Ultrasound was combined with ethanol to improve different aspects of carrot convective
drying, evaluating both processing and product quality. The ultrasound in water treatment …

Among different effects, both ultrasound and ethanol technologies change the product
structure and promote mass transfer when used as pre-treatments to improve the food …

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of drying air temperature on drying kinetics and
the physicochemical properties of dried bananas. Banana slices were dried at 40, 60, and …

This study examined the effects of vacuum, ethanol pretreatment, and infrared-hot air drying
methods on the characteristics and quality of scallion slices. The pretreatment of scallion …

For the first time, the ethanol as pre-treatment to the ultrasound-assisted convective drying of
food was evaluated. Pre-treatments were performed by immersion of apple slices in ethanol …

Ethanol and ultrasound (US) were applied as pre-treatments to improve the infrared (IR)
drying of potato slices. Pre-treatments included Control samples (Without any pre-treatment) …

This paper investigated the effects of different pretreatments on the drying process and
quality characteristics of catalytic infrared (CIR) dried garlic slices. Different garlic samples …

Drying is a complex unit operation widely applied in food processing. There is still an
increasing interest to enhance the process, as well as the product quality and properties. In …
