Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is an important tuber crop for the daily consumption. Efficient processing must be taken to reduce wastage, and to improve quality and extend shelf period of sweet potato products. Infrared (IR) drying has advantages of high drying rate, good uniformity, and high production efficiency. A laboratory infrared (IR) dryer was developed to study the drying performance of sweet potato slice and its technology optimization in this paper. Single-factor, orthogonal, and temperature-varying experiments of IR drying of sweet potato slice were conducted sequentially. Temperature, slice thickness and steaming time were defined as control factors, and effective moisture diffusivity (EMD), total color change (TCC), specific energy consumption (SEC) and drying time were defined as evaluation indexes. Same weights were applied to the synthetic evaluation index (SEI). Experiment results and statistical analysis showed that: temperature-varying IR drying technology of temperature-decrease mode, under drying conditions of 70ºC (75min) - 65ºC (to end), showed the best drying performance; the optimal combinations for temperature-constant were slice thickness 3 mm, temperature 70ºC, and steaming time 6 min; Midilli et al. model gave the best approximation to experimental data of moisture ratio, with coefficient of determination 0.99933, reduced Chi-square 0.00007, and root mean square error (RMSE) 0.00838; high temperature (75ºC) and large slice thickness (9 mm) were not suitable for IR drying of sweet potato slice. The results of this study can provide references for research on IR drying technology and design of IR dryer for sweet potato slice.

AbstractProcessing of purple sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) into chips is a means to improve the economic value. Crispiness is considered as one essential quality parameter for chip products that must be pursued. The thickness of slices and concentration of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) constitute crispiness defining factors. This research was aimed at conducting organoleptic evaluation on a variety of purple sweet potato slice thicknesses and post-frying sodium bicarbonate concentrations using Non-Numeric Multi Person-Multi Criteria Decision Making (MP-MCDM). Research results showed that the Non-Numeric MP-MCDM method had successfully determined decision of the best prioritized decision among different alternative treatments of the ingredient. The preferred decision according to respondent opinions on the basis of organoleptic evaluation including color, aroma, taste, texture and overall acceptance were products from the 3 g/L NaHCO3 concentration with 1 mm (KB) slice thickness and the 3 g/L NaHCO3 concentration with 2 mm (KE) slice thickness and respondents seemed to like (SK) those products.AbstrakPengolahan ubi jalar ungu (Ipomoea batatas L.) menjadi keripik merupakan salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan nilai ekonomi.

In this study, changes in the drying kinetics, color change, and the energy consumption for microwave energy were investigated for Trabzon persimmon. In addition to that, the microstructure of the persimmon was also investigated by considering its thermal changes. It is important to be aware of the purpose of the drying process for determining the drying system. Results of this research showed that 460 W for 7 mm slice thickness depending on energy consumption, 600 W for 5 mm slice thickness depending on drying time, and 600 W depending on color changes were found as suitable drying processes depending on drying conditions. The effective diffusion values varied between 2.97 × 10−8 m2 s−1 and 4.63 × 10−6 m2 s−1. The activation energy values for 5 mm, 7 mm and 9 mm slice thickness were estimated as 32.82, 18.64, and 12.80 W g−1, respectively. The drying time and energy consumption decreased, whereas drying rate increased with an increase in the microwave energy. The number of pores increased compared to structure of fresh sample, and the pores got to be larger for 5 mm slice thickness as the power level increased. Results showed that the applied microwave energy had an important effect on the heating of the material and the change in the microstructure.

For millennia, humans have used hundreds of medicinal plants to treat diseases. Currently, many species with important characteristics are known to alleviate a wide range of health problems, mainly in rural areas, where the use of these resources is very high, even replacing scientific medicine almost completely. This paper presents the dehydration of medicinal plants that are grown in the State of Campeche through direct and indirect solar technologies in order to evaluate the influence of air flow and temperature on the color of the final product through the L* a* scale. b*, analyzing the activity of water and humidity during the drying process. The experimental results showed that the direct solar dryer with forced convection presents a little significant color change in a drying time of 400 min on average, guaranteeing the null bacterial proliferation and reaching a final humidity between 9 % and 11 %.

AbstractTwo different drying methods were applied for dehydration of apple, i.e., convective drying (CD) and microwave drying (MD). The process of convective drying through divergent temperatures; 50, 60 and 70 °C at 1.0 m/s air velocity and three different levels of microwave power (90, 180, and 360 W) were studied. In the analysis of the performance of our approach on moisture ratio (MR) of apple slices, artificial neural networks (ANNs) was used to provide with a background for further discussion and evaluation. In order to evaluate the models mentioned in the literature, the Midilli et al. model was proper for dehydrating of apple slices in both MD and CD. The MD drying technology enhanced the drying rate when compared with CD drying significantly. Effective diffusivity (Deff) of moisture in CD drying (1.95 × 10−7–4.09 × 10−7 m2/s) was found to be lower than that observed in MD (2.94 × 10−7–8.21 × 10−7 m2/s). The activation energy (Ea) values of CD drying and MD drying were 122.28–125 kJ/mol and 14.01–15.03 W/g respectively. The MD had the lowest specific energy consumption (SEC) as compared to CD drying methods. According to ANN results, the best R2 values for prediction of MR in CD and MD were 0.9993 and 0.9991, respectively.
