Deveci pear (Pyrus communis L. cv. Deveci) slices, whose initial moisture content is 5.24 ± 0.003 kgsu kgKM-1 (%83.95 ± 0.01 w.b), were dried by shade drying and hot-air drying at 60, 80 and 100°C until the final moisture reached 0.13 ± 0.001 kgsu kgKM-1 (%11.40 ± 0.06 w.b), and the drying processes of these methods were completed in 11150, 437, 252, and 148 minutes, respectively. In the study, experimentally obtained time-dependent moisture ratios were modeled using twenty different thin-layer drying equations. Accordingly, the model that gives the closest results to experimental data for 60°C and 100°C was the Modified Henderson & Pabis's equation. On the other hand, Alibas equation and Jena & Das equation were found to be the best models in shade drying and hot-air drying at 80°C, respectively. Despite no energy consumption in the shade drying method, some reasons such as this method being quite long and causing negative effects on the quality parameters of the product revealed that the shade drying method was not suitable for drying of Deveci pear. It was observed that total energy consumption increased with the increase of the drying temperature. Also, it was determined that the increase in temperature negatively affected the quality parameters. It was found to be a suitable method for drying the Deveci pear of the hot-air drying at 60°C due to the operating parameters such as drying time and specific energy consumption, as well as quality parameters such as brightness, redness, yellowness, chroma, hue angle, total color change and browning index were very close to the fresh product.

The horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) is an important crop as ingredients for many commercial food products and medicinal uses. However, the horseradish is perishable and preservation of this crop for supplying year-round is necessary. Drying can be used to preserve the horseradish but establishing a suitable drying method and conditions are important for product quality of dried horseradish. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of hot air-drying temperatures on the physicochemical and textural properties of dried horseradish samples to determine the appropriate hot air-drying conditions. The sliced horseradish samples were dried at 55, 65, 75, 85 and 95 ℃ using a conventional hot air drier. The physicochemical and textural properties of the dried horseradish samples were determined, and the results were compared for different drying temperatures. The ANOVA analysis indicated that the drying temperature affected the physicochemical and textural properties of dried horseradish samples significantly (p<0.05). The experimental results indicated that the moisture content (9.18-6.15%,wb), aw (0.06-0.03), porosity (31.47-12.13%) and rehydration ratio (82.74 -44.47%) decreased and piece density (0.63-0.84 g/mL), hardness (193.63 -298.31N), cohesiveness (1.04-1.32), gumminess (202.13-390.12) and chewiness (635.08-1223.55) of dried horseradish samples increased with the drying temperature. Power law model indicated that the porosity was linearly corelated to the rehydration ratio of dried horseradish samples. The overall results revealed that relatively lower (55-65 ℃) drying temperature range was suitable to keep the quality of the dried horseradish samples. The findings of this study are expected to be helpful for the commercial drying of horseradish samples using hot air-drying method.

AbstractThe aim of this study is to find a better drying method to replace conventional hot air drying (HAD) in terms of faster, energy efficient and better product quality. Two alternative drying techniques, microwave combined with hot air drying (MHD) and microwave vacuum drying (MVD), are compared in this study to dry peeled and destoned longan fruit. Both MHD and MVD reduced the drying time up to 48 % and energy consumption as compared to HAD. These techniques provided lower product redness, yellowness and shrinkage but higher lightness and porous structure as compared to HAD. MVD reduced hardness and toughness of the dried product. MHD provided the highest preference score in terms of colour and shape and was as acceptable as the commercial product dried by HAD. MHD is the most suitable method for longan drying.

The objective of this research was to comparatively investigate the effect of hot air drying (HA) and hybrid microwave-infrared drying (MI) on physico-chemical characteristics of Thai fermented fish viscera, Tai-Pla, curry powder (TCP). HA was carried out at 60°C, 70°C, and 80°C and MI was carried out at a microwave power of 740, 780, and 810 W with a constant infrared heating power (500 W) for different drying times to obtain the final moisture content ≤ 12.0% and the water activity (aw) ≤ 0.6. The quality characteristics of TCP were governed by HA temperature and MI output power. TCP dried using HA and MI at all conditions had similar contents of protein, lipid, ash, fiber, and carbohydrate (p>0.05). The fastest drying rate was detected when MI at 810 W for 40 min was applied (p<0.05). In this condition, TCP had the lowest browning index (A294 and A420) and the highest lightness (L* value) (p<0.05). TCP dried with MI at all powers had higher phenolic content and lower TBARS compared to HA (p<0.05). However, no significant differences in DPPH• scavenging activity were observed among TPC made by HA and MI (p>0.05). Similar Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra with different peak intensities were observed in all samples, indicating the same functional groups with different contents were found. The bulk density of all TCP ranged from 0.51 g/mL to 0.61 g/mL and the wettability ranged from 24.02% to 26.70%. MI at 810 W for 40 min effectively reduced the drying time (5-fold faster) and lowered the specific energy consumption (18-fold lower) compared to the HA at 60°C for 210 min. Therefore, MI is a promising drying technique to reduce the drying time and improve the overall quality of TCP.

Abstract In the present study, banana slices were dried and compared using electrohydrodynamic (EHD) drying method at 4.5, 6.5, and 8.5 kV/cm; oven at 50, 60, and 70°C; and hot-air drying at 50, 60, and 70°C at a constant air velocity of 1.5 m/s. ANOVA showed that drying method had a significant effect on drying time, rehydration capacity, shrinkage, color features (L*, a*, b*, and ∆E), and consumed energy. The values of consuming energy for EHD at 8.5 kV/cm, oven, and hot-air drying at 70°C were 2.99, 20.9, and 81.7 kJ/g run on full capacity of each dryer, respectively. Oven drying led to a greater color change than did hot-air. No significant difference was observed between the color change feature ∆E for EHD and hot-air dried samples in the orthogonal contrast analysis. The falling rate period for EHD moisture movement showed that diffusion was describing the moisture gradients and the internal moisture transfer was dominant. EHD is not fast; however, its advantages like less energy needed, lower shrinkage, and great rehydration capacity make it a good choice for combining with other convection drying methods.

Abstract The drying characteristics and volume changes of scarlet runner beans were measured under various conditions to obtain useful basic information for the optimum drying method and conditions. The sample was dried using two drying methods: hot air drying and vacuum drying. The measured changes in moisture content of the sample with the hot air drying process were in good agreement with the exact solution of the infinite plane sheet model. The estimated diffusion coefficients were 3.8×10 -7 -7.4×10 -7 (m 2 h -1) for hot air drying and were related to absolute temperature by an Arrhenius-type equation. The hull of the scarlet runner bean is hard and thick, and the drying rate of the sample was much slower than that of other beans. To establish an efficient drying method without the quality loss, the vacuum drying characteristics of the sample were measured at several levels for temperature and initial moisture content. For the vacuum drying process, an exponential model could be used to estimate the changes in moisture content of the sample. The values of diffusion coefficient for vacuum drying were approximately twice as much as the values of diffusion coefficient for hot air drying at the same temperature. The effects of drying method, temperature, and initial moisture content on the sample quality were investigated, and the optimum drying method and conditions for scarlet runner beans were proposed. Volumetric changes in the sample were determined by measuring particle density. The specific volume of the sample was represented as a linear function of moisture content.

In this study, the influences of various pre-treatments and combined drying (CD) on the drying kinetics and quality parameters of sour cherry were investigated. Prior to freeze drying (FD), sour cherry was pre-treated by blanching in boiling water (100 °C, 3 and 6 min), immersion in sugar solution (20% w/w, 10 and 20 min) and blanching (100 °C) in sugar solution (20% w/w, 3 and 6 min). Freeze-drying of raw samples was taken as a control. Combined drying (CD) can be accomplished in two distinct ways: freeze drying assisted with hot-air drying application (FD-HAD) and hot-air drying followed by freeze drying (HAD-FD). The quality of the dried sour cherry was evaluated in terms of water activity, color, texture and rehydration. Our research results have shown that all of the pre-treatments can effectively reduce the freeze drying time, the best treatment methods are FD-HAD, HAD-FD and blanching in boiling water (6 min). CD involves much less drying time and energy consumption than conventional freeze drying methods. The highest values of hardness and rehydration were found in blanching in sugar solution with water at 100 °C for 6 min. The better color retention was observed for samples pre-treated with blanching in boiling water (6 min).

Dried vegetables are considered convenient for storage, transportation and preservation. The different drying techniques could influence the quality of resulting products. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of three distinguish drying methods as hot-air drying, foam-mat drying and microwave drying on the color retention and chlorophyll of green vegetables powder. Fresh spinach(Spinacia oleraceaL.), celery (Apium graveolensL.), Malabar spinach (Basella albaL.) were dried by different methods: hot air at 60oC, foam-mat at 60oC and microwave at 270 W until the samples reached approximately 9% of moisture content (wb). The drying time of the dried samples by microwave, foam-mat and hot-air method were 60, 210 and 240 min, respectively. Foam-mat dried vegetables were found to have the best quality in terms of color and the residual chlorophyll content. The findings suggest that foam-mat drying is promising in dried vegetable processing

In this study, freeze vacuum drying (FVD), hot air drying (AD), and FVD combined with AD (FVD-AD) were used to dry kiwifruits. Dried products were analyzed comprehensively on their sensory quality, active components, moisture mobility, odors, and microstructure. Results showed that the FVD-AD saved time by 38.22% compared with FVD while maintaining an acceptable product quality. The antioxidant properties of FVD-AD were lower than those of FVD but significantly higher than those of AD. Moreover, compared with FVD products, FVD-AD products were moderately hard (5252.71 ± 33.53 g) and improved in color, bound water, and microstructure. Additionally, FVD-AD consumed lesser drying time and energy than FD. According to cluster analysis, the odors of FVD-AD products were similar to those of the fresh ones. Principal component analysis of physicochemical and drying cost indicated that FVD-AD was a promising processing technique for functional kiwifruit snacks.
