Title Physicochemical, Technological and Functional Properties of Upcycled Vegetable Waste Ingredients as Affected by Processing and Storage
Year 2023
Published Plant Foods For Human Nutrition, 78.0, 4
Abstract Vegetable wastes are generated during harvesting, processing, and distribution, which implies a wastage of nutrients and evidence inefficiencies in present food systems. Vegetable residues are rich in bioactive compounds, for which their valorisation and reintroduction into the food chain are crucial towards circular economy and food systems sustainability. In this work, upcycled powdered ingredients were obtained from vegetables wastes (carrot, white cabbage, celery, and leek) through a disruption, dehydration and milling process. Disruption pre-treatment at different intensities was followed by freeze-drying or hot-air drying (60 and 70 degrees C), and final milling to produce fine powders. Powdered products were characterized in terms of physicochemical, antioxidant and technological properties (water and oil interaction), after processing and during four months of storage. Antioxidant properties were generally favoured by hot-air drying, particularly at 70 degrees C, attributed to new compounds formation combined to less exposure time to drying conditions. The powders showed good water interaction properties, especially freeze-dried ones. Storage had a negative impact on the quality of powders: moisture increased, antioxidant compounds generally diminished, and colour changes were evidenced. Upcycled vegetable waste powders are proposed as ingredients to fortify foods, both processing and storage conditions having an impact on their properties.
