Infrared heating for dry-roasting and pasteurization of almonds

The use of infrared (IR) heating for improving the microbial safety and processing efficiency of dryroasted almonds was investigated. Almonds were roasted at 130, 140 and 150 C with three different methods: IR roasting, sequential infrared and hot air (SIRHA) roasting, and traditional hot air (HA) roasting. The heating rate and pasteurization efficacy of almonds under different roasting methods...

Biological activities caused by far-infrared radiation.

Contrary to previous presumption, accumulated evidence indicates that far-infrared rays are biologically active. A small ceramic disk that emits far-infrared rays (4-16 microns) has commonly been applied to a local spot or a whole part of the body for exposure. Pioneering attempts to experimentally analyze an effect of acute and chronic radiation of far-infrared rays on living organisms have de...

Development of Pedestrian Detection System Using Far-Infrared Ray Camera

Driver assistance systems are being developed by automakers as mean to reduce traffic accidents. For examples, night vision systems that warn drivers of pedestrians during nighttime driving and pre-crash safety systems for collision mitigation have been commercialized in recent years, indicating that pedestrian detection will become an important function for driver assistance systems in the nea...

Kinetic Modeling of Mass Transfer During Roasting of Soybeans Using Combined Infrared-Hot Air Heating

ABSTRACT: Roasting is one of the widespread methods for processing of nuts and beans that significantly enhances the flavor, color, texture and appearance of the products. In this research the kinetics and modeling of soybean roasting using combined infrared-hot air system and consumption of energy were investigated. The effect of the hot air temperature (160, 180 and 200 ºC), infrared powers (...
