冷凍乾燥 桑葚(首次)嘗试

Freeze-dried fresh mulberry (1 st attempt)

桑葚(Mulberry)

外觀保持效果 (Appearance retention)

實驗日期 Date:18 April 2021

以中國造乾燥機進行,預冷10小時至-35℃,在負壓(~10Pa)下缓慢升層板温度,分20流程運行2天(因希望外觀保持,隔板升温缓慢,所需時間加長),主乾階段温度40℃。结果如上圖,保存不理想。In order to maximize the best result upon the outlook of mulberry, prefer to apply the China freeze-dryer as to get accessible drying recipe. Recipe starts from the pre-cooling of -35℃ for 10 hours and a negative pressure (~10Pa). The whole recipe is 2 days and is divided for 20 sections. Upmost temperature is 40℃ for the main sublimation process. No obvious color change but the appearance retention is not satisfactory.

桑果的顏色來自花青素,對人體沒有已知作用。花色苷使新鮮的植物性食品具有誘人的色彩,其中包括橙色,紅色,紫色,黑色和藍色。這些顏色是水溶性的,易於提取,可產生天然食用色素。由於對天然食用色素的需求不斷增長,它們在食品工業中得到了廣泛的應用。

Mulberry fruit color derives from anthocyanins,[3] which have unknown effects in humans.[23] Anthocyanins are responsible for the attractive colors of fresh plant foods, including orange, red, purple, black, and blue.[23] These colors are water-soluble and easily extractable, yielding natural food colorants.[2] Due to a growing demand for natural food colorants, they have numerous applications in the food industry.[3][23]
