Electromagnetic Energy in Food Processing



 The use of electromagnetic energy in food processing is considered with respect to food safety, nutritional quality, and organoleptic quality. The results of nonionizing radiation sources such as microwave and radio-frequency energy and ionizing radiate on sources.

Nonionizing microwave energy sources are more and more used in home and industrial food processing and are well-accepted by the end users. But, even though new-fangled Food and Drug Administration approval of low and intermediate ionizing radiation dose levels for grains and further plants products.

Microwave and radio frequency energy are allotments of the electromagnetic spectrum that can redeem heat to foods selectively and systematically. Explicitly, microwaves interrelate with water in foods to heat preponderant those allotments that are wet.

End users are usual with microwave ovens as household appliances used to warm and cook foods, defrost frozen foods, and pop popcorn. On an industrial scale, microwaves have been used to temper frozen ingredients and have been considered for drying applications, without great success.

The use of electromagnetic energy, especially microwave and radio frequency energy, for industrial processing of food is given renewed attention. Electromagnetic energy exhibits unique properties, like fast and differential heating, which can be of advantage, e.g. for improverneut of process efficiency and product quality.

Application of Electromagnetic Energy :

  • Microwave Ovens
  • Radio Frequency
  • Sterilization

Different Types of Sterilization Process

  Sterilization can be accomplished by an amalgamation of heat, chemicals, irradiation, high pressure and filtration such as steam under pressure, dry heat, ultraviolet radiation, gas vapour sterilants, chlorine dioxide gas etc. Successful sterilization strategies are necessary for working in a lab and negligence of this could lead to severe consequences, it could unexpectedly cost a life. So what are the more frequently utilized methods of sterilization in the laboratory, and how do they work? The Sterilization is conveyed out by the methods according to requirement. The methods are: 1. Moist Heat Sterilization 2. Dry Heat Sterilization 3. Gas Sterilization and Others. Moist Heat Sterilization:  Moderate pressure is utilized in steam sterilization. Steam is utilized under pressure as a means of accomplishing an elevated temperature. It is dominant to confirm the accurate quality of steam is utilized in order to keep away the problems which follow, superheating of the steam, f...

Application and Popular Uses of Graphite

  Graphite, archaically referred to as plumbago, is a crystalline type of the element carbon with its atoms organized in a very hexagonal structure. It happens naturally during this kind and is the most stable kind of carbon under standard conditions. Under high pressures and temperatures it converts to diamond. Graphite is utilized in pencils and lubricants. It’s a good conductor of heat and electricity. Its high conductivity makes it helpful in electronic product like electrodes, batteries, and solar panels. The principal types of natural graphite, each occurring in different types of ore deposits, are A crystalline small flake of graphite (or flake graphite) occurs as isolated, flat, plate-like particles with hexagonal edges if unbroken. When broken the edges can be irregular or angular; Amorphous graphite: very fine flake graphite is sometimes called amorphous; Lump graphite (or vein graphite) occurs in fissure veins or fractures and appears as massive platy intergrowths of fib...

Drying Ginger by Hot Air Circulation Drying Oven

  Ginger is a perennial creeping plant, with thick tuberous rhizome, manufacturing and erect stem 30-100cm tall. It’s propagated from rhizome cuttings, planted on rich, well-drained soil. The top five ginger producing countries in the world are India, China, Nepal, Nigeria, and Thailand. India, with a production of 7.03 billion, leads in the world ginger cultivation. The subsequent 2 countries are `China and Nepal, with the production of 4.25 billion and 2.55 billion, respectively. The first known constituents of ginger root include starch, gingerols, zingibain, oleoresins, essential oil, mucilage, and protein. The dried type of ginger, ginger powder, is utilized as a spice. And its extracts, ginger oil, are utilized in beverages and confectionery. Ø Advantages of Ginger Dehydration Enhance ginger's value Fresh or raw ginger promotes sweating and dispersing exterior cold. While dried ginger is more effective in warming spleen and stomach and expelling interior cold. Therefor...
