This research focuses on the drying kinetics of industrial pineapple processing waste a flat plate, revealing two-phase process: an initial phase with constant rate followed by decreasing rate. During phase, convective mass transfer coefficient, influenced temperature variations from 40 to 70 °C, ranged 5.69 × 10−7 2.79 m s−1. The study introduced novel approach modeling applying equations derived Fick equation. process involved determining activation energy and thermodynamic properties...
Goat milk is still an underexploited product, mainly due to technical hurdles. Conversion into powder by spray drying can ensure product quality and safety, but un-optimized processing causes losses on value. Therefore, our work intended study the effects of goat using fundamental parameters. A set 12 experiments were conducted varying outlet temperature, feed flow rate so different kinetics tested. The process presented yields ranging from 41 62.5%, benefitting lower relative humidity...

Os métodos atualmente utilizados para realização de análise sensorial têm deixado muito a desejar por não traduzir satisfatoriamente os resultados. Diante deste problema, analisou-se possibilidade introdução um fator que medisse o índice concordância dos provadores sobre determinado aspecto analisado. Para validação coeficiente, foi avaliada entre julgadores na três diferentes amostras suco pinha (Annona squamosa L.): uma constituída apenas do sem leite e duas com concentrações pinha/leite....
Abstract Industrialization of goat milk is critical to meet increasing demand. For process optimization and proper preservation the product, information given by sorption isotherms can be fundamental. Therefore, objective this work was determine powder use that build a design space for spray drying process. By fitting different mathematical models (GAB, Cavalcanti Mata, Thompson, Oswin) experimental data, thermodynamic data also determined as function equilibrium water content. The results...
Mulatto beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) require proper drying for safe transport and storage. To support the process design, objective of this work was to determine mass transfer thermodynamic properties mulatto bean. were dried under different convective conditions from an initial moisture content 25% (w.b.) until its equilibrium drying. Using fundamental empirical models, considering bean as a sphere, constants effective diffusivity inside product determined at each temperature. Then, using...
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade fisiológica de sementes pinhão manso armazenadas em nitrogênio líquido, temperatura -196ºC e no vapor -170ºC, por períodos 0, 30, 60 90 dias. As foram botijões criogênicos, que mantêm o nas fases líquida vapor. Os parâmetros avaliados germinação vigor obtidos 14º dia depois da semeadura. delineamento estatístico foi inteiramente casualizado, empregando-se duas temperaturas (-170ºC -196ºC) quatro crioconservação (0, dias). Foram...
Lactose-free milk powders are an interesting topic, as the industry still struggles with enhanced stickiness of material. To better understand this industrial scale spray-dryer was used to assess influence process parameters on powder properties lactose-free milk. A simple design experiments conducted varying inlet temperature in combination atomization flow rate. The intention set different driving forces for drying surfaces mass transport. Yield is typically bottleneck, but from results,...
