Assessment of mathematical models of drying of jabuticaba peels through performance indicators

Abstract

Brazil is a country with a huge diversity of native fruits, and one of them is jabuticaba. The jabuticaba peel is the main part of the fruit due to the high level of bioactive compounds besides fibers and minerals. Therefore, it is necessary to use this residue that can be reused for several purposes, such as extraction of anthocyanins for production of natural food coloring and phenolics compounds which can be used to produce extracts with antioxidants properties. Drying technology is applied with the objective of increasing the shelf life of the jabuticaba skin which has a high level of water. In the present work, an evaluation of mathematical drying models through performance indicators which were accuracy factor (Af), bias factor (Bf), root mean square error (RMSE) and standard error of prediction (%SEP) was done for studying the drying kinetic of the jabuticaba pell. The drying process was conducted in a convective tray dryer at 43 ⁰C for 352 min with final moisture content of 3.64% in dry basis. According to the results, the two terms model and the Midilli model were the ones that better fitted the experimental data, and the

Drogas psicoativas no contexto de trabalho do professor de escola pública

“…O espaço educativo não se limita a empreendimentos para a construção do conhecimento, mas também à formação de pessoas capazes de agir com compreensão das próprias ações 16 . Desta forma, torna-se necessário instrumentalizar os professores para lidar com a problemática de drogas, visto que muitos não possuem recursos em termos de disponibilidade pessoal e informação suficientes para gerenciar no cotidiano escolar as demandas relacionadas à essa questão 17 .…”
