Abstract

Thermal diffusivity of idli batter was evaluated under conditions simulating a batch and a continuous idli-making unit; an unsteady state heat transfer model was used. Idli batter was prepared with 70% moisture containing ratios of rice to blackgram of 1.75:1, 2.00:1 or 2.25:1, and fermented for 18 h at 30C. Thermal diffusivity values obtained using Riedel's equation and Marten's equation were compared. Average thermal diffusivity of idli batter for the batch process was 1.38 x 10-7 m2 s-1; for the continuous process, the value was slightly lower.
