Radiofrequency-Assisted Thermal Processing of Soft Wheat Flour.

Wheat flour may be thermally processed to improve microbiological safety; however, come-up time for thermal processing of wheat flour is long due to its low thermal conductivity. In the present study, a novel radiofrequency (RF)-assisted thermal processing approach was investigated for reducing the come-up time of soft wheat flour (SWF) and for improving microbiological safety. The temperature and time combinations of 80 °C for 7 and 10 hr, 90 °C for 2 and 3 hr, and 100 °C for 0.

Novel Radiofrequency-Assisted Thermal Processing Improves the Gelling Properties of Standard Egg White Powder.

Effect of radiofrequency (RF)-assisted thermal processing on quality and functional properties of high-foaming standard egg white powder (std. EWP, pH approximately 7.0) was investigated and compared with traditional processing (heat treatment in a hot room at 58 °C for at least 14 d).
