Process monitoring and control of compost tea production using a PLC–PC based architecture

Ensuring traceability and comparability of process conditions in compost tea production remains a significant engineering challenge in practical applications. Although many studies in the literature primarily focus on the biological and agronomic effects of compost tea, the dynam...

Ultrasound-Assisted Osmotic Pretreatment of Myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) Berries with Grape Molasses: Impacts on Convective Drying Quality

Myrtle berries are rich in bioactive phenolics and volatile terpenes and have potential for use in functional food products. However, the combined application of grape molasses and ultrasound as a pretreatment before drying has received limited attention. This study characterized...

Evaluation of Drying Temperature and Air Velocity Dependent Profile of Bioactive Compounds, and Antioxidant Capacity of Black Mulberry (Morus Nigra L.) Fruit: a Chemometric Approach

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of drying temperature (50, 60, 70, and 80 °C) and air velocity (AV) (2 m/s and 3 m/s) on the phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity, total phenolic and monomeric anthocyanin contents, and color parameters (L*, a*, b*, C*, h) of...
