Preparation process and parameter design of the fruit and vegetable powder
Abstract: This research was focused on the development of fruit and vegetable powder based on apple and carrot as raw materials. This article mainly was discussed the apple and carrot processing technology, color protection, routes for preparing effects on the quality of the product. The results indicated that the quality of the apple power was the best after was dealt with 0.5% L-cys , 0.3% citric acid, 0.5% oxalic acid and 0.5% NaCl for color protecting ,blanching lasts 2min and ,immersion at nomal temperature for 15min . Under orthogonal factor treament of the carrot power, the best composion of them was 0.2% L-cys , 1.4% citric acid , 0.5% oxalic acid and 1.0% NaCl after immersion at nomal temperature for 15min. Results different dry methods had different effect on the moisture content, VC content and pH of apple and carrot power. To analysis these to determine the vacuum freeze drying is a kind of good preparation process of fruit and vegetable powder. In addition, mix up apple pulp and carrot pulp according a certain proportion through orthogonal experiments and sensory evaluation research to get a formulation for the compound fruit and vegetable powder:apple: carrots ratio of 1:1 and sugar content was 2%.
