Drying kinetics, water-soluble vitamins, total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant capacity (AC) of the jujube fruits dried at 50, 60, and 70°C, and degradation kinetics of the quality parameters were investigated. The models fitted to drying were determined as Page at 50 and 70°C, Parabolic at 60°C. Increment in the drying temperature increased the drying rate and decreased the drying time. Water-soluble vitamins, TPC, and AC were significantly reduced by the drying process. Degradation of water-soluble vitamins increased with the drying temperature, although TPC and AC were not significantly affected by temperature. Thermal degradations of quality parameters were fitted to first-order kinetic.

The preservation of perishable horseradish crop is essential to increase the shelf-life and supply year-round. Hot air-drying method is commercially viable for preserving fruits and vegetables. However, drying conditions such as drying temperature affect the drying kinetic and the final quality of dried products. It is necessary to understand how drying temperature and blanching affect the drying kinetics of horseradish for the prediction of the right drying conditions. The objective of this study was to investigate the hot air-drying kinetics by fitting commonly used five empirical models to establish right hot air-drying conditions for drying of horseradish. The unblanched (control, C) and blanched (B) horseradish slices were dried at 50, 70 and 85℃ until reaching to an equilibrium moisture content (db). The moisture reduction data were collected at certain intervals and the moisture content data were converted to moisture ratio (MR). The MR data were used to predict the drying kinetics of horseradish drying using five empirical models. The results indicated that drying kinetics followed the constant drying rate period and falling rate period for all three drying temperatures. The five tested models were able to predict the drying kinetics with R2 (0.96-0.99) and RMSE (0.01-0.06) depending on the models and blanching. However, diffusion approach model was the best fitted model securing the highest R2 and the lowest RMSE. The findings of this research are expected to be significantly important for horseradish drying effectively.

ABSTRACTThe evaporation of organic by-products released during drying of 1-mm thick silicon tetramethoxide gels was analyzed using gas chromatography. The evaporation kinetics of methanol depended on the drying rate achieved by flowing dry air over the gel. For drying at flow rates less than 50 cm 3/min, exponential kinetics were observed initially with a long time constant (about 100- to 400-min). For drying rates greater than 70 cm3/min, diffusional (t−1/2) kinetics were observed initially. Cracking of the gel during drying was used to indicate the degree of stress. At low drying rates, minor cracking was observed near the edges of the gel. At high flow rates, extensive cracking was observed in samples that exhibited early t−1/2 kinetics. Monitoring the kinetics of drying is essential to optimizing the drying conditions to minimize stress and cracking in gels.

This paper aims to present an experimental study of rough rice (BRSMG CONAI cultivar) drying by using a stationary method. The grain was dried in an oven with air mechanical movement under controlled conditions of velocity, temperature and relative humidity. In order to obtain balanced moisture content, the samples studied were kept at 40 and 70°C. Results of the drying and heating kinetics of the grain during the process are shown and analyzed. It was found that higher drying rate and lower time for drying as higher air temperature (70°C) is used. It can be concluded that the reduction of the moisture content of the grain, is considered very complex and, depending on the method and drying conditions, can substantially provokes breaking and cracks, which reduces final product quality.

Abstract The study of process kinetics may aid the design and optimization of drying systems. This paper evaluated the influence of drying temperature (40, 60 and 80 °C) on the moisture content, drying rate, density, shrinkage and breakage of maize dried in two different dryers: oven and silo dryer. In both dryers, the temperature increase reduced drying time, final moisture content and shrinkage of the grains, however increased breakage. Drying rate was higher in the oven (6.4×10−4±2.3×10−4s−1 versus 5.4×10−4±1.2×10−4s−1), while shrinkage (15.2±4.7 % versus 24.4±5.6 %) and density increase (16.6±5.9 % versus 33.4±5.8 %) were more intense in the silo. There was a large release of husk in the silo dryer and the moisture content was slightly smaller in the lower layers respective to the upper ones.

The study is aimed experimentally and compared with the theoretical results of drying kinetics of Nagpur orange fruit dried in a hot air electrical dryer. Orange fruit is highly perishable and needs to be consumed or processed immediately after harvest. Drying or dehydration is one of the most practical methods of preserving food products. Therefore, thin layer drying characteristics of falling rate of Nagpur orange are determined experimentally under different conditions of drying air temperatures, relative humidity and air velocities for different moisture contents. Thin layer models like Wang and Singh, Page and Henderson have been compared with Experimental results. The knowledge of drying kinetics helps for identification of exact drying time and air flow velocity for different moisture content. Here drying operation is carried out at a velocity of 1m/sec and 1.25 m/sec for different temperature of 55°C, 65°C and 75°C. This analysis reveals that drying temperature has a more significant effect on moisture removal while velocity has the least effect. Drying rate is found to increase with the increase in drying temperature and reduce with drying time. Experimental data is statistically correlated by plotting the drying characteristics curve. The analysis reveals that Wang and Singh's model is a better model to explain the drying behavior of Nagpur Orange fruit (R2=0.9888).

The study was concerned with the dehydration kinetics of aroids in mechanical dryer at different dryingcondition such as variable air dry bulb temperature and air velocity. Fresh aroids with 3, 5 mm slice and 8mm cube were used as raw materials for drying. The experimental results showed that drying rate constantand thickness can be expressed as power law equation. The exponent of the equation for aroids was 1.15indicating presence of significance external mass transfer resistance. Increasing loading density gavedecreased drying rate constant and when air velocity of dryer was increased, drying rate constant was alsoincreased, as higher air velocity reduces the external resistance to mass transfer and also highertemperature gave faster drying rate. The activation energy of diffusion of water from aroids during dryingas per Arrhenius equation was found to be 5.12 k cal/g-mole. The chemical compositions of fresh and driedaroids were determined and it was observed that all the constituent remained almost constant, only fatdecreased slightly possibly due to oxidation. Organoleptic taste testing showed that “chapatti” preparedfrom aroids powder (aroids powder: wheat flour = 1:4) were adjudged to be the best by the panelists using1-9 hedonic scale and ranked as like moderately securing score 7.3.Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.ChE 24 2006 19-24

Due to renewed interest in fruit residue application, cashew apple pomace and other fruit pomace are receiving unparallel attention as substitute for food ingredient or food enrichment options. This necessitates this study to investigate drying as vital approach in preserving and conditioning cashew apple pomace. In this study, cashew apple fruits were blended in fruit blender and filtered through 150 microns filter; the filtrate was further tightened in a fabric material and pressed with manual hydraulic press to further express the juice in it. The pomace was stored in a refrigerator at 3 ?C for 18 h to homogenise the moisture. The pomace was divided into nine equal weights, a portion was fed into hot air oven dryer at 60 ?C and constant circulating air velocity of 2.2 m/s, the changes in mass was measured using digital mass balance after every 10 minutes. The procedure was repeated at 70 and 80 ?C and in triplicate; in each case the mass of the samples was measured. It was found that cashew pomace dry under a single falling rate period, effective moisture diffusivity increased with increasing drying temperature and ranges from 9.02015?10-9 to 2.12177?10-8, activation energy was estimated as 41.880 kJ/K, specific drying energy consumption decreased with increasing drying temperature and ranges from 24.1 to 45.3 MJ/kg. Our proposed drying model was found to adequately simulate the drying kinetics of cashew apple pomace.
