Particular Applications Of Food Irradiation Fresh Produce, Anuradha Prakash

Food Science Faculty Articles and Research

On fresh fruits and vegetables, irradiation at low and medium dose levels can effectively reduce microbial counts which can enhance safety, inhibit sprouting to extend shelf-life, and eliminate or sterilize insect pests which can serve to facilitate trade between countries. At the dose levels used for these purposes, the impact on quality is negligible. Despite the fact that regulations in many countries allow the use of irradiation for fresh produce, the technology remains under-utilized, even in the light of an increase in produce related disease outbreaks and the economic benefits of extended shelflife and reduced food waste.

Quality Changes And Freezing Time Prediction During Freezing And Thawing Of Ginger, Poonam Singha, Kasiviswanathan Muthukumarappan

Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Publications

Effects of different freezing rates and four different thawing methods on chemical composition, microstructure, and color of ginger were investigated. Computer simulation for predicting the freezing time of cylindrical ginger for two different freezing methods (slow and fast) was done using ANSYS® Multiphysics. Different freezing rates (slow and fast) and thawing methods significantly (P < 0.05) affected the color and composition of essential oil in ginger. Fresh ginger was found to contain 3.60% gingerol and 18.30% zingerone. A maximum yield of 7.43% gingerol was obtained when slow frozen gingers when thawed by infrared method. Maximum zingerone content of 38.30% was achieved by thawing slow frozen gingers using infrared-microwave method. Microscopic examination revealed that structural damage was more pronounced in slow frozen gingers than fast frozen gingers. Simulated freezing curves were in good agreement with experimental measurements (r = 0.97 for slow freezing and r = 0.92 for fast freezing). Slow freezing damaged ginger’s cellular structure. Data obtained will be helpful in selecting appropriate thawing method to increase desirable essential oil components in ginger. Computer simulation for predicting freezing time may help in developing proper storage system of ginger.

Food and Machinery

The whirlpool separator, which is a typical solid-liquid separation equipment, is one of the requested equipment in beer brewing. This study conducted by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology examined the feed tube angles of 0～25° on the separation effect of whirlpool settling vat in order to find swing settlement regularity in the process. Results showed that, under the same feeding condition, the sedimentation effect could be improved by increasing incident angle within a certain degree. Nevertheless, increasing the incident angle to further degree would reduce the settlement effect. The result provides reference for structure design and optimization of whirlpool separator.
