“…Higher temperatures lead to an increase in the drying rate, demonstrating the importance of heat in causing temperature changes and inducing drying in the cassava chips. This supports the view of [21,22,23]. The drying rates obtained at the peak temperature for samples A to E are 0.1557, 0.1543, 0.1657, 0.1600, and 0.1529 g/min, respectively.…”

Drying is the removal of moisture content and other chemical compositions. The study aims to improve the process parameters involved in cassava chip drying. A statistical approach was utilized to evaluate the significance of the drying variables, such as the various cassava species, the drying temperature, and the drying duration, and their influences on the drying rate of cassava chips. The Latin Square Experiment Design was taken into account when determining the interaction between the critical optimum parameters. At the P 0.05 significance level, an ANOVA was used to analyze the linear and interaction influence of the drying variables on various quality parameters. The study used analysis to compare the F-statistic at four degrees of freedom and obtained an optimal significant level of 3.26. Also, the results showed a significant influence of temperature and period of drying on the drying rate of the cassava chips, but the cassava species did not affect the drying rate of the cassava chips. Also, the results from the statistical analysis were validated and can be employed for monitoring the drying process of cassava chips.

“…At the inception of the drying process, the moisture content looked unaltered. Thereafter, the moisture content against the varying temperature decreased steadily as the higher temperature favoured moisture removal from the samples[21]. The five samples exhibited similar moisture contents and temperatures relationship.…”

Projected by the United Nations, a global population surge to an estimated 9.6 billion by 2050 is anticipated, exerting substantial demands on Earth's finite natural resources for construction materials. This research endeavors to scrutinize and fabricate an innovative recycling approach for almond tree pruning as core materials, integrated with granite dust, employing cement as a binding agent in the fabrication of composite tiles measuring 190×98mm. Adhering to ISO standards, the resultant product underwent rigorous evaluation encompassing density, water absorption, flexural strength, compressive strength, and thermal conductivity. The composite tiles manifest a density spectrum spanning from 1.05 to 1.89 g/cm³ , coupled with a water absorption capacity ranging from 8.25% to 33.89%. The experimental findings reveal that the integration of almond tree pruning amidst granite dust leads to a reduction in the flexural and compressive strengths of the composite tiles. Nevertheless, Sample A (comprising 78% granite dust, 2% tree pruning, and a 20% cement admixture) attains the pinnacle of flexural strength at 1.256 MPa and compressive strength at 0.421 MPa, thus representing the optimal blend ratio. Additionally, the thermal conductivities of these composite tiles exhibit a variance from 0.022 to 0.3802 W/mK, rendering them ideally suited for applications requiring low-load bearing, insulation, lightweight properties, and energy-efficient construction tiles.

This study aims to determine the critical moisture content, moisture sorption isotherm (MSI) curve and the shelf-life of mocaf dry noodles products using the Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing (ASLT) approach to the critical moisture content approach using two types of packaging, PP (Polypropylene) and metalized. The results of this study are obtained critical moisture content of mocaf dry noodles products of 15.8467% (db), with the MSI curve at 30°C forming a type II isotherm type sigmoid curve with the equation y = 202.79x3-2261x2 + 110.36x2, 4188 with R2 = 0.9846. Calculation results for estimating the shelf-life of mocaf dry noodles are 992.739 days with PP (Polypropylene) packaging and 2,171.831 days with metalized packaging.
