The qualities of ginger prepared by an MPD (molecular press dehydration) method using maltodextrin, or dried using reused dehydration liquid, or prepared by freeze-drying or hot-air drying, were compared in terms of approximate overall composition, color, water absorption index, water solubility index, total sugar level, reducing sugar concentration, antioxidant activity, and gingerol content. The approximate composition of ginger prepared by the MPD method was lower in overall biochemical content than were those of gingers prepared using other methods. Ginger prepared by the MPD method retained the original ginger color. The water absorption and solubility index of ginger prepared by the MPD method (using maltodextrin) were better than those of gingers dried using other methods. The total sugar content did not change noticeably upon processing. The reducing sugar content of ginger prepared by hot-air drying was low. The antioxidant activity of ginger prepared by the MPD method was higher than that of freeze-dried and hot air-dried ginger samples, with values lower than those of BHA (3(2)-t-Butyl-4-hydroxyanisole) and BHT (2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol). The gingerol content of ginger prepared by the freeze-drying method was higher than that of gingers prepared by other methods. However, ginger constituents were present in the dehydration liquid used in the MPD method. The results indicate that both the MPD method (using maltodextrin) and the use of reused dehydration liquid are efficient methods by which ginger can be dried.

Green peppers were dried using maltodextrin and recycled dehydration liquid as dehydrating agents, and the quality of dried green pepper powders was compared with that of freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples in terms of moisture content, color, antioxidant activity, capsaicinoid level, and sensory acceptability. The moisture content of maltodextrin-treatedgreen pepper powder was higher than that of samples prepared using recycled dehydration liquid. The lightness (L) value rose with increasing concentrations of maltodextrin powder or liquid. The antioxidant activities of pepper powders prepared using the molecular press dehydration method were similar to that of alpha-tocopherol, and better than that offreeze-dried or hot air-dried samples. Capsaicinoid levels fell with increasing concentrations of maltodextrin powder and liquid. The sensory evaluation data on green pepper powders prepared using the molecular press dehydration method were better than those obtained when freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples were evaluated. These results indicate that drying of green pepper powders using maltodextrin and recycled dehydration liquid as dehydrating agents is very efficient.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal mixing ratios for three different concentrations of maltodextrin, dehydration time, and cutting thickness to prepare gingers using molecular press dehydration (MPD) through response surface methodology (RSM) based on the dehydration rate, rehydration rate, and a sensory evaluation. As maltodextrin concentration increased, dehydration rate, rehydration rate, external, flavor, texture, overall acceptability of the gingers tended to be high, and the color tended to be low. As the dehydration time and cutting thickness increased, dehydration rate, rehydration rate and the sensory evaluation of the gingers tended to be high. The maltodextrin concentrations were 70-82%, dehydration time was 5.2-9.2 hr, and cutting thickness levels were 1.0-1.2 mm. The optimal mixing ratios, maltodextrin concentration, dehydration time, and cutting thickness for manufacturing the best quality of gingers using molecular press dehydration were 76%, 7.2 hr, and 1.1 mm, respectively.

Purpose: Molecular press dehydration is one of the dehydration methods. The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of tarts made with dehydrated purple sweet potatoes during the storage period. Methods: Quality characteristics of purple sweet potato tarts were evaluated by analyzing moisture content, water activity, total phenolics, anthocyanins, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, color, and sensory evaluation for 45 days of storage. Results: Moisture content of tart crust made with molecular press dehydration treated purple sweet potatoes with concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% maltodextrin as a dehydrating agent for 45 days was 8.47%, 7.95%, 6.96%, and 6.24% respectively; however, the moisture content of non-treated tart crust was 11.99% (p<0.05). Total phenolics, anthocyanins, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of dehydrated purple sweet potato tarts were lowered than those of non-treated tart (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results indicated that tarts made with molecular press dehydrated purple sweet potatoes had effectively controlled moisture content and water activity during storage although total phenolics, anthocyanins, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, color, and sensory evaluation were decreased.

We examined variations in ginger dehydration and recovery rate upon use of dextrose of different equivalence values. The dehydration rate varied with dextrose equivalent and the dehydration rate increased as the equivalence value increased. Both dehydration and recovery rates varied with dextrose molecular weight. Moisture content was lowest in samples prepared by freeze-drying, and neither dextrose equivalent nor molecular weight affected moisture level. Upon color analysis, ginger dried using dextrose varying in equivalence and molecular weight was similar in color to the original material, unlike ginger dried by other methods. Hot-air-dried ginger scored lowest in all sensory tests, compared with ginger prepared by molecular press dehydration using dextrose varying in equivalence and molecular weight. With respect to the appearance of ginger, freeze-dried samples were optimal, but molecular press dehydration yielded samples that scored best upon overall evaluation. When all quality evaluation items were taken together, molecular press dehydration resulted in a better quality product than the older hot-air or freeze-drying methods.

Ginger was dried using maltodextrin or recycled dehydration liquid as dehydrating agents, and the quality of dried ginger was compared with that of freeze-dried and hot-air-dried samples in terms of color, moisture content, water activity, dehydration rate, rehydration rate, and sensory properties. Ginger prepared using molecular press dehydration (MPD) retained its original color. The dehydration rate increased when ginger was dried using a dehydrating agent. The rehydration rate was increased in ginger dried using such an agent. Both dehydration and rehydration rates were elevated with increasing concentrations of soluble solids in the dehydration liquid. The sensory qualities of ginger prepared using the MPD method were better than those of freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples. These results indicate that drying of ginger rhizomes using recycled dehydrating liquid is very efficient.

This study was attempted to quality characteristics of ginseng powder using molecular press dehydration(MD) method. Ginseng powder was dried using maltodextrin as dehydrating agents, and the quality of the ginseng powder was compared with that of freeze-drying and hot air-drying samples in terms of colors, moisture contents and grain size. The colors of ginseng powder using MD-drying and freeze-drying was better than hot air-dried ginseng powder. The moisture contents of ginseng powder using MD-drying was 9.49%, while freeze-drying was 4.14% and hot air-drying 11.71% after 72ball mill times. The grain size of ginseng powder using MD-drying and freeze-drying was better than hot air-drying ginseng powder. These results suggest that drying of ginseng powder using molecular press dehydration method is very efficient, because minimal cell destruction may be achieved.

Purple sweet potatoes were dehydrated with maltodextrin with different dextrose equivalent (DE) values of 4-7, 13-17, 16.5-19.5, and 17-20. Maltodextrin was used as a molecular press dehydrating agent. The molecular dehydration rate of the purple sweet potatoes increased over time. As the DE of maltodextrin increased, the moisture content after 12 h of dehydration decreased from 65.7% to 40.8, 36.1, 34.9, and 28.6% for DE values of 4-7, 13-17, 16.5-17.5, and 17-20, respectively. Additionally, total phenolic content, anthocyanin, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities decreased as the DE value of maltodextrin increased. While maltodextrins with DE values of 16.5-19.5 and 17-20 effectively dehydrated the purple sweet potatoes, total phenolic, anthocyanin, and DPPH radical scavenging activities were lowered during dehydration. The DPPH radical scavenging activities correlated to both the total phenolic content ($r^2=0.96$) and anthocyanin contents ($r^2=0.95$) of the purple sweet potatoes. These results indicate that the purple sweet potatoes were effectively dehydrated with maltodextrin whose DE values ranged 16.5-20, although there were losses in the total phenolic and anthocyanin contents.

Ginseng is one of the most well known medicinal plant in East Asia with many bioactivities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality properties of cookies added with different concentrations (0, 1, 3, and 5%) of ginseng powder by molecular press dehydration (MPD) method. MPD was known to be an excellent tool for keeping taste and flavor without any loss of original materials. The results indicated no significant difference in the density of cookie dough with different concentrations of ginseng powder. The L color value was decreased and the a color values were increased with increasing concentrations of ginseng powder (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the b values. Spread factor of cookie was not significantly different between 1% and 3%, but decreased at 5% (p<0.05). The hardness of cookies was significantly increased as ginseng powder concentration increased. The result of sensory score showed that cookie added with 1% ginseng powder had higher color, sweetness, overall acceptability scores than other samples. As a result of this study, quality of cookies with added 1% ginseng powder were the most suitable in terms of its color, texture, and sensory properties.
