A Comparative Study of Cast-Tape, Freeze, and Oven Drying on the Physicochemical and Bioactive Properties of Red Cabbage Microgreen (Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra) Foam Powders. [PDF]

J Food Sci
ABSTRACT The aim was to produce red cabbage microgreen foams and dry them by cast‐tape drying (CTD), freeze‐drying (FD), and oven drying (OD) to obtain powder and characterize them. The foam composition was water (74.7%), microgreens (14.2%), emulsifier (6.5%), pre‐gelatinized starch (2.8%), and maltodextrin (1.8%).
