Effect of Drying Characteristics of Garlic

  Natural sun drying is one of the most common ways to preserve agricultural product. the most purpose in drying farm manufacture is to reduce its water activity from the harvest level to the safe storage level in order to increase its shelf life. Once the product has been dried, its rate of deterioration because of respiration, insects, and microbial activity and biochemical reactions should diminish resulting in maintenance of quality of the stored product. It does improve bargaining position of the farmer to keep up comparatively constant value of his product. Drying reduces post-harvest losses and transportation prices since most of the water are taken out from the product throughout the   drying method . In India, sun drying is the most typically used technique to dry the agricultural material like grains, fruits and vegetables. In sun drying, the garlic is spread in a very skinny layer on the bottom and exposed on to solar radiation, ambient temperature, wind velocity, relative h

Continuous Granulation and Drying Techniques Trends

  The term “continuous” is applied to all production or manufacturing processes that run with a continuous flow. With that definition,   continuous processing of solid  dosage products in the   pharmaceutical industry   means starting the process from the synthesis of API to the final packaging of tablets or capsules 24/7 all year-round. The pharmaceutical industry has been slow to adopt or even consider the concept of continuous processing, even though its value has already been proven in other industries—polymer, food, dairy, electronics, automobile and petrochemical/chemical—which have implemented fully  continuous production  processes for many years. The pharmaceutical industry is also dominated by batch processes due to the smaller amounts that must be processed compared to other industries. The small material quantities available during the development stage also dictate the use of a batch process during the design phase of the formulation and manufacturing process, and these sa
