Mass and dimensional changes of single canola kernels during drying

Measurement of the geometrical features and surface color of rapeseeds using digital image analysis

“…According to Thakor, Sokhansanj, Sosulski, and Yannacopoulos (1999), canola seed diameter is 1.89 ± 0.09 mm. A comparison between these results and those obtained in the present study (Table 2) indicates that seeds of Polish rape varieties are larger, but their dimensions show higher variation.…”

Effect of dipping treatment on air drying of plums

“…The moisture ratio (MR) was simplified to M=M 0 instead of ðM À M e Þ=ðM 0 À M e Þ for long drying times (Thakor, Sokhansanj, Sosulski, & Yannacopoulos, 1999), where M is the moisture content at any time t, M 0 is the initial moisture content, and M e is the equilibrium moisture content.…”

“…(3) can be further simplified to only the first term of the series and the moisture ratio (MR) was simplified to M=M 0 instead of ðM À M e Þ=ðM 0 À M e Þ (Ramesh, Wolf, Tevini, & Jung, 2001;Thakor et al, 1999) ln…”

Mathematical modeling on hot air drying of thin layer apple pomace

“…The values of M e are relatively small compared with M or M 0 for long drying time. Thus, MR = (M À M e )/(M 0 À M e ) can be simplified to MR = M/M 0(Akgun & Doymaz, 2005;Thakor, Sokhansanj, Sosulski, & Yannacopoulos, 1999).…”
