Abstract:
... Following a review of multiscale simulation methodology, and previous examples of multiscale models from food science, we present our multiscale simulation framework MULTI3 (MULTICUBED), which is developed especially with food structuring processes in mind. This framework acknowledges the multiphase, multiphysics and multiscale nature of food structuring. The MULTICUBED framework assumes models at ...

Primary data were collected by interviewing ten of these companies. It was found that they followed the seven principles of hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) as a basis of food safety manag ...
... The effect of the rice movement and the forces acting on rice grains during abrasion in a mill is unclear limiting the development of rice milling machines. The aim of this work is to provide a numerical methodology for predicting the abrasion rate of rice to provide the basis for the design and use of rice mills and improving milling quality and efficiency. Here, the milling process was investiga ...

Abstract:
... The practice of operating machinery and equipment that are used in animal husbandry and in the processing of its products has shown low reliability of feed crushers. As of 01.01.2019, in the agricultural enterprises of the Republic of Tatarstan there are about 1200 machines for grinding feed, of which 800 pcs. are hammer crushers. Most of these crushers have a service life of 10 to 13 years and ar ...

Abstract:
... Biofilms of bacteria affect product quality and safety of food. Bacterial adhesion onto surfaces of processing equipment in contact with foods is indicated by the formation of biofilms. To date, little is known about the principles of nucleation and growth of such films. There are many factors promoting biofilms, such as food-surface contact, nature of the food product, types of bacteria, and para ...

Abstract:
... Kendu (Diospyros melanoxylon Roxb.) is an underutilized nutritious fruit found in most of the Asian countries. The proper design and development of a grading system would help in improving the utilization of the fruit. Mass-based grading is more economical than the size-based grading of fruits. The present study determines the best-suited models for predicting the Kendu mass using various physical ...

Abstract:
... This work describes the development, design, and parameter identification of a lychee peeling machine. The working principle of the machine combines two rollers with a pressing belt to separate the peel from the fruits. It was designed and its operational parameters identified on the basis of experimental data on the Thieu lychee, which currently covers about 80% of the plantation area in Vietnam. ...

Abstract:
... Biofilm formation in processing equipment can lead to higher costs due to more frequent cleaning events as well as the contamination of processed foods and is a concerning issue. It is necessary to establish new methods for the detection of biofilms formation on surfaces. The use of electrochemical microsensors for biofilm detection could be a strategy for real time biofilm control in processing e ...

Abstract:
... Reports indicate that aflatoxin contamination in almonds comprise a few highly contaminated kernels among a much larger bulk with low concentrations, hypothetically due to cross‐contamination during processing. To test this, kernels exhibiting this distribution were generated by distributing 141.5 µg of aflatoxin between 20 almonds (approximately 7 µg each) which were then mixed with 5 kg (approxi ...

Abstract:
... This work examined the effects of burst or pulsed flows on the cleaning of tank surfaces soiled by egg yolk, under alkaline conditions, using a single axis rotary spray head. Firstly, four cleaning approaches (continuous flow without pre-wetting, continuous flow with pre-wetting, pulsed flow with a shorter period, pulsed flow with a longer period) were tested on a pilot-scale tank to clean both un ...
... Fouling is unwanted deposition of materials on surfaces of processing equipment, which leads to additional capital investment and lower processing efficiency. During fuel ethanol production, fouling occurs when thin stillage is concentrated into condensed distillers solubles. Investigations of protein impact on fouling are limited despite high protein concentration in thin stillage (17–33%db). Pro ...

This study proposes and implements inverse methods to estimate fluid-to-particulate heat transfer coefficient (hfₚ) of liquid-particulate solution (sweet potato puree and chickpea) during aseptic processing. The other physical and thermal properties of food were computed using forward techniques. A statistical analysis was conducted to assess the accuracy of the estimated results and performance o ...

Abstract:
... Cleaning is an essential operation in the food and drink manufacturing sector, although it comes with significant economic and environmental costs. Cleaning is generally performed using autonomous Clean-in-Place (CIP) processes, which often over-clean, as suitable technologies do not exist to determine when fouling has been removed from the internal surfaces of processing equipment. This research ...

... South Africa has a rich record of Acheulean sites, but the Early Acheulean is thus far limited to a handful of secondary context sites. These are in the Cradle of Humankind (ca 1.7 to 1.0 Ma) in Gauteng Province in the northeast and in two site complexes in the Northern Cape Province in the interior of the country.

Abstract:
... In food and drink manufacturing, costs must be relentlessly minimised because margins for most products are low. At the same time, the business case for biorefining of lignocellulosic feedstocks has been positive in only a small number of cases. Since the two industries use similar feedstocks and processing equipment, there should be potential for significant sharing of resources for economic and ...
