Drying of hemicellulose-coated apricots was compared to sulfuring and chitosan coating. Air velocity, temperature and hemicellulose concentration were optimized using the Box-Behnken response surface methodology against total color change (Delta E-star), yellowness (Delta b(star)) and final moisture content. Drying kinetics were evaluated by Newton, Page and Logarithmic models. Diffusion coefficient, activation energy and rehydration rate were calculated. The optimal drying conditions were found as 1 m/s of air velocity, 80C of air temperature and 3% (w/v) hemicellulose coating, which gave values of 15.2, -8.3 and 26% for Delta E-star, Delta b(star) and final moisture, respectively. The hemicellulose-coated apricots indicated better color values than the uncoated and chitosan-coated samples, while sulfuring still attained the best color values. Drying kinetics were best described by the Logarithmic model at 60 and 70C and Page model at 80C for 2% hemicellulose coating. Effective diffusion coefficients ranged from 2.499 to 5.742 x 10(-9) and the activation energy was calculated as 33.78 kJ/mol. The hemicellulose-coated apricots had slightly higher rehydration rate than the uncoated and sulfured samples. In conclusion, hemicellulose coating showed a promise for use in fruit drying.

Optimization of microwave- infrared roasting of hazelnut
Uysal, Nalan; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-01)
In this study, the possibility of using microwave-infrared combination oven for roasting of hazelnut was investigated. in addition, regression models for the responses: L* value, a* value, textural properties and moisture content of hazelnuts were obtained and the optimum roasting conditions were determined by using response surface methodology. Conventionally roasted hazelnut at 150 degrees C for 20 min was considered for comparison. For hazelnuts, 2.5 min roasting time at 90% microwave power, 60% upper ha...
Effects of an edible coating, fungicide and cold storage on microbial spoilage of cherries
Yaman, O; Bayındırlı, Levent A. (2001-01-01)
The effects of an edible coating, i.e., Semperfresh (TM), fungicide, i.e., Imazalil, and cold storage on microbial spoilage of cherries were studied. Two group of cherries (Prunus avium) were coated just after harvest with 1% and 2% Semperfresh (TM) fruit coating. Two other group of cherries were treated with 75 ppm and 150 ppm concentrations of Imazalil and then coated with a 1% concentration of Semperfresh (TM) fruit coating. Half of the cherries from each of the above groups was stored at ambient tempera...
Optimization of Baking of Rice Cakes in Infrared-Microwave Combination Oven by Response Surface Methodology
Turabi, Elif; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2008-03-01)
In this study, response surface methodology was used to design gluten-free cakes made from rice flour to be baked in infrared-microwave combination oven. Two types of cake formulations containing different types of gums were used in the experiments, which were xanthan gum and xanthan-guar gum blend. The independent variables were emulsifier content (0, 3, and 6% of flour weight), upper halogen lamp power (50, 60, and 70%), and baking time (7, 7.5, and 8 min). Specific volume, surface color change, firmness ...
Optimization of roasting conditions of hazelnuts in microwave assisted ovens
Uysal, Nalan; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2009)
The main objective of this study was to optimize the roasting conditions of hazelnuts in microwave-infrared and microwave-convective heating combination ovens by using response surface methodology. It was also aimed to construct regression models for the prediction of quality parameters of hazelnuts as a function of processing conditions. The independent variables were microwave power (10, 30, 50, 70 and 90%), upper-lower infrared power (10, 30, 50, 70 and 90%) and roasting time (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 min) for m...
Optimization of dilute sulfuric acid, aqueous ammonia, and steam explosion as the pretreatments steps for distillers' dried grains with solubles as a potential fermentation feedstock
Iram, Attia; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Demirci, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01)
Distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is the by-product of bioethanol production from starch-rich grains through dry-mill fermentation. In this study, dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis, aqueous ammonia, and steam explosion as the pre-treatment methods were optimized. The central composite response surface methodology (RSM) design was used for optimization of dilute acid pretreatment, aqueous ammonia pretreatment. The steam explosion trials were evaluated. The results show that the dilute acid pretreat...
