Time Evolution of Physicochemical Properties of Carrots During the Drying Process

This study is aimed to determine the properties of Nantes carrots while drying by hot air at three different temperatures (50, 60 and 70 ºC). The chemical properties evaluated were: moisture, pro- tein, fibre, ash, sugars and water activity, and the physical properties were: texture, color, density and porosity. The results showed that the drying at 70 ºC affected mostly the chemical properties analyzed. Regarding the texture, similar changes were recorded in terms of hardness, gumminess and chewiness at the temperature of 70 ºC that affected these properties the most. Regarding color, in general the vari- ations in a* and b* along drying were not meaningful, although some discoloration was observed (in- crease in L*). The porosity increased due to the decrease in humidity. The final porosity measured for the carrots dried at 70 ºC was; however, lower than those for 50 and 60 ºC.

System Analysis of Innovative Projects in Mechanical Engineering

Modern production and innovation processes in industrial corporations differ by complex nature of modern technologies and organizational solutions. Adequate methodological approaches to their analysis and evaluation of efficiency are required. The present study contains the conceptand the model of operational and innovation program for which formulated theoretical and methodological principles and systematic statement of the general problem of planning, designed to optimize the process of resource usage under different criteria, including: investment, financial, technological, industrial and information capabilities of the corporation.

Volumetric calibration of process vessels using digital computer techniques /

The paper describes a procedure for accurately and speedily calibrating tanks used for the chemical processing of nuclear materials. The procedure features the use of (1) precalibrated vessels certified to deliver known volumes of liquid, (2) calibrated linear measuring devices, and (3) a digital computer for manipulating data and producing printed calibration information. Calibration records of the standards are traceable to primary standards. Logic is incorporated in the computer program to accomplish curve fitting and perform the tests to accept or to reject the calibration, based on statistical, empirical, and report requirements. This logic is believed to be unique.
