Cassava slices drying by using a combined hot-air single-plane microwave dryer

mathematical modeling of onion drying process using hot air dryer

the main purpose of present paper is the modeling of onion drying process and investigation of experimental data of onion drying obtained with using a hot air dryer. therefore some empirical and regression models have been considered to fit experimental data. the investigation of the experimental data shows the onion drying happens only in falling rate zone. the experimental data have been fitt...

Mathematical Modelling of Thin Layer Drying Kinetics of Onion Slices Hot-air Convection, Infrared Radiation and Combined Infrared-Convection Drying

Drying Macadamia Nuts by Hot Air Combined with Microwaves as Compared to the Conventional Hot Air Process

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Rough Rice Drying in Infrared-assisted Hot Air Dryer Using Artificial Neural Network

Drying characteristics of rough rice (variety of lenjan) with an initial moisture content of 25% dry basis (db) was studied in a hot air dryer assisted by infrared heating. Three arrival air temperatures (30, 40 and 50C) and four infrared radiation intensities (0, 0.2 , 0.4 and 0.6 W/cm) and three arrival air speeds (0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 m.s) were studied. Bending strength of brown rice kernel, pe...

Osmotic dehydration combined with hot air convective drying of Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) gel

Aloe vera gel is widely used as a functional ingredient in food processing. This gel is very unstable due to its high water activity. Drying process can be used to obtain shelf stable products. Response surface methodology was used to assess the effects of solution concentration (30-60% w/w), solution temperature (30-50°C) and immersion time (4-6h) at atmospheric pressure and constant solution ...
