Processed walnuts including hot air-dried and roasted walnuts were prepared. Volatiles in raw and processed walnuts were analyzed using head-space solid phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Oxidative stability of hot air-dried walnuts in different antioxidants, with or without vacuum package was studied to find a proper package for oxidation stability of hot air-dried walnuts. The results showed that there were 14 volatiles in raw walnuts, 28 in hot air-dried walnuts and 38 in roasted walnuts. The changes of oil quality indices, total phenols, malondialdehyde and free radical scavenging activities during storage at 60 °C showed that the oil oxidation increased with storage time. The addition of antioxidants and vacuum package could slow down the oxidation. Vacuum aluminum foil package (14 × 20 cm) can delay the oil oxidation and extend the shelf life to ~ 230 days of hot air-dried walnuts at 20 °C. With added antioxidant this was extended to ~ 257 days.

Pandan, a tropical crop, is rich in squalene (SQ), known for its antioxidant and hypoglycemic properties, and 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP), which imparts a characteristic aroma. This study focuses on the extraction of the two bioactive compounds from Pandan leaves and investigates the effects of drying methods, extraction solvents, and conditions on the yield of SQ and 2-AP. Results show that hot air-dried Pandan leaves when extracted using the binary solvent system of ethanol and n-hexane (EH), yield higher SQ content while maintaining an adequate content of 2-AP.

The process of sprouting makes legumes better by changing their nutrition, chemicals, and taste. Ground sprouted chickpeas are commonly used as the main ingredient in falafel. The aim of this research was to study the impact of drying techniques that include hot-air, infrared, and microwave on the moisture, ash, total phenolics, antioxidant capacity, color, and rehydration ratio of dried ground sprouted chickpeas.

Non-enzymatic browning (NEB) reduced the colour quality of hot-air dried peppers, but the specific mechanism remains unclear. This may be related to the degradation of chlorophyll, ascorbic acid, and polyphenols. The findings revealed that the surface of pepper gradually browned during hot-air drying, with the ΔE value and browning degree (BD) significantly increasing by 119.
