A. M. Matouk; M. M. El - Kholy; Solaf Abd El - Raheam Journal of Soil Sciences and Agricultural Engineering /Journal of Soil Sciences and Agricultural Engineering 2012. doi:10.21608/jssae.2012.54379
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Sunflower seed drying occurred in the falling rate period, where evaporation slows as moisture content decreases.
- Association Moisture removal from sunflower seeds was rapid and increased at higher heating surface temperature and longer exposure time.
- Observation A simple equation described sunflower seed drying behavior and predicted the change in seed moisture content, with a higher coefficient of determination.
- Intervention effect High temperature conduction heating reduced the fungal load on sunflower seeds.
- Recommendation Heating at 145 C for 15 min is recommended to decrease sunflower seed moisture content to a safe 5.8% (w.b.).
- Recommendation Heating at 145 C for 15 min is recommended to decrease the fungal load on sunflower seeds to 102 colonies/g.
- Recommendation Heating at 145 C for 15 min is recommended to decrease the free fatty acid percentage of sunflower oil to 1.97%.
