Roasting Conditions On Hardness, Moisture Content And Colour Of Pistachio Kernels, Ahmad Shakerardekani
Ahmad Shakerardekani
Roasting of whole-kernels is an important step in the production of pistachio paste. The effect of
hot air roasting temperatures (90-190°C) and times (5-65 min) on the hardness, moisture content and colour
attributes (‘L’, ‘a’ and ‘b’ values and yellowness index) of both whole-kernel and ground-state were investigated
using response surface methodology (RSM). Increases in roasting temperature and time caused a decrease in all
the responses except for ‘a’ value of ground-state. The interaction and quadratic models sufficiently described
the changes in the hardness and colour values, respectively. The result of RSM analysis showed that hardness
and colour attributes (‘L’ …
A Multidisciplinary Approach To Food Safety Evaluation: Hummus Spoilage And Microbial Analysis Of Kitchen Surfaces In Residential Child Care Institutions (Rcci) In Massachusetts, U.S.A., Elsina E. Hagan
Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
Food borne illnesses continues to be a public health challenge in the United States (U.S.); an estimated 9.4 million incident cases occurred in 2011. In view of this challenge we conducted two food safety studies; 1) related to product formulation (hummus spoilage challenge study) and 2) evaluating the microbial safety of domestic kitchen surfaces in Residential Child Care Institutions (RCCI pilot study).
Hummus is of Mediterranean origin but is currently eaten globally. This challenge study evaluates a variety of industrial hummus formulations (four in total, differing in pH and/or addition of a preservative (natamycin). Two batches were setup: batch 1; …
