The influence of different cooking regimes such as boiling, oven, microwave and hot-air drying on the retention of total phenolics (TP), total carotenoids (TC) and in vitro antioxidant capacity (AC) for three colored arracacha roots was studied. Continuous losses of TP, TC and AC during the course of the different cooking processes were observed. Boiling at 99.5° C for 20 min turned to be the best method to cook this root due to a high retention of TP, TC and AC in comparison to oven cooking at 200° C for 45 min and microwave cooking at 800 W for 5 min. During boiling, chlorogenic and caffeic acids and derivatives remained relatively stable. The drying temperature was negatively correlated to the residual content of TP and AC for the yellow and cream arracacha roots, but for the cream/purple arracacha variety, blanching preserved the TP and AC. Significant losses in chlorogenic and caffeic acids and derivatives were mainly observed during hot-air drying. These results suggested that TP are responsible to a large extent of the AC displayed by arracacha root during the different evaluated cooking regimes.

Abstract The heat transfer characteristics and kinetics of Camellia oleifera seeds under hot-air drying were investigated at different temperatures (40, 60, and 80 °C) and loading densities (0.92, 1.22, and 1.52 g/cm2) with a constant air velocity of 1 m/s. Twelve common drying kinetic models were selected to fit the experimental data. The most suitable model was chosen to describe the hot-air drying process of C. oleifera seeds and help in its optimization. The results showed that the drying temperature has a significant influence on the hot-air drying characteristics of C. oleifera seeds. As the drying air temperature increases, the drying time decreases. The effect of the loading density on the drying characteristics of C. oleifera seeds is much smaller than that of temperature. With the increase in the loading density, the drying time slightly increases. The hot-air drying curve of C. oleifera seeds consists of a very short acceleration rate period at the beginning and a long falling rate period, indicating that the drying of C. oleifera seeds is mainly controlled by the diffusion of moisture inside the material. An effective moisture diffusion coefficient of C. oleifera seeds was estimated to range from 0.81256 × 10−9 to 3.28496 × 10−9 m2/s within the temperature range studied. The average activation energy was 28.27979 kJ/mol. The logarithmic model was found to be the best model to describe the kinetics of hot-air drying of C. oleifera seeds.

This study investigated the drying kinetics of the natural rubber sheets under hot air drying, with various heat sources, and included modeling of the kinetics. The heat was generated by combustion, either of charcoal briquettes from coconut shell (biomass) or of liquid petroleum gas (LPG). The hot air entering the drying chamber had its initial temperature controlled at 40, 50, or 60 Centigrade. Five rubber sheets within the chamber were observed during their drying. Howerver, in the case of biomass, the fuctuation of temperature due to charcoal adding. Therfore, the non-linear regression analysis was performed only LPG data with a Weibull distribution and a Modified Handerson and Pabis. They represented the drying kinetics with parametric fits; moreover, an effective diffusion coefficient was determined for each experimental condition.

In this study, we are interested in a thermo-physic characterisation during hot air drying of one food product: the potato. The drying kinetics of potato slices are determined at three temperatures and three air velocities. The evolution of the density and the material shrinkage are determined and commented. We finish with the equilibrium moisture relations for the product. From experimental data, we have modeled the desorption isotherms using the GAB model. From the results, we notice that this model perfectly describes the measures with correlation factors superior to 97%. A thermodynamic analysis of isotherms has been made: the heat of sorption is calculated; the entropy of sorption has also been determined and has been commented.
