Comparison of Drying Methods and Their Effect on the Stability of Graševina Grape Pomace Biologically Active Compounds

Abstract

Valorisation of grape pomace, a by-product of the winery industry, has been pushed into the spotlight in recent years since it can enable lower environmental impact, but it can also bring an added value to the wine production process by recovering several grape pomace biologically active compounds. The first step that allows for grape pomace reuse is its drying, which should be carefully performed in order to preserve the biologically active compounds’ stability. In this study, the effects of different drying methods on the stability of polyphenols, tannins and tartaric acid in grape pomace (Vitis vinifera) cv. Graševina were investigated. In particular, vacuum drying (at different temperatures: 35, 50 and 70 °C), conventional drying at 70 °C and open sun drying were performed and the drying kinetics was described using Peleg’s model. Considering the processing time and thermodynamics, vacuum drying at 70 °C was the most convenient processing method. Polyphenols were highly stable during drying, and slight degradation occurred during vacuum drying at 35 and 50 °C. Tannins and tartaric acid were more prone to degradation depending on the drying method applied and showed the greatest stability during vacuum drying at 70 °C.

Utilising Spent Tea Leaves Powder as Functional Ingredient to Enhance the Quality of Non-Gluten Shortbread Cookies

“…In the present study, the tannin contents of the cookie samples formulated in this study were considerably low. This could be attributed to the thermal degradation of tannin during the baking process [ 48 ]. Based on the results, the tannin content of all the cookies was within the acceptable range of its antinutritional effect on human consumption.…”

Influence of the Heating Agent Temperature on the Kinetics of the Convective Drying Process and the Content of Bioactive Compounds in Apple Pomace

“…Convective drying studies on grape pomace demonstrated that drying the pomace at 35°C for 12 hours, 50°C for 5 hours, and 70°C for 3 hours reduced the initial moisture content of the skin from 63.58 ± 3.29% to 6.99 ± 0.83%, and of the pomace from 49.36 ± 3.45% to 8.32 ± 0.96%. In these parameters, a similar dependence between increasing thermal agent temperature and reduced drying time was observed [23]. Literary sources suggest that modern drying conservation technologies for food products reduce energy consumption by up to 80% and improve drying efficiency by up to 26.5% in terms of reduced drying time [24].…”

The Bioactive Substances in Spent Black Tea and Arabic Coffee Could Improve the Nutritional Value and Extend the Shelf Life of Sponge Cake after Fortification

“…The tannin concentrations of the cookie samples produced by the addition of spent coffee and tea powders were noticeably low in the current study. The heat breakdown of tannin during baking may be to blame for this . According to the findings, all of the cookies’ tannin concentration was within the allowed level for their antinutritional effect when consumed by humans …”

“…The heat breakdown of tannin during baking may be to blame for this. 62 According to the findings, all of the cookies' tannin concentration was within the allowed level for their antinutritional effect when consumed by humans. 60 Spent coffee powder had a total phenolic content that was 23.5 times higher than wheat flour.…”
