The objective was to study the effect of the drying time and moisture content variations on the drying rate during kiln drying. The moisture content is a good predictor of the variation in drying rate; to determine the ...

With the aim of making food drying processing data and their evaluation available, this work entails evaluating the air-drying kinetics of fresh pumpkin slices and those pre-treated by applying an edible pectin coating or ...

In this investigation, the air drying characteristics of fresh and osmotically pre-treated pineapple slices in a tray dryer were studied under different operating conditions. The air velocity varied from 1.5 to 2.5 m/s and ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of log steaming and steaming prior to drying singly and both treatments together on the drying behavior and decay resistance of Hevea brasiliensis wood (rubberwood). ...

Magnolia ovata seeds have been reported as desiccation sensitive. In order to test if the drying rate would affect the assessment of storage behaviour of these seeds, the effect of different drying rates and storage times ...

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. ...
