| 6 | Effect of drying methods and parameters on the antioxidant properties of tea(Camellia sinensis)leaves显示文摘Background:Conventional drying using heated air oven is commonly used as a method for preserving the product but often affects the nutritional value,taste,and texture.However,the heat from the drying method can oxidize and destroy heat-sensitive compounds.Superheated steam(SHS)drying uses superheated steam instead of hot air or combustion gases in a direct dryer and was reported better at preserving the nutritional values of food products.Aim:To evaluate the effect of SHS drying on antioxidant properties of tea leaves.The study also compared SHS drying with conventional and freeze-drying methods.Results:Tea leaves dried using freeze drying retained the highest level of antioxidant properties compared to other drying methods.The leaves dried using SHS exhibited significantly higher radical scavenging activity,ORAC and FRAP values compared to oven drying method.At different drying temperatures(150℃and 175℃),oven dried leaves showed significantly higher(p<0.05)antioxidant properties than that of SHS dried ones.Tea leaves dried for 60,75,and 90 min using SHS showed significantly higher(p<0.05)FRAP and ORAC values,and also total phenolic content compared to oven dried tea leaves.Conclusion:Tea leaves dried using SHS drying method retained higher level of antioxidant properties compared to oven drying.The drying method also retained lower antioxidant properties as drying time increased.Further study involving SHS drying in food-related fields should be conducted to support its usefulness. | A.S.Roslan A.Ismail Y.Ando A.Azlan | 2020 | Food Production, Processing and Nutrition2020，2，1： | 1 |
