Convective drying is an ancient technique to dry moist materials. Many experimental and
numerical studies on convective drying enriched the knowledge of researchers and …

The current investigation was devoted to determining some properties, such as physical
dimensions, surface area, sphericity, density, stiffness, and terminal velocity of cucumber …

Large quantities of pumpkins, rich in valuable nutrients, are lost due to superficial
imperfections or size variations. This study explores a solution: transforming this unused …

Drying of agricultural products inherently is an energy intensive process. In the majority of
drying processes, the energy for the air heating process is delivered by the steam, gas …

Yacón is a tuberous root from the Andean region, and a functional food due to the presence
of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). Due to its high moisture in natura, the product is prone to …

Water diffusivity is an important parameter for designing convective drying processes, as it is
instrumental for determining the rate at which moisture is removed from solid foodstuffs. Most …

Terminal velocity is an important factor, which is useful for designing different unit operations
such as hydro transport and sorting of fruits. The current investigation is aimed to propose a …

In this work, a mathematical model is proposed to simulate the Contact Vacuum Drying of
potato slices. Three temperatures were analyzed: 55, 65, and 75° C with three levels of …

La microestructura de los tejidos vegetales puede ser modificada mediante un
pretratamiento de calcio (Ca), esta modificación se relaciona con cambios en parámetros …
