摘要

This research addressed the effect of thin-layer drying of lye-peeled garlic slices within the temperature ranges of 45–70 °C. The calculated moisture ratio data were fitted in fourteen selected mathematical models and found that most of the models had a higher coefficient of determination (R2), reduced root mean square error (RMSE) and chi-square (χ2) value except Wang and Singh model at the drying temperature between 50 to 70 °C. The activation energy (Ea) for the moisture diffusion of garlic slices was found to be 6.408 kJ mol−1. Physicochemical and gravimetric properties, total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity (AA), and allicin content (AC) were assessed at different temperatures of dried lye-peeled garlic slices. AA was found to be higher at 45 °C (24.35%) and decreases with an increase in temperature to 70 °C (20.40%). A statistically significant difference (p < 0.01) in allicin content was observed in dried garlic slices dried up to 60 °C and further decreased (16.11%) as temperature increased to 70 ºC. Water absorption capacity (WAC) was found to be maximum at 60 °C, and the oil absorption capacity (OAC) was decreased with an increase in temperature. Multivariate analysis (Principal component analysis) showed the positive correlation at 55 °C with measured parameters of TPC, AC, titratable acidity (TA), TFC, water activity (aw), OAC, and Hue out of 6 selected drying temperatures and 23 measured parameters.
