Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eggs are a rich source of high-quality proteins as they contain all amino acids necessary for the human body. They also contain all vitamins (except for vitamin C) and many essential minerals. Eggs mainly consist of egg white (albumen) and egg yolk. Egg white is mainly made up of proteins and has excellent foaming properties; it is widely used in the baking and confectionary industries (e.g., cake mixtures, meringue). Dehydration is widely used for the preservation of egg. Dehydrated egg products usually have a shelf life of one year under refrigeration. Spray drying and pan drying are widely used for producing egg powder. The higher drying temperature associated with these drying methods could adversely affect the nutritional value of egg. Freeze drying is well known for its excellent dehydrated product quality. The high cost of operation associated with freeze drying restricts its usage to high value products like coffee. Foam-mat drying can be used for the products that can be foamed to increase the surface area to improve the mass transfer rate. But the higher drying temperature involved in this method is not suitable for producing a high quality dehydrated product. Foam-mat freeze drying is one of the promising methods of drying, which tries to utilize the advantages of both freeze drying and foam-mat drying to produce better quality egg white powder. Preliminary experiments showed that the stability of foams made with egg white alone is not adequate for foam-mat freeze drying. Experiments were thus conducted using different stabilizers (Methyl cellulose, Propylene glycol alginate and Xanthan gum) to optimize foam stability. Bubble size distribution was determined using microscopy to understand foam structure. The results showed that Xanthan gum at 0.125% provide sufficient stability for freeze drying. Experiments were conducted to study foam-mat freeze drying of egg white, in an effort to determine the suitability of this method. The results showed that th" --

Download or read book Innovative Food Processing Technologies written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 2482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food process engineering, a branch of both food science and chemical engineering, has evolved over the years since its inception and still is a rapidly changing discipline. While traditionally the main objective of food process engineering was preservation and stabilization, the focus today has shifted to enhance health aspects, flavour and taste, nutrition, sustainable production, food security and also to ensure more diversity for the increasing demand of consumers. The food industry is becoming increasingly competitive and dynamic, and strives to develop high quality, freshly prepared food products. To achieve this objective, food manufacturers are today presented with a growing array of new technologies that have the potential to improve, or replace, conventional processing technologies, to deliver higher quality and better consumer targeted food products, which meet many, if not all, of the demands of the modern consumer. These new, or innovative, technologies are in various stages of development, including some still at the R&D stage, and others that have been commercialised as alternatives to conventional processing technologies. Food process engineering comprises a series of unit operations traditionally applied in the food industry. One major component of these operations relates to the application of heat, directly or indirectly, to provide foods free from pathogenic microorganisms, but also to enhance or intensify other processes, such as extraction, separation or modification of components. The last three decades have also witnessed the advent and adaptation of several operations, processes, and techniques aimed at producing high quality foods, with minimum alteration of sensory and nutritive properties. Some of these innovative technologies have significantly reduced the thermal component in food processing, offering alternative nonthermal methods. Food Processing Technologies: A Comprehensive Review, Three Volume Set covers the latest advances in innovative and nonthermal processing, such as high pressure, pulsed electric fields, radiofrequency, high intensity pulsed light, ultrasound, irradiation and new hurdle technology. Each section will have an introductory article covering the basic principles and applications of each technology, and in-depth articles covering the currently available equipment (and/or the current state of development), food quality and safety, application to various sectors, food laws and regulations, consumer acceptance, advancements and future scope. It will also contain case studies and examples to illustrate state-of-the-art applications. Each section will serve as an excellent reference to food industry professionals involved in the processing of a wide range of food categories, e.g., meat, seafood, beverage, dairy, eggs, fruits and vegetable products, spices, herbs among others.
