    In the food industry, controlling sensory properties on the manufacturing line represents a key issue for companies, because the sensory properties condition the choice and the preference of the consumers. A relevant control of a sensory property depends on the reliability of the measurements of the sensory variables implied in the perception of the sensory property. The browning variable is

    In the food industry, controlling sensory properties on the manufacturing line represents a key issue for companies, because sensory properties influence consumer choice and preference. Browning quality is difficult to control because of the variability of the products treated by the browning process. In this paper, we propose a decision model developed with the Takagi–Sugeno method. It provides the actions to be performed on the actuators of the browning oven by using measurements of the browning variable obtained by the diagnosis model described in part I. The combination of the two models provides a control system that improves the browning quality of food products. The decision model was validated on a database with 90% compatibility with operator action at a sensitivity level of 2% on the actuators. The control system was then validated by operation on the manufacturing line for 180 min.

    The aim of this research was to study and model the kinetics of the hot air drying of frozen mirabelle plums. Effects of temperature (50–85°C), air velocity (0.6–1.2m/s) and a pre-treatment (ascorbic acid+sucrose-saturated solution) were investigated. The sorption isotherm and heat of sorption of mirabelle plum were mathematically described respectively by the Guggenheim, Anderson and de Boer (GAB) model and

    ABSTRACT To characterize and study the rheological behavior of Lebanese locust bean gum (LBG), nine Lebanese carob varieties, including a wild type, were randomly collected from various sites and different altitudes of the Lebanese territories. After an extraction and purification ((p)LBG) step, the obtained locust bean gum was submitted to several physic-chemicals (size distribution, charge and macromolecular weight) and rheological characterization in a wide range of temperature (25-55 degrees C). The obtained results showed that the gum yield (40-60%), the charge (-2.67 to -12.95), the size (56.37-92.23 nm), the weight-average molecular weight (535-826 kDa) and intrinsic viscosity [eta](7.25-10.76 dl/g) vary significantly depending upon the variety and the geographical localization. However, principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that the size and molecular weight are the most distinctive variables. The rheological investigation indicated that (p)LBG exhibit Newtonian flow behavior at a concentration less or equal to 0.1% (w/v) and shear-thinning behavior for higher concentrations (0.5-2%). The effect of temperature on flow behavior was well fitted by Ostwald-de Waele model (power law model) and the flow behavior index (n) was less than 1 for all studied varieties; which means that LBGs had a pseudo-plastic flow. The all new knowledge obtained in this study on the Lebanese locust bean gum will open to these interesting macromolecules new niches in food and cosmetics applications.
