    ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY, SOME NUTRITIONAL AND COLOUR PROPERTIES OF VACUUM DRIED STRAWBERRY TREE (ARBUTUS UNEDO L.) FRUITE
    (Termedia Publishing House Ltd, 2011) Orak, H. Hulya; Aktas, Turkan; Yagar, Hulya; Isbilir, S. Selen; Ekinci, Neslihan; Sahin, Fusun H.
    Background. The strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.) fruit contains a higher amount of nutrients and bioactive compounds than many other cultivated species, however, the edible use of this fruit is currently not widespread. In this study, the influences of vacuum drying have been investigated in terms of changing of some nutritional characteristics, antioxidant properties, and colour. Material and methods. Fruits were collected from Canakkale province in Turkey and next vacuum dried. Ethyl oleate and water blanching pre-treatments were applied to fruits before drying. Ascorbic acid, reducing sugar, minerals, colour, total phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, beta-carotene bleaching activity and HMF formation were determined. Results. The EO pretreatment shortened the drying time more than WB and gives a higher beta-carotene bleaching activity, lower HMF and higher yellowness and brightness of external colour characteristics. Conclusions. In this research, the effects of vacuum drying process on the colour, antioxidant activity and nutritional characteristics of fruit have been determined and it has been concluded that the strawberry tree fruit is assessable in food industry by drying due to rich nutritional components, antioxidant activity and attractive colour of the fruit.

    Water diffusion and Desorption Behavior during low-temperature drying of foods
    (Soc Chemical Eng Japan, 2007) Aktas, Turkan; Fujii, Sachie; Yamamoto, Shuichi
    The water diffusion and the water desorption behavior of sugars and pasta-like foods for temperatures between 283 K and 323 K were investigated by isothermal drying experiments and desorption isotherm measurement. The equilibrium water content in low water activity increased with a decrease in temperature for sucrose and maltodextrin whereas the values did not change significantly with temperature for pasta-like foods. The water diffusion coefficient of sucrose was much lower than those of pasta-like foods. Because of these two factors, the drying rates at low temperatures for pasta-like foods were higher than those for sucrose.
