A New Integrated FQFD Approach for Improving Quality and Reliability of Solar Drying Systems
Saffron is the most expensive spice and is significantly valuable in non-oil export. Drying process of saffron is considered as a critical control point with major effects on quality and safety parameters. A suitable drying method covering standards and market requirements while it is costlty benefitial and saves energy is desirable. Solar drying could be introduced as an appropriate procedure ...
متن کاملOptimization on drying conditions of a solar electrohydrodynamic drying system based on desirability concept
The purpose of this article was to present a new drying method for agricultural products. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) has been applied for drying of agricultural materials due to several advantages such as energy saving, low cost equipment, low drying temperatures, and superior material quality. To evaluate this method, an EHD dryer based on solar (photovoltaic) energy was designed and fabricated...
متن کاملInfrared Drying as a Potential Alternative to Convective Drying for Biltong Production
Two infrared systems set at an intensity of 4777 W/m2 with peak emission wavelengths of 2.5 and 3.5 µm were used to produce biltong by drying differently pre-treated meat. In addition to meat texture and colour, the microbial quality of the biltong produced was assessed by quantifying viable heterotrophic microorganisms using a most probable number (MPN) method and by verifying the presence of ...
متن کاملevaluation of microwave and convective finish drying parameters and drying effects on color of dried grapes
in this study, the possibility of microwave finish drying for two types of dried grapes (natural and sultana) was investigated. the samples were washed in water bath at given temperature ranges (25 and 45 c) for 30 to 60 minutes. after dewatering the samples, they were dried using microwave (at two powers: 270 and 450 w) and hot air convective dryer (at 50 c). water gain (%), effective moistu...
متن کاملSolar Drying Technology for Food Preservation
Food losses in the developing world are thought to be 50% of the fruits and vegetables grown and 25% of harvested food grain (Burden, 1989). Food preservation can reduce wastage of a harvest surplus, allow storage for food shortages, and in some cases facilitate export to high-value markets. Drying is one of the oldest methods of food preservation. Drying makes produce lighter, smaller, and les...
