Ocimum species, particularly selloi Benth, popularly known as atroveran, are notable for their significant biological properties and wide applicability in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic industries. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of drying air temperature velocity on kinetics O. leaves a fixed-bed dryer identify most suitable mathematical model describe process. Following drying, ethanolic aqueous extracts were prepared from analyzed antioxidant activity. The results showed that had...
Desenvolveu-se um modelo matemático para estimar a concentração de água em grãos ervilha durante sua hidratação, o qual foi obtido partir balanço massa regime transiente, considerando-se volume constante e geometria esférica. Este é representado por uma equação diferencial ordinária primeira ordem possui dois parâmetros: coeficiente transferência (Ks) equilíbrio (ρAeq). Ambos foram ajustados numericamente tomando-se como critério minimização da soma dos resíduos quadráticos, utilizando-se...
To overcome the nonideality of model presented by Hsu, who assumed that soybean grains suffered no change in volume during hydration, a distributed parameter was developed following an approach similar to used but considering grain varies as function hydration time. This new presents more complex numerical solution and it compared with original Hsu at constant volume. The models were fitted experimental measurements moisture content over time least squares method. results showed increased...
Abstract Red cabbage has a high content of anthocyanin and it may become an important source this pigment. Common extraction methods are not selective, great quantity sugar is co‐extracted with the dye. This work used adsorption‐desorption process on Amberlite XAD7 Sephadex LH20 resins to partially purify anthocyanins present in whole juice red cabbage. Both succeeded anthocyanins, producing solutions up 0.5 g L−1 sugars from initial concentration more than 25 L−1. Using was possible recover...
A comparative analysis of the theoretical-experimental study, developed by Hsu on hydration Amsoy 71 soybean grain, was performed through several soaking experiments using CD 202 at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 °C, measuring moisture content over time. The results showed that equilibrium content, Xeq, does not depend temperature is 21% higher than found Hsu, suggesting cultivar exerts great influence Xeq. model numerically solved its parameters were adjusted least squares method, with maximum...

The predictions of the Hsu model soybean hydration are compared with simulation results distributed parameter phenomenological (DPP) that was developed in this study. models were based on same mass balance one volume differential element model; however, admits an exponential variation concentration while DPP equal diffusion and convection fluxes at solid-fluid interface. represented by a partial second order equation relation to radial position first time, which solved numerically fitted...
The behavior of three distributed parameter mathematical models was investigated in this study with different surface boundary conditions: (1) equilibrium moisture is instantly reached at the surface, (2) content behaves as a first-order process, and (3) diffusive convective fluxes are equal grain. were numerically solved fitted to experimental data soybean grain hydration by least squares method. best model chosen analyze effective diffusion coefficient inside function time, temperature,...

A mathematical model with distributed parameters was proposed to describe the absorption of water by soybeans, in order evaluate moisture content variation time inside grains. This represented a partial differential equation (second relative position and first time), whose were numerically adjusted using minimum squares method. For this purpose, available MATLAB® routines used, together experimental data obtained from hydration tests where soybeans immersed liquid at temperatures 10, 20, 30,...
