| This study was designed to evaluate and model the impacts of processing parameters (steaming time, soaking time, paddy moisture content and soaking temperature) on the energy consumption of five rice varieties (NERICA 8, FARO 52, FARO 61, FARO 60 and FARO 44). Energy consumption in the cleaning, soaking, steaming, drying, dehusking, polishing and grading operations were estimated by fitting data on labour, fuel and electricity consumption, time and machine efficiency into standard equations to determine total energy consumption. The energy consumptions were separately modelled using Taguchi and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) techniques for each rice variety. The accuracy of models was determined using the coefficient of determination (R2) and Mean Square... |

| This study was aimed to develop a laboratory-scale gasoline food-grade magnetic hammer mill and to estimate the milling efficiency, milling yield, milling time, energy consumption and energy intensity of some selected food materials (soybean, rice and cassava flakes). The hopper, shaft, sieve and hammers of the gasoline food-grade magnetic hammer mill are made of stainless steel and the structural base is made of mild steel. The cost of developing the gasoline food-grade magnetic hammer mill was ₦ 149,000. Cassava flakes were observed to have the highest milling yield (940 g), lowest energy consumption (0.94 MJ), energy intensity (0.94 MJ/kg) and the highest milling efficiency (94 %) while soybean was observed to have the longest milling time (5.86 mins).... |
