Drying of Carrots in a Fluidized Bed. I. Effects of Drying Conditions and Modelling

Effect of Fluidized Bed Stirring on Drying Process of Adhesive Particles

“…A solution may be found in drying with a fluidized bed layer that is stirred [3][4][5][6][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] , in which the particle clusters are continuously disintegrated and the particles adhering to the walls of the drying chamber are swept off by the stirring process (see Table 1). …”

Preparation, Processing and Packaging of Pre-Mix for the Production of Carrot Dessert

“…Carrots and onions were suggested to be used as basic ingredients of the snacks. Reyes et al, (2002) analyzed the drying curves for 3 kg batches of carrot dice (9 x 9 x 3 mm) in a mechanically agitated fluidized bed drier operated at temperature of 70-160°C, air velocities of 1.1-2.2 m/s and stirring rates of 30-70 rpm. Moisture content and shrinking of diced carrot pieces were determined.…”

Efecto de la contracción en la cinética de secado de músculos de jamón

“…Los métodos que pueden ser utilizados son analíticos o numéricos, en función de las características de los modelos a resolver. En Tecnología de Alimentos, el método analítico más utilizado es el método de separación de variables (Bouraoi et al, 1994;Azzouz et al, 2002;Reyes et al, 2002;Frías et al, 2003). Dentro de los métodos numéricos que se usan para la resolución de modelos que no permiten la obtención de una solución analítica, se encuentran el método de las diferencias finitas (Simal et al, 1998b …”
