People with animal protein allergies are not allowed to consume cow’s milk. Moringa oleifera rich in a number of nutrients such as protein, vitamins, calcium, iron, and micronutrients, can be an alternative substitute This study aimed evaluate the influence drying air temperature velocity on rate, kinetic physicochemical properties moringa milk powder. The process was conducted using tray dryer...

one of the new techniques applied in the drying process of food stuffs that can increase the drying rate, enhanced the product quality, and while decresing the costs of processing is an application of infrared radiational energy. in this study the thin layer drying process of button mushroom was modeled through an infrared applied drying method. drying experiments with sliced samples of button ...

The objectives of this study were to compare the efficacy of 6 different dry-cow intramammary antimicrobial products for the treatment and prevention of mastitis during the dry period in a well-managed high producing Friesland dairy herd, and the influence of treatment on the somatic cell count (SCC) of cows during early lactation. One of 6 dry-cow intramammary antimicrobial products was random...

Solid biofuels, such as bark, forest residues, sawdust, and wood chips are important mill fuels in the forest industry. They are combusted in combined heat and power plants (CHP-plants) to generate heat and electricity for pulp and paper making processes. Biofuels usually have high moisture content. The high moisture content decreases the effective heating value of fuel and makes the operation ...

In this paper, water content from celery, corn, and sour cherry were removed through tunnel, fluidized bed, and fluidized bed with microwave dryers. One day before performing the experiments, the fruits were put into a refrigerator and were ground into slices with average dimensions of 5×8×8 mm. For each experiment, 40 g of the samples were inserted in dryers. Moisture content in the samples wa...

This paper deals with thermal drying of wastewater sludges, whose management will become crucial in the forthcoming years. Sludges collected after mechanical dewatering in 5 different WWTPs are submitted to the same convective drying treatment in order to try finding some relations between the drying behaviours, the type of effluent and wastewater treatments. Results show dearly sludge drying r...

in this study, mathematical modeling of hot air-drying of thin-layer papaya (carica papaya l.) slices with 5±1 mm thickness pretreated in osmotic solution (50% sucrose) was investigated. thin-layer drying was conducted under three different drying temperatures of 40, 50 and 60 °c at a constant air velocity of 0.9±0.1 m/s and absolute humidity of 0.6 ± 0.02 g of water/kg of dry air. it was found...

freeze-drying is a common preservation technology in the pharmaceutical industry. various studies have investigated the effect of different cryoprotectants on probiotics during freeze-drying. however, information on the effect of cryoprotectants on the stability of some lactobacillus strains during freeze-drying seems scarce. therefore, the aim of the present study was to establish production m...

important parameters on apple drying process are investigated experimentally and modeled employing artificial neural network and neuro-taguchi's method. experimental results show that the apple drying curve stands in the falling rate period of drying. temperature is the most important parameter that has a more pronounced effect on drying rate than the other two parameters i.e. air velocity and ...
