The objective of this study was to reveal the usefulness image processing and machine learning for non-destructive evaluation changes in mint leaves caused by two natural drying techniques. effects shade open-air sun on ventral side (upper surface) dorsal (lower were compared. Texture parameters extracted from digital color images converted channels R, G, B, L, a, b, X, Y, Z. Models based featu...

background & aim: salvia hydrangea is one of the medicinal plants belonging to lamiaceae family. medicinal plants can be marketed as fresh or dried products; however aromatic plants are often dried before extraction to reduce moisture content. the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different drying methods on qualitative and quantitative changes in essential oil of sage. experiment...

African leafy vegetables are rich in micronutrients that can help solve hidden hunger problems Sub-Saharan Africa. However, their availability is limited due to seasonality and high post-harvest losses, which account for about 50%. In the field survey, we observed wilted usually discarded from Morogoro Region, Tanzania markets. That loss also contributes of resources used cultivate transport ve...

This study examines the features of traditional houses Laftan village in Farah Province, Western Afghanistan. The composition was found to be strongly related local climate, topography, and mosques as center community. All are one-story buildings constructed with pakhsa (pressed mud) wall domical vault roofs sun-dried bricks. plans, cooling systems, roof types depend on age houses.

Generally, fish are unhygienically sun dried, which causes the considerable reduction of quality and safety product. The effects drying methods on physico-chemical, microbiological, sensory properties Megalaspis cordyla were investigated. Fish dried using traditional (without pre-treatment), improved (treated with 5% salt solution), improved-TC solution rubbed turmeric chili powder) solar tunne...

Solar drying and convective oven of cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) were compared. The changes in the chemical parameters principal recorded during process. Drying curves fitted to several mathematical models, effects air temperature evaluated by multiple regression analyses, comparing previously reported models. Models for conditions indicated a final water content 30% (semidry products...

This study performed physical, chemical, and microbiological analyses to determine the best formulation shelf life of a new additive-free Mediterranean diet product. The spreadable creamed product was formulated with roasted peanut (32%) hazelnut mixed, sweetened dried grape (15%) sun-dried apricot (15%). Different storage temperatures as 25 oC, 35 45 oC were used for prediction accelerated she...
