The convective drying of fruits is the most implemented drying technique to stabilize fruits
and to increase their shelf life. The mathematical modelling of drying is a useful tool in …

Background Understanding the mechanisms underlying the drying processes has a critical
role in dehydration of food and agricultural products. Advanced computer modeling and …

This study aimed at investigating the performances of air drying of blackberries assisted by
airborne ultrasound and contact ultrasound. The drying experiments were conducted in a …

Drying is a complex process involving simultaneous heat and mass exchanges, and it is
considered one of the oldest unit operations performed for preserving agricultural products …

The objective of this paper is to model a natural convection mix-mode solar dryer
(NCMMSD) for drying agricultural products in an environment with short sunshine duration …

Drying is a main process of conservation used for cocoa beans and it is so essential to
control its drying parameters. In this study, shrinkage, density, porosity, and heat and mass …

Industrial drying is one of the most energy intensive unit operations encountered in most
industrial sectors. Therefore, much effort has been devoted to energy savings in drying. Most …

Food materials with high moisture content were prone to occur drying shrinkage-deformation
during dying process. In-depth understanding of drying shrinkage-deformation mechanism …

Pretreatments of either water blanching or NaCl immersion and airborne ultrasound-
assisted air drying were combined to dehydrate apple slices. The drying time was found to …

In the present study, moisture content evolution of cylindrical quince slices during convective
drying was modelled by using artificial neural networks (ANN). Quince slices with an …
