In this study, films were successfully developed with gelatin (GT, 30 mg/mL) and serum plasma (SM) at different proportions (0 %, 3 %, 6 %, 9 %, and 12 % in w/w). The resulting GT-SM films' physical and chemical properties, morphological traits, molecular features, and bioactivities were characterized. The thermal stability, tensile strength, and,...

Drying methods often suffer from appropriate drying process modeling, low heating efficiency, and high‐energy consumption. However, graphene may provide significant improvements during the drying process due to its ability to save energy and convert electro‐thermal energy effectively. In this study, random forest (RF), surface vector machine (SVM),...

The gFIR plates did not affect the morphology or internal structure at 40 • C. • Thermal gFIR drying observed a greater relative crystallinity of 36.39%. • The gFIR drying showed the total starch content decreased by 8.83%. • A decrease in PT and gelatinization enthalpy was observed in gFIR drying. • The XRD showed the gFIR drying experiment had a...

Microbial contamination is a crucial problem that is difficult to solve for the meat industry. Therefore, this study explored the antibacterial efficacy of phenyllactic acid (PLA) against Pseudomonas lundensis (PL) and Brochothrix thermosphacta (BT) solely and in combination (PL + BT). It also provided insights into its synergistic preservation eff...

Proximate, functional, pasting and sensory properties of sweet potato flour blended with cassava flour were evaluated. The results of the functional properties show bulk density to be (0.55 capacity (3.47-3.97g/g) and swelling index (9.37 viscosity Rvu), final viscosity (198.67 result from sensory evaluation also shows that appearance (7.0 (7.25-8....

Effect of drying temperature on the Effect of drying temperature on the proximate, vitamins and mineral composition of tigernut (Cyperus esculentus) was investigated. The raw tiger nuts (yellow varieties) were dried at different temperatures (70, 75, 80 and 85)oC using an electric oven until constant weight was achieved. The samples were mill...
