چکیده

this research, presents mathematical modeling of drying process of aloe vera slices with dimensions of 7×4×0.5±0.1 cm. peeled aloe vera slices with the initial moisture content of 5750% (d.b) were osmosed for 5 hours in nacl solution of 10% and temperature of 40 °c at a constant solution to fruit ratio of 5:1. osmosed and unosmosed aloe vera samples were hot air dried at 55, 70 and 85°c with different air flow rates of 0.015, 0.036 and 0.054 m3/s for 13200s. the moisture content of aloe vera samples were measured over different intervals of drying time (1200, 2400, 6000, 9600, 13200s) for each experiment. the experimental results were used to obtain two different dimensionless models based on buckingham’s pi-theorem for both drying methods. to this end, three independent π terms were identified and then the relation between dependent π term and each independent π term was sought. finally, the dimensionless models incorporating the effect of all the independent π terms on the dependent one derived and evaluated. the rmse, (r2), mrd and mbe for the modeling of osmotic-convective drying method were calculated as 0.0185, 0.99, 0.05 and 0.034, respectively. also these statistical parameters for the convective drying method were as: 0.027, 0.98, 0.061 and 0.051, respectively. therefore the dimensionless models could predict the moisture content of aloe vera samples during drying, properly.

Osmo-air drying of aloe vera gel cubes

Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) cubes of 12.5 × 12.5 × 12.5 mm thick were osmosed for 4 h in sugar syrup of 30, 40 and 50°Brix concentration and temperatures of 30 and 50°C at constant syrup to fruit ratio of 5:1. Osmosed and unosmosed aloe vera samples were hot air dried at 50, 60, 70 and 80°C with constant air velocity of 1.5 m/s. The water loss, solid gain and convective drying behaviour...

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 ...
