Six mature wethers (BW 72 kg) with ruminal, duodenal, and ileal cannulas were fed a basal (no added soybean meal [SBM]) diet or diets containing unheated SBM or SBM roasted at 165 degrees C for 75, 150, 180 or 210 min in a 6 x 6 Latin square experiment. Concentrations of indicators of heat exposure (NDF, ADF, and ADIN) in SBM increased with increasing roasting time. Organic matter digestion cha...

Cracking sounds emitted by coffee beans during the roasting process were recorded and analyzed to investigate the potential of using the sounds as the basis for an automated roast monitoring technique. Three parameters were found that could be exploited. Near the end of the roasting process, sounds known as "first crack" exhibit a higher acoustic amplitude than sounds emitted later, known as "s...

Cocoa beans are the basic raw material for the production of chocolate and other chocolate products. To obtain these products, the seeds must be subjected to a complicated technological process in which one of the key steps is roasting. A widely used method of roasting cocoa beans is convection roasting which is based on subjecting the raw beans to a flow of hot air in the temperature range bet...

More than 80% of the world’s production of zinc from its concentrate is obtained by the roastleach-electrowin hydrometallurgical process. In the roast-leach process, very pure zinc sulphate solution must be prepared for zinc electrowinning, therefore, the purification process is one of the most important unit processes in zinc hydrometallurgy. The conventional methods for the zinc solution puri...

An economic and effective strategy synchronously utilizing blast furnace bag dust (BF-BD) converter-removing (C-RD) by carbothermic reduction roasting is reported to achieve separation recovery of iron zinc. In this paper, the effect operating parameters on rate remove Fe Zn from BD GD was initially studied synergetic reduction. The optimized include a temperature pf 1200 °C, time 90 min, FC/O ...

in this study, vanadium recovery from the steelmaking converter slag was studied. salt roasting-basic leaching is the process which was applied to separate and extract vanadium from steel making slag. ground slag was roasted after mixing with determined quantities of sodium carbonate. the effect of time and temperature of roasting and sodium carbonate content were studied. the optimum temperatu...

Recently described scientific literature has identified the airborne presence of 2,3-butanedione (diacetyl) and 2,3-pentanedione at concentrations approaching or potentially exceeding the current American Conference of Industrial Hygienists' (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) at commercial coffee roasting and production facilities. Newly established National Institutes of Occupational Safety...

Cocoa seeds were roasted at 120oC for 10 and 20 minutes were ground to a fine paste to obtain cocoa liquor. Cocoa fudge samples were prepared using the prepared liquor cocoa butter, sugar and lecithin. The two samples were analyzed for their physicochemical and sensory properties. The results of the study reveal that the roasting duration has a significant influence on both the properties. An i...

A 2D mathematical model of coupled heat and mass transfer describing oven roasting of meat was formulated from first principles. The current formulation of model equations incorporates the effect of shrinkage phenomena and water holding capacity. The model equations are based on conservation of mass and energy. The pressure driven transport of water in meat is expressed using Darcy’s equation. ...
