AB  - This study investigates the effects of ultrasound, in combination with chemical pretreatments, on the quality attributes (total phenolic and carotenoid content, antioxidant activity (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay (DPPH)), ferric-reducing ability (FRAP), CIE L* a* b* color, non-enzymatic browning, rehydration ratio, textural and morphological properties) of red pepper subjected to drying (hot air drying or freeze drying). The fractional factorial design was used to assess the impact of factors. The global Derringer desirability function was used to determine the optimal conditions for the best quality attributes of dried pepper. The drying method influenced total phenolic content, a* (redness), and initial rehydration ratio; pretreatment time significantly affected FRAP antiradical activity, a*, chroma and non-browning index, while pH-value had a significant effect on the texture of dried pepper. Non-enzymatic browning was reduced to 72.6%, while the DPPH antioxidant capacity of freeze-dried peppers was enhanced from 4.2% to 71.9%. Ultrasonic pretreatment led to changes in the pepper morphology, while potassium metabisulfite (KMS) was a more effective additive than citric acid.

AB  - 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a Maillard reaction product, can be formed when honey is subjected to heat treatment or a long storage time, becoming volatile and toxic depending on its concentration. The fact that, until today, there is no literature data on the extraction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from honey using ionic liquids directed the investigation of the influence of biodegradable cholinium ionic liquids on the formation of aqueous biphasic systems and the application of these systems for the extraction of HMF from honey. The influence of anions of synthesised ionic liquids on the construction of biphasic systems in which an inorganic salt was used as a salting agent was investigated. Then, the extraction of HMF in these systems was examined, and the mechanisms of HMF extraction using ionic liquids were explained using computer simulations. Examining the effect of cholinium ionic liquids (choline chloride ([Ch][Cl]), cholinium nicotinate ([Ch][Nic]), cholinium propionate ([Ch][Prop]), and cholinium butyrate ([Ch][But])) on the formation of aqueous biphasic systems by comparing the phase diagrams, it was concluded that the ability of ionic liquids to form an aqueous biphasic system with tripotassium phosphate (K3PO4) decreases in the following order: [Ch][But] z [Ch][Prop] > [Ch][Nic] > [Ch][Cl]. By applying all tested aqueous biphasic systems for the extraction of HMF from honey, an extraction efficiency of more than 89% was achieved. Complete extraction was achieved using the extraction system with [Ch][But], while the weakest ability to extract HMF was exhibited by the system with [Ch][Cl]. The mechanisms of HMF extraction using ionic liquids are explained on the basis of the optimised structures of the ionic liquid systems with HMF, together with the visualisation of noncovalent interactions, and on the basis of the calculated binding energies DGbin, which can be used as a good predictor of the extraction potential of newly synthesised ionic liquids

AB  - Spray nozzles are widely used in processing industry for spreading evenly large amount of fluids. The expansion of fluid depends on the nozzle type, the parameters of the nozzle and the characteristics of the working fluids. The experiments were performed for five fluid types used in food/pharma/animal feed application (glycerol, soybean oil, molasses, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, tara gum), three diameters of the nozzle (1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm) and three fluid temperatures (40 °C, 50 °C and 60 °C). An experimentally validated numerical model was developed, based on laminar two-phase flow, investigating different liquids, assuming the ideal gas flow, applying the finite volume method and volume of the fluid model with interface tracking. The effects of liquid parameters, nozzle diameter and liquid temperature on the characteristics of the jet were also analysed by artificial neural network model. The nozzle diameter strongly influenced the spreading characteristics of the jet, while the temperature affected the liquid viscosity. The increase of the temperature also led to the augment of the spreading angle of the fluid passing from the nozzle and also the enhancement of the spaying liquid expansion. © 2020 Institution of Chemical Engineers

AB  - The processes of transportation of bulk materials from silos and hoppers are significant in various industrial applications because of their influences on material characteristics and working parameters of the production process. In this paper, a rotating valve feeder, with eight vanes was investigated for transport action of bulk materials, such as wheat, maize and rice, which were ground, using the sieve sizes of 1, 3 and 5 mm. The rotating valve feeders under investigation have proven to be useful in transportation processes despite their construction simplicity. All investigations were done experimentally and numerically, using coupled Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics calculation (CFD). The influences of different types of bulk materials and its particle size, on the performances of the rotating valve feeder during material transport were explored. The artificial neural network was developed (in the form of a multi-layer perceptron model) in order to optimize the granular flow of the bulk material, showing the high prediction capability of bulk density, dosing time and granular material flow, with the coefficient of determination equal to 0.999 during the training period. The decreasing of the sieve opening diameter caused the decrease in bulk density of the ground material, but statistically significant only for rice, as seen from the experiments and the results of the neural network model. The 5 mm sieve ensured the material with the highest flowability, significantly increasing the granular flow and decreasing the dosing time. The granular particles were modelled as the spheres in the DEM/CFD simulation, with a small-sized triangular surfaces. The DEM/CFD prediction of the mass transport for rice, wheat and maize was quite adequate, obtaining the coefficient of determination being 0.997; 0.998 and 0.849, respectively.
