[ 1 ] - Experimental study and mathematical modeling of thin layer drying of rhubarb (Rheum ribes L.)
In this study rhubarb stem slices were dried as single layers with thickness of 3 mm in the inlet air temperature range of 50-70 and air velocity of 1 ± 0.2 m/s in a laboratory scale cabinet dryer. The effect of drying air temperature on the drying characteristics was determined and the relationship between the drying parameters with temperature and moisture content was examined. Moisture tran...
[ 2 ] - 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 ...
