discussion you will be able to learn the
concept determine and understand the
importance of unit operation in AB
processing application determine the
application of the unit operations in AB
processing what is unit operation in AB
Processing Unit operation is a process
which is performed to maintain or
improve the quality or to change the
form or characteristic of an
Agricultural Product the main purpose of
unit operation in AB processing is to
minimize the qualitative and
quantitative deterioration of the
material after harvest here are are some
classification of unit
operations we have heat transfer Mass
transfer fluid flow mixing size
adjustment and separation first let's
discuss heat transfer but before that
let's define first what is heat heat is
a thermal energy transferred between two
systems at different temperature that
come in contact
heat transfer is determined by the
exchange of heat between a given product
and its surrounding
medium heat is transferred in three
modes first we have conduction
conduction is a process of transmission
of heat in solids without the actual
movement of the particles second we have
convection it is a process of
transmission of heat in fluids such as
liquid and gases with the actal movement
of particles lastly we have radiation
radiation is a process of transmission
of heat without any medium the
importance of heating heating is
employed to eradicate microorganisms to
produce a healthy food extend the shelf
life of a product and to promote the
product with an acceptable taste odor
and
appearance next is mass
transfer Mass transfer is a group of
unit operation for separating the
components of mixtures based on the
transfer of material from one
homogeneous space to
another the diagram shows the process of
mass transfer which Vapor change into
liquid as it enters into the system and
some of it escapes as Vapor the
application of mass transfer in the
following AB process unit operation such
as distillation gas absorption
crystallization membrane processes
evaporation and rying further understand
the use of mass transfer in AB
processes let's discuss it one by one
first is
distillation it is used to separate a
component of a mixture on the basis of
different volatility one example of the
application of distillation is
distillation of fermented product
produces distilled beverage with a high
alcohol content or separates out other
fermentation product of commercial value
which is commonly used in
y next is gas
absorption it is a unit operation in
which a gas component of a mixture is
absorbed in liquid using single or
multi-stage absorption equipment gas
absorption is also known as scrubbing
typical example of a gas absorption is
the removal of of ammonia from a mixture
of ammonia and the air using water as a
solvent third is
crystallization it is a solid liquid
operation used to separate a solute from
its solution in the form of crystals an
example of this is the crystallization
of water to form ice cubes and snow next
is evaporation is a unit operation
commonly employed to remove water from
dute liquid foods to obtain concentrated
liquid product
a typical example of the evaporation
process is the manufacturer of tomato
paste usually around 35% to 37% total
solids obtained by evaporating water
from tomato juice which has initial
concentration of 5% to 6% total solids
next is membrane process it is used in
separating chemical components based on
a molecular size under a specific
pressure membranes are not only used
used for filtration extraction and
distillation it can be also applied for
gas storage in biog gas plants next is
drying a method of food preservation
that removes enough moisture from the
food so bacteria yeast and mold cannot
grow one application for drying is for
cereals and oil seeds are dried after
harvest to the moisture content that
allow microbial stability during
storage next is fluid
flow fluid flow is the process of
transporting liquids and foods such as
ab and food products through pipes using
gravity or pumps gravity causes the flow
of fluid from higher to lower elevations
a fluid moving to a lower elevation
under goes a decrease in its potential
energy while its kinetic energy
increases pump produces the pressure
required to move the liquid to avoid
sinking product must be denser than
water fourth is
mixing mixing is a unit operation in
which a uniform mixture is obtained from
two or more components by dispersion one
within the other it it is necessary to
ensure consistency in a raw materials or
intermediate product before final
production the goals of mixing include
efficient heat transfer or uniform
ingredient Incorporation
next is size adjustments it is the
process of reducing bigger solid pieces
of food into smaller one of desired size
and shape this may include slicing
dicing cutting grinding
Etc lastly
separation separations usually aim to
remove specific components in order to
increase the added value of the products
in AB processing it involves the separ
ation and recovery of targeted product
components from a complex mixture of
compounds this may involve separating a
solid from solid for example peeling of
potatoes separating a solid from a
liquid for example filtration or
separating from liquid to liquid for
example
evaporation
