Abstract
Physicochemical properties of onion powder as influenced by drying methods were investigated. Moisture contents of onion powder were 13.29%, 12.99%, and 10.78% for samples dried using hot-air dryer, freeze dryer, and vacuum dryer, respectively. There were no significant differences in crude fat, crude protein, and crude ash content (p>0.05) depending on the drying methods. Samples prepared by freeze drying showed a significantly higher L-value as compared with those prepared by hot-air and vacuum drying (p<0.05). Scanning electron micrographs showed that freeze drying produced smaller particle-sized sample which in turn resulted in the higher porosity of the sample. Freeze dried samples revealed significantly lower degree of rehydration than other samples (p<0.05) probably due to small particle size of the sample. Water solubility of freeze dried sample appeared to be higher than that of other drying methods while the swelling ratio of the same sample appeared to be lower than that of the others. Browning index was significantly lower in samples prepared by freeze drying (p<0.05) but not significantly different between samples dried by hot-air and vacuum drying. Vitamin C content was higher in freeze dried onion powder due to the lower temperature applied to the sample. Freeze dried onion powder contained significantly lower amount of total polyphenol and higher amount of total sugar as compared to other samples (p<0.05).
