ABSTRACT Experiments were carried out to determine the effect of drying air temperature and foaming agent (egg albumin) for production tomato powder using foam-mat drying. Samples prepared juice (4°Brix total soluble solids), incorporating egg albumin as (0, 5, 10, 15 20%, w/w). Foamed (300 ± 0.5 g) was spread on rectangular trays (2.5 mm thickness) kept in tray dryer at 60, 65 70C temperature. Incorporation 10% with 5 min whipping time found optimum stable foam formation. The increase level...
This study presents a simple and trouble-free method for determining the antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands. AgNPs were prepared by chemical reduction using nitrates as metallic precursor formaldehyde (HCHO) reducing agent capped polyethylene glycol. Effects several processing variables size shape monitored an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer their SPR The formed particles showing various particle shapes full width at...
Summary Investigations were carried out to see the impact of drying air temperature (65, 75 and 85 °C) milk as foaming agent in different concentration levels (0%, 10%, 15%, 20% 25%) on chemical properties foam‐mat dried mango juice powder. Chemical such total sugars, ascorbic acid, carotenes, minerals, pH, soluble solids (TSS) microbial load (fungal bacterial) powder determined. Data analysed per two‐way anova , Duncan’s multiple range test l.s.d. A g R es Software statistical package....
Fresh ripened Guavas were procured from entrepreneur's field and weighed, sorted, washed, lye peeled before crushing sieving to get guava pulp for preparation of different products such as RTS, Nectar bar. Physico-chemical properties (Total Soluble Solids (TSS) Acidity, Ascorbic acid Content (AAC), Thermal properties, Particle Size analysis) microbial (bacteria, yeast mould) studied the prepared. Conductivity (w/mk); diffusivity (mm<SUP>2</SUP>/s), Specific Heat Capacity (J/m<SUP>3</SUP>k)...
The present study was undertaken with an objective to see the influence of different drying air temperatures (65, 75, and 85°C) foaming agents (carboxy methyl cellulose, milk, egg white) on biochemical properties foam mat dried tomato powder. It observed that there a decrease in total sugars, ascorbic acid, lycopene, however, pH slightly increased compared fresh juice composition no microbial (fungal bacterial) growth noticed. Conclusively, optimum conditions for using CMC as agent at 85°C...
The drying kinetics of mint leaves (Mentha spicata L.) in terms moisture content, ratio, time and rate, effective diffusivity was investigated. A laboratory model tunnel dryer at a speed 30 rpm employed to study the behaviour 45, 50, 55, 60 65°C. Mint primarily occurred falling rate period. data were fitted seven thin layer-drying models two-term satisfactorily described with highest r2 values. Effective (Deff) found increase air temperature it ranged from 1.2325 × 10-10 to 2.6568...
Basil leaves are well known for the medicinal values and grown widely in India. To investigate effect of different drying conditions on kinetics basil leaves, laboratory models tunnel tray dryers were employed air temperatures 55, 60 65°C considered drying. Drying prominently occurred falling rate period it was found that dried faster dryer. Six thin layer-drying fitted to experimental moisture ratio data. Among mathematical investigated, logarithmic model satisfactorily described behaviour...
Mango is widely preferred because of its excellent flavour and nutritional quality. pulp from <i>Dussehri</i> variety was foam mat dried using 0, 3, 5, 7, 9% egg white as foaming agent then at air drying temperature 65, 75 85℃. Weight loss used to estimate change in moiture ratio with respect time effective diffusivity. Seven thin layer models were fitted get the best fit model, which selected on basis various statistical parameters. Wang Singh model found be almost all cases. Nutritional...
Summary Foam mat drying is a lucrative process of mandarin (kinnow) pulp preservation in the form powder. experiments were carried out at 65, 75 and 85 °C air temperatures using carboxy methyl cellulose, milk egg white as foaming agents different concentrations levels to get dried Quality reconstituted Mandarin pulp‐powder was evaluated for 6 month storage studies an interval 2 months total sugars (%), ascorbic acid (mg 100 mL −1 ), pH microbial load (fungal bacterial) standard procedures....
Influence of moisture content on physical properties maize The kernels have been evaluated as a function (12.8-29.0% w.b.). kernel length, width, thickness, geometric mean diameter, surface area, sphericity and volume increased linearly with increase in content. bulk density true decreased while porosity thousand grains mass increasing static coefficient friction for mild steel sheet, galvanized iron sheet aluminium surfaces rupture or cutting force energy absorbed
Mango (Mangifera indica) pulp was foam-mat dried using 0, 3, 5, 7 and 9% egg white as foaming agent, at 65, 75 85C air temperature, pulverized into powder, packed stored ambient conditions analyzed 0-, 2-, 4- 6-month period for various physicochemical properties. Moisture content, total acid, nonenzymatic browning calcium content increased sugars, reducing ascorbic pH, carotenes, iron, phosphorus, water soluble index absorption of mango powder decreased with storage. There no bacterial...
Application of coarse cereal flours is recommended to replace wheat gluten in meat products and avoid allergy susceptible populations. Sorghum flour a good source dietary fiber provides nonglutinous scope for making gluten-free products. Keeping this view, the present research was envisaged evaluate different quality characteristic chicken nuggets prepared with sorghum flour. Three types viz., Control (CCNs), (GFN1 5% GFN2 10% flour) were compared physicochemical, instrumental texture, color...
Abstract The present investigation was aimed to observe the effect of particle size on physical, sensory and thermal properties foam-mat dried mango pulp powder. Mango Dussehri variety using 3% egg white at 65ºC. Dried foam-mats were pulverized passed through a sieve shaker for obtaining three grades powder with 50, 60, 85 mesh sieves. these samples measured laser diffraction analyzer ranged from 191.26 296.19 μm. data analysed statistically ANOVA SAS.

Concrete is the second largest consumed material for construction due to encouraged growth of infrastructure worldwide. The preparation concrete requires large amount making materials like cement, sand and coarse aggregate. Sand Coarse aggregate are naturally available, but cement production involves heating limestone other high temperatures leading release CO2 which in terns responsible emission greenhouse gases. Also, utilization natural resources leads scarcity. This results creation vast...
