1 Introduction
In the last decades views on the role of foods in humanhealth have changed markedly Even though a balanced dietremains a key objective to prevent deficiencies and respectiveassociated diseases an excellent nutrition will aim at estab-lishing the optimum intake of as many food componentsas possible in order to promote health or reduce the riskof diseases At the beginning of the twenty-first centurythe major challenge of the science of nutrition is thus toprogress from improving life expectancy to improving lifequality On the road to an excellent nutrition functional
food is an interesting and stimulating concept as muchas it is supported by sound and consensual scientific datagenerated by the recently developed functional food scienceThis aims at improving dietary guidelines by integrating newknowledge on the interactions between food components andbody functions andor pathological processes
The emergence of bioactive compounds with healthbenefits offers an excellent opportunity for food scientiststo depict their role in health Despite the mechanisms ofbioactive substances in physiological functions not being yetfully depicted their addition in food products is recognizedas holding high potential to decrease disease risk [1 2] The

incorporation of bioactive compounds such as vitamins pre-biotics carotenoids phenolic compounds and phytosterolsin food systems provides a way to develop novel functionalfoods that may present health benefits or reduce the risk ofdisease [3]
Functional foods could be (i) usual foods with naturallyoccurring bioactive substances (ie dietary fibre) (ii) foodssupplemented with bioactive substances or microorganisms(ie antioxidants probiotics) and (iii) derived food ingredi-ents introduced to conventional foods (ie prebiotics) Itmayalso be referred that functional foods are not medicines suchas pills or capsules but are consumed as part of a normal dailydiet
The effectiveness of functional foods in preventing dis-eases depends on preserving the stability bioactivity andbioavailability of the active compounds [4] This represents agreat challenge because only a small proportion of moleculesremains available after oral administration usually due toinsufficient gastric residence time low permeability andorsolubility in the gut as well as instability under conditionsencountered in food processing or in the gastrointestinaltract [5] Dehydration of functional foods is an alternativeto make food products with longer shelf life and easiertransportation and manipulation However the process ofdrying food materials is extremely complex involving cou-pled transient mechanisms of heat and mass transportsaccompanied by physical chemical structural and phasechange transformation [6] Therefore the production ofdehydrated functional food will require food formulationsand production techniques to provide protectivemechanismsthat maintain the active molecular form until the time ofconsumption and its release in the physiological target withinthe organism [7 8]
The objectives of this manuscript are to present differenttechnologies to dry bioproducts for producing functionalfoods or food ingredients rich in bioactive compounds todescribe new drying technologies for the preservation ofbioactive compounds focusingmore specifically ondielectricdrying and to discuss the techniques that can be used tooptimize drying processes Moreover this review presents anoverview on dehydrated plant based foods with probiotics
2 Functional Foods
According to the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) afood might be considered functional when consumed as partof a normal food pattern and that exerts one or more targetfunctions in the human body thereby improving health statusor minimizing disease risk [9] Several organizations admitthat functional foods are ldquofoods or ingredients of foods thatprovide an additional physiological benefit beyond their basicnutritionrdquo [10] It is important to distinguish functional foodfrom nutraceutical
Due to their importance scientific research has exten-sively been developed during the last decade producingmany advances for functional foods (Figure 1)
The market of functional foods has experienced anamazing growth of around 100 from 2010 to 2017 dueto the increased consumersrsquo awareness and the interest

Functional food Probiotics Prebiotics Dehydrated
Figure 1 Number of published articles from 2000 to 2016 relatedto the concepts of ldquoFunctional foodrdquo ldquoProbioticsrdquo ldquoPrebioticsrdquo andldquoDehydrated functional foodrdquo (Web of Science 2017) [11]
in promoting healthy diets and lifestyle As examples ofalready marketed functional foods we cite the whole grainsand fibre breads (natural products) calcium-fortified milkvitamin D-fortified milk and vitamin C-fortified fruit juicesmargarine with phytosterols prebiotics (chicory roots andgarlic) probiotics (yogurt and kefir) and eggs with increasedomega-3 produced by altering chicken feed (enhanced com-modities) [12] According to Fito et al [13] the most frequentways of producing functional foods are (a) improvementof conventional natural products that is plants and animalproduction (ie eggs with a lower cholesterol content) (b)genetically modified products (ie rice with enhanced 120573-carotene content) (c) addition of functional ingredients tothe foods (ie breakfast cereals and bread) and (d) matrixengineering (ie vacuum impregnation)
The development of functional foods turns out to beincreasingly challenging as it has to fulfil the consumerrsquosexpectancy for products that are simultaneously relish andhealthy Functional ingredients such as purified bioactivecompounds or concentrated extracts from natural sourcescan be incorporated into conventional foods providingnovel functional product categories and new commercialopportunities However the challenge of ensuring that func-tional ingredients remain stable and active and bioavailableafter food processing and storage endures Therefore foodindustry developers have to takes into consideration manyvariables to develop functional products such as sensoryacceptance stability price functional properties and conve-nience
21 Bioactive Compounds in Functional Foods Recent trendshave demonstrated that bioactive molecules are interestingsources to develop many functional foods as they play amajor role in the improving health status and minimizingdisease risks Nutritionists and biomedical and food scientistsareworking together to discover newbioactivemolecules that

have increased potency and therapeutic benefits [14] Thesebioactive compounds include vitamins prebiotics bioactivepeptides carotenoids phenolic compounds phytoestrogensglucosinolates phytosterols fatty acids and structured lipidswhich are already naturally present in foods or can be addedto conventional foods to produce new functional foodsThesebioactivemolecules can be obtained either by extraction fromnatural sources or by chemical and biotechnological syn-thesis In the following the most widely discussed bioactivecompounds in literature are summarized for example phe-nolic compounds phytosterols and prebiotics Probiotics arediscussed as well while bioactive ingredients for functionalfoods
211 Phenolic Compounds Phenolic compounds are plantsecondary metabolites commonly found in plants andderived products [15]These compounds have diverse biolog-ical activity being mainly acknowledged for their preventingaction against the damage caused by oxidative stress Dueto their several physiological roles phenolic compounds areessential for the human diet and health [16] For examplephenolic acids may be about one-third of the phenoliccompounds in human diet where these substances have ahigh antioxidant activity [17]
Flavonoids are the most common and widely distributedgroup of plant phenolic compounds They comprise alarge class of plant secondary metabolites with relevantaction on the plant defense system having been reportedas important constituents of the human diet [18] Thesecompounds have attracted interest due to the discoveryof their pharmacological activities and health regulationfunction Regarding their biological activity they were previ-ously reported to have antioxidant hepatoprotective antibac-terial anti-inflammatory anticancer and antiviral effectsbesides inhibiting lipid peroxidation [19] When added tofood products flavonoids are responsible for preventingfat oxidation and protecting vitamins and enzymes whilealso contributing to food sensorial properties Tannins arepolymeric flavonoids that form the anthocyanidins pigments[20] Although the antioxidant activity of tannins has beenless reported than the activity of flavonoids recent researchstudies have shown that the degree of polymerization isrelated to the antioxidant activity in condensed and hydrol-ysed tannins of high molecular weight this activity canbe up to 15ndash30 times superior to that attributed to simplephenols [21] As it would be easily anticipated consideringthe diverse biological activity of phenolic compounds theirincorporation into food products has been largely studiedSome of the most relevant examples include meat and fishproducts pasta [22 23] ice cream cheese yogurt and otherdairy products [24 25]
212 Phytosterols Phytosterols which include plant sterolsand stanols [26] are currently among the most successfulphytochemicals for the development of functional foods withunique health claims [27]When incorporated as a functionalfood ingredient plant sterols and stanols are frequentlyesterified with a fatty acid ester to increase the solubilityin the food matrix [28] Furthermore dietary phytosterols
were reported as inhibiting the uptake of both dietary andendogenously produced cholesterol on the intestinal cells andseveral studies suggest a protective role of phytosterols againstcolon prostate and breast cancer [29] Phytosterols havebeen included in several food matrices with different degreesof effectiveness [30] While their incorporation in chocolateorange juice cheese nonfat beverages meats croissants andmuffins oil in bread and cereal bars was notmuch efficient incholesterol lowering the results were more satisfactory whenadded to fat spreads mayonnaise salad dressings milk andyogurt [31]
213 Prebiotics The International Scientific Association forProbiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) defined a prebiotic as aldquoselectively fermented ingredient that allows specific changesboth in the composition andor activity in the gastrointestinalmicroflora that confers benefits upon host wellbeing andhealthrdquo [32]This definition expands the concept of prebioticsto possibly include noncarbohydrate substances applicationsto body sites other than the gastrointestinal tract anddiverse categories other than food Actually health effects ofprebiotics are evolving but currently they include benefitsto the gastrointestinal tract (ie inhibition of pathogensimmune stimulation) cardiometabolism (ie reduction inblood lipid levels effects upon insulin resistance) mentalhealth (ie metabolites that influence brain function energyand cognition) and bone (ie mineral bioavailability) Cur-rently established prebiotics are carbohydrate-based butother substances such as polyphenols and polyunsaturatedfatty acids converted to the respective conjugated fatty acidsmight fit the updated definition assuming convincing weightof evidence in the target host To be an efficient prebiotic amolecule should possess some qualities such as it should notbe hydrolysed or absorbed in the upper part of the gut gutmicroflora should consume it and beneficial bacteria of colonshould be stimulated by it [33]
Most prebiotic candidates identified today in the worldbelong to saccharides group and can be classified according toits number of monosaccharidersquos units forming the molecules(Table 1) The major prebiotics established in the market areinulin fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and galactooligosac-charides (GOS) (Table 2) Inulin and FOSGOS and lactuloseare three major marketed prebiotics
Industrially inulin is most often extracted from chicoryThe structural relatives of inulin and FOS have been thebest-documented oligosaccharides for their effect on intesti-nal bifidobacteria and are considered important prebioticsubstrates They are produced in large quantities in severalcountries and are added to various products such as biscuitsdrinks yogurts breakfast cereals and sweeteners Inulinoccurs naturally in Western foods such as onion asparagusleek garlic wheat and artichoke although to a lesser extentthan in the commercial source chicory (Cichorium endivia)
Inulin and oligo-fructose proved to be the most widelyexamined prebiotic compounds with the most importantprebiotic efficacy [36] Now inulin is gradually being usedin functional foods particularly in a complete variety ofdairy products to enhance the intensification of the bene-ficial intestinal bacteria [37] Drabinska et al [37] studied

Various prebiotic dairy desserts having low fat contenthave been prepared using inulin as a prebiotic in whichinulin supplementation not only presented a prebiotic effectbut also reduced the fat content and sugar content (12reduction) without affecting its acceptability to consumers[39] As inulin is metabolized in different parts of the largeintestine (short-chain inulin in the proximal colon portion

and long-chain inulin in the more distal colonic portion)the use of a blend of short and long-chain inulin to increasefermentative and prebiotic effects is suggested in severalnutritional studies [40 41] Although lactulose was usedoriginally as a laxative [42] it has also received attentionas a potential prebiotic Lactulose increased lactobacilliand bifidobacteria and significantly decreased Bacteroides inmixed continuous fecal culture [43] although total bacterialnumbers decreased Lactulose has been consistently found tohave prebiotic potential in human trials Although lactuloselooks to be a very promising prebiotic it is not yet widelydistributed as such It has an established market as a medicalproduct and would seem to have much value in the foodsector
22 Probiotics as Bioactive Ingredient for Functional FoodsProbiotics are viablemicroorganisms such as lactobacilli andbifidobacteria that benefit the host by improving the intesti-nal bacterial balance [44] Multiple reports have describedtheir health benefits in gastrointestinal infections antimicro-bial activity improvement in lactose metabolism reductionin serum cholesterol immune system stimulation antimu-tagenic properties anticarcinogenic properties antidiarrhealproperties improvement in inflammatory bowel diseaseand suppression of Helicobacter pylori infection by addi-tion of selected strains to food products [45] Because oftheir perceived health benefits probiotic bacteria have beenincreasingly incorporated into a range of functional foodsincluding yogurts cheeses ice cream milk powders andfrozen dairy desserts [46]
For industrial applications probiotic strains have torespond to several criteria Barbosa and Teixeira [47] pro-vided valuable criteria
Probiotic status assessment requires demonstrationthrough human studies and a scientific and technicalguidance in presenting applications for health claims onfood has been provided by the EFSA (Reg EC 19242006)The EFSA has rejected all health claim applications onprobiotics since 2008 which reflects the need for morescientific evidence and well-designed human interventionstudies Contrary to the European standard Canada has apositive list of species that can be marketed as probioticsThis list represents a core group of well-studied species likelyto contribute to a healthy gut microbiota [48]
Each microorganism present in probiotic products mustbe identified at species and strain level according to the Inter-national Code of Nomenclature and its microbial genomemust be completely sequenced This allows the identifica-tion of every single gene involved in bacterial metabolismand its function Consequently the safety of food productsand above all of commercial probiotic strains should beevaluated before their launch on the market Generally theguidelines require (i) a minimum concentration of 109 cfuof live microorganismsdaily dose on labels (even less if theusefulness of this lower dose has been clearly shown andsupported at scientific experimental level) (ii) the identifica-tion of each probiotic strain by integrating phenotypic andgenotypic characterization (iii) the absence of pathogenicfactors [49]
Currently most of industrial functional foods containingprobiotics are mainly found in dairy products with limitedshelf life and are not suitable for consumers dealing withlactose intolerance [50] The microorganisms most usedin commercialized probiotic foods belong to genera Lacto-bacillus (Lactobacillus plantarum Lactobacillus acidophilusand Lactobacillus rhamnosus) [51 52] and Bifidobacterium(Bifidobacterium bifidum Bifidobacterium longum) [53 54]which belong to the group of lactic acid bacteria Infrequentlyother bacteria (Enterococcus faecium Lactococcus lactis) [5556] and yeasts (Saccharomyces boulardii) [57] may also beused as probiotic strains (Table 3)
Leone et al [59] studied four different conditions forthe incorporation of Lactobacillus casei in dried yacon(Smallanthus sonchifolius) which was crushed in the formof flakes The temperature of 25∘C was the most appropriatefor the incorporation of probiotics in dried yacon at the endof the 56 days Granado-Lorencio and Hernandez-Alvarez[60] stated that adding probiotics to fruit-based and cereal-based matrices was more complex than formulating dairyproducts because the bacteria need protection from theacidic conditions in these media To solve this problemmicroencapsulation technologies have been developed andsuccessfully applied using various matrices to protect thebacterial cells from the damage caused by the externalenvironment [61] Puupponen-Pimia et al [62] proposedthe encapsulation of probiotics to enhance their viabilityand stability in food matrices and controlled release duringhuman digestion A recent industrial application the Amer-ican company Kraft launched in 2008 produced the firstmass-distributed shelf stable probiotic nutrition bar by usingthe bacteria L plantarum 299v [63]
Borges et al [64] studied the effect of processing stagesto develop fruit powders (apple banana and strawberry)enriched with a probiotic strain (L plantarum 299v) Theauthors found that hot air drying of the fruit followed byaddition of spray-dried probiotic culture was better than hotair drying of the fruit incorporated with the probiotic cultureThe viability of L plantarum 299v was considerably higherduring spray drying and fruit powders with a microbialcontent suitable for a probiotic food (108ndash109 cfu gminus1) wereobtained
In all the above cases the rate of recovery of the pro-biotics to the viable state is significantly influenced by therehydration conditions (temperature volume of rehydratingmedia and rehydration time) physical properties of thematerial to be rehydrated and properties like osmolaritypH and nutritional energy of the rehydration solution Therehydration temperature is a critical factor influencing cellrecovery of freeze-dried and spray-dried probiotics Variousstudies have indicated that there is not an ldquoidealrdquo singlepoint rehydration temperature for the optimum growth ofcultures For thermophilic cultures temperature between 30and 37∘C was found best for posthydration viabilities whilethe optimum range for mesophilic bacteria is 22ndash30∘C Therehydration temperature should not be higher than 40∘C inany case [58]

3 Advances in Dehydration Technologiestowards Healthy Products
31 Drying and Its Consequences on the Product Quality andEnergy Consumption Drying is probably the most impor-tant unit operation for most industrial processes especiallybecause of its impact on the quality of the end product andon energy consumption [65] Thus according to Chua etal [66] this process would be the most energy-intensiveamong all industries with consumption of dried foods about10ndash25 of total consumption In most cases drying involvesthe application of different temperature conditions whichmay cause irreversible damage In the case of freeze dryingthe temperature applied can be minus30∘C or minus80∘C and in thecase of other methods such as air drying or spray dryingthe temperatures can be 45ndash80∘C or 125ndash140∘C respectivelyChanges may occur in cellular structures (cell membranes)
constituting probiotics cells and in key properties responsiblefor the product functionality (cell membrane permeabilitymechanical strength of the cell membrane assembly etc)[58 67 68] Moreover drying might cause changes in thechemical structures responsible for the biological value ofvarious bioactive components (protein fat) [67] Besidesdrying with hot air can induce reactions mainly of oxidationwhich decrease the functional value of nutritive compounds(vitamin antioxidant) This must be put into perspective fac-ing the high reactivity of phytochemicals leading to variousdegrees of degradation during processing [69]
Since the drying process always comprises a secondphase which is generally long to very long depending onthe hygroscopicity of the product it is mainly responsiblefor the numerous adverse effects that are linked to dryingMost organic products are in fact deeply modified by drying(colour taste texture nutritional characteristics functional

properties etc) [70] The bioactive compounds are thusparticularly altered during this drying phase Thereforeobviously this phase andor its consequences on the qualityof the dried products are sought to be reduced by new dryingtechniques and optimization of drying processes
32 Conventional Techniques Used for Drying Foods or Func-tional Ingredients The most commonly used techniques toproduce fruit or vegetable powder are freeze drying foamdrying drum drying and spray drying [71] Freeze drying isthe technique that allows the best preservation of phytochem-icals and their bioactivity in fruit and vegetable powders [71]It is themost widely used technique for drying probiotics butin view of its high operating costs and low productivity [71]spray drying seems to be a good alternative for production ofprobiotics powder at industrial scale [72]
In spray drying it is often necessary to use a carrieragent for the product to be atomized [73] Shishir and Chen[71] reported about thirty studies in the literature on thespray drying of various fruit or vegetable juices showingthat different phytochemicals (anthocyanins total flavonoidstotal polyphenol gingerol etc) were more or less preserveddepending on the type and concentration of the carrier agentused (maltodextrin Arabic gum inulin mixture of carrieragents etc)
Spray drying is also used for the drying of probioticsThecarrier agents allow the preservation of molecules of interestor probiotics by their encapsulation effect [74] Concerningprobiotics the main question is the viability of the cells afterdrying Spray drying to produce probiotic fruit powders willbe discussed in Section 4
33 Drying Kinetics versus Kinetic Degradation of Indicators ofInterest Alteration of product quality during drying is linkedto the time-temperature couple Low temperatures tend tohave a positive effect on the quality of the final productwhich is generally found in low temperature processes such asfreeze drying or vacuumdrying Similarly short drying timesallow better preservation of bioactive compounds [69] Thissituation is found for fast drying processes such as spray ordrumdrying In general degradation ofmost phytochemicalsand probiotics follows first-order or a pseudo first-orderkinetics [69] Hence good fits with first-order kinetic modelsapplied to thermal degradation of different phytochemicalswere obtained by several authors This is the case for thedegradation of anthocyanins [75ndash78] as well as polyphenols[75 78 79] However simple first-order models are notsuitable when the residual concentration of the bioactivecompound is different from 0 for a very long heating timeThe kinetics of degradation of the bioactive compound isthen described by an equation called first-order fractionalconversion kinetic model [80]
Whatever the order of the thermal degradation reactionthe rate constant of the kinetic depends on the temperatureaccording to the Arrhenius equation [75ndash77 79] and nor-mally the rate of degradation of biocompounds or probioticsis higher at high temperatures However during convectivedrying it is possible to obtain a lower degradation of somebioactive compounds such as polyphenol (total polyphenol
content TPC) and flavonoids at higher temperatures [81]The same trend was observed for TPC loss in convectivedrying of carrot peels [82] and blueberries [83] Hencethe residual content of bioactive compounds after dryingdepends at least on three parameters its initial contentthe temperature and the duration of the drying [78ndash80]Therefore to minimize the degradation of bioactive com-pounds or probiotics drying processes at low temperature(freeze drying vacuumdrying)may be used However underthese conditions the drying time will necessarily be longTherefore the alternative is to use short dryingmethods suchas spray drying drum drying dielectric drying microwavedrying and infrared (IR) drying In these cases the dryingtemperature will necessarily be high but the duration willbe short which makes it possible to limit the degradation ofbiocompounds and probiotics Clearly the kinetics of dryingmust be sufficiently rapid with respect to the kinetics ofdegradation of the compounds of interest It is approximatelyone of the targeted goals with advanced drying techniques
34 AdvancedDryingTechniques Even though freeze dryingvacuum drying or spray drying techniques limit the degra-dation of bioactive compounds they are either unsuitable forthe drying of certain products or have too low productivityand excessively high operating cost to be implemented atindustrial scale Conversely the other techniques of conven-tional drying by hot air (cabinet tunnel etc) have a strongnegative effect on the retention of bioactive compoundsFor this reason advanced drying techniques have beenproposed for many years The majority of these techniqueshave one thing in common the type of energy used whichis always of electromagnetic (EM) nature radio frequency(RF) microwave (MW) IR and ultraviolet (UV) These newtechniques can be used alone or in combination with oneanother or with conventional techniques
341 Dielectric and Microwave Drying Actually from aphysical point of view the notion of dielectric heating canbe applied to all frequencies from high frequencies to IRHowever from a practical point of view the term dielectricheating is reserved for frequencies between 1 and 100MHzwhile the MW heating is between 300MHz and 300GHz[84]
Throughout MW drying of high moisture content prod-uct the high energy density absorbed results in a rapidincrease in temperature and an instantaneous vaporizationinside the product [65] The internal pressure increases andexpulsion of liquidwater towards the surface occurs [84]Thisphenomenon has been observed by many authors in the caseof different products (cotton wood slices of oranges applecarrot etc) This outflow of water limits the phenomenonof crusting and browning of the surface contrary to what isobserved in conventional drying This also results in highdrying rates leading to considerable reduction in the dryingtime Even if the drying speed is always faster than that of hotair drying the drying efficiency is limited due to the rapidsaturation of the air whose temperature is relatively low atthe surface of the product For this reason microwaves are

generally associated with hot air to improve water transfer atthe product surface
At this stage two fundamental points radically differ-entiating dielectric drying from hot air drying should bementioned (1) during convective drying by hot air thesurface temperature of the product evolves until reaching theair temperature at the end of drying and it is worth notingthat it can in no case exceed this temperature This explainswhy it is sufficient to dry thermosensitive products at lowair temperature to prevent their alteration Regarding MWdrying there is no real limit to the temperature rise of theproduct except temperatures leading to its carbonization andits destruction (2)Given that drying involves removingwaterfrom a product this action will have a decisive effect on howthe product will behave vis-a-vis the EMwave during dryingSince water is the main molecule of the product concernedby the absorption of EM energy the dielectric properties (1205761015840and 12057610158401015840) of the product will tend to evolve during drying Formost products the values of these properties will drop duringthe two phases of the drying process [84] 12057610158401015840 falls very quicklythroughout the drying of the free water (1st phase) and then12057610158401015840 decreases with a lower slope after the critical moisturecontent corresponding to the beginning of drying of thebound water The critical moisture content is between 10 and40 (dry basis) for highly hygroscopic products and about 1for nonhygroscopic products [84] From what has just beensaid and from point (1) it could be concluded that this israther positive for controlling the temperature of the productand therefore its quality at the end of drying Things are notso simple because several other elements must be taken intoconsideration Firstly if the applied power is kept constantduring drying (as is the case in most studies in the literature)the energy density delivered to the product which can beevaluated by the specific power applied (ie the ratio betweenthe applied MW power and the mass product) increasesduring drying Kone et al [85] showed that this evolutionwas exponential with drying time in the case of drying oftomatoes by microwaveshot air In other words more andmore energy is being supplied to the product when less andless is needed The consequence of this is the phenomenaof thermal runaway reported in many studies on microwavedrying In addition another aspect must be considerednamely the change of the thermal properties of the productduring drying Indeed the thermal properties of foods alsodepend on their moisture content Thus the specific heatand the thermal diffusivity of the product decrease duringdrying Hence it takes less and less energy to heat the productand similarly an area of the product that has undergoneoverheating will find it increasingly difficult to evacuate itsoverflow of heat by diffusion All these elements make itpossible to understand that even if the dielectric properties ofthe product decrease during drying phenomena of thermalrunaway during microwave drying may arise [86] The onlysolution to control the quality of the product during amicrowave drying is therefore to control the energy supplyby adapting the specific power as a function of the moisturecontent by acting on the power applied By applying sucha strategy Kone et al [85] succeed in drying of tomato bymicrowavehot air with an improvement in the colour of the
dried product and in the residual content of lycopene Wemay conclude by saying that the management of the energysupplied to the product during drying and the optimizationtechniquesmay be useful for the control of microwave dryingin terms of organoleptic and nutritional qualities and energyconsumption
342 Hybrid Drying Techniques More and more studieshave suggested the synergistic effects of the combinationof different drying techniques on the quality of the driedproduct and on the performance of the drying process(drying time and energy consumption) Some hybrid drying(HD) techniques are presented below
(i) Microwave-Assisted Hot Air Drying (MWHAD) The sim-plest combination imaginable for microwave drying is itscombination with hot air drying It is also the one that is byfar the most used according to the literature Schiffmann [84]retains three possiblemodes from a perspective of applicationat industrial scale (1) Preheating The microwaves are used topreheat the product and subsequently the drying continueswith hot air only The instantaneous generation of steaminside the product due to the absorption of the MW energyforces the flow of water towards the surface thus allowingconventional hot air drying to operate under conditions ofmaximum efficiency (2) Booster Drying Drying starts withhot air only and the MW energy is fed when the dryingrate begins to fall The surface of the product being dry atthis point by the effect of pumping on the internal water ofthe product the MW energy leads to the rewetting of thesurface which makes it possible to maintain a high dryingrate (3) Finish Drying The falling phase of the drying rate isresponsible for the greatest degradation of the product qualitydue to its length (more than two-thirds of the total dryingtime) By introducing microwaves at the beginning of thisphase internal energy generation allows the bound water tobe pushed towards the product surface which increases thedrying rate and thus reduces the drying time
This combination of microwaves and hot air results in animprovement of the quality of the dried product as well asa reduction of the drying time and energy consumption [6584]
(ii) Microwave-Assisted Freeze Drying (MWFD) Freeze dry-ing provides a good quality of the dried product by preventingthe degradation of the thermosensitive compounds due tothe low temperature used for the sublimation of water Themajor drawback of this technique is the very long dryingtime required Hence it entails a low productivity and a largeconsumption of energy [87]The combination of microwaveswith freeze drying makes it possible to shorten the dryingtime (eg 40 in the case of the drying of protein of duck eggwhite) without modification of the nutritional quality [87]
(iii) Microwave-Assisted Vacuum Drying (MWVD) Likefreeze drying vacuum drying preserves the characteristics ofthe dried product but it also has the same drawbacks namelya long drying time and a strong energy consumption Thusthe combination of microwaves with vacuum drying allows a

better anthocyanin retention and a better antioxidant activityin the case ofMWVDof blueberries [87] In general MWVDmakes it possible to obtain dried products of a quality as goodas those obtained by freeze drying with a colour closer to thefresh product in the case of tomato carrot and banana [88]
(iv) Microwave-Assisted IR Drying (MWIRD) IR radiation ischaracterized by a shallow depth of penetration inside theproduct Therefore once the EM energy is absorbed at thesurface it is transmitted to the interior of the product byconduction which brings IR drying closer to conventionalhot air dryingThe combination of IRwithmicrowaves allowsa faster and more homogeneous heating of the product anda quicker drying of the product with an improved qualityThus in the case ofMWIRD of raspberries a 24 times highercrustiness a 2563 higher rehydration a 1755 additionalretention of anthocyanins and a 2121 higher antioxidantactivity were obtained in relation to IR drying [88]
(v) Ultrasound-Assisted Drying (UAD) Ultrasonication isone of several techniques used in the concept of hybridprocesses It has already been applied to drying amongother processes [89] The mechanical energy provided byultrasound contributes to the reduction of internal and exter-nal resistances to mass transfer and particularly to watertransfer thanks to expansion and compression cycles (spongeeffect) [81] In addition microstreaming is produced at theinterfaces because of high-intensity airborne ultrasoundwhich reduces the diffusion boundary layer This leads todiffusion enhancement and hence to mass transfer increase[81 90] Musielak et al [91] indicate that the first studieson the use of ultrasound in drying were carried out inthe 1950s However even if there is a renewed interest onthis technology in recent years it remains for the momentlimited to laboratory scale [90]
Numerous studies show the interest of combining ultra-sound with a convective drying process to reduce energyconsumption and drying time as well as to improvethe quality of the dried product Szadzinska et al [92]compared a convective drying (CVD) to different hybriddrying processesmdashconvective-ultrasonic drying (CVUD)convective-microwave-ultrasonic drying (CVMWUD) andconvective-microwave drying (CVMWD)mdashin drying ofstrawberry In all cases the hybrid processes made it possibleto obtain lower energy consumption and shorter drying timethan the convective drying The energy consumption gainwas only 64 in CVUD while it reached about 82 inCVMWUD and even 89 in CVMWD Likewise the dryingtime was reduced by 52 and 93 in CVUD and CVMWDrespectively
35 Drying Optimization The combination of several dryingtechniquesmakes it possible to obtain synergistic effects bothon the preservation of the bioactive compounds and on theenergy consumption However it is necessary to optimizethese processes since many factors of the process can have adecisive impact on the quality of the dried product In thepast years the food processes optimization was performedby observing the effect of variation of a single variable at
a time on an experimental response keeping constant allothers This technique has the disadvantage of requiringnumerous tests and it does not take into account the effect ofinteractions between variables on the assessed responses [93]These difficulties can be circumvented using the ResponseSurfaceMethodology (RSM)Thismethod consists in linkingeach studied response of the process to the different inputs(the factors) by means of a quadratic model [93] Thismethod is regularly used for the optimization of dryingprocesses as reported by different authors The goal pursuedin these different studies was to optimize drying conditionsfor preserving certain bioactive compounds such as beta-carotene and lycopene phenolic compounds and antioxidantactivity [94] vitamin C flavonoids and anthocyanins [95]
In fact RSM is a relatively efficient method for theoptimization of drying processes or others Nonetheless ithas some limitations (1) it uses a priori models Indeedwhatever the response studied a quadratic model is postu-lated which is not always adequate (2) The number of teststo be carried out increases very quickly with the numberof factors Thus a three-factor Box Behnken Design (BBD)requires 13 experiments whereas it is necessary to carry out29 experiments for a four-factor BBD (3) the factors mustbe fully independent (4) the uncontrolled factors of the plancannot be taken into account
These difficulties can be overcome using a methodproposed by Lesty [96] based on a new approach theCORICO method (ICOnographic CORrelation) CORICOis a multidimensional data analysis method that also allowsexperimental design analysis Its peculiarity with conven-tional optimization software based on the RSMmethodologyis that it does not use a priori models for the responsesIndeed it proposes a model only after the data analysis of theexperimental design (ED) Hence the shape of the modelswill be different from one response to another CORICOproposes regression models whose regressors are logicalinteractions (AND exclusiveOR IF etc) between the factorsUnlike conventional EDs CORICO accepts that factors arelinked and moreover it may take into account noncontrolledfactors Furthermore it requires very few tests to establish themodels of the ED Thus a CORICO design with five factorsrequires only 13 assays against a minimum of 31 assays for afive-factor Doehlert design
TheCORICOmethod has recently been used successfullyin the agrofood sector for the optimization of microalgaedrying process [97]
4 Dehydrated Foods with Probiotics
Due to the low stability of probiotic strains the food industryis facing a challenge to develop new functional food withprobiotics especially dehydrated food products Drying pro-biotic foods is a challenge as it causes severe loss in viabilityof probiotics
Generally food products are dried in order to increasetheir shelf life at ambient temperature and to reduce the costof frozen storage [58] Hot air drying freeze drying sprayand vacuum drying are the common technologies used fordrying food products Spray drying is the most common

and economical method for drying liquid foods Howeverthis process leads to a loss of viability of probiotic cells dueto the high temperature mechanical shearing dehydrationand osmotic pressure [98] On the other hand freeze dryingmaintains the viability of the probiotic cells but the cost ofthe process is one of the limitation for industrial application[99] Saarela et al [100] studied the stability and functionalityof freeze-dried probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactisE-2010 (Bb-12) cells during storage in juice and milk usingsucrose as cryoprotectant and low-pH to improve stabilityRecently fluidized bed drying and radiant energy undervacuum drying techniques have successfully been applied forimproving the stability of dehydrated probiotics [50 101]Noorbakhsh et al [50] studied the radiant energy undervacuum technology for producing probiotic enriched applesnacks They concluded that this technology a form ofvacuum microwave dehydration is a rapid drying methodresulting in productswith unique characteristicswhile retain-ing biological functions and properties The retention ofbiological activity is enhanced by the low drying temperatureand short drying time In the case of fruits and vegetablesthe gas and liquid in the intercellular spaces (20ndash25 ofthe total volume) can be removed by means of vacuumand replaced by diffusion with compounds of interest suchas microorganisms (bacteria L rhamnosus for example)minerals or other bioactive and nonbioactive compounds[10] This would lead to the development probiotic enricheddried fruits by vacuum impregnation The apple pieces wereair-dried at 40∘C to a water content of 037 kg water kgDMminus1and stored at room temperature for two months [50] Thecontent of L casei viable cells in the dried apple was greaterthan 106 cfu gminus1 which is similar to that in commercial dairyproducts In an attempt to introduce probiotic propertiesto breakfast cereals and similar food products Patel et al[102] confirmed that oat bran contained balanced nutrientsto support a 25-fold L plantarum propagation within arange of moisture content from 50 to 58 after 36 hof cultivation They applied the technique of solid-statefermentation This technique presents not only the potentialof simple downstream processing but also a more naturalgrowth environment for the target bacterium Consequencesof increasedmicrobial growth with lowwater content includeslowdown of the growth of spoilage microorganisms and thegeneration of microbial metabolites which in turn providea range of health benefits (Figure 2) On the other handthe adequacy of raw materials with regard to probioticstechnology (including finding solutions for the stability andviability problems of probiotics in food matrices such asfruits cereals and other vegetables) is certainly the key in theresearch and development area for functional food markets[50]
Some nondairy products with probiotics have been devel-oped in order to surpass the two main drawbacks of theconsumption of dairy products namely lactose intoleranceand the cholesterol content [104] In Table 4 are describedsome of the dehydrated functional plant foods that have beendeveloped Apple is still the preferred base although otherplant products may be used Nevertheless the fruit matrix isan important parameter to take into account because those

more porous fruits seem to facilitate the incorporation ofprobiotics in their tissues during immersion [105] andorduring vacuum impregnation [13] The probiotics testedinclude several bacteria Lactobacillus spp and Bifidobac-terium spp being among the strains most commonly usedBesides being generally considered to be safe for consumerssome Lactobacillus spp show interesting health effects Forexample Betoret et al [106] verified that Lactobacillus sali-varius incorporated in a low moisture apple snack showed apotential effect against H pylori infection
All studies performed until now tried to create a dry fruitmatrix with a high number of viable probiotic cells (gt1 times107 cfu gminus1) as suggested by Betoret et al [106] and Rego etal [107] To achieve this value it is important to (i) have ahigh cell concentration (approx 1010 cfumlminus1) in the initialsuspension in which the product will be immersed (ii) guar-antee a high adherence of the probiotics to the fruit matrixand (iii) assure that after drying the adhered cells still havehigh viability [107] Furthermore it is also important that theimpregnation liquid must present certain physicochemicalcharacteristics namely (i) the pH of the impregnation liquidand the fruitmust be suitable formicroorganismsrsquo growth (ii)the viscosity of the impregnation liquid should also allow fluxinside the pores or intercellular spaces and (iii) the naturalcharacteristics of the impregnated fruit should not be affected[106] Another important point to consider is the methodused to promote cells adherence because it might influencetheir viability By observing Table 4 vacuum impregnationis the most used method for probiotics impregnation intofruit matrices Nevertheless Rego et al [107] verified thatapple cubes that had been subjected to immersion undervacuum presented lower viable numbers of probiotic bacteriathan those cubes subjected to immersion at normal pressureand so no advantage such as the increase of the number ofadhered cells or the stability during drying was observed byusing vacuum Furthermore the vacuum immersed sampleshad worse visual aspect (with more damage) after dryingthan immersed samples at atmospheric pressure [107] Whenpreparing cylindrically shaped apple samples with probioticsBetoret et al [104] also observed that vacuum impregnationseemed to decrease the microbial content by one logarithmic

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

(time temperature atmosphere composition and others)Experimental studies have been conducted to reduce suchlosses by using pretreatments selection of adequate dryingmethods use of novel methods of drying and optimizationof drying conditions In the literature the methods reportedfor drying of food materials vary from solar techniques torecently developed microwave and heat pump drying [163ndash165] An overview of phytochemical losses prior to or duringdrying is provided in Table 7 From this table it becomesapparent that inert gas drying spray drying and freeze
drying produce negligiblelow losses of phytochemicals andvitamins namely carotene and vitamin C while microwavedrying results in high losses of carotenoids

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

incorporation of bioactive compounds such as vitamins pre-biotics carotenoids phenolic compounds and phytosterolsin food systems provides a way to develop novel functionalfoods that may present health benefits or reduce the risk ofdisease [3]
Functional foods could be (i) usual foods with naturallyoccurring bioactive substances (ie dietary fibre) (ii) foodssupplemented with bioactive substances or microorganisms(ie antioxidants probiotics) and (iii) derived food ingredi-ents introduced to conventional foods (ie prebiotics) Itmayalso be referred that functional foods are not medicines suchas pills or capsules but are consumed as part of a normal dailydiet
The effectiveness of functional foods in preventing dis-eases depends on preserving the stability bioactivity andbioavailability of the active compounds [4] This represents agreat challenge because only a small proportion of moleculesremains available after oral administration usually due toinsufficient gastric residence time low permeability andorsolubility in the gut as well as instability under conditionsencountered in food processing or in the gastrointestinaltract [5] Dehydration of functional foods is an alternativeto make food products with longer shelf life and easiertransportation and manipulation However the process ofdrying food materials is extremely complex involving cou-pled transient mechanisms of heat and mass transportsaccompanied by physical chemical structural and phasechange transformation [6] Therefore the production ofdehydrated functional food will require food formulationsand production techniques to provide protectivemechanismsthat maintain the active molecular form until the time ofconsumption and its release in the physiological target withinthe organism [7 8]
The objectives of this manuscript are to present differenttechnologies to dry bioproducts for producing functionalfoods or food ingredients rich in bioactive compounds todescribe new drying technologies for the preservation ofbioactive compounds focusingmore specifically ondielectricdrying and to discuss the techniques that can be used tooptimize drying processes Moreover this review presents anoverview on dehydrated plant based foods with probiotics
2 Functional Foods
According to the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) afood might be considered functional when consumed as partof a normal food pattern and that exerts one or more targetfunctions in the human body thereby improving health statusor minimizing disease risk [9] Several organizations admitthat functional foods are ldquofoods or ingredients of foods thatprovide an additional physiological benefit beyond their basicnutritionrdquo [10] It is important to distinguish functional foodfrom nutraceutical
Due to their importance scientific research has exten-sively been developed during the last decade producingmany advances for functional foods (Figure 1)
The market of functional foods has experienced anamazing growth of around 100 from 2010 to 2017 dueto the increased consumersrsquo awareness and the interest

Functional food Probiotics Prebiotics Dehydrated
Figure 1 Number of published articles from 2000 to 2016 relatedto the concepts of ldquoFunctional foodrdquo ldquoProbioticsrdquo ldquoPrebioticsrdquo andldquoDehydrated functional foodrdquo (Web of Science 2017) [11]
in promoting healthy diets and lifestyle As examples ofalready marketed functional foods we cite the whole grainsand fibre breads (natural products) calcium-fortified milkvitamin D-fortified milk and vitamin C-fortified fruit juicesmargarine with phytosterols prebiotics (chicory roots andgarlic) probiotics (yogurt and kefir) and eggs with increasedomega-3 produced by altering chicken feed (enhanced com-modities) [12] According to Fito et al [13] the most frequentways of producing functional foods are (a) improvementof conventional natural products that is plants and animalproduction (ie eggs with a lower cholesterol content) (b)genetically modified products (ie rice with enhanced 120573-carotene content) (c) addition of functional ingredients tothe foods (ie breakfast cereals and bread) and (d) matrixengineering (ie vacuum impregnation)
The development of functional foods turns out to beincreasingly challenging as it has to fulfil the consumerrsquosexpectancy for products that are simultaneously relish andhealthy Functional ingredients such as purified bioactivecompounds or concentrated extracts from natural sourcescan be incorporated into conventional foods providingnovel functional product categories and new commercialopportunities However the challenge of ensuring that func-tional ingredients remain stable and active and bioavailableafter food processing and storage endures Therefore foodindustry developers have to takes into consideration manyvariables to develop functional products such as sensoryacceptance stability price functional properties and conve-nience
21 Bioactive Compounds in Functional Foods Recent trendshave demonstrated that bioactive molecules are interestingsources to develop many functional foods as they play amajor role in the improving health status and minimizingdisease risks Nutritionists and biomedical and food scientistsareworking together to discover newbioactivemolecules that
Journal of Food Quality 3
have increased potency and therapeutic benefits [14] Thesebioactive compounds include vitamins prebiotics bioactivepeptides carotenoids phenolic compounds phytoestrogensglucosinolates phytosterols fatty acids and structured lipidswhich are already naturally present in foods or can be addedto conventional foods to produce new functional foodsThesebioactivemolecules can be obtained either by extraction fromnatural sources or by chemical and biotechnological syn-thesis In the following the most widely discussed bioactivecompounds in literature are summarized for example phe-nolic compounds phytosterols and prebiotics Probiotics arediscussed as well while bioactive ingredients for functionalfoods
211 Phenolic Compounds Phenolic compounds are plantsecondary metabolites commonly found in plants andderived products [15]These compounds have diverse biolog-ical activity being mainly acknowledged for their preventingaction against the damage caused by oxidative stress Dueto their several physiological roles phenolic compounds areessential for the human diet and health [16] For examplephenolic acids may be about one-third of the phenoliccompounds in human diet where these substances have ahigh antioxidant activity [17]
Flavonoids are the most common and widely distributedgroup of plant phenolic compounds They comprise alarge class of plant secondary metabolites with relevantaction on the plant defense system having been reportedas important constituents of the human diet [18] Thesecompounds have attracted interest due to the discoveryof their pharmacological activities and health regulationfunction Regarding their biological activity they were previ-ously reported to have antioxidant hepatoprotective antibac-terial anti-inflammatory anticancer and antiviral effectsbesides inhibiting lipid peroxidation [19] When added tofood products flavonoids are responsible for preventingfat oxidation and protecting vitamins and enzymes whilealso contributing to food sensorial properties Tannins arepolymeric flavonoids that form the anthocyanidins pigments[20] Although the antioxidant activity of tannins has beenless reported than the activity of flavonoids recent researchstudies have shown that the degree of polymerization isrelated to the antioxidant activity in condensed and hydrol-ysed tannins of high molecular weight this activity canbe up to 15ndash30 times superior to that attributed to simplephenols [21] As it would be easily anticipated consideringthe diverse biological activity of phenolic compounds theirincorporation into food products has been largely studiedSome of the most relevant examples include meat and fishproducts pasta [22 23] ice cream cheese yogurt and otherdairy products [24 25]
212 Phytosterols Phytosterols which include plant sterolsand stanols [26] are currently among the most successfulphytochemicals for the development of functional foods withunique health claims [27]When incorporated as a functionalfood ingredient plant sterols and stanols are frequentlyesterified with a fatty acid ester to increase the solubilityin the food matrix [28] Furthermore dietary phytosterols
were reported as inhibiting the uptake of both dietary andendogenously produced cholesterol on the intestinal cells andseveral studies suggest a protective role of phytosterols againstcolon prostate and breast cancer [29] Phytosterols havebeen included in several food matrices with different degreesof effectiveness [30] While their incorporation in chocolateorange juice cheese nonfat beverages meats croissants andmuffins oil in bread and cereal bars was notmuch efficient incholesterol lowering the results were more satisfactory whenadded to fat spreads mayonnaise salad dressings milk andyogurt [31]
213 Prebiotics The International Scientific Association forProbiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) defined a prebiotic as aldquoselectively fermented ingredient that allows specific changesboth in the composition andor activity in the gastrointestinalmicroflora that confers benefits upon host wellbeing andhealthrdquo [32]This definition expands the concept of prebioticsto possibly include noncarbohydrate substances applicationsto body sites other than the gastrointestinal tract anddiverse categories other than food Actually health effects ofprebiotics are evolving but currently they include benefitsto the gastrointestinal tract (ie inhibition of pathogensimmune stimulation) cardiometabolism (ie reduction inblood lipid levels effects upon insulin resistance) mentalhealth (ie metabolites that influence brain function energyand cognition) and bone (ie mineral bioavailability) Cur-rently established prebiotics are carbohydrate-based butother substances such as polyphenols and polyunsaturatedfatty acids converted to the respective conjugated fatty acidsmight fit the updated definition assuming convincing weightof evidence in the target host To be an efficient prebiotic amolecule should possess some qualities such as it should notbe hydrolysed or absorbed in the upper part of the gut gutmicroflora should consume it and beneficial bacteria of colonshould be stimulated by it [33]
Most prebiotic candidates identified today in the worldbelong to saccharides group and can be classified according toits number of monosaccharidersquos units forming the molecules(Table 1) The major prebiotics established in the market areinulin fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and galactooligosac-charides (GOS) (Table 2) Inulin and FOSGOS and lactuloseare three major marketed prebiotics
Industrially inulin is most often extracted from chicoryThe structural relatives of inulin and FOS have been thebest-documented oligosaccharides for their effect on intesti-nal bifidobacteria and are considered important prebioticsubstrates They are produced in large quantities in severalcountries and are added to various products such as biscuitsdrinks yogurts breakfast cereals and sweeteners Inulinoccurs naturally in Western foods such as onion asparagusleek garlic wheat and artichoke although to a lesser extentthan in the commercial source chicory (Cichorium endivia)
Inulin and oligo-fructose proved to be the most widelyexamined prebiotic compounds with the most importantprebiotic efficacy [36] Now inulin is gradually being usedin functional foods particularly in a complete variety ofdairy products to enhance the intensification of the bene-ficial intestinal bacteria [37] Drabinska et al [37] studied

Various prebiotic dairy desserts having low fat contenthave been prepared using inulin as a prebiotic in whichinulin supplementation not only presented a prebiotic effectbut also reduced the fat content and sugar content (12reduction) without affecting its acceptability to consumers[39] As inulin is metabolized in different parts of the largeintestine (short-chain inulin in the proximal colon portion

and long-chain inulin in the more distal colonic portion)the use of a blend of short and long-chain inulin to increasefermentative and prebiotic effects is suggested in severalnutritional studies [40 41] Although lactulose was usedoriginally as a laxative [42] it has also received attentionas a potential prebiotic Lactulose increased lactobacilliand bifidobacteria and significantly decreased Bacteroides inmixed continuous fecal culture [43] although total bacterialnumbers decreased Lactulose has been consistently found tohave prebiotic potential in human trials Although lactuloselooks to be a very promising prebiotic it is not yet widelydistributed as such It has an established market as a medicalproduct and would seem to have much value in the foodsector
22 Probiotics as Bioactive Ingredient for Functional FoodsProbiotics are viablemicroorganisms such as lactobacilli andbifidobacteria that benefit the host by improving the intesti-nal bacterial balance [44] Multiple reports have describedtheir health benefits in gastrointestinal infections antimicro-bial activity improvement in lactose metabolism reductionin serum cholesterol immune system stimulation antimu-tagenic properties anticarcinogenic properties antidiarrhealproperties improvement in inflammatory bowel diseaseand suppression of Helicobacter pylori infection by addi-tion of selected strains to food products [45] Because oftheir perceived health benefits probiotic bacteria have beenincreasingly incorporated into a range of functional foodsincluding yogurts cheeses ice cream milk powders andfrozen dairy desserts [46]
For industrial applications probiotic strains have torespond to several criteria Barbosa and Teixeira [47] pro-vided valuable criteria
Probiotic status assessment requires demonstrationthrough human studies and a scientific and technicalguidance in presenting applications for health claims onfood has been provided by the EFSA (Reg EC 19242006)The EFSA has rejected all health claim applications onprobiotics since 2008 which reflects the need for morescientific evidence and well-designed human interventionstudies Contrary to the European standard Canada has apositive list of species that can be marketed as probioticsThis list represents a core group of well-studied species likelyto contribute to a healthy gut microbiota [48]
Each microorganism present in probiotic products mustbe identified at species and strain level according to the Inter-national Code of Nomenclature and its microbial genomemust be completely sequenced This allows the identifica-tion of every single gene involved in bacterial metabolismand its function Consequently the safety of food productsand above all of commercial probiotic strains should beevaluated before their launch on the market Generally theguidelines require (i) a minimum concentration of 109 cfuof live microorganismsdaily dose on labels (even less if theusefulness of this lower dose has been clearly shown andsupported at scientific experimental level) (ii) the identifica-tion of each probiotic strain by integrating phenotypic andgenotypic characterization (iii) the absence of pathogenicfactors [49]
Currently most of industrial functional foods containingprobiotics are mainly found in dairy products with limitedshelf life and are not suitable for consumers dealing withlactose intolerance [50] The microorganisms most usedin commercialized probiotic foods belong to genera Lacto-bacillus (Lactobacillus plantarum Lactobacillus acidophilusand Lactobacillus rhamnosus) [51 52] and Bifidobacterium(Bifidobacterium bifidum Bifidobacterium longum) [53 54]which belong to the group of lactic acid bacteria Infrequentlyother bacteria (Enterococcus faecium Lactococcus lactis) [5556] and yeasts (Saccharomyces boulardii) [57] may also beused as probiotic strains (Table 3)
Leone et al [59] studied four different conditions forthe incorporation of Lactobacillus casei in dried yacon(Smallanthus sonchifolius) which was crushed in the formof flakes The temperature of 25∘C was the most appropriatefor the incorporation of probiotics in dried yacon at the endof the 56 days Granado-Lorencio and Hernandez-Alvarez[60] stated that adding probiotics to fruit-based and cereal-based matrices was more complex than formulating dairyproducts because the bacteria need protection from theacidic conditions in these media To solve this problemmicroencapsulation technologies have been developed andsuccessfully applied using various matrices to protect thebacterial cells from the damage caused by the externalenvironment [61] Puupponen-Pimia et al [62] proposedthe encapsulation of probiotics to enhance their viabilityand stability in food matrices and controlled release duringhuman digestion A recent industrial application the Amer-ican company Kraft launched in 2008 produced the firstmass-distributed shelf stable probiotic nutrition bar by usingthe bacteria L plantarum 299v [63]
Borges et al [64] studied the effect of processing stagesto develop fruit powders (apple banana and strawberry)enriched with a probiotic strain (L plantarum 299v) Theauthors found that hot air drying of the fruit followed byaddition of spray-dried probiotic culture was better than hotair drying of the fruit incorporated with the probiotic cultureThe viability of L plantarum 299v was considerably higherduring spray drying and fruit powders with a microbialcontent suitable for a probiotic food (108ndash109 cfu gminus1) wereobtained
In all the above cases the rate of recovery of the pro-biotics to the viable state is significantly influenced by therehydration conditions (temperature volume of rehydratingmedia and rehydration time) physical properties of thematerial to be rehydrated and properties like osmolaritypH and nutritional energy of the rehydration solution Therehydration temperature is a critical factor influencing cellrecovery of freeze-dried and spray-dried probiotics Variousstudies have indicated that there is not an ldquoidealrdquo singlepoint rehydration temperature for the optimum growth ofcultures For thermophilic cultures temperature between 30and 37∘C was found best for posthydration viabilities whilethe optimum range for mesophilic bacteria is 22ndash30∘C Therehydration temperature should not be higher than 40∘C inany case [58]

3 Advances in Dehydration Technologiestowards Healthy Products
31 Drying and Its Consequences on the Product Quality andEnergy Consumption Drying is probably the most impor-tant unit operation for most industrial processes especiallybecause of its impact on the quality of the end product andon energy consumption [65] Thus according to Chua etal [66] this process would be the most energy-intensiveamong all industries with consumption of dried foods about10ndash25 of total consumption In most cases drying involvesthe application of different temperature conditions whichmay cause irreversible damage In the case of freeze dryingthe temperature applied can be minus30∘C or minus80∘C and in thecase of other methods such as air drying or spray dryingthe temperatures can be 45ndash80∘C or 125ndash140∘C respectivelyChanges may occur in cellular structures (cell membranes)
constituting probiotics cells and in key properties responsiblefor the product functionality (cell membrane permeabilitymechanical strength of the cell membrane assembly etc)[58 67 68] Moreover drying might cause changes in thechemical structures responsible for the biological value ofvarious bioactive components (protein fat) [67] Besidesdrying with hot air can induce reactions mainly of oxidationwhich decrease the functional value of nutritive compounds(vitamin antioxidant) This must be put into perspective fac-ing the high reactivity of phytochemicals leading to variousdegrees of degradation during processing [69]
Since the drying process always comprises a secondphase which is generally long to very long depending onthe hygroscopicity of the product it is mainly responsiblefor the numerous adverse effects that are linked to dryingMost organic products are in fact deeply modified by drying(colour taste texture nutritional characteristics functional

properties etc) [70] The bioactive compounds are thusparticularly altered during this drying phase Thereforeobviously this phase andor its consequences on the qualityof the dried products are sought to be reduced by new dryingtechniques and optimization of drying processes
32 Conventional Techniques Used for Drying Foods or Func-tional Ingredients The most commonly used techniques toproduce fruit or vegetable powder are freeze drying foamdrying drum drying and spray drying [71] Freeze drying isthe technique that allows the best preservation of phytochem-icals and their bioactivity in fruit and vegetable powders [71]It is themost widely used technique for drying probiotics butin view of its high operating costs and low productivity [71]spray drying seems to be a good alternative for production ofprobiotics powder at industrial scale [72]
In spray drying it is often necessary to use a carrieragent for the product to be atomized [73] Shishir and Chen[71] reported about thirty studies in the literature on thespray drying of various fruit or vegetable juices showingthat different phytochemicals (anthocyanins total flavonoidstotal polyphenol gingerol etc) were more or less preserveddepending on the type and concentration of the carrier agentused (maltodextrin Arabic gum inulin mixture of carrieragents etc)
Spray drying is also used for the drying of probioticsThecarrier agents allow the preservation of molecules of interestor probiotics by their encapsulation effect [74] Concerningprobiotics the main question is the viability of the cells afterdrying Spray drying to produce probiotic fruit powders willbe discussed in Section 4
33 Drying Kinetics versus Kinetic Degradation of Indicators ofInterest Alteration of product quality during drying is linkedto the time-temperature couple Low temperatures tend tohave a positive effect on the quality of the final productwhich is generally found in low temperature processes such asfreeze drying or vacuumdrying Similarly short drying timesallow better preservation of bioactive compounds [69] Thissituation is found for fast drying processes such as spray ordrumdrying In general degradation ofmost phytochemicalsand probiotics follows first-order or a pseudo first-orderkinetics [69] Hence good fits with first-order kinetic modelsapplied to thermal degradation of different phytochemicalswere obtained by several authors This is the case for thedegradation of anthocyanins [75ndash78] as well as polyphenols[75 78 79] However simple first-order models are notsuitable when the residual concentration of the bioactivecompound is different from 0 for a very long heating timeThe kinetics of degradation of the bioactive compound isthen described by an equation called first-order fractionalconversion kinetic model [80]
Whatever the order of the thermal degradation reactionthe rate constant of the kinetic depends on the temperatureaccording to the Arrhenius equation [75ndash77 79] and nor-mally the rate of degradation of biocompounds or probioticsis higher at high temperatures However during convectivedrying it is possible to obtain a lower degradation of somebioactive compounds such as polyphenol (total polyphenol
content TPC) and flavonoids at higher temperatures [81]The same trend was observed for TPC loss in convectivedrying of carrot peels [82] and blueberries [83] Hencethe residual content of bioactive compounds after dryingdepends at least on three parameters its initial contentthe temperature and the duration of the drying [78ndash80]Therefore to minimize the degradation of bioactive com-pounds or probiotics drying processes at low temperature(freeze drying vacuumdrying)may be used However underthese conditions the drying time will necessarily be longTherefore the alternative is to use short dryingmethods suchas spray drying drum drying dielectric drying microwavedrying and infrared (IR) drying In these cases the dryingtemperature will necessarily be high but the duration willbe short which makes it possible to limit the degradation ofbiocompounds and probiotics Clearly the kinetics of dryingmust be sufficiently rapid with respect to the kinetics ofdegradation of the compounds of interest It is approximatelyone of the targeted goals with advanced drying techniques
34 AdvancedDryingTechniques Even though freeze dryingvacuum drying or spray drying techniques limit the degra-dation of bioactive compounds they are either unsuitable forthe drying of certain products or have too low productivityand excessively high operating cost to be implemented atindustrial scale Conversely the other techniques of conven-tional drying by hot air (cabinet tunnel etc) have a strongnegative effect on the retention of bioactive compoundsFor this reason advanced drying techniques have beenproposed for many years The majority of these techniqueshave one thing in common the type of energy used whichis always of electromagnetic (EM) nature radio frequency(RF) microwave (MW) IR and ultraviolet (UV) These newtechniques can be used alone or in combination with oneanother or with conventional techniques
341 Dielectric and Microwave Drying Actually from aphysical point of view the notion of dielectric heating canbe applied to all frequencies from high frequencies to IRHowever from a practical point of view the term dielectricheating is reserved for frequencies between 1 and 100MHzwhile the MW heating is between 300MHz and 300GHz[84]
Throughout MW drying of high moisture content prod-uct the high energy density absorbed results in a rapidincrease in temperature and an instantaneous vaporizationinside the product [65] The internal pressure increases andexpulsion of liquidwater towards the surface occurs [84]Thisphenomenon has been observed by many authors in the caseof different products (cotton wood slices of oranges applecarrot etc) This outflow of water limits the phenomenonof crusting and browning of the surface contrary to what isobserved in conventional drying This also results in highdrying rates leading to considerable reduction in the dryingtime Even if the drying speed is always faster than that of hotair drying the drying efficiency is limited due to the rapidsaturation of the air whose temperature is relatively low atthe surface of the product For this reason microwaves are

generally associated with hot air to improve water transfer atthe product surface
At this stage two fundamental points radically differ-entiating dielectric drying from hot air drying should bementioned (1) during convective drying by hot air thesurface temperature of the product evolves until reaching theair temperature at the end of drying and it is worth notingthat it can in no case exceed this temperature This explainswhy it is sufficient to dry thermosensitive products at lowair temperature to prevent their alteration Regarding MWdrying there is no real limit to the temperature rise of theproduct except temperatures leading to its carbonization andits destruction (2)Given that drying involves removingwaterfrom a product this action will have a decisive effect on howthe product will behave vis-a-vis the EMwave during dryingSince water is the main molecule of the product concernedby the absorption of EM energy the dielectric properties (1205761015840and 12057610158401015840) of the product will tend to evolve during drying Formost products the values of these properties will drop duringthe two phases of the drying process [84] 12057610158401015840 falls very quicklythroughout the drying of the free water (1st phase) and then12057610158401015840 decreases with a lower slope after the critical moisturecontent corresponding to the beginning of drying of thebound water The critical moisture content is between 10 and40 (dry basis) for highly hygroscopic products and about 1for nonhygroscopic products [84] From what has just beensaid and from point (1) it could be concluded that this israther positive for controlling the temperature of the productand therefore its quality at the end of drying Things are notso simple because several other elements must be taken intoconsideration Firstly if the applied power is kept constantduring drying (as is the case in most studies in the literature)the energy density delivered to the product which can beevaluated by the specific power applied (ie the ratio betweenthe applied MW power and the mass product) increasesduring drying Kone et al [85] showed that this evolutionwas exponential with drying time in the case of drying oftomatoes by microwaveshot air In other words more andmore energy is being supplied to the product when less andless is needed The consequence of this is the phenomenaof thermal runaway reported in many studies on microwavedrying In addition another aspect must be considerednamely the change of the thermal properties of the productduring drying Indeed the thermal properties of foods alsodepend on their moisture content Thus the specific heatand the thermal diffusivity of the product decrease duringdrying Hence it takes less and less energy to heat the productand similarly an area of the product that has undergoneoverheating will find it increasingly difficult to evacuate itsoverflow of heat by diffusion All these elements make itpossible to understand that even if the dielectric properties ofthe product decrease during drying phenomena of thermalrunaway during microwave drying may arise [86] The onlysolution to control the quality of the product during amicrowave drying is therefore to control the energy supplyby adapting the specific power as a function of the moisturecontent by acting on the power applied By applying sucha strategy Kone et al [85] succeed in drying of tomato bymicrowavehot air with an improvement in the colour of the
dried product and in the residual content of lycopene Wemay conclude by saying that the management of the energysupplied to the product during drying and the optimizationtechniquesmay be useful for the control of microwave dryingin terms of organoleptic and nutritional qualities and energyconsumption
342 Hybrid Drying Techniques More and more studieshave suggested the synergistic effects of the combinationof different drying techniques on the quality of the driedproduct and on the performance of the drying process(drying time and energy consumption) Some hybrid drying(HD) techniques are presented below
(i) Microwave-Assisted Hot Air Drying (MWHAD) The sim-plest combination imaginable for microwave drying is itscombination with hot air drying It is also the one that is byfar the most used according to the literature Schiffmann [84]retains three possiblemodes from a perspective of applicationat industrial scale (1) Preheating The microwaves are used topreheat the product and subsequently the drying continueswith hot air only The instantaneous generation of steaminside the product due to the absorption of the MW energyforces the flow of water towards the surface thus allowingconventional hot air drying to operate under conditions ofmaximum efficiency (2) Booster Drying Drying starts withhot air only and the MW energy is fed when the dryingrate begins to fall The surface of the product being dry atthis point by the effect of pumping on the internal water ofthe product the MW energy leads to the rewetting of thesurface which makes it possible to maintain a high dryingrate (3) Finish Drying The falling phase of the drying rate isresponsible for the greatest degradation of the product qualitydue to its length (more than two-thirds of the total dryingtime) By introducing microwaves at the beginning of thisphase internal energy generation allows the bound water tobe pushed towards the product surface which increases thedrying rate and thus reduces the drying time
This combination of microwaves and hot air results in animprovement of the quality of the dried product as well asa reduction of the drying time and energy consumption [6584]
(ii) Microwave-Assisted Freeze Drying (MWFD) Freeze dry-ing provides a good quality of the dried product by preventingthe degradation of the thermosensitive compounds due tothe low temperature used for the sublimation of water Themajor drawback of this technique is the very long dryingtime required Hence it entails a low productivity and a largeconsumption of energy [87]The combination of microwaveswith freeze drying makes it possible to shorten the dryingtime (eg 40 in the case of the drying of protein of duck eggwhite) without modification of the nutritional quality [87]
(iii) Microwave-Assisted Vacuum Drying (MWVD) Likefreeze drying vacuum drying preserves the characteristics ofthe dried product but it also has the same drawbacks namelya long drying time and a strong energy consumption Thusthe combination of microwaves with vacuum drying allows a

better anthocyanin retention and a better antioxidant activityin the case ofMWVDof blueberries [87] In general MWVDmakes it possible to obtain dried products of a quality as goodas those obtained by freeze drying with a colour closer to thefresh product in the case of tomato carrot and banana [88]
(iv) Microwave-Assisted IR Drying (MWIRD) IR radiation ischaracterized by a shallow depth of penetration inside theproduct Therefore once the EM energy is absorbed at thesurface it is transmitted to the interior of the product byconduction which brings IR drying closer to conventionalhot air dryingThe combination of IRwithmicrowaves allowsa faster and more homogeneous heating of the product anda quicker drying of the product with an improved qualityThus in the case ofMWIRD of raspberries a 24 times highercrustiness a 2563 higher rehydration a 1755 additionalretention of anthocyanins and a 2121 higher antioxidantactivity were obtained in relation to IR drying [88]
(v) Ultrasound-Assisted Drying (UAD) Ultrasonication isone of several techniques used in the concept of hybridprocesses It has already been applied to drying amongother processes [89] The mechanical energy provided byultrasound contributes to the reduction of internal and exter-nal resistances to mass transfer and particularly to watertransfer thanks to expansion and compression cycles (spongeeffect) [81] In addition microstreaming is produced at theinterfaces because of high-intensity airborne ultrasoundwhich reduces the diffusion boundary layer This leads todiffusion enhancement and hence to mass transfer increase[81 90] Musielak et al [91] indicate that the first studieson the use of ultrasound in drying were carried out inthe 1950s However even if there is a renewed interest onthis technology in recent years it remains for the momentlimited to laboratory scale [90]
Numerous studies show the interest of combining ultra-sound with a convective drying process to reduce energyconsumption and drying time as well as to improvethe quality of the dried product Szadzinska et al [92]compared a convective drying (CVD) to different hybriddrying processesmdashconvective-ultrasonic drying (CVUD)convective-microwave-ultrasonic drying (CVMWUD) andconvective-microwave drying (CVMWD)mdashin drying ofstrawberry In all cases the hybrid processes made it possibleto obtain lower energy consumption and shorter drying timethan the convective drying The energy consumption gainwas only 64 in CVUD while it reached about 82 inCVMWUD and even 89 in CVMWD Likewise the dryingtime was reduced by 52 and 93 in CVUD and CVMWDrespectively
35 Drying Optimization The combination of several dryingtechniquesmakes it possible to obtain synergistic effects bothon the preservation of the bioactive compounds and on theenergy consumption However it is necessary to optimizethese processes since many factors of the process can have adecisive impact on the quality of the dried product In thepast years the food processes optimization was performedby observing the effect of variation of a single variable at
a time on an experimental response keeping constant allothers This technique has the disadvantage of requiringnumerous tests and it does not take into account the effect ofinteractions between variables on the assessed responses [93]These difficulties can be circumvented using the ResponseSurfaceMethodology (RSM)Thismethod consists in linkingeach studied response of the process to the different inputs(the factors) by means of a quadratic model [93] Thismethod is regularly used for the optimization of dryingprocesses as reported by different authors The goal pursuedin these different studies was to optimize drying conditionsfor preserving certain bioactive compounds such as beta-carotene and lycopene phenolic compounds and antioxidantactivity [94] vitamin C flavonoids and anthocyanins [95]
In fact RSM is a relatively efficient method for theoptimization of drying processes or others Nonetheless ithas some limitations (1) it uses a priori models Indeedwhatever the response studied a quadratic model is postu-lated which is not always adequate (2) The number of teststo be carried out increases very quickly with the numberof factors Thus a three-factor Box Behnken Design (BBD)requires 13 experiments whereas it is necessary to carry out29 experiments for a four-factor BBD (3) the factors mustbe fully independent (4) the uncontrolled factors of the plancannot be taken into account
These difficulties can be overcome using a methodproposed by Lesty [96] based on a new approach theCORICO method (ICOnographic CORrelation) CORICOis a multidimensional data analysis method that also allowsexperimental design analysis Its peculiarity with conven-tional optimization software based on the RSMmethodologyis that it does not use a priori models for the responsesIndeed it proposes a model only after the data analysis of theexperimental design (ED) Hence the shape of the modelswill be different from one response to another CORICOproposes regression models whose regressors are logicalinteractions (AND exclusiveOR IF etc) between the factorsUnlike conventional EDs CORICO accepts that factors arelinked and moreover it may take into account noncontrolledfactors Furthermore it requires very few tests to establish themodels of the ED Thus a CORICO design with five factorsrequires only 13 assays against a minimum of 31 assays for afive-factor Doehlert design
TheCORICOmethod has recently been used successfullyin the agrofood sector for the optimization of microalgaedrying process [97]
4 Dehydrated Foods with Probiotics
Due to the low stability of probiotic strains the food industryis facing a challenge to develop new functional food withprobiotics especially dehydrated food products Drying pro-biotic foods is a challenge as it causes severe loss in viabilityof probiotics
Generally food products are dried in order to increasetheir shelf life at ambient temperature and to reduce the costof frozen storage [58] Hot air drying freeze drying sprayand vacuum drying are the common technologies used fordrying food products Spray drying is the most common

and economical method for drying liquid foods Howeverthis process leads to a loss of viability of probiotic cells dueto the high temperature mechanical shearing dehydrationand osmotic pressure [98] On the other hand freeze dryingmaintains the viability of the probiotic cells but the cost ofthe process is one of the limitation for industrial application[99] Saarela et al [100] studied the stability and functionalityof freeze-dried probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactisE-2010 (Bb-12) cells during storage in juice and milk usingsucrose as cryoprotectant and low-pH to improve stabilityRecently fluidized bed drying and radiant energy undervacuum drying techniques have successfully been applied forimproving the stability of dehydrated probiotics [50 101]Noorbakhsh et al [50] studied the radiant energy undervacuum technology for producing probiotic enriched applesnacks They concluded that this technology a form ofvacuum microwave dehydration is a rapid drying methodresulting in productswith unique characteristicswhile retain-ing biological functions and properties The retention ofbiological activity is enhanced by the low drying temperatureand short drying time In the case of fruits and vegetablesthe gas and liquid in the intercellular spaces (20ndash25 ofthe total volume) can be removed by means of vacuumand replaced by diffusion with compounds of interest suchas microorganisms (bacteria L rhamnosus for example)minerals or other bioactive and nonbioactive compounds[10] This would lead to the development probiotic enricheddried fruits by vacuum impregnation The apple pieces wereair-dried at 40∘C to a water content of 037 kg water kgDMminus1and stored at room temperature for two months [50] Thecontent of L casei viable cells in the dried apple was greaterthan 106 cfu gminus1 which is similar to that in commercial dairyproducts In an attempt to introduce probiotic propertiesto breakfast cereals and similar food products Patel et al[102] confirmed that oat bran contained balanced nutrientsto support a 25-fold L plantarum propagation within arange of moisture content from 50 to 58 after 36 hof cultivation They applied the technique of solid-statefermentation This technique presents not only the potentialof simple downstream processing but also a more naturalgrowth environment for the target bacterium Consequencesof increasedmicrobial growth with lowwater content includeslowdown of the growth of spoilage microorganisms and thegeneration of microbial metabolites which in turn providea range of health benefits (Figure 2) On the other handthe adequacy of raw materials with regard to probioticstechnology (including finding solutions for the stability andviability problems of probiotics in food matrices such asfruits cereals and other vegetables) is certainly the key in theresearch and development area for functional food markets[50]
Some nondairy products with probiotics have been devel-oped in order to surpass the two main drawbacks of theconsumption of dairy products namely lactose intoleranceand the cholesterol content [104] In Table 4 are describedsome of the dehydrated functional plant foods that have beendeveloped Apple is still the preferred base although otherplant products may be used Nevertheless the fruit matrix isan important parameter to take into account because those

more porous fruits seem to facilitate the incorporation ofprobiotics in their tissues during immersion [105] andorduring vacuum impregnation [13] The probiotics testedinclude several bacteria Lactobacillus spp and Bifidobac-terium spp being among the strains most commonly usedBesides being generally considered to be safe for consumerssome Lactobacillus spp show interesting health effects Forexample Betoret et al [106] verified that Lactobacillus sali-varius incorporated in a low moisture apple snack showed apotential effect against H pylori infection
All studies performed until now tried to create a dry fruitmatrix with a high number of viable probiotic cells (gt1 times107 cfu gminus1) as suggested by Betoret et al [106] and Rego etal [107] To achieve this value it is important to (i) have ahigh cell concentration (approx 1010 cfumlminus1) in the initialsuspension in which the product will be immersed (ii) guar-antee a high adherence of the probiotics to the fruit matrixand (iii) assure that after drying the adhered cells still havehigh viability [107] Furthermore it is also important that theimpregnation liquid must present certain physicochemicalcharacteristics namely (i) the pH of the impregnation liquidand the fruitmust be suitable formicroorganismsrsquo growth (ii)the viscosity of the impregnation liquid should also allow fluxinside the pores or intercellular spaces and (iii) the naturalcharacteristics of the impregnated fruit should not be affected[106] Another important point to consider is the methodused to promote cells adherence because it might influencetheir viability By observing Table 4 vacuum impregnationis the most used method for probiotics impregnation intofruit matrices Nevertheless Rego et al [107] verified thatapple cubes that had been subjected to immersion undervacuum presented lower viable numbers of probiotic bacteriathan those cubes subjected to immersion at normal pressureand so no advantage such as the increase of the number ofadhered cells or the stability during drying was observed byusing vacuum Furthermore the vacuum immersed sampleshad worse visual aspect (with more damage) after dryingthan immersed samples at atmospheric pressure [107] Whenpreparing cylindrically shaped apple samples with probioticsBetoret et al [104] also observed that vacuum impregnationseemed to decrease the microbial content by one logarithmic

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

have increased potency and therapeutic benefits [14] Thesebioactive compounds include vitamins prebiotics bioactivepeptides carotenoids phenolic compounds phytoestrogensglucosinolates phytosterols fatty acids and structured lipidswhich are already naturally present in foods or can be addedto conventional foods to produce new functional foodsThesebioactivemolecules can be obtained either by extraction fromnatural sources or by chemical and biotechnological syn-thesis In the following the most widely discussed bioactivecompounds in literature are summarized for example phe-nolic compounds phytosterols and prebiotics Probiotics arediscussed as well while bioactive ingredients for functionalfoods
211 Phenolic Compounds Phenolic compounds are plantsecondary metabolites commonly found in plants andderived products [15]These compounds have diverse biolog-ical activity being mainly acknowledged for their preventingaction against the damage caused by oxidative stress Dueto their several physiological roles phenolic compounds areessential for the human diet and health [16] For examplephenolic acids may be about one-third of the phenoliccompounds in human diet where these substances have ahigh antioxidant activity [17]
Flavonoids are the most common and widely distributedgroup of plant phenolic compounds They comprise alarge class of plant secondary metabolites with relevantaction on the plant defense system having been reportedas important constituents of the human diet [18] Thesecompounds have attracted interest due to the discoveryof their pharmacological activities and health regulationfunction Regarding their biological activity they were previ-ously reported to have antioxidant hepatoprotective antibac-terial anti-inflammatory anticancer and antiviral effectsbesides inhibiting lipid peroxidation [19] When added tofood products flavonoids are responsible for preventingfat oxidation and protecting vitamins and enzymes whilealso contributing to food sensorial properties Tannins arepolymeric flavonoids that form the anthocyanidins pigments[20] Although the antioxidant activity of tannins has beenless reported than the activity of flavonoids recent researchstudies have shown that the degree of polymerization isrelated to the antioxidant activity in condensed and hydrol-ysed tannins of high molecular weight this activity canbe up to 15ndash30 times superior to that attributed to simplephenols [21] As it would be easily anticipated consideringthe diverse biological activity of phenolic compounds theirincorporation into food products has been largely studiedSome of the most relevant examples include meat and fishproducts pasta [22 23] ice cream cheese yogurt and otherdairy products [24 25]
212 Phytosterols Phytosterols which include plant sterolsand stanols [26] are currently among the most successfulphytochemicals for the development of functional foods withunique health claims [27]When incorporated as a functionalfood ingredient plant sterols and stanols are frequentlyesterified with a fatty acid ester to increase the solubilityin the food matrix [28] Furthermore dietary phytosterols
were reported as inhibiting the uptake of both dietary andendogenously produced cholesterol on the intestinal cells andseveral studies suggest a protective role of phytosterols againstcolon prostate and breast cancer [29] Phytosterols havebeen included in several food matrices with different degreesof effectiveness [30] While their incorporation in chocolateorange juice cheese nonfat beverages meats croissants andmuffins oil in bread and cereal bars was notmuch efficient incholesterol lowering the results were more satisfactory whenadded to fat spreads mayonnaise salad dressings milk andyogurt [31]
213 Prebiotics The International Scientific Association forProbiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) defined a prebiotic as aldquoselectively fermented ingredient that allows specific changesboth in the composition andor activity in the gastrointestinalmicroflora that confers benefits upon host wellbeing andhealthrdquo [32]This definition expands the concept of prebioticsto possibly include noncarbohydrate substances applicationsto body sites other than the gastrointestinal tract anddiverse categories other than food Actually health effects ofprebiotics are evolving but currently they include benefitsto the gastrointestinal tract (ie inhibition of pathogensimmune stimulation) cardiometabolism (ie reduction inblood lipid levels effects upon insulin resistance) mentalhealth (ie metabolites that influence brain function energyand cognition) and bone (ie mineral bioavailability) Cur-rently established prebiotics are carbohydrate-based butother substances such as polyphenols and polyunsaturatedfatty acids converted to the respective conjugated fatty acidsmight fit the updated definition assuming convincing weightof evidence in the target host To be an efficient prebiotic amolecule should possess some qualities such as it should notbe hydrolysed or absorbed in the upper part of the gut gutmicroflora should consume it and beneficial bacteria of colonshould be stimulated by it [33]
Most prebiotic candidates identified today in the worldbelong to saccharides group and can be classified according toits number of monosaccharidersquos units forming the molecules(Table 1) The major prebiotics established in the market areinulin fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and galactooligosac-charides (GOS) (Table 2) Inulin and FOSGOS and lactuloseare three major marketed prebiotics
Industrially inulin is most often extracted from chicoryThe structural relatives of inulin and FOS have been thebest-documented oligosaccharides for their effect on intesti-nal bifidobacteria and are considered important prebioticsubstrates They are produced in large quantities in severalcountries and are added to various products such as biscuitsdrinks yogurts breakfast cereals and sweeteners Inulinoccurs naturally in Western foods such as onion asparagusleek garlic wheat and artichoke although to a lesser extentthan in the commercial source chicory (Cichorium endivia)
Inulin and oligo-fructose proved to be the most widelyexamined prebiotic compounds with the most importantprebiotic efficacy [36] Now inulin is gradually being usedin functional foods particularly in a complete variety ofdairy products to enhance the intensification of the bene-ficial intestinal bacteria [37] Drabinska et al [37] studied

Various prebiotic dairy desserts having low fat contenthave been prepared using inulin as a prebiotic in whichinulin supplementation not only presented a prebiotic effectbut also reduced the fat content and sugar content (12reduction) without affecting its acceptability to consumers[39] As inulin is metabolized in different parts of the largeintestine (short-chain inulin in the proximal colon portion

and long-chain inulin in the more distal colonic portion)the use of a blend of short and long-chain inulin to increasefermentative and prebiotic effects is suggested in severalnutritional studies [40 41] Although lactulose was usedoriginally as a laxative [42] it has also received attentionas a potential prebiotic Lactulose increased lactobacilliand bifidobacteria and significantly decreased Bacteroides inmixed continuous fecal culture [43] although total bacterialnumbers decreased Lactulose has been consistently found tohave prebiotic potential in human trials Although lactuloselooks to be a very promising prebiotic it is not yet widelydistributed as such It has an established market as a medicalproduct and would seem to have much value in the foodsector
22 Probiotics as Bioactive Ingredient for Functional FoodsProbiotics are viablemicroorganisms such as lactobacilli andbifidobacteria that benefit the host by improving the intesti-nal bacterial balance [44] Multiple reports have describedtheir health benefits in gastrointestinal infections antimicro-bial activity improvement in lactose metabolism reductionin serum cholesterol immune system stimulation antimu-tagenic properties anticarcinogenic properties antidiarrhealproperties improvement in inflammatory bowel diseaseand suppression of Helicobacter pylori infection by addi-tion of selected strains to food products [45] Because oftheir perceived health benefits probiotic bacteria have beenincreasingly incorporated into a range of functional foodsincluding yogurts cheeses ice cream milk powders andfrozen dairy desserts [46]
For industrial applications probiotic strains have torespond to several criteria Barbosa and Teixeira [47] pro-vided valuable criteria
Probiotic status assessment requires demonstrationthrough human studies and a scientific and technicalguidance in presenting applications for health claims onfood has been provided by the EFSA (Reg EC 19242006)The EFSA has rejected all health claim applications onprobiotics since 2008 which reflects the need for morescientific evidence and well-designed human interventionstudies Contrary to the European standard Canada has apositive list of species that can be marketed as probioticsThis list represents a core group of well-studied species likelyto contribute to a healthy gut microbiota [48]
Each microorganism present in probiotic products mustbe identified at species and strain level according to the Inter-national Code of Nomenclature and its microbial genomemust be completely sequenced This allows the identifica-tion of every single gene involved in bacterial metabolismand its function Consequently the safety of food productsand above all of commercial probiotic strains should beevaluated before their launch on the market Generally theguidelines require (i) a minimum concentration of 109 cfuof live microorganismsdaily dose on labels (even less if theusefulness of this lower dose has been clearly shown andsupported at scientific experimental level) (ii) the identifica-tion of each probiotic strain by integrating phenotypic andgenotypic characterization (iii) the absence of pathogenicfactors [49]
Currently most of industrial functional foods containingprobiotics are mainly found in dairy products with limitedshelf life and are not suitable for consumers dealing withlactose intolerance [50] The microorganisms most usedin commercialized probiotic foods belong to genera Lacto-bacillus (Lactobacillus plantarum Lactobacillus acidophilusand Lactobacillus rhamnosus) [51 52] and Bifidobacterium(Bifidobacterium bifidum Bifidobacterium longum) [53 54]which belong to the group of lactic acid bacteria Infrequentlyother bacteria (Enterococcus faecium Lactococcus lactis) [5556] and yeasts (Saccharomyces boulardii) [57] may also beused as probiotic strains (Table 3)
Leone et al [59] studied four different conditions forthe incorporation of Lactobacillus casei in dried yacon(Smallanthus sonchifolius) which was crushed in the formof flakes The temperature of 25∘C was the most appropriatefor the incorporation of probiotics in dried yacon at the endof the 56 days Granado-Lorencio and Hernandez-Alvarez[60] stated that adding probiotics to fruit-based and cereal-based matrices was more complex than formulating dairyproducts because the bacteria need protection from theacidic conditions in these media To solve this problemmicroencapsulation technologies have been developed andsuccessfully applied using various matrices to protect thebacterial cells from the damage caused by the externalenvironment [61] Puupponen-Pimia et al [62] proposedthe encapsulation of probiotics to enhance their viabilityand stability in food matrices and controlled release duringhuman digestion A recent industrial application the Amer-ican company Kraft launched in 2008 produced the firstmass-distributed shelf stable probiotic nutrition bar by usingthe bacteria L plantarum 299v [63]
Borges et al [64] studied the effect of processing stagesto develop fruit powders (apple banana and strawberry)enriched with a probiotic strain (L plantarum 299v) Theauthors found that hot air drying of the fruit followed byaddition of spray-dried probiotic culture was better than hotair drying of the fruit incorporated with the probiotic cultureThe viability of L plantarum 299v was considerably higherduring spray drying and fruit powders with a microbialcontent suitable for a probiotic food (108ndash109 cfu gminus1) wereobtained
In all the above cases the rate of recovery of the pro-biotics to the viable state is significantly influenced by therehydration conditions (temperature volume of rehydratingmedia and rehydration time) physical properties of thematerial to be rehydrated and properties like osmolaritypH and nutritional energy of the rehydration solution Therehydration temperature is a critical factor influencing cellrecovery of freeze-dried and spray-dried probiotics Variousstudies have indicated that there is not an ldquoidealrdquo singlepoint rehydration temperature for the optimum growth ofcultures For thermophilic cultures temperature between 30and 37∘C was found best for posthydration viabilities whilethe optimum range for mesophilic bacteria is 22ndash30∘C Therehydration temperature should not be higher than 40∘C inany case [58]

3 Advances in Dehydration Technologiestowards Healthy Products
31 Drying and Its Consequences on the Product Quality andEnergy Consumption Drying is probably the most impor-tant unit operation for most industrial processes especiallybecause of its impact on the quality of the end product andon energy consumption [65] Thus according to Chua etal [66] this process would be the most energy-intensiveamong all industries with consumption of dried foods about10ndash25 of total consumption In most cases drying involvesthe application of different temperature conditions whichmay cause irreversible damage In the case of freeze dryingthe temperature applied can be minus30∘C or minus80∘C and in thecase of other methods such as air drying or spray dryingthe temperatures can be 45ndash80∘C or 125ndash140∘C respectivelyChanges may occur in cellular structures (cell membranes)
constituting probiotics cells and in key properties responsiblefor the product functionality (cell membrane permeabilitymechanical strength of the cell membrane assembly etc)[58 67 68] Moreover drying might cause changes in thechemical structures responsible for the biological value ofvarious bioactive components (protein fat) [67] Besidesdrying with hot air can induce reactions mainly of oxidationwhich decrease the functional value of nutritive compounds(vitamin antioxidant) This must be put into perspective fac-ing the high reactivity of phytochemicals leading to variousdegrees of degradation during processing [69]
Since the drying process always comprises a secondphase which is generally long to very long depending onthe hygroscopicity of the product it is mainly responsiblefor the numerous adverse effects that are linked to dryingMost organic products are in fact deeply modified by drying(colour taste texture nutritional characteristics functional

properties etc) [70] The bioactive compounds are thusparticularly altered during this drying phase Thereforeobviously this phase andor its consequences on the qualityof the dried products are sought to be reduced by new dryingtechniques and optimization of drying processes
32 Conventional Techniques Used for Drying Foods or Func-tional Ingredients The most commonly used techniques toproduce fruit or vegetable powder are freeze drying foamdrying drum drying and spray drying [71] Freeze drying isthe technique that allows the best preservation of phytochem-icals and their bioactivity in fruit and vegetable powders [71]It is themost widely used technique for drying probiotics butin view of its high operating costs and low productivity [71]spray drying seems to be a good alternative for production ofprobiotics powder at industrial scale [72]
In spray drying it is often necessary to use a carrieragent for the product to be atomized [73] Shishir and Chen[71] reported about thirty studies in the literature on thespray drying of various fruit or vegetable juices showingthat different phytochemicals (anthocyanins total flavonoidstotal polyphenol gingerol etc) were more or less preserveddepending on the type and concentration of the carrier agentused (maltodextrin Arabic gum inulin mixture of carrieragents etc)
Spray drying is also used for the drying of probioticsThecarrier agents allow the preservation of molecules of interestor probiotics by their encapsulation effect [74] Concerningprobiotics the main question is the viability of the cells afterdrying Spray drying to produce probiotic fruit powders willbe discussed in Section 4
33 Drying Kinetics versus Kinetic Degradation of Indicators ofInterest Alteration of product quality during drying is linkedto the time-temperature couple Low temperatures tend tohave a positive effect on the quality of the final productwhich is generally found in low temperature processes such asfreeze drying or vacuumdrying Similarly short drying timesallow better preservation of bioactive compounds [69] Thissituation is found for fast drying processes such as spray ordrumdrying In general degradation ofmost phytochemicalsand probiotics follows first-order or a pseudo first-orderkinetics [69] Hence good fits with first-order kinetic modelsapplied to thermal degradation of different phytochemicalswere obtained by several authors This is the case for thedegradation of anthocyanins [75ndash78] as well as polyphenols[75 78 79] However simple first-order models are notsuitable when the residual concentration of the bioactivecompound is different from 0 for a very long heating timeThe kinetics of degradation of the bioactive compound isthen described by an equation called first-order fractionalconversion kinetic model [80]
Whatever the order of the thermal degradation reactionthe rate constant of the kinetic depends on the temperatureaccording to the Arrhenius equation [75ndash77 79] and nor-mally the rate of degradation of biocompounds or probioticsis higher at high temperatures However during convectivedrying it is possible to obtain a lower degradation of somebioactive compounds such as polyphenol (total polyphenol
content TPC) and flavonoids at higher temperatures [81]The same trend was observed for TPC loss in convectivedrying of carrot peels [82] and blueberries [83] Hencethe residual content of bioactive compounds after dryingdepends at least on three parameters its initial contentthe temperature and the duration of the drying [78ndash80]Therefore to minimize the degradation of bioactive com-pounds or probiotics drying processes at low temperature(freeze drying vacuumdrying)may be used However underthese conditions the drying time will necessarily be longTherefore the alternative is to use short dryingmethods suchas spray drying drum drying dielectric drying microwavedrying and infrared (IR) drying In these cases the dryingtemperature will necessarily be high but the duration willbe short which makes it possible to limit the degradation ofbiocompounds and probiotics Clearly the kinetics of dryingmust be sufficiently rapid with respect to the kinetics ofdegradation of the compounds of interest It is approximatelyone of the targeted goals with advanced drying techniques
34 AdvancedDryingTechniques Even though freeze dryingvacuum drying or spray drying techniques limit the degra-dation of bioactive compounds they are either unsuitable forthe drying of certain products or have too low productivityand excessively high operating cost to be implemented atindustrial scale Conversely the other techniques of conven-tional drying by hot air (cabinet tunnel etc) have a strongnegative effect on the retention of bioactive compoundsFor this reason advanced drying techniques have beenproposed for many years The majority of these techniqueshave one thing in common the type of energy used whichis always of electromagnetic (EM) nature radio frequency(RF) microwave (MW) IR and ultraviolet (UV) These newtechniques can be used alone or in combination with oneanother or with conventional techniques
341 Dielectric and Microwave Drying Actually from aphysical point of view the notion of dielectric heating canbe applied to all frequencies from high frequencies to IRHowever from a practical point of view the term dielectricheating is reserved for frequencies between 1 and 100MHzwhile the MW heating is between 300MHz and 300GHz[84]
Throughout MW drying of high moisture content prod-uct the high energy density absorbed results in a rapidincrease in temperature and an instantaneous vaporizationinside the product [65] The internal pressure increases andexpulsion of liquidwater towards the surface occurs [84]Thisphenomenon has been observed by many authors in the caseof different products (cotton wood slices of oranges applecarrot etc) This outflow of water limits the phenomenonof crusting and browning of the surface contrary to what isobserved in conventional drying This also results in highdrying rates leading to considerable reduction in the dryingtime Even if the drying speed is always faster than that of hotair drying the drying efficiency is limited due to the rapidsaturation of the air whose temperature is relatively low atthe surface of the product For this reason microwaves are

generally associated with hot air to improve water transfer atthe product surface
At this stage two fundamental points radically differ-entiating dielectric drying from hot air drying should bementioned (1) during convective drying by hot air thesurface temperature of the product evolves until reaching theair temperature at the end of drying and it is worth notingthat it can in no case exceed this temperature This explainswhy it is sufficient to dry thermosensitive products at lowair temperature to prevent their alteration Regarding MWdrying there is no real limit to the temperature rise of theproduct except temperatures leading to its carbonization andits destruction (2)Given that drying involves removingwaterfrom a product this action will have a decisive effect on howthe product will behave vis-a-vis the EMwave during dryingSince water is the main molecule of the product concernedby the absorption of EM energy the dielectric properties (1205761015840and 12057610158401015840) of the product will tend to evolve during drying Formost products the values of these properties will drop duringthe two phases of the drying process [84] 12057610158401015840 falls very quicklythroughout the drying of the free water (1st phase) and then12057610158401015840 decreases with a lower slope after the critical moisturecontent corresponding to the beginning of drying of thebound water The critical moisture content is between 10 and40 (dry basis) for highly hygroscopic products and about 1for nonhygroscopic products [84] From what has just beensaid and from point (1) it could be concluded that this israther positive for controlling the temperature of the productand therefore its quality at the end of drying Things are notso simple because several other elements must be taken intoconsideration Firstly if the applied power is kept constantduring drying (as is the case in most studies in the literature)the energy density delivered to the product which can beevaluated by the specific power applied (ie the ratio betweenthe applied MW power and the mass product) increasesduring drying Kone et al [85] showed that this evolutionwas exponential with drying time in the case of drying oftomatoes by microwaveshot air In other words more andmore energy is being supplied to the product when less andless is needed The consequence of this is the phenomenaof thermal runaway reported in many studies on microwavedrying In addition another aspect must be considerednamely the change of the thermal properties of the productduring drying Indeed the thermal properties of foods alsodepend on their moisture content Thus the specific heatand the thermal diffusivity of the product decrease duringdrying Hence it takes less and less energy to heat the productand similarly an area of the product that has undergoneoverheating will find it increasingly difficult to evacuate itsoverflow of heat by diffusion All these elements make itpossible to understand that even if the dielectric properties ofthe product decrease during drying phenomena of thermalrunaway during microwave drying may arise [86] The onlysolution to control the quality of the product during amicrowave drying is therefore to control the energy supplyby adapting the specific power as a function of the moisturecontent by acting on the power applied By applying sucha strategy Kone et al [85] succeed in drying of tomato bymicrowavehot air with an improvement in the colour of the
dried product and in the residual content of lycopene Wemay conclude by saying that the management of the energysupplied to the product during drying and the optimizationtechniquesmay be useful for the control of microwave dryingin terms of organoleptic and nutritional qualities and energyconsumption
342 Hybrid Drying Techniques More and more studieshave suggested the synergistic effects of the combinationof different drying techniques on the quality of the driedproduct and on the performance of the drying process(drying time and energy consumption) Some hybrid drying(HD) techniques are presented below
(i) Microwave-Assisted Hot Air Drying (MWHAD) The sim-plest combination imaginable for microwave drying is itscombination with hot air drying It is also the one that is byfar the most used according to the literature Schiffmann [84]retains three possiblemodes from a perspective of applicationat industrial scale (1) Preheating The microwaves are used topreheat the product and subsequently the drying continueswith hot air only The instantaneous generation of steaminside the product due to the absorption of the MW energyforces the flow of water towards the surface thus allowingconventional hot air drying to operate under conditions ofmaximum efficiency (2) Booster Drying Drying starts withhot air only and the MW energy is fed when the dryingrate begins to fall The surface of the product being dry atthis point by the effect of pumping on the internal water ofthe product the MW energy leads to the rewetting of thesurface which makes it possible to maintain a high dryingrate (3) Finish Drying The falling phase of the drying rate isresponsible for the greatest degradation of the product qualitydue to its length (more than two-thirds of the total dryingtime) By introducing microwaves at the beginning of thisphase internal energy generation allows the bound water tobe pushed towards the product surface which increases thedrying rate and thus reduces the drying time
This combination of microwaves and hot air results in animprovement of the quality of the dried product as well asa reduction of the drying time and energy consumption [6584]
(ii) Microwave-Assisted Freeze Drying (MWFD) Freeze dry-ing provides a good quality of the dried product by preventingthe degradation of the thermosensitive compounds due tothe low temperature used for the sublimation of water Themajor drawback of this technique is the very long dryingtime required Hence it entails a low productivity and a largeconsumption of energy [87]The combination of microwaveswith freeze drying makes it possible to shorten the dryingtime (eg 40 in the case of the drying of protein of duck eggwhite) without modification of the nutritional quality [87]
(iii) Microwave-Assisted Vacuum Drying (MWVD) Likefreeze drying vacuum drying preserves the characteristics ofthe dried product but it also has the same drawbacks namelya long drying time and a strong energy consumption Thusthe combination of microwaves with vacuum drying allows a

better anthocyanin retention and a better antioxidant activityin the case ofMWVDof blueberries [87] In general MWVDmakes it possible to obtain dried products of a quality as goodas those obtained by freeze drying with a colour closer to thefresh product in the case of tomato carrot and banana [88]
(iv) Microwave-Assisted IR Drying (MWIRD) IR radiation ischaracterized by a shallow depth of penetration inside theproduct Therefore once the EM energy is absorbed at thesurface it is transmitted to the interior of the product byconduction which brings IR drying closer to conventionalhot air dryingThe combination of IRwithmicrowaves allowsa faster and more homogeneous heating of the product anda quicker drying of the product with an improved qualityThus in the case ofMWIRD of raspberries a 24 times highercrustiness a 2563 higher rehydration a 1755 additionalretention of anthocyanins and a 2121 higher antioxidantactivity were obtained in relation to IR drying [88]
(v) Ultrasound-Assisted Drying (UAD) Ultrasonication isone of several techniques used in the concept of hybridprocesses It has already been applied to drying amongother processes [89] The mechanical energy provided byultrasound contributes to the reduction of internal and exter-nal resistances to mass transfer and particularly to watertransfer thanks to expansion and compression cycles (spongeeffect) [81] In addition microstreaming is produced at theinterfaces because of high-intensity airborne ultrasoundwhich reduces the diffusion boundary layer This leads todiffusion enhancement and hence to mass transfer increase[81 90] Musielak et al [91] indicate that the first studieson the use of ultrasound in drying were carried out inthe 1950s However even if there is a renewed interest onthis technology in recent years it remains for the momentlimited to laboratory scale [90]
Numerous studies show the interest of combining ultra-sound with a convective drying process to reduce energyconsumption and drying time as well as to improvethe quality of the dried product Szadzinska et al [92]compared a convective drying (CVD) to different hybriddrying processesmdashconvective-ultrasonic drying (CVUD)convective-microwave-ultrasonic drying (CVMWUD) andconvective-microwave drying (CVMWD)mdashin drying ofstrawberry In all cases the hybrid processes made it possibleto obtain lower energy consumption and shorter drying timethan the convective drying The energy consumption gainwas only 64 in CVUD while it reached about 82 inCVMWUD and even 89 in CVMWD Likewise the dryingtime was reduced by 52 and 93 in CVUD and CVMWDrespectively
35 Drying Optimization The combination of several dryingtechniquesmakes it possible to obtain synergistic effects bothon the preservation of the bioactive compounds and on theenergy consumption However it is necessary to optimizethese processes since many factors of the process can have adecisive impact on the quality of the dried product In thepast years the food processes optimization was performedby observing the effect of variation of a single variable at
a time on an experimental response keeping constant allothers This technique has the disadvantage of requiringnumerous tests and it does not take into account the effect ofinteractions between variables on the assessed responses [93]These difficulties can be circumvented using the ResponseSurfaceMethodology (RSM)Thismethod consists in linkingeach studied response of the process to the different inputs(the factors) by means of a quadratic model [93] Thismethod is regularly used for the optimization of dryingprocesses as reported by different authors The goal pursuedin these different studies was to optimize drying conditionsfor preserving certain bioactive compounds such as beta-carotene and lycopene phenolic compounds and antioxidantactivity [94] vitamin C flavonoids and anthocyanins [95]
In fact RSM is a relatively efficient method for theoptimization of drying processes or others Nonetheless ithas some limitations (1) it uses a priori models Indeedwhatever the response studied a quadratic model is postu-lated which is not always adequate (2) The number of teststo be carried out increases very quickly with the numberof factors Thus a three-factor Box Behnken Design (BBD)requires 13 experiments whereas it is necessary to carry out29 experiments for a four-factor BBD (3) the factors mustbe fully independent (4) the uncontrolled factors of the plancannot be taken into account
These difficulties can be overcome using a methodproposed by Lesty [96] based on a new approach theCORICO method (ICOnographic CORrelation) CORICOis a multidimensional data analysis method that also allowsexperimental design analysis Its peculiarity with conven-tional optimization software based on the RSMmethodologyis that it does not use a priori models for the responsesIndeed it proposes a model only after the data analysis of theexperimental design (ED) Hence the shape of the modelswill be different from one response to another CORICOproposes regression models whose regressors are logicalinteractions (AND exclusiveOR IF etc) between the factorsUnlike conventional EDs CORICO accepts that factors arelinked and moreover it may take into account noncontrolledfactors Furthermore it requires very few tests to establish themodels of the ED Thus a CORICO design with five factorsrequires only 13 assays against a minimum of 31 assays for afive-factor Doehlert design
TheCORICOmethod has recently been used successfullyin the agrofood sector for the optimization of microalgaedrying process [97]
4 Dehydrated Foods with Probiotics
Due to the low stability of probiotic strains the food industryis facing a challenge to develop new functional food withprobiotics especially dehydrated food products Drying pro-biotic foods is a challenge as it causes severe loss in viabilityof probiotics
Generally food products are dried in order to increasetheir shelf life at ambient temperature and to reduce the costof frozen storage [58] Hot air drying freeze drying sprayand vacuum drying are the common technologies used fordrying food products Spray drying is the most common

and economical method for drying liquid foods Howeverthis process leads to a loss of viability of probiotic cells dueto the high temperature mechanical shearing dehydrationand osmotic pressure [98] On the other hand freeze dryingmaintains the viability of the probiotic cells but the cost ofthe process is one of the limitation for industrial application[99] Saarela et al [100] studied the stability and functionalityof freeze-dried probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactisE-2010 (Bb-12) cells during storage in juice and milk usingsucrose as cryoprotectant and low-pH to improve stabilityRecently fluidized bed drying and radiant energy undervacuum drying techniques have successfully been applied forimproving the stability of dehydrated probiotics [50 101]Noorbakhsh et al [50] studied the radiant energy undervacuum technology for producing probiotic enriched applesnacks They concluded that this technology a form ofvacuum microwave dehydration is a rapid drying methodresulting in productswith unique characteristicswhile retain-ing biological functions and properties The retention ofbiological activity is enhanced by the low drying temperatureand short drying time In the case of fruits and vegetablesthe gas and liquid in the intercellular spaces (20ndash25 ofthe total volume) can be removed by means of vacuumand replaced by diffusion with compounds of interest suchas microorganisms (bacteria L rhamnosus for example)minerals or other bioactive and nonbioactive compounds[10] This would lead to the development probiotic enricheddried fruits by vacuum impregnation The apple pieces wereair-dried at 40∘C to a water content of 037 kg water kgDMminus1and stored at room temperature for two months [50] Thecontent of L casei viable cells in the dried apple was greaterthan 106 cfu gminus1 which is similar to that in commercial dairyproducts In an attempt to introduce probiotic propertiesto breakfast cereals and similar food products Patel et al[102] confirmed that oat bran contained balanced nutrientsto support a 25-fold L plantarum propagation within arange of moisture content from 50 to 58 after 36 hof cultivation They applied the technique of solid-statefermentation This technique presents not only the potentialof simple downstream processing but also a more naturalgrowth environment for the target bacterium Consequencesof increasedmicrobial growth with lowwater content includeslowdown of the growth of spoilage microorganisms and thegeneration of microbial metabolites which in turn providea range of health benefits (Figure 2) On the other handthe adequacy of raw materials with regard to probioticstechnology (including finding solutions for the stability andviability problems of probiotics in food matrices such asfruits cereals and other vegetables) is certainly the key in theresearch and development area for functional food markets[50]
Some nondairy products with probiotics have been devel-oped in order to surpass the two main drawbacks of theconsumption of dairy products namely lactose intoleranceand the cholesterol content [104] In Table 4 are describedsome of the dehydrated functional plant foods that have beendeveloped Apple is still the preferred base although otherplant products may be used Nevertheless the fruit matrix isan important parameter to take into account because those

more porous fruits seem to facilitate the incorporation ofprobiotics in their tissues during immersion [105] andorduring vacuum impregnation [13] The probiotics testedinclude several bacteria Lactobacillus spp and Bifidobac-terium spp being among the strains most commonly usedBesides being generally considered to be safe for consumerssome Lactobacillus spp show interesting health effects Forexample Betoret et al [106] verified that Lactobacillus sali-varius incorporated in a low moisture apple snack showed apotential effect against H pylori infection
All studies performed until now tried to create a dry fruitmatrix with a high number of viable probiotic cells (gt1 times107 cfu gminus1) as suggested by Betoret et al [106] and Rego etal [107] To achieve this value it is important to (i) have ahigh cell concentration (approx 1010 cfumlminus1) in the initialsuspension in which the product will be immersed (ii) guar-antee a high adherence of the probiotics to the fruit matrixand (iii) assure that after drying the adhered cells still havehigh viability [107] Furthermore it is also important that theimpregnation liquid must present certain physicochemicalcharacteristics namely (i) the pH of the impregnation liquidand the fruitmust be suitable formicroorganismsrsquo growth (ii)the viscosity of the impregnation liquid should also allow fluxinside the pores or intercellular spaces and (iii) the naturalcharacteristics of the impregnated fruit should not be affected[106] Another important point to consider is the methodused to promote cells adherence because it might influencetheir viability By observing Table 4 vacuum impregnationis the most used method for probiotics impregnation intofruit matrices Nevertheless Rego et al [107] verified thatapple cubes that had been subjected to immersion undervacuum presented lower viable numbers of probiotic bacteriathan those cubes subjected to immersion at normal pressureand so no advantage such as the increase of the number ofadhered cells or the stability during drying was observed byusing vacuum Furthermore the vacuum immersed sampleshad worse visual aspect (with more damage) after dryingthan immersed samples at atmospheric pressure [107] Whenpreparing cylindrically shaped apple samples with probioticsBetoret et al [104] also observed that vacuum impregnationseemed to decrease the microbial content by one logarithmic

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

the addition of inulin to gluten-free products The authorsshowed that the new enriched flour has the potential toimprove the technological properties and sensory perceptionof the obtained products Palatnik et al [38] developed anovel reduced-fat cheese from partially skimmed bovinemilk with the addition of Agave fructans The new productwith fructans showed an appropriate moisture and proteinretention The sensorial aspects including colour did notshow significant difference in comparison with the controlsamples indicating that the fructans did not affect theseparameters Even though it would be difficult to mimic
completely a full-fat cheese after fat has been removed thepresence of fructans in reduced-fat formulations suggests anacceptable likeness in comparison with the structure andgeneral characteristics of the full-fat control cheese
Various prebiotic dairy desserts having low fat contenthave been prepared using inulin as a prebiotic in whichinulin supplementation not only presented a prebiotic effectbut also reduced the fat content and sugar content (12reduction) without affecting its acceptability to consumers[39] As inulin is metabolized in different parts of the largeintestine (short-chain inulin in the proximal colon portion

and long-chain inulin in the more distal colonic portion)the use of a blend of short and long-chain inulin to increasefermentative and prebiotic effects is suggested in severalnutritional studies [40 41] Although lactulose was usedoriginally as a laxative [42] it has also received attentionas a potential prebiotic Lactulose increased lactobacilliand bifidobacteria and significantly decreased Bacteroides inmixed continuous fecal culture [43] although total bacterialnumbers decreased Lactulose has been consistently found tohave prebiotic potential in human trials Although lactuloselooks to be a very promising prebiotic it is not yet widelydistributed as such It has an established market as a medicalproduct and would seem to have much value in the foodsector
22 Probiotics as Bioactive Ingredient for Functional FoodsProbiotics are viablemicroorganisms such as lactobacilli andbifidobacteria that benefit the host by improving the intesti-nal bacterial balance [44] Multiple reports have describedtheir health benefits in gastrointestinal infections antimicro-bial activity improvement in lactose metabolism reductionin serum cholesterol immune system stimulation antimu-tagenic properties anticarcinogenic properties antidiarrhealproperties improvement in inflammatory bowel diseaseand suppression of Helicobacter pylori infection by addi-tion of selected strains to food products [45] Because oftheir perceived health benefits probiotic bacteria have beenincreasingly incorporated into a range of functional foodsincluding yogurts cheeses ice cream milk powders andfrozen dairy desserts [46]
For industrial applications probiotic strains have torespond to several criteria Barbosa and Teixeira [47] pro-vided valuable criteria
Probiotic status assessment requires demonstrationthrough human studies and a scientific and technicalguidance in presenting applications for health claims onfood has been provided by the EFSA (Reg EC 19242006)The EFSA has rejected all health claim applications onprobiotics since 2008 which reflects the need for morescientific evidence and well-designed human interventionstudies Contrary to the European standard Canada has apositive list of species that can be marketed as probioticsThis list represents a core group of well-studied species likelyto contribute to a healthy gut microbiota [48]
Each microorganism present in probiotic products mustbe identified at species and strain level according to the Inter-national Code of Nomenclature and its microbial genomemust be completely sequenced This allows the identifica-tion of every single gene involved in bacterial metabolismand its function Consequently the safety of food productsand above all of commercial probiotic strains should beevaluated before their launch on the market Generally theguidelines require (i) a minimum concentration of 109 cfuof live microorganismsdaily dose on labels (even less if theusefulness of this lower dose has been clearly shown andsupported at scientific experimental level) (ii) the identifica-tion of each probiotic strain by integrating phenotypic andgenotypic characterization (iii) the absence of pathogenicfactors [49]
Currently most of industrial functional foods containingprobiotics are mainly found in dairy products with limitedshelf life and are not suitable for consumers dealing withlactose intolerance [50] The microorganisms most usedin commercialized probiotic foods belong to genera Lacto-bacillus (Lactobacillus plantarum Lactobacillus acidophilusand Lactobacillus rhamnosus) [51 52] and Bifidobacterium(Bifidobacterium bifidum Bifidobacterium longum) [53 54]which belong to the group of lactic acid bacteria Infrequentlyother bacteria (Enterococcus faecium Lactococcus lactis) [5556] and yeasts (Saccharomyces boulardii) [57] may also beused as probiotic strains (Table 3)
Leone et al [59] studied four different conditions forthe incorporation of Lactobacillus casei in dried yacon(Smallanthus sonchifolius) which was crushed in the formof flakes The temperature of 25∘C was the most appropriatefor the incorporation of probiotics in dried yacon at the endof the 56 days Granado-Lorencio and Hernandez-Alvarez[60] stated that adding probiotics to fruit-based and cereal-based matrices was more complex than formulating dairyproducts because the bacteria need protection from theacidic conditions in these media To solve this problemmicroencapsulation technologies have been developed andsuccessfully applied using various matrices to protect thebacterial cells from the damage caused by the externalenvironment [61] Puupponen-Pimia et al [62] proposedthe encapsulation of probiotics to enhance their viabilityand stability in food matrices and controlled release duringhuman digestion A recent industrial application the Amer-ican company Kraft launched in 2008 produced the firstmass-distributed shelf stable probiotic nutrition bar by usingthe bacteria L plantarum 299v [63]
Borges et al [64] studied the effect of processing stagesto develop fruit powders (apple banana and strawberry)enriched with a probiotic strain (L plantarum 299v) Theauthors found that hot air drying of the fruit followed byaddition of spray-dried probiotic culture was better than hotair drying of the fruit incorporated with the probiotic cultureThe viability of L plantarum 299v was considerably higherduring spray drying and fruit powders with a microbialcontent suitable for a probiotic food (108ndash109 cfu gminus1) wereobtained
In all the above cases the rate of recovery of the pro-biotics to the viable state is significantly influenced by therehydration conditions (temperature volume of rehydratingmedia and rehydration time) physical properties of thematerial to be rehydrated and properties like osmolaritypH and nutritional energy of the rehydration solution Therehydration temperature is a critical factor influencing cellrecovery of freeze-dried and spray-dried probiotics Variousstudies have indicated that there is not an ldquoidealrdquo singlepoint rehydration temperature for the optimum growth ofcultures For thermophilic cultures temperature between 30and 37∘C was found best for posthydration viabilities whilethe optimum range for mesophilic bacteria is 22ndash30∘C Therehydration temperature should not be higher than 40∘C inany case [58]

3 Advances in Dehydration Technologiestowards Healthy Products
31 Drying and Its Consequences on the Product Quality andEnergy Consumption Drying is probably the most impor-tant unit operation for most industrial processes especiallybecause of its impact on the quality of the end product andon energy consumption [65] Thus according to Chua etal [66] this process would be the most energy-intensiveamong all industries with consumption of dried foods about10ndash25 of total consumption In most cases drying involvesthe application of different temperature conditions whichmay cause irreversible damage In the case of freeze dryingthe temperature applied can be minus30∘C or minus80∘C and in thecase of other methods such as air drying or spray dryingthe temperatures can be 45ndash80∘C or 125ndash140∘C respectivelyChanges may occur in cellular structures (cell membranes)
constituting probiotics cells and in key properties responsiblefor the product functionality (cell membrane permeabilitymechanical strength of the cell membrane assembly etc)[58 67 68] Moreover drying might cause changes in thechemical structures responsible for the biological value ofvarious bioactive components (protein fat) [67] Besidesdrying with hot air can induce reactions mainly of oxidationwhich decrease the functional value of nutritive compounds(vitamin antioxidant) This must be put into perspective fac-ing the high reactivity of phytochemicals leading to variousdegrees of degradation during processing [69]
Since the drying process always comprises a secondphase which is generally long to very long depending onthe hygroscopicity of the product it is mainly responsiblefor the numerous adverse effects that are linked to dryingMost organic products are in fact deeply modified by drying(colour taste texture nutritional characteristics functional

properties etc) [70] The bioactive compounds are thusparticularly altered during this drying phase Thereforeobviously this phase andor its consequences on the qualityof the dried products are sought to be reduced by new dryingtechniques and optimization of drying processes
32 Conventional Techniques Used for Drying Foods or Func-tional Ingredients The most commonly used techniques toproduce fruit or vegetable powder are freeze drying foamdrying drum drying and spray drying [71] Freeze drying isthe technique that allows the best preservation of phytochem-icals and their bioactivity in fruit and vegetable powders [71]It is themost widely used technique for drying probiotics butin view of its high operating costs and low productivity [71]spray drying seems to be a good alternative for production ofprobiotics powder at industrial scale [72]
In spray drying it is often necessary to use a carrieragent for the product to be atomized [73] Shishir and Chen[71] reported about thirty studies in the literature on thespray drying of various fruit or vegetable juices showingthat different phytochemicals (anthocyanins total flavonoidstotal polyphenol gingerol etc) were more or less preserveddepending on the type and concentration of the carrier agentused (maltodextrin Arabic gum inulin mixture of carrieragents etc)
Spray drying is also used for the drying of probioticsThecarrier agents allow the preservation of molecules of interestor probiotics by their encapsulation effect [74] Concerningprobiotics the main question is the viability of the cells afterdrying Spray drying to produce probiotic fruit powders willbe discussed in Section 4
33 Drying Kinetics versus Kinetic Degradation of Indicators ofInterest Alteration of product quality during drying is linkedto the time-temperature couple Low temperatures tend tohave a positive effect on the quality of the final productwhich is generally found in low temperature processes such asfreeze drying or vacuumdrying Similarly short drying timesallow better preservation of bioactive compounds [69] Thissituation is found for fast drying processes such as spray ordrumdrying In general degradation ofmost phytochemicalsand probiotics follows first-order or a pseudo first-orderkinetics [69] Hence good fits with first-order kinetic modelsapplied to thermal degradation of different phytochemicalswere obtained by several authors This is the case for thedegradation of anthocyanins [75ndash78] as well as polyphenols[75 78 79] However simple first-order models are notsuitable when the residual concentration of the bioactivecompound is different from 0 for a very long heating timeThe kinetics of degradation of the bioactive compound isthen described by an equation called first-order fractionalconversion kinetic model [80]
Whatever the order of the thermal degradation reactionthe rate constant of the kinetic depends on the temperatureaccording to the Arrhenius equation [75ndash77 79] and nor-mally the rate of degradation of biocompounds or probioticsis higher at high temperatures However during convectivedrying it is possible to obtain a lower degradation of somebioactive compounds such as polyphenol (total polyphenol
content TPC) and flavonoids at higher temperatures [81]The same trend was observed for TPC loss in convectivedrying of carrot peels [82] and blueberries [83] Hencethe residual content of bioactive compounds after dryingdepends at least on three parameters its initial contentthe temperature and the duration of the drying [78ndash80]Therefore to minimize the degradation of bioactive com-pounds or probiotics drying processes at low temperature(freeze drying vacuumdrying)may be used However underthese conditions the drying time will necessarily be longTherefore the alternative is to use short dryingmethods suchas spray drying drum drying dielectric drying microwavedrying and infrared (IR) drying In these cases the dryingtemperature will necessarily be high but the duration willbe short which makes it possible to limit the degradation ofbiocompounds and probiotics Clearly the kinetics of dryingmust be sufficiently rapid with respect to the kinetics ofdegradation of the compounds of interest It is approximatelyone of the targeted goals with advanced drying techniques
34 AdvancedDryingTechniques Even though freeze dryingvacuum drying or spray drying techniques limit the degra-dation of bioactive compounds they are either unsuitable forthe drying of certain products or have too low productivityand excessively high operating cost to be implemented atindustrial scale Conversely the other techniques of conven-tional drying by hot air (cabinet tunnel etc) have a strongnegative effect on the retention of bioactive compoundsFor this reason advanced drying techniques have beenproposed for many years The majority of these techniqueshave one thing in common the type of energy used whichis always of electromagnetic (EM) nature radio frequency(RF) microwave (MW) IR and ultraviolet (UV) These newtechniques can be used alone or in combination with oneanother or with conventional techniques
341 Dielectric and Microwave Drying Actually from aphysical point of view the notion of dielectric heating canbe applied to all frequencies from high frequencies to IRHowever from a practical point of view the term dielectricheating is reserved for frequencies between 1 and 100MHzwhile the MW heating is between 300MHz and 300GHz[84]
Throughout MW drying of high moisture content prod-uct the high energy density absorbed results in a rapidincrease in temperature and an instantaneous vaporizationinside the product [65] The internal pressure increases andexpulsion of liquidwater towards the surface occurs [84]Thisphenomenon has been observed by many authors in the caseof different products (cotton wood slices of oranges applecarrot etc) This outflow of water limits the phenomenonof crusting and browning of the surface contrary to what isobserved in conventional drying This also results in highdrying rates leading to considerable reduction in the dryingtime Even if the drying speed is always faster than that of hotair drying the drying efficiency is limited due to the rapidsaturation of the air whose temperature is relatively low atthe surface of the product For this reason microwaves are

At this stage two fundamental points radically differ-entiating dielectric drying from hot air drying should bementioned (1) during convective drying by hot air thesurface temperature of the product evolves until reaching theair temperature at the end of drying and it is worth notingthat it can in no case exceed this temperature This explainswhy it is sufficient to dry thermosensitive products at lowair temperature to prevent their alteration Regarding MWdrying there is no real limit to the temperature rise of theproduct except temperatures leading to its carbonization andits destruction (2)Given that drying involves removingwaterfrom a product this action will have a decisive effect on howthe product will behave vis-a-vis the EMwave during dryingSince water is the main molecule of the product concernedby the absorption of EM energy the dielectric properties (1205761015840and 12057610158401015840) of the product will tend to evolve during drying Formost products the values of these properties will drop duringthe two phases of the drying process [84] 12057610158401015840 falls very quicklythroughout the drying of the free water (1st phase) and then12057610158401015840 decreases with a lower slope after the critical moisturecontent corresponding to the beginning of drying of thebound water The critical moisture content is between 10 and40 (dry basis) for highly hygroscopic products and about 1for nonhygroscopic products [84] From what has just beensaid and from point (1) it could be concluded that this israther positive for controlling the temperature of the productand therefore its quality at the end of drying Things are notso simple because several other elements must be taken intoconsideration Firstly if the applied power is kept constantduring drying (as is the case in most studies in the literature)the energy density delivered to the product which can beevaluated by the specific power applied (ie the ratio betweenthe applied MW power and the mass product) increasesduring drying Kone et al [85] showed that this evolutionwas exponential with drying time in the case of drying oftomatoes by microwaveshot air In other words more andmore energy is being supplied to the product when less andless is needed The consequence of this is the phenomenaof thermal runaway reported in many studies on microwavedrying In addition another aspect must be considerednamely the change of the thermal properties of the productduring drying Indeed the thermal properties of foods alsodepend on their moisture content Thus the specific heatand the thermal diffusivity of the product decrease duringdrying Hence it takes less and less energy to heat the productand similarly an area of the product that has undergoneoverheating will find it increasingly difficult to evacuate itsoverflow of heat by diffusion All these elements make itpossible to understand that even if the dielectric properties ofthe product decrease during drying phenomena of thermalrunaway during microwave drying may arise [86] The onlysolution to control the quality of the product during amicrowave drying is therefore to control the energy supplyby adapting the specific power as a function of the moisturecontent by acting on the power applied By applying sucha strategy Kone et al [85] succeed in drying of tomato bymicrowavehot air with an improvement in the colour of the
dried product and in the residual content of lycopene Wemay conclude by saying that the management of the energysupplied to the product during drying and the optimizationtechniquesmay be useful for the control of microwave dryingin terms of organoleptic and nutritional qualities and energyconsumption
342 Hybrid Drying Techniques More and more studieshave suggested the synergistic effects of the combinationof different drying techniques on the quality of the driedproduct and on the performance of the drying process(drying time and energy consumption) Some hybrid drying(HD) techniques are presented below
(i) Microwave-Assisted Hot Air Drying (MWHAD) The sim-plest combination imaginable for microwave drying is itscombination with hot air drying It is also the one that is byfar the most used according to the literature Schiffmann [84]retains three possiblemodes from a perspective of applicationat industrial scale (1) Preheating The microwaves are used topreheat the product and subsequently the drying continueswith hot air only The instantaneous generation of steaminside the product due to the absorption of the MW energyforces the flow of water towards the surface thus allowingconventional hot air drying to operate under conditions ofmaximum efficiency (2) Booster Drying Drying starts withhot air only and the MW energy is fed when the dryingrate begins to fall The surface of the product being dry atthis point by the effect of pumping on the internal water ofthe product the MW energy leads to the rewetting of thesurface which makes it possible to maintain a high dryingrate (3) Finish Drying The falling phase of the drying rate isresponsible for the greatest degradation of the product qualitydue to its length (more than two-thirds of the total dryingtime) By introducing microwaves at the beginning of thisphase internal energy generation allows the bound water tobe pushed towards the product surface which increases thedrying rate and thus reduces the drying time
This combination of microwaves and hot air results in animprovement of the quality of the dried product as well asa reduction of the drying time and energy consumption [6584]
(ii) Microwave-Assisted Freeze Drying (MWFD) Freeze dry-ing provides a good quality of the dried product by preventingthe degradation of the thermosensitive compounds due tothe low temperature used for the sublimation of water Themajor drawback of this technique is the very long dryingtime required Hence it entails a low productivity and a largeconsumption of energy [87]The combination of microwaveswith freeze drying makes it possible to shorten the dryingtime (eg 40 in the case of the drying of protein of duck eggwhite) without modification of the nutritional quality [87]
(iii) Microwave-Assisted Vacuum Drying (MWVD) Likefreeze drying vacuum drying preserves the characteristics ofthe dried product but it also has the same drawbacks namelya long drying time and a strong energy consumption Thusthe combination of microwaves with vacuum drying allows a

better anthocyanin retention and a better antioxidant activityin the case ofMWVDof blueberries [87] In general MWVDmakes it possible to obtain dried products of a quality as goodas those obtained by freeze drying with a colour closer to thefresh product in the case of tomato carrot and banana [88]
(iv) Microwave-Assisted IR Drying (MWIRD) IR radiation ischaracterized by a shallow depth of penetration inside theproduct Therefore once the EM energy is absorbed at thesurface it is transmitted to the interior of the product byconduction which brings IR drying closer to conventionalhot air dryingThe combination of IRwithmicrowaves allowsa faster and more homogeneous heating of the product anda quicker drying of the product with an improved qualityThus in the case ofMWIRD of raspberries a 24 times highercrustiness a 2563 higher rehydration a 1755 additionalretention of anthocyanins and a 2121 higher antioxidantactivity were obtained in relation to IR drying [88]
(v) Ultrasound-Assisted Drying (UAD) Ultrasonication isone of several techniques used in the concept of hybridprocesses It has already been applied to drying amongother processes [89] The mechanical energy provided byultrasound contributes to the reduction of internal and exter-nal resistances to mass transfer and particularly to watertransfer thanks to expansion and compression cycles (spongeeffect) [81] In addition microstreaming is produced at theinterfaces because of high-intensity airborne ultrasoundwhich reduces the diffusion boundary layer This leads todiffusion enhancement and hence to mass transfer increase[81 90] Musielak et al [91] indicate that the first studieson the use of ultrasound in drying were carried out inthe 1950s However even if there is a renewed interest onthis technology in recent years it remains for the momentlimited to laboratory scale [90]
Numerous studies show the interest of combining ultra-sound with a convective drying process to reduce energyconsumption and drying time as well as to improvethe quality of the dried product Szadzinska et al [92]compared a convective drying (CVD) to different hybriddrying processesmdashconvective-ultrasonic drying (CVUD)convective-microwave-ultrasonic drying (CVMWUD) andconvective-microwave drying (CVMWD)mdashin drying ofstrawberry In all cases the hybrid processes made it possibleto obtain lower energy consumption and shorter drying timethan the convective drying The energy consumption gainwas only 64 in CVUD while it reached about 82 inCVMWUD and even 89 in CVMWD Likewise the dryingtime was reduced by 52 and 93 in CVUD and CVMWDrespectively
35 Drying Optimization The combination of several dryingtechniquesmakes it possible to obtain synergistic effects bothon the preservation of the bioactive compounds and on theenergy consumption However it is necessary to optimizethese processes since many factors of the process can have adecisive impact on the quality of the dried product In thepast years the food processes optimization was performedby observing the effect of variation of a single variable at
a time on an experimental response keeping constant allothers This technique has the disadvantage of requiringnumerous tests and it does not take into account the effect ofinteractions between variables on the assessed responses [93]These difficulties can be circumvented using the ResponseSurfaceMethodology (RSM)Thismethod consists in linkingeach studied response of the process to the different inputs(the factors) by means of a quadratic model [93] Thismethod is regularly used for the optimization of dryingprocesses as reported by different authors The goal pursuedin these different studies was to optimize drying conditionsfor preserving certain bioactive compounds such as beta-carotene and lycopene phenolic compounds and antioxidantactivity [94] vitamin C flavonoids and anthocyanins [95]
In fact RSM is a relatively efficient method for theoptimization of drying processes or others Nonetheless ithas some limitations (1) it uses a priori models Indeedwhatever the response studied a quadratic model is postu-lated which is not always adequate (2) The number of teststo be carried out increases very quickly with the numberof factors Thus a three-factor Box Behnken Design (BBD)requires 13 experiments whereas it is necessary to carry out29 experiments for a four-factor BBD (3) the factors mustbe fully independent (4) the uncontrolled factors of the plancannot be taken into account
These difficulties can be overcome using a methodproposed by Lesty [96] based on a new approach theCORICO method (ICOnographic CORrelation) CORICOis a multidimensional data analysis method that also allowsexperimental design analysis Its peculiarity with conven-tional optimization software based on the RSMmethodologyis that it does not use a priori models for the responsesIndeed it proposes a model only after the data analysis of theexperimental design (ED) Hence the shape of the modelswill be different from one response to another CORICOproposes regression models whose regressors are logicalinteractions (AND exclusiveOR IF etc) between the factorsUnlike conventional EDs CORICO accepts that factors arelinked and moreover it may take into account noncontrolledfactors Furthermore it requires very few tests to establish themodels of the ED Thus a CORICO design with five factorsrequires only 13 assays against a minimum of 31 assays for afive-factor Doehlert design
TheCORICOmethod has recently been used successfullyin the agrofood sector for the optimization of microalgaedrying process [97]
4 Dehydrated Foods with Probiotics
Due to the low stability of probiotic strains the food industryis facing a challenge to develop new functional food withprobiotics especially dehydrated food products Drying pro-biotic foods is a challenge as it causes severe loss in viabilityof probiotics
Generally food products are dried in order to increasetheir shelf life at ambient temperature and to reduce the costof frozen storage [58] Hot air drying freeze drying sprayand vacuum drying are the common technologies used fordrying food products Spray drying is the most common

and economical method for drying liquid foods Howeverthis process leads to a loss of viability of probiotic cells dueto the high temperature mechanical shearing dehydrationand osmotic pressure [98] On the other hand freeze dryingmaintains the viability of the probiotic cells but the cost ofthe process is one of the limitation for industrial application[99] Saarela et al [100] studied the stability and functionalityof freeze-dried probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactisE-2010 (Bb-12) cells during storage in juice and milk usingsucrose as cryoprotectant and low-pH to improve stabilityRecently fluidized bed drying and radiant energy undervacuum drying techniques have successfully been applied forimproving the stability of dehydrated probiotics [50 101]Noorbakhsh et al [50] studied the radiant energy undervacuum technology for producing probiotic enriched applesnacks They concluded that this technology a form ofvacuum microwave dehydration is a rapid drying methodresulting in productswith unique characteristicswhile retain-ing biological functions and properties The retention ofbiological activity is enhanced by the low drying temperatureand short drying time In the case of fruits and vegetablesthe gas and liquid in the intercellular spaces (20ndash25 ofthe total volume) can be removed by means of vacuumand replaced by diffusion with compounds of interest suchas microorganisms (bacteria L rhamnosus for example)minerals or other bioactive and nonbioactive compounds[10] This would lead to the development probiotic enricheddried fruits by vacuum impregnation The apple pieces wereair-dried at 40∘C to a water content of 037 kg water kgDMminus1and stored at room temperature for two months [50] Thecontent of L casei viable cells in the dried apple was greaterthan 106 cfu gminus1 which is similar to that in commercial dairyproducts In an attempt to introduce probiotic propertiesto breakfast cereals and similar food products Patel et al[102] confirmed that oat bran contained balanced nutrientsto support a 25-fold L plantarum propagation within arange of moisture content from 50 to 58 after 36 hof cultivation They applied the technique of solid-statefermentation This technique presents not only the potentialof simple downstream processing but also a more naturalgrowth environment for the target bacterium Consequencesof increasedmicrobial growth with lowwater content includeslowdown of the growth of spoilage microorganisms and thegeneration of microbial metabolites which in turn providea range of health benefits (Figure 2) On the other handthe adequacy of raw materials with regard to probioticstechnology (including finding solutions for the stability andviability problems of probiotics in food matrices such asfruits cereals and other vegetables) is certainly the key in theresearch and development area for functional food markets[50]
Some nondairy products with probiotics have been devel-oped in order to surpass the two main drawbacks of theconsumption of dairy products namely lactose intoleranceand the cholesterol content [104] In Table 4 are describedsome of the dehydrated functional plant foods that have beendeveloped Apple is still the preferred base although otherplant products may be used Nevertheless the fruit matrix isan important parameter to take into account because those

more porous fruits seem to facilitate the incorporation ofprobiotics in their tissues during immersion [105] andorduring vacuum impregnation [13] The probiotics testedinclude several bacteria Lactobacillus spp and Bifidobac-terium spp being among the strains most commonly usedBesides being generally considered to be safe for consumerssome Lactobacillus spp show interesting health effects Forexample Betoret et al [106] verified that Lactobacillus sali-varius incorporated in a low moisture apple snack showed apotential effect against H pylori infection
All studies performed until now tried to create a dry fruitmatrix with a high number of viable probiotic cells (gt1 times107 cfu gminus1) as suggested by Betoret et al [106] and Rego etal [107] To achieve this value it is important to (i) have ahigh cell concentration (approx 1010 cfumlminus1) in the initialsuspension in which the product will be immersed (ii) guar-antee a high adherence of the probiotics to the fruit matrixand (iii) assure that after drying the adhered cells still havehigh viability [107] Furthermore it is also important that theimpregnation liquid must present certain physicochemicalcharacteristics namely (i) the pH of the impregnation liquidand the fruitmust be suitable formicroorganismsrsquo growth (ii)the viscosity of the impregnation liquid should also allow fluxinside the pores or intercellular spaces and (iii) the naturalcharacteristics of the impregnated fruit should not be affected[106] Another important point to consider is the methodused to promote cells adherence because it might influencetheir viability By observing Table 4 vacuum impregnationis the most used method for probiotics impregnation intofruit matrices Nevertheless Rego et al [107] verified thatapple cubes that had been subjected to immersion undervacuum presented lower viable numbers of probiotic bacteriathan those cubes subjected to immersion at normal pressureand so no advantage such as the increase of the number ofadhered cells or the stability during drying was observed byusing vacuum Furthermore the vacuum immersed sampleshad worse visual aspect (with more damage) after dryingthan immersed samples at atmospheric pressure [107] Whenpreparing cylindrically shaped apple samples with probioticsBetoret et al [104] also observed that vacuum impregnationseemed to decrease the microbial content by one logarithmic

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

drying produce negligiblelow losses of phytochemicals andvitamins namely carotene and vitamin C while microwavedrying results in high losses of carotenoids

production Antioxidants in dried cranberries grapes andplums showed to be twice as potent as those in the fresh fruits[130]
Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

and long-chain inulin in the more distal colonic portion)the use of a blend of short and long-chain inulin to increasefermentative and prebiotic effects is suggested in severalnutritional studies [40 41] Although lactulose was usedoriginally as a laxative [42] it has also received attentionas a potential prebiotic Lactulose increased lactobacilliand bifidobacteria and significantly decreased Bacteroides inmixed continuous fecal culture [43] although total bacterialnumbers decreased Lactulose has been consistently found tohave prebiotic potential in human trials Although lactuloselooks to be a very promising prebiotic it is not yet widelydistributed as such It has an established market as a medicalproduct and would seem to have much value in the foodsector
22 Probiotics as Bioactive Ingredient for Functional FoodsProbiotics are viablemicroorganisms such as lactobacilli andbifidobacteria that benefit the host by improving the intesti-nal bacterial balance [44] Multiple reports have describedtheir health benefits in gastrointestinal infections antimicro-bial activity improvement in lactose metabolism reductionin serum cholesterol immune system stimulation antimu-tagenic properties anticarcinogenic properties antidiarrhealproperties improvement in inflammatory bowel diseaseand suppression of Helicobacter pylori infection by addi-tion of selected strains to food products [45] Because oftheir perceived health benefits probiotic bacteria have beenincreasingly incorporated into a range of functional foodsincluding yogurts cheeses ice cream milk powders andfrozen dairy desserts [46]
For industrial applications probiotic strains have torespond to several criteria Barbosa and Teixeira [47] pro-vided valuable criteria
Probiotic status assessment requires demonstrationthrough human studies and a scientific and technicalguidance in presenting applications for health claims onfood has been provided by the EFSA (Reg EC 19242006)The EFSA has rejected all health claim applications onprobiotics since 2008 which reflects the need for morescientific evidence and well-designed human interventionstudies Contrary to the European standard Canada has apositive list of species that can be marketed as probioticsThis list represents a core group of well-studied species likelyto contribute to a healthy gut microbiota [48]
Each microorganism present in probiotic products mustbe identified at species and strain level according to the Inter-national Code of Nomenclature and its microbial genomemust be completely sequenced This allows the identifica-tion of every single gene involved in bacterial metabolismand its function Consequently the safety of food productsand above all of commercial probiotic strains should beevaluated before their launch on the market Generally theguidelines require (i) a minimum concentration of 109 cfuof live microorganismsdaily dose on labels (even less if theusefulness of this lower dose has been clearly shown andsupported at scientific experimental level) (ii) the identifica-tion of each probiotic strain by integrating phenotypic andgenotypic characterization (iii) the absence of pathogenicfactors [49]
Currently most of industrial functional foods containingprobiotics are mainly found in dairy products with limitedshelf life and are not suitable for consumers dealing withlactose intolerance [50] The microorganisms most usedin commercialized probiotic foods belong to genera Lacto-bacillus (Lactobacillus plantarum Lactobacillus acidophilusand Lactobacillus rhamnosus) [51 52] and Bifidobacterium(Bifidobacterium bifidum Bifidobacterium longum) [53 54]which belong to the group of lactic acid bacteria Infrequentlyother bacteria (Enterococcus faecium Lactococcus lactis) [5556] and yeasts (Saccharomyces boulardii) [57] may also beused as probiotic strains (Table 3)
Leone et al [59] studied four different conditions forthe incorporation of Lactobacillus casei in dried yacon(Smallanthus sonchifolius) which was crushed in the formof flakes The temperature of 25∘C was the most appropriatefor the incorporation of probiotics in dried yacon at the endof the 56 days Granado-Lorencio and Hernandez-Alvarez[60] stated that adding probiotics to fruit-based and cereal-based matrices was more complex than formulating dairyproducts because the bacteria need protection from theacidic conditions in these media To solve this problemmicroencapsulation technologies have been developed andsuccessfully applied using various matrices to protect thebacterial cells from the damage caused by the externalenvironment [61] Puupponen-Pimia et al [62] proposedthe encapsulation of probiotics to enhance their viabilityand stability in food matrices and controlled release duringhuman digestion A recent industrial application the Amer-ican company Kraft launched in 2008 produced the firstmass-distributed shelf stable probiotic nutrition bar by usingthe bacteria L plantarum 299v [63]
Borges et al [64] studied the effect of processing stagesto develop fruit powders (apple banana and strawberry)enriched with a probiotic strain (L plantarum 299v) Theauthors found that hot air drying of the fruit followed byaddition of spray-dried probiotic culture was better than hotair drying of the fruit incorporated with the probiotic cultureThe viability of L plantarum 299v was considerably higherduring spray drying and fruit powders with a microbialcontent suitable for a probiotic food (108ndash109 cfu gminus1) wereobtained
In all the above cases the rate of recovery of the pro-biotics to the viable state is significantly influenced by therehydration conditions (temperature volume of rehydratingmedia and rehydration time) physical properties of thematerial to be rehydrated and properties like osmolaritypH and nutritional energy of the rehydration solution Therehydration temperature is a critical factor influencing cellrecovery of freeze-dried and spray-dried probiotics Variousstudies have indicated that there is not an ldquoidealrdquo singlepoint rehydration temperature for the optimum growth ofcultures For thermophilic cultures temperature between 30and 37∘C was found best for posthydration viabilities whilethe optimum range for mesophilic bacteria is 22ndash30∘C Therehydration temperature should not be higher than 40∘C inany case [58]

3 Advances in Dehydration Technologiestowards Healthy Products
31 Drying and Its Consequences on the Product Quality andEnergy Consumption Drying is probably the most impor-tant unit operation for most industrial processes especiallybecause of its impact on the quality of the end product andon energy consumption [65] Thus according to Chua etal [66] this process would be the most energy-intensiveamong all industries with consumption of dried foods about10ndash25 of total consumption In most cases drying involvesthe application of different temperature conditions whichmay cause irreversible damage In the case of freeze dryingthe temperature applied can be minus30∘C or minus80∘C and in thecase of other methods such as air drying or spray dryingthe temperatures can be 45ndash80∘C or 125ndash140∘C respectivelyChanges may occur in cellular structures (cell membranes)
constituting probiotics cells and in key properties responsiblefor the product functionality (cell membrane permeabilitymechanical strength of the cell membrane assembly etc)[58 67 68] Moreover drying might cause changes in thechemical structures responsible for the biological value ofvarious bioactive components (protein fat) [67] Besidesdrying with hot air can induce reactions mainly of oxidationwhich decrease the functional value of nutritive compounds(vitamin antioxidant) This must be put into perspective fac-ing the high reactivity of phytochemicals leading to variousdegrees of degradation during processing [69]
Since the drying process always comprises a secondphase which is generally long to very long depending onthe hygroscopicity of the product it is mainly responsiblefor the numerous adverse effects that are linked to dryingMost organic products are in fact deeply modified by drying(colour taste texture nutritional characteristics functional

properties etc) [70] The bioactive compounds are thusparticularly altered during this drying phase Thereforeobviously this phase andor its consequences on the qualityof the dried products are sought to be reduced by new dryingtechniques and optimization of drying processes
32 Conventional Techniques Used for Drying Foods or Func-tional Ingredients The most commonly used techniques toproduce fruit or vegetable powder are freeze drying foamdrying drum drying and spray drying [71] Freeze drying isthe technique that allows the best preservation of phytochem-icals and their bioactivity in fruit and vegetable powders [71]It is themost widely used technique for drying probiotics butin view of its high operating costs and low productivity [71]spray drying seems to be a good alternative for production ofprobiotics powder at industrial scale [72]
In spray drying it is often necessary to use a carrieragent for the product to be atomized [73] Shishir and Chen[71] reported about thirty studies in the literature on thespray drying of various fruit or vegetable juices showingthat different phytochemicals (anthocyanins total flavonoidstotal polyphenol gingerol etc) were more or less preserveddepending on the type and concentration of the carrier agentused (maltodextrin Arabic gum inulin mixture of carrieragents etc)
Spray drying is also used for the drying of probioticsThecarrier agents allow the preservation of molecules of interestor probiotics by their encapsulation effect [74] Concerningprobiotics the main question is the viability of the cells afterdrying Spray drying to produce probiotic fruit powders willbe discussed in Section 4
33 Drying Kinetics versus Kinetic Degradation of Indicators ofInterest Alteration of product quality during drying is linkedto the time-temperature couple Low temperatures tend tohave a positive effect on the quality of the final productwhich is generally found in low temperature processes such asfreeze drying or vacuumdrying Similarly short drying timesallow better preservation of bioactive compounds [69] Thissituation is found for fast drying processes such as spray ordrumdrying In general degradation ofmost phytochemicalsand probiotics follows first-order or a pseudo first-orderkinetics [69] Hence good fits with first-order kinetic modelsapplied to thermal degradation of different phytochemicalswere obtained by several authors This is the case for thedegradation of anthocyanins [75ndash78] as well as polyphenols[75 78 79] However simple first-order models are notsuitable when the residual concentration of the bioactivecompound is different from 0 for a very long heating timeThe kinetics of degradation of the bioactive compound isthen described by an equation called first-order fractionalconversion kinetic model [80]
Whatever the order of the thermal degradation reactionthe rate constant of the kinetic depends on the temperatureaccording to the Arrhenius equation [75ndash77 79] and nor-mally the rate of degradation of biocompounds or probioticsis higher at high temperatures However during convectivedrying it is possible to obtain a lower degradation of somebioactive compounds such as polyphenol (total polyphenol
content TPC) and flavonoids at higher temperatures [81]The same trend was observed for TPC loss in convectivedrying of carrot peels [82] and blueberries [83] Hencethe residual content of bioactive compounds after dryingdepends at least on three parameters its initial contentthe temperature and the duration of the drying [78ndash80]Therefore to minimize the degradation of bioactive com-pounds or probiotics drying processes at low temperature(freeze drying vacuumdrying)may be used However underthese conditions the drying time will necessarily be longTherefore the alternative is to use short dryingmethods suchas spray drying drum drying dielectric drying microwavedrying and infrared (IR) drying In these cases the dryingtemperature will necessarily be high but the duration willbe short which makes it possible to limit the degradation ofbiocompounds and probiotics Clearly the kinetics of dryingmust be sufficiently rapid with respect to the kinetics ofdegradation of the compounds of interest It is approximatelyone of the targeted goals with advanced drying techniques
34 AdvancedDryingTechniques Even though freeze dryingvacuum drying or spray drying techniques limit the degra-dation of bioactive compounds they are either unsuitable forthe drying of certain products or have too low productivityand excessively high operating cost to be implemented atindustrial scale Conversely the other techniques of conven-tional drying by hot air (cabinet tunnel etc) have a strongnegative effect on the retention of bioactive compoundsFor this reason advanced drying techniques have beenproposed for many years The majority of these techniqueshave one thing in common the type of energy used whichis always of electromagnetic (EM) nature radio frequency(RF) microwave (MW) IR and ultraviolet (UV) These newtechniques can be used alone or in combination with oneanother or with conventional techniques
341 Dielectric and Microwave Drying Actually from aphysical point of view the notion of dielectric heating canbe applied to all frequencies from high frequencies to IRHowever from a practical point of view the term dielectricheating is reserved for frequencies between 1 and 100MHzwhile the MW heating is between 300MHz and 300GHz[84]
Throughout MW drying of high moisture content prod-uct the high energy density absorbed results in a rapidincrease in temperature and an instantaneous vaporizationinside the product [65] The internal pressure increases andexpulsion of liquidwater towards the surface occurs [84]Thisphenomenon has been observed by many authors in the caseof different products (cotton wood slices of oranges applecarrot etc) This outflow of water limits the phenomenonof crusting and browning of the surface contrary to what isobserved in conventional drying This also results in highdrying rates leading to considerable reduction in the dryingtime Even if the drying speed is always faster than that of hotair drying the drying efficiency is limited due to the rapidsaturation of the air whose temperature is relatively low atthe surface of the product For this reason microwaves are

generally associated with hot air to improve water transfer atthe product surface
At this stage two fundamental points radically differ-entiating dielectric drying from hot air drying should bementioned (1) during convective drying by hot air thesurface temperature of the product evolves until reaching theair temperature at the end of drying and it is worth notingthat it can in no case exceed this temperature This explainswhy it is sufficient to dry thermosensitive products at lowair temperature to prevent their alteration Regarding MWdrying there is no real limit to the temperature rise of theproduct except temperatures leading to its carbonization andits destruction (2)Given that drying involves removingwaterfrom a product this action will have a decisive effect on howthe product will behave vis-a-vis the EMwave during dryingSince water is the main molecule of the product concernedby the absorption of EM energy the dielectric properties (1205761015840and 12057610158401015840) of the product will tend to evolve during drying Formost products the values of these properties will drop duringthe two phases of the drying process [84] 12057610158401015840 falls very quicklythroughout the drying of the free water (1st phase) and then12057610158401015840 decreases with a lower slope after the critical moisturecontent corresponding to the beginning of drying of thebound water The critical moisture content is between 10 and40 (dry basis) for highly hygroscopic products and about 1for nonhygroscopic products [84] From what has just beensaid and from point (1) it could be concluded that this israther positive for controlling the temperature of the productand therefore its quality at the end of drying Things are notso simple because several other elements must be taken intoconsideration Firstly if the applied power is kept constantduring drying (as is the case in most studies in the literature)the energy density delivered to the product which can beevaluated by the specific power applied (ie the ratio betweenthe applied MW power and the mass product) increasesduring drying Kone et al [85] showed that this evolutionwas exponential with drying time in the case of drying oftomatoes by microwaveshot air In other words more andmore energy is being supplied to the product when less andless is needed The consequence of this is the phenomenaof thermal runaway reported in many studies on microwavedrying In addition another aspect must be considerednamely the change of the thermal properties of the productduring drying Indeed the thermal properties of foods alsodepend on their moisture content Thus the specific heatand the thermal diffusivity of the product decrease duringdrying Hence it takes less and less energy to heat the productand similarly an area of the product that has undergoneoverheating will find it increasingly difficult to evacuate itsoverflow of heat by diffusion All these elements make itpossible to understand that even if the dielectric properties ofthe product decrease during drying phenomena of thermalrunaway during microwave drying may arise [86] The onlysolution to control the quality of the product during amicrowave drying is therefore to control the energy supplyby adapting the specific power as a function of the moisturecontent by acting on the power applied By applying sucha strategy Kone et al [85] succeed in drying of tomato bymicrowavehot air with an improvement in the colour of the
dried product and in the residual content of lycopene Wemay conclude by saying that the management of the energysupplied to the product during drying and the optimizationtechniquesmay be useful for the control of microwave dryingin terms of organoleptic and nutritional qualities and energyconsumption
342 Hybrid Drying Techniques More and more studieshave suggested the synergistic effects of the combinationof different drying techniques on the quality of the driedproduct and on the performance of the drying process(drying time and energy consumption) Some hybrid drying(HD) techniques are presented below
(i) Microwave-Assisted Hot Air Drying (MWHAD) The sim-plest combination imaginable for microwave drying is itscombination with hot air drying It is also the one that is byfar the most used according to the literature Schiffmann [84]retains three possiblemodes from a perspective of applicationat industrial scale (1) Preheating The microwaves are used topreheat the product and subsequently the drying continueswith hot air only The instantaneous generation of steaminside the product due to the absorption of the MW energyforces the flow of water towards the surface thus allowingconventional hot air drying to operate under conditions ofmaximum efficiency (2) Booster Drying Drying starts withhot air only and the MW energy is fed when the dryingrate begins to fall The surface of the product being dry atthis point by the effect of pumping on the internal water ofthe product the MW energy leads to the rewetting of thesurface which makes it possible to maintain a high dryingrate (3) Finish Drying The falling phase of the drying rate isresponsible for the greatest degradation of the product qualitydue to its length (more than two-thirds of the total dryingtime) By introducing microwaves at the beginning of thisphase internal energy generation allows the bound water tobe pushed towards the product surface which increases thedrying rate and thus reduces the drying time
This combination of microwaves and hot air results in animprovement of the quality of the dried product as well asa reduction of the drying time and energy consumption [6584]
(ii) Microwave-Assisted Freeze Drying (MWFD) Freeze dry-ing provides a good quality of the dried product by preventingthe degradation of the thermosensitive compounds due tothe low temperature used for the sublimation of water Themajor drawback of this technique is the very long dryingtime required Hence it entails a low productivity and a largeconsumption of energy [87]The combination of microwaveswith freeze drying makes it possible to shorten the dryingtime (eg 40 in the case of the drying of protein of duck eggwhite) without modification of the nutritional quality [87]
(iii) Microwave-Assisted Vacuum Drying (MWVD) Likefreeze drying vacuum drying preserves the characteristics ofthe dried product but it also has the same drawbacks namelya long drying time and a strong energy consumption Thusthe combination of microwaves with vacuum drying allows a

better anthocyanin retention and a better antioxidant activityin the case ofMWVDof blueberries [87] In general MWVDmakes it possible to obtain dried products of a quality as goodas those obtained by freeze drying with a colour closer to thefresh product in the case of tomato carrot and banana [88]
(iv) Microwave-Assisted IR Drying (MWIRD) IR radiation ischaracterized by a shallow depth of penetration inside theproduct Therefore once the EM energy is absorbed at thesurface it is transmitted to the interior of the product byconduction which brings IR drying closer to conventionalhot air dryingThe combination of IRwithmicrowaves allowsa faster and more homogeneous heating of the product anda quicker drying of the product with an improved qualityThus in the case ofMWIRD of raspberries a 24 times highercrustiness a 2563 higher rehydration a 1755 additionalretention of anthocyanins and a 2121 higher antioxidantactivity were obtained in relation to IR drying [88]
(v) Ultrasound-Assisted Drying (UAD) Ultrasonication isone of several techniques used in the concept of hybridprocesses It has already been applied to drying amongother processes [89] The mechanical energy provided byultrasound contributes to the reduction of internal and exter-nal resistances to mass transfer and particularly to watertransfer thanks to expansion and compression cycles (spongeeffect) [81] In addition microstreaming is produced at theinterfaces because of high-intensity airborne ultrasoundwhich reduces the diffusion boundary layer This leads todiffusion enhancement and hence to mass transfer increase[81 90] Musielak et al [91] indicate that the first studieson the use of ultrasound in drying were carried out inthe 1950s However even if there is a renewed interest onthis technology in recent years it remains for the momentlimited to laboratory scale [90]
Numerous studies show the interest of combining ultra-sound with a convective drying process to reduce energyconsumption and drying time as well as to improvethe quality of the dried product Szadzinska et al [92]compared a convective drying (CVD) to different hybriddrying processesmdashconvective-ultrasonic drying (CVUD)convective-microwave-ultrasonic drying (CVMWUD) andconvective-microwave drying (CVMWD)mdashin drying ofstrawberry In all cases the hybrid processes made it possibleto obtain lower energy consumption and shorter drying timethan the convective drying The energy consumption gainwas only 64 in CVUD while it reached about 82 inCVMWUD and even 89 in CVMWD Likewise the dryingtime was reduced by 52 and 93 in CVUD and CVMWDrespectively
35 Drying Optimization The combination of several dryingtechniquesmakes it possible to obtain synergistic effects bothon the preservation of the bioactive compounds and on theenergy consumption However it is necessary to optimizethese processes since many factors of the process can have adecisive impact on the quality of the dried product In thepast years the food processes optimization was performedby observing the effect of variation of a single variable at
a time on an experimental response keeping constant allothers This technique has the disadvantage of requiringnumerous tests and it does not take into account the effect ofinteractions between variables on the assessed responses [93]These difficulties can be circumvented using the ResponseSurfaceMethodology (RSM)Thismethod consists in linkingeach studied response of the process to the different inputs(the factors) by means of a quadratic model [93] Thismethod is regularly used for the optimization of dryingprocesses as reported by different authors The goal pursuedin these different studies was to optimize drying conditionsfor preserving certain bioactive compounds such as beta-carotene and lycopene phenolic compounds and antioxidantactivity [94] vitamin C flavonoids and anthocyanins [95]
In fact RSM is a relatively efficient method for theoptimization of drying processes or others Nonetheless ithas some limitations (1) it uses a priori models Indeedwhatever the response studied a quadratic model is postu-lated which is not always adequate (2) The number of teststo be carried out increases very quickly with the numberof factors Thus a three-factor Box Behnken Design (BBD)requires 13 experiments whereas it is necessary to carry out29 experiments for a four-factor BBD (3) the factors mustbe fully independent (4) the uncontrolled factors of the plancannot be taken into account
These difficulties can be overcome using a methodproposed by Lesty [96] based on a new approach theCORICO method (ICOnographic CORrelation) CORICOis a multidimensional data analysis method that also allowsexperimental design analysis Its peculiarity with conven-tional optimization software based on the RSMmethodologyis that it does not use a priori models for the responsesIndeed it proposes a model only after the data analysis of theexperimental design (ED) Hence the shape of the modelswill be different from one response to another CORICOproposes regression models whose regressors are logicalinteractions (AND exclusiveOR IF etc) between the factorsUnlike conventional EDs CORICO accepts that factors arelinked and moreover it may take into account noncontrolledfactors Furthermore it requires very few tests to establish themodels of the ED Thus a CORICO design with five factorsrequires only 13 assays against a minimum of 31 assays for afive-factor Doehlert design
TheCORICOmethod has recently been used successfullyin the agrofood sector for the optimization of microalgaedrying process [97]
4 Dehydrated Foods with Probiotics
Due to the low stability of probiotic strains the food industryis facing a challenge to develop new functional food withprobiotics especially dehydrated food products Drying pro-biotic foods is a challenge as it causes severe loss in viabilityof probiotics
Generally food products are dried in order to increasetheir shelf life at ambient temperature and to reduce the costof frozen storage [58] Hot air drying freeze drying sprayand vacuum drying are the common technologies used fordrying food products Spray drying is the most common

and economical method for drying liquid foods Howeverthis process leads to a loss of viability of probiotic cells dueto the high temperature mechanical shearing dehydrationand osmotic pressure [98] On the other hand freeze dryingmaintains the viability of the probiotic cells but the cost ofthe process is one of the limitation for industrial application[99] Saarela et al [100] studied the stability and functionalityof freeze-dried probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactisE-2010 (Bb-12) cells during storage in juice and milk usingsucrose as cryoprotectant and low-pH to improve stabilityRecently fluidized bed drying and radiant energy undervacuum drying techniques have successfully been applied forimproving the stability of dehydrated probiotics [50 101]Noorbakhsh et al [50] studied the radiant energy undervacuum technology for producing probiotic enriched applesnacks They concluded that this technology a form ofvacuum microwave dehydration is a rapid drying methodresulting in productswith unique characteristicswhile retain-ing biological functions and properties The retention ofbiological activity is enhanced by the low drying temperatureand short drying time In the case of fruits and vegetablesthe gas and liquid in the intercellular spaces (20ndash25 ofthe total volume) can be removed by means of vacuumand replaced by diffusion with compounds of interest suchas microorganisms (bacteria L rhamnosus for example)minerals or other bioactive and nonbioactive compounds[10] This would lead to the development probiotic enricheddried fruits by vacuum impregnation The apple pieces wereair-dried at 40∘C to a water content of 037 kg water kgDMminus1and stored at room temperature for two months [50] Thecontent of L casei viable cells in the dried apple was greaterthan 106 cfu gminus1 which is similar to that in commercial dairyproducts In an attempt to introduce probiotic propertiesto breakfast cereals and similar food products Patel et al[102] confirmed that oat bran contained balanced nutrientsto support a 25-fold L plantarum propagation within arange of moisture content from 50 to 58 after 36 hof cultivation They applied the technique of solid-statefermentation This technique presents not only the potentialof simple downstream processing but also a more naturalgrowth environment for the target bacterium Consequencesof increasedmicrobial growth with lowwater content includeslowdown of the growth of spoilage microorganisms and thegeneration of microbial metabolites which in turn providea range of health benefits (Figure 2) On the other handthe adequacy of raw materials with regard to probioticstechnology (including finding solutions for the stability andviability problems of probiotics in food matrices such asfruits cereals and other vegetables) is certainly the key in theresearch and development area for functional food markets[50]
Some nondairy products with probiotics have been devel-oped in order to surpass the two main drawbacks of theconsumption of dairy products namely lactose intoleranceand the cholesterol content [104] In Table 4 are describedsome of the dehydrated functional plant foods that have beendeveloped Apple is still the preferred base although otherplant products may be used Nevertheless the fruit matrix isan important parameter to take into account because those

more porous fruits seem to facilitate the incorporation ofprobiotics in their tissues during immersion [105] andorduring vacuum impregnation [13] The probiotics testedinclude several bacteria Lactobacillus spp and Bifidobac-terium spp being among the strains most commonly usedBesides being generally considered to be safe for consumerssome Lactobacillus spp show interesting health effects Forexample Betoret et al [106] verified that Lactobacillus sali-varius incorporated in a low moisture apple snack showed apotential effect against H pylori infection
All studies performed until now tried to create a dry fruitmatrix with a high number of viable probiotic cells (gt1 times107 cfu gminus1) as suggested by Betoret et al [106] and Rego etal [107] To achieve this value it is important to (i) have ahigh cell concentration (approx 1010 cfumlminus1) in the initialsuspension in which the product will be immersed (ii) guar-antee a high adherence of the probiotics to the fruit matrixand (iii) assure that after drying the adhered cells still havehigh viability [107] Furthermore it is also important that theimpregnation liquid must present certain physicochemicalcharacteristics namely (i) the pH of the impregnation liquidand the fruitmust be suitable formicroorganismsrsquo growth (ii)the viscosity of the impregnation liquid should also allow fluxinside the pores or intercellular spaces and (iii) the naturalcharacteristics of the impregnated fruit should not be affected[106] Another important point to consider is the methodused to promote cells adherence because it might influencetheir viability By observing Table 4 vacuum impregnationis the most used method for probiotics impregnation intofruit matrices Nevertheless Rego et al [107] verified thatapple cubes that had been subjected to immersion undervacuum presented lower viable numbers of probiotic bacteriathan those cubes subjected to immersion at normal pressureand so no advantage such as the increase of the number ofadhered cells or the stability during drying was observed byusing vacuum Furthermore the vacuum immersed sampleshad worse visual aspect (with more damage) after dryingthan immersed samples at atmospheric pressure [107] Whenpreparing cylindrically shaped apple samples with probioticsBetoret et al [104] also observed that vacuum impregnationseemed to decrease the microbial content by one logarithmic

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

(time temperature atmosphere composition and others)Experimental studies have been conducted to reduce suchlosses by using pretreatments selection of adequate dryingmethods use of novel methods of drying and optimizationof drying conditions In the literature the methods reportedfor drying of food materials vary from solar techniques torecently developed microwave and heat pump drying [163ndash165] An overview of phytochemical losses prior to or duringdrying is provided in Table 7 From this table it becomesapparent that inert gas drying spray drying and freeze
drying produce negligiblelow losses of phytochemicals andvitamins namely carotene and vitamin C while microwavedrying results in high losses of carotenoids

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

3 Advances in Dehydration Technologiestowards Healthy Products
31 Drying and Its Consequences on the Product Quality andEnergy Consumption Drying is probably the most impor-tant unit operation for most industrial processes especiallybecause of its impact on the quality of the end product andon energy consumption [65] Thus according to Chua etal [66] this process would be the most energy-intensiveamong all industries with consumption of dried foods about10ndash25 of total consumption In most cases drying involvesthe application of different temperature conditions whichmay cause irreversible damage In the case of freeze dryingthe temperature applied can be minus30∘C or minus80∘C and in thecase of other methods such as air drying or spray dryingthe temperatures can be 45ndash80∘C or 125ndash140∘C respectivelyChanges may occur in cellular structures (cell membranes)
constituting probiotics cells and in key properties responsiblefor the product functionality (cell membrane permeabilitymechanical strength of the cell membrane assembly etc)[58 67 68] Moreover drying might cause changes in thechemical structures responsible for the biological value ofvarious bioactive components (protein fat) [67] Besidesdrying with hot air can induce reactions mainly of oxidationwhich decrease the functional value of nutritive compounds(vitamin antioxidant) This must be put into perspective fac-ing the high reactivity of phytochemicals leading to variousdegrees of degradation during processing [69]
Since the drying process always comprises a secondphase which is generally long to very long depending onthe hygroscopicity of the product it is mainly responsiblefor the numerous adverse effects that are linked to dryingMost organic products are in fact deeply modified by drying(colour taste texture nutritional characteristics functional

properties etc) [70] The bioactive compounds are thusparticularly altered during this drying phase Thereforeobviously this phase andor its consequences on the qualityof the dried products are sought to be reduced by new dryingtechniques and optimization of drying processes
32 Conventional Techniques Used for Drying Foods or Func-tional Ingredients The most commonly used techniques toproduce fruit or vegetable powder are freeze drying foamdrying drum drying and spray drying [71] Freeze drying isthe technique that allows the best preservation of phytochem-icals and their bioactivity in fruit and vegetable powders [71]It is themost widely used technique for drying probiotics butin view of its high operating costs and low productivity [71]spray drying seems to be a good alternative for production ofprobiotics powder at industrial scale [72]
In spray drying it is often necessary to use a carrieragent for the product to be atomized [73] Shishir and Chen[71] reported about thirty studies in the literature on thespray drying of various fruit or vegetable juices showingthat different phytochemicals (anthocyanins total flavonoidstotal polyphenol gingerol etc) were more or less preserveddepending on the type and concentration of the carrier agentused (maltodextrin Arabic gum inulin mixture of carrieragents etc)
Spray drying is also used for the drying of probioticsThecarrier agents allow the preservation of molecules of interestor probiotics by their encapsulation effect [74] Concerningprobiotics the main question is the viability of the cells afterdrying Spray drying to produce probiotic fruit powders willbe discussed in Section 4
33 Drying Kinetics versus Kinetic Degradation of Indicators ofInterest Alteration of product quality during drying is linkedto the time-temperature couple Low temperatures tend tohave a positive effect on the quality of the final productwhich is generally found in low temperature processes such asfreeze drying or vacuumdrying Similarly short drying timesallow better preservation of bioactive compounds [69] Thissituation is found for fast drying processes such as spray ordrumdrying In general degradation ofmost phytochemicalsand probiotics follows first-order or a pseudo first-orderkinetics [69] Hence good fits with first-order kinetic modelsapplied to thermal degradation of different phytochemicalswere obtained by several authors This is the case for thedegradation of anthocyanins [75ndash78] as well as polyphenols[75 78 79] However simple first-order models are notsuitable when the residual concentration of the bioactivecompound is different from 0 for a very long heating timeThe kinetics of degradation of the bioactive compound isthen described by an equation called first-order fractionalconversion kinetic model [80]
Whatever the order of the thermal degradation reactionthe rate constant of the kinetic depends on the temperatureaccording to the Arrhenius equation [75ndash77 79] and nor-mally the rate of degradation of biocompounds or probioticsis higher at high temperatures However during convectivedrying it is possible to obtain a lower degradation of somebioactive compounds such as polyphenol (total polyphenol
content TPC) and flavonoids at higher temperatures [81]The same trend was observed for TPC loss in convectivedrying of carrot peels [82] and blueberries [83] Hencethe residual content of bioactive compounds after dryingdepends at least on three parameters its initial contentthe temperature and the duration of the drying [78ndash80]Therefore to minimize the degradation of bioactive com-pounds or probiotics drying processes at low temperature(freeze drying vacuumdrying)may be used However underthese conditions the drying time will necessarily be longTherefore the alternative is to use short dryingmethods suchas spray drying drum drying dielectric drying microwavedrying and infrared (IR) drying In these cases the dryingtemperature will necessarily be high but the duration willbe short which makes it possible to limit the degradation ofbiocompounds and probiotics Clearly the kinetics of dryingmust be sufficiently rapid with respect to the kinetics ofdegradation of the compounds of interest It is approximatelyone of the targeted goals with advanced drying techniques
34 AdvancedDryingTechniques Even though freeze dryingvacuum drying or spray drying techniques limit the degra-dation of bioactive compounds they are either unsuitable forthe drying of certain products or have too low productivityand excessively high operating cost to be implemented atindustrial scale Conversely the other techniques of conven-tional drying by hot air (cabinet tunnel etc) have a strongnegative effect on the retention of bioactive compoundsFor this reason advanced drying techniques have beenproposed for many years The majority of these techniqueshave one thing in common the type of energy used whichis always of electromagnetic (EM) nature radio frequency(RF) microwave (MW) IR and ultraviolet (UV) These newtechniques can be used alone or in combination with oneanother or with conventional techniques
341 Dielectric and Microwave Drying Actually from aphysical point of view the notion of dielectric heating canbe applied to all frequencies from high frequencies to IRHowever from a practical point of view the term dielectricheating is reserved for frequencies between 1 and 100MHzwhile the MW heating is between 300MHz and 300GHz[84]
Throughout MW drying of high moisture content prod-uct the high energy density absorbed results in a rapidincrease in temperature and an instantaneous vaporizationinside the product [65] The internal pressure increases andexpulsion of liquidwater towards the surface occurs [84]Thisphenomenon has been observed by many authors in the caseof different products (cotton wood slices of oranges applecarrot etc) This outflow of water limits the phenomenonof crusting and browning of the surface contrary to what isobserved in conventional drying This also results in highdrying rates leading to considerable reduction in the dryingtime Even if the drying speed is always faster than that of hotair drying the drying efficiency is limited due to the rapidsaturation of the air whose temperature is relatively low atthe surface of the product For this reason microwaves are

generally associated with hot air to improve water transfer atthe product surface
At this stage two fundamental points radically differ-entiating dielectric drying from hot air drying should bementioned (1) during convective drying by hot air thesurface temperature of the product evolves until reaching theair temperature at the end of drying and it is worth notingthat it can in no case exceed this temperature This explainswhy it is sufficient to dry thermosensitive products at lowair temperature to prevent their alteration Regarding MWdrying there is no real limit to the temperature rise of theproduct except temperatures leading to its carbonization andits destruction (2)Given that drying involves removingwaterfrom a product this action will have a decisive effect on howthe product will behave vis-a-vis the EMwave during dryingSince water is the main molecule of the product concernedby the absorption of EM energy the dielectric properties (1205761015840and 12057610158401015840) of the product will tend to evolve during drying Formost products the values of these properties will drop duringthe two phases of the drying process [84] 12057610158401015840 falls very quicklythroughout the drying of the free water (1st phase) and then12057610158401015840 decreases with a lower slope after the critical moisturecontent corresponding to the beginning of drying of thebound water The critical moisture content is between 10 and40 (dry basis) for highly hygroscopic products and about 1for nonhygroscopic products [84] From what has just beensaid and from point (1) it could be concluded that this israther positive for controlling the temperature of the productand therefore its quality at the end of drying Things are notso simple because several other elements must be taken intoconsideration Firstly if the applied power is kept constantduring drying (as is the case in most studies in the literature)the energy density delivered to the product which can beevaluated by the specific power applied (ie the ratio betweenthe applied MW power and the mass product) increasesduring drying Kone et al [85] showed that this evolutionwas exponential with drying time in the case of drying oftomatoes by microwaveshot air In other words more andmore energy is being supplied to the product when less andless is needed The consequence of this is the phenomenaof thermal runaway reported in many studies on microwavedrying In addition another aspect must be considerednamely the change of the thermal properties of the productduring drying Indeed the thermal properties of foods alsodepend on their moisture content Thus the specific heatand the thermal diffusivity of the product decrease duringdrying Hence it takes less and less energy to heat the productand similarly an area of the product that has undergoneoverheating will find it increasingly difficult to evacuate itsoverflow of heat by diffusion All these elements make itpossible to understand that even if the dielectric properties ofthe product decrease during drying phenomena of thermalrunaway during microwave drying may arise [86] The onlysolution to control the quality of the product during amicrowave drying is therefore to control the energy supplyby adapting the specific power as a function of the moisturecontent by acting on the power applied By applying sucha strategy Kone et al [85] succeed in drying of tomato bymicrowavehot air with an improvement in the colour of the
dried product and in the residual content of lycopene Wemay conclude by saying that the management of the energysupplied to the product during drying and the optimizationtechniquesmay be useful for the control of microwave dryingin terms of organoleptic and nutritional qualities and energyconsumption
342 Hybrid Drying Techniques More and more studieshave suggested the synergistic effects of the combinationof different drying techniques on the quality of the driedproduct and on the performance of the drying process(drying time and energy consumption) Some hybrid drying(HD) techniques are presented below
(i) Microwave-Assisted Hot Air Drying (MWHAD) The sim-plest combination imaginable for microwave drying is itscombination with hot air drying It is also the one that is byfar the most used according to the literature Schiffmann [84]retains three possiblemodes from a perspective of applicationat industrial scale (1) Preheating The microwaves are used topreheat the product and subsequently the drying continueswith hot air only The instantaneous generation of steaminside the product due to the absorption of the MW energyforces the flow of water towards the surface thus allowingconventional hot air drying to operate under conditions ofmaximum efficiency (2) Booster Drying Drying starts withhot air only and the MW energy is fed when the dryingrate begins to fall The surface of the product being dry atthis point by the effect of pumping on the internal water ofthe product the MW energy leads to the rewetting of thesurface which makes it possible to maintain a high dryingrate (3) Finish Drying The falling phase of the drying rate isresponsible for the greatest degradation of the product qualitydue to its length (more than two-thirds of the total dryingtime) By introducing microwaves at the beginning of thisphase internal energy generation allows the bound water tobe pushed towards the product surface which increases thedrying rate and thus reduces the drying time
This combination of microwaves and hot air results in animprovement of the quality of the dried product as well asa reduction of the drying time and energy consumption [6584]
(ii) Microwave-Assisted Freeze Drying (MWFD) Freeze dry-ing provides a good quality of the dried product by preventingthe degradation of the thermosensitive compounds due tothe low temperature used for the sublimation of water Themajor drawback of this technique is the very long dryingtime required Hence it entails a low productivity and a largeconsumption of energy [87]The combination of microwaveswith freeze drying makes it possible to shorten the dryingtime (eg 40 in the case of the drying of protein of duck eggwhite) without modification of the nutritional quality [87]
(iii) Microwave-Assisted Vacuum Drying (MWVD) Likefreeze drying vacuum drying preserves the characteristics ofthe dried product but it also has the same drawbacks namelya long drying time and a strong energy consumption Thusthe combination of microwaves with vacuum drying allows a

better anthocyanin retention and a better antioxidant activityin the case ofMWVDof blueberries [87] In general MWVDmakes it possible to obtain dried products of a quality as goodas those obtained by freeze drying with a colour closer to thefresh product in the case of tomato carrot and banana [88]
(iv) Microwave-Assisted IR Drying (MWIRD) IR radiation ischaracterized by a shallow depth of penetration inside theproduct Therefore once the EM energy is absorbed at thesurface it is transmitted to the interior of the product byconduction which brings IR drying closer to conventionalhot air dryingThe combination of IRwithmicrowaves allowsa faster and more homogeneous heating of the product anda quicker drying of the product with an improved qualityThus in the case ofMWIRD of raspberries a 24 times highercrustiness a 2563 higher rehydration a 1755 additionalretention of anthocyanins and a 2121 higher antioxidantactivity were obtained in relation to IR drying [88]
(v) Ultrasound-Assisted Drying (UAD) Ultrasonication isone of several techniques used in the concept of hybridprocesses It has already been applied to drying amongother processes [89] The mechanical energy provided byultrasound contributes to the reduction of internal and exter-nal resistances to mass transfer and particularly to watertransfer thanks to expansion and compression cycles (spongeeffect) [81] In addition microstreaming is produced at theinterfaces because of high-intensity airborne ultrasoundwhich reduces the diffusion boundary layer This leads todiffusion enhancement and hence to mass transfer increase[81 90] Musielak et al [91] indicate that the first studieson the use of ultrasound in drying were carried out inthe 1950s However even if there is a renewed interest onthis technology in recent years it remains for the momentlimited to laboratory scale [90]
Numerous studies show the interest of combining ultra-sound with a convective drying process to reduce energyconsumption and drying time as well as to improvethe quality of the dried product Szadzinska et al [92]compared a convective drying (CVD) to different hybriddrying processesmdashconvective-ultrasonic drying (CVUD)convective-microwave-ultrasonic drying (CVMWUD) andconvective-microwave drying (CVMWD)mdashin drying ofstrawberry In all cases the hybrid processes made it possibleto obtain lower energy consumption and shorter drying timethan the convective drying The energy consumption gainwas only 64 in CVUD while it reached about 82 inCVMWUD and even 89 in CVMWD Likewise the dryingtime was reduced by 52 and 93 in CVUD and CVMWDrespectively
35 Drying Optimization The combination of several dryingtechniquesmakes it possible to obtain synergistic effects bothon the preservation of the bioactive compounds and on theenergy consumption However it is necessary to optimizethese processes since many factors of the process can have adecisive impact on the quality of the dried product In thepast years the food processes optimization was performedby observing the effect of variation of a single variable at
a time on an experimental response keeping constant allothers This technique has the disadvantage of requiringnumerous tests and it does not take into account the effect ofinteractions between variables on the assessed responses [93]These difficulties can be circumvented using the ResponseSurfaceMethodology (RSM)Thismethod consists in linkingeach studied response of the process to the different inputs(the factors) by means of a quadratic model [93] Thismethod is regularly used for the optimization of dryingprocesses as reported by different authors The goal pursuedin these different studies was to optimize drying conditionsfor preserving certain bioactive compounds such as beta-carotene and lycopene phenolic compounds and antioxidantactivity [94] vitamin C flavonoids and anthocyanins [95]
In fact RSM is a relatively efficient method for theoptimization of drying processes or others Nonetheless ithas some limitations (1) it uses a priori models Indeedwhatever the response studied a quadratic model is postu-lated which is not always adequate (2) The number of teststo be carried out increases very quickly with the numberof factors Thus a three-factor Box Behnken Design (BBD)requires 13 experiments whereas it is necessary to carry out29 experiments for a four-factor BBD (3) the factors mustbe fully independent (4) the uncontrolled factors of the plancannot be taken into account
These difficulties can be overcome using a methodproposed by Lesty [96] based on a new approach theCORICO method (ICOnographic CORrelation) CORICOis a multidimensional data analysis method that also allowsexperimental design analysis Its peculiarity with conven-tional optimization software based on the RSMmethodologyis that it does not use a priori models for the responsesIndeed it proposes a model only after the data analysis of theexperimental design (ED) Hence the shape of the modelswill be different from one response to another CORICOproposes regression models whose regressors are logicalinteractions (AND exclusiveOR IF etc) between the factorsUnlike conventional EDs CORICO accepts that factors arelinked and moreover it may take into account noncontrolledfactors Furthermore it requires very few tests to establish themodels of the ED Thus a CORICO design with five factorsrequires only 13 assays against a minimum of 31 assays for afive-factor Doehlert design
TheCORICOmethod has recently been used successfullyin the agrofood sector for the optimization of microalgaedrying process [97]
4 Dehydrated Foods with Probiotics
Due to the low stability of probiotic strains the food industryis facing a challenge to develop new functional food withprobiotics especially dehydrated food products Drying pro-biotic foods is a challenge as it causes severe loss in viabilityof probiotics
Generally food products are dried in order to increasetheir shelf life at ambient temperature and to reduce the costof frozen storage [58] Hot air drying freeze drying sprayand vacuum drying are the common technologies used fordrying food products Spray drying is the most common

and economical method for drying liquid foods Howeverthis process leads to a loss of viability of probiotic cells dueto the high temperature mechanical shearing dehydrationand osmotic pressure [98] On the other hand freeze dryingmaintains the viability of the probiotic cells but the cost ofthe process is one of the limitation for industrial application[99] Saarela et al [100] studied the stability and functionalityof freeze-dried probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactisE-2010 (Bb-12) cells during storage in juice and milk usingsucrose as cryoprotectant and low-pH to improve stabilityRecently fluidized bed drying and radiant energy undervacuum drying techniques have successfully been applied forimproving the stability of dehydrated probiotics [50 101]Noorbakhsh et al [50] studied the radiant energy undervacuum technology for producing probiotic enriched applesnacks They concluded that this technology a form ofvacuum microwave dehydration is a rapid drying methodresulting in productswith unique characteristicswhile retain-ing biological functions and properties The retention ofbiological activity is enhanced by the low drying temperatureand short drying time In the case of fruits and vegetablesthe gas and liquid in the intercellular spaces (20ndash25 ofthe total volume) can be removed by means of vacuumand replaced by diffusion with compounds of interest suchas microorganisms (bacteria L rhamnosus for example)minerals or other bioactive and nonbioactive compounds[10] This would lead to the development probiotic enricheddried fruits by vacuum impregnation The apple pieces wereair-dried at 40∘C to a water content of 037 kg water kgDMminus1and stored at room temperature for two months [50] Thecontent of L casei viable cells in the dried apple was greaterthan 106 cfu gminus1 which is similar to that in commercial dairyproducts In an attempt to introduce probiotic propertiesto breakfast cereals and similar food products Patel et al[102] confirmed that oat bran contained balanced nutrientsto support a 25-fold L plantarum propagation within arange of moisture content from 50 to 58 after 36 hof cultivation They applied the technique of solid-statefermentation This technique presents not only the potentialof simple downstream processing but also a more naturalgrowth environment for the target bacterium Consequencesof increasedmicrobial growth with lowwater content includeslowdown of the growth of spoilage microorganisms and thegeneration of microbial metabolites which in turn providea range of health benefits (Figure 2) On the other handthe adequacy of raw materials with regard to probioticstechnology (including finding solutions for the stability andviability problems of probiotics in food matrices such asfruits cereals and other vegetables) is certainly the key in theresearch and development area for functional food markets[50]
Some nondairy products with probiotics have been devel-oped in order to surpass the two main drawbacks of theconsumption of dairy products namely lactose intoleranceand the cholesterol content [104] In Table 4 are describedsome of the dehydrated functional plant foods that have beendeveloped Apple is still the preferred base although otherplant products may be used Nevertheless the fruit matrix isan important parameter to take into account because those

more porous fruits seem to facilitate the incorporation ofprobiotics in their tissues during immersion [105] andorduring vacuum impregnation [13] The probiotics testedinclude several bacteria Lactobacillus spp and Bifidobac-terium spp being among the strains most commonly usedBesides being generally considered to be safe for consumerssome Lactobacillus spp show interesting health effects Forexample Betoret et al [106] verified that Lactobacillus sali-varius incorporated in a low moisture apple snack showed apotential effect against H pylori infection
All studies performed until now tried to create a dry fruitmatrix with a high number of viable probiotic cells (gt1 times107 cfu gminus1) as suggested by Betoret et al [106] and Rego etal [107] To achieve this value it is important to (i) have ahigh cell concentration (approx 1010 cfumlminus1) in the initialsuspension in which the product will be immersed (ii) guar-antee a high adherence of the probiotics to the fruit matrixand (iii) assure that after drying the adhered cells still havehigh viability [107] Furthermore it is also important that theimpregnation liquid must present certain physicochemicalcharacteristics namely (i) the pH of the impregnation liquidand the fruitmust be suitable formicroorganismsrsquo growth (ii)the viscosity of the impregnation liquid should also allow fluxinside the pores or intercellular spaces and (iii) the naturalcharacteristics of the impregnated fruit should not be affected[106] Another important point to consider is the methodused to promote cells adherence because it might influencetheir viability By observing Table 4 vacuum impregnationis the most used method for probiotics impregnation intofruit matrices Nevertheless Rego et al [107] verified thatapple cubes that had been subjected to immersion undervacuum presented lower viable numbers of probiotic bacteriathan those cubes subjected to immersion at normal pressureand so no advantage such as the increase of the number ofadhered cells or the stability during drying was observed byusing vacuum Furthermore the vacuum immersed sampleshad worse visual aspect (with more damage) after dryingthan immersed samples at atmospheric pressure [107] Whenpreparing cylindrically shaped apple samples with probioticsBetoret et al [104] also observed that vacuum impregnationseemed to decrease the microbial content by one logarithmic

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage

Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

properties etc) [70] The bioactive compounds are thusparticularly altered during this drying phase Thereforeobviously this phase andor its consequences on the qualityof the dried products are sought to be reduced by new dryingtechniques and optimization of drying processes
32 Conventional Techniques Used for Drying Foods or Func-tional Ingredients The most commonly used techniques toproduce fruit or vegetable powder are freeze drying foamdrying drum drying and spray drying [71] Freeze drying isthe technique that allows the best preservation of phytochem-icals and their bioactivity in fruit and vegetable powders [71]It is themost widely used technique for drying probiotics butin view of its high operating costs and low productivity [71]spray drying seems to be a good alternative for production ofprobiotics powder at industrial scale [72]
In spray drying it is often necessary to use a carrieragent for the product to be atomized [73] Shishir and Chen[71] reported about thirty studies in the literature on thespray drying of various fruit or vegetable juices showingthat different phytochemicals (anthocyanins total flavonoidstotal polyphenol gingerol etc) were more or less preserveddepending on the type and concentration of the carrier agentused (maltodextrin Arabic gum inulin mixture of carrieragents etc)
Spray drying is also used for the drying of probioticsThecarrier agents allow the preservation of molecules of interestor probiotics by their encapsulation effect [74] Concerningprobiotics the main question is the viability of the cells afterdrying Spray drying to produce probiotic fruit powders willbe discussed in Section 4
33 Drying Kinetics versus Kinetic Degradation of Indicators ofInterest Alteration of product quality during drying is linkedto the time-temperature couple Low temperatures tend tohave a positive effect on the quality of the final productwhich is generally found in low temperature processes such asfreeze drying or vacuumdrying Similarly short drying timesallow better preservation of bioactive compounds [69] Thissituation is found for fast drying processes such as spray ordrumdrying In general degradation ofmost phytochemicalsand probiotics follows first-order or a pseudo first-orderkinetics [69] Hence good fits with first-order kinetic modelsapplied to thermal degradation of different phytochemicalswere obtained by several authors This is the case for thedegradation of anthocyanins [75ndash78] as well as polyphenols[75 78 79] However simple first-order models are notsuitable when the residual concentration of the bioactivecompound is different from 0 for a very long heating timeThe kinetics of degradation of the bioactive compound isthen described by an equation called first-order fractionalconversion kinetic model [80]
Whatever the order of the thermal degradation reactionthe rate constant of the kinetic depends on the temperatureaccording to the Arrhenius equation [75ndash77 79] and nor-mally the rate of degradation of biocompounds or probioticsis higher at high temperatures However during convectivedrying it is possible to obtain a lower degradation of somebioactive compounds such as polyphenol (total polyphenol
content TPC) and flavonoids at higher temperatures [81]The same trend was observed for TPC loss in convectivedrying of carrot peels [82] and blueberries [83] Hencethe residual content of bioactive compounds after dryingdepends at least on three parameters its initial contentthe temperature and the duration of the drying [78ndash80]Therefore to minimize the degradation of bioactive com-pounds or probiotics drying processes at low temperature(freeze drying vacuumdrying)may be used However underthese conditions the drying time will necessarily be longTherefore the alternative is to use short dryingmethods suchas spray drying drum drying dielectric drying microwavedrying and infrared (IR) drying In these cases the dryingtemperature will necessarily be high but the duration willbe short which makes it possible to limit the degradation ofbiocompounds and probiotics Clearly the kinetics of dryingmust be sufficiently rapid with respect to the kinetics ofdegradation of the compounds of interest It is approximatelyone of the targeted goals with advanced drying techniques
34 AdvancedDryingTechniques Even though freeze dryingvacuum drying or spray drying techniques limit the degra-dation of bioactive compounds they are either unsuitable forthe drying of certain products or have too low productivityand excessively high operating cost to be implemented atindustrial scale Conversely the other techniques of conven-tional drying by hot air (cabinet tunnel etc) have a strongnegative effect on the retention of bioactive compoundsFor this reason advanced drying techniques have beenproposed for many years The majority of these techniqueshave one thing in common the type of energy used whichis always of electromagnetic (EM) nature radio frequency(RF) microwave (MW) IR and ultraviolet (UV) These newtechniques can be used alone or in combination with oneanother or with conventional techniques
341 Dielectric and Microwave Drying Actually from aphysical point of view the notion of dielectric heating canbe applied to all frequencies from high frequencies to IRHowever from a practical point of view the term dielectricheating is reserved for frequencies between 1 and 100MHzwhile the MW heating is between 300MHz and 300GHz[84]
Throughout MW drying of high moisture content prod-uct the high energy density absorbed results in a rapidincrease in temperature and an instantaneous vaporizationinside the product [65] The internal pressure increases andexpulsion of liquidwater towards the surface occurs [84]Thisphenomenon has been observed by many authors in the caseof different products (cotton wood slices of oranges applecarrot etc) This outflow of water limits the phenomenonof crusting and browning of the surface contrary to what isobserved in conventional drying This also results in highdrying rates leading to considerable reduction in the dryingtime Even if the drying speed is always faster than that of hotair drying the drying efficiency is limited due to the rapidsaturation of the air whose temperature is relatively low atthe surface of the product For this reason microwaves are

generally associated with hot air to improve water transfer atthe product surface
At this stage two fundamental points radically differ-entiating dielectric drying from hot air drying should bementioned (1) during convective drying by hot air thesurface temperature of the product evolves until reaching theair temperature at the end of drying and it is worth notingthat it can in no case exceed this temperature This explainswhy it is sufficient to dry thermosensitive products at lowair temperature to prevent their alteration Regarding MWdrying there is no real limit to the temperature rise of theproduct except temperatures leading to its carbonization andits destruction (2)Given that drying involves removingwaterfrom a product this action will have a decisive effect on howthe product will behave vis-a-vis the EMwave during dryingSince water is the main molecule of the product concernedby the absorption of EM energy the dielectric properties (1205761015840and 12057610158401015840) of the product will tend to evolve during drying Formost products the values of these properties will drop duringthe two phases of the drying process [84] 12057610158401015840 falls very quicklythroughout the drying of the free water (1st phase) and then12057610158401015840 decreases with a lower slope after the critical moisturecontent corresponding to the beginning of drying of thebound water The critical moisture content is between 10 and40 (dry basis) for highly hygroscopic products and about 1for nonhygroscopic products [84] From what has just beensaid and from point (1) it could be concluded that this israther positive for controlling the temperature of the productand therefore its quality at the end of drying Things are notso simple because several other elements must be taken intoconsideration Firstly if the applied power is kept constantduring drying (as is the case in most studies in the literature)the energy density delivered to the product which can beevaluated by the specific power applied (ie the ratio betweenthe applied MW power and the mass product) increasesduring drying Kone et al [85] showed that this evolutionwas exponential with drying time in the case of drying oftomatoes by microwaveshot air In other words more andmore energy is being supplied to the product when less andless is needed The consequence of this is the phenomenaof thermal runaway reported in many studies on microwavedrying In addition another aspect must be considerednamely the change of the thermal properties of the productduring drying Indeed the thermal properties of foods alsodepend on their moisture content Thus the specific heatand the thermal diffusivity of the product decrease duringdrying Hence it takes less and less energy to heat the productand similarly an area of the product that has undergoneoverheating will find it increasingly difficult to evacuate itsoverflow of heat by diffusion All these elements make itpossible to understand that even if the dielectric properties ofthe product decrease during drying phenomena of thermalrunaway during microwave drying may arise [86] The onlysolution to control the quality of the product during amicrowave drying is therefore to control the energy supplyby adapting the specific power as a function of the moisturecontent by acting on the power applied By applying sucha strategy Kone et al [85] succeed in drying of tomato bymicrowavehot air with an improvement in the colour of the
dried product and in the residual content of lycopene Wemay conclude by saying that the management of the energysupplied to the product during drying and the optimizationtechniquesmay be useful for the control of microwave dryingin terms of organoleptic and nutritional qualities and energyconsumption
342 Hybrid Drying Techniques More and more studieshave suggested the synergistic effects of the combinationof different drying techniques on the quality of the driedproduct and on the performance of the drying process(drying time and energy consumption) Some hybrid drying(HD) techniques are presented below
(i) Microwave-Assisted Hot Air Drying (MWHAD) The sim-plest combination imaginable for microwave drying is itscombination with hot air drying It is also the one that is byfar the most used according to the literature Schiffmann [84]retains three possiblemodes from a perspective of applicationat industrial scale (1) Preheating The microwaves are used topreheat the product and subsequently the drying continueswith hot air only The instantaneous generation of steaminside the product due to the absorption of the MW energyforces the flow of water towards the surface thus allowingconventional hot air drying to operate under conditions ofmaximum efficiency (2) Booster Drying Drying starts withhot air only and the MW energy is fed when the dryingrate begins to fall The surface of the product being dry atthis point by the effect of pumping on the internal water ofthe product the MW energy leads to the rewetting of thesurface which makes it possible to maintain a high dryingrate (3) Finish Drying The falling phase of the drying rate isresponsible for the greatest degradation of the product qualitydue to its length (more than two-thirds of the total dryingtime) By introducing microwaves at the beginning of thisphase internal energy generation allows the bound water tobe pushed towards the product surface which increases thedrying rate and thus reduces the drying time
This combination of microwaves and hot air results in animprovement of the quality of the dried product as well asa reduction of the drying time and energy consumption [6584]
(ii) Microwave-Assisted Freeze Drying (MWFD) Freeze dry-ing provides a good quality of the dried product by preventingthe degradation of the thermosensitive compounds due tothe low temperature used for the sublimation of water Themajor drawback of this technique is the very long dryingtime required Hence it entails a low productivity and a largeconsumption of energy [87]The combination of microwaveswith freeze drying makes it possible to shorten the dryingtime (eg 40 in the case of the drying of protein of duck eggwhite) without modification of the nutritional quality [87]
(iii) Microwave-Assisted Vacuum Drying (MWVD) Likefreeze drying vacuum drying preserves the characteristics ofthe dried product but it also has the same drawbacks namelya long drying time and a strong energy consumption Thusthe combination of microwaves with vacuum drying allows a

better anthocyanin retention and a better antioxidant activityin the case ofMWVDof blueberries [87] In general MWVDmakes it possible to obtain dried products of a quality as goodas those obtained by freeze drying with a colour closer to thefresh product in the case of tomato carrot and banana [88]
(iv) Microwave-Assisted IR Drying (MWIRD) IR radiation ischaracterized by a shallow depth of penetration inside theproduct Therefore once the EM energy is absorbed at thesurface it is transmitted to the interior of the product byconduction which brings IR drying closer to conventionalhot air dryingThe combination of IRwithmicrowaves allowsa faster and more homogeneous heating of the product anda quicker drying of the product with an improved qualityThus in the case ofMWIRD of raspberries a 24 times highercrustiness a 2563 higher rehydration a 1755 additionalretention of anthocyanins and a 2121 higher antioxidantactivity were obtained in relation to IR drying [88]
(v) Ultrasound-Assisted Drying (UAD) Ultrasonication isone of several techniques used in the concept of hybridprocesses It has already been applied to drying amongother processes [89] The mechanical energy provided byultrasound contributes to the reduction of internal and exter-nal resistances to mass transfer and particularly to watertransfer thanks to expansion and compression cycles (spongeeffect) [81] In addition microstreaming is produced at theinterfaces because of high-intensity airborne ultrasoundwhich reduces the diffusion boundary layer This leads todiffusion enhancement and hence to mass transfer increase[81 90] Musielak et al [91] indicate that the first studieson the use of ultrasound in drying were carried out inthe 1950s However even if there is a renewed interest onthis technology in recent years it remains for the momentlimited to laboratory scale [90]
Numerous studies show the interest of combining ultra-sound with a convective drying process to reduce energyconsumption and drying time as well as to improvethe quality of the dried product Szadzinska et al [92]compared a convective drying (CVD) to different hybriddrying processesmdashconvective-ultrasonic drying (CVUD)convective-microwave-ultrasonic drying (CVMWUD) andconvective-microwave drying (CVMWD)mdashin drying ofstrawberry In all cases the hybrid processes made it possibleto obtain lower energy consumption and shorter drying timethan the convective drying The energy consumption gainwas only 64 in CVUD while it reached about 82 inCVMWUD and even 89 in CVMWD Likewise the dryingtime was reduced by 52 and 93 in CVUD and CVMWDrespectively
35 Drying Optimization The combination of several dryingtechniquesmakes it possible to obtain synergistic effects bothon the preservation of the bioactive compounds and on theenergy consumption However it is necessary to optimizethese processes since many factors of the process can have adecisive impact on the quality of the dried product In thepast years the food processes optimization was performedby observing the effect of variation of a single variable at
a time on an experimental response keeping constant allothers This technique has the disadvantage of requiringnumerous tests and it does not take into account the effect ofinteractions between variables on the assessed responses [93]These difficulties can be circumvented using the ResponseSurfaceMethodology (RSM)Thismethod consists in linkingeach studied response of the process to the different inputs(the factors) by means of a quadratic model [93] Thismethod is regularly used for the optimization of dryingprocesses as reported by different authors The goal pursuedin these different studies was to optimize drying conditionsfor preserving certain bioactive compounds such as beta-carotene and lycopene phenolic compounds and antioxidantactivity [94] vitamin C flavonoids and anthocyanins [95]
In fact RSM is a relatively efficient method for theoptimization of drying processes or others Nonetheless ithas some limitations (1) it uses a priori models Indeedwhatever the response studied a quadratic model is postu-lated which is not always adequate (2) The number of teststo be carried out increases very quickly with the numberof factors Thus a three-factor Box Behnken Design (BBD)requires 13 experiments whereas it is necessary to carry out29 experiments for a four-factor BBD (3) the factors mustbe fully independent (4) the uncontrolled factors of the plancannot be taken into account
These difficulties can be overcome using a methodproposed by Lesty [96] based on a new approach theCORICO method (ICOnographic CORrelation) CORICOis a multidimensional data analysis method that also allowsexperimental design analysis Its peculiarity with conven-tional optimization software based on the RSMmethodologyis that it does not use a priori models for the responsesIndeed it proposes a model only after the data analysis of theexperimental design (ED) Hence the shape of the modelswill be different from one response to another CORICOproposes regression models whose regressors are logicalinteractions (AND exclusiveOR IF etc) between the factorsUnlike conventional EDs CORICO accepts that factors arelinked and moreover it may take into account noncontrolledfactors Furthermore it requires very few tests to establish themodels of the ED Thus a CORICO design with five factorsrequires only 13 assays against a minimum of 31 assays for afive-factor Doehlert design
TheCORICOmethod has recently been used successfullyin the agrofood sector for the optimization of microalgaedrying process [97]
4 Dehydrated Foods with Probiotics
Due to the low stability of probiotic strains the food industryis facing a challenge to develop new functional food withprobiotics especially dehydrated food products Drying pro-biotic foods is a challenge as it causes severe loss in viabilityof probiotics
Generally food products are dried in order to increasetheir shelf life at ambient temperature and to reduce the costof frozen storage [58] Hot air drying freeze drying sprayand vacuum drying are the common technologies used fordrying food products Spray drying is the most common

and economical method for drying liquid foods Howeverthis process leads to a loss of viability of probiotic cells dueto the high temperature mechanical shearing dehydrationand osmotic pressure [98] On the other hand freeze dryingmaintains the viability of the probiotic cells but the cost ofthe process is one of the limitation for industrial application[99] Saarela et al [100] studied the stability and functionalityof freeze-dried probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactisE-2010 (Bb-12) cells during storage in juice and milk usingsucrose as cryoprotectant and low-pH to improve stabilityRecently fluidized bed drying and radiant energy undervacuum drying techniques have successfully been applied forimproving the stability of dehydrated probiotics [50 101]Noorbakhsh et al [50] studied the radiant energy undervacuum technology for producing probiotic enriched applesnacks They concluded that this technology a form ofvacuum microwave dehydration is a rapid drying methodresulting in productswith unique characteristicswhile retain-ing biological functions and properties The retention ofbiological activity is enhanced by the low drying temperatureand short drying time In the case of fruits and vegetablesthe gas and liquid in the intercellular spaces (20ndash25 ofthe total volume) can be removed by means of vacuumand replaced by diffusion with compounds of interest suchas microorganisms (bacteria L rhamnosus for example)minerals or other bioactive and nonbioactive compounds[10] This would lead to the development probiotic enricheddried fruits by vacuum impregnation The apple pieces wereair-dried at 40∘C to a water content of 037 kg water kgDMminus1and stored at room temperature for two months [50] Thecontent of L casei viable cells in the dried apple was greaterthan 106 cfu gminus1 which is similar to that in commercial dairyproducts In an attempt to introduce probiotic propertiesto breakfast cereals and similar food products Patel et al[102] confirmed that oat bran contained balanced nutrientsto support a 25-fold L plantarum propagation within arange of moisture content from 50 to 58 after 36 hof cultivation They applied the technique of solid-statefermentation This technique presents not only the potentialof simple downstream processing but also a more naturalgrowth environment for the target bacterium Consequencesof increasedmicrobial growth with lowwater content includeslowdown of the growth of spoilage microorganisms and thegeneration of microbial metabolites which in turn providea range of health benefits (Figure 2) On the other handthe adequacy of raw materials with regard to probioticstechnology (including finding solutions for the stability andviability problems of probiotics in food matrices such asfruits cereals and other vegetables) is certainly the key in theresearch and development area for functional food markets[50]
Some nondairy products with probiotics have been devel-oped in order to surpass the two main drawbacks of theconsumption of dairy products namely lactose intoleranceand the cholesterol content [104] In Table 4 are describedsome of the dehydrated functional plant foods that have beendeveloped Apple is still the preferred base although otherplant products may be used Nevertheless the fruit matrix isan important parameter to take into account because those

more porous fruits seem to facilitate the incorporation ofprobiotics in their tissues during immersion [105] andorduring vacuum impregnation [13] The probiotics testedinclude several bacteria Lactobacillus spp and Bifidobac-terium spp being among the strains most commonly usedBesides being generally considered to be safe for consumerssome Lactobacillus spp show interesting health effects Forexample Betoret et al [106] verified that Lactobacillus sali-varius incorporated in a low moisture apple snack showed apotential effect against H pylori infection
All studies performed until now tried to create a dry fruitmatrix with a high number of viable probiotic cells (gt1 times107 cfu gminus1) as suggested by Betoret et al [106] and Rego etal [107] To achieve this value it is important to (i) have ahigh cell concentration (approx 1010 cfumlminus1) in the initialsuspension in which the product will be immersed (ii) guar-antee a high adherence of the probiotics to the fruit matrixand (iii) assure that after drying the adhered cells still havehigh viability [107] Furthermore it is also important that theimpregnation liquid must present certain physicochemicalcharacteristics namely (i) the pH of the impregnation liquidand the fruitmust be suitable formicroorganismsrsquo growth (ii)the viscosity of the impregnation liquid should also allow fluxinside the pores or intercellular spaces and (iii) the naturalcharacteristics of the impregnated fruit should not be affected[106] Another important point to consider is the methodused to promote cells adherence because it might influencetheir viability By observing Table 4 vacuum impregnationis the most used method for probiotics impregnation intofruit matrices Nevertheless Rego et al [107] verified thatapple cubes that had been subjected to immersion undervacuum presented lower viable numbers of probiotic bacteriathan those cubes subjected to immersion at normal pressureand so no advantage such as the increase of the number ofadhered cells or the stability during drying was observed byusing vacuum Furthermore the vacuum immersed sampleshad worse visual aspect (with more damage) after dryingthan immersed samples at atmospheric pressure [107] Whenpreparing cylindrically shaped apple samples with probioticsBetoret et al [104] also observed that vacuum impregnationseemed to decrease the microbial content by one logarithmic

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

generally associated with hot air to improve water transfer atthe product surface
At this stage two fundamental points radically differ-entiating dielectric drying from hot air drying should bementioned (1) during convective drying by hot air thesurface temperature of the product evolves until reaching theair temperature at the end of drying and it is worth notingthat it can in no case exceed this temperature This explainswhy it is sufficient to dry thermosensitive products at lowair temperature to prevent their alteration Regarding MWdrying there is no real limit to the temperature rise of theproduct except temperatures leading to its carbonization andits destruction (2)Given that drying involves removingwaterfrom a product this action will have a decisive effect on howthe product will behave vis-a-vis the EMwave during dryingSince water is the main molecule of the product concernedby the absorption of EM energy the dielectric properties (1205761015840and 12057610158401015840) of the product will tend to evolve during drying Formost products the values of these properties will drop duringthe two phases of the drying process [84] 12057610158401015840 falls very quicklythroughout the drying of the free water (1st phase) and then12057610158401015840 decreases with a lower slope after the critical moisturecontent corresponding to the beginning of drying of thebound water The critical moisture content is between 10 and40 (dry basis) for highly hygroscopic products and about 1for nonhygroscopic products [84] From what has just beensaid and from point (1) it could be concluded that this israther positive for controlling the temperature of the productand therefore its quality at the end of drying Things are notso simple because several other elements must be taken intoconsideration Firstly if the applied power is kept constantduring drying (as is the case in most studies in the literature)the energy density delivered to the product which can beevaluated by the specific power applied (ie the ratio betweenthe applied MW power and the mass product) increasesduring drying Kone et al [85] showed that this evolutionwas exponential with drying time in the case of drying oftomatoes by microwaveshot air In other words more andmore energy is being supplied to the product when less andless is needed The consequence of this is the phenomenaof thermal runaway reported in many studies on microwavedrying In addition another aspect must be considerednamely the change of the thermal properties of the productduring drying Indeed the thermal properties of foods alsodepend on their moisture content Thus the specific heatand the thermal diffusivity of the product decrease duringdrying Hence it takes less and less energy to heat the productand similarly an area of the product that has undergoneoverheating will find it increasingly difficult to evacuate itsoverflow of heat by diffusion All these elements make itpossible to understand that even if the dielectric properties ofthe product decrease during drying phenomena of thermalrunaway during microwave drying may arise [86] The onlysolution to control the quality of the product during amicrowave drying is therefore to control the energy supplyby adapting the specific power as a function of the moisturecontent by acting on the power applied By applying sucha strategy Kone et al [85] succeed in drying of tomato bymicrowavehot air with an improvement in the colour of the
dried product and in the residual content of lycopene Wemay conclude by saying that the management of the energysupplied to the product during drying and the optimizationtechniquesmay be useful for the control of microwave dryingin terms of organoleptic and nutritional qualities and energyconsumption
342 Hybrid Drying Techniques More and more studieshave suggested the synergistic effects of the combinationof different drying techniques on the quality of the driedproduct and on the performance of the drying process(drying time and energy consumption) Some hybrid drying(HD) techniques are presented below
(i) Microwave-Assisted Hot Air Drying (MWHAD) The sim-plest combination imaginable for microwave drying is itscombination with hot air drying It is also the one that is byfar the most used according to the literature Schiffmann [84]retains three possiblemodes from a perspective of applicationat industrial scale (1) Preheating The microwaves are used topreheat the product and subsequently the drying continueswith hot air only The instantaneous generation of steaminside the product due to the absorption of the MW energyforces the flow of water towards the surface thus allowingconventional hot air drying to operate under conditions ofmaximum efficiency (2) Booster Drying Drying starts withhot air only and the MW energy is fed when the dryingrate begins to fall The surface of the product being dry atthis point by the effect of pumping on the internal water ofthe product the MW energy leads to the rewetting of thesurface which makes it possible to maintain a high dryingrate (3) Finish Drying The falling phase of the drying rate isresponsible for the greatest degradation of the product qualitydue to its length (more than two-thirds of the total dryingtime) By introducing microwaves at the beginning of thisphase internal energy generation allows the bound water tobe pushed towards the product surface which increases thedrying rate and thus reduces the drying time
This combination of microwaves and hot air results in animprovement of the quality of the dried product as well asa reduction of the drying time and energy consumption [6584]
(ii) Microwave-Assisted Freeze Drying (MWFD) Freeze dry-ing provides a good quality of the dried product by preventingthe degradation of the thermosensitive compounds due tothe low temperature used for the sublimation of water Themajor drawback of this technique is the very long dryingtime required Hence it entails a low productivity and a largeconsumption of energy [87]The combination of microwaveswith freeze drying makes it possible to shorten the dryingtime (eg 40 in the case of the drying of protein of duck eggwhite) without modification of the nutritional quality [87]
(iii) Microwave-Assisted Vacuum Drying (MWVD) Likefreeze drying vacuum drying preserves the characteristics ofthe dried product but it also has the same drawbacks namelya long drying time and a strong energy consumption Thusthe combination of microwaves with vacuum drying allows a

better anthocyanin retention and a better antioxidant activityin the case ofMWVDof blueberries [87] In general MWVDmakes it possible to obtain dried products of a quality as goodas those obtained by freeze drying with a colour closer to thefresh product in the case of tomato carrot and banana [88]
(iv) Microwave-Assisted IR Drying (MWIRD) IR radiation ischaracterized by a shallow depth of penetration inside theproduct Therefore once the EM energy is absorbed at thesurface it is transmitted to the interior of the product byconduction which brings IR drying closer to conventionalhot air dryingThe combination of IRwithmicrowaves allowsa faster and more homogeneous heating of the product anda quicker drying of the product with an improved qualityThus in the case ofMWIRD of raspberries a 24 times highercrustiness a 2563 higher rehydration a 1755 additionalretention of anthocyanins and a 2121 higher antioxidantactivity were obtained in relation to IR drying [88]
(v) Ultrasound-Assisted Drying (UAD) Ultrasonication isone of several techniques used in the concept of hybridprocesses It has already been applied to drying amongother processes [89] The mechanical energy provided byultrasound contributes to the reduction of internal and exter-nal resistances to mass transfer and particularly to watertransfer thanks to expansion and compression cycles (spongeeffect) [81] In addition microstreaming is produced at theinterfaces because of high-intensity airborne ultrasoundwhich reduces the diffusion boundary layer This leads todiffusion enhancement and hence to mass transfer increase[81 90] Musielak et al [91] indicate that the first studieson the use of ultrasound in drying were carried out inthe 1950s However even if there is a renewed interest onthis technology in recent years it remains for the momentlimited to laboratory scale [90]
Numerous studies show the interest of combining ultra-sound with a convective drying process to reduce energyconsumption and drying time as well as to improvethe quality of the dried product Szadzinska et al [92]compared a convective drying (CVD) to different hybriddrying processesmdashconvective-ultrasonic drying (CVUD)convective-microwave-ultrasonic drying (CVMWUD) andconvective-microwave drying (CVMWD)mdashin drying ofstrawberry In all cases the hybrid processes made it possibleto obtain lower energy consumption and shorter drying timethan the convective drying The energy consumption gainwas only 64 in CVUD while it reached about 82 inCVMWUD and even 89 in CVMWD Likewise the dryingtime was reduced by 52 and 93 in CVUD and CVMWDrespectively
35 Drying Optimization The combination of several dryingtechniquesmakes it possible to obtain synergistic effects bothon the preservation of the bioactive compounds and on theenergy consumption However it is necessary to optimizethese processes since many factors of the process can have adecisive impact on the quality of the dried product In thepast years the food processes optimization was performedby observing the effect of variation of a single variable at
a time on an experimental response keeping constant allothers This technique has the disadvantage of requiringnumerous tests and it does not take into account the effect ofinteractions between variables on the assessed responses [93]These difficulties can be circumvented using the ResponseSurfaceMethodology (RSM)Thismethod consists in linkingeach studied response of the process to the different inputs(the factors) by means of a quadratic model [93] Thismethod is regularly used for the optimization of dryingprocesses as reported by different authors The goal pursuedin these different studies was to optimize drying conditionsfor preserving certain bioactive compounds such as beta-carotene and lycopene phenolic compounds and antioxidantactivity [94] vitamin C flavonoids and anthocyanins [95]
In fact RSM is a relatively efficient method for theoptimization of drying processes or others Nonetheless ithas some limitations (1) it uses a priori models Indeedwhatever the response studied a quadratic model is postu-lated which is not always adequate (2) The number of teststo be carried out increases very quickly with the numberof factors Thus a three-factor Box Behnken Design (BBD)requires 13 experiments whereas it is necessary to carry out29 experiments for a four-factor BBD (3) the factors mustbe fully independent (4) the uncontrolled factors of the plancannot be taken into account
These difficulties can be overcome using a methodproposed by Lesty [96] based on a new approach theCORICO method (ICOnographic CORrelation) CORICOis a multidimensional data analysis method that also allowsexperimental design analysis Its peculiarity with conven-tional optimization software based on the RSMmethodologyis that it does not use a priori models for the responsesIndeed it proposes a model only after the data analysis of theexperimental design (ED) Hence the shape of the modelswill be different from one response to another CORICOproposes regression models whose regressors are logicalinteractions (AND exclusiveOR IF etc) between the factorsUnlike conventional EDs CORICO accepts that factors arelinked and moreover it may take into account noncontrolledfactors Furthermore it requires very few tests to establish themodels of the ED Thus a CORICO design with five factorsrequires only 13 assays against a minimum of 31 assays for afive-factor Doehlert design
TheCORICOmethod has recently been used successfullyin the agrofood sector for the optimization of microalgaedrying process [97]
4 Dehydrated Foods with Probiotics
Due to the low stability of probiotic strains the food industryis facing a challenge to develop new functional food withprobiotics especially dehydrated food products Drying pro-biotic foods is a challenge as it causes severe loss in viabilityof probiotics
Generally food products are dried in order to increasetheir shelf life at ambient temperature and to reduce the costof frozen storage [58] Hot air drying freeze drying sprayand vacuum drying are the common technologies used fordrying food products Spray drying is the most common

and economical method for drying liquid foods Howeverthis process leads to a loss of viability of probiotic cells dueto the high temperature mechanical shearing dehydrationand osmotic pressure [98] On the other hand freeze dryingmaintains the viability of the probiotic cells but the cost ofthe process is one of the limitation for industrial application[99] Saarela et al [100] studied the stability and functionalityof freeze-dried probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactisE-2010 (Bb-12) cells during storage in juice and milk usingsucrose as cryoprotectant and low-pH to improve stabilityRecently fluidized bed drying and radiant energy undervacuum drying techniques have successfully been applied forimproving the stability of dehydrated probiotics [50 101]Noorbakhsh et al [50] studied the radiant energy undervacuum technology for producing probiotic enriched applesnacks They concluded that this technology a form ofvacuum microwave dehydration is a rapid drying methodresulting in productswith unique characteristicswhile retain-ing biological functions and properties The retention ofbiological activity is enhanced by the low drying temperatureand short drying time In the case of fruits and vegetablesthe gas and liquid in the intercellular spaces (20ndash25 ofthe total volume) can be removed by means of vacuumand replaced by diffusion with compounds of interest suchas microorganisms (bacteria L rhamnosus for example)minerals or other bioactive and nonbioactive compounds[10] This would lead to the development probiotic enricheddried fruits by vacuum impregnation The apple pieces wereair-dried at 40∘C to a water content of 037 kg water kgDMminus1and stored at room temperature for two months [50] Thecontent of L casei viable cells in the dried apple was greaterthan 106 cfu gminus1 which is similar to that in commercial dairyproducts In an attempt to introduce probiotic propertiesto breakfast cereals and similar food products Patel et al[102] confirmed that oat bran contained balanced nutrientsto support a 25-fold L plantarum propagation within arange of moisture content from 50 to 58 after 36 hof cultivation They applied the technique of solid-statefermentation This technique presents not only the potentialof simple downstream processing but also a more naturalgrowth environment for the target bacterium Consequencesof increasedmicrobial growth with lowwater content includeslowdown of the growth of spoilage microorganisms and thegeneration of microbial metabolites which in turn providea range of health benefits (Figure 2) On the other handthe adequacy of raw materials with regard to probioticstechnology (including finding solutions for the stability andviability problems of probiotics in food matrices such asfruits cereals and other vegetables) is certainly the key in theresearch and development area for functional food markets[50]
Some nondairy products with probiotics have been devel-oped in order to surpass the two main drawbacks of theconsumption of dairy products namely lactose intoleranceand the cholesterol content [104] In Table 4 are describedsome of the dehydrated functional plant foods that have beendeveloped Apple is still the preferred base although otherplant products may be used Nevertheless the fruit matrix isan important parameter to take into account because those

more porous fruits seem to facilitate the incorporation ofprobiotics in their tissues during immersion [105] andorduring vacuum impregnation [13] The probiotics testedinclude several bacteria Lactobacillus spp and Bifidobac-terium spp being among the strains most commonly usedBesides being generally considered to be safe for consumerssome Lactobacillus spp show interesting health effects Forexample Betoret et al [106] verified that Lactobacillus sali-varius incorporated in a low moisture apple snack showed apotential effect against H pylori infection
All studies performed until now tried to create a dry fruitmatrix with a high number of viable probiotic cells (gt1 times107 cfu gminus1) as suggested by Betoret et al [106] and Rego etal [107] To achieve this value it is important to (i) have ahigh cell concentration (approx 1010 cfumlminus1) in the initialsuspension in which the product will be immersed (ii) guar-antee a high adherence of the probiotics to the fruit matrixand (iii) assure that after drying the adhered cells still havehigh viability [107] Furthermore it is also important that theimpregnation liquid must present certain physicochemicalcharacteristics namely (i) the pH of the impregnation liquidand the fruitmust be suitable formicroorganismsrsquo growth (ii)the viscosity of the impregnation liquid should also allow fluxinside the pores or intercellular spaces and (iii) the naturalcharacteristics of the impregnated fruit should not be affected[106] Another important point to consider is the methodused to promote cells adherence because it might influencetheir viability By observing Table 4 vacuum impregnationis the most used method for probiotics impregnation intofruit matrices Nevertheless Rego et al [107] verified thatapple cubes that had been subjected to immersion undervacuum presented lower viable numbers of probiotic bacteriathan those cubes subjected to immersion at normal pressureand so no advantage such as the increase of the number ofadhered cells or the stability during drying was observed byusing vacuum Furthermore the vacuum immersed sampleshad worse visual aspect (with more damage) after dryingthan immersed samples at atmospheric pressure [107] Whenpreparing cylindrically shaped apple samples with probioticsBetoret et al [104] also observed that vacuum impregnationseemed to decrease the microbial content by one logarithmic

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

better anthocyanin retention and a better antioxidant activityin the case ofMWVDof blueberries [87] In general MWVDmakes it possible to obtain dried products of a quality as goodas those obtained by freeze drying with a colour closer to thefresh product in the case of tomato carrot and banana [88]
(iv) Microwave-Assisted IR Drying (MWIRD) IR radiation ischaracterized by a shallow depth of penetration inside theproduct Therefore once the EM energy is absorbed at thesurface it is transmitted to the interior of the product byconduction which brings IR drying closer to conventionalhot air dryingThe combination of IRwithmicrowaves allowsa faster and more homogeneous heating of the product anda quicker drying of the product with an improved qualityThus in the case ofMWIRD of raspberries a 24 times highercrustiness a 2563 higher rehydration a 1755 additionalretention of anthocyanins and a 2121 higher antioxidantactivity were obtained in relation to IR drying [88]
(v) Ultrasound-Assisted Drying (UAD) Ultrasonication isone of several techniques used in the concept of hybridprocesses It has already been applied to drying amongother processes [89] The mechanical energy provided byultrasound contributes to the reduction of internal and exter-nal resistances to mass transfer and particularly to watertransfer thanks to expansion and compression cycles (spongeeffect) [81] In addition microstreaming is produced at theinterfaces because of high-intensity airborne ultrasoundwhich reduces the diffusion boundary layer This leads todiffusion enhancement and hence to mass transfer increase[81 90] Musielak et al [91] indicate that the first studieson the use of ultrasound in drying were carried out inthe 1950s However even if there is a renewed interest onthis technology in recent years it remains for the momentlimited to laboratory scale [90]
Numerous studies show the interest of combining ultra-sound with a convective drying process to reduce energyconsumption and drying time as well as to improvethe quality of the dried product Szadzinska et al [92]compared a convective drying (CVD) to different hybriddrying processesmdashconvective-ultrasonic drying (CVUD)convective-microwave-ultrasonic drying (CVMWUD) andconvective-microwave drying (CVMWD)mdashin drying ofstrawberry In all cases the hybrid processes made it possibleto obtain lower energy consumption and shorter drying timethan the convective drying The energy consumption gainwas only 64 in CVUD while it reached about 82 inCVMWUD and even 89 in CVMWD Likewise the dryingtime was reduced by 52 and 93 in CVUD and CVMWDrespectively
35 Drying Optimization The combination of several dryingtechniquesmakes it possible to obtain synergistic effects bothon the preservation of the bioactive compounds and on theenergy consumption However it is necessary to optimizethese processes since many factors of the process can have adecisive impact on the quality of the dried product In thepast years the food processes optimization was performedby observing the effect of variation of a single variable at
a time on an experimental response keeping constant allothers This technique has the disadvantage of requiringnumerous tests and it does not take into account the effect ofinteractions between variables on the assessed responses [93]These difficulties can be circumvented using the ResponseSurfaceMethodology (RSM)Thismethod consists in linkingeach studied response of the process to the different inputs(the factors) by means of a quadratic model [93] Thismethod is regularly used for the optimization of dryingprocesses as reported by different authors The goal pursuedin these different studies was to optimize drying conditionsfor preserving certain bioactive compounds such as beta-carotene and lycopene phenolic compounds and antioxidantactivity [94] vitamin C flavonoids and anthocyanins [95]
In fact RSM is a relatively efficient method for theoptimization of drying processes or others Nonetheless ithas some limitations (1) it uses a priori models Indeedwhatever the response studied a quadratic model is postu-lated which is not always adequate (2) The number of teststo be carried out increases very quickly with the numberof factors Thus a three-factor Box Behnken Design (BBD)requires 13 experiments whereas it is necessary to carry out29 experiments for a four-factor BBD (3) the factors mustbe fully independent (4) the uncontrolled factors of the plancannot be taken into account
These difficulties can be overcome using a methodproposed by Lesty [96] based on a new approach theCORICO method (ICOnographic CORrelation) CORICOis a multidimensional data analysis method that also allowsexperimental design analysis Its peculiarity with conven-tional optimization software based on the RSMmethodologyis that it does not use a priori models for the responsesIndeed it proposes a model only after the data analysis of theexperimental design (ED) Hence the shape of the modelswill be different from one response to another CORICOproposes regression models whose regressors are logicalinteractions (AND exclusiveOR IF etc) between the factorsUnlike conventional EDs CORICO accepts that factors arelinked and moreover it may take into account noncontrolledfactors Furthermore it requires very few tests to establish themodels of the ED Thus a CORICO design with five factorsrequires only 13 assays against a minimum of 31 assays for afive-factor Doehlert design
TheCORICOmethod has recently been used successfullyin the agrofood sector for the optimization of microalgaedrying process [97]
4 Dehydrated Foods with Probiotics
Due to the low stability of probiotic strains the food industryis facing a challenge to develop new functional food withprobiotics especially dehydrated food products Drying pro-biotic foods is a challenge as it causes severe loss in viabilityof probiotics
Generally food products are dried in order to increasetheir shelf life at ambient temperature and to reduce the costof frozen storage [58] Hot air drying freeze drying sprayand vacuum drying are the common technologies used fordrying food products Spray drying is the most common

and economical method for drying liquid foods Howeverthis process leads to a loss of viability of probiotic cells dueto the high temperature mechanical shearing dehydrationand osmotic pressure [98] On the other hand freeze dryingmaintains the viability of the probiotic cells but the cost ofthe process is one of the limitation for industrial application[99] Saarela et al [100] studied the stability and functionalityof freeze-dried probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactisE-2010 (Bb-12) cells during storage in juice and milk usingsucrose as cryoprotectant and low-pH to improve stabilityRecently fluidized bed drying and radiant energy undervacuum drying techniques have successfully been applied forimproving the stability of dehydrated probiotics [50 101]Noorbakhsh et al [50] studied the radiant energy undervacuum technology for producing probiotic enriched applesnacks They concluded that this technology a form ofvacuum microwave dehydration is a rapid drying methodresulting in productswith unique characteristicswhile retain-ing biological functions and properties The retention ofbiological activity is enhanced by the low drying temperatureand short drying time In the case of fruits and vegetablesthe gas and liquid in the intercellular spaces (20ndash25 ofthe total volume) can be removed by means of vacuumand replaced by diffusion with compounds of interest suchas microorganisms (bacteria L rhamnosus for example)minerals or other bioactive and nonbioactive compounds[10] This would lead to the development probiotic enricheddried fruits by vacuum impregnation The apple pieces wereair-dried at 40∘C to a water content of 037 kg water kgDMminus1and stored at room temperature for two months [50] Thecontent of L casei viable cells in the dried apple was greaterthan 106 cfu gminus1 which is similar to that in commercial dairyproducts In an attempt to introduce probiotic propertiesto breakfast cereals and similar food products Patel et al[102] confirmed that oat bran contained balanced nutrientsto support a 25-fold L plantarum propagation within arange of moisture content from 50 to 58 after 36 hof cultivation They applied the technique of solid-statefermentation This technique presents not only the potentialof simple downstream processing but also a more naturalgrowth environment for the target bacterium Consequencesof increasedmicrobial growth with lowwater content includeslowdown of the growth of spoilage microorganisms and thegeneration of microbial metabolites which in turn providea range of health benefits (Figure 2) On the other handthe adequacy of raw materials with regard to probioticstechnology (including finding solutions for the stability andviability problems of probiotics in food matrices such asfruits cereals and other vegetables) is certainly the key in theresearch and development area for functional food markets[50]
Some nondairy products with probiotics have been devel-oped in order to surpass the two main drawbacks of theconsumption of dairy products namely lactose intoleranceand the cholesterol content [104] In Table 4 are describedsome of the dehydrated functional plant foods that have beendeveloped Apple is still the preferred base although otherplant products may be used Nevertheless the fruit matrix isan important parameter to take into account because those

more porous fruits seem to facilitate the incorporation ofprobiotics in their tissues during immersion [105] andorduring vacuum impregnation [13] The probiotics testedinclude several bacteria Lactobacillus spp and Bifidobac-terium spp being among the strains most commonly usedBesides being generally considered to be safe for consumerssome Lactobacillus spp show interesting health effects Forexample Betoret et al [106] verified that Lactobacillus sali-varius incorporated in a low moisture apple snack showed apotential effect against H pylori infection
All studies performed until now tried to create a dry fruitmatrix with a high number of viable probiotic cells (gt1 times107 cfu gminus1) as suggested by Betoret et al [106] and Rego etal [107] To achieve this value it is important to (i) have ahigh cell concentration (approx 1010 cfumlminus1) in the initialsuspension in which the product will be immersed (ii) guar-antee a high adherence of the probiotics to the fruit matrixand (iii) assure that after drying the adhered cells still havehigh viability [107] Furthermore it is also important that theimpregnation liquid must present certain physicochemicalcharacteristics namely (i) the pH of the impregnation liquidand the fruitmust be suitable formicroorganismsrsquo growth (ii)the viscosity of the impregnation liquid should also allow fluxinside the pores or intercellular spaces and (iii) the naturalcharacteristics of the impregnated fruit should not be affected[106] Another important point to consider is the methodused to promote cells adherence because it might influencetheir viability By observing Table 4 vacuum impregnationis the most used method for probiotics impregnation intofruit matrices Nevertheless Rego et al [107] verified thatapple cubes that had been subjected to immersion undervacuum presented lower viable numbers of probiotic bacteriathan those cubes subjected to immersion at normal pressureand so no advantage such as the increase of the number ofadhered cells or the stability during drying was observed byusing vacuum Furthermore the vacuum immersed sampleshad worse visual aspect (with more damage) after dryingthan immersed samples at atmospheric pressure [107] Whenpreparing cylindrically shaped apple samples with probioticsBetoret et al [104] also observed that vacuum impregnationseemed to decrease the microbial content by one logarithmic

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage

Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

and economical method for drying liquid foods Howeverthis process leads to a loss of viability of probiotic cells dueto the high temperature mechanical shearing dehydrationand osmotic pressure [98] On the other hand freeze dryingmaintains the viability of the probiotic cells but the cost ofthe process is one of the limitation for industrial application[99] Saarela et al [100] studied the stability and functionalityof freeze-dried probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactisE-2010 (Bb-12) cells during storage in juice and milk usingsucrose as cryoprotectant and low-pH to improve stabilityRecently fluidized bed drying and radiant energy undervacuum drying techniques have successfully been applied forimproving the stability of dehydrated probiotics [50 101]Noorbakhsh et al [50] studied the radiant energy undervacuum technology for producing probiotic enriched applesnacks They concluded that this technology a form ofvacuum microwave dehydration is a rapid drying methodresulting in productswith unique characteristicswhile retain-ing biological functions and properties The retention ofbiological activity is enhanced by the low drying temperatureand short drying time In the case of fruits and vegetablesthe gas and liquid in the intercellular spaces (20ndash25 ofthe total volume) can be removed by means of vacuumand replaced by diffusion with compounds of interest suchas microorganisms (bacteria L rhamnosus for example)minerals or other bioactive and nonbioactive compounds[10] This would lead to the development probiotic enricheddried fruits by vacuum impregnation The apple pieces wereair-dried at 40∘C to a water content of 037 kg water kgDMminus1and stored at room temperature for two months [50] Thecontent of L casei viable cells in the dried apple was greaterthan 106 cfu gminus1 which is similar to that in commercial dairyproducts In an attempt to introduce probiotic propertiesto breakfast cereals and similar food products Patel et al[102] confirmed that oat bran contained balanced nutrientsto support a 25-fold L plantarum propagation within arange of moisture content from 50 to 58 after 36 hof cultivation They applied the technique of solid-statefermentation This technique presents not only the potentialof simple downstream processing but also a more naturalgrowth environment for the target bacterium Consequencesof increasedmicrobial growth with lowwater content includeslowdown of the growth of spoilage microorganisms and thegeneration of microbial metabolites which in turn providea range of health benefits (Figure 2) On the other handthe adequacy of raw materials with regard to probioticstechnology (including finding solutions for the stability andviability problems of probiotics in food matrices such asfruits cereals and other vegetables) is certainly the key in theresearch and development area for functional food markets[50]
Some nondairy products with probiotics have been devel-oped in order to surpass the two main drawbacks of theconsumption of dairy products namely lactose intoleranceand the cholesterol content [104] In Table 4 are describedsome of the dehydrated functional plant foods that have beendeveloped Apple is still the preferred base although otherplant products may be used Nevertheless the fruit matrix isan important parameter to take into account because those

more porous fruits seem to facilitate the incorporation ofprobiotics in their tissues during immersion [105] andorduring vacuum impregnation [13] The probiotics testedinclude several bacteria Lactobacillus spp and Bifidobac-terium spp being among the strains most commonly usedBesides being generally considered to be safe for consumerssome Lactobacillus spp show interesting health effects Forexample Betoret et al [106] verified that Lactobacillus sali-varius incorporated in a low moisture apple snack showed apotential effect against H pylori infection
All studies performed until now tried to create a dry fruitmatrix with a high number of viable probiotic cells (gt1 times107 cfu gminus1) as suggested by Betoret et al [106] and Rego etal [107] To achieve this value it is important to (i) have ahigh cell concentration (approx 1010 cfumlminus1) in the initialsuspension in which the product will be immersed (ii) guar-antee a high adherence of the probiotics to the fruit matrixand (iii) assure that after drying the adhered cells still havehigh viability [107] Furthermore it is also important that theimpregnation liquid must present certain physicochemicalcharacteristics namely (i) the pH of the impregnation liquidand the fruitmust be suitable formicroorganismsrsquo growth (ii)the viscosity of the impregnation liquid should also allow fluxinside the pores or intercellular spaces and (iii) the naturalcharacteristics of the impregnated fruit should not be affected[106] Another important point to consider is the methodused to promote cells adherence because it might influencetheir viability By observing Table 4 vacuum impregnationis the most used method for probiotics impregnation intofruit matrices Nevertheless Rego et al [107] verified thatapple cubes that had been subjected to immersion undervacuum presented lower viable numbers of probiotic bacteriathan those cubes subjected to immersion at normal pressureand so no advantage such as the increase of the number ofadhered cells or the stability during drying was observed byusing vacuum Furthermore the vacuum immersed sampleshad worse visual aspect (with more damage) after dryingthan immersed samples at atmospheric pressure [107] Whenpreparing cylindrically shaped apple samples with probioticsBetoret et al [104] also observed that vacuum impregnationseemed to decrease the microbial content by one logarithmic

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

(time temperature atmosphere composition and others)Experimental studies have been conducted to reduce suchlosses by using pretreatments selection of adequate dryingmethods use of novel methods of drying and optimizationof drying conditions In the literature the methods reportedfor drying of food materials vary from solar techniques torecently developed microwave and heat pump drying [163ndash165] An overview of phytochemical losses prior to or duringdrying is provided in Table 7 From this table it becomesapparent that inert gas drying spray drying and freeze
drying produce negligiblelow losses of phytochemicals andvitamins namely carotene and vitamin C while microwavedrying results in high losses of carotenoids

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

cycle Additionally some works have used osmotic dehy-dration and pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration as impreg-nation methods [108] and it was observed that vacuumrsquosapplication promotes the mass transfer in short-time periodprocesses [108] However the effect of vacuum on probioticcell entrapment was variable and depended on the soluteconcentration and time
In order to protect the probiotic cells fruit juice milkor trehalose may be used [107 111] making the cells moreresistant to drying and in the human gastrointestinal tractNevertheless Betoret et al [104] verified that yeast growth(namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was not influenced bythe culture media while the growth of Lactobacillus straindecreased when milk or commercial apple juice were usedFurthermore Leone et al [111] verified that trehalose did nothave a protective effect on L casei (LC-01) when incorporatedin dried yacon flakes
In order to dehydrate foods with probiotics the mostcommonly used equipment are pilot scale air dryers or traydryers In several situations air drying of the impregnatedsamples resulted in a reduction of the microbial contentalthough the level of cells was enough to be consideredas probiotic as stated by Betoret et al [106] and Ribeiro[105] When Noorbakhsh et al [50] applied air drying freezedrying and air drying + radiant energy under vacuum (REV)to apple slices impregnated with L rhamnosus they verifiedthat freeze drying protected bacteria better than the other twomethods
Concerning storage temperature and time are importantfactors to be considered For example the bestway to preserveprobiotic cell viability in dried apple cubes or slices was at4∘C [46 107] Nevertheless Betoret et al [104] also observedthat cylindrically shaped dried apple samples with probioticsstored at 20∘C for 15 days kept an adequate microbial loadto achieve the desired probiotic effect Storage time mayalso play an important role because it may be prejudicialfor the survival of probiotics in proportion to its length asreported by Leone et al [111] The drying method may alsoaffect probiotics survival during storage Noorbakhsh et al[50] observed a higher survival of L rhamnosus in appleslices subjected to air drying + radiant energy vacuum dryingwhen stored at 25∘C than air drying and freeze drying Theyexplained this result based on the different structures thatmay be obtained as well as possible changes in the glassy stateof the dried apple slices In fact an amorphous glassy state isimportant for the stability of bacteria during storage of driedcells [112]
Probiotic fruit powders have also been developed aspresented in Table 5These powders have longer shelf life andlower transportation cost and may produce an easy-handlingform that reconstitutes rapidly to a product resembling theoriginal juice [113] These powders have been obtained byspray drying freeze drying and spouted bed drying of fruitjuices Fruit juices atomization is not an easy process becausethe powders obtained have tendency to form agglomeratesand become sticky [114] leading to lower product yield andsevere operatingmaintenance problemsThus it is importantto adjust the drying temperature outlet air temperaturefeed flow rate air drying speed atomization pressure and
the use of drying agents to ensure the physicochemicalquality of the powder product [115] Barbosa and Teixeira[47] discuss the current knowledge on the different spraydrying parameters to obtain high-quality powders Spraydrying is commonly used as microencapsulation methodhowever the high temperatures applied might cause injuriesto microbial cells Good results have been obtained withfreeze drying as stated by Vikram Simha et al [113] andBarbosa et al [116] when producing probiotic pomegranateand orange powders respectively Spouted bed drying hasalso been used in some works because lower temperaturesare applied [117] when compared to spray drying Alveset al [117] observed that spouted bed orange juice driedsamples presented higher viable microbial cell counts thanthe spray-dried ones however the last ones showed lowervalues of moisture content and water activity Both samplesspray-dried and spouted bed dried presented acceptableglass transition temperatures (Tg) which can assure powderquality when stored at temperatures below 30∘C [117] Theencapsulating material is also very important The commonstrategy to spray-dry sticky products is to use wall materialswith high molecular weight [118] such as maltodextrinArabic gum starch and gum acacia Anekella and Orsat[119] verified that increasing themicroencapsulatingmaterialconcentration increased the survival rate of probiotics Fur-thermore using suitable wall materials such as maltodextrincan reduce the stickiness to the walls of the spray dryer andincrease the free-flowing nature of the powder [119] Nev-ertheless Chaikham et al [120] when preparing dehydratedmaoluang juices with probiotics verified that the treatmentswith maltodextrin alone showed higher cell loss than themixtures of maltodextrin with Tiliacora triandra gum andorwith inulin showing these protective effects Kingwatee etal [121] and Pereira et al [122] also stated that the additionof inulin with other carriers and gum Arabic combinedwith maltodextrin would enhance cells survival respectivelyFurthermore powders produced with gum Arabic presenteda higher rehydration time (approx 9 times) than thoseobtained with maltodextrin probably due to its higher sol-ubility in water [122] This is an important property becausethe powders with higher rehydration capacity will be easilyreconstituted by the consumers [117] Another importantpoint to raise is that Anekella and Orsat [119] also refer thatexposing the probiotics to a sublethal thermal shock beforespray drying might increase the subsequent tolerance to nearlethal thermal stresses These authors stated that spray-driedraspberry juices with probiotic cells subjected to a heat shocktreatment had higher viability than nonheat shock treatedcells
Concerning storage temperature and powderrsquos character-istics are important factors Barbosa et al [118] and Pereiraet al [122] when producing orange and cashew apple juicepowders respectively with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) verifiedthat the powders stored at 4∘C presented higher survival ratesthan at room temperature Furthermore the highest level ofprobiotic bacteria was observed for the orange juice powdersproduced at the lowest feed flow rate (02 L hminus1) probablydue to their low water contents [117] However these resultswere different to Mestry et al [126] who when preparing

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

drying produce negligiblelow losses of phytochemicals andvitamins namely carotene and vitamin C while microwavedrying results in high losses of carotenoids

production Antioxidants in dried cranberries grapes andplums showed to be twice as potent as those in the fresh fruits[130]
Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

drying produce negligiblelow losses of phytochemicals andvitamins namely carotene and vitamin C while microwavedrying results in high losses of carotenoids
However the drying process may lead to an elevatedantioxidant activity (AA) VitaminC Vitamin E carotenoidspolyphenols melanoids and indoles are some bioactive com-pounds that present AA [181] In fact during drying phenoliccompounds may be generated as Maillard reactions products[131] The net antioxidant activity reflects the cumulativeeffects of the total phenolics losses and Maillard reaction

production Antioxidants in dried cranberries grapes andplums showed to be twice as potent as those in the fresh fruits[130]
Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

(time temperature atmosphere composition and others)Experimental studies have been conducted to reduce suchlosses by using pretreatments selection of adequate dryingmethods use of novel methods of drying and optimizationof drying conditions In the literature the methods reportedfor drying of food materials vary from solar techniques torecently developed microwave and heat pump drying [163ndash165] An overview of phytochemical losses prior to or duringdrying is provided in Table 7 From this table it becomesapparent that inert gas drying spray drying and freeze
drying produce negligiblelow losses of phytochemicals andvitamins namely carotene and vitamin C while microwavedrying results in high losses of carotenoids

production Antioxidants in dried cranberries grapes andplums showed to be twice as potent as those in the fresh fruits[130]
Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

(time temperature atmosphere composition and others)Experimental studies have been conducted to reduce suchlosses by using pretreatments selection of adequate dryingmethods use of novel methods of drying and optimizationof drying conditions In the literature the methods reportedfor drying of food materials vary from solar techniques torecently developed microwave and heat pump drying [163ndash165] An overview of phytochemical losses prior to or duringdrying is provided in Table 7 From this table it becomesapparent that inert gas drying spray drying and freeze
drying produce negligiblelow losses of phytochemicals andvitamins namely carotene and vitamin C while microwavedrying results in high losses of carotenoids

production Antioxidants in dried cranberries grapes andplums showed to be twice as potent as those in the fresh fruits[130]
Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

(time temperature atmosphere composition and others)Experimental studies have been conducted to reduce suchlosses by using pretreatments selection of adequate dryingmethods use of novel methods of drying and optimizationof drying conditions In the literature the methods reportedfor drying of food materials vary from solar techniques torecently developed microwave and heat pump drying [163ndash165] An overview of phytochemical losses prior to or duringdrying is provided in Table 7 From this table it becomesapparent that inert gas drying spray drying and freeze
drying produce negligiblelow losses of phytochemicals andvitamins namely carotene and vitamin C while microwavedrying results in high losses of carotenoids

production Antioxidants in dried cranberries grapes andplums showed to be twice as potent as those in the fresh fruits[130]
Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

5 Health Benefits of FunctionalDehydrated Foods
From the point of view of consumersrsquo health dried foodsare a good source of nutrients minerals (ie magne-sium potassium calcium andor phosphorus) and vitamins(ie vitamin E niacin choline andor folic acid) andespecially bioactive compounds In addition plant derivedfoods contain fibre phytochemicals (phenolic compoundscarotenoids andor phytosterols) [127] (Table 6) In generalphytochemicals from this type of food are well absorbedand their bioavailability is high For example polyphenolsand tocopherols from nuts and dried fruits have proved tobe rapidly accessible in the stomach thus maximizing thepossibility of absorption in the upper small intestine [128129] Antioxidants from dried fig can increase the plasmaantioxidant capacity and protect lipoproteins from subse-quent oxidation therefore demonstrating the bioavailabilityof antioxidants in dried fruits [130]
Dried fruits constitute a healthy snack as an alternativeto salty or sweet ones and food ingredients to other foodsdue to their taste and nutritionalhealth benefits [142] Infact they provide concentrated compounds such as theones mentioned above since a considerably large quantityof water is removed from the fresh commodity throughseveral different drying technologies They also combinethis healthy issue with a unique taste and aroma veryattractive to consumers In fact the natural sugars in fruits(glucose fructose) are concentrated as well the dried fruitbecoming sweeter that the fresh equivalent This type of foodproduct is in the current dietary recommendations of variouscountries Scientific evidence (epidemiological and in vitroand in vivo studies) suggests that individuals who regularly
consume great amounts of dried fruits suffer lower incidenceof cardiovascular diseases obesity various types of cancertype 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunction and otherchronic diseases [143ndash150]
Most chronic diseases involve inflammatory processesAdditionally free radicals induce oxidative stress which leadsto DNA damage and other genetic alterations that may causecancer if left unrepaired [151 152] As disease prevention isthe key to mitigating the damage caused by these disordersthe consumption of phytochemicals from fruits vegetableswhole grains and algae in foods may decrease the risk ofCVD and stroke [153ndash158]
Selected dried fruits rich in specific compounds suchas amla fruits or Indian gooseberries avocados berriesmangoes mangosteens persimmons prunes raisins andkiwi fruits may also present cancer chemopreventive effects[159]
Processing to produce dried fruits significantly decreasesthe content (on a dry weight basis) of bioactive compoundssuch as vitamins and phenolic compounds Pretreatmentsbefore dryingmay also influence the loss of these compoundsduring drying For example depending on the product somevegetables that are adequately blanched before drying maypresent less than 5 decrease in the carotenoids contentwhile if they are processed without enzyme inactivation thisreduction is increased to 80 [160] Dipping in sulphiteand other solutions has also shown to reduce the loss ofvitamins during drying Lin et al [161] reported that losses ofvitamin C and carotene were higher during air drying thanwith vacuum freeze drying This may be explained by thefact that the main losses in vitamins and other substancesoccur due to water solubility heat sensitivity and enzymaticoxidation during processing [162] which are absent duringvacuum freeze drying Most vitamins such as A C andthiamine are heat sensitive some (A and C) are also sensitiveto oxidative degradation Sulphuring can destroy thiamineand riboflavin is light sensitive Consequently the losses ofbioactive compounds also depend on the drying operations

production Antioxidants in dried cranberries grapes andplums showed to be twice as potent as those in the fresh fruits[130]
Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

production Antioxidants in dried cranberries grapes andplums showed to be twice as potent as those in the fresh fruits[130]
Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself

production Antioxidants in dried cranberries grapes andplums showed to be twice as potent as those in the fresh fruits[130]
Storage of dried food products may bring more severelosses of nutrients and bioactive compounds than during thedrying process itself [163 182ndash184] For example Kaminskiet al [185] observed a rapid degradation of carotenoids infreeze-dried carrots during storage
6 Conclusions
Due to the importance of functional foods for a healthylifestyle scientific research has extensively been developedin this domain during the last decade namely focusing onprebiotics probiotics and bioactive compounds in generalThe number of published research on this type of foods hasduplicated in the last 5 years reaching almost 4000
Drying is a unit operation of stabilization and conser-vation of the bioproducts much used However it entailsmany modifications and alterations of the dried productThe drying processes having the least adverse effects on thequality of the product and the bioactive compounds arethose operating at low temperature (freeze drying vacuumdrying) or with very short durations (spray drying drumdrying) Freeze drying is the technique of drying allowingthe greatest preservation of the antioxidant properties of thephytochemicals and the viability of the probiotics Howeverit presents high operating cost and low productivity Spraydrying is a good alternative for industrial development Newdrying techniques based mostly on electromagnetic energy(dielectric drying MW IR UV etc) show encouragingresults in terms of preservation of bioactive compoundsNevertheless all these processes need to be optimizedThe RSM is an increasingly used optimization method butnew approaches such as the CORICO method bring newpossibilities
This review also reports the most recent findings ondehydrated plant products with probiotics and the studiesthat have been made highlighting the microorganisms usedthe impregnation procedures dryingmethods and evaluatedparameters Apple is still the preferred matrix however theuse of other plant products may be noticed Furthermore theproduction processes of fruit powders with probiotics werediscussed focusing the drying processes and carriers used
Dried fruits and vegetables fruits and vegetable by-products grains nuts and algae are rich in bioactivecompounds whose properties are responsible for a lowerincidence of cardiovascular diseases obesity various typesof cancer type 2 diabetes inflammation brain dysfunctionand other chronic diseases This review presents these healthbenefits
The losses of bioactive compounds such as phytochem-icals and vitamins during drying depend on the dryingmethod and drying conditions but also on the pretreatmenteventually used These losses may be considerable but thedrying process may lead to an increase in the antioxidantactivity Storage may bring higher losses in important bioac-tive compounds than the drying process itself
