The effect of spray dryer inlet temperature on characterization and total phenolic content of palm sugar has been studied. The spray dryer operating conditions used were 160 ̶ 220°C inlet temperature with a feed flow rate of 2 L/hour, while for outlet temperature was 85°C. The high inlet temperature produced a higher crystallinity of sucrose and did not agglomerate and not sticky. However, the high temperature of the spray dryer inlet produced palm sugar that was browner than the low temperature one. The effect of increasing temperature of spray dryer produced irregular total phenolic. The total phenolic at 220°C was higher than 200°C. Likewise, the temperature of 180°C generated total phenolic was higher than the temperature of 160°C. The total phenolic of palm sugar analyzed in this study was quite large within the range of 49 ± 0.01 to 63.6 ± 0.01 mg of GAE/100 g samples.

Indonesia traditional beverages such as minuman jahe, kunyit asam, beras kencur, and minuman temulawak are usually made with the addition of spices. They can be served in the form of  liquid or powder. This research was aimed to study the effect of  the beverage type, addition of spices, and the form of product on their antioxidant activity. The type of sugar used in this study was palm sugar juice. Total phenolic contents were measured to  indicate the level of antioxidants. Measurement of antioxidant  activity was conducted by analyzing malonaldehyde from linoleic  acid and capturing capacity of DPPH radical. The results showed  that Indonesian traditional beverage could inhibit the oxidation of linoleic acid and capture free radicals. Free radical capturing  capacity of curcuma beverage greater than other beverages, but  the malonaldehyde (MDA) inhibitor effect was not different. Total phenolic content of curcuma tended to be higher than the other traditional beverages. The addition of spices could raise the level  of total phenolic content in beverages and increase free radical  trapping capacity. Drying the beverages into powder could reduce the levels of total phenolic content and but did not reduce the  antioxidant activity. ABSTRAKMinuman tradisional Indonesia seperti minuman jahe, kunyit  asam, beras kencur, dan minuman temulawak biasanya dibuat  dengan tambahan berbagai rempah. Minuman tersebut dapat  disajikan dalam bentuk cair maupun serbuk. Penelitian ini  bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jenis minuman,  penambahan rempah tambahan, dan bentuk minuman terhadap aktivitas antioksidan minuman. Jenis gula yang ditambahkan  adalah gula nira. Jenis antioksidan yang diuji adalah total fenolik. Pengukuran aktivitas antioksidan dilakukan dengan uji  penghambatan malonaldehid dan kapasitas penangkapan radikal  DPPH. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa minuman  tradisional Indonesia dapat menghambat oksidasi asam linoleat dan menangkap radikal bebas. Kapasitas penangkapan radikal  bebas oleh minuman temulawak lebih besar dibandingkan  minuman yang lain tetapi kemampuan penghambatan  malonaldehid (MDA) oleh minumaan tradisional tidak berbeda.  Total fenolik minuman temulawak cenderung lebih besar  dibandingkan minuman tradisional yang lain. Penambahan  rempah-rempah dapat meningkatkan kadar total fenolik  minuman dan meningkatkan kapasitas penangkapan radikal  bebas. Pembuatan minuman serbuk pada penelitian ini dapat  menurunkan kadar total fenolik tetapi tidak menurunkan aktivitas antioksidan.

CSpreadable creams are solid-oil suspensions, a mix of fats represents the oil phase, the dispersed phase consisting usually of sugar, cocoa powder, milled and roasted nuts, dried milk and whey. For improving the viscosity of the final product emulsifiers are used, most common being lecithin and mono and diglycerides. The present paper refers to a spreadable confectionery product group, creamy, proper to be eaten as it is, as well as spread on a bread slice or as a filling for cookies or chocolate cream. According to this work, the following ingredients were used: roasted sunflower kernels, sugar, palm oil, cocoa or carob powder and lecithin. The obtained product can be consumed also by persons who suffer from allergies, due the fact that sunflower seeds were replacing the peanuts or almond, the ingredients known as allergens and which are usually used in the technological process of obtaining these creams. The purpose of this study was to characterize the obtaining confectionery spreadable creams based on sunflower kernels, cocoa or carob powder. It was determined the chemical composition of the prototypes obtained, a spreadable cream having no cocoa or carob, one with cocoa and one with carob powder. The antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content of the obtained samples were also assessed.

Hylocereus lemairei (Hook.) is a plant popularly known as pitaya-purple, whose fruits are known as dragon fruit. This paper aimed to carry out the physical-chemical and chemical characterization of fermented beverages based on H. lemairei fruits. Fermented beverages were elaborated using two different commercial yeasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [Biolievito Bayanus (BB) and Arom Cuvée (AC)] and were characterized by NMR. In addition, the antioxidant capacity (DPPH and ABTS) and Total Phenolic Content (TPC) based on the Folin Ciocalteu method were determined. According to the legislation, the fermented beverages from BB and AC showed alcoholic levels of 12.9 and 12.5% (v/v) and pH of 3.9 and 3.8, respectively. The chemical compounds of both beverages were similar, whose major organic compounds are glycerol, myo-inositol, tyrosol, and citric and succinic acids. According to the DPPH and TPC evaluation, BB beverage (248.3 µM TE and 117.6 mg GAE L-1) presented higher antioxidant capacity when compared to the BC beverage (219.8 µM TE and 108.4 mg GAE L-1). In the ABTS assay, both beverages were not statistically different (p < 0.05). Tyrosol may be responsible for increasing the antioxidant capacity and phenolic compounds content when compared to the control juice used to prepare fermented beverages.

This paper investigates the thermodynamic framework of a three-bed advanced adsorption chiller, where the mass recovery scheme has been utilized such that the performances of this chiller could be improved and a CFC-free-based sorption chiller driven by the low-grade waste heat or any renewable energy source can be developed for the next generation of refrigeration. Silica gel-water is chosen as adsorbent-refrigerant pair. The three-bed adsorption chiller comprises with three sorption elements (SEs), one evaporator and one condenser. The configuration of SE1 and SE2 are identical, but the configuration of SE3 is taken as half of SE1 or SE2. Mass recovery process occurs between SE3 with either SE1 or SE2 and no mass recovery between SE1 and SE2 occurs. The mathematical model shown herein is solved numerically. In the present numerical solution, the heat source temperature variation is taken from 50 to 90ºC along with coolant inlet temperature at 30ºC and the chilled water inlet temperature at 14ºC. A cycle simulation computer program is constructed to analyze the influence of operating conditions (hot and cooling water temperature) on COP (coefficient of performance), SCP (specific cooling power), η (chiller efficiency) and chilled water outlet temperature.

The structure of the two-phase flow produced by a SNECMA/GEAE CFM-56 swirl cup is characterized using flow visualization and phase Doppler interferometry. Three operating conditions are examined, corresponding to 3.5, 7, and 15% power levels for the engine. Detailed measurements are obtained for the 3.5 and 7% power conditions. The results obtained are contrasted to previous results obtained in an idealized environment with the goal of assessing the relevance of such data to practical conditions. The results reveal that the increase in power has little impact upon the general structure of the flow and that even the atmospheric results provide the basic structure associated with the actual conditions. This is attributed to the similarity in pressure drop for each of the cases considered. Increasing power does lead to a systematic reduction in drop size despite exceeding crossover points for the duplex atomizer used. This difference is attributed primarily to inlet temperature changes.

Solar thermal electric power and industrial process heat systems may require a constant outlet temperature from the collector field. This constant temperature is most efficiently maintained by adjusting the circulating fluid flow rate. Successful tuning of analog or digital controllers requires a knowledge of system dynamics. Models relating deviations in outlet temperature to changes in inlet temperature, insolation, and fluid flow rate illustrate the basic responses and the distributed-parameter nature of line-focus collectors. When plotted in dimensionless form, the frequency response of a given collector is essentially independent of the operating conditions, suggesting that feedback controller settings are directly related to such easily determined quantities as collector gain and fluid residence time.

Nowadays, under unstable prices scenarios, the oil and gas industry is looking for improvement in its production processes, either by increasing the production and/or lowering the operational costs. Aircoolers, particularly, are key equipments in the natural gas industry, and are frequently the bottleneck of gas conditioning processes. To improve air cooling efficiency and increase their gas volume capacity, several solutions are commonly implemented such as: fan blade angle change, air inlet section modification, fogging cooling system, among others. The present study shows the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis of an air cooler, under an air flow with an evaporative cooling system, in order to quantify the effect of this cooling process on its overall equipment performance. Simulations were carried out using sing the ANSYS CFX v-14® software, in a simplified multidomain which consider fluid and solid blocks: 1.- External two-phase flow (air + water droplets) with heat and mass transfer 2.- Heat transfer through the pipe wall 3.- Single phase natural gas flow inside the tubes In order to stablish an operational range of the fogging system, the influence of parameters like: inlet temperature and relative humidity of the air, water flow rate, water droplets mean diameter, water injection position, were studied [9, 10]. The results show a good agreement (around 5%) respect to the reported values on the literature. The best performance for the equipment was reported with a droplet diameter of 20 μm and for low relative humidity (less than 65%), which guarantees the complete evaporation of the droplets within the studied domain. For the analyzed operating conditions, a reduction of the gas outlet temperature of up to 1.5°C can be achieved.
