Untersuchung von Farbspektren und deren Zusammenhang mit anderen Produkteigenschaften bei unterschiedlichen Trocknungsprozessen von Lebensmitteln
(2021)
Zur Erfassung von Veränderungen der Produkteigenschaften während der Trocknung von Lebensmitteln werden zerstörungsfreie Qualitätsmesstechniken gefordert, mit denen Veränderungen im Inneren des Produkts bestimmt werden können. Gerade im industriellen Einsatz sind schnelle, präzise, und gleichzeitig robuste Verfahren besonders wichtig, um qualitativ hochwertige Produkte zu erhalten.
In dieser Arbeit wurde zur optischen Qualitätsmessung ein neuartiges multispektrales Kamerasystem eingesetzt, um von Veränderungen der ...

Litter characteristics of pine shavings, bio-secure pine shavings and sunflower hulls and its impact on broiler performance
(2021-02-22)
The aim of this study was to investigate the physical characteristics of three litter materials, namely pine shavings (PS), bio-secure, fumigated pine shavings (BS) and sunflower hulls (SH) and its influence on broiler performance over a 33-day production cycle. The experiment was conducted in commercial poultry houses holding 42,500 chicks each, utilising a randomised block design with six house replicates per treatment. Litter samples were collected weekly for analyses of moisture, water-holding capacity, bulk ...

A review of soil fertility management communication in sub-Saharan Afrika
(2021-02-12)
In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), declining soil fertility is among the factors a ecting optimal food production. Although a number of interventions have been implemented to improve soil fertility management (SFM) in SSA, their adoption especially among small scale farmers has been low. Although the literature provides considerable evidence of socioeconomic factors which influence adoption, the subject of how communication influences adoption of SFM remains under-explored. This paper therefore reviewed studies on SFM ...

Determinants of protected tomato production technologies among smallholder peri-urban producers in Kiambu, Kenya
(2021-03-05)
Climate variability and the rise in incidences of pests and diseases continue to undermine production of high value vegetables among smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. In order to respond to these challenges, protected farming technologies (PFT) (such as greenhouses) which modify the plant environment and therefore aid in avoiding the harmful eects of climatic factors have been promoted. Greenhouses protect the crops against high solar radiation and heavy rainfall that have the potential of destroying vulnerable ...

Investigation of drying behavior and color development of beef slices for development of non-invasive monitoring approaches
(2021)
Meat drying has a long tradition worldwide and technically dried meat is increasingly valued as a low-fat snack or high-protein food product. Convection drying is widely used in industrial food preservation and has to provide high process efficiency and high product qualities, which can be contradictory. Therefore, it is important to understand the changes that occur in the product in order to develop drying strategies that consider process and product efficiency each at an acceptable level. The objective of this ...
