Refractance Window Dehydration Technology A Novel Contact Drying Method
Egg powders must retain physical and technological properties during drying to offer best quality. InfraRWD ensures Refractance Window Dryer the best quality since it is a gentle drying technique. The plastic film commonly used in RWD technology is Mylar.
Thermal drying consumes up to 25% of the industrial energy consumption in developed countries. Refractance Window is a relativelynew drying methodthat it is characterized by maintaining a relatively low temperature inside the food and short drying times. A RW dryer uses circulating hot water as a means to convey thermal energy to materials to be dehydrated.
IR-assisted RW™ method 60 °C , 75 °C , and 90 °C . Microstructure of pieces of dried Physalis purée peel via SEM (500×). Figure 3A shows the microphotography of an integral peel piece from fresh Physalis purée. This microphotography enables exhibiting a skin piece very properly for observation. From the microphotography, a kind of bumps, called “emergencies” by the author is shown, which has been described extensively by . These emergencies behave as a secretory structure and lend the fruit a kind of semi-rough texture, in addition, these are formed by cells of the epidermis and hypodermis.
Contrast is 0 for a constant image34. The textural feature correlation is a measure of how correlated a pixel is to its neighbour over the whole image. Its range lies between − 1 and + 1.
The lowest value was obtained (0.065 ± 0.015 µkat) at 50 °C. The CHNO test depicted lower lipid oxidation in the case of RW-dried samples. Aloe-vera extract was dried using spray drying, freeze drying, and RW drying methods.
The cooling part is to reduce the product’s temperature below the glass transition temperature and to prevent product stickiness. Sun drying and hot air drying cause significant loss of color that make the product less appealing to consumers and can result in losses of nutrient content and rehydration ability. •Effects of refractance window drying on process and quality properties were shown.

The effect of drying method and storage on color characteristics of paprika.
This review paper aims to comprehend the RW drying system more mechanistically to understand better the principles, diffusion models explaining the transfer processes, and emerging novel hybrid drying approaches. On the other hand, Refractance Window drying is a novel drying system which converts foods into flakes or powders11. Here, thermal energy is transferred from hot water (95–97 °C), which is circulated beneath a plastic conveyer belt and used to dry a thin layer of product on the belt surface12. Studies have suggested that using a thin plastic belt which is transparent to infrared radiation creates a “window” for thermal energy to become transferred from hot water to wet food material13. Refractance WindowTM-Drying is one such novel fourth-generation drying technology which has recently gained huge attention due to its several advantages.
Heat exchangers are installed on dryer exhaust air. Refractance Window Drying is a gentle method of dehydrating fresh whole food. It gently removes water from our foods while protecting the vitamins, minerals and micronutrients. Fractal surface analysis and thermodynamic properties of moisture sorption of calcium–sucrose powders. Quality retention in strawberry and carrot purees dried with refractance window system. Effects of microfluidisation process on the amounts and distribution of encapsulated and non-encapsulated α-tocopherol microcapsules obtained by spray drying.
The ΔE value of kernels was found lowest (4.36) at 70 °C and texture profile results were found better than those of walnut kernels obtained by sun drying. The total phenolic content, and the antioxidant activity of the RW-dried product were found significantly higher than the sun-dried sample. The TPC value of the RW dried sample obtained at 90 °C was found maximum to be 2710 ± 2.75 mg GAE/100 g. The IC50 value of RW dried walnut kernel was found lowest (4.12 ± 0.45 µg/mL) at 50 °C. The LOX activity of all samples was significantly lower in the case of RW drying.
