rice is one of the most widely human consumed agricultural products. for a prevention or diminishing of rice cracking in its milling process, precision control of drying conditions is indispensable. in this research, a thin layer experimental dryer is employed to obtain paddy’s drying kinetics. drying experiments were conducted at five inlet temperatures of drying air of 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 °...

many research studies have been performed on forced convection (active) solar dryers for fruit and vegetables. a short survey of these showed that applying the forced convection solar dryer not only significantly reduced the drying time but also resulted in many improvements in the quality of the dried products. active indirect and mixed-mode thin layer solar drying experiments were conducted o...

AIMS To use a MS2 bacteriophage model to compare three hand-drying methods, paper towels (PT), a warm air dryer (WAD) and a jet air dryer (JAD), for their potential to disperse viruses and contaminate the immediate environment during use. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants washed their gloved hands with a suspension of MS2 bacteriophage and hands were dried with one of the three hand-drying dev...

Indonesia memiliki potensi besar dalam pemanfaatan sumberdaya non hayati laut. Salah satu tersebut ialah garam Kepulauan dipengaruhi oleh iklim basah akibat curah hujan yang menyebabkan kegiatan penambangan dari laut untuk kebutuhan konsumsi kandungan kemurnian NaCl di bawah standar industri. Namun, terdapat Magnesium Hidroksida Mg(OH)2 dapat diekstrasi sebagai nilai tambah produksi indonesia. ...

Application of tray dryer is widely used in agricultural drying because of its simple design and capability to dry products at high volume. However, the greatest drawback of the tray dryer is uneven drying because of poor airflow distribution in the drying chamber. Implementing the proper design of a tray dryer system may eliminate or reduce non-uniformity of drying and increases dryer efficien...

This paper presents the design, construction of an IoT greenhouse solar dryer for semi-dried jerky. In dryer, heated air is controlled automatically by based system, and at same time, absorbs energy directly through polycarbonate transparent walls roof. The results showed that was a good jerky after drying into ensured food safety with non-detected total aerobic organisms, heavy metal, bacteria...

garlic (allium sativuml.) is one of the most important allium spice. from an economic point of view, the dried garlic slices are valuable products. in this research, garlic slices as a thin layer were dried in a laboratory scale hot-air dryer, under air flow of 1.5 m/s, air temperatures of 50, 60 and 70˚c and slice thicknesses of 2, 3 and 4 mm. the mean values of shrinkage of garlic slices obta...
