The drying process is of great importance to the food industry. One of the best techniquesfor food drying is re-using mass and energy of air outlets from dryers. Mass and energy re-usage of waste can reduce carbon emissions and the use of fossil fuelsin industrial food processes. For this purpose, a mass and energy re-usage technique has been developed in a system of heat flow rate and condensate recovery from air outlets after drying.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), it is most abundant polyphenolin green tea.
