Experiments in Unit Operations and Processing of Foods. Book January 2008 with 156 Reads. DOI 10.1007/978-0-387-68642-4. Freezing is a unit operation where the temperature of the food is decreased. Cleland and Earle, in 1979, proposed new changes to the Plank equation. Identify, in the unit operations that they were intimately familiar with, microbial food safety issues that are found to be common to but not necessarily exclusive to lettuce/leafy greens. Thermal processing implies the controlled use of heat to increase, or reduce depending on circumstances, the rates of reactions in foods. A common example is the retorting of canned foods to effect sterilization.

Drying is a dehydration process to preserve agricultural products for long period usage. The most common and cheapest method is open sun drying in which the products are simply laid on ground, road, mats, roof, etc. But the open sun drying has some disadvantages like dependent on good weather, contamination by dust, birds and animals consume a considerable quantity, slow drying rate and damages due to strong winds and rain. To overcome these difficulties solar dryers are developed with closed environment for drying agricultural products effectively. To obtain good quality food with reduced energy consumption, selection of appropriate drying process and proper input parameters is essential.
Appendices
In recent years several researchers across the world have developed new drying systems for improving the product quality, increasing the drying rate, decreasing the energy consumption, etc. Some of the new systems are fluidized bed, vibrated fluidized bed, desiccant, microwave, vacuum, freeze, infrared, intermittent, electro hydrodynamic and hybrid dryers. Superior drummer custom and vintage keygen. In this review the most recent progress in the field of drying of agricultural food products such as new methods, new products and modeling and optimization techniques has been presented. Challenges and future directions are also highlighted. The review will be useful for new researchers entering into this ever needed and ever growing field of engineering. Export citation and abstract.
