Stability of carotenoids in freeze dried papaya (Carica papaya)

Abstract: Effect of water activity (a,) and storage temperature on the degradation of carotenoids in relation to keeping quality of freeze dried papaya is reported. Carotenoids were found to be most stable at 0.33 a,, and both below and above this level their rate of destruction was higher. Above 0.40 a, browning limited the storage life. Freeze dried papaya has maximum stability between 0.22-0.33 a,.

“…The loss of the carotenoids increased at elevated rather than lower temperatures. Similar trend was found by Arya et al [23] who observed 32.7 % loss in freeze dried papaya pigment at room temperature and 42.0 % at 37 °C after 45 days. Delia and Amaya [24] also noted a 53 % loss of carotenoid pigments in freeze dried squashes at room temperature after 3 months.…”

“…Likewise, some studies reported the importance of stability of carotenoids in freeze-dried papaya. It was reported that 32.78% of papaya pigment was lost at room temperature and 42.0% at 37°C after 45 days period (Arya et al 1983).…”

“…However, freeze drying of the sample reduced the loss to 50%. Arya et al 8 observed only a 32% colour loss in papaya at room temperature. These studies indicated that carotenoid behaviour during storage is as important as its stability during processing.…”
