Changes of physicochemical, bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of nutritional beverages products from VD20 broken Rice in the pasteurization process.

VD20 broken rice, a byproduct of rice milling, shows significant potential for value-added applications, particularly in functional beverage production. This study investigates the impact of homogenization and pasteurization on the quality and stability of VD20 broken rice-based beverages. Homogenization at speeds 6000 to 12,000 rpm for 5 to 20 min improved product stability, while pasteurization between 80 and 95 °C for up to 20 min ensured microbial safety and extended shelf life.

Study of jelly drying cashew apples (.) processing.

Cashew apples, a by-product accrued during the manufacture of cashew nuts, have abundant nutritional values but are not widely utilized due to the presence of substances that cause acrid taste. In this study, we attempted the production of a dried jelly cashew apple product and optimized three main processing stages including blanching, osmotic, and drying. The results showed suitable conditions at 6 mm thickness in the blanching process.
