This manuscript describes the development and application of a simple, inexpensive, and green method for the quantification of urea in skin moisturizer creams, using a combined spot test/diffuse reflectance spectroscopy ...

Moisture diffusivities in high oleic seeds and kernels were obtained from experimental thin layer drying rates in the range of 25–90°C air temperature and 4.2–33.5% initial moisture content (d.b.). Moisture diffusivity ...

Fresh persimmon has a high moisture content (about 85% wet basis) making it highly perishable and requiring adequate drying conditions to obtain an acceptable dehydrated product. Drying kinetics of persimmon cv. Rama Forte ...

The apparent diffusion coefficients for sucrose, NaCl and water during osmotic dehydration of tomatoes in ternary solutions were determined. Long time experiments (up to 60 h) were carried out in order to determine equilibrium ...

During the thermal process to transform lignocellulosic wastes in energy, the drying process is an important stage because it requires energy and decreases overall process yield. Considering this process, moisture diffusivity ...
