Non-thermal processing in food industry: Modelimg, food safety and consumer acceptance

2017-10-04
Today’s mainstream food preservation methods mostly depend on two dimensions- namely time and temperature and have several drawbacks. The use of heat (pasteurization, sterilization and blanching, etc.) can destroy nutrients such as thermally labile vitamins and also components responsible from product flavor and taste. It can also produce some undesirable compounds originated from Maillard reaction and caramelization. All of these changes result in products that are far from being original. This contradicts with modern consumers’ desire for the fresh and natural food products bringing the need for alternative non-thermal processing methods. Among these High Hydrostatic Pressure (HHP), has been recently branded-patented as “Pascalization”. Its main difference from conventional thermal processing is the addition of the third variable-pressure- in addition to lower heat / shorter time combination with respect to traditional thermal treatment making it a 3-D process. The process is fast, safe, effective and globally producing food-edible products without any additives or preservatives ranging from meat-dairy-seafood-deli to fruit/vegetable juices and even pet food. HHP technology has been also quoted as being one of the best innovations in food processing in the last fifty years. The pros and cons of this technology with recent applications in modeling with food safety requirements and consumer acceptance will be summarized together with the current facts and myths.

Multiscale self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature but its deliberate use to synthesize multifunctional three-dimensional materials remains rare, partly due to the notoriously difficult problem of controlling topology from atomic to macroscopic scales to obtain intended material properties. Here, we propose a simple, modular, noncolloidal methodology that is based on exploiting universality in stochastic growth dynamics and driving the growth process under far-from-equilibrium conditions toward a preplanned s...
'Good propagation' and duality invariance constraints on scalar, gauge vector and gravity actions
Deser, Stanley; McCarthy, Jim; Sarıoğlu, Bahtiyar Özgür (IOP Publishing, 1999-03-01)
We present some consequences of non-anomalous propagation requirements on various massless fields. Among the models of nonlinear electrodynamics we show that only the Maxwell and Born-Infeld models also obey duality invariance. Separately we show that, for actions depending only on the F-mu nu(2) invariant, the permitted models have L similar to root 1 + F-2. We also characterize acceptable vector-scalar systems. Finally, we find that wide classes of gravity models share with the Einstein model the null nat...
Singularly perturbed diffusion-advection-reaction processes on extremely large three-dimensional curvilinear networks with a periodic microstructure -- efficient solution strategies based on homogenization theory
Kropat, Erik; Meyer-Nieberg, Silja; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2016-8)
Boundary value problems on large periodic networks arise in many applications such as soil mechanics in geophysics or the analysis of photonic crystals in nanotechnology. As a model example, singularly perturbed elliptic differential equations of second order are addressed. Typically, the length of periodicity is very small compared to the size of the covered region. The overall complexity of the networks raises serious problems on the computational side. The high density of the graph, the huge number of ed...
Transparent Thin Film Heaters Based on Copper Nanowire Networks
Tigan, Doğancan; Polat Genlik, Sevim; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (2018-10-25)
One-dimensional nanostructures open up new avenues in materials science since materials' properties do change with the dimension and size. Silver is a highly appealing material both in nanosize and bulk form. This is because of its high electrical conductivity. Silver nanowires are widely used in electronic and optoelectronic applications. On the other hand, although copper is almost equally conductive and cheaper than silver, copper nanowires are relatively new to these application areas. In this study, tr...
Forecasting magnetopause crossing locations by using Neural Networks
Tulunay, Yurdanur; Sibeck, DG; Senalp, ET; Tulunay, E (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-01)
Given the highly complex and nonlinear nature of Near Earth Space processes, mathematical modeling of these processes is usually difficult or impossible. In such cases, modeling methods involving Artificial Intelligence may be employed. We demonstrate that data driven models, such as the Neural Network based approach, shows promise in its ability to forecast or predict the behavior of these processes. In this paper, modeling studies for forecasting magnetopause crossing locations are summarized and a Neural...
