Cashew apple fruit (Anacardium occidentale L.) is an under‐valued and under‐utilized by‐
product of the nut‐processing units in India. Despite its huge production and nutritive values …

A detailed theoretical analysis has been carried out to investigate the effect of the shape of
the sample on the microwave heating dynamics of food materials. The food materials are …

Microwave heating occurs volumetrically leading to faster processing than conventional
heating processes. Over the last few decades, the potential of microwave heating has been …

The physical and thermal properties of Jack bean seed (Canavalia ensiformis) were
investigated. The physical properties were determined using standard measuring …

Numerical studies have been carried out for microwave heating of food samples. It has been
shown that the food materials can be divided into four groups based on the values of fp and …

Response surface methodology–central composite rotatable design was used to model and
optimize the effect of moisture content (5.86–34.14% dry basis [db]) and temperature (18.79 …

The effective thermal diffusivity (α ef) of a porous bed containing rice grains was determined
under different experimental conditions. The α ef values were estimated by the Log method …

Spices have been in part of our food since centuries, and now become integral part of our
life. Cinnamon and Cassia are the bark of evergreen trees and is one of the important …

Thermal processing of cashew kernels is determined by removal of moisture, and therefore,
an indication of the product quality and the entire process economics. This paper reported …

In the current study, the properties of key lime (Citrus X aurantiifolia) fruit which is abundantly
available in north eastern part of India was studied. The outcomes of this work might be …
