The purpose of this research is to investigate the kinetics of nutrient quality (Vitamin C (Vc), reducing sugar and total acidity) change of winter jujube slices that under different drying temperatures (55, 60, 65 and 70?) and different air velocities (3, 6 and 9m/s) during the air-impingement drying process. Results showed that the content of Vc, reducing sugar and total acidity decreased with increasing drying time. Furthermore, analysis of variances indicated that the drying temperature, air velocity and time had a significant effect on the loss of Vc, reducing sugar and total acidity (p<0.05). Zero order, first order and Weibull models were used to fit the experimental data, Weibull model was considered as the most suitable one to the degradation kinetics of Vc, reducing sugar and total acidity in dried samples at different temperatures and air velocities. According to the Arrhenius formula, the activation energy of Vc, reducing sugar and total acidity degradation kinetics were 63.78 kJ/mol, 36.48 kJ/mol and 153.51 kJ/mol, respectively. This research can provide some references for enhancing dried products quality in the jujube drying industry.

Drying kinetics of Malaysian Moringa oleifera leaves was investigated using a convective-air dryer. The drying parameters were: temperature (40, 50, 60, 70 °C), air velocity (1.3 m s<sup>–1</sup>, 1.7 m s<sup>–1</sup>). The drying process took place in the falling rate period and there was an absence of a constant rate period in this experiment. Six mathematical models (Lewis, Henderson and Pabis, Wang and Singh, Peleg, Page, and logarithmic) were selected for the description of drying characteristics of the leaves. The Wang and Singh model was determined as the best model based on the highest overall coefficient determinant (R<sup>2</sup>) and the lowest overall root mean square error (RMSE). The effective diffusivity (D<sub>eff</sub><sub> </sub>) was also calculated which was in the range of 3.98 × 10<sup>–11</sup> m<sup>2</sup> s<sup>–1</sup> to 1.74 × 10<sup>–10</sup> m<sup>2</sup> s<sup>–1. </sup>An Arrhenius relation was constructed to determine the activation energy for the samples in the convective air dryer. The activation energy for M. oleifera leaves was 39.82 kJ mol<sup>–1</sup> and 33.13 kJ mol<sup>–1</sup> at drying velocities of 1.3 m s<sup>–1</sup> and 1.7 m s<sup>–1</sup>, respectively.

Abstract The paper presents a kinetic study of solar dried mint (Mentha spicata L.) without any pre-treatment. Mint grows effortlessly in Kashmir valley but is not obtainable throughout the year because of inconsiderate weather conditions. The genus belongs to the Labiatae family and includes large varieties with different properties. A significant quality parameter is its colour. The drying kinetics of mint leaves dried in Domestic Solar Dryer in terms of colour attributes, moisture content, drying time, non enzymatic browning, water activity, rehydration ratio was studied. This study is very useful for household scale drying of mint leaves to optimize drying process and to achieve superior quality dried product at home maintaining its colour and aroma.

Malt bagasse is a by-product of the brewing industry that has high moisture making it very unstable and susceptible to fast microbial deterioration. This work evaluated drying kinetic models of malt bagasse during pneumatic transport with air flow at 30, 45 and 60?C and layout of 4.5 and 7.0 m. The results showed that the decrease of moisture from malt bagasse was favored at higher air temperature due to the higher diffusion coefficient. In the ranges measured, the values of the effective moisture diffusivity and heat transfer coefficient were obtained between 2.05?10?10 to 12.74?10?10 m2/s and 175 to 363 W/m2K, respectively. Average energy for liquid diffusion in the malt bagasse drying process was 44.30 kJ/mol. Pneumatic transport with air flow at 60?C and layout of 7.0 m reached rapidly the final moisture of 12% (w.b), which it may reduce transport costs and allow long periods of stable storage for malt bagasse. The statistical tests results showed that the experimental datas presented excellent fit using the Modified Henderson-Pabis model, in the temperature range for both layouts.

Рассмотрена кинетика сушки послеспиртовой барды при 60°С. Объектом исследований была модельная смесь, состоящая из воды, белков, жиров и растворимых углеводов. Представлены результаты исследований кинетики испарения воды и смесей вода–масло, вода–белок, вода–сахар, вода–масло–белок–сахар, помещенных в чашку Петри. Процесс испарения в изотермических условиях протекал в сушильном шкафу Memmert. Установлено, что добавление вещества в воду снижает скорость испарения воды в периоде постоянной скорости сушки, в периоде падающей скорости сушки продолжительность испарения возрастает. По результатам кинетики сушки модельных смесей можно определять коэффициенты активности компонентов и проводить исследование процесса сушки реальных смесей при проектировании сушилок. The kinetics of drying of the distillery dregs at 60°C is considered. The model mixture containing water, proteins, oils and soluble carbohydrates was the object of research. The results of experimental studies of the kinetics of evaporation of water and mixtures of water-oil, water-protein, water-sugar, water-oil-protein-sugar, placed in a Petri dish, are presented. Evaporation under isothermal conditions was carried out in a Memmert drying cabinet. It is established that the addition of the substance into the water reduces the evaporation rate of water in the period of constant drying speed, the duration of evaporation in the period of falling drying speed increases. According to the results of the kinetics of drying model mixtures, it is possible to determine the activity coefficients of the components and conduct a study of the drying process of real mixtures in the design of dryers.

Abstract Over the past two decades, due to the rising energy prices and growing awareness about climate change, significant efforts have been devoted to reducing the energy consumption of various home appliances. However, the energy efficiency of clothes dryers has little improvement. Recent innovations in the direct-contact ultrasonic fabric drying technique offer new opportunities for energy saving. In this technique, high-frequency mechanical vibrations generated by the ultrasonic transducer are utilized to atomize water from a fabric in the liquid form, which demonstrates great potential for reducing energy use and drying time of the fabric drying process. Here, for the first time, fabric drying kinetics under different direct-contact ultrasonic drying conditions were investigated experimentally and analytically. The drying processes of four kinds of fabrics were experimentally tested under different ultrasonic transducer vibration frequency (115, 135, and 155 kHz) and input power (1.2, 2.5, and 4.4 W) conditions. According to the experimental data, five different kinds of models were applied to quantify the drying kinetics of fabrics during direct-contact ultrasonic drying. The models not only incorporated the transducer parameters but also the parameters related to the nature of fabric. Our evaluation results of model prediction performance demonstrated that the two empirical models, i.e., the Weibull model and the Gaussian model, were superior to the three semi-theoretical models for anticipating the drying kinetics of fabrics under direct-contact ultrasonic drying. Furthermore, the Weibull model is more suitable for practical energy-efficient direct-contact ultrasonic fabric drying applications compared with the Gaussian model.
