Journal ArticleDOI
Rheological properties of blueberry puree for processing applications
TL;DR: In this article, the Sisko model was used for describing the influence of temperature and dissolved solids on the apparent viscosity of high-bush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L) puree.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental study on transport mechanisms during deep fat frying of chicken nuggets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tried to explain the complex mass transfer mechanisms taking place during deep fat frying with respect to real time pressure variations inside chicken nuggets and found that the MC-coated nuggets had lower fat uptake and moisture loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
NMR imaging of continuous and intermittent drying of pasta
TL;DR: In this paper, an NMR imaging technique was adapted to investigate the role of glass transition on Fickian and non-Fickian modes of moisture transport in pasta, and the modified technique allowed measuring the moisture distribution in samples with initial moisture content from 10% to 50% or higher.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory and Applications of Macroscale Models in Porous Media
Ilenia Battiato,Peter T. Ferrero,Daniel O’ Malley,Daniel O’ Malley,Cass T. Miller,Pawan S. Takhar,Francisco J. Valdés-Parada,Brian D. Wood +7 more
TL;DR: An overview of common upscaling methods used to formally derive macroscale equations from pore-scale conservation laws is presented, which includes the volume averaging method, mixture theory, thermodynamically constrained averaging, homogenization, and renormalization group techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of temperature fluctuations on ice-crystal growth in frozen potatoes during storage
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of temperature fluctuations on ice recrystallization in frozen potatoes was investigated using micro computed tomography, growth in pore area due to increase in ice crystal sizes was determined.
