“…Pectic and other carbohydrate polymers can be largely hydrolyzed by heat resulting in smaller molecules. High temperature (>170 C) has been reported to cause thermal degradation of the mucilage molecular structure and a low viscosity (León Martínez, Rodríguez Ramírez, Medina Torres, Méndez Lagunas, & Bernad Bernad, 2011). The effect of thermal degradation on viscosity was not observed for samples prepared at high spray speed (20,000 rpm): E2 (T i ¼ 130 C) and E4 (T i ¼ 170 C).…”

“…This means that at a higher fragmentation rate, the greater the contact surface between the drop and hot air, the thinner and more porous particles are obtained by the incorporation of air with lower moisture content. A similar effect was studied on Ofi mucilage (León Martínez et al, 2011) and spray drying of milk (Walton & Mumford, 1999), where higher spray pressure decreases particle size. Hill and Carrington (2006) suggest that viscosity increases due to the presence of very small particles, causing more particleeparticle interactions and increasing the flow resistance, especially at higher shear rates, of course this is also affected by particle concentration and has to be considered carefully.…”

In this study, a traditional Chinese dish, a ready-to-eat sweet and sour carp was developed. The effects of sterilization temperature (110, 115, 121, and 130 • C) on the selected properties, including heat penetration characteristics, as well as rheological, instrumental color, texture, and sensory attributes, were investigated at the same lethality value (F 0 ) of 4.5 min. The results showed that the heat penetration parameters of cooking value (C-value) and the ratio of C-value to F 0 value (C-value/F 0 ) exhibited an inverse relationship with processing temperature. The color and rheological properties of the sauce and the texture of the fish sterilized at 130 • C were better preserved compared to those sterilized at other temperatures. The sensory attributes of the product sterilized at 130 • C scored highest among the final products sterilized at the four temperatures. This study suggested that short-time sterilization at a high temperature can minimize the negative thermal impact on sweet and sour carp product, which would be feasible in the practical production.

“…29 Fresh mucilage is susceptible to microbial attack due to its high water activity and composition, and reducing its shelf life to a few days at room temperature. 48 In addition, the flocs tend to loose stability and strength with time because of their biodegradability. 49 Materials with reduced moisture content will resist germination under favourable conditions, thus prolonging the storage life.…”

Flocculation is extensively employed for clarification through sedimentation. Application of ecofriendly plant-based bio-flocculants in wastewater treatment has attracted significant attention lately with high removal capability in terms of solids, turbidity, colour and dye. However, moderate flocculating property and short shelf life restrict their development. In order to enhance the flocculating ability, natural polysaccharides derived from plants are chemically modified by inclusion of synthetic, non-biodegradable monomers (e.g. acrylamide) onto their backbone to produce grafted bio-flocculants. This review is aimed to provide an overview of the development and flocculating efficiencies of plant-based bio-flocculants and grafted bio-flocculants for the first time. Furthermore, the processing methods, flocculation mechanism and the current challenges are discussed. All the reported studies about plant-derived bio-flocculants are conducted under lab-scale conditions in wastewater treatment. Hence, the possibility to apply natural bio-flocculants in food and beverage, mineral, paper and pulp, oleo-chemical and biodiesel industries is discussed and evaluated.
