Foam mat drying of Tommy Atkins mangoes: Effects of air temperature and concentrations of soy lecithin and carboxymethylcellulose on phenolic composition, mangiferin, and antioxidant capacity
Food Chemistry, binding 221, 2017, pp. 258-266
In this study, foam mat drying was applied to Tommy Atkins mangoes. Using a multifactorial design, the effect of soy lecithin (L) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as foam stabilizers (0–1.50 g/100 g) as well as temperature (T) (53–87 °C) on the phenol content and the antioxidant capacity of the mango was evaluated. Mango pulp contains antioxidants like mangiferin, which can be used in foods to improve their functional properties. Our results showed that L and T had negative effects (p<0.05) on phenolic content and antioxidant capacity, whereas CMC had a positive effect (p<0.05). Increasing the total amount of phenolic compounds in dried mango contributed to a higher antioxidant capacity after the drying process. This study concluded that a dry T of 80°C and a concentration of 0.30 g/100 g CMC and L are optimal for increased retention of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity.

Evaluation of the physicochemical properties of foam mat dried tart cherry powder
LWT – Food Science and Technology, Vol. 68, 2016, pp. 105-110
In this study, the effects of egg white (1, 2, and 3 g/100 g) and methylcellulose (1, 1.5, and 2 g/100 g) on the density and drainage volume of tart cherry foam were examined. Then, frothed tart cherry juice was spread on aluminum trays (3.0±0.02 mm thickness) and placed in a drying chamber with an air temperature of 50, 65 and 80°C. Physicochemical properties such as solubility, total anthocyanin (TAC), pH, browning index, acidity and drying time of the foam mat dried tart cherry powder were evaluated. With increasing methylcellulose concentration, drain volume, foam density, TAC, browning index, and drying time decreased; However, the solubility and pH of the samples showed an increasing trend. Almost all chemical properties (except pH) showed a decreasing trend with increasing protein content. In addition, it was observed that tart cherry powder exhibited the maximum solubility, TAC and pH at the drying temperature of 65 °C. Browning index and drying time decreased with increasing drying temperature. Only the effect of drying temperature on acidity was significant in that total acidity increased with increasing drying temperature.

BRS Violeta (BRS Rúbea×IAC 1398-21) Grape Juice Powder made by Foam Mat Drying. Part I: Influence of drying temperature on phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity
Food Chemistry, Volume 298, 2019, Item 124971
The BRS Violeta grape has flesh and skin with a high content of phenolic compounds (PCs) and an intense purple color. It was used as a raw material for the production of juice and dehydrated products using foam mat drying at 60, 70 and 80 °C and freeze drying (control). HLPC-DAD-ESI-MSNmade it possible to assess the quantitative and qualitative changes in the main PCs (anthocyanins, flavonols and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives (HCAD)) present in the grapes during processing. The use of the steam extraction method to obtain grape juice allowed greater extraction of flavonols and especially derivatives of hydroxycinnamic acid compared to anthocyanins. Drying at 70°C was best for preserving the PCs while reducing processing time. The powdered products showed significant levels of total PC (3-5 mg/g) and antioxidant activity (32-79 (DPPH) or 17-27 (FRAP) mg/g).

Encapsulation of carotenoid extracts from Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb) by emulsification (O/W) and foam mat drying
Pulvertechnik, binding 339, 2018, pp. 939-946
Few (caryocar brasilienseCamb.) is a typical fruit of the Brazilian Cerrado and is often used by the local population. The aim of this work was to encapsulate carotenoid extracts from Pequi by emulsification (O/W) and to dry them at different temperatures via the foam mat method. First, the carotenoid extract was dispersed in an aqueous phase (water:maltodextrin and various concentrations of the emulsifier Emusstab®) to form an O/W emulsion and then foam was formed by air entrainment. The effect of the following Emusstab® emulsifier concentrations (2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, 10.0%) on the density, expansion, stability and morphology of the foams formed was checked and 5% emulsifier was selected for use selected. A forced air circulation tray dryer was used to dry the foam formulation at temperatures of 60°C, 70°C, 80°C and 90°C and the average drying times were 4.2 hours, 3.5 hours, 2.8 hours. or 1.9 hours. The encapsulated carotenoid powders were evaluated for total carotenoid content, water content, water activity, solubility, L* and a*, b*, C*, BI and morphological properties. Among the temperatures used, a temperature of 60 °C allowed obtaining powder extracts with the highest content of encapsulated carotenoids and better chromatic properties.

Influence of hydrocolloid addition and microwave-assisted freeze-drying on the properties of foamed raspberry puree
Innovative Food Science & Emerging Technologies, Band 56, 2019, Artikel 102183
Foamed fruit purees can be dried and eaten as a snack. This study compares the properties of foamed raspberry puree dried by microwave-assisted freeze drying and conventional freeze drying. The influence of potato protein (PP) (as a foaming agent), maltodextrin (MD) (as a foam stabilizer) and microwave power on the properties of the product was examined. The puree contained 18-20% higher levels of anthocyanins and ascorbic acid than unprocessed raspberries. The retention of ascorbic acid and anthocyanins increased with increasing concentrations of MD and PP. Both drying methods resulted in retention of 66-81% of the ascorbic acid and 53-84% of the total anthocyanins. The higher drying rates achieved at higher maltodextrin concentrations resulted in higher ascorbic acid and anthocyanin retention. The overall color difference was significantly higher for the 30% MD foam (w/w) ved 2,0 Wg−1, which is responsible for the formation of hot spots. The protein concentration had no appreciable effect on the color of the product. Increasing the maltodextrin concentration resulted in a harder foam structure, while increasing the protein concentration had the opposite effect. Overall, microwave-assisted freeze-drying has proven to be a promising alternative to conventional freeze-drying, as it enables a more efficient drying process with comparable product quality.

Influence of particle properties and foaming parameters on the resulting foam quality and stability
LWT, Bindung 167, 2022, Article 113859
In this study, the effects of ten different food-grade particles on the bubble quality and stabilization of particle-stabilized food-grade foams during batch and continuous foaming with and without polyglycerol ester (PGE) as an emulsifier were investigated. Particle properties such as contact angle and porosity as well as varying process parameters such as shear rate and gas content were examined for their influence on the bubble size x50,0, width of bubble size distribution and drainage.
The smallest bubble size x50,0in foam without PGE could be achieved with banana powder (88 μm), calcium carbonate (89 μm) and microcrystalline cellulose particles (79 μm). For comparison: The smallest size in the reference without particles was 105 μm. Combining the use of particles with PGE has reduced bubble size by up to 57% and dewatering by up to 100%. Increase in travel speed from 4922 s−1(35μm) bis 9844 s−1(14 μm) led to smaller average bubble sizes and significantly narrower bubble size distributions, whereas no clear correlation between the gas fraction and the resulting bubble size was found.
This study shows that the use of suitable particles in combination with an optimized foaming process promotes both bubble quality and foam stability.
