drying behavior of two types of pomegranates as well as the effect of drying conditions on moisture loss trend and on effective diffusion coefficient of arils are discussed in this article. also, an appropriate mathematical drying model as well as the activation energy of sweet and sour pomegranate arils, dried in vacuum and microwave driers are pursued and presented. results of regression anal...

A study was conducted to find out the optimum tray load and drier type for the drying of osmosed mango, guava slices and aonla segments. The osmosed slices and segments were dehydrated in a cabinet drier, low temperature drier and vacuum drier with the tray loads of 0.30, 0.35, 0.40 and 0.45 g/cm. On the basis of, correlation and regression analyses performed by using dehydration time (h), drie...

dehydration, as one of the practical ways to increase the shelf-life and applicability of yoghurt in various foodstuffs, is normally done by freeze drier (fd) which is an expensive and time-consuming process. for these reasons, in the present study the capability of microwave–vacuum drier (mvd), as an alternative process, was investigated. for doing so, the fat free yoghurt samples of 2.2, 4.2 ...

In this study, the effect of edible coat (carboxy methyl cellulose) before osmotic dehydration anddifferent drying methods on sensory and physical properties of dried apple (V. Golden delicious)rings was investigated. The coated and non-coated samples pretreated with 50% sucrose osmoticsolution and dried in freeze drier (-40 to -50°C, 0.026-0.017 mbar, 24 hr), vacuum drier (70°C, 200mbar, 8-10 ...

Drying of the soymilk residue Okara was investigated by the two different drying processes in order to obtain good quality Okara in respect of its composition and shelf life characteristics. In one method the drying of wet Okara was accomplished in a Vacuum tray drier, maintained at around 758 mm Hg and 50 o C thereby reducing moisture content by as much as 95%. In the other method drying of Ok...

The evaporation of methanol from needle-shaped particles of cellobiose octaacetate (COA) has been studied directly in a jacketed vacuum drier using in situ measurements by Raman spectrometry. A design of experiments (DoE) approach was used to investigate the effects of three parameters (method of agitation, % solvent loss on drying and jacket temperature), with the intention of minimising the d...
