The drying foam mat is one of the alternative techniques to drying of liquid foods. The objective of the research was to study the drying kinetics for foam mat sugarcane juice and characterize chemical-physical dehydrated product. For foaming was used the combination of additives Emustab®, Super Liga Neutra® and Calcium Carbonate. The drying kinetics was studied at three different temperatures: 50, 60 and 70 °C with curves fitted by non-linear regression to empirical models Page Henderson and Newton. All models showed a good fit to drying, with determination coefficients above 0.99. The dehydrated product had an average moisture of 3.23% and average water activity of 0.360. The solubility of the product in flake form was 100% and the solubility of the product in powder form was 90.53%. So, it was technically feasible the dehydrated cane juice production to foam mat drying technique with microbiological and chemical stability and the possibility of rehydrated in 100%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
