摘要:

【目的】 研究热风-真空冷冻联合干燥对脆性龙眼果干品质及益生活性的影响,为高品质龙眼果干工业化节能干燥模式提供理论依据。【方法】 以热风干燥、真空冷冻干燥龙眼果干为对照,比较分析热风-真空冷冻联合干燥对脆性龙眼果干水分含量、水分活度、皱缩率、复水比等理化特性和总糖、多糖等营养品质的影响。同时采用GC-MS测定风味物质变化,电量表测定能源消耗量。并选用植物乳杆菌和嗜酸乳杆菌发酵龙眼果干,比较发酵过程中活菌数、总糖、还原糖以及短链脂肪酸的变化,评价热风-真空冷冻联合干燥对龙眼体外益生活性的影响。【结果】 热风-真空冷冻联合干燥龙眼果干的水分含量、水分活度和皱缩率显著低于热风干燥,而复水比显著高于热风干燥。在总糖、多糖含量以及挥发性风味物质种类和总量上,热风-真空冷冻联合干燥低于真空冷冻干燥而高于热风干燥。在能源消耗上,热风-真空冷冻联合干燥比真空冷冻干燥节约干燥时间12.16%,节约单位能耗25.40%。在益生活性方面,植物乳杆菌和嗜酸乳杆菌均能通过发酵龙眼干增加活菌数量,利用龙眼干中的总糖产生短链脂肪酸,降低发酵液pH,且益生效果受干燥方式和菌株种类的影响较大。当植物乳杆菌发酵热风-真空冷冻干燥的龙眼果干48 h后,活菌数生长最多可达12.40 lg cfu/mL,高于真空冷冻干燥、热风干燥和新鲜龙眼。嗜酸乳杆菌发酵48 h后,热风-真空冷冻联合干燥活菌数达11.84 lg cfu/mL,与真空冷冻干燥接近,低于热风干燥,但高于新鲜龙眼。【结论】 热风-真空冷冻联合干燥结合了热风干燥和真空冷冻干燥两种干燥方式的特点,可以显著缩短干燥时间,节约能耗,提高干燥效率和果干品质。

Abstract:

【Objective】 The effects of hot air-vacuum freeze combined with drying (HA-VFCD) on the physical properties and prebiotic activities of high-quality brittle dried longan were investigated in the present study, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the optimal industrialized energy-saving drying mode. 【Method】 In present study, the effect of HA-VFCD on the physicochemical and nutritional characteristics, such as moisture content, water activity, shrinkage rate, water rehydration ratio, total sugar and polysaccharide contents of brittle dried longan, were compared with that of individual hot air drying (HAD) and vacuum freeze drying (VFD) longan samples. The flavor substance changes and the energy consumption were also evaluated by GC-MS and ammeter, respectively. Furthermore, the dried longan was fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus to investigate the content changes of viable bacteria, total sugar, reducing sugar and short-chain fatty acid, thus evaluating the effect of HA-VFCD on the in vitro prebiotic activities of longan. 【Result】 Longan dried by HA-VFCD showed significantly lower moisture content, water activity and shrinkage rate, but higher rehydration ratio, compared with the HAD counterparts. The content of total sugar, polysaccharide, and the types and amounts of volatile flavor of longan dried by HA-VFCD were lower than those of VFD samples, but higher than that of HAD counterparts. In addition, HA-VFCD process could save 12.16% of drying time and 25.40% of unit energy consumption, compared with VFD process. Both Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus could increase the number of viable bacteria through fermentation of dried longan, which were used the total sugar in dried longan to produce short-chain fatty acids and to reduce the pH of fermentation broth. And the prebiotic activities of dried longan after fermentation were remarkably affected by the drying methods and the strain types of bacteria. After fermentation by the Lactobacillus plantarumfor 48 hours, the viable bacteria number of longan dried by HA-VFCD achieved the highest value of 12.40 lg cfu/mL, which was higher than that of HAD, VFD and fresh longan samples. After fermentation by the Lactobacillus acidophilus for 48 hours, the viable bacteria number of longan dried by HA-VFCD reached 11.84 lg cfu/mL, which was close to that of VFD samples, lower than HAD samples but higher than that of fresh longan. 【Conclusion】 The HA-VFCD process combined both the advantages of HAD and VFD, which could remarkably shorten the drying time, lower the energy consumption, and improve the drying efficiency and quality of dried longan.
