The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of hot air drying and microwave-infrared combination drying on porous structure of eggplants. Hot air drying was performed in a tray dryer at 50 degrees C with an air velocity of 1.5 m s(-1). In microwave-infrared combination oven, different microwave powers (30%, 40% and 50%) were combined with different infrared powers (10%, 20%). During drying process, initial moisture content decreased from 14 kg water kg(-1) dry solid to approximately 0.13 kg water kg(-1) dry solid for eggplants. Pore size distributions of dried samples were analyzed with mercury porosimetry. Pores in different samples were characterized by cumulative intrusion curves which showed total volume of mercury intruded the poresin any size range and the threshold diameter. Cumulative intrusion curves had a sharp rise that indicated existence of macro pores on the surface. Unlike microwave infrared combination dried eggplants, hot air dried eggplants did not have pores above 200 gm size. Threshold diameter of eggplants dried in microwave-infrared combination oven were in the range of 48.86-73.42 gm which were greater than that of hot air dried eggplant, 42.47 mu m. Microwave-infrared combination drying provided more porous structure than hot air dried ones due to higher internal pressure. As infrared and microwave power increased, threshold diameter increased and eggplants with more porous structure were obtained.

Microwave-infrared combination drying of eggplants Aydoğdu, Ayça; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Department of Food Engineering (2014) The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of hot-air drying and microwave-infrared combination drying on drying characteristics and quality parameters of eggplants. Eggplant slices were dried by using microwave-infrared combination oven at different microwave powers (30%, 40% and 50%) and different infrared (IR) powers (10%, 20% and 30%). Hot air drying was performed in tray dryer at 50°C with an air velocity of 1.5 m/s. As quality parameters, color, rehydration ratio, shrinkage, microstruc...
Modeling of heat and mass transfer in microwave-infrared heating of zucchini Yazıcıoğlu, Nalan; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Department of Food Engineering (2016) The main objective of this study is to develop a finite element model to predict the variation of temperature and moisture content of zucchini during microwave-infrared heating. There is no information in literature about heating of zucchini by using this method. Heat and mass transfer in zucchini heated in microwave and infrared combination oven were modelled by Finite Element method. Microwave power was predicted by using the exact form of Lambert Law and calculating the electric field distribution by Max...
Effects of Microwave-Infrared Combination Drying on Quality of Eggplants Aydogdu, Ayca; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2015-06-01) The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of hot-air drying and microwave-infrared combination drying on drying characteristics and quality parameters of eggplants. Eggplant slices were dried by using microwave-infrared combination oven at different microwave powers (30, 40, and 50 %) and different infrared (IR) powers (10, 20, and 30 %). Hot-air drying was performed in a tray dryer at 50 A degrees C with an air velocity of 1.5 m/s. As quality parameters, color, rehydration ratio, shrinkage...
Metamaterial Sensor Applications Based on Broadside Coupled SRR and V Shaped Resonator Structures EKMEKÇİ, EVREN; Sayan, Gönül (2011-07-08) In this study, the use of broadside-coupled SRR (BC-SRR) metamaterial topology is suggested for pressure, temperature, humidity and concentration sensor applications. Also, the use of V-shaped resonator topology is suggested for pressure sensor application. The feasibility of such sensors are demonstrated by numerical simulations for microwave region under magnetic excitation.
Pore Development, Oil and Moisture Distribution in Crust and Core Regions of Potatoes During Frying ISIK, Betul; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (2016-10-01) The mechanism of moisture loss, oil uptake, and pore formation during frying is required to be clarified. The main objective of this study was to evaluate moisture content, oil uptake, and pore development of the crust and core regions of potatoes during frying. Potatoes were fried for 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 min and separated into two parts as crust and core for the analysis of moisture and oil contents, porosity, and pore size distribution. Moisture contents of crust and core parts of fried potatoes were sig...
