Moisture diffusion and shrinkage characteristics of broad bean during low-temperature vacuum drying

Vacuum Drying Characteristics of Some Vegetables

In this research the drying of four kinds of vegetables was investigated in a vacuum dryer. The effect of temperature on drying rate of samples at various temperatures (30, 35 and 45 °C) was studied. Six thin-layer drying models were fitted to drying data and suitable model was selected from them. Then effective moisture diffusivity and ...

Low temperature vacuum drying – gentle on bacteria and the environment

Effect of Time and Temperature on Moisture Content, Shrinkage, and Rehydration of Dried Onion

In this paper, the experimental data of the onion drying process by a batch cabinet dryer is investigated. Obtained experimental...

Vacuum Drying Characteristics of Salicornia herbacea L

Vacuum drying of Salicornia herbacea L. was performed at different drying temperatures (50, 60, 70, and 80°C) to evaluate the drying characteristics and the effect of drying temperatures on the quality of Salicornia. As the drying temperature increased, the drying time decreased significantly (P< 0.05). The drying rate decreased with decrease in moisture content and increase in drying time. On ...
