Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Elderberry (Sambucus sp.) fruit is a healthful food with a variety of reported curative properties and is among the richest sources of anthocyanic pigmentation, which are the primary factors for its commercial use. Although a variety of value-added elderberry products are available to consumers, it is questionable as to which product form contains the highest nutrient levels and color stability characteristics, and represents the best value to consumers. It was the objectives of this research to evaluate a variety of commercial elderberry products, and to develop a value-added elderberry product with enhanced nutrient and color stability.

Effect Of Roasting Conditions On Hardness, Moisture Content And Colour Of Pistachio Kernels, 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’ …
