Heat and mass transfer analogy under turbulent conditions of frying
Farinu, Adefemi (2006-08-23)Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) is a popular vegetable across the world. It is a staple food item of many countries in South America, Africa and Asia where the population depends on the crop as an important source of energy ... -
Heat and mass transfer during cooking of chickpea : measurements and computational simulation
Sabapathy, Nalaini Devi (2005-02-18)Chickpea is a food legume crop grown in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate regions. World chickpea production is roughly three times that of lentils. Among pulse crops marketed as human food, world chickpea consumption ... -
Heat and moisture migration within a porous urea particle bed
Nie, Xiaodong Rachel (2010-05)Urea is an important nitrogen fertilizer for plant nutrition, but is very susceptible to moisture sorption and caking even at low moisture contents, e.g. 0.25% w/w. When urea particles adsorb moisture followed by drying, ... -
Hydrocyclone fractionation of chickpea flour and measurement of physical and functional properties of flour and starch and protein fractions
Tabaeh Emami, Seyed Shahram (2007)Chickpea grain contains a high amount of starch and valuable protein. Many grain legumes (pulses) can be processed by pin milling and air classification with high separation efficiency. However, chickpea exhibits low ... -
Investigation of lentil seed behavior under microwave and microwave-infrared thermal treatments and their impact on modifying the physico-chemical and functional properties
Heydari Foroushani, Mohamad Mehdi; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5903-0755 (2022-04-05)The abstract of this item is unavailable due to an embargo. -
Investigations on biocomposites from oat hull and biodegradable polymers
Grewal, Ramanpreet (2016-05-17)Oat hull is an abundantly available form of biomass in Canada, which is mostly used as low-value feed material. With high fibre content, it can be used in the production of industrial products by providing opportunity as ... -
Life cycle analysis of alfalfa stem-based bioethanol production system
Sooriya Arachchilage, Kishari (2011-10-31)Alfalfa stem can be a potential feedstock for producing bioethanol. Numerous studies have been carried out to assess the conversion of different feedstocks into bioethanol, although studies related to life cycle assessment ... -
Maltogenic α-amylase modification of pulse and maize starches to enhance the functional properties and resistant starch content
Li, Jiayi; 0000-0002-6567-7149 (2021-01-20)The overarching objective of this thesis research was to modify granular lentil (LS), faba bean (FBS), pea (PS), waxy maize (WMS), normal maize (NMS) and high-amylose maize (HAMS) starches with maltogenic α-amylase (MGA) ... -
Microwave extraction of essential oils (from black pepper and coriander) at 2.46 GHz
Ramanadhan, Balasundaram (2005-10-13)Essential oils are composed of a wide range of bioactive chemical compounds. They traditionally found application as flavour, fragrances and medicinal aroma. Today, the essential oils are sought-after for innumerable ... -
Modeling and validation of the baling process in the compression chamber of a large square baler
Afzalinia, Sadegh (2005-03-09)The pressure-density relationship and the pressure distribution inside the compression chamber of a newly designed New Holland BB960 large square baler were studied for the baling of alfalfa, whole green barley, barley ... -
Moisture adsorption and spoilage characteristics of pea under adverse storage conditions
Dadgar, Samira (2005-05-02)Field pea is the most produced and exported pulse crop in Canada, and makes a major contribution to Western Canadian agricultural diversification programs. Canada is now the world largest exporter of pea, lentil and chickpea ... -
Off-farm processing : development of a forage collection scheduling model
Streeton, Helen J. (2005)The collection of straw and grasses for use in various industries is expanding, as there is a need for material in both the traditional forage markets and in the bio-products and biofuel industries. Because these materials ... -
Pre-treatment of flax fibers for use in rotationally molded biocomposites
Wang, Bei (2004-07-28)Flax fibers can be used as environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional reinforcing fibers (e.g., glass) in composites. The interest in natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites is growing rapidly due to its ... -
PREPARATION OF RAW AND TREATED FLAX STRAW SORBENT FOR OIL SPILL CLEANUP
Ghasemi, Pooya 1985- (2018-11-29)Oil spill incidents occur around the globe and recovering spilled oil from water or soil has become an important subject. One of the significant methods of oil spill cleanup is known as sorption. Most sorbents are made ... -
The regeneration of CG-4 hydrogen sulfide adsorbent by ammonia leaching
Fang, Dongmei (2006-05-16)CG-4 H2S adsorbent, an iron oxide based solid, has high sulfur capacity (20-25% w/w) and thus finds favor in users’ eyes in North America. This product, imported from CLEAN Catalysis and Purification Technologies Development ... -
Subcritical water extraction of antioxidant compounds from canola meal
Hassas Roudsari, Majid (2007)Antioxidant compounds were extracted from canola meal by subcritical water extraction (SWE), hot water (80°C) extraction and ethanolic (95%) extraction. The highest extract yields were obtained with SWE at 160°C, and the ... -
