Effect of intermittent drying on the energy consumption and physiological quality of soybean seeds

Abstract

mental crises that are approaching and progressing today are the result of intensified industrial development-including climate change (global warming, greenhouse gases, etc.,), air pollution, and water issues (Nawi et al., 2016). In this context, scientists and studies are increasingly focusing on energy efficiency and reliability policies (Unver & Kara, 2019), in order to develop the alternative methods that contribute to the reduction of energy consumption. Drying is one of the oldest and most important ways to preserve and store different types of materials, especially food. Moreover, this process describes a complex process of heat and mass transfer to reduce the moisture content of food materials (Babu et al., 2018; Raghavi et al., 2018). In this context, dry products are more stable to

Postharvest engineering: Effects of drying and storage operations on the quality of processed soybeans

“…In soybean grains, the drying intermittency, combined with temperatures below 40°C, minimizes physical damage to the products, mainly by reducing the grain thermal and moisture stress (Jung & Yoon, 2018). Moreover, a study showed that the application of intermittence at a drying temperature of 70°C reduces the process energy consumption by approximately 46% (Bissaro et al, 2020). Consequently, other process variables, such as drying time, are determining factors for the process performance.…”
