Superheated steam fluidised bed paddy drying

Superheated steam reduction of deoxynivalenol in naturally contaminated wheat kernels

“…Superheated steam processing has been known to produce browning or discoloration in thermally sensitive products (Markowski, Cenkowski, Hatcher, Dexter, & Edwards, 2003;Prachayawarakorn, Soponronnarit, Wetchacama, & Jaisut, 2002;Taechapairoj, Dhuchakallaya, Soponronnarit, Wetchacama, & Prachayawarakorn, 2003). All samples processed during this experiment showed some changes in color and appearance.…”

Modelling of parboiled rice in superheated-steam fluidized bed

“…It is note that paddy should not be dried below 19% dry basis by using superheated steam otherwise the drop in head rice yield is enormous (Taechapairoj, Prachayawarakorn, & Soponronnarit, 2003). To maintain high head-rice yield, the slow-drying technique is necessary for reducing the moisture content from the critical level.…”

Food Processing and Cooking with New Heating System Combining Superheated Steam and Hot Water Spray

“…Food processing with SHS is still under study, and SHS has been applied to blanching or steaming 2,5,9,18,22 , pasteurization 1,7,11,19,25,32,33,39 , extraction 41 , decontamination of mycotoxins 6,38 , and other food processing 21,42 . SHS has also been applied to drying potatoes 14 , bananas 24 , noodles 26 , chicken meat 28 , shrimp 29 , scallops 31 , soybeans 37 , rice 40,43,49,50 , sugar beet pulp 52 , spent grain 53,54 , and other products 60,62 . In recent years, low-pressure SHS drying, which is expected to improve the quality of a product and energy efficiency, has been applied to spices and herbs 4,20 , potato chips 17,23,36 , and other products 27,30 .…”
