Assessment of microwave energy for disinfestation of grain
Infestation of grain by insects is widely controlled by the use of insecticides. Use of contact insecticides results in chemical residues left in the food which may have adverse effects on humans. Also insects develop resistance to both contact insecticides and fumigants. Microwave disinfestation offers an alternate way to disinfest grain. Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies r...
متن کاملMicrowave Drying of Wood Strands
Characteristics of microwave drying of wood strands with different initial moisture contents and geometries were investigated using a commercial 10 small microwave oven under different power inputs. Temperature and moisture changes along with the drying efficiency were examined at different drying scenar ios. Extractives were analyzed using gas chromatography=mass spectrometry (GC=MS). The res...
متن کاملMicrowave Drying of Paper Documents
A new advanced microwave drying technology has been developed using a continuous dryer combined with an air cooler. Principle of the new technology consist in using microwave absorption filters made from special porous ceramics which act as both absorbent and transparent material for microwaves. Ceramic slabs reduce intensity of microwave radiation to such a extent which prevents overheating or...
متن کاملDrying and storage primed grass seeds
Cbeatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) has become the dominant species over large areas of rangeland in the Great Basin region of the western United States. Rapid germination at low temperature may contribute to the competitive success of cheatgrass in areas formerly dominated by native sagebrush and bunchgrass species. The objectives of this study were to determine whether seed priming could be used ...
متن کاملMultistage heat pump drying of macadamia nut under modified atmosphere
Multistage heat pump drying of macadamia nut under modified atmosphere was studied to improve the drying process and quality of the nuts. Conditions of study included drying temperature of 40-60°C, using nitrogen and normal air as drying medium. Drying kinetics and quality of nuts (moisture content, aw, rancidity and colour) as well as energy consumption of all drying processes were examined. T...
