This paper presents a comprehensive review of thin-layer drying-curve models available in
the literature and their comparisons for single-layer drying applications from 2003 to 2013. In …

The material properties like glass transition temperature, diffusion, microstructures of rice
kernels and gelatinisation and retrogradation of the rice starch are reviewed to understand …

The use of low air temperatures (26–34° C) and relative humidities (19–68%) to dry thin-
layer samples of rough rice to the desired 12.5% moisture content was investigated. Drying …

Drying characteristics of bananas were experimentally determined. The drying experiments
were carried out in a hot air dryer at four inlet temperatures of 50, 60, 70 and 80° C, at a …

The poultry industry is one of the largest and fastest growing sectors of livestock production
in the world. The estimated 2010 world flock was over 18 billion birds with a yearly manure …

The colour change (yellowing or reddening) that occurs during parboiling affects the
consumer acceptance of parboiled rice. In order to understand the factors controlling colour …

Sweet potato is increasingly becoming important and popular as food stuff all over the world.
Therefore investigation of thin layer drying of sweet potato slices in three different …

In this study, a model was developed and numerical simulations based on the developed
model were performed to investigate the convective air drying behavior of porous materials …
