This study was conducted to determine the effect of osmotic dehydration on air drying characteristics of pomegranate arils. Osmotic dehydration was performed at different time and temperatures combinations. Mass transfer parameters were studied using response surface methodology. After osmotic dehydration, the arils were air dried till moisture content became 8.0%. Page model of drying was fitted on experimental data. Osmotic pretreatment decreased the exponential coefficient of the model. Osmotic dehydration conditions and air drying constant were combined in a single mathematical model with optimization at lowest time for overall dehydration. This goal was achieved when the arils were pretreated for 93 minutes at 39°C. This research might help to choose drying conditions for pomegranate arils on an industrial scale.

Improperly practiced postharvest procedures can pose mycotoxin-related risks in the production of medicinal herbs. As a health food with pharmacological supplements, cereal-based adlay has been broadly used in oriental medical practice. Compared with the standard production protocol, three provisional critical control points (CCPs) in the conventional procedure were identified and assessed for mycotoxin contamination in the adlay from small farms in Korea. Although various mycotoxins were present, the prevalence of deoxynivalenol (DON) or zearalenone (ZEN) was relatively high in the adlay. In terms of drying conditions, field drying in the conventional pathway was associated with more exposure to DON than heated-air drying. Moreover, the DON or ZEN levels in chaff were higher than the levels in the inner grain, suggesting that the hulling process as another CCP would reduce the DON or ZEN exposure. In particular, the DON or ZEN levels in adlay stored for protracted periods without dehulling were very high, but a lower storage temperature of 12°C was not effective at significantly reducing these mycotoxins. In this case, the inner grain was more contaminated with DON or ZEN than the chaff after protracted storage because surface fungi, which produce mycotoxins, can penetrate deep into grain with time. Heated-air drying and nonprotracted storage limited DON contamination in adlay. More importantly, an early dehulling process should be adopted as an easy preventive action to reduce the risk of exposure to DON or ZEN in adlay postharvest. This is monitored as a central CCP for safer production of adlay from local farms.
