Abstract

Society's requirements for food products with better nutritional and sensorial properties is increasing, as it is for processes that can achieve these objectives with lower costs and environmental impact. Indeed, new challenges can only be overcome using new approaches. Various emerging technologies can be used to reach this target, although some of them were developed (or at least most extensively studied) for other purposes (for example, microbial inactivation). The objective of the present work is to use two emerging technologies (ultrasound and ozone) to enhance food processing (reducing time, energy and resource consumption and environmental impact, as well as processing costs) and properties (increasing nutritional and sensorial properties, meeting consumers' expectations, enhance wellbeing, and providing new uses for raw materials). To achieve this general goal, the enhancement of nutritional properties is evaluated by both reducing the degradation of nutrients and enriching the food by incorporating nutrients. Further, the physical and technological properties are evaluated, trying to enhance the desirable changes. The work studies food hydration and drying processes (representing the mass transfer processes) of different products. Furthermore, it studies structural modification and the consequent changes in the starch properties (representing food ingredients). Based on a systematic study of the mechanisms, kinetics and structural changes involved, it is proposed not only to reinforce the existing knowledge, but mainly to formulate new theories for describing the observed phenomena.
