Freeze-dried mango powder is prone to quality degradation during storage. Variations in raw material quality and production conditions across batches further complicate long-term quality control. Repeated and lengthy shelf life testing is both time-consuming and costly. Therefore, mathematical models play a crucial role in estimating shelf life, reducing costs, and tailoring storage conditions for each production batch. The objective of this study was to develop and propose mathematical models to quantitatively predict changes in moisture content, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant activity in mango powder over time. Mango powder was stored at four different temperatures (20°C-55°C) corresponding to RH = 33%-55%. Mathematical models were developed based on statistical parameters ( , RMSE, ). The results showed that moisture content was dependent on storage temperature, with the most suitable model being Vu ( > 0.97) at all four temperatures. Zero-order, first-order, and Weibull models were considered suitable to describe the mechanisms of bioactive components and antioxidant activity with > 0.99. The models predicted the shelf life of the product from 85 to 551 days depending on the storage conditions. Additionally, the equilibrium moisture content of mango powder under the current storage conditions was found to be less than 5%. The study's results provide experimental models and form the basis for improving product quality, predicting shelf life, and establishing automated sample control in production.
冻干芒果粉在储存过程中容易出现质量下降的情况。不同批次的原材料质量和生产条件存在差异,这使得长期质量控制变得更加复杂。反复进行冗长的保质期测试既耗时又成本高昂。因此,数学模型在估计保质期、降低成本以及为每个生产批次定制储存条件方面发挥着关键作用。本研究的目的是开发并提出数学模型,以定量预测芒果粉中水分含量、生物活性化合物和抗氧化活性随时间的变化。芒果粉在对应相对湿度(RH)为33% - 55%的四个不同温度(20°C - 55°C)下储存。基于统计参数( ,RMSE, )开发了数学模型。结果表明,水分含量取决于储存温度,在所有四个温度下最合适的模型是Vu( >0.97)。零级、一级和威布尔模型被认为适合描述生物活性成分和抗氧化活性的机制, >0.99。根据储存条件,这些模型预测产品的保质期为85至551天。此外,发现在当前储存条件下芒果粉的平衡水分含量小于5%。该研究结果提供了实验模型,并为提高产品质量、预测保质期以及在生产中建立自动样品控制奠定了基础。
