Impacts Of Postharvest Temperature Exposure Profiles On Rice Physicochemical Properties, Seth Graham-Acquaah
Impacts Of Postharvest Temperature Exposure Profiles On Rice Physicochemical Properties, Seth Graham-Acquaah
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Heated-air drying followed by tempering (HAT) is effective for increasing rough-rice drying rates without compromising head rice yield (HRY). However, heat exposure could affect rice end-use properties. Hypothesizing that the total amount of heat exposure incurred by rice during heated-air drying determines the trend and magnitude of changes in end-use properties, this dissertation sought to 1) characterize the effects of drying and tempering regimen on changes in end-use properties, 2) derive an index to quantify and compare the amount of heat exposure that rice kernels incur during active drying and, 3) relate values of this index to changes in rice …

Design And Experiment Of Box Type Hot Air Drier For Fruits And Vegetables Based On Temperature And Humidity Control, Ju Hao-Yu, Zhao Hai-Yan, Yu Xian-Long, Zhang Wei-Peng, Wang Hui, Gao Zhen-Jiang, Xiao Hong-Wei
Food and Machinery
The box type hot air dryer with controlled temperature and humidity was designed. The drying machine mainly consists of internal recycle fan, heating system, humidifying equipment, weighing unit, and automatic control system. The experiment result showed that under 60 ℃ and 20% relative humidity, internal temperature and relative humidity were uniform and drying time was consistent in different positions with no significant differences. The material temperature changing curves seemed to be consistent under the same enthalpy value drying condition. Additonally, step-down relative humdity dyring method improve drying efficient a lot.
Low Energy Consumption Drying Device For Food Based On Integration Of Membrane Distillation And Liquid Desiccant Dehumidification, Gui Da-Li, Chen Dong, Fan Jia-Qi, Xie Ji-Hong
Low Energy Consumption Drying Device For Food Based On Integration Of Membrane Distillation And Liquid Desiccant Dehumidification, Gui Da-Li, Chen Dong, Fan Jia-Qi, Xie Ji-Hong
Food and Machinery
A low energy consumption drying device based on integration of membrane distillation and liquid desiccant dehumidification was proposed. The basic idea was to transfer the moisture in the material to the liquid desiccant by the dehumidifying-drying unit, and then the moisture absorbed by the liquid desiccant was separated and removed by liquid desiccant regeneration unit. Based on a brief introduction to the structure and principle of the device, an estimation formula for SMER (Specific moisture extraction rate) of the device was given and the SMER of the device can reach 6.36 kg/(kW·h) under typical operating conditions. An experimental device for …

Globally, rice producers are faced with the temporal problem of deciding the optimal time to harvest rice. When harvested, paddy rice is typically at a harvest moisture content (HMC) between 15% and 22% and subsequently dried by the mill to a moisture content (MC) of 12.5%. Riceland Foods Inc., the largest miller of rice in the world, uses a stair-step pricing model to charge farmers to dry, which can complicate the timing of harvest as producers try to balance the tradeoff of minimizing drying costs by waiting to harvest at lower HMC vs. maintaining higher rice quality typically observed when …
