Intensification of processing processes nuts (hazelnut) in the infrared ray field
This work is devoted to the intensification of the processes of thermal processing of nuts in the field of infrared (IR) rays. To this end, we have made changes in the classic technological schemes nut production. In particular, the thermal processes (drying, blanching, roasting) were replaced by the energy of infrared rays. The numerous experiments carried out on the previously prepared program and methodology indicate the expediency and prospects of thermal processing of nuts in the field of infrared rays; Identified the main factors of the thermal processing of nuts, distance between raw materials and IR generators, layer thickness, process time, type of irradiation, temperature of raw material, established their optimal technological regimes.
