Abstract
Crab meat samples were subjected to (i) convective drying at 45°C and (ii) Interval Starting Accessibility Drying (ISAD) at 45°C and 3.5 m/s with 15 s of active time and tempering periods ranging between 15 s and 120 s, in order to investigate firstly the effect of air flow velocity (1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 5 m/s) on drying kinetics and energy consumption, and secondly to estimate the Critical Air Velocity (CAV). The impact of ISAD compared to conventional continuous drying was significant in terms of effective drying time, energy consumption, and rehydration rate and capacity. Hence, ISAD treatment significantly reduces the effective drying time by about 86 % to reach the same final water content for conventionally dried crab samples. ISAD reduced the energy consumption from 198.42 kWh to 26.70 kWh at the tempering time of 120 s. ISAD also allowed a much better rehydration rate and capacity compared to the conventional continuous drying process. Consequently, the ISAD regime can be considered as a relevant way for intensifying the internal resistance to water transfer during the drying process of food products.

Official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering:
Part C
FBP aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in the branches of engineering and science dedicated to the safe processing of biological products. It is the only journal to exploit the synergy between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering.
Papers showing how research results can be used in engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in equipment or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of food and bioproducts processing.
The journal has a strong emphasis on the interface between engineering and food or bioproducts. Papers that are not likely to be published are those:
• Primarily concerned with food formulation
• That use experimental design techniques to obtain response surfaces but gain little insight from them
• That are empirical and ignore established mechanistic models, e.g., empirical drying curves
• That are primarily concerned about sensory evaluation and colour
• Concern the extraction, encapsulation and/or antioxidant activity of a specific biological material without providing insight that could be applied to a similar but different material,
• Containing only chemical analyses of biological materials.
