the effects of drying method and prediction of the essential oil contents of two thyme genuses (thymus vulgaris and zataria multiflora) were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (sem). t. vulgaris was dried at 30°c under controlled conditions while z. multiflora dried through traditional method and at 50-70°c. in the middle and edge of z. multiflora leaves, 18.4 and 14.9% of glands w...

a thin layer solar drying method was compared with a traditional method (sun drying) of paddy drying, with their effects on quality characteristics of two varieties of iranian rice (kamphiroozi and sazandegi) studied. solar drying process was conducted in a passive, mixed mode type solar dryer at about 50ºc for 90 minutes. in sun drying method this process took 8-10 hours at a mean temperature ...

Dynamic laser speckle (DLS) is used as a reliable sensor of activity for all types of materials. Traditional applications are based on high-rate captures (usually greater than 10 frames-per-second, fps). Even for drying processes in conservation treatments, where there is a high level of activity in the first moments after the application and slower activity after some minutes or hours, the pro...

Dynamic laser speckle is applied as a reliable sensor of activity in all sort of material. 1 Traditional applications are based on a time rate that is usually higher than 10 frames-per-second 2 (FPS). Even in drying processes, where there is a high activity in the first moments after the painting 3 and a slow activity after some minutes or hours, the process is based on the acquisition of image...
