Increasing energy costs of the food industry and the necessity to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases orient the researchers to find alternative solutions to increase energy efficiency, and to decrease waste and environmental damage. Hence, the use of novel technologies comes to the fore. Since volumetric heating could be provided by Ohmic and microwave heating methods, a heating medium is not required. Thus it is possible to reduce undesirable changes in quality attributes by eliminating contact with hot surfaces and providing rapid heating. The negative effects on the environment could also be reduced owing to both utilization of efficient energy for the heating process and the elimination of wastewater. Alternative nonthermal methods including ultrasound, membrane filtration, pulsed electric field, and electroplasmolysis techniques could also be applied. In this chapter, recent studies on the evaporation techniques, regarding their system setups, effects on the quality characteristics, and performance evaluations are reviewed.

Sabanci, Serdal; Icier, Filiz
An ohmic assisted vacuum evaporation (OAVE) processes was used to concentrate orange juice from 11.4% total soluble solid content (TSSC) to 42% TSSC by applying 13 V/cm constant voltage gradient at different temperatures. The evaporation temperatures were adjusted to 100 °C, 85 °C, 75 °C and 65 °C by setting absolute system pressures of 101.32 kPa, 58 kPa, 39 kPa and 25 kPa, respectively. The total time for the processes, including heating and evaporation, was 34, 40, 48, and 54 min for 100, 85, 75, and 65 °C, respectively. As the evaporation temperature increased, the applied energy required for phase change decreased while maximum current values increased from 0.6 A at 65 °C to 2.52 A at 100 °C. During any given run, the current value increased as the orange juice pulp heated up, but then decreased after it began to boil, leading to a reduction in the rate of heat generation. Increasing evaporation temperature has a positive effect on evaporation rates, energy efficiency, specific water removal ratio (SWRR), exergy efficiency, and Improvement Potential (IP) (p < 0.05). The reduced energy requirement with higher temperature is partially due to reduced work from the vacuum pump at the higher absolute pressure.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2019Scopus SJRQ2Effects of Vacuum Ohmic Evaporation on Some Quality Properties of Sour Cherry Juice Concentrates
Sabancı, Serdal; Icier, Filiz
Sour cherry juice (SJ) having total soluble solid (TSS) content of 19.2 % was concentrated to 65 % TSS by applying vacuum ohmic evaporation (VOE) and vacuum evaporation (VE) methods under constant absolute pressure (25 kPa). Total monomeric anthocyanin content (TMAC) of sour cherry concentrate (65 % TSS) was found in the range of 1561.67–1777.38 mg/L whereas total phenolic content (TPC) varied in the range of 9,071.22–78,347.53 mg/L concentrate. TPC and TMAC values of juice concentrates were affected less from VOE process compared to VE (p < 0.05) while there was no significant difference between the total antioxidant activities of SJ concentrates obtained by both methods (p > 0.05). TMAC and TPC values increased as the voltage gradient applied increased (p < 0.05). VOE process preserved the color properties of juice concentrates better compared to the VE process. It was concluded that VOE method could be an alternative fast evaporation method to obtain high-quality fruit juice concentrates.
