Suillus granulatus is a valuable wild edible mushroom with a strong umami taste. Different grades of S. granulatus were dried by different methods, including natural air drying (ND), hot air drying (HAD), vacuum drying (VD), and freeze drying (FD). Results showed that VD samples of all grades had the highest equivalent umami concentration (EUC) value (P

Vegetable drying is an energy consuming procedure despite the fact that it is the most efficient way to preserve agricultural products. This study investigates a new way to dry good quality garlic at lower cost. Thin garlic layer was submitted to free convection airflow at air drying temperature of 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C. Using the slope method, effective diffusivity coefficient was determined at each drying temperature during the first and second falling drying rate periods. Considering the former, it increased with increasing temperature. In relation to latter, it decreased with the temperature increase. However, at low drying temperatures, process keeps on going to very low moisture content; and it develops to an asymptotic value at high temperatures, indicating that shrinking at high temperature prevents evaporation of some residual moisture. Considered separately, these temperatures do not reflect the conditions met in solar drying, since in solar systems, air temperature increases during the day with increasing solar radiation. Therefore, characterization of garlic drying by means of step temperature varying – the first hour of drying at 40 °C; the second hour of drying at 50 °C, and the remaining time of drying at 60 °C – might better correspond with conditions under solar drying and result in better understanding of the process.

A moisture-heat transfer and stress model of corn kernels based on multi-component heterogeneity was developed and verified to predict the stress cracking during hot-air drying. Simulated results showed that the moisture gradient and von Mises stress of each corn component simulated by the verified model increased first and then decreased, where the von Mises stress in the outer layer of corn kernels was larger than that in the inner layer. The maximum von Mises stress of each corn component increased with the increase of drying temperature and the decrease of relative humidity. The stress cracks were mainly formed in hard endosperm and soft endosperm, because the maximum von Mises stress of hard endosperm was larger than the yield stress of the two components, which were agreement with statistical results of stress cracks. Therefore, a drying operation with lower temperature and higher relative humidity is beneficial for inhibiting the stress cracking in corn kernels.

Turnip is a vegetable that has many health promoting effects. To diversify the usage and increase the consumption of turnip, the effects of hot air drying, infrared drying, explosion puff drying and freeze drying (FD) on the volatiles of turnip chips were studied. The volatiles of fresh turnip and dried turnip chips were isolated by HS-SPME–GC–MS and a total of 67 volatiles were identified. However, the volatiles in turnip chips dried by different methods are quite different. Based on principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis, the volatiles of fresh turnip were distinguished from those of the dried chips and FD was separated from the other drying methods. As the result of orthogonal projection on latent structure-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), isothiocyanato-cyclopropane and (2-isothiocyanatoethyl)-benzene were identified as the characteristic volatiles of fresh turnip. While, 2-azido-2,3,3-trimethyl-butane and hexanal were identified as the characteristic volatiles for FD dried chips.

Background Papanicolaou stained (Pap) smears in fine needle aspiration cytology play an important role for studying chromatin details of the cells and also ensures its optimal resemblance with the cell nuclei on histological sections. The conventional Pap Stained smears are ethanol fixed before drying. But delay in fixation due to any reason results in drying artifacts in the stained smears making it an inept smear for further examination. Aims & objectives: To study the role of rehydration fluid for removal of air drying artifact. Material and methods: Fifty fine needle aspiration smears from different organs with drying artifact in Pap Stained smears were included in the study. The smears were destained, rehydrated with rehydrating fluid for two hours and were restained with Pap stain after fixation with 95 % alcohol. Results : Smears treated with this solution showed reversal of the air drying artifact with better nuclear details and background material staining. Conclusion: Rehydration of destained Pap smears with rehydrating fluid followed by restaining results in optimal staining of the nuclear and background details preventing the material loss and making the smears appropriate for staining.

The study of the biological characteristics of feed crops and the use of modern methods in the study of the processes of their selection is relevant for the intensification of feed production. The article presents the results of a biochemical study of the giant VIK-2 (Agrostis gigantea Roth) field birch seed, their sowing and yield properties after thermal dehydration (drying of air-dried samples at 105 oС to constant weight), as well as their total antioxidant activity during germination in the dark. The total antioxidant activity of seeds and seedlings was studied using coulometric analysis and determined using electrogenerated bromine, the samples were analyzed on a certified couponometer Expert-006 (LLC Econix-Expert, Russia) using a certified method. The work shows that, compared with air drying after thermohydration, there is a decrease in the viability and yield properties of seeds. Seed germination decreased by 5.5%, the height of plants at the end of the germination period (on the 14th day after sowing) by 9.4%, the mass of 100 sprouts – by 21.3%, the yield of green mass (microgreen) also by 21.3%. The antioxidant activity of seeds after thermal dehydration also decreased by 21.4%. For the first time, data were obtained on the viability, formation of microgreen biomass and a change in the total antioxidant activity of the seeds of the VIK-2 giant cultivar after thermal dehydration (drying the initial seeds) in the test at 105 °C to constant weight. It was shown that thermal dehydration of seeds at 105 °C significantly affects the viability of seeds and seedlings of a bent field, which is associated with the characteristics of metabolism, forms and state of water activity in cells and tissues of plants.

Since the traditional parboiled rice process requires a high-pressure boiler and contains several processing steps, this work therefore proposes a new method of producing parboiled rice with no requirement of steam and fewer processing steps. With the proposed technique, a microwave-assisted hot air fluidized bed dryer (MWFB) was used. The Suphanburi 1 variety of paddy was first soaked in hot water and then dried by MWFB at temperatures of 111-169 °C and a fixed microwave power of 2 W/g wet paddy. The experimental results show that having the microwave turned on continuously for 180 s from the beginning of the drying process enhanced the rate of drying only when the drying rate was in the first falling rate period and could help to gelatinize the starch near the core of kernel, where it is very difficult to achieve gelatinization by hot air drying alone. During the MWFB drying process, the A-type crystalline structures decreased whilst V-type amylose-lipid complexes were formed. The amount of head rice yield, redness (a*-value), and yellowness (b*-value) increased whilst the lightness (L*-value) decreased during drying. To preserve the good head rice quality of the parboiled rice, the drying of the soaked paddy was not allowed to fall below 22–24% d.b. and the tempering step after drying was necessary.

[EN] Promoting a circular economy through valorisation of food processing waste into functional ingredients is a challenge today. The combination of hot air drying with milling is a cheap and highly available option for obtaining powdered products from blueberry pomace, a residue with a large amount of fibre and a high proportion of polyphenols from the fruit. The objective of this work was to analyse the effect of drying temperature (60 degrees C and 70 degrees C) and granulometry (coarse and fine) on physicochemical properties, including antioxidant properties and monomeric anthocyanins content. The potential prebiotic effect of blueberry pomace powders, as well as their water and oil interaction properties, were also assessed. Stability of physicochemical properties over 20 weeks of storage was also evaluated. Powders obtained showed a total fibre content higher than 30% with a good proportion between insoluble and soluble fractions and a high retention of monomeric anthocyanins from fresh pomace (75% at 60 degrees C and 66% at 70 degrees C). The powders showed good water interaction properties and interesting technological properties, such as solubility and hygroscopicity, which were not affected by differences in particle size. Stability of powders' physicochemical properties was evidenced throughout the storage period., This researchwas funded by GENERALITAT VALENCIANA, grant number AICO/2017/'049.

In this study, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and chemometrics were implemented to develop prediction models for moisture, colour, chemical and structural attributes of purple-speckled cocoyam slices subjected to hot-air drying. Since HSI systems are costly and computationally demanding, the selection of a narrow band of wavelengths can enable the utilisation of simpler multispectral systems. In this study, 19 optimal wavelengths in the spectral range 400–1700 nm were selected using PLS-BETA and PLS-VIP feature selection methods. Prediction models for the studied quality attributes were developed from the 19 wavelengths. Excellent prediction performance (RMSEP &lt, 2.0, r2P &gt, 0.90, RPDP &gt, 3.5) was obtained for MC, RR, VS and aw. Good prediction performance (RMSEP &lt, 8.0, r2P = 0.70–0.90, RPDP &gt, 2.0) was obtained for PC, BI, CIELAB b*, chroma, TFC, TAA and hue angle. Additionally, PPA and WI were also predicted successfully. An assessment of the agreement between predictions from the non-invasive hyperspectral imaging technique and experimental results from the routine laboratory methods established the potential of the HSI technique to replace or be used interchangeably with laboratory measurements. Additionally, a comparison of full-spectrum model results and the reduced models demonstrated the potential replacement of HSI with simpler imaging systems.

Museum collections contain enormous quantities of insect specimens collected over the past century, covering a period of increased and varied insecticide usage. These historic collections are therefore incredibly valuable as genomic snapshots of organisms before, during, and after exposure to novel selective pressures. However, these samples come with their own challenges compared with present-day collections, as they are fragile and retrievable DNA is low yield and fragmented. In this article, we tested several DNA extraction procedures across pinned historic Diptera specimens from four disease vector genera: Anopheles, Aedes, Culex, and Glossina. We identify an approach that minimizes morphological damage while maximizing DNA retrieval for Illumina library preparation and sequencing that can accommodate the fragmented and low yield nature of historic DNA. We identify several key points in retrieving sufficient DNA while keeping morphological damage to a minimum: an initial rehydration step, a short incubation without agitation in a modified low salt Proteinase K buffer (referred to as “lysis buffer C” throughout), and critical point drying of samples post-extraction to prevent tissue collapse caused by air drying. The suggested method presented here provides a solid foundation for exploring the genomes and morphology of historic Diptera collections.

Hot air drying has proven to be an efficient method to preserve specific edible plant materials with medicinal properties. This is a process involving chemical, physical, and biological changes in plant matrices. Understanding these processes will lead to an improvement in the yields of bioactive compounds. This study aims to optimize the drying process of two species’ fruits used in folk medicine, Berberis vulgaris and Crataegus monogyna. The optimized extracts’ antioxidant capacity was assessed using various assays, with the barberry extract showing very good activity (50.85, 30.98, and 302.45 mg TE/g dw for DPPH, TEAC, and FRAP assays, respectively). Both species exerted good fungal α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.34 and 0.56 mg/mL, respectively) but no activity on mammalian α-glucosidase. Additionally, this study identified and quantified the main bioactive compounds. The results presented herein are a breakthrough in industrializing this drying process. Additional studies are necessary to mechanistically understand the drying process involved in these plant materials.

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) drying is a promising technology to better preserve the nutritional content and sensory appeal of dried fruits and vegetables. To successfully scale up this technology, we need to rethink the current EHD dryer designs. There is also a significant potential to further enhance the nutritional content and sensory quality of the dried products by optimizing EHD process parameters. This study particularly highlights the current bottlenecks in scaling up the technology and improving nutrient retention and sensory appeal of the dried products. We discuss plausible future pathways to further develop the technology to produce highly nutritious dried products. Particular emphasis has been given to quantifying the residual nutritional and sensory properties of EHD dried products, and possible EHD dryer configurations for farmers and the industry. Concerning the nutritional content, EHD drying preserves vitamins, carotenes, and antioxidants significantly better than convective air drying. From the sensory perspective, EHD drying enhances the color of dried products, as well as their general appearance. With respect to scalability, placing the fruit on a grounded mesh electrode dries the fruit much faster and more uniformly than the grounded plate electrode. Future research should be directed toward simultaneous measurements of multiple food nutrients and sensory properties during EHD drying with a grounded mesh collector. Quantifying the impact of the food loading density on drying kinetics and energy consumption of the EHD drying process should also be a future research goal. Research comparing EHD drying with commercially available drying methods such as freeze-drying, microwave-drying, and infrared drying should also be carried out. This study gives promising insight toward developing a scalable novel thermal drying technology tailored to the requirements of the current and future society., Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, 20 (5), ISSN:1541-4337

Sediment humic substance (SHS) is a highly heterogeneous and complex organic mixture with a broad molecular weight range. It is the significant component that associates distribution, transport, and biotoxicity of pollutants in a river environment. Air- and freeze-drying sediment pre-treatment may cause different biological activity and may result in different chemical quantities and sediment organic matter. This study collected sediments that received livestock wastewater discharge. The sediments were air- (AD) and freeze-dried (FD). The dried sediment organic matter was extracted with an alkaline solution and separated into three size-fractioned SHS samples. Size-fractioning is an effective method used to differentiate materials, on a molecular level. The bulk solution (&lt, 0.45 μm) was designated as BHS, and size-fractioned solutions were identified as LHS (&lt, 1 kDa), MHS (1–10 kDa), and HHS (10 kDa-0.45 μm). The AD SHS had a lower dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration than the FD SHS for the bulk and individual size-fractioned SHS, but the AD and FD SHS had a similar distribution of organic carbon in the size-fractioned SHS. The AD SHS had higher aromaticity (SUVA254) and an extent of humification (HIX) than the FD SHS. In addition, the high molecular weight SHS (HHS) had a higher SUVA254 but lower HIX than the MHS and LHS. The HHS had significantly lower fulvic acid but had higher humic acid-like substances than the MHS and LHS. This is possibly the reason the LHS had a higher humification degree but lower aromaticity than HHS. The size-fractioned SHS and optical indicators distinguished the difference between the chemical properties when air- or freeze-dried, due to the different degree of biological activities.

In this present study, influence of various temperatures (40–60 °C) on drying characteristics such as moisture ratio (MORA), drying rate (DYR) and moisture diffusivity (EMOD) of Cardiospermum helicacabum leaves were investigated using hot air drying method. Outcomes exhibited that, drying was occurred in falling rate period and enhancing temperature leads to elevate the drying characteristics as well as shorten the drying time. At higher temperature (60 °C), loss of moisture from leaves was occurred while comparing with other temperatures and shortens the time of drying. Similarly, EMOD was also increased with enhancement in temperature which indicates the quick diffusion process was takes place at higher temperature. Modified page model was precisely fit with observed drying data.

The present experiment entitled “Effect of desiccants on drying of carnation flower was carried out during the academic years 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Department of Horticulture, Post Graduate Institute, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola to find out suitable desiccant for drying for carnation flower. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with four replications. The treatments comprised of six different drying methods viz. Air drying under shade (control), drying after embedding in borax, clean fine sand, silica gel, 1:1 glycerol: water and 1:3, 1:1 glycerol: water. Embedded drying in silica gel scored maximum scores for extent of colour fading at 60, 150 and 180 days after drying during storage, whereas minimum scores were recorded in treatment of air drying under shade. With respect to incidence of pest and diseases scores of flowers during storage at 60, 150 and 180 days after drying, treatment silica gel embedded drying scored maximum points whereas minimum scores and maximum damage by pests and diseases were recorded in treatment in air drying under shade treatment.

Rhodomyrtus tomentosa berries are rich in nutrition, but easily mildew, so it is necessary to dry them with a proper drying technique in time. The effects of the combined microwave-hot-air-drying (CD) on the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa berry powder were evaluated in this study, compared with those of hot air drying (HD) and microwave drying (MD). The results showed that the hydration properties and oil holding capacity of CD-berry powder were better than those of HD- and MD-ones. However, CD-berry powder showed lower fillibility and liquidity than HD-one and but similar to MD-one. There was no significant difference among the thermal stability of berry powder produced by the three drying methods. Furthermore, CD was beneficial to maintain the color, nutrition, and active ingredients of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa berry powder. CD-berry powder and MD-one had similar antioxidant properties. In general, CD is more suitable for the processing of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa berry powder.

Recently, there has been a great concern about increasing the yield and storage of many olive cultivars in Egypt and countries around the world. However, there is a lack of storage facilities to reduce the losses of olives. This study provide some safe treatments after harvest to extend the cold storage of olives, while reducing or mitigating the chilling injury of stored fruits. Treatments were done by dipping fruits of each used cultivar, namely Manzanillo and Toffahi in one of the treatment solutions which were, the control (water), Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) at 100 or 200 ppm, Lisophos (LPE) at 200 or 400 ppm, putrescine at 1 or at 2 mM, in addition to benzyladenine (BA) at either 100 or 200 ppm. After dipping for 20 min, olives were left for air drying at room temperature (22 ± 2°C ) in foam plates, then stored in the cold store at (5 ± 1°C) and relative humidity of 95 %. Each solution contained the surfactant called Tween 20 at 0.05% (V/V). After each cold storage duration olives were left for 24 hrs on the bench at room temperature to warm up before assessing the physiological and chemical characteristics of fruits of each treatment. The results revealed that putrescine - treated fruits had higher chlorophyll content especially at 2 mM. Similar trend of results was obtained with LPE at 200 ppm or BA at 200 ppm. Meanwhile, there was a significant reduction of electrolyte leakage following the cold storage periods, especially with LOE at 400 ppm or putrescine at 1 mM when compared with the control. This study recommended dipping olive fruits after harvest and prior cold storage in Lisophos at 200 or 400 ppm or in putrescine solution at 1 mM to prolong the cold storage life and to reduce the injury of stored olives, while reducing their loss of quality.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the convective air-drying characteristics of a wet sand layer. The experimental setup allows dynamic measurements of both sand layer weight and temperature, with hot air flowing towards the sand layer surface to ensure a uniform drying of it. Experiments are conducted for a 4 mm thick sand layer for three air temperatures of 45, 60 and 75 °C. The lumped parameter method is used to analyze the sand layer heat transfer. The results show that the sand layer temperature continuously increases throughout the drying process, which can be divided into three stages, i.e. the initial rapid, intermediate slow, and final rapid increase stages. There is no constant temperature stage that is often observed in water film evaporation experiment. The drying process can also be divided into three stages according to the sand layer drying rate variation, they are the increasing, constant, and decreasing rate stages, which roughly correspond to the three temperature rise stages. The lumped parameter analysis result supports that the convective heat from the hot air is used mainly for the water evaporation.

During the natural air drying process of maca, the content of total glucosinolates decreased significantly in the first two months of drying, accompanied by the mass synthesis of macamides. Two kinds of glucosinolates and most of the known classes of macamides have the same two benzyl‐dependent functional groups. The result suggest that natural air drying is the most suitable condition for the formation of macamides, and these two glucosinolates are the most important kinds of precursors of macamides.

To study the effect of temperature and humidity on the drying indexes and quality indexes of corn and to optimize the corn drying process, an orthogonal experiment of hot air drying with variable temperature and humidity was designed. The drying process of the actual dryer was simulated by taking the gradient of hot air temperature (x) and the gradient of absolute humidity (y) as the experimental factors. The results showed that the drying indexes (drying time, average drying rate, accumulated temperature) reached optimal values under the drying conditions of cooling and dehumidifying; among them, the optimal value of x was 10 °C (50 °C, 40 °C, and 30 °C), and the optimal value of y was 8 g/m3 (25 g/m3, 17 g/m3, and 9 g/m3). The quality indexes (percentage of damage, fatty acid value, germination rate) reached the optimal values under the drying conditions of heating and humidifying; among them, the optimal value of y for the three quality indicators was 8 g/m3 (9 g/m3, 17 g/m3, and 25 g/m3), but the optimal value of x were different, the optimal value of x were 2.65 °C (39.35 °C, 42 °C, and 44.65 °C), 2.24 °C (39.76 °C, 42 °C, and 44.24 °C) and 6.33 °C (35.67 °C, 42 °C, and 48.33 °C). A genetic algorithm was used to transform the multi-objective function into one index, and the results show that: when x was 2.26°C (39.74°C, 42.00°C, and 44.26°C), y was 4.84 g/m3 (12.16 g/m3, 17.00 g/m3, and 21.84 g/m3), the comprehensive characteristics of the drying process can be optimized.

A real-time aroma monitoring system to control a microwave combined with hot air drying (MHAD) process of carrot was designed. The samples were first dried at four fixed temperature gradients of 2°C/mm, 4°C/mm, 6°C/mm and 8°C/mm to investigate the effect of temperature gradient on the aroma diffusion. Carrot samples could be dried in a shorter time from 140 min to 100 min from low-temperature gradients 2°C/mm to high-temperature gradient 8°C/mm. Main volatiles lost more and charring volatiles was induced at highest temperature gradients 8°C/mm. A fuzzy logic controller was then designed and employed to control the drying process. Based on the temperature curve achieved under fuzzy logic control, a simple linear control method was developed where e-nose online assistance could be omitted. Color, vitamin C, rehydration ratio and sensory evaluation were performed after rehydration. With the new control strategies, carrot color and overall appearance were intact and less time and energy were consumed.

Spices and herbs have been used by humanity for thousands of years, so they are very important plants. In this study, the change of dry matter content and antioxidant compounds of eight spices (basil, thyme, rosemary, mint, parsley, lemongrass, chives, coriander) have been examined the raw plants and in plants preserved by three different drying methods (an oven in 50–60°C; drying at room temperature; lyophilisation between -40 and -50°C, under pressure), because we wanted to see the change of the parameters. The water content of raw plants was very high, i.e. the dry matter content was very low. By the application of the three drying methods nearly 100% of the water has left the plants, with the exception of the lyophilized basil and rosemary. Based on the results related to the original material, lyophilized has proved to be the best treatment for the preservation of antioxidant compounds, however air drying also showed high results for some spices.

The study was concerned with the kinetics of dehydration of jackfruit and mango pulp and their use for the development of mixed leather. Kinetics study showed that jackfruit pulp dried faster than mango pulp. The chemical composition of fresh jackfruit and mango pulp showed that moisture, ash, protein, fat, vitamin -C, acidity, pH and total soluble solids content were found 74.23%, 0.86%, 1.55%, 0.60%, 5.04 mg/100g, 0.224% (wb), 5.41 and 25.0% for jackfruit pulp, whereas for mango pulp, the contents are 80.1%, 0.45%, 1.2%, 0.70%, 24.2 mg/100 g, 0.48% (wb), 3.79 and 18.0% respectively. During mechanical drying, it was shown that drying rate decreased with the increase in thickness and for fresh jackfruit and mango pulp, values of index n were 0.38 and 0.20 at 60°C respectively, whereas for steam blanched jackfruit and mango pulp, value of index n were 0.38 and 0.29 at 60°C respectively and these were lower than 2 as predicted by the Ficks 2nd law of diffusion. The activation energy (Ea) was calculated as 3.12 Kcal/g.mole, 2.786 Kcal/g.mole, 2.90 Kcal/g.mole and 2.786 Kcal/g.mole for the fresh jackfruit, fresh mango, steam blanched jackfruit and steam blanched mango pulps respectively. The organoleptic taste test showed that sample 401 (Fruit pulp with sugar and KMS) secured highest score. [Fundam Appl Agric 2019; 4(4.000): 1089-1096]

In this study, the production of green olive, chickpea and haricot bean added potato chips was investigated in order to produce a functional snack food appealing to consumers from all age groups. Chips were produced by hot air drying (75–85 °C), vacuum drying (75–85 °C, 250 mbar), and microwave drying (90 W and 180 W). The effective diffusion coefficient of chips was calculated as between 4.25 × 10−9- 4.38 × 10−8. When the drying behavior of samples was examined; vacuum drying, convectional drying and microwave drying fitted in Page and Modified Page models. Total acidity, pH, salt, protein, total phenolics and antioxidant activity analyses were conducted in chips and chips doughs. In olive added chips, the highest total phenolic content was determined in the sample produced by vacuum drying method at 85 °C. Moreover, for chickpea-olive added chips, the highest total phenolic content and antioxidant activity were determined in microwave dried (180 W) samples. In haricot bean and olive added chips, antioxidant activity showed differences according to drying methods. Chickpea and haricot bean addition into chips doughs were increased the protein content in dried samples.
