The Application of Image Acquisition and Analysis Techniques to the Field of DryingFood Engineering Reviews - Tập 9 - Trang 13-35 - 2016
Jie Li, Zuo-Qin Qian
Many changes occur in the structure and properties of a test material during drying as a consequence of moisture evaporation. The use of image acquisition and analysis techniques is proposed here as a potential method of obtaining a better understanding of the different phenomena that can happen during drying. Such techniques can quantify the morphological, textural, and color features of material...... hiện toàn bộ
Improving Solar Dryers’ Performances Using Design and Thermal Heat StorageFood Engineering Reviews - Tập 5 - Trang 230-248 - 2013
Lyes Bennamoun
Solar drying is one of the most important processes used by the farmers and the agriculture producers especially in developing countries, at the same time as using free solar energy permits to reduce the cost of the operation. However, in order to face or to limit the intermittent character of solar energy, storage is proposed as a solution. It is found that two ways are used for the thermal energ...... hiện toàn bộ
Research Progress in Simultaneous Heat and Mass Transfer of Fruits and Vegetables During PrecoolingFood Engineering Reviews - Tập 14 - Trang 307-327 - 2022

The weight loss and spoilage of post-harvest fruits and vegetables (FVS) occur as a result of physiological and biological processes, the rates of which are influenced primarily by product temperature. In order to maintain the freshness of FVS and reduce losses, it is necessary to cool the product as soon as possible after harvest. Precooling is considered such an effective technique because it qu...... hiện toàn bộ

Recent Advancements in Design, Application, and Simulation Studies of Hybrid Solar Drying TechnologyFood Engineering Reviews - Tập 13 - Trang 375-410 - 2020
Aprajeeta Jha, P. P. Tripathy
Hybrid solar drying technology for food products is a clean and cost-effective replacement of highly energy intensive thermal dryers employed in agri-food processing chain. This involves the amalgamation of “only solar dryer” with various other energy harvesting systems like, biogas, heat pump, and thermal storage materials. This paper reviews the significance of hybrid solar dryers in terms of wi...... hiện toàn bộ
Edible Coating and Pulsed Light to Increase the Shelf Life of Food ProductsFood Engineering Reviews - Tập 13 - Trang 544-569 - 2020
Annachiara Pirozzi, Gianpiero Pataro, Francesco Donsì, Giovanna Ferrari
The application of edible coatings (EC) in combination with pulsed light (PL) treatments represents an emerging approach for extending the shelf life of highly perishable but high value-added products, such as fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. The surface of these products would benefit from the protective effects of ECs and the PL decontamination capability. This review describes in detail the fun...... hiện toàn bộ
Kinetic Assessment of High Pressure Inactivation of Different Plant Origin Pectinmethylesterase EnzymesFood Engineering Reviews - Tập 9 - Trang 170-189 - 2017
G. J. Katsaros, Z. S. Alexandrakis, P. S. Taoukis
High pressure can be applied for the inactivation of endogenous enzymes detrimental to fruit and vegetable products. One of the enzymes that affect the quality of fruits and vegetables is pectinmethylesterase (PME), responsible for cloud destabilization and consistency changes. Depending on the desired quality of the developed product, PME can be partly or fully inactivated. In this review paper, ...... hiện toàn bộ
