Catalase activity in hot-air dried mango as an indicator of heat exposure for rapid detection of heat stress
Catalase activity in hot-air dried mango as an indicator of heat exposure for rapid detection of heat stress
Abstract (English)
The growing market for dried fruits requires more attention to quality parameters. Mango and other tropical fruits are commonly dried at temperatures ranging from 40 °C to 80 °C. Convincing evidence suggests that the nutritional quality of dried fruits is best preserved when dried at low temperatures ≤50 °C, whereas increasing drying temperatures lead to the degradation of the most valuable nutrients inside the fruit. Currently, there is no system or direct measurement method that can assist in identifying the quality deterioration of dried fruits caused by excessive heat exposure during drying. From this perspective, the activity of the heat-sensitive enzyme ‘catalase’ was used for the first time to evaluate and compare mango slices dried at 40 °C, 60 °C and 80 °C. Various methods, including direct and indirect flotation tests and spectrophotometric measurements, were explored to measure the residual catalase activity in the dried samples. Results showed that the spectrophotometry and indirect flotation test produced the best results, revealing a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the catalase activity of mango slices dried at 40 °C, 60 °C and 80 °C, which the direct-dried mango flotation test failed to predict. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the potential applicability of catalase activity to indicate heat stress in dried mango slices processed at different temperatures.
