Optimization of processing conditions for osmotic dehydration of orange segments

Abstract

The orange is 5 th most important tropical fruit in the world production. The juice or pulp is extracted from the oranges and preserved for further use. Whereas for fruits and vegetables, osmotic dehydration is considered as one of best method for preservation. Hence in the present research focus on optimize process conditions for osmotic dehydration of orange segments. Fresh orange fruits were peeled and segments were separated. These segments were osmotically dehydrated at different sugar syrup concentrations 40 to 70 0 B, time 60 -300 min. and fruit solution ratio 1:3 to 1:5. The observation recorded with respect to water loss (WL), solid gain (SG) and weight reduction (WR). The results showed 50 0 B sugar syrup concentration, 300 min. time, and 1:4 fruit to solution ratio were optimum conditions to obtain water loss of 44.49 %, solid gain 6.91 % and weight reduction of 51.40%. Osmotic dehydration can be one of the alternative methods for the orange preservation than the traditional methods of food preservations. Also, it will be helpful to preserve orange segments for the longer time, which will be beneficial to small scale entrepreneur to improve their socio-economical status.

Obtención de nanoemulsiones de Cúrcuma longa l. y su aplicación en bebida acuosa

“…Se obtuvo un contenido de curcumina de 0,062 mg/mg oleorresina, lo cual es equivalente a 1,259 % de curcumina (Cuadro 1). Patil et al (2018) reportaron contenido de curcumina obtenida por soxlhet con etanol a partir de tres variedades de cúrcuma salem, Krishna, Rajapuri con valores de 3,8, 2,5 y 4,2 % respectivamente.…”

“…La caracterización de ORC obtenida se realizó con la determinación de rendimiento, fenoles totales (TPC) (Singleton et al, 1999), ensayo ABTS (ácido 2'2-azino-bis-[3-etilbenzotiazol-6-sulfónico]) (Machado et al, 2015) y contenido de curcumina (%C) (Syed et al, 2015). El porcentaje de curcumina se obtuvo mediante la ecuación 1 reportada por Patil et al (2018).…”

Extraction Process Optimization of Curcumin from Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb. with Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Using Ethanol as a Cosolvent

“…There are different methods for the extraction of these compounds from raw materials. Various extraction methods of curcumin have been studied over the last year. − Organic solvent extraction is the most widely used. The drawback of the organic solvent extraction method is the usage of organic, high-cost solvents, difficult solvent recovery, low selectivity, high impurity, and high environmental impact. − Therefore, the development of better extraction methods to improve the process, product, and environmental sustainability becomes needed.…”

Extraction of Curcumin from Turmeric Powder Through Complexation

“…In 2000, a method of treating the dried rhizomes with dichloromethane was reported in which ground rhizome was stirred in dichloromethane and heated at reflux for hours 4 . The microwave 5,6,7 and ultrasound 8 assisted extraction of curcumin has gained much attention during the onset of 21 st century. Later, Bagchi 9 has reported the supercritical fluid extraction of curcumin from turmeric using different organic solvents.…”
