Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is a traditional staple crop grown for its starchy fruit throughout Oceania. This study therefore investigated the effect of maturity and different drying methods on some rheological and physicochemical properties of reconstituted breadfruit flour (Artocarpus altilis) (amala). Freshly harvested breadfruits (mature and immature) were washed in clean water to remov...

Drying via solar energy is an environmentally friendly and inexpensive process. For controlled bulk level drying, a greenhouse dryer the most suitable dryer. The efficiency of can be increased by using thermal storage. agricultural products dried in greenhouses are reported to higher quality than those sun because they shielded from dust, rain, insects, birds, animals. heat storage-based was fo...

Solar energy is the most promising of renewable sources in view its apparent limitless potential. A Dual Source Dryer was developed under Bauchi weather at latitude 9°14′ N and longitude 12°26′ E using locally available materials performance evaluated. The essence dryer to achieve effective method tomato preservation eliminate drudgery product deterioration associated with traditional methods o...

Solar dryer technology is simple and can be implemented by households small communities due to its simplicity. The suitable design of the absorber/collector very vital for any solar drying system as collector efficiency plays a key role in determining overall efficiency. To study practical applicability developed dryer, grapes were dried chamber designed comparison, open sunlight. Faster was no...

Thenatural convective domestic dryer has been designed and fabricated in conformity with the atmospheric conditions of Kashmir Valley. Bottle gourd was dehydrated samples were analyzed for quality attributes. The drying time reduced to 22 hours, water activity sampleis restricted low value (0.349) leading constrained microbial growth. Moisture content dried is found be 2.842 % which significant...

Application of tray dryer is widely used in agricultural drying because of its simple design and capability to dry products at high volume. However, the greatest drawback of the tray dryer is uneven drying because of poor airflow distribution in the drying chamber. Implementing the proper design of a tray dryer system may eliminate or reduce non-uniformity of drying and increases dryer efficien...

The noodles in the market are dry with 8-10% water content. Dried have a longer shelf life because they less prone to mold growth. Drying help of sun and tray dryers currently an option efficient do not require lot energy. Reduction content is also optimized by soaking wet salt water. This study aims determine effect flow rate decrease noodles. began solution variation 50-150 g/L, then dried fo...

An experimental methodology was developed to improve the energy design of paddle dryers for sewage sludges. A laboratory batch dryer with a vertical agitator has been especially designed and instrumented to determine the heat flux densities. To determine the drying kinetic and the evaporating flow rates, the specific heat and the total heat of desorption of the sludge were measured using calori...

BACKGROUND Hair dryers are commonly used and can cause hair damage such as roughness, dryness and loss of hair color. It is important to understand the best way to dry hair without causing damage. OBJECTIVE The study assessed changes in the ultra-structure, morphology, moisture content, and color of hair after repeated shampooing and drying with a hair dryer at a range of temperatures. METH...

in recent years immense interest has been focused on the use of solar dryers especially when taking into consideration economical and ecological aspects and increasing in fuel costs. the aim of this study was to compare the qualitative factors of raisins made by five different drying methods. at the first step, pretreatments were applied to grapes (var. sultanas) and then the grapes were dried ...
