Marangoni Júnior, Luís; Rodrigues, Rui Miguel Martins; Pereira, Ricardo Nuno Correia; Ito, Danielle; Teixeira, Fábio Gomes; Padula, MarisaThe integrity of packaging material is crucial for understanding the interactions among food, packaging, and processing, as it directly influences packaging performance, the efficacy of processing methods, and the stability of food. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of various ohmic heating (OH) processing conditions on the integrity of PETmet/PE films (PET: polyethylene terephthalate, met: metallization...
Retention of β-carotene in biofortified sweet potato chips after processing
Marangoni Júnior, Luís; Ito, Danielle; Ribeiro, Sophia Moyses Lamonica; Silva, Marta Gomes da; Aguirre, José Maurício de; Alves, Rosa Maria VercelinoConsumption of biofortified foods such as sweet potatoes with high content of β-carotene may reduce deficiency of this micronutrient. The development of biofortified sweet potato chips expands the distribution and offers an alternative to the consumption of this product. The aim of this study was to evaluate the thermal blanching methods (steam and in boiling water) in β-carotene retention in the production of ...
