Summary: This paper reports on the implementation of heat flux measurements that allow noninvasive real-time determination of the endpoint of the primary drying stage, which is crucial for optimizing the overall drying time. Quantitative analysis of the drying kinetics of five fruits reveals a significant correlation between temperature and heat flux distributions. The use of real-time heat flux measurements is cost-effective and can reduce the lyophilization cycle time and overall energy consumption.

Summary: A prediction method of drying behaviors for five types of additives droplets based on Reaction Engineering Approach and single droplet drying was introduced. The experimental measurement results showed the range of density, viscosity, and surface tension of these droplets, as well as the volume change rate and drying rate. The theoretical results indicated the range of Reynolds number and apparent activation energy (Delta E-v), and the linear relation between heating temperature and Delta E-v.

Summary: The growing interest in a healthy lifestyle has led to a spread of perspectives on sustainable natural resource management. This review focuses on the use of cacti in the food industry, highlighting its sustainability, nutrition, and functionality. The study provides an overview of the potential benefits of cacti for promoting sustainable cultivation of underutilized species and their commercial exploitation. Commercial cactus production offers advantages over other agricultural practices by minimizing ecosystem damage and promoting a shift towards sustainable agriculture. The application of cactus ingredients in food development is wide-ranging, including producing breads, jellies, gums, dyes, probiotics, and postbiotic and paraprobiotic foods. However, further research is needed to study processing technologies and probiotic interactions with raw materials to determine product functionality and bioactivity.

Summary: Microwave and ohmic heating are popular choices for aseptic processing due to their rapid heating capabilities and better product quality. This study aims to find an alternative approach to simulate processing conditions by modeling and validating the process using surrogate particles and microorganisms. A mathematical model was used to simulate heat transfer in fluid and solid particles. The process was validated using simulated particles and surrogate microorganisms, with magnetic implants in spherical particles to measure residence time distribution. The microwave aseptic system was successfully validated for producing shelf-stable particulate food products.
