The objective of this work was to dry sewage sludge using a fry-drying process. The frying experiments were carried out in commercial fryers modified by adding thermocouples to the setup. During frying, typical drying curves were obtained and it was verified that, in relation to the parameters: oil temperature, oil type and shape of the sample, the shape factor the most effect on the drying rat...

Some marine mammals may increase their underwater locomotor efficiency by taking down little air for dives and descending passively, although at the point of maximum depth they presumably have to use energy to counteract the downthrust, to stop themselves sinking further. Birds, having considerable quantities of body-associated air, would appear not to have this option. However, measurements of...

introduction: texture is one of the most important attribute in foods and is always issues for the manufacturing of fried products, because texture plays a crucial role in consumer acceptance and the perceived quality of foods. prediction of changes in texture during frying can be helpful in process control. structurally, this quality parameter in fried potato strip made from the formation of a...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasound and drying pretreatments on apparent density as well as modeling apparent density during deep-fat frying of potato slices. ultrasound pretreatment was performed at 28 and 40 khz for 15 min and drying pretreatment were conducted at 80°c for 8 and 15 min. then, the frying process was done at 150, 170 and 190°c for 60, 120, 180 and ...

The main objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of the frying media and storage time on the fatty acid composition (FAC) and iodine value (IV) of deep-fat fried potato chips. The frying experiment was conducted at 180oC for five consecutive days. Six frying media were considered as the main treatments: refined, bleached, deodorized (RBD) palm olein (A), canola oil (C), RB...

Fungus isolate, Aspergillus sp. (RBD01), which was isolated from biocontaminated clarified butter was evaluated for its potential to transesterify used edible and non-edible oils for generation of alkyl esters, when used as biocatalyst as dry biomass. The work aimed at determining the potential of dry biomass of Aspergillus sp. (RBD01) to transesterify used cottonseed oil and non-edible oils vi...

 The study aims to determine the influence of frying (shallow and deep) with olive, canola and sunflower oil on fatty acid composition of silver carp. Frying by olive oil and canola oil increased the monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) significantly (p<0.05) that consequently decreased saturated fatty acids (SFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and ω-3 fatty acids. Frying by sunflow...
