High-Efficiency Seed Dehydration System

Abstract

This article is devoted to estimating the effectiveness of dehydration of suspended seeds. To address this issue, a dehydration system has been developed, based on which research has been conducted. Convection and microwaves were used as the treatment agent. Thus, the results obtained on the example of drying the grape seeds, showed that the dehydration in a suspended layer ensures the increase of the process speed and reduces the drying time. Moreover, the developed system allows of reducing energy consumption and increasing the quality of grape seeds, for later use in the food industry, medicine, cosmetology, pharmaceutics etc.
