Experimental studies of dehydration were conducted using Tray dryer and Microwave Oven. Total six treatments were used. Three temperatures (40, 50, & 60 0C) in case of Tray Dryer and three heating time intervals (10 sec., 1 min, & 2 min.) in case of Microwave oven.Total time of dehydration of Coriander using Tray drying at different temperatures of drying was found that total duration required for drying of Coriander to final moisture content was 11 hours for temperature of 40 0C, that for 50 0C it was 5.5 hours and for 60 0C it was 3.5 hours. Total time of dehydration of Coriander using...

The newly developed pasteurizer was tested at raw milk inlet temperature of 2, 4, 6 and 8 degree Centigrade and total milk solids of 15 and 18 %. The pasteurization temperature of 78 to 80 degree Centigrade for 20 seconds was used for the testing. The pasteurizer was tested for overall heat transfer coefficient, regeneration efficiency, total heat load and pressure drop. The temperature, pressure and milk flow rates were recorded at an interval of 5 minute during operation through PLC system. The calculated values for the regeneration efficiency, logarithmic mean temperature difference,...
