Thermodynamic properties of moisture desorption isotherms of ryegrass (Lolium m...
Zeymer,Juliana Soares; Corrêa,Paulo Cesar; Oliveira,Gabriel Henrique Horta de; Araujo,Marcos Eduardo Viana de; Magalhães,Diana SoaresABSTRACT Studies about the thermodynamic properties of ryegrass seeds are necessary to improve post-harvest processes, relating the factors that affect product quality with the interaction between water and its chemical components. Given the importance of recognizing and understanding the intrinsic behavior of water in ryegrass seeds and providing data for the improvement of industrial drying equipment, this wo...
Comparison between desorption isotherm curves of ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L...
Corrêa,Paulo Cesar; Zeymer,Juliana Soares; Oliveira,Gabriel Henrique Horta de; Araujo,Marcos Eduardo Viana de; Silva,Camilla Sena daABSTRACT It is necessary to determine the sorption isotherms of seeds to develop adequate systems of storage and drying. The chemical composition of a product affects the sorption process; products with a high oil content adsorb a lower amount of moisture from the environment than products with a high carbohydrate content. Given the importance of the hygroscopicity of different agricultural products, this work ...
Dehydration of infrared ginger slices: heat and mass transfer coefficient and m...
Corrêa,Paulo Cesar; Baptestini,Fernanda Machado; Zeymer,Juliana Soares; Araujo,Marcos Eduardo Viana de; Freitas,Rita Cristina Pereira deABSTRACT Dehydration of plant products extends its shelf life and reduces its mass and volume, which increases transport and storage efficiency and adds value to food. However, it is an intensive process in energy and time, making necessary the search for more efficient technologies, Thus, this study aimed to investigate the infrared ginger dehydration process by approaching the constant period of dehydration t...
