Colour change is a common physical phenomenon observed during drying, which need to be controlled since it directly affects consumer acceptance of dried products. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using computer vision, combined with laser light backscattering analysis at 650 nm ...

Cassava is a significant food security and industrial crop, contributing as food, feed and industrial biomass in Africa, Asia and South America. Breeding efforts have led to the development of cassava variants having desirable traits such as increased root, flour, and starch yield, reduced toxici...

Freeze-drying represents a very effective method to significantly prevent loss of nutrients, especially heat-sensitive compounds.
Moreover, osmotic dehydration is frequently applied prior to drying in order to facilitate moisture removal and improve quality. In the present study, the effect of os...

Drying of agricultural products is a critical and energy-intensive processing step in the production of many foodstuffs. During convective drying, products are highly susceptible to thermal damage. In recent years, novel techniques have been established
based on optical scattering due to the inte...
