“…This collapse might have been due to bending and sinking of the wet bead material into itself, since it is composed mostly of water and its evaporation creates a space into which the solid matrix can sink. A similar shape has been observed with other powders, for example, soy protein, or upon drying of peas or other moieties . In addition, the inclusion of water within the crosslinked network and its removal by drying results in a reduction in the dried bead's volume relative to its wet bead counterpart.…”

Hydrocolloid capsules are common chemical carriers used in many types of applications in foods, biotechnology, and agriculture. Alginate microbeads and macrobeads are some of the more prevalent types of hydrocolloid capsules. Most studies to date have focused on alginate carrier applications but only a few have looked at their bioavailability after use. In this study, alginate carriers were subjected to simulated field conditions and their biodegradation in the soil was evaluated by respiration measurements, visualization, and volatile solids reduction. Using respiration rate, the degradation rate was calculated at 32 AE 3.1% (w/w) after 2 months. The visually estimated volume and volatile solids reduction gave degradation rates of 40 AE 8.6% (v/v) and 22.5 AE 2.5% (w/w), respectively. Moreover, water-loss calculations suggested that the carriers can serve as a stand-alone soil amendment for water retention. These findings emphasize the importance of studying hydrocolloid bioavailability in the soil and alginate carrier suitability for future applications.

“…Thus, the model was extremely significant. When the significant level was 0.05, the P values of X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , X 2 X 4 , X 2 1 and X 2 3 were less than 0.05, indicating that they had a significant effect on the crack additional percentage. The rest of the terms were insignificant.…”

“…Paddy, the world's third-most productive agricultural crop after corn and sugarcane, is one of the most important grains in terms of human nutrition and caloric intake, accounting for more than 20% of the world's food energy consumption. [1] With the progress of science and technology and the enrichment of drying theory, various drying methods and dryers have been developed [2][3][4] , such as the horizontal rotary dryer [5] , the industrial fluidized bed drying of paddy [6] , and the industrial inclined bed dryer. [7] Hot air is a commonly used drying medium for all those technologies introduced.…”

In this paper, a model for controlling paddy drying by incorporating accumulated temperature is introduced and defined. Drying experiments using freshly harvested paddy were conducted at different levels of drying air parameters including temperature (T = 27°C, 31°C, 35°C, 39°C, and 43°C), relative humidity (RH = 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, and 65%), initial moisture content (M 0 = 17%, 19%, 21%, 23%, and 25%) and airspeed (V = 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8 m s −1). When T = 31°C, RH = 60%, M 0 = 19%, and V = 0.5 ms −1 , the crack additional percentage reached a minimum value of 0.508%, with the average precipitation rate at 0.719%•h. Further, an accumulated temperature and quality chart was provided in this paper. The x-coordinate of this chart is temperature, and the initial moisture content represents the y-coordinate. It covers the drying conditions of the actual dryer well and has a wide range of applicability for real-world environment. The model developed in this study not only provides a scientific reference for precise drying and intelligent control of paddy but also guide the actual drying operation.

“…This procedure was repeated until moisture content was decreased to 20% (w.b.) [17]. After drying process, the product was cooled for 10 minutes and then it was kept in air glass jars for one week by the time color and rehydration measurements were carried out [18].…”

A photovoltaic energy-assisted industrial dryer has been analyzed. The dryer has been tested in various weather and working conditions with 3 kg of green peas from 75.6% initial moisture content to 20% final moisture content (w.b.). The effect of various drying air temperatures at three levels (40, 50, and 60 ∘ C) and two distinct air velocities (3 m/s and 4 m/s) was examined. Drying performance was assessed with regard to criteria including drying kinetics, specific and total energy consumption, and color and rehydration ratio. The results have proved that total drying duration reduces as air velocity rate and drying air temperature raise. Relying upon the drying durations, the generation performances of photovoltaic panels were between 5.261 and 3.953 W. On the other part, energy consumptions of dryer were between 37.417 and 28.111 W. The best specific energy consumption was detected in 50 ∘ C at 3 m/s for 600 minutes with 7.616 kWh/kg. All drying conditions caused darkening as color parameters. Rehydration assays have showed that rehydrated green peas attained higher capacity with raised air temperature and air velocity.
