Hyperspectral Imaging Evaluation Of The Freshness Of Mushrooms (Agaricus Bisporus), Meera Hmoud Saeed Aldhaheri 2019 United Arab Emirates University

Hyperspectral Imaging Evaluation Of The Freshness Of Mushrooms (Agaricus Bisporus), Meera Hmoud Saeed Aldhaheri

Theses

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a non-destructive analytical tool that can be used for sensing multiple attributes of foods. This thesis evaluates the application of HSI for measuring the freshness of the mushroom Agaricus bisporus (A. bisporus) in comparison with traditional seed methods. Three separate experiments were performed with 135 mushroom samples stored either in packed or unpacked conditions for 11 days. The overall results suggest that the HSI spectral region between 400 and 1000 nm is suitable for the inspection of mushroom freshness. Two distinguishing variables that aligned with physicochemical and microbiological analysis were recognized. Moisture loss was the main …

Food and Machinery

The physicochemical and emulsifying properties of pork myobrillar protein (MP) solution treated by ultrasound power: 0, 80, 140, 180 and 200 W were examined. Compared with MP without ultrasonic treatment, with the increase of ultrasonic power, d4, 3 of MP decreased, while solubility, absolute value of the zeta potential, emulsifying activity and emulsion stability were significantly increased. Meanwhile 180 W was the optimum ultrasound power to obtain the highest emulsifying activity index (EAI) and emulsion stability index (ESI). The increase of emulsion stability was related to increased zeta potential and reduced average particle size. Optical microscopy observation proved that …
