<span>The catch of fish is so large and often not completely sold, causing the to be wasted for free. This situation even indirectly causes environmental pollution around area where fishermen live. To overcome this problem, a drying machine was made using PV system. tool also form solving problem traditional process which sometimes clean, safe, depends on direct sunlight. system can meet ...

BACKGROUND The current typical drying methods for red ginseng are sun drying and hot-air drying. The purpose of this study was to investigate drying characteristics of red ginseng by using far-infrared drying. METHODS The far-infrared drying tests on red ginseng were conducted at two drying stages: (1) high temperature for 24 h drying and (2) low temperature drying until the final moisture co...

The influence of ripening conditions (traditional and industrial) on oxidative and sensory stability of dry fermented sausage (Petrovská klobása), during 7 months of storage, was investigated. During the storage period the content of free fatty acids was significantly higher (P<0.05), while the content of malondialdehyde was significantly lower in the sausage subjected to traditional conditions...

sludge production is an avoidable problem arising from the treatment of wastewater. the sludge remained after municipal wastewater treatment contains considerable amounts of various contaminants and if is not properly handled and disposed, it may produce extensive health hazards. on the other hand, this sludge has benefits for plants and soils. thereupon, land application of sludge has received...

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 ...

This study was done to evaluate the drying performance, efficiency, and effectiveness of five different types of improved low-cost solar driers in terms of moisture loss from two tropical African fish species Clarias gariepinus (African sharp tooth catfish) and Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) and testing the organoleptic characteristics of the dried samples. The driers used were made from ...

BACKGROUND Tripterygium wilfordii Radix, a well-known traditional medicine in china which is used for treatment of inflammation, pain, tumor and immune regulation for centuries in china, accompany with the serious toxic side effects. This study was carried out for simultaneously analyzing the four main components (triptolide, triptophenolide, demethylzeylasteral and celastrol) in Tripterygium w...

Solid lipid nanopaticles were developed in early 1990s as an alternative to other traditional colloidal carriers like liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles and emulsions as they have advantages like controlled drug release and targeted drug delivery with increased stability. This paper gives an overview about the potential advantages and also the disadvantages of solid lipid nanoparticles, the exc...

Kurozu (or Kurosu) is traditional Japanese black vinegar made by prolonged fermentation of unpolished rice that contains rice germ and rice bran [1]. While there are several preparation methods, one native to Kagoshima prefecture involves drying the fermented product in the sun for more than a year in earthenware jars. The liquid concentrate after drying is called Kurozu and the sediment at the...
