ENERGY-EFFICIENT MODES OF DRYING OF COLLOIDAL CAPILLARY-POROUS MATERIALS

Drying is one effi cient technological method to preserve and process vegetable raw material. This is a thermotechnical process with a high expenditure of the energy carrier, which is accompanied by irreversible phenomena. Therefore, it is of fi rst importance to carry out investigations on selecting an optimum drying mode to ensure a maximum expenditure of the energy carrier and a maximum rate of removal of moisture, and also to retain all the physicomechanical and biochemical properties of the dried material
