Cambios de volumen, área superficial y factor de forma de Heywood durante la deshidratación de cerezas (Prunus avium)

Antonio De Michelis; Beatriz Noemi Pirone; Mabel Beatriz Vullioud; Mónica Roselva Ochoa; Alicia Graciela Kesseler; Carlos Alberto Márquez

En este trabajo, se evaluaron experimentalmente los cambios de volumen, area superficial y factores de forma durante la deshidratacion de cerezas enteras. En base a los resultados obtenidos, se propusieron modelos muy simples para la evaluacion matematica de dichos cambios para su uso en simulacion de lechos profundos de particulas. Los cambios de volumen se pudieron representar con una ecuacion lineal y los de area superficial con un polinomio de tercer orden, en ambos casos como una funcion de la humedad adimensional del producto. Con respecto a la evaluacion de los factores de forma, se encontro que las particulas, cuanto mas se deshidratan, mas tienden a la forma esferica, lo cual es un hecho auspicioso, ya que no solo el producto posee un aspecto visual agradable, sino que se habilita la utilizacion de la forma esferica para los efectos de adoptar una dimension caracteristica para la evaluacion de cineticas de deshidratacion en monocapa y/o en lechos de particulas.

Application of transfer functions to the thermal processing of particulate foods enclosed in liquid medium

Carlos Alberto Márquez; Antonio De Michelis; Viviana O. Salvadori; Rodolfo H. Mascheroni

Abstract The application of transfer functions in foods for heat and mass transfer problems with variable boundary conditions has been the subject of several studies over the last decade. In this work, the heat processing of products immersed in a low-viscosity medium (where convection is the main heat transfer mechanism), is analyzed. The thermal histories are related to kinetic parameters to evaluate the target value of different processing conditions to inactive quality-degrading enzymes.

Calculation of the Effective Diffusion Coefficients in Drying of Chemical and Mechanical Pretreated Rosehip Fruits (Rosa eglanteria L.) with Selected Mass Transfer Models

Alejandra Mabellini; Elizabeth Ohaco; Carlos Alberto Márquez; Jorge Enrique Lozano; Antonio De Michelis

Abstract The aim of this work was to select models of mass transfer to estimate effective mass diffusion coefficients during the dehydration of Rosa eglanteria fruits with air at 70°C. Fruits were pretreated chemically and mechanically (dipping it in NaOH and ethyl oleate solutions and cutting or perforating the fruit cuticle). Selected models were those of Becker and Fick’s second law, considering fruit shrinkage during drying. Both models satisfactorily predict the fruit drying, and the different pretreatments, to total or partially remove this waxen cuticle, noticeably improved water diffusion, reducing the time of processing from 28% (NaOH) to 52% (oleate and mechanical pretreatments). Mechanical pretreatments were the more effective, because oleate presents quality problems.

Propiedades de lechos fijos durante la deshidratación convectiva de cerezas, guindas y rosa mosqueta: cambios de volumen y porosidad

Carlos Alberto Márquez; Antonio De Michelis

En este trabajo, se determinaron experimentalmente y modelaron los cambios de volumen y porosidad de lecho fijo durante la deshidratacion de cerezas, guindas y frutos de la rosa mosqueta. Se utilizaron un equipo de secado experimental y frutas frescas. La altura de lecho variaba entre 0,04 y 0,12 m, la temperatura del aire entre 50 y 70 oC, su velocidad entre 1 y 4 m/s, y su humedad relativa fue de 5 y 50%. Al inicio y durante la deshidratacion se media la altura del lecho como promedio de 8 escalas graduadas colocadas simetricamente en la camara de secado y el peso de las muestras correspondientes. Con los valores obtenidos se calculaba el volumen de lecho y su porosidad en funcion del contenido de agua de la muestra. Mediante regresion, se obtuvieron correlaciones para estimar el volumen y la porosidad de lecho. Los errores porcentuales obtenidos fueron: para cambios en el volumen de lecho, entre -16,4 y 23,3 para cerezas y guindas, y entre -4,9 y 4,4 para frutos de la rosa mosqueta; y para los cambios de porosidad, entre -15,2 y 21,1 para cerezas y guindas, y entre -2,6 y 6,1 para frutos de la rosa mosqueta.

Parameters affecting pre-cooling, freezing, storage and transport of red raspberry fruits, individually frozen in discontinuous tunnels. Comparison among five varieties of Rubus sp.

Antonio De Michelis

Red raspberry is a fruit of very low mechanical resistance even in the frozen state. Due to this a series of problems in harvesting, pre-cooling, freezing, frozen storage and refrigerated transport take place. Previously developed methodology is applied in this work according to the above-mentioned characteristic for five varieties of red raspberry fruit. Practical parameters, such as pre-cooling times, weight loss, individually frozen fruit%, critical temperatures of storage and refrigerated transport, etc., are recommended for their handling and for improving the individually frozen fruit yields, so that the final quality of the product is not affected by non appropriate handling.
