Two studies were conducted to assess whether routine applications of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy could predict the effects of silage proteolysis on ruminal crude protein (CP) degradation of legume and grass silages. A preliminary study was conducted to assess the effect of laboratory drying method on ruminal CP degradation of silages. Thirty legume and grass silages were freeze-, ove...

Drying organic material before soil incorporation is a common procedure used in mineralization or decomposition studies. A laboratory study was conducted to determine the effect of drying methods on plant C and N and associated mineralization patterns in soil. Freezeand oven-dried water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart] Solms) was added to a Kendrick soil (loamy, siliceous, hyperthermic Are...

Gloriosa superba is a very important medicinal plant that is used for the treatment of diseases like Gout, arthritis, cancer and act as anthelmintic, antimitotic and antiabortive agent. Its tuber is a great source of Colchicine for the pharmaceutical industries and requires drying before extraction. The accelerated artificial drying technique using Microwave Vacuum oven was evaluated with other...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of biological treatment withpleurotus floridafungi on chemical composition and rumen dry matter (dm) and organic matter (om) degradability of wheat and barley straw. wheat and barley straw were collected from golestan province of iran and after pasteurization mixed with fungi spawn (than 5% by weight). after 21 days samples were dried in oven (...

background : agaricus blazei mushrooms are one of the most important edible and therapeutic mushrooms, and they contain minerals, vitamins, and amino acids essential for the human body. this mushroom is used raw, dried, and in the form of pharmaceutical products. one of the most important processes after harvesting is drying in order to enhance the quality and the length of maintenance of the p...

After industrial coating processes lacquer has to to be dried with the help of heat. Often this is done by hot air or infrared systems. Compared to other technologies Infrared heat needs less space and provides energy exactly where it is needed. Infrared drying has the best results with material which has a simple geometric shape. But if the oven is designed appropriate to the requirements lacq...

In this work, oven-dried, freeze-dried and spray-dried agaro-oligosaccharide powders were characterized to investigate their physicochemical and antioxidant properties. Agarooligosaccharide powders were shown to exhibit high water solubility index (88.73 – 95.88%), water absorption capacity (0.96 – 2.57 g/g) and oil absorption capacity (0.40 – 0.45 g/g). Agarooligosaccharide powders were shown ...
