The objective of this work was to study the influence of spray drying conditions on the physicochemical properties of liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) extract. The stickiness and hydroscopicity problems in the power were overcome by use of dextrose equivalent (DE12) and DE19 maltodextrins as drying agents. The inlet air temperatures of 110 °C, 120 °C, and 130 °C and maltodextrin concentrations of 10 %, 15 %, and 20 % (maltodextrin dry solids/100 g feed mixture dry solids) were the independent variables. Moisture content, bulk density, color change, hygroscopicity, acidity & pH, solubility were analyzed to determine the effects of spray drying conditions. Increases in inlet air temperature were caused an increase in yield, pH, solubility and a decrease in moisture content, bulk density, hygroscopicity, L*, a*, b*, acidity. Increases in maltodextrin concentrations were caused an increase in yield, L*, b*, acidity and a decrease in moisture content, bulk density, hygroscopicity, a*, pH, solubility. Increases in DE maltodextrins were caused an increase in bulk density, hygroscopicity, L*, pH and a decrease in yield, moisture content, a*, b*, acidity, solubility.

Odor emissions, primarily from anthropogenic activities like waste treatment and industrial processes, pose significant challenges in urban areas, particularly near water resource recovery facilities. While these emissions are generally not toxic, they can adversely affect community wellbeing and investment, prompting stricter regulations in some regions. For example, New York State's hydrogen sulfide guidelines are more stringent than federal standards.

This study successfully synthesised and characterised composites combining chitosan (CH), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and various flavonoids (Fla). This innovative approach demonstrates the potential for developing functional materials with antioxidant and food preservation properties. The composites CH-Fla-CMC (1-5) was characterised using advanced techniques such as FT-IR, UV-Vis, XRD, SEM, TEM, and TGA, providing robust data on their structural, morphological, and thermal properties.

This study aims to develop rapid and non-invasive methods based on near-infrared hyperspectral imaging and chemometrics for quantitative prediction of chemical compositions of pea-derived products. Hyperspectral imaging was used to acquire images from pea processing streams, namely pea flour, pea protein concentrate, and pea protein isolate. The PLS algorithm was used to develop quantitative prediction models based on the relationship between the hyperspectral image data and the chemical compositions of the pea products, including moisture, protein, ash, insoluble fiber, and total starch.

Honey is a valuable natural product with antioxidant properties, and its quality is influenced by various factors, including botanical origin and biofortification. Pine bud extracts, known for their antioxidant capacity, were explored to enhance the properties of acacia and polyflower honey. This study aimed to investigate the effect of pine bud extracts at different maturation stages on the moisture content, dry matter, antioxidant activity, and total phenolic content (TPC) of acacia and polyflower honey.

Micelles, liposomes, and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are promising drug delivery vehicles; however, poor aqueous stability requires post-processing drying methods for maintaining long-term stability. The objective of this study was to compare the potential of lipid-based micelles, liposomes, and SLNs for producing stable re-dispersible spray-dried powders with trehalose or a combination of trehalose and L-leucine. This study provides novel insights into the implementation of spray drying as a technique to enhance long-term stability for these lipid-based nanocarriers.
