Thermal aspects of open sun drying of various crops
Open sun drying (OSD) is the most common method of crop drying in developing countries. Despite several disadvantages, it is widely practiced because it is a simple way of drying. Crop temperature, temperature around the crop, solair temperature, and rate of moisture evaporation are the important parameters in OSD. The thermal behavior of OSD of green chillies, green pea, white gram (kabuli cha...
متن کاملComparison of Selected Metals Content in Cambodian Striped Snakehead Fish (Channa striata) Using Solar Drying System and Open Sun Drying
The content of 12 elements in Cambodian dried striped snakehead fish was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The present study compares the level of the trace toxic metals and nutritional trace elements in the fish processed using solar drying system (SDS) and open sun drying (OSD). The skin of SDS fish has lower level of As, Pb, and Cd compared to the OSD sample. As ...
متن کاملStudy on Drying Kinetics of Paddy Rice: Intermittent Drying
The intermittent drying characteristics of an Iranian popular paddy rice variety were experimentally investigated to determine the drying kinetics and obtain the effective moisture diffusivity. A lab-scale fluidized bed dryer was designed and constructed to enable obtaining the required results while controlling critical drying parameters. The effects of drying temperature and tempering per...
متن کاملIndividual Rice Kernel Drying Curves
Drying data for individual rice kernels and bulk samples selected from various tillers of a plant and from different maturity groups were experimentally obtained. The data showed that over 93% of the drying occurred within 24 h of exposure to air at 40° C and 60% relative humidity. Differences in the equilibrium moisture content and drying rate constant among kernels were observed. Equilibrium ...
متن کاملAn improved HPLC method for determination of colocynthin in colocynth
Background and objectives: Colocynthin is the major active secondary metabolite of colocynth, Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad, which has been used in traditional and ethno medicine of many countries. It could be considered as an active marker for quality control of colocynth and its herbal products. Analysis and standardization of colocynth and its herbal preparations are a critical...
