Studies on caustic peeling of apples

1996-05-01
Effects of temperature, concentration of NaOH solutions and immersion time on caustic peeling of apples were studied. NaOH solutions of 6, 9, 12 and 15% were heated to 60, 70, 80, and 90 degrees C at various immersion times were used, until more than 98% peeling was achieved. Temperature of caustic solution versus immersion time plot showed a linear trend. Concentration of the caustic solution changed linearly with respect to immersion time. Increase in both temperature and concentration reduced the immersion time needed for efficient peeling.

Enzymatic peeling of apricots nectarines and peaches
TOKER, İlkem; Bayındırlı, Alev (2003-03-01)
Different combinations of Peelzym (I, II, III and IV) concentration (0.1, 0.55, 1 cm(3) enzyme/100 cm(3) solution), temperature (20degreesC, 35degreesC, 50degreesC), pH (3.0, 4.5, 6.0) and time (20, 40, 60 min) were used for enzymatic peeling of apricots, nectarines and peaches. The optimum conditions were determined by using response surface methodology. Peeling yield, absorption of enzyme solution and texture changes were measured after peeling. For peeling of apricots with Peelzym IV, the optimum tempera...
Lye peeling of 'Tombul' hazelnuts and effect of peeling on quality
KALEOGLU, M; BAYINDIRLI, LEVENT A.; Bayındırlı, Alev (Elsevier BV, 2004-09-01)
Hazelnuts were lye peeled and the peeling time (2-12 min), temperature (63-97degreesC) and NaOH concentration (40-140 g NaOH kg(-1) peeling solution) effects on peeling and quality were investigated. Increases in both temperature and concentration of lye solution led to a decrease in peeling time. Moisture content of samples were changed significantly (P<0.05) after the peeling process due to absorption of water. Peeling affected oil and fatty acid contents, peroxide number and colour of the hazelnuts when ...
Studies on device properties of an n-AgIn5Se8/p-Si heterojunction diode
KALELİ, Murat; Parlak, Mehmet; Ercelebi, C. (2011-10-12)
In this study, polycrystalline thin films of ternary AgIn5Se8 compounds with n-type conductivity were deposited on p-type Si substrates from the powder of a Ag3In5Se9 single crystal by a thermal evaporation technique. Transport and photo-transport properties of the In/n-AgIn5Se8/p-Si/Al sandwich structure were investigated by analyzing temperature-dependent dc current-voltage (I-V), and photo-response measurements carried out in the temperature range of 200-360 K. In order to obtain the series resistance (R...
Investigation on replication of microfluidic channels by hot embossing
Yıldırım, Ender; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir (2017-01-01)
In this study, effects of embossing temperature, time, and force on production of a microfluidic device were investigated. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) substrates were hot embossed by using a micromilled aluminum mold. The process parameters were altered to observe the variation of replication rate in width and depth as well as symmetry of the replicated microfluidic channels. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the experimental results indicated that embossing temperature was the most important process param...
Electrochemical decomposition of SiO2 pellets to form silicon in molten salts
Ergul, Emre; Karakaya, İshak; Erdogan, Metehan (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-21)
Direct electrochemical reduction of porous SiO2 pellets in molten CaCl2 salt and CaCl2-NaCl salt mixture was investigated by applying 2.8 V potential. The study focused on the effects of temperature, particle size of SiO2 powder starting material and the behavior of cathode contacting materials during electrochemical reduction process. The starting materials and the electrolysis products were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy mainly. The studies showed that smaller...
