Murta (Ugni molinae Turcz) berries were dried under convective and combined convective-infrared conditions at 40, 50 and 60°C and 400-800 W in order to determine the drying characteristics and to compare the dried product's ...

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 drying of wet Tetraethoxysilane-derived gels was studied by means of thermogravimetric analysis as a function of the time, from the instant when the samples were placed into a pre-heated oven, kept at 70, 83 and 100 ...

A mathematical model able to predict solid and drying gas temperature and moisture content axial profiles along a direct contact rotary dryer was developed. The study was focused on the drying kinetics based on phenomenological ...

The effects of three dry bulb temperatures (35°C, 40°C, and 45°C) and three dew point temperatures (2.6°C, 10.8°C, and 16.2°C) of the drying air on the drying kinetics and sensory quality of natural coffee were evaluated. ...

Objectives: To analyze the drying kinetics and functional properties of Dietary Fiber Concentrates (DFCs), produced from papaya by-products (pulp or peel) dehydrated by microwave or hot air convection at 40°C. Methods/Statistical ...
