| This research was carried out to determine some physical, mechanical, mineral and proximate properties of miracle berry fruits (Synsepalum dulcificum L.) in the moisture range of 6.45− 9.73% (db). Physical properties including bulk density and terminal velocity were determined using standard methods. Mechanical properties including stiffness and deformation were determined using quasi-static compression analysis. Proximate and mineral compositions of the fruit including crude protein and calcium contents were determined using standard analytical methods. Results showed that the terminal velocity, stiffness, crude protein, calcium contents decreased generally with an increase in the moisture content (p < 0.05). The average values of the terminal... |

| Forced-air cooling in conjunction with ice can rapidly remove field heat of fresh horticultural produce, and enhance their preservation. In the current work, a forced-air cooling technique was developed, and the effect of the fan speeds (1200, 1350, and 1750 rev/min) on the cooling time, sensory properties and microstructure of three different cooled products (okra, tomato, and green bell pepper) were investigated using standard methods. The results within the experimental conditions showed that the forced-air cooling technique lowers the temperature faster, and significantly reduces the cooling time (p ≤ 0.05) of all the products when compared with the time of cooling under room cooling condition. The time of cooling the tomato from ambient (32oC) to... |

| A research was conducted to develop a single screw extruder from a locally available material for the mixing and homogenization of bulk solids, such as the composites of cassava and yam starch-glycerol with nanoparticles. The design was made by computing the hopper outlet size, shaft diameter, screw geometry, barrel volume and the capacity of the conveyor, empirically. The stresses in the conical section of the hopper were also evaluated to assess its load requirement, thus avoiding any problem associated with the flow of materials through the hopper opening. The extruder was dynamically simulated to assess its throughput at the feeding, compression and metering zones. This was done by investigating the dynamic effect of the time of operation, with respect... |
