ABSTRACT Microwave vacuum drying kinetics of three fruits (namely, apple, kiwi and pear) were studied by introducing an one-parameter empirical mass transfer model, involving a characteristic parameter (drying constant), as a function of process variables. The model was tested with data produced in a microwave oven equipped with vacuum apparatus, using non-linear regression analysis. The investigation involved a wide range of microwave power and vacuum pressure levels. The parameters of the model considered were found to be greatly affected by the microwave power level while vacuum pressure affected slightly the process. 相似文献

Drying kinetics of convective, vacuum, and microwave drying of a pharmaceutical product, chlorpropamide, has been investigated on a laboratory scale, in the temperature interval from 40°C to 60°C, and the range of microwave heating power from 154 W/kgdm to 385 W/kgdm.
The experimental data obtained were approximated with the “thin-layer” equation and a two parameter exponential model. In order to compare convective, vacuum, and microwave drying, effective diffusion coefficients and specific heat consumption were calculated for each drying method.
Higher rates and shorter drying times were achieved at a higher temperature and microwave heating power. The highest drying rates and the lowest specific heat consumption were achieved with microwave drying. This leads to the conclusion that microwave heating is the most appropriate method for drying of chlorpropamide. The quality of product was not changed for all applied methods. 相似文献

Abstract The effect of drying conditions on color changes of apple, banana, carrot and potato during conventional and vacuum drying was investigated. The Hunder color scale parameters redness, yellowness and lightness were used to estimate color changes during vacuum and conventional drying at 50, 70 and 90°C. Air humidity during conventional drying was regulated at 15, 30 and 40%. Air temperature and humidity affected redness and yellowness, but not lightness. A first order kinetic model was fitted to experimental data adequately for both redness and yellowness. The rate of color deterioration was found to increase as temperature increased and air humidity decreased, for both drying methods and all the examined materials. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate the osmotic drying kinetics of cylindrical slices of apples as influenced by particle size at different concentrations of sucrose solutions and different temperatures. Osmotic drying was carried out, with cut apple cylinders of three different sizes (12, 17 and 20mm diameter), all with a length to diameter ratio of 1:1, in a well agitated large tank containing the osmotic solution at the desired temperature. The solution to fruit volume ratio was kept greater than 60. A central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was used with dive levels of sucrose concentrations (34–63°Brix) and five temperatures (34–66°C). Kinetic parameters included weight loss, moisture loss, solids gain, rates of moisture loss and solids gain generally increased with increasing treatment time, temperature and concentration of osmotic solution, and decreased with an increase in sample size. The parameter “osmotic drying time to achieve a given moisture loss” obviously showed the opposite. Composite models were developed to describe the effect of process variables and particle size on the drying behavior of apple slices. 相似文献

The effect of microwave drying on moisture content, moisture ratio, drying rate, drying time, and effective moisture diffusivity of celery leaves (Apium graveolens) was investigated. By increasing the microwave output power from 180 to 900 W the drying time decreased from 34 to 8 min; by increasing the sample amount from 25 to 100 g, the drying time increased from 25 to 49 min. To determine the kinetic parameters, the drying data were fitted to various models based on the ratios of the differences between the initial and final moisture contents and equilibrium moisture content versus drying time. Among the models proposed, the semi-empirical Midilli et al. model gave a better fit for all drying conditions applied. The activation energy was calculated using an exponential expression based on the Arrhenius equation. The relationship between the drying rate constant and effective moisture diffusivity was also estimated and gave a linear relationship. 相似文献

Five conditions of the osmo-dehydration process of banana slices, which in our previous study underwent the most adequate color parameter changes. L, hue and chroma values were studied with the presence of chitin added to the syrup solutions at the concentration of 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5% w/w. After four hours of osmo-dehydration, color space results of L, a and b as well as polyphenol oxidase activity were measured. Color space results were used to calculate hue and chroma and total color difference changes. Chitin presence did not change the tendency of polyphenol activity decreased during osmotic drying as well as has not effect on chroma, hue and total color difference changes. Chitin presence had an effect on L value decrease in the inner and outer part of the slice, and these changes did not depend to osmotic dehydration conditions. It is highly recommended to use chitin during osmotic dehydration of some fruits that would undergo undesirable darkening. 相似文献

MOISTURE DIFFUSIVITY BEHAVIOR DURING FREEZE DRYING UNDER MICROWAVE HEATING POWER APPLICATION 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The necessary criteria for the design of a freeze-drying operation, where radiant and microwave heating are combined, are analyzed in this work. Microwave heating presents indubitable advantages for enhancing drying kinetics. Modifications of different value characteristics must be also considered. Different freeze-drying strategies using MW heating are analyzed taking into account kinetics and diffusivity behavior compared to a constant diffusivity model. A microwave on-off cycled strategy with simultaneous up-down modification of pressure was found an acceptable power regulation system when magnetrons, whose field strength exceeds the breakdown voltage of gas, are used. In this case, chamber pressure becomes a convenient control parameter to avoid plasma discharge and subsequent melting of product. Different evolutions of specific power inputs per gram were proposed depending on the size and disposition of the product. 相似文献

ABSTRACT The effect of drying method on bulk density, particle density, specific volume and porosity of banana, apple, carrot and potato at various moisture contents was investigated, using a large set of experimental measurements. Samples were dehydrated with five different drying methods: conventional, vacuum, microwave, freeze and osmotic drying. A simple mathematical model was used In order to correlate the above properties with the material moisture content. Four parameters with physical meaning were incorporated in the model: the enclosed water density pw, the dry solid density ps, the dry solid bulk density pbo and the volume shrinkage coefficient β'. The effect of drying method on the examined properties was taken into account through its effect on the corresponding parameters. Only, dry solid bulk density was dependent on both material and drying method. Freeze dried materials developed the highest porosity, whereas the lowest one was obtained using conventional air drying. 相似文献

Abstract The kinetics of combined convective and micro-wave drying presents universally more than the two habitual drying phases. Superimposed to a general heating of the product, a brutal and short acceleration of the drying rate raises all flux densities at a very important level. This is particularly evident with the class of product we used in this study : non porous polymeric gels. Moreover, an unusual correlation between the kinetics and the surface temperature around the micro-wave specific phase might appear : unexpectedly, the evaporation flux density decreases when the surface temperature increases noticeably. In order to elucidate this apparent complexity and understand the underlying physical phenomena, we analysed term by term all fluxes according to their origin. The splitting was achieved through mathematical modelling and partially validated by the recording of temperatures and mass fluxes. Usually with convective drying, all rate changes are governed by the state o f the product : hygroscopicity and porosity development. Here in the case of combined micro-wave drying, all accidents on the drying curves are determined by the heat generation and the heat transfer situation. The constant rate period is also governed by the balance of heat fluxes. The accelerated period corresponds to a heat wave arriving to the surface. Most of the time, the product gives out heat to the surrounding air : this heat is lost for the drying but this cooling effect may he used for the protection of the sample. 相似文献

COMBINED CONVECTIVE-MICROWAVE DRYING OF AGAR GELS: INFLUENCE OF MICROWAVE POWER ON DRYING KINETICS 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The use of microwave energy in the drying of deformable material such as gel considerably reduces drying time and enables the control of retraction in the sample. A further advantage is that no hot spots are produced, allowing a dry product of superior quality to be obtained.The aim of this work has been to determine the kinetics of the convective-microwave drying process of agar gel plates. For this purpose, we developed a pilot closed loop, computer-controlled apparatus of convective-microwave drying, that enables the drying air conditions to be changed and the microwave power to be supplied over a wide value range. The equipment also records the sample surface temperature by means of an infrared thermometer. The drying curves obtained for plane geometry present four different drying phases: an initial phase where a rapid increase in the drying rate and in the surface temperature can be observed, as well as a constant rate phase that ends in the so-called convective critical moisture content, a first falling rate phase that concludes in the microwave critical moisture point, and finally a second falling rate phase. Combined convective-microwave drying enables a considerable reduction in drying time compared to convective drying, the time required being inversely proportional to the microwave power supplied. The empirical equation that best represents the kinetics is of the Page type. The absorbed volumetric power in terms of the moisture content was experimentally estimated, with the experimental data fitting an empirical equation. 相似文献
