| Sumario: | [EN] Valorisation of fruit and vegetable wastes by transforming residues and discards into functional powdered ingredients has gained interest in recent years. Moreover, fermentation has been recalled as an ancient technology available to increase the nutritional value of foods. In the present work, the impact of pretreatments (disruption and fermentation) on drying kinetics and functional properties of powdered broccoli stems was studied. Broccoli stems fermented with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and non-fermented broccoli stems were freeze-dried and air-dried at different temperatures. Drying kinetics were obtained and fitted to several thin layer mathematical models. Powders were characterized in terms of physicochemical and antioxidant properties, as well as of probiotic potential. Fermentation promoted faster drying rates and increased phenols and flavonoids retention. Increasing drying temperature shortened the process and increased powders' antioxidant activity. Among the models applied, Page resulted in the best fit for all samples. Microbial survival was favoured by lower drying temperatures (air-drying at 50 degrees C and freeze-drying). Fermentation and drying conditions were proved to determine both drying behaviour and powders' properties. |
