CAs were compared to values predicted by Girifalco-Good-Fowkes-Young (GGFY) equation, and GGFY combined with the Eötvös equation (GGFY-E). Finally, a relationship between the CA and interfacial tension for each oil type was obtained. CAs were measured by the sessile drop method (ramé-hart instrument co.). For oil-air systems, measurements were performed at 23 ± 1 °C, 40 °C, and then every 20 °C until reaching the oils' smoke point (olive oil: 180 °C, Canola oil: 200 °C). The same procedure was followed for oil-steam systems with first and second temperatures of 110 and 120 °C, respectively. Temperature and oil type had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on CAs, while no significant effect of surrounding media was observed. CAs decreased linearly as temperature increased (approximately 0.2°/°C). Error (E%) values were less than 10% for the majority of Canola oil systems and olive oil-air predicted CAs. Using Zisman plots, PTFE's surface tension estimates were determined using Canola and olive oil air systems (16.0 and 18.2 mN/m respectively); both systems showed a linear correlation (r2 = 0.99) between interfacial tension and CA.}, journal={LWT-FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY}, author={Aydar, Alev Y. and Rodriguez-Martinez, Veronica and Farkas, Brian E.}, year={2016}, month={Jan}, pages={304–310} } @article{foster_poulsen_sylvester_jacob_casulli_farkas_2016, title={Effect of high-pressure processing of bovine colostrum on immunoglobulin G concentration, pathogens, viscosity, and transfer of passive immunity to calves}, volume={99}, ISSN={["1525-3198"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2016-11204}, DOI={10.3168/jds.2016-11204}, abstractNote={This study aimed to determine the effects of high-pressure processing on the immunoglobulin concentration, microbial load, viscosity, and transfer of passive immunity to calves when applied to bovine colostrum as an alternative to thermal pasteurization. A pilot study using Staphylococcus aureus was conducted to determine which pressure-time treatments are most appropriate for use with bovine colostrum, with the goals of maximizing bacterial inactivation while minimizing IgG content and viscosity changes. Following the pilot study, an inoculation study was conducted in which first-milking colostrum samples from Holstein-Friesian cows were inoculated with known concentrations of various bacteria or viruses and pressure processed at either 300 MPa for up to 60min or at 400MPa for up to 30min. The recovery of total native aerobic bacteria, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica ssp. enterica serovar Dublin, Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis, bovine herpesvirus type 1, and feline calicivirus were determined after processing. Colostrum IgG content was measured before and after pressure processing. Shear stress and viscosity for each treatment was determined over shear rates encompassing those found during calf feeding and at normal bovine body temperature (37.8°C). Following a calf trial, serum IgG concentration was measured in 14 calves fed 4 L of colostrum pressure processed at 400MPa for 15min. In the pilot study, S. aureus was effectively reduced with pressure treatment at 300 and 400MPa (0, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 45min), with 2 treatments at 400MPa (30, 45min) determined to be inappropriate for use with bovine colostrum due to viscosity and IgG changes. High-pressure processing at 300MPa (30, 45, and 60min) and 400MPa (10, 15, and 20min) was shown to effectively reduce total native aerobic bacteria, E. coli, Salmonella Dublin, bovine herpesvirus type 1, and feline calicivirus populations in bovine colostrum, but no decrease occurred in Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis. All inoculation study pressure treatments insignificantly decreased IgG content of colostrum. Treatment of colostrum at 400MPa for 15min during the calf trial decreased IgG content of colostrum. Treatment at 400MPa for 15min increased colostrum viscosity, with 2 of 14 samples requiring dilution with water for calf feeding. Calves fed pressure-processed colostrum had similar serum IgG but lower efficiency of absorption than calves fed heat-treated colostrum. The results of this study suggest that high-pressure processing of bovine colostrum maintains an acceptable IgG level while decreasing bacterial and viral counts. Changes in viscosity sometimes made calf feeding more difficult, but still feasible.

Clear acidic beverages are a common application of whey protein, and recent studies have demonstrated that beverage processing steps, including acidification, enhance off-flavor production from whey protein. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of preacidification of liquid ultrafiltered whey protein concentrate (WPC) before spray drying on flavor of dried WPC. Two experiments were performed to achieve the objective. In both experiments, Cheddar cheese whey was manufactured, fat-separated, pasteurized, bleached (250 mg/kg of hydrogen peroxide), and ultrafiltered (UF) to obtain liquid WPC that was 13% solids (wt/wt) and 80% protein on a solids basis. In experiment 1, the liquid retentate was then acidified using a blend of phosphoric and citric acids to the following pH values: no acidification (control; pH 6.5), pH 5.5, or pH 3.5. The UF permeate was used to normalize the protein concentration of each treatment. The retentates were then spray dried. In experiment 2, 150 μg/kg of deuterated hexanal (D₁₂-hexanal) was added to each treatment, followed by acidification and spray drying. Both experiments were replicated 3 times. Flavor properties of the spray-dried WPC were evaluated by sensory and instrumental analyses in experiment 1 and by instrumental analysis in experiment 2. Preacidification to pH 3.5 resulted in decreased cardboard flavor and aroma intensities and an increase in soapy flavor, with decreased concentrations of hexanal, heptanal, nonanal, decanal, dimethyl disulfide, and dimethyl trisulfide compared with spray drying at pH 6.5 or 5.5. Adjustment to pH 5.5 before spray drying increased cabbage flavor and increased concentrations of nonanal at evaluation pH values of 3.5 and 5.5 and dimethyl trisulfide at all evaluation pH values. In general, the flavor effects of preacidification were consistent regardless of the pH to which the solutions were adjusted after spray drying. Preacidification to pH 3.5 increased recovery of D₁₂-hexanal in liquid WPC and decreased recovery of D₁₂-hexanal in the resulting powder when evaluated at pH 6.5 or 5.5. These results demonstrate that acidification of liquid WPC80 to pH 3.5 before spray drying decreases off-flavors in spray-dried WPC and suggest that the mechanism for off-flavor reduction is the decreased protein interactions with volatile compounds at low pH in liquid WPC or the increased interactions between protein and volatile compounds in the resulting powder.}, number={7}, journal={JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE}, author={Park, Curtis W. and Bastian, Eric and Farkas, Brian and Drake, MaryAnne}, year={2014}, month={Jul}, pages={4043–4051} } @article{zhu_lanier_farkas_li_2014, title={Transglutaminase and high pressure effects on heat-induced gelation of Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) surimi}, volume={131}, ISSN={["1873-5770"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.jfoodeng.2014.01.022}, abstractNote={Abstract A prior high pressure processing (HPP) treatment has previously been shown to enhance subsequent (at atmospheric pressure) low temperature ‘setting’ (glutamyl-lysine, non-disulfide protein crosslinking) induced by transglutaminase (TGase; endogenous or added microbial enzyme). This enhanced setting induces greater gel strength and deformability of subsequently cooked surimi gels. We sought to determine if 25 °C incubation carried out simultaneous with, rather than following, HPP might similarly induce a setting effect on subsequently cooked gels. Pollock surimi pastes (± added microbial TGase) were subjected to HPP 200, 300, or 400 MPa; at 5 °C (little or no setting effect expected during HPP at this temperature) for 30 min or at 25 °C (optimal setting temperature for pollock pastes) for 30, 60, or 120 min. Pastes were then directly cooked (90 °C for 20 min) ( pressure P °C/time  > C), or first allowed to undergo setting at atmospheric pressure (25 °C for 30, 60, or 120 min), followed by cooking (90 °C 20 min) ( pressure P °C/time  > S time  > C). With no microbial TGase added to the raw paste (e.g., endogenous TGase only), 300MPa P 5°C/30min  > S 25°C/120min  > C induced highest gel fracture stress and strain. The same treatment but with HPP at 200 or 400 MPa gave only slightly lower fracture stress (gel strength). Increasing the temperature of the HPP treatment to 25 °C ( 300MPa P 25°C/30min  > S 25°C/120min  > C), even with longer HPP time ( 300MPa P 25°C/60 or 120min  > C), gave weaker gels, similar to those obtained by setting and cooking without a prior HPP treatment (S 25°C/60min  > C). Thus, attempting to induce TGase crosslinking by setting at 25 °C during HPP treatment actually seemed detrimental to gel strength development. However, when HPP was carried out at 25 °C and microbial TGase was added, gel strength and deformability (fracture stress, strain) were enhanced above that of all other treatments tested. All treatments containing microbial TGase evidenced enhanced protein polymerization. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a more dense and fibrous structure in such gels, and reduction of free thiol (SH) groups was noted as a result of microbial TGase addition.}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD ENGINEERING}, author={Zhu, Zhiwei and Lanier, Tyre C. and Farkas, Brian E. and Li, BianSheng}, year={2014}, month={Jun}, pages={154–160} } @article{melito_farkas_2013, title={Effect of infrared finishing process parameters on physical, mechanical, and sensory properties of par-fried, infrared-finished gluten-free donuts}, volume={117}, ISSN={["1873-5770"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.jfoodeng.2013.03.012}, abstractNote={Infrared radiation (IR) can simulate the heat flux created during the frying process, yielding products with fried-like textures but lower fat content.

Human milk was inoculated with one of five pathogens (10(8) to 10(9) CFU/ml), while 0.1% peptone solution solutions with the same levels of each organism were used as controls. The samples were subjected to 400 MPa at 21 to 31 degrees C for 0 to 50 min or to 62.5 degrees C for 0 to 30 min (capillary tube method) to simulate LTLT pasteurization. Tryptic soy agar and selective media were used for enumeration. Traditional thermal pasteurization resulted in inactivation (> 7 log) of all pathogens within 10 min. In human milk and in peptone solution, a 6-log reduction was achieved after 30 min of HPP for Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. After 30 min, S. aureus ATCC 25923 was reduced by 8 log and 6 log in human milk and peptone solution, respectively. Treatments of 4 and 7 min resulted in an 8-log inactivation of Streptococcus agalactiae ATCC 12927 in human milk and peptone solution, respectively, while Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115 required 2 min for an 8-log inactivation in human milk.

Indirect modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent and a Micrococcus lysodeikticus turbidimetric assay were performed to measure immunoglobulin A immunoactivity and lysozyme activity, respectively. Pressure-treated samples retained significantly higher ( P < .05) levels of immunoglobulin A and lysozyme activity compared to samples treated with low-temperature/ long-time pasteurization.

Two cooling temperatures (-50 and -70 C), three cooling convective heat transfer coefficients (20, 50, and 100 W/ m2K), two equilibration temperatures (7 and 25 C), and two equilibration heat transfer coefficients (0 and 20 W/ m2K) were considered in the analysis. Lower temperatures and higher cooling convective heat transfer coefficients resulted in higher cooling rates and lower final egg temperatures. A chart and equation were developed to identify combinations of processing parameters to yield the desired egg temperature (7 C) at the end of adiabatic equilibration. Results show that a cooling time of 8.2 min was required to reach a final egg temperature of 7 C for a cooling temperature of -50 C and a convective heat transfer coefficient of 20 W/m2K. The cooling time decreased to 2 min when the convective heat transfer coefficient increased to 100 W/m2K, at a cooling temperature of -50 C. Processing at -70 C and 20 W/m2K, required 5.3 min to reach a final temperature of 7 C. At a higher convective heat transfer coefficient (100 W/m2K) and -70 C, a processing time of 1.3 min was sufficient to reach the target temperature of 7 C.

Temperature distribution was predicted and mass loss rates were calculated in fillets. A decreasing rate of mass loss was followed by a steady rate period and a resumption of a decreasing rate period.

Analysis of external heat transfer during immersion frying showed a highly complex system of free and forced convection augmented by boiling conditions. Oil flow was found to be driven downward by buoyancy forces due to cooling at the sample surface then upward due to entrainment in vapor bubbles during boiling conditions. Experimental work showed the convective heat transfer coefficient to be a dynamic property ranging from 300 to 1100 W/m2°C and to be strongly coupled with bulk movement of the oil. Heat flux measurements found a peak flux of nearly 30,000 W/m3. Based on analysis of bubble dynamics it is hypothesized that heat flux increases with increased oil degradation through a reduction in vapor bubble size and increase in bubble frequency due to changes in interfacial properties of the oil.}, number={6}, journal={DRYING TECHNOLOGY}, author={Farkas, BE and Hubbard, LJ}, year={2000}, pages={1269–1285} } @article{keener_lacrosse_farkas_curtis_anderson_2000, title={Gas exchange into shell eggs from cryogenic cooling}, volume={79}, ISSN={["0032-5791"]}, DOI={10.1093/ps/79.2.275}, abstractNote={The gas composition of the air cell in a shell egg is influenced by heating from egg washing and candling and the method of cooling and storage.

The 240 fresh eggs were initially heated to 47 C for 24 h in an incubator, cooled using rapid air cooling or CO2 cooling, and then stored in air or CO2 in 250-mL jars for 14 wk. The CO2 levels were recorded of the jar atmosphere, of the egg air cell, and of the egg albumen. The Haugh units of each egg, pH, and of albumen from five eggs per group were also recorded. Haugh units are a logarithmic, empirical relationship between albumen height and egg weight (Stadelman, 1995). Haugh units for the control eggs averaged 70.8 over 10 wk of the study. The control eggs were of such poor quality that they could not be sampled after 10 wk. The air-cooled and CO2-stored eggs averaged 70.3 Haugh units over the 14-wk storage period; however, the egg quality significantly deteriorated after 10 wk. The CO2-cooled and CO2-stored eggs averaged 75.9 Haugh units over the 14 wk study, with no observable decrease in quality. Rapid air-cooling produces a lower quality egg than rapid cooling with CO2. Subsequent storage of rapidly air-cooled eggs in C02 may increase shelf life, but Haugh units were not statistically different from rapid air-cooled eggs. CO2-cooling and subsequent storage in CO2 increased Haugh units.

Various control strategies to reduce the disease risk associated with V. vulnificus contamination in shellfish have been proposed. However, evaluating the efficacy of these control strategies is complicated because of the difficulty in distinguishing V. vulnificus from the high levels of background environmental Vibrio spp. The purpose of this research was to develop a model indicator V. vulnificus strain that could be readily differentiated from background microflora and used to facilitate the evaluation of processing efficacy. A spontaneous nalidixic acid-resistant strain of V. vulnificus (Vv-NA) was prepared from a wild-type parent (Vv-WT) using selective plating techniques. Vv-NA was very similar to Vv-WT with respect to biochemical characteristics, appearance on selective plating media, detection limits using most probable number and polymerase chain reaction, and growth rate. In comparative freeze inactivation studies on pure cultures, Vv-WT and Vv-NA had similar freeze inactivation profiles at -20 degrees C (conventional freezing), at -85 degrees C (cold blast freezing), and in liquid nitrogen (cryogenic freezing). In oyster homogenates artificially inoculated with Vv-NA, the organism was inactivated 95 to 99% after freezing, irrespective of freezing temperature. Thermal inactivation comparisons of pure cultures of Vv-WT and Vv-NA using the capillary tube method revealed statistically significant differences in D values at 47 degrees C (2.2 versus 3.0 min, respectively) and 50 degrees C (0.83 versus 0.56 min, respectively), but nearly identical values at 52 degrees C (0.21 versus 0.22 min, respectively). However, these D values were notably higher than those reported by other investigators and hence provided a conservative means by which to evaluate thermal inactivation. In oyster homogenates seeded with Vv-NA, D values of 1.3+/-0.09 min and 0.41+/-0.01 min were obtained at 46 degrees C and 48 degrees C, respectively. This study demonstrated that Vv-NA is readily enumerated and could be used as a surrogate for evaluating the degree of V. vulnificus inactivation provided by freezing and thermal treatments of oyster homogenates.}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF FOOD PROTECTION}, author={Dombroski, CS and Jaykus, LA and Green, DP and Farkas, BE}, year={1999}, month={Jun}, pages={592–600} }
