The dependence is derived to determine the duration of drying process for medical products in the course of steam sterilization. The drying index for assessing efficiency of different drying techniques is proposed. With the index, the most useful drying technique can be selected, and the duration of drying process can be determined.

Fruits and vegetables offer substantial nutritional and health benefits, but their short shelf life necessitates effective preservation methods. Conventional drying techniques, while efficient, often lead to deterioration in food quality. Recent advancements highlight the potential of infrared blanching (IRB) as a preparatory process to improve drying outcomes.

Drying plant raw materials using modern techniques or combined methods is currently one of the main trends in food technology, which combines process optimization in line with the principles of sustainable development while maintaining high product quality. Therefore, this study aims to be innovative, assessing the possibility of using sublimation techniques, convective drying (CD) at different temperatures (50 °C, 60 °C, 70 °C), vaccum microwave drying (VMD) at different power levels (120 W, 240 W, 360 W, and 360/120 W), and combining these two techniques- CD-VMD (50 °C/120 W, 60 °C/120 W, 70 °C/120 W) in the production of peach snacks. The qualitative analysis of the tested dried peaches showed that the content of polyphenols was dominated by polymers of procyanidins (82.

Nowadays, Egypt is treating the Nile River Water to produce drinking water, and this process generates large amounts of waste, around 635 million m annually, which is called water treatment plant sludge (WTPS). This WTPS cost the government around 30 million US dollars to return it back to the Nile River in addition to negatively affecting the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find environmentally friendly alternatives that reduce the impact of such an issue.

Many biological markers of normal and disease states can be detected in saliva. The benefits of saliva collection for research include being non-invasive, ease of frequent sample collection, saving time, and being cost-effective. A small volume (≈1 mL) of saliva is enough for these analyses that can be collected in just a few minutes.
