TL;DR: In this paper, a physical description of the shrinkage mechanism and a classification of the different models proposed to describe this behaviour in food materials undergoing dehydration is presented. But, the authors do not consider the effect of porosity change on the quality of the dehydrated product and should be taken into consideration when predicting moisture and temperature profiles in the dried material.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified diffusional model was used to estimate the coefficients for ternary solutions of both solutes, for the range of concentration and temperature studied, by means of a ''parallel flow'' model.

TL;DR: In this article, microstructural changes in cells of Ruby grape (Vitis vinifera) quarters were monitored during first stage of convective air drying, under a stereo-microscope.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the tape-casting technique to scale-up the production of cassava starch-based films and found that it is a suitable technology to produce films with high shear rates.

TL;DR: Extraction parameters (temperature, pH, duration) and alkaline pre-treatment duration have been systematically varied in the aim of exploring their impact on both chemical structure and gelling properties of carrageenan biopolymers obtained from Mastocarpus stellatus seaweeds.
