Comparative Evaluation of Drying-Induced Changes in Selected Edible Brown Seaweed Powders.

This research assessed the impact of oven drying (40°C, 50°C, and 60°C) and freeze-drying on the drying characteristics, nutritional makeup, functional traits, color, and microstructure of Sargassum wightii, Zonaria variegata, and Padina boergesenii. Moisture extraction occurred primarily during the falling-rate phase,...

Comparative Evaluation of Drying Kinetics, Energy Performance, Quality Attributes and Mathematical Modeling of Nile Tilapia in Natural and Forced Convection Greenhouse Solar Dryer System

This study investigates the drying kinetics and performance of a Parabolic Greenhouse Solar Dryer (PGSD) for Nile Tilapia during the winter season in Thailand (December–January). Two operation modes were tested: passive (natural convection) and active (forced convection) at air velocities of 1–3 m/s. Results showed tha...
