Objective: This study was carried out to investigate physicochemical properties, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of low-fat sausages (LFSs) covered with sodium alginate (SA) film alone and with powder film (TSA-film) formed by cross-linking cherry tomato powder (CTP) and SA with calcium chloride (CaCl2).Methods: Sausages covered with the biodegradable film were assessed based on the measurement of pH, color (L*, a*, b*), proximate analysis, expressive moisture (EM), texture profile analysis, total plate counts (TPC), violet red bile, and 2-Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) during storage under refrigeration. LFSs wrapped with TSA-film were compared with those wrapped with SA-film and without film (control) during storage at 10°C for 35 days.Results: The LFSs covered with the mixed film had lower pH, lightness (L*), EM%, TBARS, and TPC, but lower yellowness (b*) and hardness values than those wrapped with TSA-film alone.Conclusion: Lipid oxidation and microbial growth was retarded in sausages covered with biodegradable films, especially multiple films as compared to single film, thereby resulting in extended shelf-life of the LFSs.

Processing and shaping of dried gels are of interest in several fields like alginate aerogel beads used as highly porous and nanostructured particles in biomedical applications. The physicochemical properties of the alginate source, the solvent used in the gelation solution and the gel drying method are key parameters influencing the characteristics of the resulting dried gels. In this work, dried gel beads in the form of xerogels, cryogels or aerogels were prepared from alginates of different molecular weights (120 and 180 kDa) and concentrations (1.25, 1.50, 2.0 and 2.25% (w/v)) using different gelation conditions (aqueous and ethanolic CaCl2 solutions) and drying methods (supercritical drying, freeze-drying and oven drying) to obtain particles with a broad range of physicochemical and textural properties. The stability of physicochemical properties of alginate aerogels under storage conditions of 25 °C and 65% relative humidity (ICH-climatic zone II) during 1 and 3 months was studied. Results showed significant effects of the studied processing parameters on the resulting alginate dried gel properties. Stability studies showed small variations in aerogels weight and specific surface area after 3 months of storage, especially, in the case of aerogels produced with medium molecular weight alginate.

Abstract At present, the preservation of the consumer properties of berry products is an urgent problem. Use of fresh garden strawberries is limited by a short storage period and seasonality. Under optimal storage conditions in a normal atmosphere, the average shelf life of strawberries is from 2 to 9 days depending on the variety. To meet the needs of the population in garden strawberries and meet the physiological needs in a unique complex of biologically active substances, strawberries are subjected to different processing methods. Drying being a type of fruit and berry products processing has the following advantages: a significant increase in the shelf life of products, a decrease in the mass and storage volumes of dried berries, preservation of minerals, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, antioxidants, bioflavonoids and many biologically active compounds in berries. Modern drying technologies allow preserving the content of essential vitamins to its full extent. Comparison of two technologies for drying garden strawberries has established that vitamins and other biologically active substances are well preserved in berries. Berries dried by convective vacuum-impulse method (CVI) are recommended to be used for food enrichment.


Demands for processed food products are rising worldwide and, consumers nowadays have adopted a healthy lifestyle and are always looking for the products which are advantageous for their health and have the characteristics and taste of a fresh commodity at the same time. Many techniques or combination of techniques have been tried to expand the shelf life of the perishable food commodities. One of the simplest methods which do not require sophisticated equipment is osmotic dehydration. Osmotic dehydration is an excellent phenomenon in which removal of water happens from an area of higher concentration to an area where concentration is lower through a membrane known as a semi-permeable membrane. Since osmotic dehydration lowers the water activity of food item; it has found broad application in the field of food material preservation. In this study pineapple cubes were dehydrated with osmotic dehydration followed by tray drying at 60℃ were assessed for physicochemical properties such as moisture, ash, rehydration ratio, ascorbic acid, water activity, color parameters and sensory properties. Sucrose solution, honey solution and honey-sucrose solution were used as osmotic agents. Duncan’s test was used to analyze the obtained data. Results showed that the pineapple sample cubes treated with honey sucrose solution at 50⁰C temperature were found to have better rehydration characteristics and lowest moisture content value as compared to the other samples. Sensory evaluation of all the samples revealed that highest scores were obtained by the sample containing both sucrose and honey (50⁰C). Highest ascorbic acid content after the osmotic dehydration was found in sample with sucrose and honey. Hence, sample with combination of sucrose and honey solution at 50⁰C proved to be the best in terms of nutritional quality, shelf stability and all other tested parameters. Therefore, many products with enhanced shelf life can be prepared using this rapid and economical technique.
