Özet
Industrial de-crystallization of honey is carried out by using hot water or air at 60 °C or higher temperatures with the cost of energy and longer process times. The objectives of this study were to apply RF processing for de-crystallization and monitor this process with time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR) data and a computational model. For this purpose, crystallized honey samples were processed in a 10 kW - 27.12 MHz free-running oscillator RF system, and experimental temperature data were used to validate the developed computational model. TD-NMR experiments were performed to monitor the de-crystallization, and the obtained kinetics data were coupled with temperature increase to compute the crystal content changes through the process. The RF de-crystallization led to a significant decrease (>70% compared to the conventional processes) in process time for industrial scale processing demonstrating its sustainability.
