Effect of NSPRI Multipurpose Dryer on Some Food Spoilage Enzymes During Preservation By Drying of Lycopersicum Esculentum (Tomato).
The preservative efficacy of NSPRI Multipurpose dryer on Lycopersicum esculentum (tomato) was assessed by examining its effect on some important food spoilage enzymes during drying. NSPRI multipurpose drying (50o-60oC) significantly (P<0.05) decreased lipooxygenase activity and polygalacturonidase activity when a moisture content of 11.10% and 97.87% was attained respectively. Also, polyphenol...
