Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 116, P. 107306 - 107306

Published: March 12, 2025

To maximize the drying efficiency and physicochemical quality of cherry fruits while minimizing energy consumption, this study investigated effects novel edible coatings (sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) sodium alginate (SA)) pretreatment combined with multi-frequency ultrasonic vacuum far infrared radiation-radio frequency (MUSVFIR-RFV) segmented on performance properties cherries. Results demonstrated that MUSVFIR-RFV coating reduced time by 11.11 ∼ 25.93 % compared to single drying. At a moisture conversion point 50 %, process achieved optimal efficiency. Remarkably, ultrasound outperformed single-frequency in terms transfer intensity uniformity. Physicochemical analysis revealed combination CMC-Na or SA significantly improved retention soluble solids, individual sugar, natural bioactive compounds, TPC, TFC, antioxidant activities (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP). Texture sensory showed hardness adhesiveness coated cherries were reduced, elasticity, chewiness, cohesiveness enhanced. Cherries subjected (CMC-Na)-(MUSVFIR-RFV) treatment higher scores texture, crispness, color, sweet taste, appearance, aroma, lower bitterness off-odor, leading an overall acceptance score 9.2, which was than control. Hierarchical clustering PCA further validated integration effectively dried The findings provide scientific evidence for development efficient technologies cherry, substantiating potential advantages combining enhancing efficiency, quality, attributes

Edible biopolymers with functional additives coatings for postharvest quality preservation in horticultural crops: a review

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9

Published: April 28, 2025

Global concerns over the depletion of fossil fuels and their impact on environment have resulted in development bio-based materials with more sustainable approaches. The need for a economy reduction fuel dependency is driving research this field. Biopolymers are chain-like molecular structures made covalently attached monomeric units derived from renewable resources, microorganisms, or synthetic biodegradable sources. Although biopolymer-based coatings promising applications postharvest preservation, they often limited by inherent properties when applied alone to fresh produce. This review focuses assessing efficacy potential edible specific emphasis role functional additives enhancing performance. Furthermore, it explores how natural like essential oils, antioxidants, antimicrobials interact biopolymer matrixes synergy, evaluating enhanced extending shelf life produce as well environmental biodegradability. By analyzing interactions, release mechanisms, comparative effectiveness additives, future active ingredients creating multifunctional preservation systems that meet food safety sustainability requirements presented.

Improving thermal stability of starches native cross-linked with citric acid as a compatibilizer for thermoplastic starch/polylactic acid blends

Polymer Bulletin, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 81(14), P. 13253 - 13274

Published: June 6, 2024

Abstract This study aimed to enhance compatibility and thermal stability between thermoplastic starch (TPS) polylactic acid (PLA) by incorporating citric acid-grafted (CA–Starch) at different concentrations (1 5%) with varying degrees of substitution for derived from sweet potatoes yams (DY). Blends were produced using a constant TPS/PLA weight ratio 60:40, both without compatibilizer. The blending process was carried out torque rheometer under two distinct conditions. results exhibited reduced particle sizes in TPS 60 /PLA 40 /CA–Starch blends, as evidenced SEM images displaying improved interaction smoother surfaces. Significantly, one the properties that experienced substantial improvement PLA, indicated phase segregation within blends. manifested enhanced surface morphology, smaller sizes, greater homogeneity Additionally, an enhancement properties, particularly stability, observed higher CA content. underscores incorporation CA–Starch not only enhances but also improves offering potential development biocompatible materials superior performance.
