This paper presents the results of the comparison of different analytical techniques (Differential Scanning Calorimetry - DSC, Low Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance - LF-NMR, Light Microscopy - LM and Transmission Electron Microscopy - TEM) in order to evaluate the mass transfer, water status and cellular compartment modifications of the kiwifruit outer pericarp tissue during osmotic dehydration treatment (OD). Two kiwifruit species, A. deliciosa and A. Chinensis were submitted to OD. OD was performed in a 61.5 % w/v sucrose solution at three different temperatures (25, 35 and 45°C), with treatment time from 0 to 300 min. Peleg's model highlighted that the main response differences between the two kiwifruit species occurred during the initial phase of the osmotic treatment. DSC parameters appeared to be sensitive to water and solid exchange between fruits and osmotic solution. LF-NMR proton T2 revealed the consequences of the water-solid exchange on the cell compartments, namely vacuole, cytoplasm plus extracellular space and cell wall. During OD, the reduction of the vacuole proton pool, detected by LF-NMR, suggested a shrinkage of such compartment, confirmed by LM. Cell walls of outer pericarp showed considerable changes in size, structure and stain uptake during OD observed at TEM. The proposed multianalytical approaches should enable better design of combined processing technologies permitting the evaluation of their effects on tissue response.

Dve sorte kivija su bile izložene osmotskom tretmanu, A. deliciosa i A. chinensis. Osmotsko sušenje obavljeno je u 61,5% rastvoru saharoze na tri različite temperature (25, 35 i 45°C), sa vremenom trajanja sušenja od 0 do 300 minuta. Pelegovim modelom naglašene su glavne razlike između dve sorte kivija koje se događaju tokom početne faze osmotskog tretmana. DSC parametri osetljivi su na izmenu vode i čvrste materije između voća i osmotskog rastvora. LF-NMR-om otkrivene su posledice razmene vode i čvrste materije na ćeliju, odnosno vakuole, citoplazmu sa vanćelijskim prostorom i ćelijski zid.

AGR/15 Scienze e tecnologie alimentari - Abstract
Over the past years fruit and vegetable industry has become interested in the application of both osmotic dehydration and vacuum impregnation as mild technologies because of their low temperature and energy requirements. Osmotic dehydration is a partial dewatering process by immersion of cellular tissue in hypertonic solution. The diffusion of water from the vegetable tissue to the solution is usually accompanied by the simultaneous solutes counter-diffusion into the tissue. Vacuum impregnation is a unit operation in which porous products are immersed in a solution and subjected to a two-steps pressure change. The first step (vacuum increase) consists of the reduction of the pressure in a solid-liquid system and the gas in the product pores is expanded, partially flowing out. When the atmospheric pressure is restored (second step), the residual gas in the pores compresses and the external liquid flows into the pores. This unit operation allows introducing specific solutes in the tissue, e.g. antioxidants, pH regulators, preservatives, cryoprotectancts. Fruit and vegetable interact dynamically with the environment and the present study attempts to enhance our understanding on the structural, physico-chemical and metabolic changes of plant tissues upon the application of technological processes (osmotic dehydration and vacuum impregnation), by following a multianalytical approach. Macro (low-frequency nuclear magnetic resonance), micro (light microscopy) and ultrastructural (transmission electron microscopy) measurements combined with textural and differential scanning calorimetry analysis allowed evaluating the effects of individual osmotic dehydration or vacuum impregnation processes on (i) the interaction between air and liquid in real plant tissues, (ii) the plant tissue water state and (iii) the cell compartments. Isothermal calorimetry, respiration and photosynthesis determinations led to investigate the metabolic changes upon the application of osmotic dehydration or vacuum impregnation. The proposed multianalytical approach should enable both better designs of processing technologies and estimations of their effects on tissue., Negli ultimi anni l'industria di trasformazione al minimo ha mostrato un crescente interesse verso i trattamenti di disidratazione osmotica e di impregnazione sottovuoto per le loro caratteristiche basse temperature di processo e per le relativamente contenute esigenze energetiche. La disidratazione osmotica, che consiste nell'immersione di tessuti vegetali in soluzioni ipertoniche, consente all’acqua presente nei tessuti di diffondere nella soluzione osmotica ed ai soluti in soluzione di diffondere, in direzione opposta, all'interno dei tessuti. L'impregnazione sottovuoto prevede l’immersione del tessuto vegetale in una soluzione di processo e consiste di due fasi successive. Durante la prima fase, la riduzione della pressione agente sul sistema solido-liquido provoca l'espansione ed il parziale rilascio nella soluzione del gas contenuto nei pori del tessuto. La seconda fase di ripristino della pressione atmosferica determina l’espansione del gas residuo nel tessuto con conseguente richiamo della soluzione esterna all'interno dei pori. L’impregnazione sottovuoto rappresenta un’interessante operazione tecnologica poiché può permette l’introduzione nei tessuti di specifiche molecole quali antiossidanti, regolatori di pH, stabilizzanti o crioprotettori. Il presente studio si è proposto di valutare, seguendo un approccio multianalitico di indagine, le principali modificazioni a carico di tessuti vegetali assoggettati a trattamenti di disidratazione osmotica o impregnazione sottovuoto. Misurazioni di tipo macro- (risonanza magnetica nucleare), micro- (microscopia ottica) ed ultrastrutturali (microscopia elettronica a trasmissione) sono state affiancate ad analisi di texture e di calorimetria a scansione differenziale. Sono stati valutati i principali effetti sulle interazioni aria-liquido in reali condizioni, sullo stato dell'acqua del tessuto e sui compartimenti cellulari. Misurazioni di calorimetria in isoterma e determinazioni dell'attività respiratoria e fotosintetica hanno infine permesso un'indagine dei cambiamenti metabolici. Tale approccio multianalitico, permettendo una valutazione complessiva delle modificazioni a carico della materia prima, può essere applicato nell’ottimizzazione dei parametri di processo sulla base delle caratteristiche ricercate nel prodotto finito.

PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES ,FRESH CUT FRUIT ,OSMO-DEHYDRATION ,MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE ,ISOTHERMAL CALORIMETRY - Abstract
In this research, recent results of isothermal calorimetry studies focused on differently processed and stored fresh-cut fruit are presented. Particularly the calorimetric approach has been applied in order to better understand the physiological response of fresh-cut kiwifruit, apple and cantaloupe tissues as a consequence of: - osmo-dehyration in sucrose solution for different treatment times, on the metabolic heat production of fresh-cut kiwifruit; - modified atmosphere exposure, on the metabolic heat production of fresh-cut apples, with an innovative instrument set-up; - storage in different syrup formulations, on the microbial growth heat production on fresh-cut cantaloupe. Obtained results are very promising, evidencing important aspects such as: - a progressive metabolic heat reduction of kiwifruit tissue with the proceeding of the osmotic treatment; - the inhibitory effect of specific gas mixtures with traditional and/or innovative packaging gases in terms of metabolic heat production of apple tissue; - the potentiality of this technique for the optimization of syrup formulation, in order to increase the microbiological stability of fresh-cut cantaloupe.

transverse relaxation time ,osmotic dehydration ,diffusion coefficient ,KIWIFRUIT ,low field-nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) - Abstract
Osmotic dehydration is a partial dewatering process by immersion of cellular tissue in a hypertonic solution, which is accompanied by solutes counter-diffusion into the tissue. Low field-nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) seems to be a promising technique to follow the distribution of water/solutes through the cellular tissue during treatment. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the cellular compartment modifications of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) outer pericarp tissue caused by osmotic treatment in a 61.5% sucrose solution through the quantification of transversal relaxation time (T2) and water self diffusion coefficient (Dw) obtained by LF-NMR means. Proton T2 of the samples was measured using CPMG sequence. Three T2 were obtained of around 30, 200 and 1000 ms, which could be ascribed to the protons located in the cell walls, in the cytoplasm/ extracellular space, and in vacuoles, respectively and could be directly compared to those described in the literature for several fruits and vegetables. Vacuoles T2 represented around 66% of total kiwifruit protons. The leakage of water leading to vacuoles shrinkage seemed to cause a concentration of solutes, retained by the tonoplast, making the vacuoles T2 decrease at each treatment time. Dw were measured by means of the pulsed field spin-echo (PFSE) sequence. As expected, the kiwifruit Dw values measured in the raw kiwifruit were lower than free water one, as the structures and solutes of raw kiwifruit reduce water mobility, and decrease even more during osmotic treatment, due to the water loss and sugar gain. The coefficient measured by means of PFSE represented an average value of the whole kiwifruit tissue protons. In order to obtain Dw values specific for each cellular compartment, a two compartment fitting was also used. The Dw correspondent to vacuoles was much higher than the average one Dw.

FRESH-CUT FRUIT AND VEGETABLES ,DIPPING ,MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE ,ISOTHERMAL CALORIMETRY ,METABOLIC HEAT - Abstract
Nella produzione degli ortofrutticoli di IV gamma (OIV), le operazioni di preparazione sono responsabili dell’aumento dei fenomeni metabolici del tessuto vegetale (Mencarelli e Massantini, 1994). La previsione della shelf-life può essere attuata controllando gli agenti responsabili delle alterazioni qualitative (come la carica microbica e l’attività enzimatica) o monitorandone gli effetti (come le modificazioni del colore e/o la comparsa di sapori ed odori anomali). Per gli OIV tale approccio risulta molto complicato a causa della complessità intrinseca del prodotto, che continua a modificarsi a seguito della sua vitalità. In questa direzione la calorimetria in isoterma può essere utilizzata per ottenere un’indicazione diretta dell’attività metabolica dei tessuti vegetali, dovuta principalmente a fenomeni respiratori endogeni ed esogeni, aerobici ed anaerobici, legati al metabolismo da ferita ed allo sviluppo microbico. Un calorimetro misura la somma di tutto il calore prodotto dal campione, sia endogeno (metabolismo respiratorio), che esogeno (in caso di sviluppo microbico), permettendo di studiare un sistema biologico senza scendere nei dettagli. Un primo approccio calorimetrico per la comprensione e la minimizzazione degli eventi dovuti allo stress da ferita, è quello di stabilire la relazione tra il grado di lesione del tessuto vegetale e la sua attività metabolica, nonché quella dovuta allo sviluppo microbico (Wadsö et al., 2004). In passato sono stati effettuati numerosi studi riguardanti l’effetto di pre-trattamenti di immersione in soluzioni stabilizzanti (dipping) sulla qualità di OIV. La limitata conoscenza del loro effetto sul metabolismo del prodotto può essere estesa con l’ausilio della calorimetria in isoterma, anche in condizioni di stoccaggio refrigerato o invecchiamento accelerato (Rocculi et al., 2007). In aggiunta è possibile implementare studi metabolici fondamentali calo-respirometrici, sia in condizioni di aerobiosi che di anaerobiosi o di atmosfera controllata, attraverso la simultanea misura dell’energia metabolica con quella della velocità di consumo di O2 o di produzione di CO2, ottenendo informazioni molto utili per la scelta dell’atmosfera protettiva e della permeabilità dell’imballaggio ottimale (Gomez et al., 2005). Premesso questo, scopo del presente lavoro è quello di fornire una visione complessiva delle potenzialità della calorimetria in isoterma come tecnica per monitorare e predire l’evoluzione qualitativa di OIV

Over the past years fruit and vegetable industry has become interested in the application of both osmotic dehydration and vacuum impregnation as mild technologies because of their low temperature and energy requirements. Osmotic dehydration is a partial dewatering process by immersion of cellular tissue in hypertonic solution. The diffusion of water from the vegetable tissue to the solution is usually accompanied by the simultaneous solutes counter-diffusion into the tissue. Vacuum impregnation is a unit operation in which porous products are immersed in a solution and subjected to a two-steps pressure change. The first step (vacuum increase) consists of the reduction of the pressure in a solid-liquid system and the gas in the product pores is expanded, partially flowing out. When the atmospheric pressure is restored (second step), the residual gas in the pores compresses and the external liquid flows into the pores. This unit operation allows introducing specific solutes in the tissue, e.g. antioxidants, pH regulators, preservatives, cryoprotectancts. Fruit and vegetable interact dynamically with the environment and the present study attempts to enhance our understanding on the structural, physico-chemical and metabolic changes of plant tissues upon the application of technological processes (osmotic dehydration and vacuum impregnation), by following a multianalytical approach. Macro (low-frequency nuclear magnetic resonance), micro (light microscopy) and ultrastructural (transmission electron microscopy) measurements combined with textural and differential scanning calorimetry analysis allowed evaluating the effects of individual osmotic dehydration or vacuum impregnation processes on (i) the interaction between air and liquid in real plant tissues, (ii) the plant tissue water state and (iii) the cell compartments.

Non-destructive rapid method based on FT-NIR spectroscopy is assessed to predict the processing response of raw materials at different ripening stages. During osmotic dehydration (61.5% sucrose solution, 5 h) ripe and unripe kiwifruits were analysed with FT-NIR spectroscopy and the most representative physico-chemical parameters to osmotic dehydration (dry matter, soluble solids content, water self-diffusion coefficient and firmness) were assessed by destructive measurements. Predictive models were successfully built by means of partial least square regression (PLSR) analysis (R2 > 0.772, test set validations) for all the four parameters destructively measured. The application of vector normalisation pre-processing was critical to eliminate spectral information that did not relate to the OD process. FT-NIR spectroscopy can successfully predict the evolution of kiwifruit physico-chemical parameters during osmotic dehydration. Thus it can be used as a tool to tune online the process parameters (e.g. time and temperature) to obtain a standardised final product starting from non-homogeneous raw materials.

In this study calorimetric measurements provided evidence of a drastic increase of spinach leaf gross metabolism as a consequence of vacuum impregnation (VI) at a minimum pressure of 150 mbar with trehalose and sucrose isotonic solutions. When applying VI extracellular air is replaced by the impregnation solution, potentially limiting tissue respiration to any remaining air volume in the tissue. However the observation that impregnated leaves showed photosynthetic activity suggests that not all air was exhausted during VI. Hence impregnation appears to reach a maximum with remaining gas filled compartments. Metabolic inhibitors impregnated together with sugars showed that the short-term metabolic response, causing the drastic increase of gross metabolism upon VI, depends on mitochondrial oxygen consuming pathways. The metabolic effect following mannitol impregnation was comparable with water impregnation, suggesting that the strong metabolic effect reported here is only seen for molecules that can be metabolized and provide energy to the cells. Industrial relevance: Vacuum impregnation is used to incorporate additives in fruit and vegetable tissues, such as anti-browning agents, microbial preservatives or cryoprotectants. As a promising technology in the food industry, deeper insights on the metabolic consequences of vacuum impregnation are required to define and control the shelf-life of the processed fruits and vegetables.
