Author(s) : LAI C. K., CHEN G. H., LO M. C.

Summary

These proceedings contain 65 papers presented at this conference, held in Bangkok, Thailand. The goal of this conference was to provide a forum for presentation and a discussion of the current and new developments in drying technology. Extract from the table of contents: keynote lectures (role of innovation in drying technologies of the future; freeze-drying for preparation of carbon cryogel microspheres as adsorbents for energy-efficient gas separation; optimising solar drying to freeze-drying: which path to choose? drying and food quality; fluidised bed grain drying; novel fluidized bed drying technology; fundamentals of timber drying); driers and drying equipment; drying of food materials (drying characteristics of green mango fruits; drying and powdering of carrots; the effect of solid fraction on freeze-drying rate of fruits and vegetables; influence of temperature and air velocity on drying time and quality parameters of pistachio; modelling coffee drying using product time-temperature history; solar drying of banana); drying theory and kinetics (prediction of drying rates using artificial neural networks; drying kinetics and quality of shrimp undergoing two-stage superheated steam and heat pump drying; chemical heat pump drying in the heat storing step; moisture sorption isotherms of maize from N. E. China at sub-zero temperatures; control of microwave vacuum drier by means of fuzzy logic); drying of non-food materials (salinity effect on freeze-thaw conditioning of activated sludge with and without chemical addition; the effects of temperature and velocity on drying rate in superheated steam drying of EFB fibres); miscellaneous topics (effect of far-infrared radiation and tempering on subsequent drying of paddy by fluidization technique). The paper proceedings contain a CD-ROM which includes abstracts, index and full papers in pdf format.
