introduction: one of the most important aspects of food preservation is controlling the moisture of material such as fruits.dryingis considered as important method to controlbacteriasafely using reduction of moisture. the hot air drying method has been widely adopted in manufacturing of conventional dried food.nowadays, infrared radiation (ir) has significant advantages over conventional drying...

many parameters affect essential oil yield and chemical composition of aromatic plants. for obtaining the highest quantity and quality of essential oil, it is necessary to know the proper methods of drying and distillation. the aim of this research was to investigate the influence of drying and extraction methods on the yield and chemical composition of the essential oil of eucalyptus sargentii...

Abstract This study aimed to examine intra-individual differences in both duration and passage of time (PoT) judgments, the relationships between them, for a wide range durations going from few hundred milliseconds several minutes. Participants performed with within-subjects design (200–400 ms), seconds (2–4 s), tens (20–40 s) minutes min) ranges. For results revealed individual temporal accura...

drying characteristics of green pea (pisum satium) with an initial moisture content of 76% (db) was studied in a fluidized bed dryer assisted by microwave heating. four drying air temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60ºc) and five microwave powers (180, 360, 540, 720 and 900w) were adopted. several experiments were conducted to obtain data for sample moisture content versus drying time. the results sh...

Background & Aim: The genus Echinacea (family Asteraceae), commonly known as purple coneflower, is an important medicinal plant that has been used for centuries, customarily as a treatment for the common cold, coughs, bronchitis, upper respiratory infections, and some inflammatory conditions . The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of six different methods of ...

objective: button mushrooms (agaricus bisporus) are among the most widely produced and consumed mushrooms in the world. generally speaking, mushrooms are of great nutritional value, which due to their high content of moisture and their corruptibility particular attention is required to be paid to their conservation and health. drying is one of the most important ways to preserve the yields with...

in this paper, experimental data on the drying kinetics of corn in a packed and fluidized bed are presented. experimental research was conducted on a laboratory apparatus. corn was used as a material because of its significance in agriculture and the food industry. an analysis of the influence of the operational parameters (the drying medium velocity i. e. the fluidization number, the drying me...

Synopsis: This study presents the experimental results on properties of concrete with replacement of natural aggregate by recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). Experimental data on the creep behavior of concrete mixtures (basic and drying creep) was obtained. The replacement factor of natural aggregate by RCA were 0%, 15%, 30%, 60% and 100%, and the test conditions were 50% RH and 20°C. The result...
