摘要

While raw pistachios are shipped and stored, their quality deteriorates as they absorb moisture from their surroundings. At high moisture contents (MC), they lose the consumer-favored crunchy texture and develop mold. However, maintaining them at low MC may be more costly. Therefore, information regarding the MC and texture of pistachios at various conditions is valuable in maximizing quality of pistachios and minimizing costs during storage and shipping.;In this study, adsorption isotherms and moisture uptake kinetics of raw Kerman pistachios were obtained using the gravimetric method while texture was quantified using a TA.XT2 texture analyzer and a 1-mm penetration probe. Adsorption isotherms of kernels obtained experimentally at five temperatures—7, 25, 35, 45, and 50°C—and at least seven relative humidity (RH) levels ranging 11 to 82% followed the Type II sigmoid shape with monolayer moisture value of 0.02 g water /g dry solid. Effective diffusion coefficients (D eff) of water in raw pistachios obtained by fitting Fick's second law for RH>43% ranged from 0.056 to 1.5 x 10-6 cm 2/s. From the texture analysis, the hardness and stiffness of raw kernels followed Fermi's empirical equations where plasticization was observed near water activity (aw) of 0.45-0.65. Combining all the analysis, a computational model was developed to reasonably predict the MC, aw , and texture of raw pistachio kernels during different storage conditions given the temperature, RH, storage time, and initial MC of raw pistachio kernels. Compared to experimental values, most (or about 90%) of the theoretical values of the quality parameters calculated from the prediction model deviated by less than 15% while the remaining few deviated by less than 39%. Thus, this computational program may be used by pistachio processors and handlers to aid in the optimization of packaging designs and storage conditions for pistachios.
