high quality energy saving Drying Technology of dehydrated vegetables
2018Co-Authors: Chang XiaofengAbstract:The present invention belongs to the technical field of dehydrated vegetable processing and particularly discloses a high-quality energy-saving Drying Technology of dehydrated vegetables. The high-quality energy-saving Drying Technology of the dehydrated vegetables comprises the following steps: S1, raw material processing is conducted; S2, spin-Drying is conducted: raw materials are put in a centrifugal machine to be subjected to centrifugal spin-Drying; S3, steam treatment is conducted: the centrifuged raw materials are placed in a steam room for steam treatment, and then the steam treated raw materials are cooled; S4, Drying is conducted: the steam treated raw materials are placed in a dryer for Drying for Drying time of 3-4 hours at a Drying temperature of 85-90 DEG C; and S5, detection and packaging are conducted. The provided high-quality energy-saving Drying Technology of the dehydrated vegetables can effectively prevent the vegetables from being contaminated during processing,also fully utilize Drying heat, can reuse Drying waste gas, is energy saving and environmentally protective, can also ensure that the nutrition in the vegetables cannot be lost, and ensures quality ofthe vegetables.

The Present Status of Lumber Energy-Saving Drying Technology
China Wood Industry, 2010Co-Authors: Hu Chuan-kunAbstract:The authors reviewed the present research status on lumber energy-saving Drying Technology,and summarized the recent research achievements of wood energy-saving Drying.They considered that solar Drying Technology was suitable for pre-Drying,and that phase change thermal storage was an effective way to solve the intermittent solar Drying problem.A Solar-heat pump and a solar-conventional combination were ideal Drying processes.A dehumidifier was commonly used in heat recycling and it was found that it could save up to 40%Drying energy.The oscillating-flow heat pipe applied in heat recycling was cost effective equipment and could save 20%～50% Drying energy.

Berry Drying: Mechanism, Pretreatment, Drying Technology, Nutrient Preservation, and Mathematical Models
Food Engineering Reviews, 2019Co-Authors: Yanan Sun, Min Zhang, Arun S. MujumdarAbstract:Fresh berries containing in bioactive compounds are perishable under natural conditions. Drying is one of the most effective processing techniques to extending the shelf life of berry products, and the nutrients and active components of berries can be retained to a great extent. However, the flavor and texture of the final product considerably correlate with Drying techniques. Therefore, the present reviewed work summarizes the research progress of berry Drying Technology by the perspectives of traditional Drying Technology and innovative Drying concepts and explores the research situation of convective Drying, freeze Drying, vacuum Drying, microwave Drying and innovative Drying Technology for berry Drying. The dehydration mechanism, pretreatment methods, and Drying Technology of various berries were summarized. And the effects of different Drying treatments on nutritional components of berry Drying were presented; application status of mathematical modeling employed in berry Drying was also discussed. Moreover, the research direction and development trend of berry Drying techniques in the future were pointed out, which are aimed at improving the Drying efficiency of berries, preserving the active components of berries to the greatest extent, and promoting the processing utilization of berries and economic benefits in the future to provide a reference for further research and utilization of Drying Technology.
