The objective of the study is to investigate the effects of different drying processes (convective hot air, microwave, and fluidized bed drying) and combined drying methods on the drying characteristics and physical properties of the dried wheat and the power consumption of the dryers. The lowest moisture content and water activity values were observed for the 25min of drying in fluidized bed dryer (60°C) and following 16min in microwave dryer (540W). The lowest power consumption was observed in the 60°C-180W fluidized bed-microwave combination (0.77kWh) compared to the other combined trials. Keywords: wheat; convective drying; microwave drying; fluidized bed drying intermittent drying

A new process for the production of instant red jasmine rice was investigated using fluidized bed drying with the aid of swirling compressed air. Drying characteristics were evaluated using the operating parameters of fluidizing air temperature (90–120 °C) and pressure of swirling compressed air (4–6 bar). Appropriate air pressure was determined based on the highest value of model parameters from the semi-empirical Page equation and effective diffusivity. Influences of supply time of swirling compressed air (2–10 min) and drying temperature of 90–120 °C were investigated and optimized based on the quality attributes using response surface methodology. Drying at 120 °C and compressed air pressure of 6 bar gave the highest rate constant and effective diffusion coefficient. Drying at 120 °C combined with injecting swirling air for 2 min was the most suitable approach, while drying at 90 °C and supplying compressed air for 10 min was the best choice to preserve antioxidant properties. Air temperature of 98.5 °C with 2 min supply of swirling compressed air suitably provided high physical and rehydration properties and retained high health benefits of antioxidant compounds. Finally, after rehydration in warm water at 70 °C for 10 min, the textural properties of the rehydrated rice sample were comparable to conventionally cooked rice.

Pumpkin seeds are a major agricultural waste from the fresh-cut produce industry. The objective of this study was to investigate the drying behavior of untreated, whole pumpkin seeds in a fluidized bed dryer at 50–80 °C (2.87 m/s), with a view to producing a high-quality pumpkin powder from dried seeds. Seeds were dried at 50–80 °C to an average equilibrium moisture value of 0.035 to 0.006 g H2O/g DM (3.4 to 0.6% wb). Drying occurred in the falling rate period only and drying rate constants ranged from 0.0226 to 0.0900 1/min with corresponding diffusivity values for the first falling-rate period ranging from 4.68 to 18.63 × 10−10 m2/s. The activation energy (Ea)—for the first falling rate period was determined to be 43.9 kJ/mol. Of the nineteen thin layer models tested, the Alibas model could be successfully used as a general model to predict the Moisture Ratio (MR) data for all temperatures investigated. After drying, seeds were blended to produce powders, which were found to be high in fat, crude protein and fiber.
