Drying Studies of Purple Non-Sulphur Bacterial Biomass and Application as a Single-Cell Protein Feed for <i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i> by Asifa Anwar (20884229)

“…The Ameri model fitted the best in cases of 60℃ and 80℃ in all of the considered thickness of biomass, while the Midilli-Kucuk model performed better at 100℃ and 120℃ for the majority of the thicknesses (with the exception of Page model in case of 2 mm at 100℃ and 4 mm at 120℃) where temperature gradients across the biomass become more pronounced. The drying rate decreased with increasing thickness of the biomass film because more time and energy are required to remove moisture from the paste through the film to the surface. …”
