Hot Air and Microwave Combined Drying of Potato Monitored by Infrared Thermography

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

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 (...

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 ...

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

quality characteristics of persimmon slices during infrared and hot- air drying

introduction: one of the most important aspects of food preservation is controlling the moisture of material such as fruits.dryingis considered as important method to controlbacteriasafely using reduction of moisture. the hot air drying method has been widely adopted in manufacturing of conventional dried food.nowadays, infrared radiation (ir) has significant advantages over conventional drying...
