Investigation of kinetics of amla (Emblica officinalis) fruit drying process
This study aims to investigate the kinetics of the amla fruit drying process using oven and sun drying methods. The experimental results indicate that the final moisture content dropped with increasing drying temperature and decreasing material size ...

Assessment of Efficiency of Drying Grain Materials Using Microwave Heating [PDF]
We present results of experimental work on studying the drying of a dense layer of grain using microwave heating. We investigated a series of techniques to supply heat to grain to assess energy efficiency of a microwave field.

Wheat germ thermal treatment in fluidised bed. Experimental study and mathematical modelling of the heat and mass transfer [PDF]
Wheat germ is an abundant by-product of the milling industry, it has excellent nutritional qualities and high tocopherols content. The aim of this work was to study the kinetics of wheat germ drying in fluidised thin-layers by applying analytical ...

Mechanical tuning of the evaporation rate of liquid on crossed fibers [PDF]
We investigate experimentally the drying of a small volume of perfectly wetting liquid on two crossed fibers. We characterize the drying dynamics for the three liquid morphologies that are encountered in this geometry: drop, column and a mixed morphology,

Drying kinetics and mass transfer properties in the drying of thistle flower [PDF]
Abstract Thistle flowers, and particularly their stigmas, are used to coagulate milk in the production of a number of traditional Portuguese cheeses due to their high milk-clotting activity provided by the high content of aspartic proteases. The aim of the present work was to determine the mass transfer properties of thistle flower under different ...

Drying and denaturation kinetics of Beta-Lactoglobulin during convective drying [PDF]
Abstract Beta-Lactoglobulin (β-Lg) is the major fraction of whey protein that comprises more than 65%. Therefore, denaturation of β-Lg during drying can affect the protein functionality where the whey protein is used as an ingredient in food products.

Effect of Swell-Drying on Mango (Mangifera indica) Drying Kinetics
Swell-Drying operation (SD) was applied on mangoes to evaluate its effect on drying kinetics: starting accessibility (δW), apparent drying coefficient (Dapp), and time to obtain a final moisture content of 20% d.b (tf = 20% d.b). Swell-drying consisted of (1) submitting fresh mangoes to a first pre-drying stage under Convective Air Drying (CAD) until a

Spatially Resolved Monitoring of Drying of Hierarchical Porous Organic Networks [PDF]
Evaporation kinetics of water confined in hierarchal polymeric porous media is studied by low field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Systems synthesized with various degrees of cross-linker density render networks with similar pore sizes but different ...
