Post-harvest characteristics of common beans influences its classification, which significantly affects processing time and energy requirements. In this work, ten bean cultivars were classified as either easy-to-cook (ETC) or hard-to-cook (HTC) based on a traditional subjective finger pressing test and a scientific objective hardness test. The hardness study used seed coat rigidity to explain the structural deformation observed during cooking. The result shows that the average hardness of raw dry ETC and HTC beans was 102.4 and 170.8 N, respectively. The maximum seed coat resistance is observed within the first 30 min of cooking regardless of the classification. The results show that a modified three-parameter non-linear regression model could accurately predict the rate of bean softening (R2 = 0.994–0.999 and RMSE = 3.3–14.7%). The influence of bean softeners such as potassium carbonate (K2CO3) and sodium chloride (NaCl) to reduce cooking time was also investigated. The results showed that the addition of K2CO3 to the cooking water significantly reduced the cooking time by up to 50% for ETC and 57% for HTC.

Carioca is the most important edible dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown in Brazil. It represents the largest dry bean market class in the world. The seed coat of carioca beans will darken under adverse harvest conditions and with the increasing of storage time. In general, darkened seeds are associated with older seeds that suffer from prolonged cooking times. A relatively new ‘slow darkening’ trait is available in carioca that delays seed coat darkening under storage. However, its effect on cooking time is unknown. The objective of this work was to evaluate two induction methods of seed coat darkening and to examine the effect of slow darkening trait on cooking time after storage. Lines derived from four segregating populations resulting from crossings between cultivar BRSMG Madrepérola with slow seed coat darkening, and the parents BRS Estilo, BRS Cometa, BRS Notável and BRS Sublime with normal darkening were evaluated. An experiment inlcuding 220 lines, 55 per population and the five parents, in a 15x15 triple lattice was conducted in the winter growing season in Brasilia. Seed coat darkening and cooking time traits were evaluated. Two methods for inducing seed coat darkening were compared: an accelerated aging test using UV light for 72 hours, and an extended storage for 90 days under ambient conditions. The correlation between the induction methods ranged from 0.77 to 0.85 for the different populations indicating either method could be used to discriminate lines with normal versus slow darkening trait. The percentage of light-colored grain lines was identified by both induction methods of seed coat darkening ranged from 75 to 85.7% in the populations. The genetic correlation between seed coat darkening and cooking time varied from -0.06 to -0.48, indicating that in some populations there is no significant genetic correlation between seed coat darkening and cooking time. Thus, light colored grains are not indicative of low cooking time, when they are considered genotypes with genetic variation for the seed coat darkening.

The possibilities of dissolving grade pulp production from reed were investigated in this paper. Two – stage prehydrolysis – kraft pulping and CEHA bleaching process of reed for preparation of dissolving grade pulp were studied in laboratory. The optimum cooking and bleaching conditions were found out. The mechanism and its kinetics of reed in prehydrolysis process were also discussed. The results showed that under the laboratory conditions the rate for removal of materials at about 175°C follow approximately a pseudo first order law with two distinct phrases: the bulk removal and the residual removal of the materials. The prehydrolysis-factor (P-factor) was established. The advantage of using P-factor is predict compensating adjustments in cooking time and/or temperature to give the same degree of pulping and to produce pulp with predetermined characteristics. It is found that three distinct delignification rate stages about 75% of pentosans and about 50% of lignin were removed. A CEHA four stage bleaching is used for dissolving grade pulp. Total chlorine charge in bleaching is 6% (to oven-dry pulp). The results show that all of the indices fitted the quality standards of dissolving grade pulp.

Superheater is a main part of boiler that serves as one of steam temperature riser after water evaporated by heat inside a boiler. The steam comes out from boiler drum, by utilizing hot air flowinside boiler. Superheater tube is a very important part of process inside the plant, with a high operating temperature of 540°C (in PLTU Teluk Sirih). Because of this, the tube will be maintained by inspection on each scheduled shutdown. Leakages often occur in platen tube of superheater, exactly at its bend or elbow tube. To know causes of the leakages of the part, we conducted observation analysis i.e., visual observation (metallographic testing), spectrometry and hardness test. From the metallographic test analysis, pearlite and ferrite phases present. At the leakage part, it could be observed the tube has lost much of pearlite phase caused by heating. Pearlite micro structure indicates hardness of a material. In spectrometry test of the leaked tube sample using ASTM SA213 T22 standard, value of carbon rises very high by 0.148 from normal value, 0.15 at maximum. We also obtained from it average hardness of 178 HB (ASTM standard). From analysis of the superheater platen tube, damage caused by abrasion of bad materials hit the tube and decreasing pearlite phase caused by temperature changes. Tiny parts of the tube that hit by steam fell eroded and over time the tube broken. Another thing we can conclude is burst of fire in boiler may cause thinning and tube leakage.

History shows the development of human thinking patterns that are more advanced in understanding, utilizing and further knowing the causes and results of the findings obtained. Humans find strong material, with complex phenomena and unknown compilation yet, but they have felt of great benefit. And with the development of knowledge, conventional and modern processes are carried out to achieve the goal. Namely with the methods carried out, managing the metal has a different impact than before, then the metals change physically and non-physically. This study aims to learn more about the relationship of metals treatment to hardness and the vibration that occurs in metal material that is disputed. This research uses experimental methods on materials with treatment and un-treatment to study the correlation, which is supported by the method of testing the hardness test and vibration test. The results show that increased strain on hardness and vibration patterns of metal have full or correlated. In this study, un-load raw materials was obtained an average hardness value of 52.28 HRB with an average vibration of 1.448 mm / s. While the specimen with tensile load obtained an average hardness of 52.34 HRB with an average vibration pattern of 1.7388 mm / s. These results show an increase in hardness of 0.115% and vibration of 20.028%, which is an increase in stretching effect. It can be concluded, however that increasing strain loads increase the hardness and vibration of low carbon steel equivalent ST-37.

The nutritional, cooking and technological properties of the Tepary bean (TB) cultivated in Mexican northeast comparing to two common beans varieties (Pinto Americano and Black Jamapa) were evaluated in this study. Nutritional parameters evaluated of TB resulted significantly different from common beans varieties analysed, except lipid fraction. Cooking times of soaked (4 and 8 h) and non-soaked varieties varied significantly; TB shows between 55.1–80.49 min by cooking time. The textural profile analysis (TPA) of TB showed a significant reduction of hardness, chewiness and adhesiveness in soaked compared to non-soaked. In addition, TB presented a similar behaviour to Pinto Americano in TPA non-soaked and cooked and soaked 8h and cooked, except to adhesiveness. Technological properties of TB and resistant and non-resistant starch content showed significant differences between species. Due to, TB has nutritional, cooking and technological properties comparable to other edible legumes as common bean, mainly Pinto Americano variety.
