Modelling of electrohydrodynamic drying kinetics for carrot at varying electrode distance.

This study was conducted to analyze the drying kinetics of carrot slices in electrohydrodynamic (EHD) dryer at different electrode distances. Higher drying rate was observed up to about 70% (w.b.

Ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) of bioactive compounds from fruit and vegetable processing by-products: A review.

Growing fruit and vegetable processing industries generates a huge amount of by-products in the form of seed, skin, pomace, and rind containing a substantial quantity of bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, polyphenols, carotenoids, and dietary fiber. These processing wastes are considered to be of negligible value compared to the processed fruit or vegetable due to lack of sustainable extraction technique. Conventional extraction has certain limitations in terms of time, energy, and solvent requirements.
