1 Introduction
Sunower (Helianthus annuus L) an annual plant is grownin temperate and subtropical climate [1] e sunowerseeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids proteins ber andvitamins (such as B1 B5 and B6) phosphorus coppermanganese folate iron zinc amino acids and low-carbohydrate diets ey are consumed as snack productseither alone or in the blends of dierent nuts and othercomponents [2]
Roasting is the key process in the production of value-added nuts having better taste aroma and a crunchy textureand exhibit enhanced crispiness One of the commontreatment methods is dry roasting In this process the nutsare heated applying the conventional thermal treatmentsuch as air convection and pan or sand roasting at 250ndash300degC for a short time [3ndash6] In dry roasting some novel
thermal treatments could be used applying irradiation ofmicrowave infrared (IR) and radiofrequency [7] In theconventional heating method the outer surface of the seedscan be overroasted whereas the core of them is not com-pletely processed is causes uneven roasting burnt sur-face and development of the undesirable aroma and avorRoasting of grains and legumes leads to the gelatinization ofstarch and denaturation of proteins too [8] On microwaveroasting the temperature on lower surface of the food ratherthan its inner parts causes over- or underroasted food [9]
IR heating has many advantages over the conventionalmethod such as (1) production of the high-quality food dueto consistent and uniform distribution of IR energy (2) highenergy ebrvbarciency as a result of direct radiation transferringfrom IR emitters to the surface of product without requiringany heating medium (3) short process time (4) precisecontrolling the IR heating process (5) compact design and

difference in types of IR emitters and (6) environment-friendly energy [10]
Although IR heating is a new promising approach it islimited because of its low penetrating power Combinationof two convection (hot air (HA)) and radiation heat transfermechanisms is important to increase the thermal efficiencyof dryers [11 12]
IR heating was applied lonely or in combination with hotair in roasting of several products like almonds [13] pis-tachios coffee [14] tea [15 16] peanuts [17] pecans [18]hazelnuts [7 19] cereal grains [20] and sesame seeds[21 22] ere are only a few reports on the roasting sun-flower kernels Most of the previous studies on roastedsunflower kernels investigated the influence of variousfactors such as change of molecular species of tri-acylglycerols during microwave roasting [23] color texturefirmness moisture percentage of extracted oil acidityperoxide sensory properties and fatty acid compositionsunflower kernels were roasted under two different condi-tions ie by microwave and electrical oven [24]
e aim of this study was to investigate the effect ofpower temperature and time of combined IR-HA roastingmethod on some physicochemical properties of the sun-flower kernels e proper conditions for IR-HA roastingwere also determined using response surface method (RSM)
2 Materials and Methods
21 Sample Preparation Sunflower seeds (Slatki variety)were obtained from the agricultural farm (KhanBebin inGolestan Province) e seeds were manually cleaned anddeshelled e percent of kernel recovery was 393 eseeds were sorted to obtain the uniform size and defect-freeones en they were kept at 4degC until using in experimentsBefore roasting process sunflower kernels were soaked in25 (ww) salt solution for 30minen the excess water ofsieved seeds was removed using cloth
22 Experimental Design e results were analyzed usingRSM based on the performed pretests the independentvariables were IR power (A) (400ndash600W) temperature ofHA (B) (120ndash160degC) having constant velocity (1ms) androasting time (C) (4ndash10min) e roasted samples wereanalyzed according to a central composite design (CCD)e experimental design consisted of 20 treatments in-cluding 6 center points and 14 noncenter points as shown inTable 1
23 Combined IR-HA Roasting Process Roasting was per-formed in a combined IR-HA roaster equipped witha controller to adjust the air temperature and IR power ofroasting e apparatus consisted of heating elements (4electrical elements with power 750watts) scale pitot unita centrifugal fan infrared radiator (Far infrared lamp1500W) and a roasting chamber (Figure 1) A single layer ofthe seeds was spread on aluminum trays Finally the pro-cessed kernels were kept at room temperature to cool (25plusmn2degC) Until performing the experiments the samples were
kept in polyethylene Zip-pack bag at room temperature(25degC)

Heat consumption of dried barley was compared underfar infrared (FIR)ndashconvection and convection alone It wasreported that the use of FIR radiation enhances the dryingrate and the energy consumption was reduced considerably[31] In another research it evaluated the energy con-sumption during IR-HA roasting of peanut kernels andreduced the energy consumption up to 31 in the HAmethod [17] Also it was observed that in drying mushroomand pomegranate using the combination of HA and IRdecreased energy consumption relative to IR drying aloneand increased it relative to HA drying [32 33] e use of IRmethod in drying persimmon sheet drying time at threelevels of 50 60 and 70 degrees respectively decreased by4639 3066 and 2238 [34]
32 Color Measurement Visual color is an important qualitycriterion for roasted foods and may be assessed in terms ofquantitative parameters such as Llowast alowast blowast color differences(ΔElowast) hue angle (hdeg) and saturation or chroma (SI) valuesColor also is an important quality indicator in the case of roastedfoods and optimized color parameters may be used as qualitycontrol indicators during the roasting processes [25 26]
Figures 3(a) and 3(b) show the degree of lightness change(Llowast) during roasting of sunflower kernels e result showedthat the highest value for Llowast was observed in raw kernels(6655) (Table 2) and power temperature and time ofthermal processing had significant effect (plt 005) on Llowastbut temperature and time had no interaction effect on it(pgt 005) A quadratic model (R2 09733) was appliedbetween different parameters as

and BI roasted peanut kernels by HA [29] but Sharma andGujral [8] reported a decrease in ΔE during roasting ofbarley
Also it was reported that increases in roasting tem-perature (90ndash190degC) and time (5ndash65min) caused a decreasein Llowast blowast and yellow index except for alowast value of groundstate-roasted pistachio kernels with HA e quadraticmodel sufficiently described the changes in color [35] eseresults are in agreement with those found by Soleimaniehet al [24] for oven and microwave-roasted sunflower seedWani et al [36] for pan and microwave roasting arrowheadtubers Gujral et al [37] for sand and microwave roasting ofoats Uysal et al [19] for roasted hazelnut by usingmicrowave-infrared combination
e values of Llowast and hdeg color parameters coffee roastedusing HA were evaluated With increasing temperature Llowast
value and hdeg decreased A second-order correlation wasfound between Llowast and roasting time [38] Change in color isdue to formation of brown pigments with low and highmolecular weight through nonenzymatic browning (NEB)reactions such as Millard reaction and caramelization andphospholipids degradation during roasting [26 36 39 40]
33 Texture Analysis Texture is one of the most importantcriteria in consumer acceptance of roasted sunflower ker-nels In general the roasting process is responsible for thecrunchy texture of nuts resulting from structural andchemical changes such as the Millard reaction decrease inmoisture content or lipid modifications reaction [41] eresults of hardness of kernels during roasting process wereshown in Figure 11 Regression analysis indicated that two-factor interaction (2FI) model (R2 07256) was the best toexplain the effects of the three independent parameters ontexture as following

that a decrease in pH of peanut kernels during roasting dueto Millard reaction products and conversion of sugars toacidic compounds during roastinge effect of pH has beenevaluated in model studies finding a close relationship withthe formation of volatile compounds low pH (le5) favors theformation of pyrazines and higher pH favors the methylpyrazines and Strecker aldehydes [43]

ere are few works in the literature reporting data onthe TPC of IR-roasted sunflower kernelse TPC in roastedhazelnuts using IR and HA at two differenttimetemperature conditions ranged from 048 to069mgmiddotGAEg e TPC increased during roasting com-pared with fresh samples (042plusmn 001) e TPC in roastedsamples by using HA was greater than the TPC roastedsamples by using IR probably because IR caused a higherheating in the hazelnut than HA and higher degradation ofphenolic compounds [7]
Lin et al [44] reported that the levels of total phenolssubstantially decreased in the initial roasting phase (5min)

Other authors have observed the same behavior in otherproducts [17 25 45] e reason for increasing the TPCupon roasting could be because of increasing in heat inducedand extractable phenolic compounds after roasting to theformation of Millard products complex physical andchemical reactions on phenolic including leaching of watersoluble phenolic freeing phenolic from bond forms deg-radation of polyphenols and breakdown and trans-formation of phenolic such as formation of complex
products from phenolic and proteins and formation ofMillard reaction products having antioxidative activity suchas pyrroles and furans that react with FolinndashCiocalteu re-agent [46 47] Lin et al [44] indicated that Millard reactionproducts produced during thermal treatments may increasethe antioxidant effects of processed foods

difference in types of IR emitters and (6) environment-friendly energy [10]
Although IR heating is a new promising approach it islimited because of its low penetrating power Combinationof two convection (hot air (HA)) and radiation heat transfermechanisms is important to increase the thermal efficiencyof dryers [11 12]
IR heating was applied lonely or in combination with hotair in roasting of several products like almonds [13] pis-tachios coffee [14] tea [15 16] peanuts [17] pecans [18]hazelnuts [7 19] cereal grains [20] and sesame seeds[21 22] ere are only a few reports on the roasting sun-flower kernels Most of the previous studies on roastedsunflower kernels investigated the influence of variousfactors such as change of molecular species of tri-acylglycerols during microwave roasting [23] color texturefirmness moisture percentage of extracted oil acidityperoxide sensory properties and fatty acid compositionsunflower kernels were roasted under two different condi-tions ie by microwave and electrical oven [24]
e aim of this study was to investigate the effect ofpower temperature and time of combined IR-HA roastingmethod on some physicochemical properties of the sun-flower kernels e proper conditions for IR-HA roastingwere also determined using response surface method (RSM)
2 Materials and Methods
21 Sample Preparation Sunflower seeds (Slatki variety)were obtained from the agricultural farm (KhanBebin inGolestan Province) e seeds were manually cleaned anddeshelled e percent of kernel recovery was 393 eseeds were sorted to obtain the uniform size and defect-freeones en they were kept at 4degC until using in experimentsBefore roasting process sunflower kernels were soaked in25 (ww) salt solution for 30minen the excess water ofsieved seeds was removed using cloth
22 Experimental Design e results were analyzed usingRSM based on the performed pretests the independentvariables were IR power (A) (400ndash600W) temperature ofHA (B) (120ndash160degC) having constant velocity (1ms) androasting time (C) (4ndash10min) e roasted samples wereanalyzed according to a central composite design (CCD)e experimental design consisted of 20 treatments in-cluding 6 center points and 14 noncenter points as shown inTable 1
23 Combined IR-HA Roasting Process Roasting was per-formed in a combined IR-HA roaster equipped witha controller to adjust the air temperature and IR power ofroasting e apparatus consisted of heating elements (4electrical elements with power 750watts) scale pitot unita centrifugal fan infrared radiator (Far infrared lamp1500W) and a roasting chamber (Figure 1) A single layer ofthe seeds was spread on aluminum trays Finally the pro-cessed kernels were kept at room temperature to cool (25plusmn2degC) Until performing the experiments the samples were
kept in polyethylene Zip-pack bag at room temperature(25degC)
24 Physical Characteristics
241 Specific Energy Consumption e energy consump-tion in each period of roasting was calculated using thefollowing equation
E 1113946t

Heat consumption of dried barley was compared underfar infrared (FIR)ndashconvection and convection alone It wasreported that the use of FIR radiation enhances the dryingrate and the energy consumption was reduced considerably[31] In another research it evaluated the energy con-sumption during IR-HA roasting of peanut kernels andreduced the energy consumption up to 31 in the HAmethod [17] Also it was observed that in drying mushroomand pomegranate using the combination of HA and IRdecreased energy consumption relative to IR drying aloneand increased it relative to HA drying [32 33] e use of IRmethod in drying persimmon sheet drying time at threelevels of 50 60 and 70 degrees respectively decreased by4639 3066 and 2238 [34]
32 Color Measurement Visual color is an important qualitycriterion for roasted foods and may be assessed in terms ofquantitative parameters such as Llowast alowast blowast color differences(ΔElowast) hue angle (hdeg) and saturation or chroma (SI) valuesColor also is an important quality indicator in the case of roastedfoods and optimized color parameters may be used as qualitycontrol indicators during the roasting processes [25 26]
Figures 3(a) and 3(b) show the degree of lightness change(Llowast) during roasting of sunflower kernels e result showedthat the highest value for Llowast was observed in raw kernels(6655) (Table 2) and power temperature and time ofthermal processing had significant effect (plt 005) on Llowastbut temperature and time had no interaction effect on it(pgt 005) A quadratic model (R2 09733) was appliedbetween different parameters as

and BI roasted peanut kernels by HA [29] but Sharma andGujral [8] reported a decrease in ΔE during roasting ofbarley
Also it was reported that increases in roasting tem-perature (90ndash190degC) and time (5ndash65min) caused a decreasein Llowast blowast and yellow index except for alowast value of groundstate-roasted pistachio kernels with HA e quadraticmodel sufficiently described the changes in color [35] eseresults are in agreement with those found by Soleimaniehet al [24] for oven and microwave-roasted sunflower seedWani et al [36] for pan and microwave roasting arrowheadtubers Gujral et al [37] for sand and microwave roasting ofoats Uysal et al [19] for roasted hazelnut by usingmicrowave-infrared combination
e values of Llowast and hdeg color parameters coffee roastedusing HA were evaluated With increasing temperature Llowast
value and hdeg decreased A second-order correlation wasfound between Llowast and roasting time [38] Change in color isdue to formation of brown pigments with low and highmolecular weight through nonenzymatic browning (NEB)reactions such as Millard reaction and caramelization andphospholipids degradation during roasting [26 36 39 40]
33 Texture Analysis Texture is one of the most importantcriteria in consumer acceptance of roasted sunflower ker-nels In general the roasting process is responsible for thecrunchy texture of nuts resulting from structural andchemical changes such as the Millard reaction decrease inmoisture content or lipid modifications reaction [41] eresults of hardness of kernels during roasting process wereshown in Figure 11 Regression analysis indicated that two-factor interaction (2FI) model (R2 07256) was the best toexplain the effects of the three independent parameters ontexture as following

e result showed that used power temperature andtime had significant effect (plt 005) on texture but powerand time or temperature and time had no interaction effecton it (pgt 005) e minimum and maximum values ofhardness of texture were 2569NS in treatment 401W158degC 36min and 1962NS in treatment 401W 121degC36min During the roasting moisture content of kernelsdecreased and they became crispier and fragile that requiredforce to break was less therefore hardness decreased

roasted kernel composition will vary with the processingconditions which is reflected on the external color of thekernels (varying from light to dark brown) and develop-ment of typical taste and flavor [49] Sensory attributes forroasted kernel were evaluated using 5-hedonic scale and arepresented in Figure 16 e sensory evaluation of roastedkernel with IR-HA method indicates that IR technology didnot affect any undesired taste and flavor texture or ap-pearance to the kernels that could be detected by panelists
4 Determination of the OptimumRoasting Condition
Optimal roasting conditions were investigated based on thelowest energy consumption which is important in de-termining the optimal conditions e best suggestedcondition by the software was 4257W of power andheating at 1243degC for 37min (Figures 17(a)ndash17(c)) whichresults in moisture content 197 hardness 14373 NS

Heat consumption of dried barley was compared underfar infrared (FIR)ndashconvection and convection alone It wasreported that the use of FIR radiation enhances the dryingrate and the energy consumption was reduced considerably[31] In another research it evaluated the energy con-sumption during IR-HA roasting of peanut kernels andreduced the energy consumption up to 31 in the HAmethod [17] Also it was observed that in drying mushroomand pomegranate using the combination of HA and IRdecreased energy consumption relative to IR drying aloneand increased it relative to HA drying [32 33] e use of IRmethod in drying persimmon sheet drying time at threelevels of 50 60 and 70 degrees respectively decreased by4639 3066 and 2238 [34]
32 Color Measurement Visual color is an important qualitycriterion for roasted foods and may be assessed in terms ofquantitative parameters such as Llowast alowast blowast color differences(ΔElowast) hue angle (hdeg) and saturation or chroma (SI) valuesColor also is an important quality indicator in the case of roastedfoods and optimized color parameters may be used as qualitycontrol indicators during the roasting processes [25 26]
Figures 3(a) and 3(b) show the degree of lightness change(Llowast) during roasting of sunflower kernels e result showedthat the highest value for Llowast was observed in raw kernels(6655) (Table 2) and power temperature and time ofthermal processing had significant effect (plt 005) on Llowastbut temperature and time had no interaction effect on it(pgt 005) A quadratic model (R2 09733) was appliedbetween different parameters as

and BI roasted peanut kernels by HA [29] but Sharma andGujral [8] reported a decrease in ΔE during roasting ofbarley
Also it was reported that increases in roasting tem-perature (90ndash190degC) and time (5ndash65min) caused a decreasein Llowast blowast and yellow index except for alowast value of groundstate-roasted pistachio kernels with HA e quadraticmodel sufficiently described the changes in color [35] eseresults are in agreement with those found by Soleimaniehet al [24] for oven and microwave-roasted sunflower seedWani et al [36] for pan and microwave roasting arrowheadtubers Gujral et al [37] for sand and microwave roasting ofoats Uysal et al [19] for roasted hazelnut by usingmicrowave-infrared combination
e values of Llowast and hdeg color parameters coffee roastedusing HA were evaluated With increasing temperature Llowast
value and hdeg decreased A second-order correlation wasfound between Llowast and roasting time [38] Change in color isdue to formation of brown pigments with low and highmolecular weight through nonenzymatic browning (NEB)reactions such as Millard reaction and caramelization andphospholipids degradation during roasting [26 36 39 40]
33 Texture Analysis Texture is one of the most importantcriteria in consumer acceptance of roasted sunflower ker-nels In general the roasting process is responsible for thecrunchy texture of nuts resulting from structural andchemical changes such as the Millard reaction decrease inmoisture content or lipid modifications reaction [41] eresults of hardness of kernels during roasting process wereshown in Figure 11 Regression analysis indicated that two-factor interaction (2FI) model (R2 07256) was the best toexplain the effects of the three independent parameters ontexture as following

Similar results were reported for roasting roasted sunflowerkernels by HA and microwave oven [24] peanut kernels byIR-HA roasting [17] roasted hazelnut by usingmicrowavendashIR [19] and roasted pistachio by HA oven[35 42]
34 Moisture Content e changes in the moisture contentof kernels during roasting were presented in Figure 12 Aquadratic model (R2 07948) was applied to describe thechanges of moisture during roasting process as following(Equation (19)) Power significantly (plt 0001) affected themoisture removal during roasting Effect of other roastingparameters (temperature and time) on moisture content wasnot significant (pgt 005) e moisture contents of samples
were in the range of 01 in treatment 500W 109degC 6minand 49 in treatment 334W 140degC 6 min

Moisture content of IR-HA roasted peanut kernels de-creased significantly by increasing IR power from 130W to200W and led to decrease 224 in the moisture content[17] Also by increasing upper and lower lamp powers of themicrowave-IR combination oven for roasting of hazelnutmoisture content decreased [19]

that a decrease in pH of peanut kernels during roasting dueto Millard reaction products and conversion of sugars toacidic compounds during roastinge effect of pH has beenevaluated in model studies finding a close relationship withthe formation of volatile compounds low pH (le5) favors theformation of pyrazines and higher pH favors the methylpyrazines and Strecker aldehydes [43]

3 Results and Discussion
31 Energy Consumption and Specific Energy Consumptione energy efficiency of the process and quality of roastedproduct are two key factors in food roasting Figures 2(a) and2(b) show the energy and specific energy consumptionduring roasting of sunflower kernels e minimum andmaximum values of specific energy consumption forroasting of sunflower kernels were 037 kWmiddothkg in treat-ment 500W 140degC 2min and 150 kWmiddothkg in treatment500W 140degC 10min Regression analysis indicated that thequadratic model (R2 09915) sufficiently described the heatconsumption (Equations (9) and (10)) Energy consumptionincreased with increasing power and time (plt 005)whereas no statistical difference in heat consumption wasobserved due to the temperature (pgt 005)

Heat consumption of dried barley was compared underfar infrared (FIR)ndashconvection and convection alone It wasreported that the use of FIR radiation enhances the dryingrate and the energy consumption was reduced considerably[31] In another research it evaluated the energy con-sumption during IR-HA roasting of peanut kernels andreduced the energy consumption up to 31 in the HAmethod [17] Also it was observed that in drying mushroomand pomegranate using the combination of HA and IRdecreased energy consumption relative to IR drying aloneand increased it relative to HA drying [32 33] e use of IRmethod in drying persimmon sheet drying time at threelevels of 50 60 and 70 degrees respectively decreased by4639 3066 and 2238 [34]
32 Color Measurement Visual color is an important qualitycriterion for roasted foods and may be assessed in terms ofquantitative parameters such as Llowast alowast blowast color differences(ΔElowast) hue angle (hdeg) and saturation or chroma (SI) valuesColor also is an important quality indicator in the case of roastedfoods and optimized color parameters may be used as qualitycontrol indicators during the roasting processes [25 26]
Figures 3(a) and 3(b) show the degree of lightness change(Llowast) during roasting of sunflower kernels e result showedthat the highest value for Llowast was observed in raw kernels(6655) (Table 2) and power temperature and time ofthermal processing had significant effect (plt 005) on Llowastbut temperature and time had no interaction effect on it(pgt 005) A quadratic model (R2 09733) was appliedbetween different parameters as

and BI roasted peanut kernels by HA [29] but Sharma andGujral [8] reported a decrease in ΔE during roasting ofbarley
Also it was reported that increases in roasting tem-perature (90ndash190degC) and time (5ndash65min) caused a decreasein Llowast blowast and yellow index except for alowast value of groundstate-roasted pistachio kernels with HA e quadraticmodel sufficiently described the changes in color [35] eseresults are in agreement with those found by Soleimaniehet al [24] for oven and microwave-roasted sunflower seedWani et al [36] for pan and microwave roasting arrowheadtubers Gujral et al [37] for sand and microwave roasting ofoats Uysal et al [19] for roasted hazelnut by usingmicrowave-infrared combination
e values of Llowast and hdeg color parameters coffee roastedusing HA were evaluated With increasing temperature Llowast
value and hdeg decreased A second-order correlation wasfound between Llowast and roasting time [38] Change in color isdue to formation of brown pigments with low and highmolecular weight through nonenzymatic browning (NEB)reactions such as Millard reaction and caramelization andphospholipids degradation during roasting [26 36 39 40]
33 Texture Analysis Texture is one of the most importantcriteria in consumer acceptance of roasted sunflower ker-nels In general the roasting process is responsible for thecrunchy texture of nuts resulting from structural andchemical changes such as the Millard reaction decrease inmoisture content or lipid modifications reaction [41] eresults of hardness of kernels during roasting process wereshown in Figure 11 Regression analysis indicated that two-factor interaction (2FI) model (R2 07256) was the best toexplain the effects of the three independent parameters ontexture as following

e result showed that used power temperature andtime had significant effect (plt 005) on texture but powerand time or temperature and time had no interaction effecton it (pgt 005) e minimum and maximum values ofhardness of texture were 2569NS in treatment 401W158degC 36min and 1962NS in treatment 401W 121degC36min During the roasting moisture content of kernelsdecreased and they became crispier and fragile that requiredforce to break was less therefore hardness decreased

Similar results were reported for roasting roasted sunflowerkernels by HA and microwave oven [24] peanut kernels byIR-HA roasting [17] roasted hazelnut by usingmicrowavendashIR [19] and roasted pistachio by HA oven[35 42]
34 Moisture Content e changes in the moisture contentof kernels during roasting were presented in Figure 12 Aquadratic model (R2 07948) was applied to describe thechanges of moisture during roasting process as following(Equation (19)) Power significantly (plt 0001) affected themoisture removal during roasting Effect of other roastingparameters (temperature and time) on moisture content wasnot significant (pgt 005) e moisture contents of samples
were in the range of 01 in treatment 500W 109degC 6minand 49 in treatment 334W 140degC 6 min
moisture content() +1280062minus 0070874A
+ 731726A2

Moisture content of IR-HA roasted peanut kernels de-creased significantly by increasing IR power from 130W to200W and led to decrease 224 in the moisture content[17] Also by increasing upper and lower lamp powers of themicrowave-IR combination oven for roasting of hazelnutmoisture content decreased [19]
ese results are in agreement with those found bySoleimanieh et al [24] for roasted sunflower kernels and

ere are few works in the literature reporting data onthe TPC of IR-roasted sunflower kernelse TPC in roastedhazelnuts using IR and HA at two differenttimetemperature conditions ranged from 048 to069mgmiddotGAEg e TPC increased during roasting com-pared with fresh samples (042plusmn 001) e TPC in roastedsamples by using HA was greater than the TPC roastedsamples by using IR probably because IR caused a higherheating in the hazelnut than HA and higher degradation ofphenolic compounds [7]
Lin et al [44] reported that the levels of total phenolssubstantially decreased in the initial roasting phase (5min)

Other authors have observed the same behavior in otherproducts [17 25 45] e reason for increasing the TPCupon roasting could be because of increasing in heat inducedand extractable phenolic compounds after roasting to theformation of Millard products complex physical andchemical reactions on phenolic including leaching of watersoluble phenolic freeing phenolic from bond forms deg-radation of polyphenols and breakdown and trans-formation of phenolic such as formation of complex
products from phenolic and proteins and formation ofMillard reaction products having antioxidative activity suchas pyrroles and furans that react with FolinndashCiocalteu re-agent [46 47] Lin et al [44] indicated that Millard reactionproducts produced during thermal treatments may increasethe antioxidant effects of processed foods

roasted kernel composition will vary with the processingconditions which is reflected on the external color of thekernels (varying from light to dark brown) and develop-ment of typical taste and flavor [49] Sensory attributes forroasted kernel were evaluated using 5-hedonic scale and arepresented in Figure 16 e sensory evaluation of roastedkernel with IR-HA method indicates that IR technology didnot affect any undesired taste and flavor texture or ap-pearance to the kernels that could be detected by panelists
4 Determination of the OptimumRoasting Condition
Optimal roasting conditions were investigated based on thelowest energy consumption which is important in de-termining the optimal conditions e best suggestedcondition by the software was 4257W of power andheating at 1243degC for 37min (Figures 17(a)ndash17(c)) whichresults in moisture content 197 hardness 14373 NS

e values of Llowast and hdeg color parameters coffee roastedusing HA were evaluated With increasing temperature Llowast
value and hdeg decreased A second-order correlation wasfound between Llowast and roasting time [38] Change in color isdue to formation of brown pigments with low and highmolecular weight through nonenzymatic browning (NEB)reactions such as Millard reaction and caramelization andphospholipids degradation during roasting [26 36 39 40]
33 Texture Analysis Texture is one of the most importantcriteria in consumer acceptance of roasted sunflower ker-nels In general the roasting process is responsible for thecrunchy texture of nuts resulting from structural andchemical changes such as the Millard reaction decrease inmoisture content or lipid modifications reaction [41] eresults of hardness of kernels during roasting process wereshown in Figure 11 Regression analysis indicated that two-factor interaction (2FI) model (R2 07256) was the best toexplain the effects of the three independent parameters ontexture as following
Hardness of texture(NmiddotS) +2187449716minus 2870636A
minus 12836302Bminus 97446144C

(18)
e result showed that used power temperature andtime had significant effect (plt 005) on texture but powerand time or temperature and time had no interaction effecton it (pgt 005) e minimum and maximum values ofhardness of texture were 2569NS in treatment 401W158degC 36min and 1962NS in treatment 401W 121degC36min During the roasting moisture content of kernelsdecreased and they became crispier and fragile that requiredforce to break was less therefore hardness decreased

Similar results were reported for roasting roasted sunflowerkernels by HA and microwave oven [24] peanut kernels byIR-HA roasting [17] roasted hazelnut by usingmicrowavendashIR [19] and roasted pistachio by HA oven[35 42]
34 Moisture Content e changes in the moisture contentof kernels during roasting were presented in Figure 12 Aquadratic model (R2 07948) was applied to describe thechanges of moisture during roasting process as following(Equation (19)) Power significantly (plt 0001) affected themoisture removal during roasting Effect of other roastingparameters (temperature and time) on moisture content wasnot significant (pgt 005) e moisture contents of samples
were in the range of 01 in treatment 500W 109degC 6minand 49 in treatment 334W 140degC 6 min
moisture content() +1280062minus 0070874A

(19)
Moisture content of IR-HA roasted peanut kernels de-creased significantly by increasing IR power from 130W to200W and led to decrease 224 in the moisture content[17] Also by increasing upper and lower lamp powers of themicrowave-IR combination oven for roasting of hazelnutmoisture content decreased [19]
ese results are in agreement with those found bySoleimanieh et al [24] for roasted sunflower kernels and

pH +594minus 0057B + 0054C (20)
e pH of sunflower kernels before roasting was 552 Ingeneral the pH increased with an increase in temperatureand time of roasting Bagheri et al [29] conversely reported
that a decrease in pH of peanut kernels during roasting dueto Millard reaction products and conversion of sugars toacidic compounds during roastinge effect of pH has beenevaluated in model studies finding a close relationship withthe formation of volatile compounds low pH (le5) favors theformation of pyrazines and higher pH favors the methylpyrazines and Strecker aldehydes [43]
36 Total Phenolic Content (TPC) Roasting treatment in-fluences TPC as well as antioxidant activities for nuts in-cluding cashew hazelnut and peanut [44] ANOVA showedthat the model developed for the TPC was quadratic(R2 07893) as in Equation (21) and Figure 14 e min-imum andmaximum values of TPCwere 1287 and 6489mggallic acid equivalent (GAE)g in treatment 401W 158degC36min and 665W 140degC 6min respectively InterestinglyTPC increased compared with fresh samples (Table 2) byroasting erefore IR-HA roasting can produce high-quality roasted sunflower kernels

ere are few works in the literature reporting data onthe TPC of IR-roasted sunflower kernelse TPC in roastedhazelnuts using IR and HA at two differenttimetemperature conditions ranged from 048 to069mgmiddotGAEg e TPC increased during roasting com-pared with fresh samples (042plusmn 001) e TPC in roastedsamples by using HA was greater than the TPC roastedsamples by using IR probably because IR caused a higherheating in the hazelnut than HA and higher degradation ofphenolic compounds [7]

Other authors have observed the same behavior in otherproducts [17 25 45] e reason for increasing the TPCupon roasting could be because of increasing in heat inducedand extractable phenolic compounds after roasting to theformation of Millard products complex physical andchemical reactions on phenolic including leaching of watersoluble phenolic freeing phenolic from bond forms deg-radation of polyphenols and breakdown and trans-formation of phenolic such as formation of complex
products from phenolic and proteins and formation ofMillard reaction products having antioxidative activity suchas pyrroles and furans that react with FolinndashCiocalteu re-agent [46 47] Lin et al [44] indicated that Millard reactionproducts produced during thermal treatments may increasethe antioxidant effects of processed foods

and BI roasted peanut kernels by HA [29] but Sharma andGujral [8] reported a decrease in ΔE during roasting ofbarley
Also it was reported that increases in roasting tem-perature (90ndash190degC) and time (5ndash65min) caused a decreasein Llowast blowast and yellow index except for alowast value of groundstate-roasted pistachio kernels with HA e quadraticmodel sufficiently described the changes in color [35] eseresults are in agreement with those found by Soleimaniehet al [24] for oven and microwave-roasted sunflower seedWani et al [36] for pan and microwave roasting arrowheadtubers Gujral et al [37] for sand and microwave roasting ofoats Uysal et al [19] for roasted hazelnut by usingmicrowave-infrared combination
e values of Llowast and hdeg color parameters coffee roastedusing HA were evaluated With increasing temperature Llowast
value and hdeg decreased A second-order correlation wasfound between Llowast and roasting time [38] Change in color isdue to formation of brown pigments with low and highmolecular weight through nonenzymatic browning (NEB)reactions such as Millard reaction and caramelization andphospholipids degradation during roasting [26 36 39 40]
33 Texture Analysis Texture is one of the most importantcriteria in consumer acceptance of roasted sunflower ker-nels In general the roasting process is responsible for thecrunchy texture of nuts resulting from structural andchemical changes such as the Millard reaction decrease inmoisture content or lipid modifications reaction [41] eresults of hardness of kernels during roasting process wereshown in Figure 11 Regression analysis indicated that two-factor interaction (2FI) model (R2 07256) was the best toexplain the effects of the three independent parameters ontexture as following

(18)
e result showed that used power temperature andtime had significant effect (plt 005) on texture but powerand time or temperature and time had no interaction effecton it (pgt 005) e minimum and maximum values ofhardness of texture were 2569NS in treatment 401W158degC 36min and 1962NS in treatment 401W 121degC36min During the roasting moisture content of kernelsdecreased and they became crispier and fragile that requiredforce to break was less therefore hardness decreased

Similar results were reported for roasting roasted sunflowerkernels by HA and microwave oven [24] peanut kernels byIR-HA roasting [17] roasted hazelnut by usingmicrowavendashIR [19] and roasted pistachio by HA oven[35 42]
34 Moisture Content e changes in the moisture contentof kernels during roasting were presented in Figure 12 Aquadratic model (R2 07948) was applied to describe thechanges of moisture during roasting process as following(Equation (19)) Power significantly (plt 0001) affected themoisture removal during roasting Effect of other roastingparameters (temperature and time) on moisture content wasnot significant (pgt 005) e moisture contents of samples
were in the range of 01 in treatment 500W 109degC 6minand 49 in treatment 334W 140degC 6 min
moisture content() +1280062minus 0070874A

(19)
Moisture content of IR-HA roasted peanut kernels de-creased significantly by increasing IR power from 130W to200W and led to decrease 224 in the moisture content[17] Also by increasing upper and lower lamp powers of themicrowave-IR combination oven for roasting of hazelnutmoisture content decreased [19]
ese results are in agreement with those found bySoleimanieh et al [24] for roasted sunflower kernels and

pH +594minus 0057B + 0054C (20)
e pH of sunflower kernels before roasting was 552 Ingeneral the pH increased with an increase in temperatureand time of roasting Bagheri et al [29] conversely reported
that a decrease in pH of peanut kernels during roasting dueto Millard reaction products and conversion of sugars toacidic compounds during roastinge effect of pH has beenevaluated in model studies finding a close relationship withthe formation of volatile compounds low pH (le5) favors theformation of pyrazines and higher pH favors the methylpyrazines and Strecker aldehydes [43]
36 Total Phenolic Content (TPC) Roasting treatment in-fluences TPC as well as antioxidant activities for nuts in-cluding cashew hazelnut and peanut [44] ANOVA showedthat the model developed for the TPC was quadratic(R2 07893) as in Equation (21) and Figure 14 e min-imum andmaximum values of TPCwere 1287 and 6489mggallic acid equivalent (GAE)g in treatment 401W 158degC36min and 665W 140degC 6min respectively InterestinglyTPC increased compared with fresh samples (Table 2) byroasting erefore IR-HA roasting can produce high-quality roasted sunflower kernels

ere are few works in the literature reporting data onthe TPC of IR-roasted sunflower kernelse TPC in roastedhazelnuts using IR and HA at two differenttimetemperature conditions ranged from 048 to069mgmiddotGAEg e TPC increased during roasting com-pared with fresh samples (042plusmn 001) e TPC in roastedsamples by using HA was greater than the TPC roastedsamples by using IR probably because IR caused a higherheating in the hazelnut than HA and higher degradation ofphenolic compounds [7]

Other authors have observed the same behavior in otherproducts [17 25 45] e reason for increasing the TPCupon roasting could be because of increasing in heat inducedand extractable phenolic compounds after roasting to theformation of Millard products complex physical andchemical reactions on phenolic including leaching of watersoluble phenolic freeing phenolic from bond forms deg-radation of polyphenols and breakdown and trans-formation of phenolic such as formation of complex
products from phenolic and proteins and formation ofMillard reaction products having antioxidative activity suchas pyrroles and furans that react with FolinndashCiocalteu re-agent [46 47] Lin et al [44] indicated that Millard reactionproducts produced during thermal treatments may increasethe antioxidant effects of processed foods

pH +594minus 0057B + 0054C (20)
e pH of sunflower kernels before roasting was 552 Ingeneral the pH increased with an increase in temperatureand time of roasting Bagheri et al [29] conversely reported
that a decrease in pH of peanut kernels during roasting dueto Millard reaction products and conversion of sugars toacidic compounds during roastinge effect of pH has beenevaluated in model studies finding a close relationship withthe formation of volatile compounds low pH (le5) favors theformation of pyrazines and higher pH favors the methylpyrazines and Strecker aldehydes [43]

Other authors have observed the same behavior in otherproducts [17 25 45] e reason for increasing the TPCupon roasting could be because of increasing in heat inducedand extractable phenolic compounds after roasting to theformation of Millard products complex physical andchemical reactions on phenolic including leaching of watersoluble phenolic freeing phenolic from bond forms deg-radation of polyphenols and breakdown and trans-formation of phenolic such as formation of complex
products from phenolic and proteins and formation ofMillard reaction products having antioxidative activity suchas pyrroles and furans that react with FolinndashCiocalteu re-agent [46 47] Lin et al [44] indicated that Millard reactionproducts produced during thermal treatments may increasethe antioxidant effects of processed foods

35 pH In this study regression analysis indicated that 2FImodel (R2 06141) was the best to explain the effects of thethree independent parameters on pH as following (Equation(20)) Temperature and time had significant effect (plt 005)on pH (Figure 13)
pH +594minus 0057B + 0054C (20)
e pH of sunflower kernels before roasting was 552 Ingeneral the pH increased with an increase in temperatureand time of roasting Bagheri et al [29] conversely reported
that a decrease in pH of peanut kernels during roasting dueto Millard reaction products and conversion of sugars toacidic compounds during roastinge effect of pH has beenevaluated in model studies finding a close relationship withthe formation of volatile compounds low pH (le5) favors theformation of pyrazines and higher pH favors the methylpyrazines and Strecker aldehydes [43]
36 Total Phenolic Content (TPC) Roasting treatment in-fluences TPC as well as antioxidant activities for nuts in-cluding cashew hazelnut and peanut [44] ANOVA showedthat the model developed for the TPC was quadratic(R2 07893) as in Equation (21) and Figure 14 e min-imum andmaximum values of TPCwere 1287 and 6489mggallic acid equivalent (GAE)g in treatment 401W 158degC36min and 665W 140degC 6min respectively InterestinglyTPC increased compared with fresh samples (Table 2) byroasting erefore IR-HA roasting can produce high-quality roasted sunflower kernels
TPC(mgmiddotGAEg) +572697minus 0674A + 23170C

(21)
ere are few works in the literature reporting data onthe TPC of IR-roasted sunflower kernelse TPC in roastedhazelnuts using IR and HA at two differenttimetemperature conditions ranged from 048 to069mgmiddotGAEg e TPC increased during roasting com-pared with fresh samples (042plusmn 001) e TPC in roastedsamples by using HA was greater than the TPC roastedsamples by using IR probably because IR caused a higherheating in the hazelnut than HA and higher degradation ofphenolic compounds [7]
Lin et al [44] reported that the levels of total phenolssubstantially decreased in the initial roasting phase (5min)

and then increased gradually with roasting duration inroasted almond kernel into air convection oven
Other authors have observed the same behavior in otherproducts [17 25 45] e reason for increasing the TPCupon roasting could be because of increasing in heat inducedand extractable phenolic compounds after roasting to theformation of Millard products complex physical andchemical reactions on phenolic including leaching of watersoluble phenolic freeing phenolic from bond forms deg-radation of polyphenols and breakdown and trans-formation of phenolic such as formation of complex
products from phenolic and proteins and formation ofMillard reaction products having antioxidative activity suchas pyrroles and furans that react with FolinndashCiocalteu re-agent [46 47] Lin et al [44] indicated that Millard reactionproducts produced during thermal treatments may increasethe antioxidant effects of processed foods

roasted kernel composition will vary with the processingconditions which is reflected on the external color of thekernels (varying from light to dark brown) and develop-ment of typical taste and flavor [49] Sensory attributes forroasted kernel were evaluated using 5-hedonic scale and arepresented in Figure 16 e sensory evaluation of roastedkernel with IR-HA method indicates that IR technology didnot affect any undesired taste and flavor texture or ap-pearance to the kernels that could be detected by panelists
4 Determination of the OptimumRoasting Condition
Optimal roasting conditions were investigated based on thelowest energy consumption which is important in de-termining the optimal conditions e best suggestedcondition by the software was 4257W of power andheating at 1243degC for 37min (Figures 17(a)ndash17(c)) whichresults in moisture content 197 hardness 14373 NS
