Determination of Drying Constants of Some Selected Roots and Tubers IJTSRD
In an attempt to easily determine the desired moisture content at any time t , of selected freshly harvested roots and tubers yellow cassava, carrot, cocoyam and yam of economic importance subjected to drying under unsteady temperature conditions such as sun drying, especially in the rural areas where there is no electricity or funds availability […]
Assessment of Bioactive Activity of Blackberry Seed Extract IJTSRD
The aim of this study was to determine the bioactive activity of the blackberry (Rubus laciniatus) seed extracts. Total phenolic and total antioxidant activity of blackberry seed extracts were assessed with respect to two extracting solvents (absolute ethanol and absolute acetone) and two extracting techniques (hot extraction at 40°C and cold extraction at 26°C). Proximate […]
Modeling of Water Absorption by Dried Palm Nut Soaked at Room Temperature IJTSRD
In cracking palm nuts by application of appropriate impact energy, one of the predominant factors that would enhance the release of either high percentage of whole or split kernels is the percentage level of moisture content in the nuts. The split kernels encourage rancidity of oil since the oily surface of the kernel is exposed […]
Injector Based Smart Vada Maker IJTSRD
A compact table-top automatic Vada making a machine for use at lunch counters, in-store bakery counters, small bakeries, and the like, where freshly cooked vada are sold in moderately large volume. The machine is particularly adaptable to varying volume requirements, being an adjustable crank mechanism employed in the system. The machine includes a generally rectangular […]
Modeling the Process of Extraction of Oilseed Material in a Unit with Critical Carbon Dioxide IJTSRD
The mathematical model of process of extraction of an oilseed material in the units with critical carbonic gas was developed. On the basis of this model researches are conducted and schedules of change of concentration of oil in firm both liquid phases and decrease of concentration of oil in quasilayers are gained at different coefficients […]
