Effect of Temperature‐Controlled Microwave Drying on the Physicochemical and Microbiological Properties of Kefir Powder

In this study, the physicochemical and microbiological properties of kefir powders produced using a drying system modified by microwave temperature‐control (MTCM) and foam‐mat drying (FMD) were evaluated. The color parameters ( L , a , and b ) of the kefir powders ranged between 89.68–91.16, −1.54–(−4.48), an...

Effect of Feed Moisture During Extrusion Processing on the Instant, Pasting, and Rheological Properties of Potato Starch

Starch is widely used in many food applications. However, the poor dispersibility of native potato starch (PS) in water poses some challenges. In this study, PS was extruded at different feed moisture contents (20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) using a twin‐screw extruder to improve the dispersibility and instant properties. T...

Thermal Processing of Watermeal for High-Protein Gluten-Free Rice Bread: Effects on Functional and Quality Properties

Wolffia spp., commonly known as watermeal, is a nutrient-rich aquatic plant with potential as a sustainable food ingredient; however, its high moisture content (approximately 95%) necessitates effective drying to preserve product quality. This study evaluated hot-air oven and vacuum drying at 60 and 70 °C and subsequen...
