This study was performed to determine the most appropriate thin layer drying model and the
effective moisture diffusivity of rapeseed. The thin layer drying tests were conducted at three …

Canola seed needs to be dried to minimize damage during subsequent unit operations. In
order to optimize the drying and storage processes of seeds it is necessary to know the …

In this study, drying characteristics of canola seeds were determined using heated ambient
air at 40, 50 and 60° C, relative humidity of 20, 40 and 60% and constant velocity of 3 m/s …

Biotic and abiotic factors interact to damage grains in the storage ecosystem. Monitoring
temperature fluctuations and moisture migration is crucial to control their impact on grain …

Hemp cultivation faces challenges due to the adoption of dioecious cultivars, which suffer
from biomass loss and fibre heterogeneity. In contrast, monoecious cultivars offer …

Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) is widely recognized as a highly nutritious
animal feed ingredient. With the exponential growth of the fuel ethanol industry in the past …

Mathematical modeling for rapeseed drying on concurrent-flow dryer was built based on
energy and mass transfer balances. The fourth-order Runge–Kutta method was used for …

Canada produced 33,750 tonnes of hemp seed over 2013-2015 on approximately 36,500
hectares in the prairie provinces. The Canadian grain industry lacks a specific guideline for …

The effects of storage temperature and duration on phytosterol, tocopherol and carotenoid
concentrations are assessed in canola seed, and oil extracted using two different …

In this study, computer simulations were conducted to assess the use of a circulating
concurrent-flow dryer for rapeseed drying and to determined the effect of this drying method …
