ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to adjust mathematical models to the experimental data on the peanut kernels drying in thin layer, as well as to determine the effective diffusion coefficient and the main thermodynamic properties involved in drying of the grains under different air conditions. The peanut kernels, with a water content of 0.59 ± 0.002 (dry basis, d.b.), were dried in a forced air ventilation oven with different temperature levels (40, 50, 60 and 70 °C) until reaching a water content of 0.04 ± 0.001 (d.b.). For the experimental data, eight mathematical models traditionally used to represent the drying kinetics of thin layer of agricultural products were adjusted, also being determined the effective diffusion coefficient and the... |

ABSTRACT This study assessed the fitting of mathematical models to the convective drying kinetics of osmotically pre-dehydrated papaya cubes. Papaya cubes were subjected to osmotic dehydration in sucrose solutions at 40 and 50 ºBrix, at temperatures of 50 and 60 ºC, followed by complementary convective drying in forced air circulation oven under three temperatures (50, 60 and 70 °C) and constant air velocity of 1.0 m s-1. Ten thin-layer drying mathematical models were fitted to the experimental data. The increase in air temperature and the decrease in osmotic solution concentration resulted in increased water removal rate. Based on the statistical indices, the Two Terms model was the one that best described the drying kinetics of the samples for all... |

The effects of water: shrimp ratio and xanthan gum (XG) concentration on characteristics of shrimp foam were investigated. Foams were prepared from shrimp puree by adding several xanthan gum concentrations (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 % w/w), water: shrimp ratios (2:1, 3.5:1, 5:1 w/w) and whipped for five minutes. Incorporation of 0.2% w/w XG with 3.5:1 w/w water: shrimp ratio was selected because of having better characteristics of produced foams and then dried at 50, 60 and 70°C. Results showed that stability and density of foam increased with increasing xanthan gum concentration. However, increasing water : shrimp ratio caused to decrease in stability and density of foam. As the temperature increased from 50 to 70°C, the drying time decreased to 55 minutes.... |

The drying process of turnip and drying rate curves were investigated at different temperatures (55, 70 and 85°C) with air flow rate of 1.5 m/s. Also effective diffusion coefficient and activation energy were calculated by using Arrhenius equation and Fick’s second law for infinite slab. The effective diffusivity varied between 5.471×10-10 and 8.966×10-10 in the range of (55°C to 85°C). The value of activation energy was found to be 16.013 kJ/mol. The mathematical models (Newton, Page, Modified Page, Henderson and Pabis, Logarithmic, Two term, Two term exponential, Wang and Singh, Simplified Fick’s diffusion, Modified Page –II, Verma, Midilli–Kucuk, Hii, Law and Cloke, Approximation of diffusion, Modified Henderson and Pabis) were fitted to the... |
