Osmotic Drying of Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) in Sucrose Solution
Osmotic drying is a process of partial removal of water by submersing fruits in sucrose solution. Th e goal of this paper is to examine kinetic features of osmotic drying of apricot halves in sucrose solution. For osmotic drying of apricot halves in a thick immovable layer, a planned experiment was conducted. Experimental results were used to create an empirical model of osmotic drying kinetics...
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...
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 کاملUltrasound-Assisted Vacuum Drying of Wood: Effects on Drying Time and Product Quality
Ultrasonic energy was applied to assist the wood vacuum drying process. At a drying temperature of 60°C, the absolute pressure was either 0.05 MPa or 0.08 MPa; the ultrasonic power and frequency were 100 W and 28 kHz, respectively. The results showed that the effective water diffusivity of the specimens dried by the ultrasonic assisted vacuum drying at 0.05 MPa or 0.08 MPa were higher than that...
متن کاملmodeling of thin layer drying of apricot
in this research the thin layer drying behavior of apricot (cv. ghavami and nasiry) at temperatures of drying air of 40, 50, 60 and 70 ºc and at drying air velocity of 2 ms-1 was studied. in order to select the best drying curve equation, 9 different thin layer drying models were fitted to the experimental data and were compared according to their coefficient of determination (r2), reduced chi-...
