Abstract

Processing of food should adopt an energy efficient path such as renewable energy, instead of conventional energy intensified units. Solar energy is one such option, which is cost effective and energy efficient. But developing a cost-effective solar product with optimised design factors to produce premium quality food is bit challenging. The solar components are to be designed and selected to attest to maximum utilisation of solar energy and its conversion. The review is structured into five parts. The first part explores the different types and limitations of solar dryer, the second part focuses on various design and fabrication aspects of each and every component of a solar dryers, the third part focusses on selection criteria, fourth part elaborates on the environment, economic and social aspects of solar dryer and fifth part focusses on challenges and future prospects. SWOT analysis of various types of solar dryer is also presented in this work. Upgrading solar dryers with modern technologies for maximum efficiency with distributed production and feasibility of drying multiple food products, will yield higher payback. However, the quality of dried food, especially the aroma and nutrition value will significantly affect the revenue generation.

用于食品保鲜的太阳能干燥器:设计、制造和障碍的深入回顾
食品加工应采用可再生能源等节能途径,而不是传统的能源强化装置。太阳能就是这样一种选择,它具有成本效益和能源效率。但是开发一种具有优化设计因素的具有成本效益的太阳能产品来生产优质食品有点挑战性。太阳能组件的设计和选择应保证最大限度地利用太阳能及其转换。本综述分为五个部分。第一部分探讨了太阳能烘干机的不同类型和局限性,第二部分侧重于太阳能烘干机的每个组件的各种设计和制造方面,第三部分侧重于选择标准,第四部分阐述了太阳能烘干机的环境,经济和社会方面,第五部分侧重于挑战和未来前景。本文还对各类太阳能干燥机进行了SWOT分析。用现代技术升级太阳能烘干机,以实现分布式生产的最高效率和干燥多种食品的可行性,将产生更高的回报。然而,干燥食品的质量,特别是香气和营养价值将显著影响创收。

期刊介绍: Food Engineering Reviews publishes articles encompassing all engineering aspects of today’s scientific food research. The journal focuses on both classic and modern food engineering topics, exploring essential factors such as the health, nutritional, and environmental aspects of food processing. Trends that will drive the discipline over time, from the lab to industrial implementation, are identified and discussed. The scope of topics addressed is broad, including transport phenomena in food processing; food process engineering; physical properties of foods; food nano-science and nano-engineering; food equipment design; food plant design; modeling food processes; microbial inactivation kinetics; preservation technologies; engineering aspects of food packaging; shelf-life, storage and distribution of foods; instrumentation, control and automation in food processing; food engineering, health and nutrition; energy and economic considerations in food engineering; sustainability; and food engineering education.
