Physicochemical characteristics of rapidly dried onion powder and its anti-atherogenic effect on rats fed high-fat diet

Rapidly dried onion (Allium cepa L. cv. Momiji No. 3) powder (OP) prepared from the outer layers (from second to fourth scale leaves from the surface) of onion bulbs was analysed for its quercetin and polyuronide contents, the effects of enzymatic treatment and the anti-atherogenic effect on rats fed a high-fat diet. Quercetin 4′-glucoside (50%), free quercetin (30%) and quercetin 3,4′-diglucoside (20%) were identified as quercetin derivatives, and boiling-water extraction was effective in extracting these compounds. OP contained 12.9% of polyuronides, the basic skeleton of pectin. Enzymatic degradation (cellulase and pectinase, 50 °C for 12 h, pH 6.0) of OP was effective in obtaining a slurry of smaller particle sizes. The free quercetin increased and the glucosides decreased with enzyme treatment. In Wistar rats fed an OP-added high-fat diet, the total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were not significantly different from the rats fed a high-fat diet without OP. However, the atherogenic index (AI) of Wistar rats fed an OP-added high-fat diet was lower (AI = 3.3) than rats fed the diet without OP (AI = 4.1). The incremental elastic modulus (IEM) of the aorta from rats fed the OP-added diet was also significantly lower than that of the rats fed the diet without OP. The AI and IEM values of the rats fed the OP-added diet were quite similar to the values of rats fed the diet without OP but were allowed spontaneous exercise. These results suggest that OP intake is effective for decreasing the risk of arteriosclerosis.

The control of paracetamol particle size and surface morphology through crystallisation in a spray dryer

The parameters governing the crystallisation of paracetamol using various conventional techniques has been extensively studied, however the factors influencing the drug crystallisation using spray drying is not as well understood. The aim of this work was to investigate the crystallisation of an active pharmaceutical ingredient through evaporative crystallisation using a spray dryer to study the physicochemical properties of the drug and to use semi-empirical equations to gain insight into the morphology and particle size of the dried powder. Paracetamol solutions were spray dried at various inlet temperatures ranging from 60 °C to 120 °C and also from a series of inlet feed solvent compositions ranging from 50/50% v/v ethanol/water to 100% ethanol and solid-state characterisation was done. The size and morphology of the dried materials were altered with a change in spray drying parameters, with an increase in inlet temperature leading to an increase in particle Sauter mean diameter (from 3.0 to 4.4 µm) and a decrease in the particle size with an increase in ethanol concentration in the feed (from 4.6 to 4.4 µm) as a result of changes in particle density and atomised droplet size. The morphology of the dried particles consisted of agglomerates of individual crystallites bound together into larger semi-spherical agglomerates with a higher tendency for particles having crystalline ridges to form at higher ethanol concentrations of the feed.     

加工方式对玉筋鱼干风味的影响

为研究加工方式对玉筋鱼干风味的影响，实验按加工方式分为加盐煮制冷风干燥（boiling in salt solution followed by cold air drying，SCC）组和冷风干燥（cold air drying，CD）组。采用电子鼻技术、气相离子迁移谱（gas chromatography-ion mobility spectroscopy，GC-IMS）技术、氨基酸自动分析技术、高效液相色谱技术测定玉筋鱼干中的风味成分。结果表明，不同加工方式制作的玉筋鱼干在气味、滋味方面存在显著差异。电子鼻、GC-IMS技术均能区分不同工艺制作的玉筋鱼干气味，采用GC-IMS技术共分析出68 种挥发性成分，庚醛、戊醛、3-甲基丁醛对玉筋鱼干独特风味的形成有重要影响，其中3-甲基丁醛源自CD工艺，其区别于SCC工艺气味的关键物质。玉筋鱼干中的主要鲜味氨基酸是Glu，主要呈味核苷酸是肌苷酸；CD组玉筋鱼干中的鲜味氨基酸和甜味氨基酸含量占总游离氨基酸的比重高于SCC组，同时CD组滋味活性值、味精当量值均高于SCC组，所以仅采用CD工艺制作的玉筋鱼干滋味优于加盐煮制后CD工艺制作的玉筋鱼干。     

LF-NMR to explore water migration and water–protein interaction of lamb meat being air-dried at 35°C

To decrease the drying time and energy consuming, water migration and water–protein interactions of lamb meat being air-dried at 35°C were investigated. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance T_2b indicated the water–protein interactions changed during air-drying. Area of T₂₁ (intramyofibrillar water) decreased, meanwhile the area of T₂₂ (extra-myofibrillar water) increased when the moisture content decreased from 55 to 45%, indicating the water migrated from myofibril to extramyofibril. Drying rate (the rate of water migration from meat to air) could be predicted by the area of T₂ populations, and the correlation coefficient was 0.990. Change of water binding and hydration in myofibrils was evident by the increase in hydrophobicity and decrease in solubility of myofibrillar protein. Differential scanning calorimetry showed denaturation of myosin in dried meat which might result in water migration from myofibril to extramyofibril space. In conclusion, water–protein interactions changed, and then influenced the drying rate during drying.     

Softness,elasticity, and smoothness characteristics of cooked udon noodles based on texture analysis

Objective evaluation methods for the elasticity, smoothness, and softness of cooked udon noodles were established on the basis of texture analysis. Noodles with different diameters and amylose contents were prepared to verify the reliability of the proposed evaluation methods. Results revealed that the elasticity of udon noodles could be examined by using the method that involved rinsing cooked noodles with 10°C cold water for 30 s and stretching a single strand of cooked noodle at 3 mm/s with an A/KIE probe until broken. The stiffness of the sample at 3.5 mm could be determined to indicate the elasticity caused by the size of dried udon noodles. The softness and smoothness of cooked udon noodles could be examined when cooled and drained for 30 s by using an heavy duty platform/pasta firmness/stickiness rig probe. The elasticity of cooked udon noodles increased as their diameter increased, and their smoothness and softness significantly increased as the amylose content decreased (p < .05). Texture analysis could be used to quickly and accurately indicate the elasticity, softness, and smoothness of cooked udon noodles. The texture characteristics of udon noodles were related to their formulation, processing, and size. Establishing an adaptability evaluation method for the quality of udon noodles is a prerequisite for optimizing processing technologies and developing new products. Thus far, limited research has focused on objective methods for evaluating the texture of cooked udon noodles. This work developed valuable instrumental methods for examining the elasticity, softness, and smoothness of cooked udon noodles and provided noodle manufacturers a tool for selecting udon noodle formulations and processing technology based on texture analysis.
