Aflatoxin in corn drying

Reid, John F. January 1982 (has links)
Relationships defining conditions conducive for aflatoxin production by Aspergillus f!avus were coupled with a non-equilibrium corn drying model and used to determine constant drying conditions indicating a potential for aflatoxin development. Airflow rates of 0.8 to 16 m³/min/m³ in 18, 20, 22% initial wet-basis moisture content corn were simulated in a drying model at temperatures from 12.7 to 40.6°C and relative humidities from 5 to 95%. The potential for aflatoxin development was expressed in terms of the critical relative humidities at a given temperature and airflow rate. All relative humidities simulated above the critical relative humidity also indicated a potential for aflatoxin development. Typical drying conditions for high airflow, low temperature drying systems found in Virginia were simulated to identify potential aflatoxin problems. A sensitivity analysis evaluated the importance of temperature, time, and relative humidity on the drying conditions indicating a potential for aflatoxin development. The critical relative humidities for aflatoxin development reached high levels when drying was simulated at high airflow rates and/or low initial corn moisture contents. The results of the sensitivity analysis performed indicated that relatively small changes in the criteria for potential aflatoxin development significantly affected the critical relative humidities. The time criterion for initial aflatoxin development used in the model exhibited the greatest sensitivity. Drying data from drying tests performed in November, 1981 were used to validate the corn drying model. / Master of Science

Costa, Douglas Romeu da 28 September 2006 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2015-03-26T13:23:52Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 texto completo.pdf: 597622 bytes, checksum: f4207e10d637e94a50ec0c8a065f9093 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-09-28 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / The objective of this work was to analyze the feasibility of rotary dryers with radial air distribution, which is used in coffee processing, for corn drying. Energy consumption, drying cost and final quality of the product were evaluated. The drying air temperature was maintained at 80 and 100 º C. The drying systems consisted of a commercial rotary dryer and a modified rotary dryer. LPG was used for complementing heating of the drying air. Corn grains (Zea mays L.) with initial moisture content of approximately 19.5% b.u. were used in the experiment. The specific energy consumption and consumption of fuel and electric energy were determined for the evaluation of the energy efficiency of the drying systems. The results showed lower specific energy consumption for the modified rotary dryer. The technical modifications carried out in the gas heat generator provided mean reduction in the fuel consumption of approximately 50%. The breakage susceptibility of corn grains was below 5%. The mean percentage of total corn cracking in the commercial dryer (SC 80 and SC 100) was 17.6% higher than the obtained with the modified dryer (SM 80 and SM 100). The drying cost in the modified dryer was 2.2% lower than in the commercial dryer. / Objetivou-se com este trabalho, analisar a viabilidade do uso de secadores rotativos, com distribuição radial de ar, utilizados na cafeicultura, para a secagem de milho. Avaliou-se o consumo de energia, o custo de secagem e a qualidade final do produto. A temperatura do ar de secagem foi controlada em 80 e 100 °C. Os sistemas de secagem foram compostos por um secador rotativo comercial e um secador rotativo modificado. Utilizou-se o GLP para aquecimento complementar do ar de secagem. O milho em grãos (Zea mays L.), com teor inicial de água de aproximadamente 19,5% b.u., foi usado no experimento. Para a avaliação da eficiência energética dos sistemas de secagem, foram determinados o consumo específico de energia, os consumos de combustível e de energia elétrica. Pelos resultados, verificou-se menor consumo específico de energia no secador rotativo modificado. As modificações técnicas realizadas no gerador de calor a gás, proporcionaram redução média no consumo de combustível em aproximadamente 50%. A susceptibilidade à quebra do produto foi inferior a 5%. A percentagem média de trinca total do milho no secador comercial (SC 80 e SC 100) foi 17,6% superior àquela obtida com secador modificado (SM 80 e SM 100). O custo de secagem foi 2,2% menor no secador modificado que no secador comercial.
