Kinetics of colour and texture changes in Gulabjamun balls during deep-fat frying

Gulabjamun, a popular Indian milk sweet, is prepared by deep-fat frying of balls of dough made of khoa, wheat flour and baking powder, and subsequent dipping in sugar syrup. Kinetics of colour and texture changes in gulabjamun balls were investigated with regard to frying temperature (120, 130, 140 °C). Crust colour was evaluated in terms of CIELAB parameters L*, a*, b*, and ΔE, and rheological properties in terms of hardness, stiffness and firmness. Frying-induced surface browning was reflected in a decreasing lightness value L* as well as the ratio of yellow hue index b* and red hue index a* and total colour expressed in terms of ΔE, L* following a zero-order change whereas the other parameters, a first-order change. Increase in the texture parameters hardness and firmness followed zero-order reaction kinetics whereas stiffness rise followed a first-order reaction. The temperature dependence of reaction constants could be explained by the Arrhenius equation. Activation energy was also obtained for both the colour and texture changes, which were in the range of 24.5-77.6 kJ/mol. High correlations between colour and texture parameters were observed and it was concluded that L* alone could be used to predict the firmness of deep-fat fried gulabjamun balls.

合成射流激励影响扩散燃烧NOx生成的实验研究

对合成射流激励助燃风影响NOx生成进行了实验研究,主要考察了合成射流频率、幅值对燃烧器内掺混区时均速度、NOx含量、温度等参数分布的影响。实验结果表明,加入适当频率的合成射流激励助燃风,能够增强径向、周向速度幅值,改善天然气与助燃风的掺混,降低“热点”温度和NOx生成量（较无激励时最多降低约14％）,这有益于降低天然气燃烧造成的大气污染。     

山东球墨铸铁管有限公司焦炭货场改造

山东球墨铸铁管有限公司350m^3高炉投产后,原有的焦炭货场场地小,而焦炭用量增大、供货厂家增多,无法做到混匀人炉。通过采取对焦炭进行分区管理和高架布料混匀改造后,焦炭质量趋向稳定;焦末的生成量从1318％降低到8．9％,提高了焦炭的利用率;同时焦比降低。

Effects of Technical Conditions on Structure, Morphology and Crystalline Size of Nanocrystalline Nd-Doped Ceria Powders

Nanocrystalline solid solution CeO2-Nd2O3 powders were prepared by low temperature combustion process.Special attention was paid to the influence of the glycine/metal ratio and calcination temperature on the powders phase structure, morphology and particle size.TG-DSC curves and XRD peaks of different glycine/metal ratio show that smaller particle size can be obtained with a slightly fuel-deficient ratio.XRD results indicate that the as-prepared powders are crystallized in a single fluorite structure.The crystalline size ranges from 9 to 24 nm, which increases with the increase of calcination temperature.The lower SEM images were characterized by the spongy and form-like microstructure of the powders.Organic agent may be gradually eliminated by high temperature calcination process.     

Effect of Carbon Properties on Melting Behavior of Mold Fluxes for Continuous Casting of Steels

Mold fluxes are synthetic slags used to coverthe liquid steel meniscus during continuous castingof steel.The flux,whichis continuously fed on thesurface of liquid pool during casting,melts first andthenflowsintothe gap between mold wall and solid-ified steel shell.It is well known that the perform-ance of the flux can greatly affect both the castingoperation and product quality.Because of its i mpor-tance,intensiveinvestigations have been performed,and considerable progress has been made[1-6].…
