There are continuous research and industrial application for osmo-convective dehydration as a choice technology the processing of dried fruit snacks development new functional snacks.Owning to quality loss high energy investment associated with convective fresh fruits into dry snacks; osmotic prior has become widely used improvement, conservation production snacks.In this review, we address current knowledge in use produce by providing information on optimized process condition producing...

<b><sc>Abstract.</sc></b> Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) is a widely used enzyme to modify the textural properties food proteins by causing crosslinking of protein matrix. In this research, we evaluate effect MTGase in product formulation on some physical and protein-rich extruded snacks. During amount pea cheddar cheese added were maintained at 10% 5% w/w respectively was 0.7% w/w, such that final moisture content 16.5 ±1% (w.b.) Processing condition kept constant 58 g/min feed rate,...

<b><sc>Abstract.</sc></b> <b>The thermal performance of a mixed-mode solar dryer prototype for cocoa beans was optimized by geometrical optimization the using numerical simulation. A mixed mode modelled, numerically simulated computational fluid dynamic (CFD), and modelled experimentally validated 50 kg thin layer mass configuration under no load condition. The simulation parameters include drying chamber cross-sectional area, height, tray (plenum) position, collector inclination angle as...

HIGHLIGHTS1. Overall, Mixed-mode solar drying is a viable option for cocoa beans without losing market value even during the season of few hours sun-shine 2. Open sun method produces low quality dried sunshine.3. Cocoa wet-season were less acidic 4. A varied moisture content obtained in fermented and due to difference seasonal effect.

<b><sc>Abstract.</sc></b> Proso millet glutelin protein fractions make up its second-largest mostly used in proso concentrates and isolates. In this experiment, we identified the gene of type-B 5-like isoform fraction with over 40% structural identity crystal structure recombinant pro-11S globulin pumpkin (2E9Q). We further cloned attached six continuous histidine codons into a pET 21d expression vector, overexpressed rosetta Escherichia coli cells, purified from inclusion bodies by...

<abstract> <b>Abstract.</b> Designing of compatible transport and post processing equipment procedures require information about the aerodynamic properties agricultural materials being handled. Therefore, this study focused on determination some moisture dependent a dark red variety Roselle calyxes. Experiments were conducted to measure physical properties, terminal velocity drag coefficient at three different content (14.40%, 18.00% 23.87% w.b). The results shows that length increases from...

Abstract This study determined the 3D structure of glutelin type-B 5-like (GTB) protein from proso millet using homology modeling and investigated effects simulated temperature static electric field on its secondary structures, solvent accessibility surface area (SASA), radius gyration (Rg), root mean square deviation (RMSD), total dipole moment. The result showed that GTB is majorly a protomer comprises three monomers with one jelly-like β-barrel two extended helix domains, remaining 35% as...
