FARKLI TAŞIYICI AJANLAR VE KURUTMA YÖNTEMLERİNİN GİLABURU (Viburnum opulus L.) TOZUNUN BAZI FİZİKOKİMYASAL ÖZELLİKLERİ VE DEPOLAMA STABİLİTESİ ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, dondurarak kurutma (FD), vakumlu kurutma (VD; 60-80°C) ve püskürtmeli kurutma (SD) yöntemlerinin, ticari inülin (CI) ve maltodekstrin (MD) ile kullanımının, Viburnum opulus L. meyve suyu tozlarının fizikokimyasal ve fonksiyonel özellikleri üzerindeki etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Kurutma yöntemi ve taşıyıcı kompozisyonunun toplam fenolik madde (TPC), toplam antosiyanin içeriği (TAC) ve antioksidan aktivite üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı etkileri olduğu belirlenmiştir (P<0.05). Taze meyve suyunda 56.12±1.51 mg GAE/g olarak belirlenen TPC değeri kurutma sonrası azalmış; en yüksek korunma FD’de (52.13±2.01 mg GAE/g’a kadar), en düşük değer ise SD’de (27.12±0.55 mg GAE/g) saptanmıştır. 60 günlük depolama süresince TAC kayıpları FD örneklerinde %7-8 ile sınırlı kalırken, SD örneklerinde %25-28 düzeyine ulaşmıştır. 4±1°C’de depolama, oda sıcaklığına kıyasla fenolik bileşiklerin bozunmasını yaklaşık %50 oranında azaltmıştır. İnülin içeren tozların biyoaktif bileşenleri daha iyi koruduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, 60°C’de uygulanan VD yöntemi inülin ile birlikte kullanıldığında, yüksek fonksiyonel kaliteyi koruyarak FD’ye ekonomik açıdan uygulanabilir bir alternatif sunmaktadır.

THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT CARRIER AGENTS AND DRYING METHODS ON SOME PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND STORAGE STABILITY OF EUROPEAN CRANBERRYBUSH (Viburnum opulus L.) POWDER

Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of freeze drying (FD), vacuum drying (VD; 60-80°C), and spray drying (SD), combined with commercial inulin (CI) and maltodextrin (MD), on the physicochemical and functional properties of Viburnum opulus L. juice powders. Drying method and carrier composition significantly affected total phenolic content (TPC), total anthocyanin content (TAC), and antioxidant activity (P<0.05). TPC of fresh juice (56.12±1.51 mg GAE/g) decreased after drying, with highest retention in FD (up to 52.13±2.01 mg GAE/g) and lowest in SD (27.12±0.55 mg GAE/g). During 60-day storage, TAC losses were limited to 7-8% in FD compared to 25-28% in SD. Storage at 4±1°C reduced phenolic degradation by nearly 50% compared to room temperature. Inulin-based powders showed superior bioactive retention. Overall, VD at 60°C with inulin provided a cost-effective alternative to FD while maintaining high functional quality.
