Potential of nightsky nocturnal radiative cooling as a fresh produce preservation method
(2007-07-30)
Abstract: The change in water temperature in horizontally placed pans exposed to the night-sky radiation was monitored at night between the hours of 8:00pm and 6:00am. The effect of varying the quantity of water in the pan ...
A study of yield characteristics during mechanical oil extraction of preheated and ground soybeans
(2007)
Abstract: Soybeans were extracted for oil by compressing a ground sample at various operating pressures, pressing durations and product bulk temperatures. The oil yield from the various operations was measured and expressed ...
Evaluation of the effect of ripening on the sensory quality and properties of tamarillo (Cyphomandra betaceae) fruits
(Elsevier, 2007-03-31)
Tamarillo (Cyphomandra betaceae) fruits were sourced from a single farmer from the Central province of Kenya soon after harvesting. The fruits were then cleaned and sorted in order to remove all immature and damaged fruits. ...
