The awareness and knowledge of postharvest losses at the farm level is still very low, so it necessary to conduct research determine application technology level. was conducted from January December 2017 in Minahasa, North Minahasa South districts. results study showed that each stage treatment varied 5% conventional 1.92% introduced technology. use BB shelling tools with an operating time 9 mi...

Preservation of food and vegetable products is an age-old practice for the retention flavor, appearance, quality. From ancient times, driers drying grains work on direct sun rays, firewood, fossil fuels, coals causing carbon release. These available methods are expensive, unreliable, unhygienic; thereby use a solar dryer working free clean energy better higher value addition to preservation. Th...

The world is beginning to move away from its consumption of fossil fuels. Various technologies are being developed make use renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and tidal, etc. Solar the best choice among these because it readily available, abundant, capable producing both electric space heating. can be used directly or indirectly dry agricultural non-agricultural products preserve the...

A clothes dryer, however, might be fitted with a sensor-based feedback system that lets the machine measure the moisture content of the fabrics or the exhaust air, and turn itself off when the load is dry. Operating performance is enhanced and energy use is lowered as a result. The redesigned dryer might even be cheaper to buy, depending mainly on the cost of the components that comprise the el...

The drying or dehydration is the controlled heating of food products to evaporate quantified amount of moisture that is originally present in it. Drying of food products is essential to enhance the shelf life of the product without quality losses over an extended period of time. It is an energy intensive process. The fluidized bed dryer with heat pump is one of the efficient method to reduce th...

The main aim of this study was to develop an integrated solar-tracking system maximize the efficiency solar heaters manufactured from recyclable aluminum cans (RAC) for optimum drying apple slices. results revealed that thermal air heater incorporated with a tracking unit significantly improved by about 45% compared conventional fixed at all tested flow rates. highest 87.1% equipped achieved ra...
