Increased interest manifested by consumers in products rich in biologically active
components makes it necessary to minimize their loss during drying and storage of raw …

In most years and in most countries grain is dried to safe storage moisture content using
different drying systems, ie natural air drying, near-ambient (low temperature) drying, high …

Western Canada. Canadian Biosystems Engineering/Le génie des biosystèmes au Canada
56: 3.25-3.36. Grains (common term referring to cereal grains, oilseeds, pulses) are usually …

Environmental microbiologists frequently use ergosterol, a fungal-specific membrane lipid,
as an indicator of fungal infection in grain and other plant materials. Microbiological loading …

There is a critical need to determine conditions of natural air, in-bin drying that maintain
quality of dried rice. In this study, simulations were performed to determine the effects of …

A method was developed for the automatic endpoint determination of near-ambient barley
drying in static deep beds, based on a correlation to infer grain moisture content of the top …

Primary agricultural production is closely interwoven in the web of scientific and political
climatechange discussion. Not only are both of its sub-sectors (plant production and animal …

The high-temperature continuous-flow dryer is the prevalent dryer type in the major grain-
producing countries. The choice of a particular model is frequently based on the initial cost …

Computer simulation was used to explore options for varying airflow in the control of near-
ambient drying of wheat in the Canadian prairies. Earlier work had identified that the best …

ABSTRACT A stochastic analytical model was developed to describe the mass transfer in a
thin layer of grain ventilated with unheated air. As an excitation to the drying system, a …
