The minimal processing product industry is the fastest growing area in agribusiness. This area deals with fresh vegetable cuts that are delivered peeled, sliced, sanitized and totally edible. The minimal processing industry generates large amount of leavings (peels, seeds, cuttings, stems, skins, etc..,). This disposal, made in an unbridled and inappropriate way, has been a big nuisance c…
The objectives of present research work are to adequate and to test the agitator/mixer dryer, industrial patent no 0506639-5, supported by FAPESP. The dryer consists in a cylindrical body with perforated bottom, which admits drying air to interior of cylinder after crossing the plenum. The flow of product is permitted by rotation of flat plate connected in axis moved by gear reducer. In t…
Drying, as an important process in product conservation, has a direct influence on post-harvest processes. The heat pump dryer is an air heating and dehumidification system which uses refrigeration cycles to allow the drying process, in order to increase the shelf life of the products, facilitating storage and transport processes. However, high temperatures of convective drying processes …
Currently, there is a great worldwide concern in finding alternatives to the consumption of plastic materials and the large generation of agricultural and agro-industrial waste, since the its accumulation in the environment has brought serious environmental problems. Given this need to exclude the use of plastic products in the handling and storage of food, such as based on the Senate Bil…
